Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Group.
Sun Moon Empire Hall of Enshrinement.
These two are very special.
The former is a thousand-strong army. Although the number of soldiers seems small, each soldier is at least a Level 5 Soul Guide. It can be called the number one army in the entire continent and only obeys the orders of the Sun Moon Emperor.
The latter is the most powerful force in the Sun Moon Empire. Each of its worshippers is a Ninth-Level Soul Engineer. Kong Deming, who oversees the Hall of Enshrinement, not only possesses royal blood but is also hailed as the closest being to a Level 10 Soul Master, making him virtually unparalleled in the world. Soul Guide's first person.
Their loyalty to the Empire and the Emperor goes without saying.
Approaching either of them rashly, whether to avoid suspicion or for some other reason, is likely to fail. But they are, after all, human and cannot avoid social interactions. Moreover, An Zhen's requirements are lower; just a one-on-one meeting is enough.
" Xu Tianyuan, try to contact the Hall of Enshrinement's enshriner and the two vice-leaders of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Group. Ignore Kong Deming for now, and try to get a private meeting with them."
" Xu Guozhong, take me to visit some of Empire's senior officials."
An Zhen, seated at the head of the table, issued orders.
Dark eyes gazed out of the palace at the earth, which was already tinged with a yellowish hue by the setting sun.
"I hope they can all become your colleagues by this time tomorrow."
"Yes." X2
Xu Tianyuan left the Imperial Dragon Soul Guided Weapon Legion first. High in the sky, an invisible spatial fluctuation followed him silently, sharp dragon claws sliding through space.
An Zhen looked at the remaining Ninth-Level Soul Engineer, Xu Tianming, with a calm and cold expression. "From now on, the Imperial Dragon Soul Guided Weapon Legion can only be entered, not left. If I sense anyone leaving or feel any betrayal in your hearts, I guarantee your fate will be worse than if your souls fell into the hands of an Evil Soul Master."
Although a master-servant contract had been established, making everything seem foolproof, An Zhen, just like when he sent out Di Tian, didn't want any unexpected events to occur.
"Yes." X n
Loyalty is precious, but life is even more valuable.
Even if a few passionate young men felt an indomitable spirit, they were met with fierce glares from their elders.
An Zhen left with Xu Guozhong to visit those high-ranking officials.
Although it's a bit strange to visit at this time, it's just a brief meeting. Who would have thought that a single meeting could enslave someone? Often, such a short time isn't even enough to discuss a single matter.
The Sun Moon Empire's structure has some elements of a feudal system. However, with the royal family's power so strong now, the strength of those nobles who own their own territories has been greatly weakened. They are generally just underlings who cheer on their cause. Once the main body of the Empire is taken over, the remaining minor figures can't cause any trouble.
Today happens to be a day off, and tomorrow is a workday when officials need to attend court meetings. At this time, the vast majority of officials are at home.
An Zhen only needed to visit a few people to confirm the stability going forward. He had always been a cautious person; the more traces he left behind, the easier it would be to be exposed.
Faced with this prince's visit, although he was of the previous dynasty's bloodline, he was deeply favored by the current emperor, and no official would refuse him without giving him face.
Then, they fell into the trap.
A Level 7 Soul Guide.
An Eight-Ring Soul Instructor.
Another level eight, uh, level seven Soul Guide, only with Spirit Douluo cultivation, and it's mostly inflated, built up with drugs, the kind with no future.
However, the quality of officials in the Sun Moon Empire was still very high.
Although it's not a high-martial-arts world, it's still a fantasy world with extraordinary abilities. Without martial prowess, one couldn't have reached such a high position. Although they were like ants in Electrolux's hands, each of them had defeated countless others to earn their place, making them true pillars of the nation.
Inside an imposing mansion, an elderly man with white hair stood motionless, his face ashen. He possessed an extraordinary air about him, and his weathered eyes were filled with majesty. His red robe shone with an extraordinary brilliance. He was none other than the Prime Minister of the Sun Moon Empire.
"As always, be a good prime minister on that old man's last day," An Zhen ordered the master-servant contract.
A total of seven high-ranking officials were arrested.
"Greetings, Your Highness." A dark figure silently emerged from the night; it was Xu Tianyuan. He had found An Zhen through the bond of their master-servant contract.
Upon seeing the figures of An Zhen bowing in submission, the Prime Minister of the Sun Moon Empire, though unaware of the specifics of what had transpired, closed his eyes in despair. Even the leader of the Imperial Dragon Soul Guided Weapon Legion was like this, and then there was Xu Guozhong; even in the best-case scenario, with only these two present, it would still bring immense turmoil to the Empire, or even worse…
An Zhen glanced at the Prime Minister, who was loyal to the Empire, and then ignored him. He was destined to become the Sea God Pavilion Master, while also overseeing the Shrek Academy. The important position of Prime Minister of the Sun Moon Empire would definitely be entrusted to someone he could trust, such as his grandfather.
"Your Highness," Xu Tianyuan said, "I invited the two vice-leaders of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Corps to the Imperial Dragon Soul Guided Weapon Legion's base under the pretext of exchanging rare metals for Ninth-Level Soul Engineers to help research and develop a spirit tool."
"Well done."
An Zhen and his group returned to the Imperial Dragon Soul Guided Weapon Legion's base under the cover of night.
For Ninth-Level Soul Engineers, day or night makes no difference, except for those whose spirit tools have special requirements in this regard. No one knows when inspiration will strike, so Xu Tianyuan's request at night did not raise any alarm.
After all, who could have imagined that Xu Tianyuan, who commanded the Imperial Dragon Soul Guided Weapon Legion, had already submitted to someone else?
Those who possess immense strength and hold extremely high positions are practically devoid of fools.
The reason they were so easily fooled is because the method was so unbelievable; it was practically a dimensional attack, something never before seen. What seemed like a perfectly ordinary action could have such consequences. Unless one possessed the ability to foresee the future, who could escape such a calculated scheme?
Return to Imperial Dragon Soul Guided Weapon Legion.
Because there were two people who came.
Xu Tianyuan then instructed his "personal guard" An Zhen, with his warrant, to take one of them to the supply warehouse to retrieve the agreed-upon rare metal, thus successfully separating the two.
Then defeat them one by one.
"The matter is settled, let's face reality." An Zhen said, looking at the two Ninth-Level Soul Engineers beside him. As the vice-leaders of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Corps, who were directly under the Emperor's orders, the two were very loyal and hoped that Kong Deming, who was nominally the leader, could save them.
"Anyway, your emperor is about to step down."
"Someone come here." An Zhen summoned someone and ordered them to take the two of them away, pretending to be conducting research. After all, this was something they had agreed upon publicly. Once the overall situation was settled, the unwilling guy would give up. If it still didn't work out in the end, then so be it; there was a master-servant contract between them anyway.
"Almost half done." An Zhen gently rubbed his temples. Including Grandpa, there were a total of nine Ninth-Level Soul Engineers. Thankfully, Electrolux- teacher recovered quite well thanks to the effects of Virtual World and the Gold of Life.
