บท 2295: Chapter 2240: Evacuating the Douling Empire (Please Subscribe)_1

The Hall Masters exchanged glances, as they too were witnessing Zang Xin's eruption of anger for the first time. They were at a loss for words in the moment...

But the act of covertly subverting the Tang Sect to poach its Soul Guidance Hall disciples had completely eroded any goodwill they might have had towards the Dou Ling Empire's Emperor...

The reason they chose to try and dissuade him was solely for the sake of the Tang Sect's future development!!

Otherwise... cutting off ties with the Dou Ling Empire wouldn't affect anyone at all!

Zang Xin then turned to Liang Xiaoyu, "Hall Master Liang, I'll leave this matter to you. I don't want the Tang Sect to have any contact with the Dou Ling Empire whatsoever. Additionally, instruct all members of the Tang Sect Branch to withdraw back to headquarters immediately!"

If they were to abandon the channels through which the Dou Ling Empire provided precious resources, then they must abandon them completely!

Liang Xiaoyu sighed internally, realizing that Zang Xin was truly resolute in giving up on the Dou Ling Empire!

His expression, however, remained calm as he replied, "Yes, Sect Leader! Should we inform the Young Sect Master about this?"

Zang Xin hesitated for a moment and then gestured with a wave of his hand, "There's no need to rush to tell him, that kid must be busy dealing with the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Master right now!"

The Tang Sect was different from Shrek Academy; the only powerhouses present were the four people in the room!

Otherwise, they would have sent several Elders from the Sea God Pavilion, just like Shrek Academy would have!

After pausing momentarily, he then addressed the other two Hall Masters, "Hall Master Guo and Hall Master Zhao, you two will denounce the Dou Ling Empire's despicable actions to the outside world! Show no mercy!"

"Sect Leader..."

Guo Xiaoxu and Zhao Song wanted to further persuade him, but faced with his firm resolve, they swallowed their objections…

"Is there a problem?"

In the end, the two of them chose to compromise...

Since they had decided to sever ties with the Dou Ling Empire, acquiring precious resources would now have to be done through third parties or by purchasing directly from the Xingluo Empire!"

Observing their demeanor, Zang Xin's tone softened somewhat, "The three of you, Hall Masters, I know you are concerned about the future of the Tang Sect, but that does not mean we should tolerate the Dou Ling Empire's disrespectful behavior!"

...

The next day!

Upon receiving the report, Emperor Xue Yuntian of the Douling Empire was astonished, "What? The Tang Sect has unilaterally declared the cessation of cooperation with our Dou Ling Empire and ceased all communications with us?"

The soldier kneeling on the ground began to sweat profusely from his forehead as he answered, "Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor. Not only that, but just this morning, all disciples of the Tang Sect Branch left, leaving behind nothing but empty buildings!"

Before Xue Yuntian could speak, one of his ministers expressed his concern, "Your Majesty, it seems we have deeply offended the Tang Sect to the point that they're willing to cut off all cooperation with us!"

Another minister sneered, "Hmph, if they don't want to cooperate, then so be it. Our Dou Ling Empire's soul tools are advancing rapidly; we don't need the Tang Sect's assistance!"

"Exactly, once the Tang Sect runs out of precious resources, they will naturally come back to us. There's no need to panic!"

"Once our Dou Ling Empire grows stronger, that insignificant Tang Sect won't even be worthy to associate with us!"

Xue Yuntian bellowed, "Silence, you fools!! All of you, shut up!!"

Instantly, the Ultimate Douluo standing by his side released a terrifying soul power fluctuation...

These ministers, none of whom were even Soul Masters, could not withstand such might and fell to their knees under the pressure!

Looking terrified, they pleaded, "Your Majesty, we beg your forgiveness!"

Xue Yuntian clenched his fists tightly, glaring at them, "Do you realize? Offending the Tang Sect means that no one will come to the aid of our Dou Ling Empire!!"

Originally, the Tang Sect had only agreed to teach soul tool technology because the Dou Ling Empire was too weak among the major empires!

Otherwise, no amount of resources would have been enough!

One of the ministers cautiously said, "But Your Majesty, wasn't this... this plan your idea?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a cold glint passed through the eyes of the Ultimate Douluo...

The next second, the former's body swelled up as if inflated, and exploded with a "bang"...

Blood drenched the ground, tinting it a deep crimson...

Only his head remained, eyes widened, not even realizing he was already dead!

The Ultimate Douluo merely glanced and said indifferently, "I do not wish to hear those words again!"

These Daijin no longer dared to speak, they could only kneel, trembling, not even daring to raise their heads...

Fearing they would be the next ones!

Xue Yuntian waved his hand, "Everyone, get out!!"

Seeing these Daijin only stirred up unexplained irritation in him...

The idea of luring Disciples of Tang Sect Soul Guidance Hall to the Douling Empire was indeed his own, but this was because the Tang Sect refused to divulge the process of assembling hidden weapons!

That greatly restricted the Douling Empire's ability to undertake research on their own!

The Ultimate Douluo looked towards Xue Yuntian and said gravely, "Your Majesty, you..."

Before he could finish, Xue Yuntian's eyes flickered, "If the Douling Empire wants to continue its development, it must collaborate with a major power. I've heard that there's been a change in the leadership of War God Hall, perhaps, this is a starting point!"

The former shook his head, "Your Majesty, I think the likelihood is very small. War God Hall itself doesn't have many Soul Masters, it's just that they are affiliated with the federation, so they can get technical support!"

Pausing for a moment, he added, "In other words, War God Hall not imposing a technology blockade on us is already quite good."

Xue Yuntian wasn't ready to give up yet, he said earnestly, "No matter what, we must try!!"

"If all else fails, then we'll just have to collaborate with the Holy Spirit Cult! If it comes to it, I, Xue Yuntian, will be the sinner of the Douling Empire!"

For the Douling Empire, he could sacrifice everything!!

...

Meanwhile, Tang Wulin, captain of the Blood Dragon Squad, found the Major General, Zhang Huanyun...

He reported, "Major General, according to the Blood Dragon Squad's search, no traces of other evil Soul Masters have been found!"

Zhang Huanyun expressed surprise, "Does that mean... the Blood God Army has no more pieces from the evil Soul Masters?"

No matter how you looked at it, it was unlikely that the Holy Spirit Cult had only planted two pawns!

Tang San shook his head, "No, perhaps there's a way to avoid detection by the Sea God's Light!"

The Sea God's Trident may be a Divine Artifact, but it's not absolute!

Zhang Huanyun propped his chin, pondering, "Well then, let's halt the search for now. Pick a few from the Blood Dragon Squad Z, and have them work with the Blood God Army soldiers to conduct a search within a few kilometers radius!"

"If possible, have the Shrek Seven Monsters join in as well!"

Tang Wulin immediately nodded, "No problem!!"

He believed his comrades from the Shrek Seven Monsters would definitely not refuse!

Zhang Huanyun stood up slowly, his gaze fixed on the other...

"Then, my final command, after this is over, Major Tang Wulin, you are to leave the Blood God Army for good!"

Tang Wulin's pupils contracted, his expression one of disbelief...

He could never have anticipated that such words would come from the other's mouth...
