"What!!"
Upon seeing this, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan were all instantly shocked, finding it hard to believe.
"How can this be!"
"The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Nine Heavens Begonia Sect, and the Clear Sky Hammer Tang Family are clearly all great Sects and families that hold high status and power in the Sun Moon Empire, and have enjoyed many benefits."
"Why would they collude with Evil Spirit Masters and betray the Sun Moon Empire?"
"Don't they fear that by doing this, the Evil Spirit Masters will grow too powerful to control, putting them in danger as well?"
Hu Liena murmured in disbelief.
She completely failed to understand the logic of people like Ning Tianchou, Ye Shouxuan, and Tang Qijie.
But at this moment, Qian Renxue spoke up, saying calmly.
"Interest! It's all for interest!"
"Forces like the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Nine Heavens Begonia Sect, and the Clear Sky Hammer Tang Family feel that the Sun Moon Imperial Family is blocking their path to wealth, preventing them from making more money."
"Therefore, they betrayed the Sun Moon Empire to the Evil Spirit Masters, attempting to eliminate the Sun Moon Imperial Family and tear away the sky that is pressing down on them!"
"As for what happens later, that's not something they want to think about."
"Or rather, they've already planned what to do in the future—nothing more than replacing the Sun Moon Imperial Family and together exploiting the common people of the Sun Moon Empire!"
[Secretly, I have been watching all of this happen, feeling somewhat conflicted.]
[Because all of this once again confirms my previous thoughts: since the birth of currency, capital has actually begun to sprout.]
[And in this current era, capital has officially taken the stage.]
[The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School can be said to represent auction capital, the Nine Heavens Begonia Sect represents medical capital, and the Clear Sky Sect Tang Family represents arms capital.]
[In the eyes of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, the existence of the Sun Moon Imperial Family hinders them from auctioning all kinds of illegal, highly profitable items, such as: slaves!]
[In the eyes of the Nine Heavens Begonia Sect, they wish they could charge exorbitant medical fees, making everyone on the continent work just to pay for their treatments.]
[In the future, they might even be so greedy that they actively spread plagues to force people to come for treatment, taking the opportunity to charge high medical fees.]
[Though it might not reach that point all at once, human greed will definitely lead the Nine Heart Begonia Sect in that direction step by step.]
[As for the Clear Sky Hammer Tang Family, their interests were damaged by soul tool technology; they wish all soul tool technology would disappear immediately so that the weapons they forge can once again become popular across the continent, earning them high profits.]
[Everything is for interest!]
[In my past life, that great man's words were indeed correct: 'Whether one is close or not depends on their class!']
[Whether it's Evil Spirit Masters, pirates, or bandits, they are all just appearances.]
[In the final analysis, everything is just a struggle for interest.]
[It is a struggle between a system that views the world as private property but also indirectly stands on the side of the commoners—a public ownership, or rather, a royal ownership economy—and the capital interest groups that have reached the peak of the private ownership economy.]
[This is an inevitability of human nature!]
[But to this, I only feel it's somewhat laughable.]
[Because I don't believe that forces like the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Nine Heavens Begonia Sect, and the Clear Sky Hammer Tang Family, by inviting the wolf into the house and using Evil Spirit Masters to destroy the Sun Moon Imperial Family and the Sun Moon Empire, will not suffer a backlash.]
[Do you really think you can control everything?]
[The most foolish idea of capital is thinking that money and interest can solve everything.]
[But sometimes, the hungry wolves and the knife hilts you drive have their own thoughts; they won't truly be completely under your control.]
[You think of 'killing the hound once the rabbit is caught.']
[But can't you imagine that the hungry wolves and knife hilts you drive would think the same?]
["For His Majesty, kill!"]
[Although the Evil Spirit Master army and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Nine Heavens Begonia Sect, and Clear Sky Hammer Tang Family have merged, the Emperor was also fully prepared for this operation, bringing no small amount of power.]
[Even though he also sent two armies to attack the Evil Spirit Master headquarters.]
[But the Sun Moon Imperial Family has bestowed favors upon the vast number of commoners and commoner Spirit Masters for thousands of years, recruiting countless powerful commoner Spirit Masters; the top-tier experts they've cultivated are as numerous as trees in a forest.]
["Mountain Dragon Heavenly Sovereign Li Dingshan, you're actually not dead!"]
[When the Titled Heavenly Sovereigns of the Evil Spirit Master army, along with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Nine Heavens Begonia Sect, and Clear Sky Hammer Tang Family, charged toward the Emperor together, besides the experts on the surface of the Sun Moon Imperial Family, many experts who had disappeared for years suddenly appeared.]
[This left Ning Tianchou shocked and furious.]
["You rebellious subjects! Even if you die and your bones rot, I, Li Dingshan, will not die!"]
[Mountain Dragon Heavenly Sovereign Li Dingshan sneered with full mockery and disdain, saying.]
["I, Li Dingshan, come from humble beginnings and am a crude man, but I also know national righteousness, and I know honor and shame. You come from noble and wealthy families, yet you betray your country and collude with Evil Spirit Masters!"]
["You rebellious subjects, everyone has the right to execute you!"]
["If you want to harm His Majesty, step over Li Dingshan's corpse first!"]
[A group of commoner Spirit Master experts like Li Dingshan, who had disappeared for years and were thought by the outside world to have fallen, appeared one after another.]
[Together with the Sun Moon Imperial Family's surface experts, they charged toward the Evil Spirit Titled Heavenly Sovereigns in the Evil Spirit Master army, as well as the Titled Heavenly Sovereigns of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Nine Heavens Begonia Sect, and Clear Sky Hammer Tang Family.]
[For a time, the side of the Evil Spirit Masters and traitors quickly retreated in defeat.]
[After all, commoner Spirit Master experts have no family protection; to be able to stand out and become famous across the continent, they have undergone untold amounts of effort and tempering. Their combat power is much stronger than experts of the same level on the side of the Evil Spirit Masters and traitors.]
[But just then, a cold snort came from the rear of the Evil Spirit Master army.]
["Truly useless, we still have to step in!"]
[In an instant, streaks of light rose into the sky again, stepping into the air. They were a group of figures dressed in various clothes, their styles and attire completely different from those of the Douluo Continent.]
[These people gave a furious shout and instantly summoned their Spirits.]
[Amidst a chorus of beast roars and bird cries, powerful Spirits emerged one after another.]
[The Spirits of these experts were extremely powerful, including the Blood Prison Dragon Eagle, Green-faced Demon Lion, White Jade Giant Elephant, and Azure Python Bull, as well as the Holy Light Sky Dragon Horse and other powerful top-tier Beast Spirits, along with top-tier Tool Spirits.]
[After the Spirit Possession, nine spirit rings rose from beneath their feet one by one, encircling their bodies.]
"Do we have the inheritance of these top-tier Beast Spirits on our Douluo Continent?"
Seeing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, finding it quite incredible.
"How did these top-tier Spirits suddenly pop up, and their cultivation has even reached the level of Titled Douluo experts?"
"The waters of the Sun Moon Empire ten thousand years ago are simply too deep!"
He didn't expect that the Emperor and the Sun Moon Empire's side had originally pulled things back.
Seeing that they wouldn't even have to wait for the reinforcements to return before they could kill all the Evil Spirit Master army and the traitors from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Nine Heavens Begonia Sect, and Clear Sky Hammer Tang Family.
He didn't expect another group of hidden experts to suddenly jump out.
This made Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, as well as Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, and the others even more unable to resist wanting to know what would happen next.
