Tang San's Demand
Luo Yun sat in the guest tent of the Star Crown Sect camp, looking at the Soul Master coming and going outside through the lifted curtain, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Before coming here, he only knew that the Star Crown Sect was powerful, but he didn't know it was this powerful.
Moreover, he hadn't seen Xu Mingxi along the way, which made him wonder if he had been left behind in the sect.
Just as he was muttering something, he suddenly saw Star Douluo walk in from outside the tent. He quickly got up to greet him and respectfully bowed to Star Douluo.
"Your Excellency Star, I am Luo Yun, and I pay my respects on behalf of the Star Luo Kingdom."
"Brother Yun, there's no need to be so polite."
Huh? Luo Yun seemed to hear a familiar voice. He raised his head in disbelief and looked at Star Douluo with surprise in his eyes.
Xu Mingxi also knew that for ordinary people, his cultivation progress, which was greatly increased due to the large number of 100,000 Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, was somewhat terrifying.
Aside from the Elder and disciples of the Star Crown Sect, he had few friends on this Douluo Continent, and Luo Yun was one of the closest among them.
Moreover, when Xu Mingxi was studying at the Canghui Academy, Luo Yun's family helped him a lot, directly and indirectly reducing a lot of trouble for him.
He looked at Luo Yun, who was still in a daze, and calmed his voice, repeating what he had said to him again.
"Brother Yun, it really is me, Xu Mingxi."
"It really is you, Your Excellency Star, this..."
Luo Yun looked at Xu Mingxi, who was wearing Golden Mask, and realized that his former companion had become someone he could only look up to but never reach, making him almost unable to recognize her.
The two were already separated by a great gap in terms of both status and strength. Xu Mingxi looked at the reserved Luo Yun and couldn't help but sigh, regretting their past friendship.
After chatting briefly about the current situation of his former companions, Xu Mingxi chose to leave, leaving Luo Yun with a promise.
As long as he doesn't leave the Star Crown Sect, and as long as the Star Crown Sect doesn't suffer any mishaps, he'll be guaranteed a lifetime of safety.
Xu Mingxi had just left the tent when he received a meeting notice from Star Luo Emperor Dai Feng, saying that there were important matters to discuss and requesting his attendance.
Given the current situation, what major event could possibly occur besides the war with the Spirit Hall?
Xu Mingxi and the Sect Master and others who came out of the tent exchanged glances, nodded to each other, and flew together toward the place where Dai Feng was holding the meeting.
They all had a hunch that the matters discussed might have a direct impact on the battle against the Spirit Hall, and could even become a decisive battle.
As everyone gradually arrived, Dai Feng, who had been sitting there for quite some time, finally revealed the purpose of the conference.
"Gentlemen, the Heaven Dou Empire has sent us an invitation to jointly attack the Spirit Hall in three days and completely defeat it."
Dai Feng's words caused an uproar. The Spirit Hall was not so easy to defeat. Even with the newly emerged Tang Chen, they were only on par with the Spirit Hall.
Once the two sides engage in a decisive battle, regardless of the outcome, a significant number of people present will die.
They were all Soul Master at the Soul Saint level or above, and were basically nobles from the Douluo Continent, enjoying the most privileged lives. The war with the Spirit Hall was just a choice they had no other choice but to make.
If possible, they hope that Douluo Continent will be peaceful forever, so that their sect and family can prosper forever.
With their Martial Soul inheritance stable, they only need to continuously expand their family; they have no fear of a lack of outstanding talents in their descendants.
Dai Feng could tell what the people below were thinking just by looking at their expressions, but since the Dai Family was already completely tied to the Star Luo Empire, the destruction of the country meant the destruction of the family.
"Everyone, the war is Tang San's idea, as well as the Sea God Douluo and Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect's idea. They have started a war with the Spirit Hall, so how can we remain unaffected?"
Dai Feng passionately, but the crowd below remained silent. Everyone understands the principle of mutual dependence, but they never feel the pain until they are hit by a bullet.
Xu Mingxi held his wine glass, watching the purplish-red liquid ripple within. He was pondering what would be more advantageous for himself and for the Star Crown Sect.
The Star Luo Empire, where they were located, seemed to be the weakest side. The Spirit Hall was one thing, but the Heaven Dou Empire wouldn't let them just stand by and watch.
Fighting is a must, but the extent of the fight and the amount of strength required are all negotiable.
Xu Mingxi gave the Sect Master a look, and the Sect Master nodded to acknowledge it, then stood up in front of everyone.
The Sect Master, arguably the strongest person present, stood up, and the conversation immediately ceased as everyone's attention turned to him.
"Your Majesty, could you please tell us about Tang San's plan, and what we need to do?"
"That's natural."
The crowd was in an uproar. From the Sect Master's words, they could tell that the Star Crown Sect had agreed so quickly.
Shouldn't it have been a gradual process of holding meetings, arguing, and finally getting Dai Feng to agree to a series of unequal conditions before he reluctantly agrees?
Dai Feng was quite pleased. He was the one who least wanted things to drag on. No matter how powerful the Star Luo Empire was, it couldn't afford to drag this out any longer.
With all the powerful figures concentrated at the front lines, the rear was extremely vulnerable, and the entire imperial empire was being managed by the not-so-mature monarch Dai Weisi. If this dragged on, it would be a huge blow to the Star Luo Empire.
He looked at the Sect Master and slowly recited the request, or rather, the demand, that Tang San Luo Yi had brought with him when he came to see him earlier.
Tang San instructed them to launch a joint offensive against the Spirit Hall three days later, using fireworks as a signal. On the Star Luo Empire's side, they were to hold off or even defeat Golden Crocodile and his group.
"They said that if any of the titled warriors were sent to the Heaven Dou Battlefield to provide support, the war would be stopped immediately."
When Dai Feng revealed Tang San's plan, he also made his threat clear: without the two peerless warriors from the Heaven Dou Empire, their Star Luo Empire alone would definitely not be a match for the Spirit Hall.
This rudimentary plan caused Xu Mingxi, who was sitting below, to frown. Three days? That's way too rushed.
Logically speaking, Tang San should have wanted the war to drag on for as long as possible, so that he would have time to increase his strength and find an opportunity to kill the Spirit Hall in one blow.
Why is Tang San so eager to start a war now? He doesn't need to collect corpse energy like Bibi Dong.
Thinking of this, Xu Mingxi suddenly realized that Bibi Dong would definitely set up formations on the battlefield between the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire to collect the energy from the corpses and revive allies. He just didn't know how Tang San and the others would deal with it.
