DD2—Chapter 210: Reaction After the Event
Xu Jiawei forced a smile: "Elder Zhao, do you think Star Luo Empire still has a chance to continue cooperating with the Body Sect?
Although there was a mistake in the intelligence this time, it was not my intention. Someone must have played tricks to cause this result."
In any case, the Body Sect is an extremely powerful force that needs to be won over. Xu Jiawei honestly hopes the Body Sect will continue cooperating with the Star Luo Empire.
Elder Zhao shook his head: "Xu Jiawei, the sect master's distrust of your Star Luo Empire's intelligence has reached its peak.
I suggest you check the intelligence agencies within the empire as soon as possible to see what exactly went wrong."
After saying that, Elder Zhao left quickly.
Xu Jiawei looked at Elder Zhao's back helplessly until he disappeared from the palace.
Xu Jiujiu, who was standing nearby, came over and asked, "Brother, why did our intelligence go wrong? I see Elder Zhao's face is not good; it doesn't look like he is deliberately deceiving us."
Xu Jiawei sighed: "Jiujiu, you also know that I have a connection with a ninth-level soul engineer of the Sun Moon Empire. Whether it's the God Sealing Altar, the 100,000-year soul beast embryo, or some of the soul guidance technology of the Sun Moon Empire, they're all provided by that ninth-level soul engineer.
So, I naturally trust that ninth-level soul engineer very much. If the other party is willing to betray the Sun Moon Empire openly, I could even consider appointing him as a national teacher.
The basis for our plan to attack Illustrious Virtue Hall also largely comes from that ninth-level soul engineer.
If it weren't for the information he provided, including the 100,000-year soul beast embryo, this plan obviously could not be implemented."
Xu Jiujiu frowned slightly: "Royal Brother, in my opinion, we should train our people as much as possible to reduce dependence on this ninth-level soul engineer. After all, he is a member of the Sun Moon Empire. The reason he helps us must be for some purpose.
This time, a mistake in intelligence ruined our cooperation with the Body Sect. What if he provides false information next time? Wouldn't our Star Luo Empire suffer losses again?"
"Jiujiu, what you said makes sense. I remember that this ninth-level soul engineer is already quite old, and the lifespan of human soul masters is limited. It's estimated he won't live much longer," Xu Jiawei also fell into thought.
"We can only invest more resources to win over suitable high-level officials of the Sun Moon Empire. After all, the high-level officials of any empire are not a monolithic entity."

Sun Moon Palace
Xu Tianran sat in a wheelchair, looking out the window, and said: "The Body Sect chose to raid Illustrious Virtue Hall.
Understandably, they know Jing Hongchen purchased a hundred-thousand-year soul beast embryo. After all, many in the Starlight Auction House watched Jing Hongchen buy the embryo.
However, outsiders shouldn't know the specific storage location. It seems there's a traitor in a high position in the empire."
Ju Zi nodded beside him: "Your Highness, this traitor is extremely harmful to the empire. I suggest a thorough investigation. Otherwise, allowing this kind of internal ghost to exist will undoubtedly be disastrous for the empire."
Xu Tianran agreed and said, "Yes, this matter must be investigated thoroughly.
As soon as I ascend to the throne, there will be war between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire.
If a traitor stabs us in the back, it will cause trouble for the Sun Moon Army, too."
Xu Tianran naturally hated internal traitors.
In his view, the future of this empire belongs to him sooner or later. No matter how high his position, betrayal damages his interests.
"Ju Zi, I will assign some people to you. Investigate this thoroughly.
Remember, do your best. Once you find the traitor, report to me and Mr. Kong immediately. This is a good opportunity to demonstrate goodwill to Mr. Kong." Xu Tianran said lightly.
"Yes, Your Highness," Juzi replied.
Although she is now considered to have "betrayed" Xu Tianran, in Ju Zi's opinion, this is because Xu Tianran does not regard her as a human being at all.
She helped him do many things, yet in his mind, she is just a useful and trustworthy tool.
"By the way, how is the progress between you and Huo Yuhao?"
"Your Highness, it's progressing steadily. Because of my senior status, Huo Yuhao now trusts me quite a bit and even asked me to help purchase some personal items," Ju Zi lied directly.
Xu Tianran showed satisfaction: "Ju Zi, you did well. Huo Yuhao is highly valued by Mr. Kong. If you want to build a good relationship with Mr. Kong, you can start with the people he values.
Don't worry; when Huo Yuhao is no longer useful, you won't have to suffer this grievance."
Is it a grievance? Ju Zi didn't think so. Huo Yuhao's cooking skills reminded her of her father, so she naturally favored him.
However, thinking this in her heart doesn't mean she will show it in front of Xu Tianran.
She is a woman very skilled at acting.
Ju Zi looked at Xu Tianran, and a look of gratitude suddenly appeared on her face: "Thank you, Your Highness."
"Well, as long as you work hard for me, I promise that one day, Dai Hao will die in your hands, and you will have the chance to take revenge," Xu Tianran began to paint a rosy picture. He and Dai Hao had no personal grudge, but he knew Ju Zi and Dai Hao hated each other deeply.

Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy
Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged on the ground, in front of him was a book, The Secret of the Body.
This book comes from Du Busi and records the method of awakening the body martial soul for the second time.
This is a technique explored by the ancestors of the Body Sect, regarded as the "core technology" of the sect.
It also serves as a continuous driving force to attract wild body martial soul owners.
After all, no force outside the sect has a method to awaken the body martial soul a second time.
If the owner of the body martial soul does not join the sect, they have no chance to awaken it again.
For many, this is an unbearable thought.
The temptation of a second awakening is immense. Even at only the black iron level, it can boost combat power by 30%.
In Douluo Dalu II, the second awakening of the body martial soul is divided into four levels: Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
The higher the level, the harder it is to awaken. Even in the original work, Huo Yuhao only awakened his martial soul to the gold level when fighting the mermaid princess in the later stages under desperate circumstances.
Well, the overall content is similar to the awakening of the main body martial soul in Douluo Dalu. It seems there are no mistakes or omissions. It also records the experience of the sect's awakening methods. He can study it and avoid some detours.
The so-called second awakening is essentially about stimulating potential and evolving the martial soul.
However, the current sect does not seem to have developed body martial soul training methods.
