Chapter 1261 Biological Weapons?
"General, I am terrified! The commander of this army must be the 'God of War,' the Grand Commander!"
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
Although Zhongli Wu said this, his face did not show much reluctance.
He was simply confirming with Xu Tianran whether his rights were as great as Ju Zi's.
Xu Tianran naturally understood this as well, and he also intended to let it go.
After all, Ju Zi had been fighting the Star Luo Empire for so long, yet he still hadn't conquered the entire territory, which was seriously wearing down his patience.
If it weren't for the intelligence reports frequently transmitted by the spy he had planted, he would have suspected that Orange wasn't interested in fighting and just wanted to beat up Duke White Tiger.
He only thought about Zhongli Wu's "request" for a moment before making a decision.
Let Zhongli Wu keep Ju Zi in check, so that the latter will feel a lot of urgency.
Let Orange know that he doesn't need her as his leader.
Who controls the army of the empire?
Upon hearing Xu Tianran's words, Zhongli Wu was overjoyed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
In his heart, however, he thought, "Xu Tianran, Xu Tianran, I'll tolerate you for now. Once I've completed my arrangements, you'll be my ghost general!"
After stabilizing Zhongliwu, Xu Tianran turned his attention to the abyssal creatures.
His gaze swept over the abyssal creatures as if scanning them, seemingly trying to determine the location of their weak electrical currents.
For Xu Tianran, even if he holds a sword in his hand, he must be clear about all the data of the sword, especially its weaknesses.
This is to ensure that if the enemy takes the sword, I will have no means of countermeasure.
"General, have these abyssal creatures been tested? What level of artillery fire can they withstand? What kind of soul tools can they resist?" Xu Tianran asked directly, his sharp eyes hidden in the faint shadows.
Zhongli Wu had already anticipated that Xu Tianran would definitely ask about the weaknesses of the abyssal creatures.
As it happened, he had already conducted many experiments beforehand, and immediately picked out one of the weaknesses of these abyssal creatures and revealed it.
Xu Tianran looked at Zhongli Wu's pale face and nodded slightly.
"I wonder how many abyssal creatures the General brought with him on this trip?"
"Your Majesty, the passage connecting the Abyss to Douluo is unstable. At most, it can only bring out three hundred medium-sized Abyss creatures at a time. Larger Abyss creatures require soul power to expand and tear open the spatial passage before they can arrive." Zhongli Wu had already prepared a reply in his mind.
Xu Tianran remained wary of Zhongli Wu, not believing that Zhongli Wu would tell him everything completely.
But there is a way. Doesn't Zhongliwu have something he wants right now?
"General, let's send men down to conduct experiments and tests first. If the results are good enough, this will be a surprise force!"
When Xu Tianran said this, the fervor in his eyes was completely undisguised.
"General, I've recently heard that the Holy Spirit Cult seems to be facing some problems?"
Zhongli Wu nodded, a perfectly measured expression of anger on his face.
He angrily declared, "I was merely momentarily careless and fell into the spatial passage! But this misfortune turned into a blessing in disguise! I found this wondrous abyssal creature for Your Majesty, but upon my return, my Holy Sect had been ravaged by internal strife among treacherous officials! It was utterly destroyed!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran laughed twice, "General, there's no need to worry! With me as your backer, why should you worry about such a lowly villain?"
Zhongli Wu was now very sincere. He knelt down on one knee again and said, "Your Majesty, I humbly beg you to grant me justice!"
In fact, he could easily clean up the rubbish of the Holy Spirit Cult on his own and continue to hold onto it.
However, that would inevitably have a significant impact on the overall strength of the Holy Spirit Cult.
Therefore, Zhongli Wu complained about his poverty to Xu Tianran, hoping that Xu Tianran would provide some resources.
After all, a significant portion of the Holy Spirit Cult's vast resources were consumed when he used them to communicate with the Abyss World.
It needs to be replenished quickly.
Xu Tianran was the easy target that Zhongli Wu had his eye on.
Xu Tianran saw through Zhongli Wu's little scheme very clearly.
However, in order to control the abyssal creatures, he did not care. He just gave Zhongli Wu a deep look, and then approved a sum of resources and hundreds of soul guide soldiers.
With Zhongli Wu's strength, capturing traitors of the Holy Spirit Cult would be a trivial matter.
With permission granted, Zhongliwu took away a large sum of resources based on the imperial edict.
Meanwhile, the offering hall was given an emergency order and began operating at high speed.
Upon receiving the notification, Jing Hongchen stepped into the laboratory with a blank expression.
However, the next moment, when he saw the abyssal creatures imprisoned in steel cages, his composure crumbled.
"What...what is this? A soul beast?"
Many of the offerings at the scene remained standing there, their faces showing disbelief.
An elder approached Jing Hongchen and said, "Master, it is said that this is a biological weapon, not a soul beast. His Majesty has ordered us to test the weaknesses of these creatures as soon as possible, and to determine what level of soul tool attacks they can withstand."
Jing Hongchen was stunned for a long time after hearing the words of the elder.
A less-than-pleasant word suddenly popped into his mind: biological weapon!
"But what if this triggers a beast tide?!" Jing Hongchen murmured.
The elder heard Jing Hongchen's mutterings, then calmly waved his hand, "Hall Master, don't be nervous. His Majesty said that you can handle these creatures as you please; it won't cause a riot in the Soul Beast Realm."
Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen's brows furrowed slightly.
Won't this creature cause an uproar in the world of soul beasts?
Could it be an evil spirit beast?
However, Jing Hongchen did not ask, because he observed that the surrounding elders did not know much either.
He had no choice but to take his tools and begin experimenting on this mysterious creature.
Firework shears, cutting machines, scattering shells—one by one, the power of these soul-guided devices gradually increases from ordinary to high-risk.
To Jing Hongchen's surprise, these abyssal creatures seemed oblivious, standing quietly without struggling.
Until its weakness was touched, it died. Its eyes closed, and it collapsed onto the experimental table, then dissipated into a stream of air, leaving not even a soul ring behind.
Jing Hongchen slowly put down the tools in his hand. His expression was serious, and a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.
This is not a soul beast.
The latest novel is first published here!
He didn't know where Xu Tianran had captured the strange creature, but placing it on the experimental table to test what level of soul tool it could withstand and to find its weaknesses all indicated that Xu Tianran intended to use this creature in the war!
Launch a fake beast tide!
Jing Hongchen turned his head and looked around, only to see the elders writing furiously, recording the data of the abyssal creature.
They didn't realize... no, it should be said that they simply didn't care how things were developing.
Jing Hongchen wiped his hands, and even though there was no blood on them, he felt as if his hands were covered in blood.
"Xu Tianran, where did you get that strange creature?" Jing Hongchen was eager to find the answer to this question.
However, now that he holds a high position, his every move is being watched by countless people.
You cannot make mistakes.
"Master, the experimental data is here." An elder in charge of recording handed over the soul-guided recorder.
Jing Hongchen took a look and then signed her name.
However, the documents being escorted were not kept by members of the Offering Hall, but by the secret guards who were directly connected to Xu Tianran.
This made Jing Hongchen even more determined in her mind.
He continued to stay in the Hall of Offerings, conducting biological experiments, until the first batch of abyssal creatures all died and dissipated into the air. After that, Jing Hongchen was invited to Xu Tianran's Council Hall.
"Master, I believe you must have quite a few questions after going through the entire experiment."
"Perfect, I'll answer your questions now, which will make your next task easier."
Xu Tianran looked at Jing Hongchen quietly, a gentle smile on his face.
Jing Hongchen, however, knelt on one knee first, saying, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask of you!"
Xu Tianran was slightly taken aback, then waved his hand to signal Jing Hongchen to continue.
"My grandson has taken a liking to Princess Zuo Jin, and I humbly request Your Majesty to grant him this marriage!"
Jing Hongchen knew that he had to leave this hall today, and he would definitely have to pay a price.
Given his position, he needed to surrender to Xu Tianran.
The best solution would be to temporarily align oneself with the Sun and Moon royal family, thus fulfilling Xu Tianran's previous suggestion.
Laughing at the world is the best choice; if we change it to Dreaming of the World, it won't be convincing enough.
"Grandson, I'm afraid you'll have to suffer." Jing Hongchen had no choice.
If Xu Tianran chooses Meng Hongchen, the situation will only get worse.
Jing Hongchen couldn't bear to watch his granddaughter fall into the devil's clutches.
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran first thought carefully about which member of the royal family was the Princess Zuo Jin mentioned by Jing Hongchen.
After recalling the princess who was pure-looking yet cunning and manipulative, Xu Tianran agreed to Jing Hongchen's request.
A member of the royal family with skill should be the knife in his hand, aimed at Jing Hongchen.
"I never expected that the young master of the Red Dust Hall would quietly win over a princess of the royal family. He truly is a worthy successor to the former master of the Red Dust Hall! I grant his permission!" Xu Tianran chuckled twice and issued an imperial decree.
Actually, he originally wanted to bring Meng Hongchen to his side.
However, since Jing Hongchen was so pragmatic, he decided to keep the idea to himself for the time being.
"Master of the Red Dust Hall, what are your thoughts after completing the mission of the Offering Hall?" Xu Tianran asked.
Jing Hongchen straightened his clothes and said, "Your Majesty, this is an extremely dangerous creature! Moreover, it is not a soul beast, and the way it died so silently is something I cannot understand."
Xu Tianran waved his hand; he already knew the experimental results and had already reviewed the experimental data.
"Does the sect leader think this creature can serve as a weapon or war beast?"
Jing Hongchen remained silent, then slowly nodded.
"Very good. Next, I want you to research methods to control these kinds of creatures!" (End of Chapter)
