Your Majesty, Shall We Enjoy the Show Here?

"Sami, before I leave, spit out everything you've swallowed over the years."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Sami's steps halted. His expression was conflicted, and after a long struggle, he finally forced out a reply.

Money was merely an external possession. Sami was already satisfied to be able to stay alive under His Highness's hand.

"Mo Chen, aren't you afraid Sami will secretly report to the one in the royal palace?"

"If he dares report it, that will be the perfect excuse to clean out all these parasites."

Confidence born of strength meant that Qian Mochen did not care in the slightest whether Sami tried to play any tricks.

"Your Highness, this old man has arrived. Whom does Your Highness intend to kill?"

Not long after Sami left, Dugu Bo knocked on the door from outside.

"Senior Dugu, I need you to provide a Poison Pill that can control the onset of poison without being detected by inspection."

Qian Mochen opened the door and ushered Dugu Bo inside, speaking bluntly.

"That's easy! This old man can now create a Gu Insect that only I can cure!"

Dugu Bo immediately concocted the poison on the spot. Moments later, he handed a green pill to Qian Mochen and reminded him, "Your Highness, the pill contains a brand-new Gu Insect I have cultivated during this period. Once it enters the body, it will lie dormant."

"Without the medicine I provide each month to suppress it, the Gu Insect will awaken and devour the host's flesh and blood."

"Good! I believe the Star Luo Emperor will greatly enjoy this gift."

"Your Highness, you did not summon me here merely for this, did you?"

"Of course not." Qian Mochen nodded. "The White Tiger Sect relied on its backing from the Star Luo Empire and actually dared to forcibly seize Spirit Hall's possessions, even causing over twenty casualties on Spirit Hall's side. I will not let this slide so easily!"

"Senior Dugu, I need you to follow Sami, the Platinum Bishop of the branch hall, later. If he follows my instructions, you need only strike against the White Tiger Sect and slow their Soul Power cultivation for ten years, then cause it to stagnate after those ten years."

"If Sami is dishonest, wipe out all his people. Once the matter is done, you will receive one hundred Merit Points."

"This matter is simple!"

Dugu Bo agreed with a smile. Seeing that Qian Mochen was in a good mood, he thought for a moment before saying, "Your Highness, my only son wishes to join Spirit Hall. I wonder what procedures the hall has?"

"Just go to the nearest branch hall to register and obtain an identity token."

When Dugu Bo mentioned his only son, Qian Mochen thought of Dugu Yan, who had not yet been born at this time.

Dugu Yan's talent was quite good as well, making her suitable for recruitment into Spirit Hall.

Besides Dugu Yan, there were many undiscovered geniuses across the continent. Ye Lingling of the Ye Family, with a Martial Soul like the Nine-Leaf Begonia—even he coveted it. Then there were the Zhu Family sisters, Zhu Qing and Zhu Zhuyun. It would be a waste of their talent if the Dai Family were allowed to ruin them.

Once these little geniuses were born, they all had to come to him so they could receive the best training!

Dugu Bo left behind the method for activating the Gu Insect, then considerately departed the room and even pulled the door shut behind him.

"When are we going to find the Star Luo Emperor?"

"No rush. Let's wait for news from Sami first."

Bibi Dong was somewhat curious. "Mo Chen, having Dugu Bo strike against the White Tiger Sect is practically the same as ruining several generations of the Dai Family. Aren't you afraid the Star Luo Emperor will directly flip the table?"

Qian Mochen picked Bibi Dong up and placed her on his lap, his fingers playing with her soft hair as he chuckled. "He won't dare."

"Star Luo Empire's hundreds of thousands of troops cannot do anything to Dugu Bo. Even if the Star Luo Emperor and his empress use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they can at most approach the strength of a Super Douluo."

"Besides, the Heaven Dou Empire has always been eyeing the Star Luo Empire greedily. If the Star Luo Empire rashly declares war on Spirit Hall and loses more than a tenth of its strength, Xue Ye of Heaven Dou Empire will make his move the moment he catches the scent."

"Moreover, the people in the White Tiger Sect are all branches of the Dai Family. I am merely helping the Star Luo Emperor prune those wildly growing branches. Though their strength will be crippled for several generations, their bloodline remains. They can spend a few more years raising another generation."

Sami returned to his room and immediately gathered all his trusted subordinates. He looked at everyone solemnly. "His Highness has given an order: retaliate against the White Tiger Sect!"

"However many people the White Tiger Sect injured from Spirit Hall, we will make them pay double!"

"Hall Master, but the White Tiger Sect has two more Soul Sages than we do." Someone hesitated for a few seconds before speaking up to remind him.

"As if I don't know that!"

Sami shot the speaker a glare. "I will hold off the White Tiger Sect's two Soul Douluos. You must kill your own opponents as quickly as possible!"

"Hall Master, then will His Highness's side be able to act when the time comes?"

"His Highness needs to intimidate the tiger in the royal palace."

Sami waved his hand. "Go prepare. We depart in half an hour. At midnight, we will strike the White Tiger Sect directly!"

"Yes!"

This time, Sami mobilized every soul master in the Star Luo branch hall above Soul Ancestor rank, over a hundred people in total. Under cover of night, they left Star Luo City in batches and slipped into the uninhabited mountain forests. Soon, the group assembled atop a cliff outside the White Tiger Sect.

"Hall Master, everyone is here!"

"Good!"

Sami took out a map. It detailed the residences of every elder within the White Tiger Sect, the locations of core personnel, the material warehouses...

Though Sami had called the White Tiger Sect's people brothers for all these years, he had not been idling away his time. He had long since investigated every vital point within the White Tiger Sect.

"The White Tiger Sect's two Soul Douluos are both in the deepest part of the sect. I will act first and lure those two Soul Douluos away. Wang Tie, you and the others hold back the enemy's Soul Emperors and above. Everyone else, your first priority is to go to the material warehouses and retrieve all the supplies we lost, then regroup with Wang Tie and the others!"

"Memorize your respective routes of action!"

"Yes!"

While Sami and the others discussed their plans, none of them knew that on the far side of the cliff, a Titled Douluo had been silently watching them the entire time.

As soon as midnight arrived, Sami charged into the skies above the White Tiger Sect. The pressure of a Soul Douluo instantly enveloped the entire White Tiger Sect.

Some lower-cultivation disciples of the Dai Family were jolted awake from their sleep, coughing up blood and collapsing onto the ground.

"Thief, you seek death!"

"What audacity!"

The White Tiger Sect's only two Soul Douluos immediately locked onto the enemy in the sky. After roaring in anger, they stepped through the air and flew straight toward Sami.

Sami led the two men toward the distant barren mountains. Once they arrived, none of the three held back any longer.

Two hundred-meter giant tigers surrounded Sami. Facing two opponents of the same rank, Sami did not dare hold back either and revealed his Martial Soul Avatar.

"Sami! You actually dare attack my White Tiger Sect!"

The White Tiger Sect's two elders recognized Sami at a glance, and the anger in their hearts surged even higher.

"Hmph, it was your White Tiger Sect that attacked Spirit Hall first!"

As soon as the words fell, the three colossal figures clashed directly. The forests across a radius of a thousand meters were obliterated by the attacks, the earth cracked apart, and the powerful tremors spread to nearby Star Luo City.

In the royal palace, the Star Luo Emperor sensed the disturbance and was just about to act when a voice sounded from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, shall we enjoy the show here?"
