The Pressure of Dou Yi
"Good, what a hostage exchange!"
Xue Qinghe crumpled the list in his hand into a ball and threw it away forcefully.
He got up and paced back and forth.
"Our Heaven Dou Empire is warm and hospitable and will not do anything to Dai Weisi and the others, but the Star Luo Empire is too shameless. Wouldn't sending people from our Heaven Dou Empire there mean they would never return?"
He paced back and forth.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck.
No return?
"Xue Beng has a stubborn personality; perhaps we could have him learn Forging to temper his temperament."
He immediately began to draft a list, including all the spoiled noble disciples from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy who were on good terms with Xue Beng, and then he also put together half of the Soul Masters he favored, thus initially finalizing the personnel that the Heaven Dou Royal Family would send to the Blacksmith Association.
Of course, he also had to hand the list over to Xue Ye, who was "his" father, and only if the emperor approved of it would the list be useful.
"Hopefully they can obtain the technique of 'Thousand Forgings with Spirit '."
Star Luo City.
The Imperial Palace.
"The Blacksmith Association has gone too far!"
Dai Bantian tore the letter in his hand to shreds.
"Your Majesty, the First Prince has been sent to Suotuo City. Shall we go to Suotuo City and bring him back?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Bantian's face twitched slightly.
The Star Luo Royal Family is capable of doing this.
Even if the Blacksmith Association investigates, the Royal Family can definitely appease them with a reasonable price.
But he can't do that.
Damn, my youngest son Dai Mu Bai, is over there too.
We've finally managed to turn a blind eye and let that kid escape, and now we're sending someone to bring him back?
"Find another Soul Emperor, select one from the Sun Family, and send him to Suotuo City to protect my son."
After Dai Bantian finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling the other party to pass on the message.
After hearing Dai Bantian's decree, the official's expression turned somewhat strange.
Sun Family
That must be the family of the father of the Zhu Family's youngest daughter, right?
Because of Zhu Zhuqing's matter, the Sun Family and the eldest prince seem to have always been at odds.
Time flies by in the blink of an eye.
One month later.
Zhu Jiuyang received numerous calls for action.
The Star Luo Royal Family has repeatedly stated that it is extremely impolite and disrespectful for the Heaven Dou Empire for people from the two great empires to enter each other's territories. They have requested that their family members be transferred back to the Star Luo Empire territory to prevent the Heaven Dou Empire from feeling uneasy.
The people from the Heaven Dou Royal Family have also arrived, and Prince Xue Xing has also come along. He has made several appeals within the Blacksmith Association, demanding the same thing as the Star Luo Royal Family.
"Zhu Jiuyang, what kind of trouble are you causing? Aren't you really afraid that your actions will cause a war between the two great empires? How many innocent people will die tragically then?"
Zhu Jiuyang looked at Xue Xing, who had a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, and sneered.
"The Spirit Hall has stated that the Martial Soul Main Hall in both cities will cooperate to protect the safety of the Blacksmith Association personnel. Which of your two empires dares to provoke trouble first? The Spirit Hall will be the first to object."
Don't bother me. The Spirit Hall will cover for us this time; it's none of our business.
Xue Xing was troubled upon hearing this.
If the Spirit Hall has to step in, then we really have no choice but to follow the Blacksmith Association's arrangements?
No!
That's too dangerous.
The two great empires dare not disobey the Spirit Hall and assassinate each other's people within their own territory, but damn Xue Qinghe can arrange for people to assassinate their own people within the other's territory!
Will the Star Luo Empire protect Xue Beng?
not necessarily.
Or rather, none of them anticipated it.
"Xue Xing, you're not on the list and are not under protection. I still advise you to return to Heaven Dou as soon as possible to avoid any unexpected trouble," Zhu Jiuyang reminded him.
Xue Xing snorted coldly.
"President Zhu need not worry about that. Although I did not invite Poison Douluo Poison Douluo accompany me on this trip, I did receive a promise from him that if I die, Poison Douluo will visit the enemy's territory."
A hint of apprehension flashed in Zhu Jiuyang's eyes.
Dugu Bo is not someone to be trifled with.
Although Poison Douluo's strength doesn't seem very high among the Titled Douluo, and he's a lone wolf without a powerful sect behind him, that's precisely why he's feared.
Lone Ranger.
It's poisonous.
He's still Titled Douluo.
No one on the mainland should mess with him.
Zhu Jiuyang asked Xue Xing to leave and refused to see any guests.
In the following days, he was urged by both sides to switch the people from the two factions back.
Zhu Jiuyang seemed to be persuaded and reluctantly gave a compromise: both sides should cooperate and each take a step back, handing over the areas along the route between Gengxin City and Suotuo City to the Blacksmith Association for jurisdiction. This would facilitate the exchange of resources and better ensure the safety of both sides.
Neither side agreed.
The situation reached a stalemate.
Five days later.
Su Ming had a general understanding of the current situation.
"Thank you for your hard work, teacher."
Zhu Jiuyang has been busy with association affairs lately, and it can be said that he is really doing something important. However, Zhu Jiuyang often pulls Su Ming, who has not been doing any work, out of the picture, and slowly builds him into the spiritual symbol of the Blacksmith Association, similar to the Lou Gao of the Blacksmith Association before.
"It's alright. This is all I can do for you right now. You have great ambitions, but you've taken too big a step."
Zhu Jiuyang gave a bitter smile.
It's really too big.
However, he was only stating the facts and did not blame Su Ming.
Because he was involved in this step the whole time, he also felt like he had inadvertently taken a big step.
"Teacher, I'll need your help dealing with them next."
"It's alright, both sides are very restrained, and everything is progressing smoothly. They are clearly considering my suggestion," Zhu Jiuyang said. "I'm going to teach Tianya Forging. Once I've trained a new Forging Master, the two Royal Family will behave themselves."
"Okay." Su Ming seemed to suddenly think of something and reminded Zhu Jiuyang, "By the way, teacher, remember to keep an eye on Suotuo City. If a conflict breaks out there, report it to Xue Qinghe. The more exaggerated the better. It would be best if he led troops to attack Balak. I feel that their side could be a breakthrough point."
After Zhu Jiuyang left, Su Ming once again devoted himself to designing a lower-spec version of the Two-word Battle Armor.
This design is still too difficult. Even the version with the "powerful brick flying" design, which simply involves nesting three Core Array, is still extremely difficult to nest. The planning and application of Spirituality also made this Level 4 Mecha Designer rack his brains.
"Dou Yi is still too troublesome."
Su Ming couldn't help but complain.
Titled Douluo are extremely rare in this era.
His early career development also prevented him from finding a suitable reason to contact Titled Douluo and recruit them into his group.
"Having a Soul Douluo teacher in the Dou Yi era was already an excellent start, but now it feels like it's not enough."
He began to envy Su Ming, who was in Dou Er and Dou San.
Needless to say, accounts in Dou San are banned everywhere, as numerous as dogs.
They can also occasionally come into contact with Limit Douluo.
In addition, Dou San Su Ming family, is skilled at taking on apprentices. If he takes big steps, someone will cover for him. By creating a Spirit God, he can attract the attention of the Spirit Pagoda and conceal his true identity, allowing him to leisurely change cities to cultivate.
As for Dou Er Su Ming
