Thus, Tang Wulin left his soul communication number with Chen Xinjie before departing. Chen Xinjie looked on at his departing figure, and a faint smile appeared on his face. ”This is certainly no ordinary kid! Looks like I'll have to get the military to approve of my proposal even earlier now.”

He pulled out his soul communicator as he spoke before dialing a number.

”It's Chen Xinjie. I'm calling regarding the sixth clause of my proposal. The Blood G.o.d Legion is given so much financial support by the military every year, so why can't they be officially included as part of the military? At the very least, I would like to strongly reiterate my suggestion for members of their legion to engage in periodic exchanges with members of our Sea G.o.d Legion. Of course, only the elite of the elite serve at the Blood G.o.d Legion, so those sent to their legion from our Sea G.o.d Legion as part of the exchange program will also be the best that we have to offer.”

Tang Wulin returned directly to the Tang Sect. Even though they had successfully dealt a heavy blow to the Holy Spirit Cult today, they still hadn't completed their objective. Just what was that sly old Chen Xinjie thinking?

Was war really imminent?

Their successful operation against the Holy Spirit Cult had already proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the Holy Spirit Cult had been plotting something in Skysea City. So many powerful beings from the Holy Spirit Cult had been sent here, including even two of their heavenly monarchs, so it would simply be unreasonable to a.s.sume that they had nothing to do with the recent attack.

As such, everyone had already returned. They were all living in the same hotel, and of course, this was a hotel that belonged to the Tang Sect.

Zang Xin was absent, so he was most likely taking care of the matters surrounding the Dark Phoenix Douluo. Meanwhile, Ye Xinglan and Yuanen Yehui had resumed working on everyone's suits of three-word battle.

”What's the situation like, Boss?” Xie Xie asked. He was the only one with Tang Wulin as everyone else had gone back to rest or were helping Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xing in their battle armor construction.

This was a splendid victory, and it was also their first victory against the Holy Spirit Cult.

Tang Wulin replied, ”The military refrained from giving a definite verdict, citing insufficient evidence, so we can only continue to wait and observe.”

”This STILL isn't enough evidence for them?” Xie Xie's voice immediately sprang up a few octaves.

Tang Wulin shot a glance at him. ”Quiet down! Are you afraid that people won't be able to hear you? The military has always been in support of going to war, and it's virtually impossible that no one from the military has partic.i.p.ated, either directly or indirectly, in this attack. As the representative of the Eagle Faction and one of the most powerful figures in the military, his verdict will be extremely important. The fact that he's willfully turning a blind eye to this irrefutable evidence suggests that a war really is imminent.”

”Not necessarily.” A voice suddenly sounded from outside, and Zang Xin opened the door before striding into the room.

Only a powerful Limit Douluo like him would be able to overhear their conversation even after Tang Wulin had used his soul power to seal off the room.

”Oh? What do you think, then, Your Majesty?” Tang Wulin asked.

Zang Xin smiled, and said, ”That old geezer, Chen Xinjie, is only putting on an act. He knows full well who was behind this attack, and he doesn't hate the Holy Spirit Cult any less than we do.”

Tang Wulin faltered slightly upon hearing this. ”Does the Boundless Ocean Douluo also have a vendetta against the Holy Spirit Cult?”

Zang Xin nodded in response. ”Chen Xinjie has never married in his life as he once fell in love with a woman during his younger days. The two of them entered a relations.h.i.+p, but it didn't work out in the end due to some misunderstandings, and the fact that both of them were two stubborn and unyielding. However, from his decision not to marry, one can tell that he still hasn't forgotten her, and that woman never married, either. Despite this, they were both too stubborn and prideful to resolve their differences, and in the end, the woman perished at the hands of the Holy Spirit Cult. At the very least, that's what he thinks to be the case, so how could he not hate the Holy Spirit Cult?”

Tang Wulin was quite surprised to hear this. ”Is that so? This Boundless Ocean Douluo is clearly very old, so his lover from back then should also be quite old; has their relations.h.i.+p not been diluted?”

Zang Xin replied, ”Love is something you never forget, especially when one falls in love at a young age, and both of them are the type of people who will only love a single person in their lives. When his lover pa.s.sed away, Chen Xinjie had flown into a thunderous rage and vowed to destroy the Holy Spirit Cult. This is not known to many people, but someone from our Tang Sect just so happened to hear about it. Following the event, he had even visited the original site of Shrek City to mourn his lover's pa.s.sing.”

Tang Wulin said, ”But from our communication today, he seems to still be in support of a war, and this doesn't conflict with his hatred of the Holy Spirit Cult. Perhaps we should hand the Dark Phoenix Douluo over to him?”

Zang Xin shook his head in response. ”No. The Dark Phoenix Douluo is going to be very important to us; more specifically, for our trip to the other two continents, so we can't hand her over to him. We've already proven that powerful members of the Holy Spirit Cult had infiltrated Skysea City en ma.s.se, so what we have to do now is to convince Chen Xinjie.”
