Chapter 1162 Gathering Information
They only dared to peek out and sized up the two beautiful women.
Now, all of them have changed back to their original appearances.
Since Tang Lan was there to cause trouble for the Tianque Sect, there was no need for her to present herself in any other guise.
The group went downstairs together, looked around, and soon spotted the reserved spot by the window in the corner.
The restaurant is called Qingzhu Restaurant, a rather elegant name.
Of course, the various decorations inside the restaurant are also antique, and you can indeed see green bamboo planted in pots from time to time.
This green bamboo has relatively thin branches and is a type of green bamboo. It can be considered an ornamental plant and will not grow as tall as the bamboo in the outside bamboo forest.
Besides Tang Lan and her group, there were many other tables of guests around.
They whispered among themselves, and occasionally someone would glance at Tang Lan and the others without them noticing.
Of course, those glances weren't directed at Tang Lan, but rather at the two great beauties, Tang Ya and Chen Yue, who were sitting opposite her.
"Sigh, when you're out with a beautiful woman, you can't even try to keep a low profile!"
"I wanted to keep a low profile, but I ended up becoming the focus of attention in the restaurant."
Tang Lan poured a glass of wine for everyone while half-jokingly saying something.
"You're just a smooth talker!"
"But if we had known this would happen, we should have come down wearing masks."
Tang Ya seemed to dislike being the center of attention and said with some regret.
Chen Yue didn't take it seriously, because such things were commonplace around her.
She would only find it strange if one day the strangers around her stopped looking at her.
"Have you heard? One of the elders of the Giant Whale Gang escaped severely wounded, and all his subordinates were killed!"
"Furthermore, the other party claims to have a grudge against the Tianque Sect, which has attracted the attention of the Tianque Sect. They have already dispatched experts to Qingbi City to investigate the situation!"
After drinking a glass of wine, one of them started talking about the matter with his friend next to him.
Upon hearing this, Tang Lan and the others paused slightly, then began to listen attentively without making a sound.
Soon someone responded, "I've heard about this too, and the mysterious person's divine power is said to be that of a Title Douluo."
"When did the Heavenly Palace Sect ever provoke a Title Douluo?!"
"Even if the other party is a lone Soul Master, just the fact that he keeps causing trouble around him will bring considerable trouble to the Heavenly Palace Sect."
"I wonder if the Heavenly Palace Sect can eliminate that enemy this time, after all, the Heavenly Palace Sect has several Title Douluos in charge."
One of them shared his opinion.
"Hey, this has nothing to do with us!"
"Come on, let's drink first, let's drink first!"
At one of their urgings, the group raised their glasses and toasted each other.
At the same time, the other tables were also discussing some matters related to the recent border conflict between the Douling Empire and the Tianhun Empire.
It's nothing more than the Douling Empire occupying a strategic location the day before yesterday, capturing a number of prisoners, and winning a battle.
Yesterday, the Heavenly Soul Empire launched a night attack on the camp, resulting in the loss of countless people and supplies.
Both empires possess extremely strong foundations, and determining a victor would not be a matter of a single day or two.
Historically, wars between two great empires have often lasted for years.
This time is no different; it's unlikely we'll see who has the upper hand until the two sides have been fighting for several years.
At this critical moment, the competition is about the comprehensive national strength and logistical support capabilities of both sides.
In addition, Tang Lan also learned some other information.
That means there seems to be war breaking out within the Star Luo Empire as well.
The rebellious forces claimed to be native to the Star Luo Empire and that they had risen up in rebellion because they were dissatisfied with the oppression of the Star Luo Empire's royal family.
In order to suppress this group of rebels, the Star Luo Empire also mobilized a large number of troops.
In the short term, the Star Luo Empire will likely be too preoccupied with its own problems to care about the affairs between the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Fighting Spirit Empire.
In addition, some internal divisions seem to have arisen within the Sun Moon Empire.
Emperor Xu Tianran was unable to move his legs and could only rely on prosthetic limbs guided by his soul to assist him in walking.
Even so, he was an extremely outstanding level nine soul master, and also a level ninety-two power attack type titled Douluo.
Its martial soul, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, is a powerful martial soul that, after mutation, is in no way weaker than the Empire's inherited martial soul, the Sun.
In the legends of the past, Zihuang Mietianlong was known as the ancestor of all dragons.
This alone shows just how powerful the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon truly is.
Nevertheless, Xu Tianran still has many formidable rivals in the Sun Moon Empire.
Besides the various ministers and their factions from the previous dynasty, there were also his own brothers plotting against him.
Despite his journey from crown prince to emperor, Xu Tianran eliminated many of his brothers who had opposed him, demonstrating righteousness even at the cost of his own family.
But he still couldn't eliminate all his enemies.
Furthermore, recently, a group of ministers have openly stood up to oppose Xu Tianran's policies in the imperial court.
The leader among them was Xu Jing, a veteran official of the previous dynasty and a founding general.
Strictly speaking, this person was also a member of the royal family, but only from a distant branch of the lineage.
If it weren't for Xu Jing's sudden rise to power and his help in establishing unparalleled achievements, their faction's collateral branches would probably have been completely expelled from the royal family.
It was precisely because of dissatisfaction with the suppression of collateral branches by their own clan, and with some of Xu Tianran's policies in governing the Sun Moon Empire.
They began to openly oppose Xu Tianran's edicts and even attempted to undermine his power.
However, even under such a pressing situation, Xu Tianran openly announced something.
That is to bestow the title of Supreme Revered Elder upon Ye Xishui, known as the Death God Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult, as the Supreme Revered Elder of the Sun Moon Empire.
This position grants even greater power than other honorifics, and if necessary, can mobilize soldiers and troops from any city.
With two Limit Douluo, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, present, Xu Tianran had two more experts protecting him, which prevented the various forces that secretly disliked him from daring to harm him.
"The situation in the Sun Moon Empire is truly chaotic!"
"What's so great about being an emperor? I think it's much more relaxing and carefree to cultivate in the Tang Sect."
"However, since the Tang Clan was established, we have also made many enemies, and life has no longer been peaceful as before."
Listening quietly to the conversations among the unfamiliar guests around her, even Tang Ya couldn't help but sigh.
In his view, being an emperor was really not good; he had to guard against the schemes of other forces in the Sun Moon Empire every day.
"This is the best outcome!"
"The Sun and Moon Empire has never given up its desire to invade the Eastern Continent."
"If they truly unify the domestic forces, their next target will likely be the Eastern Continent." (End of Chapter)
