Treating Xue Ye's illness?
Dugu Bo suddenly realized, "No wonder the once mediocre Prince Xue Qinghe transformed into a political genius overnight. I never imagined he didn't suddenly become enlightened, but rather that he 'changed completely'."
He abruptly changed the subject and chuckled, "I've already boarded your pirate ship. If you really become the Pope of the Spirit Hall someday, I'll be the Pope's brother. Let's see who dares to bare their teeth at me then."
Wu Qi laughed and said, "Alright, from now on I'll announce to the public that you're my brother."
"But old man, I've also prepared a senior care business for you. Would you like to hear about it?"
Having received an affirmative answer, he continued, "In the past, I incorporated the Wind, Water, and Fire Families. According to the arrangements of the Worship Hall, the three families are currently affiliated with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"They are, after all, my people. It wouldn't be appropriate to let them continue to stay in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"I plan to have you take the lead in establishing a sect. Of course, you only need to temporarily serve as the current Sect Master. In the future, I will arrange for someone else to take over the Sect Master."
"The establishment of a sect will inevitably require supporting industries. Soon, the Heaven Dou Empire will complete a power transition. That will be our opportunity."
Dugu Bo did not deny this point.
He originally thought that Wu Qi had no chance of competing for the Pope Position, so he planned to let him develop his own power outside and become a bargaining chip in the power struggle among the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall.
Plans can't keep up with changes. Wu Qi has now been established as the Pope's successor, and he simply won't have time to manage a sect in the future.
However, the plan is already halfway through and cannot be abandoned halfway.
According to Wu Qi's plan, the Wind, Water, and Fire Families would be integrated first, the Elephant Armor Sect would be driven out of Element City, and Element City would be used as the base for the sect.
In addition, Wu Qi will also try to win over the Three Single-Attribute Clans.
He doesn't care much for these three families now. He only brought them over because he didn't want them to become Tang San's vassals and strengthen the latter's power.
Dugu Bo agreed, "The servility of the Strength Clan is ingrained in their bones; it's right not to win them over. However, the other three major clans have also suffered persecution from your Spirit Hall in the past. Are you sure you can win them over?"
Wu Qi had two methods to win over Yang Wudi.
One is the Aromatic Silk Beauty, and the second is his brother Yang Wu Shuang.
Yang Wu Shuang did not die, but was captured by the Spirit Hall.
At first, the Spirit Hall's attempts to win him over were unsuccessful; this guy was stubborn and would rather die than submit.
Later, he couldn't resist the allure of power and beautiful women and eventually succumbed to temptation.
Yang Wu Shuang is now Soul Douluo within the Spirit Hall. Although losing his inner edge has severely damaged his combat power, it doesn't prevent him from continuing to level up.
As the chief Pharmacist of the Spirit Hall, Yang Wu Shuang has made many great contributions and naturally receives more Cultivation resources.
In this way, they can ensure the capture of Yang Wudi's Breaking Clan. As for the Min and Yu clans, they are of little help to the Spirit Hall.
The Spirit Hall has an intelligence network that spans the entire continent, so it doesn't need to rely on the Speed Clan's abilities. As for the Defense Clan's construction skills, the Spirit Hall has no shortage of them.
"Old man, I'll handle the rest of the negotiations with the Three Single-Attribute Clans myself when I have time."
"Your main task is to cooperate with the Three Elements Family to drive out the Elephant Armor Sect and annex Thunder Academy."
Dugu Bo laughed, "I knew what you were thinking all along. So, the day after the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was destroyed, I had already arranged for the three elemental families to divide up Thunder Academy."
Meanwhile, at the Shrek Academy...
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were, after all, members of the Star Luo Imperial Family. The Two Great Empires already had Passage Documents, so the two entered the territory of Heaven Dou City without any hindrance.
Dai Mubai immediately went to the place he had arranged to meet Yu Tianheng. But unfortunately, he did not see Yu Tianheng.
In fact, Yu Tianheng was no longer in the mood to care about anything else. The destruction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had dealt him a heavy blow; how could he possibly remember his promise to Dai Mubai?
However, Dai Mubai's main purpose for this trip was to meet Tang San and Yu Tianheng; it was just icing on the cake.
At this moment, at Tang San's invitation, Tailong and Taila, two members of the Shrek Seven Devils, have arrived at the Wooden House.
A group of people sat around a wooden table, discussing something.
Yu Xiaogang and Yu Tianheng, uncle and nephew, are still reeling from the destruction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
However, Tailong and Taila brought some major news.
"Third Young Master, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe is searching the continent for renowned physicians to treat Xue Ye's illness. Our Strength Clan's investigation has revealed that many of these physicians are Healing-Type Spirit Master dispatched by the Spirit Hall."
"They disguised themselves as physicians to enter the Heaven Dou Palace, and recently, Xue Qinghe has been getting very close to the people from the Spirit Hall."
Hearing that their enemies were making a move, Yu Xiaogang immediately joined the conversation, "Damn the Spirit Hall, they must be trying to use Xue Ye's serious illness as an excuse to force Xue Qinghe to submit."
Sparks seemed to fly from Yu Xiaogang's eyes, and he was panting heavily.
Tang San quickly comforted him, "Teacher, calm down. Things might not be so bad."
Yu Xiaogang's guess was not without reason, but Tang San believed that Xue Qinghe was a person with her own opinions and would not be so easily subdued.
Tailong said anxiously, "Third Young Master, the Empire governs the world with filial piety, and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe is a universally acknowledged filial son."
"Even if he can hold out for a while, how can he maintain his bottom line when faced with the Spirit Hall's persistent cajoling and Xue Ye's worsening condition?"
Suddenly remembering something, Liu Erlong said, "Little San, don't you know medicine?"
After calming down, Yu Xiaogang quickly said, "Yes, Little San, since you know medicine, why don't you go to the Imperial Palace to treat Xue Ye?"
"If we can heal Xue Ye first, the Spirit Hall's conspiracy will fail. We will also owe the Heaven Dou Empire a favor, giving us a chance to concentrate our forces and overthrow the Spirit Hall in the future!"
Tang San has Tang Yuehua behind him.
Moonlight Pavilion has a great reputation in the entire noble circle of the Heaven Dou Empire. If Tang Yuehua intervenes, Tang San will definitely have a chance to enter the Imperial Palace.
However, Xue Qinghe had long suspected his identity.
If he didn't actively expose himself, would Xue Qinghe dare to let someone of unknown background enter Xue Ye's palace?
Similarly, no one knows whether Xue Qinghe has accepted the Spirit Hall's offer of a hand. If he were to reveal his identity, wouldn't he be walking into the lion's den?
Tang San hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll go talk to my aunt about it, but for now, let's wait for Mu Bai and Xiao Ao."
"Given the current situation on the mainland, we, the Shrek Seven Devils, must unite to overcome this challenge."
As he spoke, Liu Erlong suddenly smiled, "Little San, they've arrived. Let's go pick them up."
