I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

While Xu Jiujiu and Beibei were exchanging compliments, the others arrived quickly.

The first to arrive was Princess Vina, the representative of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and beside her was a Title Douluo.

Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to be from the Heavenly Soul Royal Family, which means he must be from the Body Sect.

Seeing Xu Jiujiu and the others already seated, Vina smiled elegantly and said, "I apologize to everyone from Qiling Tower and Shrek Academy. We're not late, are we?"

Beibei smiled first and said, "No, no, it's still early. We just arrived not long ago."

Xu Jiujiu added from the side, "What's more, the people from Douling and Xingluo haven't arrived yet."

"Oh, that's great," Vina said, as if she had breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she saw Xu Jiujiu sitting with Qilingta and asked with surprise and a hint of probing, "Oh, Sister Jiujiu, you've joined Qilingta? Was the rumor that Sister Jiujiu was abolished true?"

Faced with Vina's probing, Xu Jiu simply and frankly admitted the truth: "Yes, I did join the Spirit Tower."

"There's nothing I can do about it. My Xingyu is just that domineering. If she can't be a princess, she can only be the young master's wife of my fiancé."

Vina said happily, "Congratulations, Sister Jiu Jiu! I'm so envious of having such a fiancé."

In response, Xu Jiujiu replied with a forced smile, "Not at all, I heard that Sister Vina was also chosen by the Body Sect, and they even made the Body Sect the state religion of the Heavenly Soul Empire, didn't they?"

"I think Long Aotian, the young sect leader of the Body Sect, would be very willing to be your fiancé, after all, Vina is so cute."

"Hehe, thank you so much for your kind words, Sister Jiu Jiu."

"Same to you."

Those who were listening to the conversation between the two women broke out in a cold sweat.

Is this what they call aristocratic etiquette? On the surface, they're all polite to each other, but in reality, they're subtly implying that they've all tied themselves to powerful figures.

After a "friendly" exchange between Xu Jiujiu and Vina, the two "good sisters," representatives from the Douling Empire and the Xingluo Empire made their appearances one after another.

The representative of the Douling Empire was its third prince, Xue Nan, accompanied by the Douling Empire's guardian Douluo, Tianyang Douluo, who possessed the cultivation level of a level 97 Super Douluo.

The appearance of the people from the Star Luo Empire surprised Xu Jiujiu.

The representative of the Star Luo Empire is named Xu Tianxing, who is the son of her brother Xu Jiawei, and thus her nephew.

Despite being siblings, Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu have a significant age gap.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the former has a son of similar age to her.

However, her surprise wasn't because the representative was her nephew, since there weren't many people who could represent the royal family after she left Xingluo.

The main reason she was stunned was actually the person who appeared as the other party's bodyguard.

As for why she was so surprised, it's because theoretically she should have called him "Grandpa" or "Grandfather" for a long time.

That's right, the person who appears is Xu Xingyu's only blood relative, the only duke in the Star Luo Empire besides the White Tiger Duke, the Star Saint Duke Xu Tian.

Although Xu Jiujiu really wanted to greet his grandfather whom he hadn't seen for many years, considering that it was a formal occasion and everyone was present, he decided to postpone the matter until after the negotiations were over.

Therefore, after some pleasantries, the talks officially began.

Xu Jiujiu stood up and took on the responsibility of hosting, saying, "Thank you all very much for participating in this meeting. I believe everyone here understands the main purpose of this meeting."

Everyone present remained silent, their expressions conveying tacit approval.

Seeing this, Xu Jiujiu clapped his hands and said, "Very good. Now that everyone knows, I believe that the messages that our Spirit Pagoda previously sent out have been verified, right?"

In response, Vina elegantly replied, "If you're saying, Sister Jiu Jiu, that Xu Tianran might be trying to use this competition to wipe out all the forces, taking those who are willing to submit into his possession and eliminating those who aren't."

"That's true. Our Heavenly Soul Empire's state religion has already sent people to verify it. Although we still haven't found concrete evidence, with the opening of elite soul masters across the continent, all routes in and out of Mingdu have been completely blocked."

"It would be strange if Xu Tianran didn't have this thought, wouldn't it? I believe the others present felt the same way, right?"

"It does indeed match what our Shrek Academy detected," Beibei nodded.

"The same applies to Douling."

"The same applies to Xingluo."

"Since this is a fact that everyone here agrees on, why don't you get straight to the point, Sister Jiu Jiu?"

Xu Jiujiu simply offered a professional smile and said, "Although this meeting was invited by our Spirit Tower, you are essentially looking for our help, aren't you?"

"Why don't you just say it outright? What kind of plan do you expect our Spirit Tower to cooperate with in relation to the Three Kingdoms? You even want to drag Shrek Academy into this?"

"If you're willing to be frank, I'd like to share some special information that our Spirit Tower recently obtained regarding Mingdu."

To be honest, no one present expected that Xu Jiujiu would say such a direct thing, but since the conversation had already started, there was no need to keep hiding it anymore.

Moreover, they also wanted to know what kind of requirements the Spirit Tower had for them, so it was better to lay out their requirements directly on the table.

After the representatives of the three kingdoms exchanged glances, Xu Tianxing, the representative of the Star Luo Empire, finally spoke.

Xu Tianxing stood up, looked around, and slowly said, "Since Miss Xu Jiujiu has already been so frank, then we will also speak frankly."

"Xu Tianran's preparations for this competition have made us feel deeply threatened. Unlike the current Sun and Moon Emperor, this person is extremely ambitious. Once he has completely seized power, he may directly launch a war, breaking the peace between our countries over the past few years."

"Our strategy is to assassinate him during this continent-wide elite soul master competition, thereby eliminating him and striking a blow to the Sun Moon Empire's long-held ambition to unify the continent."

"We hope that Qiling Tower and Shrek Academy will support us in this operation," Prince Xue Nan continued, "because we know that with our current strength, we are no match for the advanced soul tools deployed in Mingdu."

"Our Heavenly Soul Empire is the same," Princess Vina continued. "In this operation, we hope to obtain intelligence and combat support from the Spirit Tower and Shrek Academy."

"At the same time, we also hope that Qiling Tower can provide support in soul tools for this operation. After all, Qiling Tower is the only one on the entire continent that can rival the Sun Moon Empire in the field of soul tools."
