"The discarded son of the Star Luo imperial family... It seemed that after leaving, he entered Slaughter City. But the Star Luo Empire's death row was no simple place. Escaping it wouldn't have been easy. Someone must have helped him. If my guess is correct, that person was Dai Lingfeng, wasn't it?"
Murong Huai speculated. Hearing this, Gui Mei nodded. "Yes, Dai Lingfeng was indeed the one who rescued him. Because of that, Scorpion Tiger has always owed him a favor and gave him a Magic Tiger Token, allowing him to make him do one thing unconditionally."
"Heh heh, Dai Lingfeng truly was something else. He was only in his teens back then, wasn't he? To possess such scheming at that age... As expected of someone who emerged victorious from the Star Luo imperial family's brutal succession war. How could he possibly be an ordinary man?"
The Star Luo Empire's succession wars were exceptionally brutal. There was no inheritance by seniority, nor any talk of choosing the worthy over the eldest or the eldest over the worthy. Once all princes came of age, each would be given some troops, and they would fight. Either one-on-one or in a massive melee—the one who survived in the end became Crown Prince.

Star Luo might produce tyrants, but it would never produce incompetent rulers. Founded on martial power, its military strength nearly crushed that of the Heaven Dou Empire. If Spirit Hall had not stood between them to keep both sides
