Chapter 1733  Faith and Order's Grand Plan (1)

[The World Congress will be held tomorrow. All the invited factions can use the same portal for the World Congress tomorrow!]

That was the last announcement from the System, telling everyone when the World Congress started.

Tang Shaoyang was disappointed as he hoped that the World Congress would be held right after the tournament. There was nothing to do anymore, so he might as well leave. He stood up and looked at the main screen, showing the top ten for the tournament.

The Tang Empire occupied first, second, and fifth place. Ashley's team placed fifth even though her team was the last three surviving teams. That showed that her strategy was not suitable for the tournament format.

The three team leaders returned together with Zhang Mengyao. They had the look of regret on their faces. Zhang Mengyao successfully conveyed the message that it was wrong to use full power in a competition, especially when they fought their own people.

"Moonsong and his team will get the promised reward, and I will give the other teams an appropriate reward to survive till the end. I consider it as a win that all three teams survived to the end."

Even though they did not know what the appropriate reward meant, they were happy to hear that from Tang Shaoyang. Especially for the team members.

However, it was different for each team leader. Zaneos, Ashley, and Moonsong hoped to hear something else from The Emperor. They hoped to hear an evaluation of the power they showed during the tournament.

They wanted to hear the comments about their current strength, even if it was criticism. But they were disappointed because Tang Shaoyang did not say anything about their current strength, even Moonsong who won against Ashley and Zaneos.

That only meant one thing, they failed to impress Tang Shaoyang. Or else he would say something about their performance.

"Don't be disappointed. To him, our fight is like a child's play, and we should never use him as a standard for us. In his eyes, you and the people you defeated in the tournament are not different. But I can see your progress, and let's have a spar later Moonsong!"

Zhang Mengyao was excited to challenge Moonsong. Even though Moonsong started higher in rank, Zhang Mengyao managed to catch up. She was excited to have a spar with Moonsong after watching The Chief Moon's performance in the tournament.

"Or I can find you guys a worthy opponent for a spar? Interested?"

He was not interested in sparring with them, but his spirits might be interested. He could use his spirit and let them face a God Rank. His spirits were more powerful than the average of The God Rank they encountered so far.

"Let's do it today, Your Majesty. We might not have that much time tomorrow because of the World Congress!"

Moonsong was exciting, and the same for Zaneos. Not just them, even Lu An and the others wanted to give Tang Shaoyang's challenge a try.

Tang Shaoyang nodded, "Alright. We will meet in the training ground in thirty minutes."

The Tang Empire was the first one to leave their seats. The other factions were staying behind, getting to know each other. This was the right time for the smaller factions to form an alliance right before the World Congress. They needed to be in one voice so they could benefit in case there was a vote.

The thing that needed their votes was The Dimensional Tower. It was chosen by vote, and maybe there were other things that needed a vote as well. Forming an alliance right before the World Congress to oppose the major factions would be the right choice.

The other factions congratulated him as he came down to the first floor. He nodded at them out of courtesy, and he stopped as he arrived in front of the portal. He stopped because there was a group blocking the exit. These people were wearing white armor, the knights from The Faith and Order.

Tang Shaoyang was honestly amazed that they still dared to do something against him after the tournament and their first encounter. His eyes landed on the knight he met on the first day of the tournament. The knight lowered his gaze, afraid to look him in the eyes.

The one who led The Faith and Order was a different person. The person who surrendered after fighting Ashley. From the look of it, this man did not come to apologize. They all looked hostile.

Seven people stepped out from the group and stood three meters away from Tang Shaoyang.

Tang Shaoyang let out a sigh and handed Tang Xiulan back to Ava. He could not show or let his daughter hear what would happen soon.

"Don't you think you owe an explanation to us, Tang Empire!?" The knight who surrendered against Ashley spoke first.

Tang Shaoyang's ears twitched, furrowing his brow. He did not understand what this man was talking about. What did he mean that the Tang Empire owed an explanation to them? Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Don't waste my time with your nonsense. Move away!"

He did not bother asking for clarification about what they meant by explanation. No matter what it was, he knew that all was just nonsense. He did not need to prolong or hear it from them.

"You tell your people to specifically kill the participant from The Faith and Order!? Don't you think you owe an explanation to us!? Just because your faction is strong, it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!?"

The knight raised his voice, echoing through the dome. Thanks to him, now all attention is back on them once more. The other factions stopped whatever they did and came over just to watch what happened.

Niccola Penso, the leader of Faith and Order raised his voice to make a stage. He wanted everyone in the dome to hear what he said. He had a plan in mind. It was to make all factions turn against The Tang Empire.

Back then The Tang Empire might be strong enough to fight against the world. The situation was different now. They all had caught up in power, and if they managed to gather all factions under one banner, they might have enough Demi-God Rank to fight the Tang Empire.
