Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 615 Secret Talk

"In addition, Wuhun City is about to be rebuilt, located in the northern part of the Star Sea Empire. After it is completed, you will have other missions." Qian Renxue took out a map and pointed out the location to Xu Jiujiu.

"Understood." Xu Jiujiu nodded, then asked, "Young Master, speaking of the Heavenly Soul Empire, your relationship with the Poison Undying Sect Master seems quite good. When will you reform them as well?"

Qian Renxue glanced at Xu Jiujiu: "Are you still thinking about unifying him?"

Xu Jiujiu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Well, to be honest, it's not too bad. It's just that the former Heaven Dou Empire and the former Star Luo Empire fought for many years, and later they fought against Heaven Soul and Dou Ling. After the Xu family ascends to the throne, they do have a chance to unify the country."

"You're better suited for politics than military campaigns," Qian Renxue shook her head. "If you were to command a battle, you'd be prone to impulsiveness, but you're adept at considering all aspects when dealing with government affairs. In ancient times, you would indeed be more suited to be a ruler, as you could stabilize the rear and use your own passion to motivate the troops and boost morale."

After a long while, she understood and nodded with a wry smile, acknowledging Qian Renxue's words. She could indeed get carried away at times, as had been evident during her inspection of the Mingdou Mountains and her cooperation with Dai Hao in their conflict with the Sun Moon Empire.

"But don't worry, once Wuhun City is rebuilt, the headquarters of the Continental Federal Parliament will be established there. Then you'll have your chance to shine. Don't let me down," Qian Renxue said earnestly.

After a long pause, she realized what Qian Renxue meant.

"Understood," Xu Jiujiu replied. "I will focus on collecting intelligence and information in this area from now on."

"Mmm," Qian Renxue responded softly.

"Excuse my boldness, but do you have any plans for the future?" Xu Jiujiu asked.

"I'll give you plenty of room to maneuver, so don't worry about my relationship with them," Qian Renxue said. "Because I'll probably be setting sail on an expedition soon. As long as you don't get into a war with them, everything will be fine. It'll be quite difficult, but can you manage it?"

"There is pressure, but I'm not afraid. However, I still hope to bring the Heavenly Soul Empire into the Federation as soon as possible." After a long pause, he continued, "Actually, the reason I asked you about the Heavenly Soul before was to prepare for this."

Qian Renxue's words were coded. She said that Wuhun City would soon be relocated to a new region, which was actually to gradually break away from Jingyang City of the Sun Moon Empire.

The new Spirit City and Shrek City, taken over by the Body Sect, will be situated at the two most important passes on the continent, and will be able to block the Star Dou Great Forest from both the east and west.

The Spirit Hall's influence is now spreading across the entire continent, especially within the Sun Moon Empire. Qian Renxue, wanting to be on the safe side, was worried that Xu Tianran might try something underhanded.

Qian Renxue understood that there was no fairness in the face of absolute power. However, she didn't want to interfere with these developments after she ascended to the God Realm; she wanted to make a good start on these issues while still on the continent.

"I'll make sure Du Bu Si completes the task with Tianhun; he can't possibly refuse," Qian Renxue said. "Tianhun's current emperor has little ambition; if war really breaks out, he won't be able to stop the Sun and Moon Iron Hoof, even with the help of the Body Sect."

Qian Renxue couldn't help but recall the meeting she had with Du Busi with Long Xiaoyao right after the war started in the north.

At that time, Du Bu Si said with a wry smile that the old emperor Tian Hun was no good, or rather, that none of the emperors at present were very good, including the Sun and Moon Emperors.

Their understanding of the outside world was basically limited to the audiences and memorials of their ministers. They would listen to the boastful speeches of their subordinates, and then after court, they would turn around and go back to the harem to seduce their concubines.

History always repeats itself. Behind every mediocre emperor is a diligent crown prince or princess, and these princes, unsurprisingly, always hope the old emperor dies soon. The situation in the Heavenly Soul Empire is relatively clear: the Body Sect claims to be a national protector sect, but it gradually seized power after the war began. Given Princess Vina's relationship with Poison Undying, it wouldn't be difficult for her to force the emperor to abdicate.

In contrast, the Douling Empire doesn't have anyone like that to fall back on.

If things weren't like they are now, perhaps Xu Sanshi could have sustained things for a while longer. But this guy has already been captured by the Body Sect and the Spirit Hall because of the Xuanming Sect.

"That's good then." Xu Jiujiu nodded. "Young Master, rest assured, I will not let you down."

"Okay, I'm leaving." Qian Renxue got up and left.

After she left, Nebula Douluo came to Xu Jiujiu's side and silently looked at her.

She already knew that her master had become a living dead, and she felt extremely guilty because she hadn't been by Xu Jiujiu's side at the time.

"Grandma Manyi, get ready. Our target is Xu Tianran of the Sun Moon Empire," Xu Jiujiu said slowly. "I need to know all the information about him from birth to the present, including the ministers who support him."

"Bribery?" Nebula Douluo asked.

"Yes, also, don't disturb the underground forces he supports. These people are probably already on the Shadow Palace's list." Xu Jiujiu said softly, "The young master has always only wanted to use the Sun Moon Empire as a stepping stone. She doesn't want any empire to survive anymore."

"Jiu Jiu, you really trust her that much?"

"In fact, the army of the Sun Moon Empire has been secretly bribed by her. The commander on the southern battlefield, Orange, is someone the current crown prince is working for, according to our previous investigation. However, when we heard that the young master was in a tough battle during the attack on Shrek Academy, she immediately ordered three Beast King Soul Master Corps to set off from the battlefield in Star Luo City and rush to the battlefield at full speed without saying a word."

After a long silence, he said in a low voice, "In the Imperial Dragon Soul Guidance Corps in the north, the division commander Xu Tianyuan also had some conflicts with Xu Tianran. He secretly hoarded so many level-nine fixed-position soul guidance shells. It's hard to imagine if he was preparing something for the future. And for the young master's plan, he didn't hesitate to fire more than twenty of them."

"As for the Master of Mingde Hall, the Master of the Offering Hall of the Sun and Moon Empire, and even the leader of the state religion, the Grand Elder, and the Supreme Leader of the Sun and Moon Empire!" Xu Jiu sighed for a long time, "They can all be considered as people around the young master. The young master's charm is just too great. So, we only have to face the Crown Prince. The young master has already solved the real troubles."

"Then she might as well just kill Xu Tianran, it would be much simpler," Nebula Douluo said, somewhat puzzled.

"Because this is a test for me." A glint flashed in Xu Jiujiu's eyes. "If I can complete this task, then I will undoubtedly be able to sit in the position of governor of the entire Federation in the future. If I fail... then the young master will take action herself."

"I don't understand. This could put you in a situation where you're being assassinated," Nebula Douluo said worriedly.

"Grandma Manyi, you've misunderstood. The young master didn't mean for me to kill him, but rather to keep him in check. In fact, she didn't really intend to kill Xu Tianran," Xu Jiujiu said helplessly. "And even if I fail, she probably won't actually kill Xu Tianran; she'll just turn him into a real puppet."

"Then why didn't you explain it to her before?"

"As a subordinate... it's best not to casually reveal the master's true thoughts." Xu Jiu smiled bitterly. "It will arouse suspicion. Some things are better left unsaid."
