Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 474 Ghost Emperor: Will We Win? The Opportunity for Unification!
"Who?"

Hearing the gloomy voice from the Ghost Emperor's side, Zhang Geyang's eyes widened. He looked at his master in front of him, and his expression became even more strange.

Is the Ghost Emperor preparing to deliver the goods to my door?

"I, the Emperor, will kill Jiang Xiu!" On the other end of the communication soul tool, the Ghost Emperor repeated with a sinister laugh.

"Ghost Emperor, do you know that Jiang Xiu's Body Sect has a close relationship with our Spirit Transmission Tower? In other words, Jiang Xiu can be considered a dear friend and family member of our Spirit Transmission Tower!"

At Jiang Xiu's prompting, Zhang Geyang slowly began to speak.

"Alright, Tower Master Zhang, none of us are good people, there's no need for this nonsense. I believe Tower Master Qian Gu has already given you instructions."

In the gloomy altar, a hint of disdain appeared in the Ghost Emperor's eyes. He clearly wanted Jiang Xiu dead, yet he insisted on playing tricks on him here.

Zhang Geyang's eyes flashed and he said, "Then tell me, how do you need this tower master to cooperate with you?"

"All you need to do is give me Jiang Xiu's itinerary, and when I make my move, you must lead Jiang Xiu to a place where no outsiders will notice," the Ghost Emperor whispered.

He wanted more than just to kill Jiang Xiu; he wanted the great war between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Federation that would follow.

Only by secretly killing Jiang Xiu without anyone noticing can the Star Luo Empire be forced to take on this mess without being able to clarify the situation!

“We definitely should find a good place where no one can find out,” Zhang Geyang nodded in deep agreement.

After all, they were going to assassinate the Ghost Emperor, so they certainly couldn't let him escape...

"Ghost Emperor, you really know how to handle people."

Upon hearing this, the Ghost Emperor's lips curled into a smile, and he said, word by word:

"This is called 'luring the enemy into a trap'!"

Zhang Geyang paused upon hearing this. This was indeed a trap, but he didn't know who was being lured into it…

Seeing this, Jiang Xiu's lips twitched slightly, and he silently uttered a few words. Zhang Geyang nodded to indicate that he understood, and then asked the Ghost Emperor:

"When do you plan to make your move, Ghost Emperor?"

"I'll tell you when Jiang Xiu performs in the Five Gods' Duel," the Ghost Emperor said, his dark green eyes flashing as he narrowed his eyes slightly.

He did hope that Jiang Xiu could win a few rounds, because that would be the perfect way to frame the Star Luo Empire for Jiang Xiu's death, but he certainly couldn't tell Zhang Geyang this.

"Alright, then I'll wait for your message." Zhang Geyang nodded slightly, and the communication soul tool then disconnected.

"My lord, what do you think?" Zhang Geyang asked Jiang Xiu respectfully.

"Since the Ghost Emperor is so eager to find himself a burial place, let's grant his wish," Jiang Xiu chuckled.

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Geyang replied, cupping his hands in greeting.

"Go ahead, and report any news immediately," Jiang Xiu instructed.

Zhang Geyang cupped his hands in greeting again, and his figure disappeared into the room.

After Zhang Geyang left, Jiang Xiu slightly raised his hand with its distinct knuckles, and countless black ripples instantly appeared in the room.

"Greetings to the Lord!"

In an instant, several terrifying figures slowly rose from the shadows, revealing themselves as powerful figures such as the Wise Emperor, the Scythe Emperor, the Heavenly Bull Emperor, the Ba Emperor, and the Ant Emperor.

"Hmm." Looking at the several Shadow Legion commanders under his command, Jiang Xiu's bloodshot eyes showed a hint of satisfaction. Among the Ten Emperors of the Abyss, he had already subdued several of them!
"Next, I will subdue the Star Luo Empire. What you need to do is, after the Five Gods' Battle and before the Star Luo Empire declares its allegiance to the Federation, eliminate... or remove those major opposing forces within the Star Luo Empire..."

"A unified federation in the future will not need too many voices."

Jiang Xiu remained indifferent and said calmly.

He no longer has the time or energy to play games with these powerful forces. His five-god duel with the Star Luo Empire is to preserve the power of the Douluo plane as much as possible and prepare for dealing with the Abyss plane.

However, the powerful families he wanted to rebel against were not worth his effort.

"Yes!" Emperor Lian and the others replied solemnly.

"These are the family genealogies of the Star Luo Empire ranked by power. The families marked with special marks are those with ulterior motives."

Emperor Zhi took out several rosters and family genealogies and handed them to Emperor Ba and others, saying as he did so.

"Oh? There's also a kill list." Looking at the roster in his hand, a hint of excitement appeared in Ba Huang's scarlet dragon eyes.

In his eyes, these powerful families and clans of the Star Luo Empire were not even considered lolis, in human terms.

For him, a force that even a Limit Douluo didn't possess was simply no challenge at all.

“Besides these aristocratic families, there will definitely be some rioters causing trouble. Before that, I will ask the Star Luo Empire for law enforcement authority. At that time, you will not need to show any mercy to these rioters.”

Jiang Xiu's bloodshot eyes flickered slightly, and he gave the order.

Those are no longer ordinary people; we must strike hard!

"Rest assured, my lord, six strikes per second is absolutely not my limit!" The Ant King's lips curled up as he slowly drew his Soul-Guided Thunder Staff. He would then show those rioters what it meant for law enforcement to be humane, for the staff to be powerful, for the feet to be precise, for the hands to be raised high, for the fists to be thrown at the right angle, and for every strike to carry an attitude.

"I'm quite adept at this myself," Emperor Ba said with a grin.

The first blow must hit the leg to prevent escape; the second blow must hit the mouth to prevent begging for mercy; and the third blow must hit the head hard to prevent resistance.

Looking at the excited expressions on their faces, the Scythe Emperor suddenly realized that he, the enforcer of the abyss, was perhaps too merciful...

After everyone received their tasks, the Ant King stepped forward slightly and presented a divine artifact.

"My lord, this is a divine artifact that has been modified according to your instructions."

The artifact was gourd-shaped, gilded, and covered with mysterious patterns. Within a barrier that even divine sense could not penetrate, the Vajra Bracelet artifact was embedded.

"Oh?" Jiang Xiu raised an eyebrow, reached out and took the gourd artifact. His powerful spiritual energy surged out instantly as he carefully examined the artifact.

"My lord, as you commanded, when this artifact is activated, it can imprison the opponent's weapon by simply calling its name."

"Furthermore, if you increase your soul power, you can fully realize the original effect of the Vajra Bracelet and directly put the opponent's weapon into the gourd."

The Ant King said with a slightly excited tone.

"Very good." Jiang Xiu's lips curled slightly as he casually put away the divine artifact.

This divine artifact was his weapon that guaranteed victory in the battle of the five gods, and it was also an opportunity for the Ant King, after his breakthrough, to personally modify the artifact.

After all, the Ant King would need to contribute to integrate the Golden Dragon Spear into the Heavenly Sacred Rift Halberd.

"My lord, shall we also subdue other Abyss Emperors? For example, the Black Emperor?" At this moment, Emperor Ba asked.

“As the commander-in-chief of the Abyss Battlefield, the Black Emperor must be subdued.” Jiang Xiu’s eyes gleamed.

If he can control the Black Emperor, then when the Abyss army launches a full-scale attack, he can disrupt the formation of the Abyss races, thereby further thwarting the Abyss plane's offensive.

"Ba Huang, didn't you say before that the Black Emperor already knew that she couldn't break through the God-level barrier with the Abyss? Then subtly tell her that there is an opportunity to break through to the God-level in the Douluo Plane."

"When she tries to leave the Abyss plane to fight, relying on her ability to return to the Abyss after death, that will be the best time to subdue her," Jiang Xiu said meaningfully.

"Yes!" Emperor Ba nodded thoughtfully.

Because the Baan clan he controls is an undisputed killing machine on the battlefield, his relationship with the Black Emperor is not unfamiliar.

"My lord, have you considered how to gain the support of the people of the Star Luo Empire for the Federation after your five-god duel?" Emperor Zhi asked pointedly.

"Xingluo has always admired heroism. Once I have crushed the top experts of the Xingluo Empire without any doubt, I will naturally establish a good image in the hearts of the people of Xingluo."

Jiang Xiu said with deep eyes, "As for how to make the people of Xingluo feel a sense of belonging and form a unified mindset, then we need external enemies."

"You mean the Abyss Plane?" A glint flashed in the eyes of the Wise Emperor.

“That’s right.” Jiang Xiu nodded slightly. “Currently, neither the Sun Moon Federation nor the Star Luo Empire’s citizens know that the war in the Abyss Plane still exists.”

"They thought the war was over long ago, after all, more than six thousand years have passed, but that's not the case. There have just been people secretly bearing the burden for them all along."

Jiang Xiu's tone was tinged with emotion, because his parents in this life had died in battle protecting the Abyss Passage.

Immediately, Jiang Xiu changed the subject, his gaze sharpening as he said:
"In the past, attacks from the Abyss Plane could be stopped, but this time the Abyss Saint King has decided to launch a full-scale attack on the Douluo Plane, so this matter can no longer be hidden. As a member of the Douluo Plane, they have the right to know."

"Moreover, as long as they acknowledge that they are part of the Douluo Plane, it will increase the Star Luo people's sense of unity. Then, after another interdimensional war, the entire Douluo Plane will be reduced to just one country!"

“Shift the internal conflict to the outside…” Emperor Zhi’s eyes flashed with a sharp light as he nodded in agreement.

"Get ready, everyone. We don't have much time left..."

Jiang Xiu looked out the window at the cool moonlight, his eyes filled with a profound meaning.

According to Ah Yin, Tang Hao will soon realize something is wrong, and then he will have to face more than just the Abyss Plane.

"No matter what, I will firmly continue down this path."

A resolute look appeared in Jiang Xiu's eyes.

His actions have always been like dancing a tightrope between two behemoths; even the slightest mistake could lead to utter ruin.

But he has no regrets, because he's already on his way!
"Whether I live or die is in my own hands!"

……

In the eerie altar, after disconnecting from Zhang Geyang's communication device, the Ghost Emperor immediately called the Underworld Emperor.

"What is it?" As the call connected, the indifferent voice of the Underworld Emperor rang out from the other end.

But the Ghost Emperor seemed to be used to it, and chuckled strangely, saying, "Underworld Emperor, didn't you tell Dark Bell a while ago that you were going to come to the Star Luo Empire to eliminate some ants? Where are you now?"

After a moment of silence, the communication device finally transmitted the Hades's eerie voice:
"You're right, we really do need to get rid of some ants..."
