Chapter 1157 Just as I, Ye, expected
Kong Deming changed his story to "someone is manipulating and driving unknown creatures" in order to test Xu Tianran's thoughts.
Let's see if Xu Tianran really has the dangerous idea of recruiting abyssal creatures for his own use, just as Ye Nanxiao said.
When he heard Xu Tianran's reply, his heart skipped a beat.
A fierce glint flashed across Xu Tianran's strangely pale face.
"Great Elder, since someone is researching this method of manipulating creatures, could we capture them, take over this technology, and use soul beasts to replace our soldiers in the charge?"
"After all, it's a beast; once it dies, it's dead."
Kong Deming's expression became more solemn, but this did not mean that he thought it was cruel; he was not a member of the Soul Beast Sect.
His concern was that Xu Tianran, after only hearing about the biological weapon he had switched and disguised, already felt that he wanted to get his hands on the technology.
What if he really revealed the Abyss World?
After much deliberation, Kong Deming continued, "Your Majesty, if we acquire this evil technology, how are we any different from those evil spirit masters?"
In this world, animals are divided into spirit beasts and poultry, and many sects do indeed tame spirit beasts, such as Shrek Academy, the Dai family, the Zhu family, and so on.
However, in the history of the mainland, there have been several tragic incidents involving the creation of biological weapons from spirit beasts.
In fact, battles with spirit beasts are not unheard of, but the large-scale production of biological weapons is an artificial beast tide, which will not only provoke the anger of the spirit beasts, but will also be unacceptable to humans.
If things go wrong, it could trigger a real beast tide that crashes into human cities.
But the ones who truly suffer are often the innocent cities.
Kong Deming was fairly familiar with the history of the mainland. The Sun and Moon royal family all had a requirement to understand the history of the mainland, and Xu Tianran was naturally aware of it as well.
But he still has ideas about biological weapons.
"Great Master, this is war. Every minute and every second, our soldiers may die. Aren't their lives more precious than these beasts?" Xu Tianran smiled.
"But Your Majesty, if we confront the person behind the control of the soul beasts, who will unleash a reckless soul beast tide, our losses could be even greater! Furthermore, this will not only provoke the wrath of the soul beasts, but also…"
Moreover, the Abyss is a world where people are eaten; it is a world of evil creatures that evolve by devouring, and everything is a target to them.
But when Kong Deming saw Xu Tianran's sharp eyes, he slowly shut his mouth. He understood that he didn't need to say anything more.
When he chose to use a fallacy of equivocation, he already believed in his heart that Xu Tianran would definitely find a way to capture the abyssal creatures and use them for his own purposes.
But he still had hope that Xu Tianran would scoff at these evil methods.
But his expectations were too high.
Xu Tianran has already cooperated with the Holy Spirit Cult, so what bottom line could he possibly have?
He wants all the power that can be used by him, and he will consider everything else only after he has unified the continent.
Seeing that Kong Deming had stopped lecturing, Xu Tianran narrowed his eyes slightly. "Grand Elder, it seems you have understood. How about I leave this matter to you? That person had better know what's good for him. If he doesn't, I'll just lose some soul-guided cannonballs."
Kong Deming's expression had returned to calm.
The argument is pointless now.
"Your subject will do his utmost."
After saying this, Kong Deming turned away in disappointment and walked slowly and heavily toward the gate of the main hall.
His figure was filled with loneliness.
The late emperor, I have never been a competent teacher.
Kong Deming would never consider subduing or making the creatures of the abyss his own.
He could only try to find a way to deal with the Abyss World through Ye Nanxiao's intervention.
Xu Tianran no longer trusted him much, but he still had some influence.
He returned to the laboratory.
"Actually, there's nothing to be sad about, old man Kong. This isn't the first time you've met Xu Tianran," said Xiao Ye No. 1, a statement that wasn't exactly comforting.
"You brat, are you deliberately trying to mislead me?" Kong Deming glared at Xiao Ye No. 1 with displeasure.
Why did he feel that this kid understood Xu Tianran better than he did?
Although he had watched Xu Tianran grow up, in reality, as the chief priest of the offering hall, it was already quite good that he could squeeze out time to teach Xu Tianran.
As for other knowledge, it was all taught by the great scholars in the court.
So in reality, the person Kong Deming knew and was familiar with was Xu Tianran from his memory.
This is also why, even after learning about all of Xu Tianran's actions, he still couldn't bring himself to bring out the King-Beating Whip.
But Xiao Ye No. 1 is different. He learns about Xu Tianran through Ye Nanxiao's memories of Blue Star, which is to understand him from the perspective of the protagonist's opposite side.
"Guide you? Guide you to do what? Kill Xu Tianran?" Xiao Ye No. 1 looked disgusted.
You need to subtly guide Kong Deming so that he can kill Xu Tianran when you are captured.
Kong Deming glanced at Xiao Ye No. 1 but did not answer the question.
"Aside from the combat zone, do abyssal creatures appear in other places?"
"Yes, space is a paradox. Wherever space is unstable, spatial rifts will appear and then develop into spatial fissures."
Kong Deming walked to his workbench, stood still, placed his hands on the surface of the table, and closed his eyes.
Xiao Ye No. 1 was naturally happy that Kong Deming didn't bother him and went about his work on his own.
He has already accumulated knowledge of the production process of no less than ten level-nine peak soul tools since he came here. A little more, a little more.
He needs to hurry.
Although it is unknown why the main body encountered abyssal creatures, since abyssal creatures have appeared, it is necessary to hurry up and make some big ones.
Otherwise, it's easy to feel insecure.
At the foot of a mountain somewhere in the Douling Empire, there is a building that resembles a water fortress.
There are two guards at the entrance of the water village, and a large river flows nearby.
Strangely, in front of the village gate that connects to the river, there are two huge black and red tortoise stone statues.
The stone turtle statue also features a faint water mist carving, making it appear as if the turtle is riding the water mist. The turtle has four sturdy legs with four claws, a bird's head and a snake's tail, and elephant teeth in its mouth.
This strange tortoise-shaped stone statue indicates the identity of this water village.
The Xuan Turtle Statue, Xuanming Sect.
The interior of the water fortress is constructed from special water-friendly minerals.
Suddenly, a figure in black robes emerged from the river and quietly landed at the entrance of the water fortress.
The latest novel is first published here!
"I have urgent news to report to the sect leader!" The person who came was Xu Lin, who returned with news from Xu Sanshi.
The Xuanming Sect members guarding the gate recognized him and opened the gate.
Xu Lin used his soul power to evaporate the moisture on his body, and then transformed into a black shadow and rushed into the water village again.
The water village is very large, nestled against a mountain.
Xu Lin, holding the sect leader's token, proceeded unimpeded.
"What's making you so flustered?"
An aged voice rang out, causing Xu Lin to abruptly stop in his tracks.
A thin, elderly man with eyebrows that reached past his chest stood shakily in front of Xu Lin.
Xu Lin didn't know when the old man appeared, but he knew he couldn't possibly track him down.
That was one of the two guardian deities of the Xuanming Sect.
"Reporting to the Grand Elder, I've come to report on the young master's situation!" Xu Lin said respectfully.
Xu Yuankong, the current Grand Elder of the Xuanming Sect, raised an eyebrow after hearing Xu Lin's answer and asked, "Any news about Little Stone? So many years have passed and he hasn't even come back to see this old man! Unacceptable!"
Facing Xu Yuankong, Xu Lin dared not hide anything and said, "Young Master wants to be a high-ranking official! A very high-ranking official in the Douling Empire!"
Xu Lin lowered his voice and said, "People are still instinctively cautious about these kinds of things."
"A high-ranking official, huh? Go for it. With the resources of my Xuanming Sect, we can choose anyone below the prime minister..."
"Wait a minute, what kind of high-ranking official did Little Stone want to be?"
Xu Lin pointed vaguely to the sky.
Xu Yuankong was stunned for two or three seconds, then a sharp light flashed in his dim old eyes.
"good!"
A loud shout shook the entire water village.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Lin felt himself being lifted up, and then put down again in less than two seconds.
He blinked, and his sect leader appeared before him, looking helpless.
Because Xu Yuankong lifted him up with his other hand.
The two grown men were held in Xu Yuankong's hands like little chicks, and then tossed onto the sofa like pillows.
"Stop writing documents! Your son has finally developed lofty ambitions! Good news! Incredibly good news! May the Xuanming Sect be blessed!"
Xu Yi reluctantly put down the pen he hadn't yet placed on his desk, exchanged a glance with Xu Lin, and his eyes revealed a questioning look.
Xu Lin nodded firmly and proudly, "The young master has finally awakened!"
"Don't just stand there! Summon all the elders, guest elders, and outer sect retainers! All disciples, get ready! This time, we'll tear down those bastards' halls!" Xu Yuankong unleashed a series of powerful auras, quickly turning Xu Yi's office into a mess.
Xu Yi sighed softly, feeling sorry for his office for a second, before his eyes suddenly sharpened.
He, as the father, knew very well what his youngest son was like.
That's a guy who likes to chase girls but doesn't know how, and has resources but doesn't know how to use them—a complete emotional idiot.
Has he suddenly awakened?
Something must have happened.
Xu Lin produced the intelligence he had recorded and a simple letter from Xu Sanshi at just the right moment.
Xu Yi took it and glanced at Xu Sanshi's illegible handwritten letter. The gist of it was that he had seen a group of very pitiful children, rescued them, and offended the entire bureaucratic system of the Douling Empire.
The other letter contained intelligence gathered by Xu Lin. His youngest son had joined an organization whose members seemed to be the famous Seven Devils trainees from Shrek Academy. The organization was equipped with extremely advanced and superior equipment and had a large number of skilled fighters. It was initially judged that attacking a large city would not be a problem.
"Elder, don't rush. Let me ask Xun'er if she knows about this," Xu Yi said. From the sect leader's perspective, this was a safe approach.
"What are you asking for! Don't think I don't know you've been secretly exchanging letters and meeting up. Hurry up! I want to see Little Stone bring honor to his ancestors!"
