Lin Ziyi tapped his fingers lightly on the chair as Xiao Pu solemnly inquired.

A moment later, under Xiao Pu's nervous gaze, Lin Ziyi suddenly revealed a gentle smile:

"No problem, I admire your ambition. However..."

"No 'however'!" Xiao Pu's face lit up with surprise:

"As long as you are willing to help me, I'm even willing to give you half of the Heaven Dou Empire's land!

"Of course, my promise to you is not as perfunctory as it was to the Martial Soul Hall.

"Because in my opinion, you are much more reliable than those hungry wolves from the Martial Soul Hall, and truly a person worth befriending!"

Listening to Xiao Pu's flattering words, Lin Ziyi smiled and waved his hand:

"Don't worry, I have no interest in governing a country, but I am curious about leading troops into battle.

"I don't ask for much, just grant me sufficient military power if necessary.

"Also, when I need funds or have other needs, please provide them for me.

"Of course, if you encounter trouble you can't solve, you can also notify me at any time.

"The way to notify me is... shout 'Praise the Mist' three times!"

Hearing the last sentence, Xiao Pu froze on the spot!

"Shouting 'Praise the Mist' three times will notify you? Could it be that you are..."

Xiao Pu didn't finish his sentence, but his voice trembled noticeably!

As the two auction sessions at the Misty Auction House concluded.

Both the reputation of the Misty Auction House and the publicly announced incantation gradually spread.

Xiao Pu, who was eager for talented individuals, had naturally heard the related news long ago, and had even tried shamefully reciting the incantation loudly.

However, reciting the incantation without having participated in an auction yields no effect.

Therefore, Xiao Pu naturally received no response...

Looking at Xiao Pu's disbelieving expression, Lin Ziyi smiled slightly, not denying it.

Ever since his identity was guessed by Bloody Mary, he had been wondering if he really needed to hide his identity.

Perhaps revealing it at the right time would be a good thing?

After all, besides Bloody Mary, Babitt probably guessed it before.

Although they didn't explicitly state it, Babitt now basically treated him like royalty!

So, appropriately revealing his true identity would definitely bring benefits.

But he couldn't let the King of Slaughter know, naturally because the King of Slaughter had a bad attitude towards him when he was at the auction house.

If the other party knew that the person in the black mist was just a Level 12 Soul Master, he might immediately send people to assassinate him!

It was even possible that he would act personally!

Therefore, unless it was someone he trusted implicitly, he would never reveal his identity to anyone.

And Xiao Pu before him was naturally trustworthy.

After all, the other party had revealed his own unspeakable plan to him completely, clearly trusting him implicitly.

And by letting him realize his true identity, it would not only increase his admiration but also make him more confident in investing in him.

After all, a big shot who owned a mysterious auction house and could make a Level 96 Super Douluo willingly bow down, would he still covet human territory?

Although Lin Ziyi did not actively admit his identity, his smile had already explained everything!

Xiao Pu suddenly stood up, placed his right hand on his left chest, and bowed respectfully:

"I, Xiao Pu, will wholeheartedly serve you... no, serve you, my lord!"

Lin Ziyi was very satisfied with Xiao Pu's respectful attitude.

He pressed his palm, signaling the other party to sit down again:

"You're welcome. From now on, you are still the noble His Highness, and I am just a small assistant by your side, understand?"

Looking at the rich smile on the young man's face, Xiao Pu naturally understood his meaning and immediately nodded:

"Understood!"

Lin Ziyi nodded with satisfaction and continued the previous topic:

"If the three issues I just raised can all be resolved, you will have at least a fifty percent chance of victory when you send out your troops!

"And I also need some time to make more thorough preparations, so that I can provide you with more help then."

Xiao Pu immediately nodded: "No problem, I'll do everything you say!"

Lin Ziyi pondered for a moment and then slowly said:

"I heard you say just now that you cooperated with the Martial Soul Hall? Then you are truly playing with fire.

"You intend to use their strength to counter the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but how could they not intend to send people to destroy your base when you send out your troops?"

"Those people from the Martial Soul Hall are probably less trustworthy than you are!"

Xiao Pu's expression changed. He suddenly felt that what the young man said made a lot of sense!

After all, there were no laws or regulations to bind his cooperation with the Martial Soul Hall.

Once he sent out his troops, the Martial Soul Hall might very well occupy the Barack Kingdom as the young man had said!

In that case, he would be caught between enemies, with no one on his side!

Thinking of this terrible consequence, Xiao Pu's expression immediately turned grave:

"Then what should we do? If we don't cooperate with the Martial Soul Hall, we won't be able to break through the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's defenses!"

Upon seeing Lin Ziyi's calm expression, Xiao Pu's anxious heart quickly settled.

Although he no longer had the support of the Martial Soul Hall, he now had the help of this person standing before him, who was comparable to a god.

Did he still need to fear a mere Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

As long as the other party was willing to help with all their might, let alone the Heaven Dou Empire, unifying the entire Douluo Continent would probably be within reach!

Looking at Xiao Pu gazing at him with fervent eyes, Lin Ziyi sighed helplessly.

He still needed to develop and grow his strength; he wasn't as invincible as the other party imagined.

Moreover, he wouldn't let Xiao Pu send out troops without thorough preparation.

"Don't worry. Since I promised to help you, I will definitely help you solve all your problems."

Lin Ziyi's words gave Xiao Pu more confidence:

"Let's put the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect aside for now. Have you contacted the other three kingdoms and the sole duchy?"

Xiao Pu shook his head slightly:

"Not yet, but I've been building good relationships with their kings and princes over the past few years.

"I plan to notify them just before the uprising.

"I don't ask them to take action, only that they don't interfere when I make my move."

Lin Ziyi nodded in approval:

"You've handled this well, but it's not enough!

"Although the combined military strength of the three kingdoms and one duchy might not be as strong as Barack's.

"But if we can get their help, it will at least greatly reduce the risk of trouble in our backyard.

"Even if possible, having them send a certain number of troops to the Barack Kingdom can effectively prevent the Martial Soul Hall from a flanking sneak attack!"

Hearing this, Xiao Pu's eyes lit up, but he immediately showed a wry smile:

"You're right, but the kings and princes of the other kingdoms are all very shrewd. Why would they easily agree to send troops?"

Lin Ziyi revealed an extremely confident smile:

"Leave this matter to me. You just need to give me a token of your identity and a letter of credence.

"I have a way to make them obediently agree to our terms!"
