Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 316 Xu Jiawei: A Dark Future

At this moment, in the Star Luo Imperial Palace.

The sky was as gray as lead, and large raindrops fell one after another, shattering and splashing on the ground. A breeze blew by, spreading coolness.

Xu Jiawei stood by the window with a melancholy expression, looking at the gray sky and listening to the pattering rain. He felt that the future of the Star Luo Empire was bleak and there was no hope in sight.

In his view, the fact that Xuanzi, as the strongest student at Shrek Academy, was captured in the Sun Moon Empire for attacking the Snow Demon Sect was undoubtedly a very unfavorable thing for the Star Luo Empire.

Shrek Academy is the number one Soul Master Academy on the continent, with great power and many strong individuals.

At the same time, Shrek Academy is also the biggest backer of the Star Luo Empire.

The Sun Moon Empire harbors wolfish ambitions. If it chooses to invade the Star Luo Empire, the Star Luo Empire, with its strength, will be utterly unable to contend with it.

Therefore, the Star Luo Empire would have to ask Shrek Academy for help in order to avoid being ruthlessly crushed by the Sun Moon Empire.

Although the Sun Moon Sect's top brass announced that Xuanzi was captured because of the attack on the Snow Demon Sect, Xu Jiawei believes that the authenticity of Xuanzi's attack on the Snow Demon Sect is questionable.

However, no matter what, Xuanzi is still a dignified level 98 Super Douluo, and when he burns his life flame, he can be compared to a Limit Douluo.

The fact that Xuanzi was captured is undeniable. He even began to suspect that the other party's strength might have come from taking pills, otherwise how could he have been captured in a place like the Sun Moon Empire?

"Brother, I see you have a furrowed brow and a pale face; you seem to be in a bad mood?"

Xu Jiujiu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but ask a question.

In her memory, although her elder brother had some flaws, he was a good person overall, so he was not usually like this with a gloomy face.

"Jiujiu, you must have heard about Xuanzi's capture. Now I'm wondering, where exactly is the way out for our Star Luo Empire?"

The power of the Sun Moon Empire is now beyond my imagination. Once they launch an attack, the Sea God Pavilion, without Xuanzi's support, will inevitably be greatly weakened and it will be difficult for them to help us gain an advantage in supporting the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

"At that time, I might even lead my subjects to surrender, becoming the first ruler in the history of the Star Luo Empire to lose his country, and be nailed to the pillar of shame."

As he spoke, Xu Jiawei sighed, a look of helplessness appearing on his face.

Xu Jiujiu, standing to the side, looked at Xu Jiawei and said with some helplessness, "Brother, who else can we rely on besides Shrek Academy?"
We can't rely on Dai Hao. Although he's a skilled warrior, his individual strength is nowhere near that of the level nine soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire.

"Dai Hao."

Upon hearing this name, Xu Jiawei's expression grew even more unpleasant: "According to the Sun Moon's higher-ups, Xuanzi was captured alive by Kong Deming and Huo Yuhao. I've never heard of the former; I guess he's a senior figure."

As for the latter, he is Dai Hao's son! Has Huo Yuhao's strength grown to the point where he can fight against Xuanzi, who is at the temporary Limit Douluo level? How old is he this year? This is too much of a genius. Even Tang San's ancestor could not fight against a Limit Douluo at this age!
Moreover, if Dai Hao hadn't neglected his family affairs for so many years, indirectly causing Huo Yuhao's mother's death, a genius like Huo Yuhao wouldn't have joined the Sun Moon Empire. Instead, he would have stayed in our Star Luo Empire and gradually grown into an enemy of the Sun Moon Empire.

The responsibility for all of this rests entirely with Dai Hao; he sowed the seeds of immense trouble for the Star Luo Empire.

The Duchess was also guilty, but since she was a member of the royal family and was now dead, he didn't bring it up or criticize her, after all, respect for the dead is paramount.

However, at this moment, he felt a pent-up anger inside him that he wanted to release. He and Dai Hao were indeed good brothers, but the other party's actions had caused some cracks in their friendship.

Furthermore, the recent death of the Duchess further worsened Xu Jiawei's mood, and his contact with Dai Hao weakened. He even felt that if war broke out in the future, Dai Hao might not be able to defend the border between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire.

At that time, it will be the Star Luo Empire's nightmare.

Seeing this, Xu Jiujiu replied, "Brother, stop worrying about Dai Hao. We should focus on the future."

Even if you criticize Dai Hao fiercely in front of him, you cannot change what has happened in the past.

I believe that Shrek Academy might give up on ordinary students, but it would never give up on a level 98 Super Douluo like Xuanzi.

After all, a power like Shrek Academy has a great need for strong individuals, and cultivating such a strong individual is extremely difficult.

Therefore, Xuanzi will definitely return to Shrek City with the help of Shrek Academy.

Now that we've chosen Shrek Academy, we can actually engage in more exchanges of benefits with them.

Xu Jiawei was somewhat unwilling. He didn't want to tie himself to Shrek Academy, after all, Shrek Academy's decline was already evident.

However, Xu Jiawei currently has no good way to find a new backer.

Driven by the need to resist the Sun Moon Empire, he had no choice but to nod and say, "Alright."

After a brief silence, he slowly said, "By the way, Jiu Jiu, go and make arrangements to find some people to go to sea."

Remember, keep this a secret. Don't let anyone unrelated find out about it.

"Go to sea?" Xu Jiujiu was puzzled, not understanding the meaning behind Xu Jiawei's words.

Xu Jiawei patiently explained to Xu Jiujiu, "Yes, since the Sun Moon Continent can drift here and merge with the Douluo Continent, it means that there are very likely other continents in this world."

If we can find other continents, then we will no longer need to worry about the safety of the Star Luo Empire.

If we really can't defeat the Sun Moon Empire, we still have a way out.

Xu Jiujiu nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty's insight is brilliant. I will immediately arrange for people to set sail and see if there are any other continents in this world."

Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

Huo Yuhao stared blankly at the messenger, who was dressed in a black robe. After finishing what he needed to say, the messenger turned and left, leaving only his back view.

Just now, Huo Yuhao learned that this person was arranged by Xu Tianran to come and announce the so-called reward to him.

His mind raced. "So, I'm now the so-called Earl of Spirit Eyes. I've become a great noble? Hmm, a great noble without a fiefdom doesn't get the benefits it brings."

"I can only use my status to infiltrate high-ranking noble circles, get closer to others, and thus further expand the influence of the Spirit Pagoda."

"Alright, we'll examine this matter more carefully later. Let's deal with Xuanzi's problem first. After all, I need Xuanzi to confess his crimes and drag Shrek Academy down with him."
