Chapter 478 Emperor Xueye, Imperial Palace Discussion.
Heaven Dou Empire, Imperial Palace.
"Sect Master Ning, Sect Master Yu, Grandmaster, His Majesty requests your presence."
A guard stepped forward and ushered Ning Fengzhi and the other two inside. However, the moment they entered, "Slap—"
"Damn it! They know all this perfectly well! And they even strongly condemn the murderers who destroyed the two major sects—this is a thief crying 'stop thief!' They even want to reorder the seven major sects. Are they trying to single-handedly control the entire Soul Master world and the entire continent?"
Emperor Xueye, listening to the news, was furious. He slapped his chair so hard it nearly shattered. "Too blatant! Absolutely too blatant! What is the Spirit Hall trying to do? Do they want to rule the entire continent? Do they really think Heaven Dou wouldn't dare to fight them?"
It should be noted that, compared to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School had never supported the Heaven Dou Empire. Yet, even so, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School still stood within the Heaven Dou Empire's territory.
However, now, the Spirit Hall dares to trespass across the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire and send tens of thousands of Soul Masters to attack these two major sects. This completely disregards the Heaven Dou Empire.
This alone crosses the empire's bottom line!
Moreover, in recent years, the Spirit Hall's expansion and influence have surpassed those of the two empires, interfering with imperial rule. This has led to lower-level Soul Masters of the empire being only grateful to the Spirit Hall, completely unaware that their subsidies are funded by the empire.
Furthermore, the Spirit Hall has been recruiting or coercing outstanding young Soul Masters in various Soul Master Competitions, causing the younger generation of the two empires to wither away. They have even coerced and bribed other sects, as well as kingdoms and duchies that are subordinate to the two empires. It can be said that the Spirit Hall's ambitions are now blatantly obvious.
If it weren't for the overwhelming power of the Spirit Hall… both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire had only been able to tolerate and endure. But this incident became the catalyst that ignited their fury.
"Your Majesty, please calm your rage."
The three Ning Fengzhi who entered, despite their own grim expressions, still tried to console him.
"Heh, calm your rage?"
Emperor Xue Ye, seeing Ning Fengzhi and his companions arrive, forcibly suppressed his anger and waved to the guards beside him, indicating that Ning Fengzhi and his companions should be seated.
"How can I calm my anger?"
Emperor Xue Ye then retorted, "The Spirit Hall's actions have already exposed their ambition! If this continues, they will surely attack my Heaven Dou Empire!"
"Your Majesty," Grandmaster suddenly spoke up.
"Even so, we can only endure it. Faced with the formidable strength of the Spirit Hall's Soul Masters, our Heaven Dou Empire's forces alone are merely throwing an egg against a rock."
"I too have a million mighty warriors! How could I fear them!"
Emperor Xue Ye appeared impulsive, but as the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, he was perfectly clear-headed.
However, as emperor, he couldn't afford to lose, so he could only use Grandmaster's persuasion as a pretext to back down.
"Then what do we do next?"
Emperor Xue Ye asked, but his eyes kept glancing towards the silent Yu Yuanzhen.
Clearly, he wanted the support of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
After all, even if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was severely injured, a weakened camel is still bigger than a horse, especially since Yu Yuanzhen, a Title Douluo, was still alive. For Heaven Dou, that was enough.
Realizing this, Yu Yuanzhen stood up.
"Your Majesty, from this day forward, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Spirit Hall are sworn enemies. We humbly request Your Majesty's assistance."
At the same time, Ning Fengzhi also rose.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School shares this sentiment."
"Shrek Academy is willing to stand with the Empire."
"Gentlemen, there's no need for such formalities." Emperor Xue Ye, seeing this, was secretly overjoyed, but he didn't show it.
At this moment, Grandmaster also answered Xue Ye's question.
"Your Majesty, if we want to deal with the Spirit Hall, the Empire's current strength and our own are far from sufficient. We must unite all forces opposing the Spirit Hall. After all, destroying this behemoth, the Spirit Hall, is not something that can be done overnight. Your Majesty had better make long-term plans."
Emperor Xue Ye was a wise man, and upon hearing this, he said.
"Master means... the Star Luo Empire."
"Exactly." The Master nodded slightly and said, "Two of our Shrek Academy students are from the Star Luo Empire. They have even been designated as the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of the Star Luo Empire. Now, they have returned to Star Luo, therefore..."
At this point, the Master noticed the change in Emperor Xue Ye's expression and clearly knew what he was thinking.
So, facing Emperor Xue Ye's hesitation, the Master said, "Your Majesty, the current situation is that both empires are under pressure from the Spirit Hall. You must know that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."
At the same time, Yu Yuanzhen also spoke up.
"Your Majesty, in this world, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. The Spirit Hall destroyed the two major sects, and the Star Luo Empire must have received the news. And they will feel fear after receiving the news. Cooperation is inevitable."
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi also picked up where Yu Yuanzhen left off.
"Yes, Your Majesty. And I think Grandmaster's meaning is not just about cooperating with the Star Luo Empire. After all, our biggest problem right now is a lack of strong individuals. We must recruit as many free Soul Masters as possible to join us so that we can gradually turn the tide."
"Phew..."
Emperor Xueye breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"I understand. So, these Soul Masters..."
Ning Fengzhi and Grandmaster stepped forward and bowed.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. Given some time, I believe those from Shrek Academy will grow stronger, and they will replace us old folks as the pillars of the empire."
"Are you talking about those teenagers from five years ago?"
"Exactly. Our turning point lies with them. I believe that given twenty years, they will all become Title Douluo, and very powerful ones at that."
After receiving Ning Fengzhi and the others' reply, Emperor Xueye looked up slightly at the ceiling. "In that case, it seems that the future hope of the empire rests on them."
But just then, "Your Majesty, please."
A guard suddenly entered.
Ning Fengzhi and the other two knew that this was not the time to speak. They all stopped their conversations and sat quietly in their seats.
Emperor Xueye glanced at them indifferently and asked, "What brings you here?"
"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
