Sea Horse Douluo took the bait

"Since you're all here, there's no need for you to leave." Wu Qi's gaze was indifferent.

The collusion between Evil Spirit Master and high-ranking officials will inevitably lead to the deaths of countless people.

In Tang San's words, these people were already Way to Die.

"I've said it before, anyone who wants to block my path should first consider whether they have the strength. If they don't, then they should be prepared to be killed."

"Since you're all so eager to die, then stay here."

One of the nobles sneered, "So what if you're Titled Douluo? This time we can send out a full..."

Before he could finish speaking, nine Soul Ring appeared beneath Wu Qi's feet: red, red, red, red, red, red, cyan-gold, red, and brilliant gold.

The color of Soul Ring can be faked, but the aura Soul Ring from it cannot.

These nine Soul Ring were all genuine, and the oppressive aura they exuded caused the world to change color.

In the distance, Xu Chen and Elder Huo, who witnessed all of this, were stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

After a short while, Crown Prince Xu Chen asked, "Elder Huo, how could one person possess so many Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring? Could these Soul Ring be fake?"

Elder Huo shook his head, "The Soul Ring are all genuine, and the oppressive aura of those cyan-gold and brilliant -Golden Soul Ring far surpasses that of Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring."

"Your Crown Prince, you guessed correctly. This person must be Level 99 Limit Douluo, or even higher. It's a pity that everyone has their own ambitions. If he could stay and assist Your Highness, the unification of the continent would be just around the corner."

Wu Qingtian's career Soul Master had just begun, and he might not understand what Wu Qi's Soul Ring Configuration meant, but Zhao Chenggong understood it perfectly.

Because the overall strength of Soul Master on the Sun Moon Continent is relatively weak, and because of the existence of the Evil Eye Tyrant clan in the Evil Demon Forest, it is extremely difficult to hunt high-age Soul Beast.

Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring is something I wouldn't even dare to dream of; it only exists in legends.

Now that the legend has become reality, Zhao Chenggong has mixed feelings, and at the same time has gained a completely new understanding of Wu Qi's strength.

"Ninth Soul Skill, Sea Tide!"

In an instant, a vast expanse of seawater appeared out of nowhere, engulfing the entire Royal Academy.

With Wu Qi's Spiritual Power, he had already marked everyone in the academy with his Spiritual Power. Innocent people would naturally not be affected by the Sea Tide, and could even accelerate their cultivation within it.

The specially marked Evil Spirit Master and assassins quickly drowned in the seawater, their bodies being washed away by an invisible force and gradually dissolving.

A strong feeling of suffocation overwhelmed them; they struggled frantically but couldn't make a sound.

Wu Qi withdrew his gaze and said, "Let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he casually flicked his wrist, and an invisible Soul Power pulled Wu Qingtian's body, sending him flying into the distance.

Zhao Chenggong slung his soul guide backpack over his shoulder, took to the air, and caught up with Wu Qi's pace.

In the distance, Crown Prince Xu Chen's men belatedly realized that by the time they arrived at the academy, the assassins and Evil Spirit Master had already been killed, leaving not even a corpse behind.

A Summit Mingdu City.

Zhao Chenggong took one last look at the outline of Mingdu, then turned around without looking back. "Sir, where are we going next?"

Wu Qi gestured for the other party not to rush, then turned his gaze to Wu Qingtian, "What are your thoughts? Will you return to Sea Plunder City to continue your life, or stay in Mingdu?"

"I can leave the carriage to you; you can be Carriage Driver, carrying passengers here and there, at least enough to make a living. Or come with me and start a new life."

Wu Qingtian had no parents and no ties on this continent.

Meeting an "elder brother" like Wu Qi was undoubtedly a blessing he had accumulated over many lifetimes.

Without a second thought, he accepted the invitation. "Wu Ge, I'll go wherever you go."

Wu Qi nodded slightly, then said, "Let's go. My friend won't arrive for another day. Let's go to a nearby city and wait for him."

The journey to the Sun Moon Continent has ended. Finding Zhao Chenggong, a Level Seven Soul Master, is more useful than any blueprint.

If the other party is willing to teach the technology of Soul Tool, Wu Qi believes that the Spirit Hall can cultivate a group of talents in Soul Tool in a short period of time. Then, these people can train students, and it won't take many years for the Soul Tool Technology to take root and flourish in the Douluo Continent.

Meanwhile, Heaven Dou City.

Sea Horse Douluo had only been in contact with Xue Qinghe for a little over a month, yet in such a short time, he had become Xue Qinghe's favorite.

Dugu Bo and Ning Fengzhi each had their own sect affairs to handle, and they had to consider the interests of their respective sects when doing things, so they couldn't be completely unreserved.

In contrast, Sea Horse Douluo was almost all alone, without any ties, and served as the Empire's White Glove on numerous occasions.

That evening, Duke Connor invited Sea Horse Douluo to his mansion for a chat.

Duke Connor wielded immense power in the empire; aside from Ning Fengzhi, the Imperial Tutor, he held the highest official position.

Of course, the political landscape of the Heaven Dou Empire Imperial Court has changed significantly, now firmly controlled by the Spirit Hall. It is difficult for anyone outside the Spirit Hall to hold an important position.

Duke Connor not only joined the Spirit Hall early on, but is also the only person currently in charge of affairs in the Heaven Dou Empire.

After all, Xue Qinghe was just a stand-in and had no political experience. With so many affairs in the empire, it was impossible for Ning Fengzhi to handle them all by himself. It was in this environment that Duke Connor was promoted all the way up.

It can be said that within the Heaven Dou Empire, if there is anything Duke Connor doesn't know, no one else will either!

At the dinner table, the two men were toasting each other, already showing signs of intoxication.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Duke Connor dismissed the maid, put his arm around Sea Horse Douluo's shoulder, and said, "Brother Sea Horse, although the Empire does not have the position of Prime Minister, I will act as one."

"It's not that I'm particularly capable, but rather the trust my colleagues and His Majesty, Brother Sea Horse."

This is no ordinary drink; even Titled Douluo would need some time to eliminate the alcohol from his body.

Due to the alcohol, Sea Horse Douluo's consciousness was somewhat hazy, but upon hearing Duke Connor's words, he immediately understood their meaning.

Duke Connor's words made it clear that the sudden appearance of Sea Horse Douluo had somewhat affected his position in the Imperial Court.

We'll share this golden cup with you; if Sea Horse Douluo continues like this, then the two sides will have no choice but to fight to the death.

Sea Horse Douluo chuckled and said, "Duke Grace, my dear brother, I, Ou Ya, am merely a newcomer. How dare I stir up trouble in the Imperial Court, or harm you!"

"Since you've made your point clear, I, Ou Ya, hereby declare that I will unconditionally support Duke Connor in Imperial Court."

Upon hearing this, Duke Connor's expression softened, and he pulled Sea Horse Douluo to continue drinking.

Next, the two talked more deeply, Duke Connor's mention of the Imperial Family Treasury made Sea Horse Douluo feel anxious.

He Sea God's Great Circle he needed was most likely in the Imperial Family treasury. He'd heard that Duke Connor had been inside managing the treasures, and his mind immediately started racing.
