Chapter 176: Xu Jing: There's Such a Good Thing?
A day later, Mingdu, Sun Moon Empire Imperial Palace Main Hall.
Dark Spirit Douluo Shen Kang knelt on one knee and said loudly, "Former Holy Spirit Church Worship, Dark Spirit Douluo Shen Kang, greets the Sun Moon Empire Emperor! I am willing to join the Sun Moon Empire and serve Your Majesty as a dog and horse."
Under the watchful eyes of the four powerful Imperial Palace Worships, Shen Kang respectfully looked at Xu Jing, who was sitting on the dragon throne.
Xu Jing stroked the Nine-level Peak spirit tool ring on his finger, his majestic eyes observing Shen Kang with interest, clearly quite curious about Shen Kang, this former Holy Spirit Church Worship.
The Nine-level Peak spirit tool ring in Xu Jing's hand was the controller for the high-energy compression array spirit tool in the Imperial Palace.
And the energy contained within a high-energy compression array spirit tool was equivalent to the combined spirit power of one hundred Titled Douluo. Whether used for attack or defense, its power was extremely astonishing.
Aside from Limit Douluo powerhouses, no one else could break through the defense of the high-energy compression array spirit tool.
Therefore, Xu Jing was very confident in his own safety and was not afraid of this Super Douluo named Shen Kang assassinating him.
If the Sun Moon Empire Emperor was really that easy to assassinate, then the Emperors of the Sun Moon Empire throughout history would have already died at the hands of experts from the Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy.
Shen Kang felt his hair stand on end under Xu Jing's gaze and thought to himself, "What is this old Emperor doing, just staring at me without saying anything."
Just as Shen Kang was grumbling about Xu Jing in his heart.
Xu Jing opened his mouth and asked, "Shen Kang, as a Worship of the Holy Spirit Church, why do you suddenly plan to join the Sun Moon Empire and serve Us?"
Shen Kang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Holy Spirit Church has decided to move the entire Sect to the Douluo Three Kingdoms. I am unwilling to associate with Evil Soul Masters and have come to seek refuge with an enlightened lord."
A glint of light flashed in Xu Jing's eyes: "Oh? The Holy Spirit Church is leaving the Sun Moon Empire?"
"Precisely." Shen Kang took out a scroll from his懷, "This is a list of the Holy Spirit Church's high-level members that I compiled, as well as the addresses of the Holy Spirit Church's branches in various cities, and a general list of resources they plan to take away.
If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send people to check the Holy Spirit Church's branches. These branches are already empty at this time.
All the Evil Soul Masters have returned to the Holy Spirit Church's headquarters and will be leaving the Sun Moon Empire soon."
The eunuch attendant standing beside Xu Jing walked to Shen Kang's side, took the scroll from his hand, and presented it to Xu Jing.
Xu Jing unfolded it and saw that the content was very detailed, and many parts matched the intelligence he had gathered, so he immediately believed half of it.
Xu Jing believed that the Holy Spirit Church moving to the Douluo Three Kingdoms was most likely true.
After all, this kind of thing cannot be faked. He just needs to send someone to check the Holy Spirit Church's branches later to confirm its authenticity.
Anyone with a brain wouldn't tell such a lie that could be exposed so easily, but he wouldn't let his guard down either. He would naturally send people to investigate later.
After Xu Jing finished reading the scroll, his mood suddenly became cheerful. He never thought there would be such a good thing in the world.
The Holy Spirit Church's relationship with his Sun Moon Empire was now broken. Their departure was a relief.
Moreover, if the Holy Spirit Church went to the Douluo Three Kingdoms, they would inevitably clash with Shrek Academy and the Douluo Three Kingdoms' royal family and various Sects.
With the two sides fighting like dogs, his Sun Moon Empire could reap the benefits.
If the Holy Spirit Church won, then the people of the Douluo Three Kingdoms would inevitably be in dire straits.
In the future, he would only need to send the righteous army of the Sun Moon Empire to eliminate the Holy Spirit Church and rescue the people of the Douluo Three Kingdoms.
Then the people of the Douluo Three Kingdoms would be extremely grateful to his Sun Moon Empire for saving them and would absolutely not resist the Sun Moon Empire's rule over them.
After all, ordinary people only needed to eat their fill, dress warmly, and have their lives guaranteed. They didn't care who ruled them.
Only those ruling classes who had lost their power, status, and resources would resist his Sun Moon Empire's rule. There weren't many of these stubborn elements anyway, so they could all be killed at that time.
In this way, his Sun Moon Empire could easily unify the entire continent.
If the Holy Spirit Church was defeated by Shrek Academy and the Douluo Three Kingdoms, then it would also be beneficial to him.
The Holy Spirit Church was powerful, with two Limit Douluo overseeing it. To resolve the Holy Spirit Church, there would inevitably be huge casualties, thereby weakening the forces of the Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy.
If his Sun Moon Empire launched an invasion at this time, it would definitely be able to defeat Shrek Academy and the Douluo Three Kingdoms' royal family more easily.
Of course, there was also a third scenario, which was that the Holy Spirit Church and the Douluo Three Kingdoms' royal family and Shrek Academy were evenly matched, unable to defeat each other. They could only compromise and get along amicably through gritted teeth...
This third scenario was the worst-case scenario. If his Sun Moon Empire launched a war at that time, the Holy Spirit Church and the Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy were very likely to unite and jointly resist his Sun Moon Empire.
Thinking of the above three scenarios, Xu Jing showed a pensive expression. After a moment, Xu Jing composed himself and turned to look at Shen Kang.
Xu Jing closed the scroll and said in a deep voice, "Shen Kang, you said you are unwilling to associate with Evil Soul Masters, but as We know, you have been in the Holy Spirit Church for no less than twenty years."
Shen Jing quickly said, "Your Majesty is unaware, I joined the Holy Spirit Church back then to repay Long Xiaoyao's guidance.
I myself am not an Evil Soul Master and do not need to kill and devour souls to advance my cultivation. Therefore, over the years, I have never participated in evil deeds and am different from those Evil Soul Masters whose crimes are too numerous to list.
Many Worships in the Holy Spirit Church are like me, not Evil Soul Masters, but joined the Holy Spirit Church for various reasons."
Upon hearing this news, Xu Jing couldn't help but be a little surprised. He really wasn't very clear about these matters.
He never expected that there were powerhouses in the Holy Spirit Church who were not Evil Soul Masters. His thoughts stirred for a moment, wondering if he could win these people over and have them join the Sun Moon Empire.
What the Holy Spirit Church could give, his Sun Moon Empire could also give, and would only give more, not less.
If these people could join the Holy Spirit Church, why couldn't they join his Sun Moon Empire?
Xu Jing looked at Shen Kang, and his mind had already begun to calculate how to utilize this former Holy Spirit Church Worship.
Xu Jing's usually majestic face unexpectedly showed a hint of a smile.
Xu Jing said with a smile, "Shen Kang, since you have abandoned darkness for light, Our Sun Moon Empire is naturally willing to accept you. We hereby appoint you as a Sun Moon Royal Worship, with the same treatment as a Nine-level Soul Instructor. Are you willing?"
Shen Kang bowed and said, "Your subject, thanks Your Majesty for your great favor!"
Xu Jing said gently, "Worship Shen, We ask you, are you willing to introduce a few more Holy Spirit Church Worships like yourself to serve in Our Sun Moon Empire?"
Looking at the gentle Xu Jing, Shen Kang only felt his scalp tingle.
He had just joined the Sun Moon Empire. How could he refuse? If he refused, this old Emperor would most likely be displeased with him, and how would he get by in the Sun Moon Empire in the future?
Shen Kang thought to himself, "Alas, it's not easy to get by in the Sun Moon Empire either!"
