Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 307 Underground Forces of Mingdu
During her evening cultivation session, Zhang Lexuan seemed to have returned to normal, and Zhou Sichen and Xu Jiujiu, seeing this, didn't think much of it.

However, after a day of calming down, Zhang Lexuan had gradually calmed down.

She could sense the faint feelings she had for Zhou Sichen, but she was too ashamed to say them aloud, so she kept them buried deep in her heart.

What she needs to do now is to work hard and gradually become stronger; she must put everything else aside.

Only when you are strong enough will some things cease to be unattainable desires.

When Zhang Lexuan faced Zhou Sichen at this moment, she had basically regained her heroic spirit as the senior sister.

Looking at Zhou Sichen's handsome face, Zhang Lexuan said with a normal expression, "Sichen, for the past few months, I have been secretly active in Mingdu. Recently, I have made contact with the underground forces in Mingdu."

Upon hearing about the underground forces in Mingdu, Zhou Sichen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Zhang Lexuan continued, "The original leaders of the underground forces in Mingdu were only two parties. One was the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, which was supported by the Imperial Military. It was an underground force that controlled thieves and assassins and secretly sought profits for the military."

"The other side is the Ordinary Alliance, but this Ordinary Alliance is actually anything but ordinary. It controls almost all of the entertainment industry and most of the catering industry in Mingdu."

"And behind the Ordinary Alliance are all the great noble classes of the Sun Moon Empire. These nobles hold power and wealth, and even subtly rival the royal family."

As she said this, Zhang Lexuan's eyes gradually turned cold.

If the Aodu Chamber of Commerce and the Ordinary Alliance are the long-standing malignant tumors of the Sun Moon Empire, then the newly emerging third leader of the underground forces has made Zhang Lexuan want to kill him.

Zhang Lexuan continued, "This third Xishui Alliance has only recently emerged, but with its ruthless methods and vicious style, it has snatched food from the jaws of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce and the Pingfan Alliance, and has quickly formed a three-way balance of power."

Noticing Zhang Lexuan's expression, and given that Zhou Sichen was already familiar with the three major underground forces in Mingdu, he seized the opportunity to say:
"Senior Sister, could the royal family be behind the Xi Shui Alliance?"

Zhang Lexuan nodded: "That's right, the Xishui Alliance is backed by the royal family, and its methods are similar to those of the Evil Soul Masters."

"I can even be certain that the Xi Shui Alliance is the same group of evil soul masters who colluded with the high-ranking members of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family."

"What?!" Xu Jiujiu's eyes widened upon hearing this: "How dare the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire collude with evil soul masters so blatantly? Aren't they afraid of popular uprising?"

Zhou Sichen said, "In front of a Soul Master, what ability do ordinary people have to resist?"

"In this world where might makes right, only the mighty can speak. Otherwise, how could the mere Aodu Chamber of Commerce and the Ordinary Alliance control the underground forces of Mingdu, amass wealth, and reap huge profits?"

Both women understood Zhou Sichen's words; after all, it's never surprising that someone would do something like that when faced with self-interest.

Not to mention the Sun Moon Empire, which occupies the entire Sun Moon Continent, even the Star Luo Empire has experienced similar incidents.

It's just that everyone has something to gain, so they turn a blind eye.

Cooperating with evil spirit masters is undoubtedly unacceptable; just look at the three great empires of Douluo Continent to see why.

Even though underground forces like the Audu Chamber of Commerce and the Ordinary Alliance exist within various empires, no one has ever dared to cooperate with evil soul masters.

Once you cooperate with evil spirit masters, not only will the empire hold you accountable, but other forces will also make things difficult for you.

But things are different in the Sun Moon Empire. The royal family is openly cooperating with evil soul masters? Zhang Lexuan continued, "The reason I found out about this is because of the Nightmare Douluo we killed three months ago. I discovered that someone was secretly investigating this matter, so I also went along to test the waters."

As she spoke, Zhang Lexuan's expression turned solemn: "I investigated the Xishui Alliance, but in the end, I was discovered by that person. I exchanged a few blows with her. She was also a Title Douluo, and her strength should be even above that of the Nightmare Douluo."

"If there hadn't been so many people around and I hadn't wanted to linger in the fight, I might not have made it back."

Upon hearing Zhang Lexuan's words, Zhou Sichen's eyes narrowed slightly. In the original work, the Holy Spirit Sect was behind the Xishui Alliance, and there were also many elders of the Holy Spirit Sect in the Xishui Alliance.

None of the evil spirit masters are good people. They founded the Evening Water Alliance, so naturally they want to come and enjoy themselves.

Everyone has worked hard to cultivate and become a Title Douluo, and now that they've taken on the position of elder, they should naturally enjoy themselves.

The Evening Water Alliance was undoubtedly a place for these evil soul masters to pass the time.

It was precisely because of these high-ranking evil soul masters that the Xishui Alliance was able to rise to prominence and form a three-way balance of power with the Aodu Chamber of Commerce and the Pingfan Alliance.

Now that Zhang Lexuan has said this, Zhou Sichen is also considering messing around with the Xishui Alliance.

He couldn't wait for the underground Soul Master Competition, since that was five years away.

Now that Zhang Lexuan has already investigated the Xishui Alliance and even fought against its evil soul masters, Zhou Sichen has no reason not to go and meet them.

The Necromancer Saint God, this third martial soul, is the ancestor of all the evil soul masters. If we don't use it, wouldn't it be a waste of Elder Yi's painstaking efforts?
Moreover, these evil spirit masters are also the best materials. It would be good to use them for Elder Yi to research new undead, otherwise Elder Yi would be too bored.

Zhou Sichen asked, "Senior Sister, could you tell me more about the information you found?"

Zhang Lexuan nodded and continued, "Most of the higher-ups in this Xishui Alliance are probably evil soul masters, and I'm certain that there's more than one evil Douluo among them."

"Because of the Nightmare Douluo incident, the evil soul masters of the Xishui Alliance are somewhat hesitant to act rashly, and have even begun to suspect the Ordinary Alliance."

"However, the Xishui Alliance has no evidence either, but recently the two sides have reached a very tense stage, and I'm afraid a bloody battle will break out soon."

Zhou Sichen's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "In that case, wouldn't we be able to use this opportunity to sabotage things and give those evil soul masters of the Xishui Alliance a hard time?"

After listening to their conversation for a long time, he couldn't help but clap his hands: "I can't beat Evil Douluo, but I can still bully the small fry in the Xishui Alliance."

Zhang Lexuan thought for a moment and suggested, "There's no rush. I only have some information right now. Let me investigate further and have a more detailed understanding before making any plans."

Zhou Sichen thought for a moment and replied, "That's fine. Now that we have the Red Dust Hall Master as our guarantor, we haven't been harassed by the high-ranking officials of the Sun Moon Empire for months. We can't just expose ourselves and cause trouble for the Red Dust Hall Master and ourselves."

Xu Jiujiu also seemed to be thinking about it and said, "That's true. Our biggest advantage right now is that not many people know about us, so acting in secret is the safest option."

Zhang Lexuan clapped her hands: "Then it's settled. Focus on your cultivation tonight. Don't worry about so much during this time. We'll act together after I've done my investigation."

Zhou Sichen and Xu Jiujiu nodded: "Okay."
