Persuasion
News travels very slowly in the Douluo Continent. By the time Dai Feng of the Star Luo Imperial Palace learned of the Spirit Hall Empire's attack on the Star Crown Sect, the battle there had already ended.
After sending someone to inquire about the situation, he stayed in the Star Luo Imperial Palace to accompany Xu Mingjie in handling official business, while also waiting for Xu Mingxi's return.
Dai Feng was in a terrible mood. He knew very well that the Star Crown Sect valued its sect and family so much that they would not let the matter go so easily after the Mountain Gate was completely destroyed and dozens of clansmen were killed or injured.
However, the Spirit Hall Empire is powerful, with two peerless experts, Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong, and its core forces include Golden Crocodile and Qianjun and Jiangmo Subduing. Even if the Star Luo Empire manages to win, its own losses will be extremely heavy.
He glanced at Xu Mingjie, who was sitting opposite him, swiping through memorials from various places. He hesitated, looking at Xu Mingjie with a strange expression. Xu Mingjie happened to see all of this.
"White Tiger Duke, I know you are worried about the Star Luo Empire, but our Star Crown Sect must avenge this grudge."
Moreover, His Majesty has surely made thorough preparations, so you can rest assured. When the time comes, you can see what my Star Crown Sect has prepared before trying to stop him.
What to prepare? What can reduce the casualties of the Star Luo Empire soldiers on the battlefield?
Dai Feng was completely baffled, but he could only choose to believe it. In any case, he had no say in the matter now, as most of the power in the Star Luo Empire now belonged to the Star Crown Sect.
Now, the Chen Family has fled to the Heaven Dou Empire with the Mu Family, Zhao and Qian Families have been ruined with only two family heads left. The strength of the Soto Grand Soul Arena has collapsed instantly.
The entire Star Luo Empire is now divided into two large power groups: one is the old Star Luo Empire nobles led by White Tiger Duke.
The other is the original Heaven Dou Empire's forces, led by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and supported by the Star Dou Academy and the Suo Family and Li Family.
This force has essentially sided with the Star Crown Sect. Coupled with the Star Crown Sect's formidable strength and the popular support won over by the Star God Hall in various regions, the Star Luo Empire is no longer under the control of these old nobles.
Moreover, it's not like there aren't people among the old nobles who have defected to the Star Crown Sect. Dai Feng alone has noticed several, and even the Nether Duke has visited several times under the guise of seeing his daughter.
"White Tiger Duke, you can rest assured. This time, our Star Crown Sect will mobilize most of its forces to take down the Spirit Hall Empire in one fell swoop."
As Dai Feng lowered his eyes in thought, he suddenly heard a familiar voice. He abruptly raised his head and finally saw the man he had been longing for day and night.
"Your Majesty, you've finally returned?"
As soon as he stood up, Dai Feng keenly sensed a Soul Master approaching and turned to look in the direction of the palace gate.
Led by Xu Chunxing, the Star Crown Sect Master, a dozen or so Titled Douluo filed in, each radiating a powerful aura.
There were a few of them whose imposing presence made even a Level 95 Super Douluo like him feel a sense of pressure, and his body tensed up.
Unbeknownst to him, Dai Feng dropped open. Even though he had expected it, he still couldn't help but be shocked when the strength of the Star Crown Sect was displayed before him.
What sect can have more than a dozen Titled Douluo? That's a bit too outrageous.
Furthermore, what's the deal with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo? When did these two of Bibi Dong's henchmen join the Star Crown Sect, and why are they so much stronger?
The Sect Master nodded to Xu Mingxi, walked up to White Tiger Duke, and, representing the Star Crown Sect and the old Heaven Dou forces, made it clear that they would definitely launch a war against the Spirit Hall Empire.
"White Tiger Duke, it's been a long time. In this war against the Spirit Hall Empire, all of us Titled Douluo will be mobilized, determined to completely annihilate it."
Furthermore, we've brought a batch of weapons and equipment this time, enough to give our soldiers a significant advantage on the battlefield and reduce casualties.
Under Dai Hao's questioning gaze, the Sect Master gave a look to the First Elder, who insisted on coming along because he was the only Level 8 Soul Engineer in the sect.
The First Elder coughed and stepped out from the crowd. With a wave of his hand, numerous Soul Tool appeared neatly inside the palace.
From level one to level seven, from defensive Soul Tool to long-range Soul Tool, everything is available.
"White Tiger Duke, you may not have seen these things before. I'll demonstrate them for you at the training ground later. That should put your mind at ease."
The First Elder proudly raised his head. Ever since he was chased by a group of Soul Douluo in Sun Moon because of his Soul Tool, he had become obsessed with it.
Now he's a huge fan of Soul Tool, spending his days either researching Soul Tool with the Divine Craftsman Lou Gao or on his way to find him.
At this moment, Dai Feng's eyes were wide open. He had never seen these Soul Tool before, but he had seen things similar to them.
The Star Luo Empire ruled this land for tens of thousands of years. As the royal family, the Dai Family had all sorts of good things. They also unearthed quite a few Soul Tool from the ruins, but they were clearly not as high-level as those brought out by the Star Crown Sect.
If a large number of Soul Tool could be used to arm the Star Luo Empire's army, their combat power would increase exponentially, and casualties from long-range attacks would be greatly reduced.
Dai Feng looked at the First Elder with excitement, his eyes filled with hope. If anyone cared most about the Star Luo Empire, he was definitely number one.
"Are these Soul Tool? How powerful are they? How many are there? Can they arm the Star Luo Empire's army?"
"White Tiger Duke, don't worry. This is indeed Soul Tool. The most powerful ones can unleash attacks at the Soul Saint level."
You don't need to worry about the numbers either. Before the Spirit Hall Empire invaded the Heaven Dou Empire, we had already recruited a large number of blacksmiths from Gengxin City.
After so many years of preparation, arming several Soul Tool Master Legion is a piece of cake.
Hearing this, Dai Feng was excited but also a little resentful. The blacksmiths of Gengxin City had started disappearing one after another many years ago, and at the time he thought it was the Spirit Hall Empire that was responsible.
It now seems that the Star Crown Sect, which has always lived in seclusion, had indeed harbored treacherous intentions and planned to usurp the throne many years ago.
However, as the former Star Luo Emperor, he hid his emotions well and walked towards the training ground with the First Elder, chatting and laughing, intending to see the power of these Soul Tool with his own eyes.
The rest of the group, led by their attendants, went to a branch hall to rest temporarily, leaving only the Xu Mingxi brothers inside.
Seeing that no one was around, Xu Mingxi stopped pretending and plopped down on the throne of the Star Luo Emperor, with a soft, precious fur cushion under her bottom.
"Little brother, how have you been lately? Has anything major happened in the Star Luo Empire? Has White Tiger Duke given you any trouble?"
