"Forget about her. If I had known, I wouldn't have been so anxious..."
He came back excitedly to report urgent intelligence, but was beaten to it by Ning Tian, the defector he had personally received. It would be a lie to say that Xu Tianxi had no complicated emotions.
How come the traitors surrender so quickly these days? They even took away half of his job.
But soon, he cheered up, changed into black clothes and felt hat, and came to Jing Hongchen mysteriously.
"Dean, she is right. Shrek does have bad intentions towards us. We must be extremely cautious, take more precautions, and strive to annihilate all invading enemies!"
When he first saw someone approaching, Jing Hongchen was obviously confused by Xu Tianxi's outfit. It was not until he heard the voice clearly that he realized that this was Xu Tianxi, the first pride of his Royal Academy.
So he grinned and asked, "So what suggestions do you have?"
"The first suggestion is of course to observe the other party's movements at all times and find out what's going on over there. Only by knowing both yourself and the enemy can you win every battle." Intelligence is the first element, and Xu Tianxi insisted on doing a good job in intelligence work without hesitation.
Ning Tian immediately raised his hand: "I can leave this matter to my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. I will definitely not let you two down. How do you think?"
A deposit must be paid to do business, and a pledge of allegiance must be made to join a new force. Ning Tian felt that this was a godsend opportunity, so he decisively betrayed Shrek in order to win a bright future for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Xu Tianxi glanced at Ning Tian and Xu Jiujiu, who he had asked to hide in advance, and coughed twice, saying, "This is the best. I hope the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is really sincere in cooperating with us."
To be on the safe side, he would not let the wavering Ning Tian know about the special relationship between Xu Jiujiu, the Xingluo Empire and him. He still had the consciousness to take care of his allies.
Forget about Jing Hongchen, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is obviously not very reliable. He has to keep this trump card. By comparing the information from both sides, it will be clear at a glance whether Ning Tian has any problems.
If there is no problem, it means that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is really determined to get along with them, so we can relax our vigilance in the future.
Jing Hongchen was very satisfied with Xu Tianxi's attitude, and then asked: "What do you need us to do?"
Xu Tianxi didn't answer, but turned his head and looked at Ning Tian.
Ning Tian understood, covered his lips with his palm and yawned, and said sleepily: "Principal, Duke, you guys talk first, I'll go back and catch up on my sleep."
After saying that, she walked away with graceful steps without looking back once.
"After this time, I don't believe you will still be on guard against me." She thought quietly.
Suddenly, she felt as if someone was secretly spying on her. She moved her eyes sharply, but found nothing.
"Am I overthinking?" Ning Tian, who had gained nothing, wondered inwardly. He was not worried that he would encounter danger here, and walked back to his reception villa.
Seeing Ning Tian leave, Jing Hongchen's calm face revealed a hint of a smile: "You sent someone to monitor her? You are quite vigilant."
"It is best to be cautious and vigilant in everything. I cannot accept that there is an information leak here."
Xu Tianxi said in a serious voice, "Dean, Shrek's sudden attack this time must have a purpose. Although we don't know the target yet, it must be in our college."
"In this case, I think we can use the entire academy as bait to dig a big trap for Shrek and the others."
Hearing this, Jing Hongchen's eyes sparkled, and he said with great interest: "What do you want to do? Just tell me directly."
"Simple. We will expand the scope of our reconstruction to the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. We will bury various trigger soul guides and fixed soul guide shells inside the academy. We will use this academy, which is as large as a medium-sized city, to bury those ambitious people!"
Xu Tianxi raised his head suddenly, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, like an eagle or a wolf, with an aggressive aura.
Jing Hongchen was shocked by this idea. "Give the entire academy to those guys to bury? Isn't this too much..."
"Dean, what you said is wrong. We shouldn't bury these guys with this academy, but let them be buried with the academy!"
"We are not afraid of thieves stealing, but we are afraid of thieves thinking about it. Instead of waiting for those bastards to destroy it, why don't we move the precious bottles and jars away in advance and then transform this empty shell into a trap!"
Xu Tianxi said with a sharp look in his eyes: "On the way back, I thought of many ways to strengthen the defense, and found that as long as we set the goal to defend against enemy attacks, no matter how well we do, we will only be passive in attacking."
"In this case, why don't we change our thinking, switch from defense to offense, set a trap here, and fight a war of annihilation!"
Xu Tianxi opened his hands and then suddenly clenched his fists, and then the two fists collided with each other. When the two fists collided, a large area of air exploded.
"To be fair, we don't know how many experts Shrek will bring to cause trouble this time, and it's impossible to protect every corner. So why don't we take the initiative to move away valuable sites, machinery, students and researchers, throw away the burden, and give it a try?"
Jing Hongchen squinted his eyes for a few seconds, then showed a wry smile and nodded, "Okay, okay, I have to admit that you young people are more courageous than us. You have successfully convinced me."
Xu Tianxi smiled faintly and took the opportunity to continue, "I need you to go with me to find Mr. Kong and ask him to take out the prototype of the high-energy soul guide that is still in the experimental stage to isolate the aftermath of the battle to prevent it from affecting the civilians of Mingdu outside the academy."
High-energy soul guides are one of the trump cards of the Sun-Moon Empire in this era. They were used to block Du Bu Si's self-explosion. They were also transferred to the palace to resist the power of ten level nine fixed-type soul guide shells to encircle and kill Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao.
Currently, this technology is still in the research stage and is not mature, but a semi-finished product is a semi-finished product. This time, Xu Tianxi is determined to use fixed-type soul guide shells of level eight or above when necessary, and there is no other choice.
Jing Hongchen thought about Xu Tianxi's request and agreed, "Okay! I'll go with you to see Master Kong."
But then he asked another question: "It's just Tianxi, the total number of Titled Douluo-level masters in the original three countries is greater than ours after all. We can't mobilize multiple national defense hands back to Mingdu just for this operation. Do we have enough manpower?"
"We can keep as many as we can. This is our home ground. It's no problem."
Xu Tianxi encouraged him, and Jing Hongchen showed confidence in his eyes. He said, "Don't worry about the people from Shrek. I will take care of them. The rest is up to you, Dean. The masters from the Body Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family may be the main force of this operation."
"Shrek's current Sea God Pavilion Master, Song Yunzhi, is the world's number one agility attack spirit master with incredible speed. Can you handle it?" Jing Hongchen said with concern.
"You don't have to worry about this person, Dean. They have a level 97 Super Douluo, and we have one too."
Xu Tianxi smiled mysteriously and said, "Excuse me for keeping you in suspense, but I can tell you that they will be the best candidates to deal with the people from Shrek."
Jing Hongchen didn't care about this, and waved his hand and said, "Okay, then I'll leave it all to you. I won't ask anything, just tell me what you need, and I'll wait for you to take off the head of Shrek Titled Douluo."
"You go see Mr. Kong first, I'll be there soon."
"Thank you for your trust, Dean." Xu Tianxi bowed and turned to make arrangements in the direction of the worship hall.
That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
Xu Tianxi took the two masters of the Qiangu family and hid their whereabouts and quietly returned to the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.
"Two seniors, the first battle to settle accounts with Shrek may come soon, please be prepared..."
Taking the two people to a quiet place, Xu Tianxi introduced the goal of this operation to them with a solemn expression.
Qiangu Canghai waved the stick, nodded and smiled, "My father and I have been waiting for this battle, and we will not let you down, Brother Xu."
"Haha, I hope that when the two seniors meet the masters of Shrek, they can smash their heads with one stick."
Xu Tianxi said a blessing, said goodbye to the Qiangu father and son, and went outside the academy to help install high-energy soul guides.
Busy from night to day, and having transferred all the important students and some experimental equipment within five days, Xu Tianxi finally had some peace and quiet and some free time.
At this time, Ning Tian and Xu Jiujiu's intelligence network also gave him new information regarding Shrek's operational objectives.
"Shrek's target this time is actually He Cai Tou? The former crown prince?"
In Xu Jiujiu's single-family villa, Xu Tianxi looked at the core secrets given by Xu Jiujiu, feeling at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"That's what my brother and the others found out." Xu Jiujiu supported her snow-white chin with one hand, tilted her pretty face slightly, and showed a very interested smile, and asked:
"You didn't let him go at the beginning, didn't you know that he was not ordinary? Is he really the former crown prince of your Sun Moon Empire?"
"I guess so. The old emperor is incompetent and couldn't even handle a coup d'état properly. He left behind such a hidden danger and asked us to clean up after it for him."
Xu Tianxi looked strange, then sighed and said, "Originally we just wanted to lock He Caitou up for a few decades, and then release him after his cultivation potential is exhausted. This would be a decent ending."
"I didn't expect Shrek to use his identity to make a fuss. It really forced us to change our minds."
Xu Jiujiu heard this without saying a word, and stared at Xu Tianxi, as if to say, "You, who also wants to be emperor, why do you care about this?"
Xu Tianxi said calmly, "Don't get me wrong. Although I don't mind killing people, I don't like killing people indiscriminately. Besides, I am just despising the old emperor's methods and Shrek's IQ."
"If I had been the one to stage the coup, I would never have left any trouble behind. If I were a high-ranking official at Shrek, I would have only secretly led people to capture He Caitou, and I would not have been so high-profile as I am now, leading to the leakage of information."
"It seems that Shrek has never done these spy jobs, and doesn't understand the principle of making a fortune quietly. I heard that they are still working on some extreme single-soldier plan, intending to change the war with one person's strength. Now it seems that everything is a joke."
Xu Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, and a gleam of surprise flashed across his bright eyes under his slender eyebrows. Then he smiled and said, "So now, what are you going to do?"
"Simple. Since Shrek wants to rescue He Caitou, we will use him to ambush them."
Xu Tianxi stood up, his eyes burning: "This time, I want to bury them here!"
After a long time, he rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "If you don't mind, I will go with you."
Xu Tianxi glanced at her unexpectedly and nodded slightly: "That's fine."
After making the decision, Xu Tianxi immediately called the team to make a plan, and the defenses around the prison where He Caitou was located changed rapidly.
When everything was ready, Xu Tianxi ordered Xiao Xiao, Ling Luochen, and Cai Tou to be protected in different places, and he took his men to live in the top-level prison, waiting for the opportunity.
By the way, he arranged Zhang Lexuan to live next door and sealed her soul power.
Looking at the scenery of Ming capital city outside the prison, Xu Tianxi sat cross-legged and meditated with his eyes closed.
"Don't make me wait too long..."
…
Dozens of days later, a shocking explosion suddenly came from underground. Xu Tianxi opened his eyes suddenly, and then saw figures with high-hanging soul rings flying towards him, and the sound of killing was endless.
"Children of Shrek, we are here to save you!"
As his eyes moved, Xu Tianxi showed a faint smile on his face: "War God Xian Lin'er? You came just in time."
