Chapter 1664

As long as Su Yang secretly intervenes, even if he annexes Qingluan Country and Shenfeng Country to become the dominant power in the surrounding region within a short time, it would not be a major problem.

But what then, after annexing these countries?

The follow-up problems would be extremely troublesome!

Externally, the stronger the Huaxia Federation becomes, the stronger its enemies will also become!

The Huaxia Federation is very likely to attract the attention and hostility of Babaozhai within a short time.

And at that point, internal problems within the Huaxia Federation would also arise.

The Huaxia Federation has only tens of millions of people—how can it control hundreds of millions of people in Qingluan Country, Shenfeng Country, and all other neighboring nations, each with different languages and cultures?

Moreover, the overall average strength of Huaxia's Beast Tamer corps is inferior to that of the Beast Tamer corps in surrounding small nations.

Once the two sides merge, those from other nations in the Beast Tamer World might end up dominating domestically.

Even if conflict breaks out, the Huaxia people are far more likely to lose.

Forcefully dividing people into hierarchies?

That's utterly unrealistic!

Under conditions where the core strength lags behind, unless Su Yang and other God-Rank Beast Tamers intervene.

Otherwise, the Huaxia-formed Beast Tamer forces cannot suppress the native forces of the Beast Tamer World!

Forcibly separating Huaxia people will only provoke more hostility and hatred!

Su Yang's actions are indeed often aggressive.

But in state governance, his philosophy still aligns closely with traditional Huaxia values.

Strongly encourage childbirth to increase the Federation's population.

Strengthen strength, expand territory, and slowly eliminate surrounding territories.

Then use superior population numbers to gradually assimilate them.

This is a slow, long-term process, but absolutely gentle and effective, causing no major upheavals.

One of the secrets behind the Huaxia Federation's sustained unity and integrity.

Blindly expanding territory and adding several times more foreign population—who will assimilate whom? That will be hard to say by then.

A month passed, when Chen Tianwu arrived in the Huaxia Federation.

Su Yang also received news that Yun Shuying had left Qingluan City.

He was not surprised by this news.

Yun Shuying is a very cautious woman.

Shenlongshang Alliance is indeed powerful, but she can deny them any opportunity.

Chen Tianwu, upon arriving in the Huaxia Federation, was received by Marshal Xu and Sovereign Jiazi.

Overall, Chen Tianwu still maintained politeness.

Two days later, Chen Tianwu also left the Huaxia Federation.

He handed over the negotiations to his subordinates.

The Huaxia Federation also established a dedicated negotiation team.

Marshal Xu also consulted with senior leadership, as well as Su Yang and Liu Mengyun.

They were merely negotiating, buying time.

After the Huaxia Federation successfully arrived in the Beast Tamer World without facing any threat from native forces, the entire Huaxia Federation leadership developed a mysterious confidence in Su Yang.

Many matters now seek Su Yang and Liu Mengyun's opinions.

The Federation's senior leadership now clearly understands that Su Yang is not the naive fool they once thought him to be.

He was pretending all along!

Shortly after Chen Tianwu departed.

News reached Shenlong City's Shenlongshang Alliance headquarters that Elder Ling had gone missing—and possibly already dead.

The mission Elder Ling undertook was indeed dangerous.

But with even slight caution and speed, capturing Yun Shuying and escaping safely posed no great difficulty.

Babaozhai is indeed powerful, but Yun Shuying was not in Babaozhai's headquarters—she was in Qingluan City!

Yet Elder Ling vanished for a full month!

He had not contacted Shenlongshang Alliance's intelligence network for a month!

Coupled with the disappearance of Shenlongshang Alliance's mole embedded in Qingluan City's Babaozhai, and news of the massive explosion in Jin Xiongguo exceeding God-Rank Mid-Grade power,

And their target, Yun Shuying, had returned unharmed to Babaozhai's headquarters.

Within Shenlongshang Alliance, even those who had the most faith in Elder Ling now believed he was almost certainly dead, unlikely to return.

Four God-Rank Beast Tamers, including a veteran God-Rank Mid-Grade Beast Tamer!

Such a loss, even for Shenlongshang Alliance, was unbearable.

This was unquestionably their most severe loss of God-Rank Beast Tamers in three hundred years!

"This is a conspiracy!"

"Yes, Babaozhai deliberately released Yun Shuying to target Shenlongshang Alliance!"

"Elder Ling was definitely targeted—if not, even if he failed to capture Yun Shuying, he should have escaped at least!"

"Grand Elder, we must retaliate!"

"The Extinction Phoenix is definitely in Babaozhai's hands—otherwise they wouldn't use Yun Shuying as bait!"

"They anticipated our actions precisely!"

"There is certainly a mastermind within Babaozhai!"

"…"

The elders within the Shenlongshang Alliance were all inflamed with rage.

They simply could not swallow this insult!

They stole the Nirvana Phoenix they had planned for three hundred years!

They blew up the Shenlongshang Alliance's headquarters!

Not long ago, they killed two of their God-Rank Low-Grade Beast Tamer elders, including a promising God-Rank Mid-Grade Beast Tamer!

Recently, they lured and assassinated two more of their elders.

Among them was Elder Ling, a veteran God-Rank Mid-Grade Beast Tamer with excellent connections, great prestige, and immense strength…

Baobaozhai's recent actions were a direct challenge to their bottom line!

Everyone was watching the Shenlongshang Alliance's Chairman and Grand Elder.

They were all waiting for the Chairman and Grand Elder's response.

The Shenlongshang Alliance's Grand Elder slowly opened his eyes and looked at the Chairman.

Their gazes exchanged a brief glance, and they reached immediate agreement!

The Grand Elder rose from his seat, and all seven elders remaining in the Shenlongshang Alliance turned to him, awaiting his words.

The Grand Elder, his face grim, growled low: "If this is how it is, the Shenlongshang Alliance must make Baobaozhai pay the price it deserves!"

Baobaozhai likes to disguise itself as a merchant, plundering the wealth of other nations and controlling their economic lifelines.

Those who refuse to obey are crushed outright—until the other nations submit!

The Shenlongshang Alliance is no saint either!

Aside from the conflict between Baobaozhai and the Shenlongshang Alliance, the Huaxia Federation enjoyed remarkable peace over the next six months.

Thanks to Sovereign Jiazi's deterrence and the influence of Qingluan Nation.

No foreign Beast Tamer dared cross the Huaxia Ring Sea and enter Gao Yuan without the Huaxia Federation's permission.

With the help of the Beast Tamer forces, major cities across the Federation were nearly fully rebuilt.
