Bab 2564: Chapter 2499: The War Begins_1
```
Xue Yuntian immediately erupted with rage, thundering, "Ghost Emperor, are you threatening me? Do you really think without your help, the Douling Empire can't continue to develop?"
Ghost Emperor Yiran, unfazed, calmly said, "Develop? Your Majesty the Emperor, you should be very clear about the level of technology in the Douling Empire at the beginning. The reason it has developed to its current state is entirely due to the Soul Guidance Technology provided by the Holy Spirit Cult!"
Since he dared to appear here, he must be confident that Xue Yuntian would not turn his back on him!
Hearing these words, the rest of the Daijin all showed shocked expressions...
Never would they have imagined the Soul Guidance Technology of the Douling Empire was actually given by the Holy Spirit Cult!
They had thought it was the changes brought about by the enthusiastic teaching of those poached Tang Sect Disciples!
Finally, Xue Yuntian's complexion changed...
With a somewhat hoarse voice he ordered, "All of you, leave at once. This matter must not be leaked, or else, you will bear the consequences yourself!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The Daijin naturally did not dare to disobey and swiftly left the great hall...
Having heard this secret and not being silenced was already a great fortune!
Ghost Emperor did not stop them, just calmly watching...
Only when the great hall was left with Xue Yuntian, the Ghost Emperor, and the Ultimate Douluo responsible for protecting the former, did the Ghost Emperor speak again, "What do you think about what was said before, Your Majesty?"
Xue Yuntian suppressed the anger in his heart and narrowed his eyes, "Ghost Emperor, what exactly is your purpose?"
He could feel that the Ghost Emperor was so eager for the Douling Empire to start a war with Soul Land, it was definitely part of a huge conspiracy!
The Ghost Emperor's eyes shifted slightly, "This is the secret of the Holy Spirit Cult, Your Majesty, you need not inquire further!"
Xue Yuntian did not compromise this time either, pressing on, "If you do not clarify this matter, I will not agree to let the Douling Empire declare war on Soul Land!"
If the Holy Spirit Cult betrayed the Douling Empire, then once war was declared, it was very likely to become the target of other empires' joint elimination!
Ghost Emperor too started to feel a bit dissatisfied, and his tone became increasingly colder, "Your Majesty, I must remind you, the more you know about certain matters, the more dangerous it becomes!"
Feeling the murderous intent, the Ultimate Douluo immediately stood in front of Xue Yuntian, vigilantly watching Ghost Emperor...
He thought to himself, "As expected, one must be extremely cautious when working with a person who kills without blinking. If you're not careful, he'll turn on you!"
"Your Majesty, perhaps our initial choice was wrong!"
Seeing this, Ghost Emperor did not attack, but slowly turned around...
"Within three days, I must see the Douling Empire formally declare war on Soul Land! If you don't do this, then the Douling Empire, just wait to be devoured by other empires!"
He himself only needed to spread the news of the Douling Empire's cooperation with the Holy Spirit Cult, and without even lifting a finger, he could make it the target of public scorn!
In the blink of an eye, his figure and presence merged into the darkness...
The Ultimate Douluo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, relieved that the other party had not taken action...
"Your Majesty, what should we do?"
Xue Yuntian clenched his fists, the veins on his forehead becoming terribly pronounced, "What else can we do? Do as he says!"
Within three days, declare war on Soul Land!
Ghost Emperor, I will remember this humiliation!
If Soul Land can be destroyed, then the next target for the Douling Empire will definitely be the Holy Spirit Cult!

As expected, the Douling Empire's declaration of war against Soul Land had spread far and wide in just a few hours…
One could even hear many Soul Masters discussing the matter on any given street!
"Has the Douling Empire lost its mind? To start a war when the Abyssal Creature Army is invading Soul Land!"
"Exactly, don't these guys fear that once Soul Land perishes, the next target will be the Douling Empire?"
"Damn it, various powers within Soul Land have already suffered huge losses; how can we afford to wage war now?"
"Could this be false information? There isn't much cooperation between Douling Empire and us, but there's no conflict either, to the extent that we would come to blows, right?"
"Humph, don't even think about it. This is definitely Douling Empire trying to take advantage of Soul Land's vulnerabilities to seize all its technology and resources."
"Ridiculous! The Douling Empire's technology is worlds apart from the federation's. How could they even dream of ruling Soul Land?"
However, the most troubled of all was the federation at this moment!
The Chairman, with a grim face, looked at the Council Members before him, "I believe you all have received the message; the Douling Empire has formally declared war on the entire Soul Land!"
The other Council Members spoke indignantly, "War, then war? Is our federation afraid of them?"
"That's right, with their technology, attempting to compete with us is simply suicide!"
"But... If the Douling Empire has initiated war, they must have analyzed all this already. Could they have some sort of trump card?"
"Who cares about their trump card. If it comes down to it, we'll just launch the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missiles and wipe out the Douling Empire! It's just a pity for those who will be implicated!"
"No, we cannot easily use that. It is our last line of defense against the Abyssal Creature Army!"
The Chairman then interrupted, "This is probably why the Douling Empire dared to declare war!"
Without the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missiles, if the defenses break, it could also lead to the destruction of Soul Land!
After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Not only that, but they might also be in collusion with the Holy Spirit Cult!"
"Otherwise, to make such immense progress in soul guidance technology in such a short time, it's impossible by relying on just a few Tang Sect disciples!"
Upon hearing this, one of the Council Members furrowed their brows, "Chairman, what do you think we should do? The Vice Chairman is not here; it's up to you to decide!"
If Qiangu Qingfeng were here, at least he could offer the most reasonable advice!
Reluctant as they were to admit it, none present could match the wisdom of the former!
The Chairman propped up his chin, pondering, "Since it's war, whether we accept it or not, the Douling Empire will not stop at anything!"
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, "That's right, there's the Xingluo Empire!"
If the Douling Empire intends to rule over Soul Land, the Xingluo Empire will definitely not stand idly by!
After all, the two share no ordinary interests!
Another Council Member's eyes widened, "Chairman, do you mean to suggest that we ask the Xingluo Empire for help?"
It was already good that the Xingluo Empire hadn't declared war, yet they were considering asking for assistance!
The Chairman nodded slightly, "Indeed, haven't the Xingluo Empire's troops already arrived within our borders? We can negotiate with them!"
"As long as we offer enough benefits, the Xingluo Empire won't refuse. After all, His Majesty the Emperor has long been eyeing the Douling Empire!"
