"We're returning to the Imperial Capital!"
"What? Your Highness, if we return to the Imperial Capital now, wouldn't that be suicide? Dai Weisi's men have been hunting us all along."
Su Xiong's pupils immediately contracted. "Wouldn't going back now be walking straight into a trap?"
He did not understand why Dai Mubai would make such a decision at a time like this.
"But look."
Dai Mubai looked at the corpses on the ground. Some belonged to Yang Family Members, while others belonged to the White Tiger Legion.
"These people are all from the White Tiger Legion. You know that the White Tiger Legion has always been the Star Luo Empire's most loyal guardian."
"They are all part of the Star Luo Empire's strength. Every force Dai Weisi has mobilized also belongs to the Star Luo Empire."
"I don't want the Star Luo Empire's strength to be wasted like this."
Dai Mubai spoke calmly.
He also did not want so many innocent people to die again.
They were all his people.
Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward and held his hand, giving him every bit of encouragement she could.
Dai Mubai took a deep breath and continued, "Return to the Imperial Capital! Begin the Throne Succession War!"
"This... Your Highness, this subordinate vows to defend Your Highness unto death."
Dai Mubai's words successfully convinced Su Xiong. Who would not like an emperor who cared about his soldiers?
He no longer tried to dissuade Dai Mubai.
He merely swore his loyalty to Dai Mubai.
"Hahaha! Looks like we'll be fighting again?"
Yang Wudi, standing nearby, appeared both carefree and fervent.
"No."
Dai Mubai shook his head. There were Yang Family Members' corpses on the ground as well.
"We have only one objective: the Throne Succession War. There is no need for any other unnecessary fighting."
"Su Xiong, just take Zhuqing and me back to the Imperial Capital."
Imperial Capital
"What? Dai Mubai is actually this powerful?"
Upon receiving the latest news, Dai Weisi was utterly shocked.
He simply could not believe it.
Dai Mubai had actually killed so many Soul Emperors!
One had to know that Dai Mubai was only a Soul Ancestor.
He was only 15 Years Old!
With such strength, if he participated in the Throne Succession War, then...
Dai Weisi simply could not believe this news.
It was far too absurd!
However, the person standing before Dai Weisi was none other than General Divine Eagle!
The one who had gone to assassinate Dai Mubai!
General Divine Eagle had not spread the news, evidently afraid of causing an uproar.
At present, Dai Weisi was the only one who knew of it.
"Your Highness."
General Divine Eagle slowly spoke.
Dai Weisi looked at General Divine Eagle.
He knew what General Divine Eagle meant.
Neither of them had any way out now.
If others learned that Dai Mubai was actually so outstanding...
Then Dai Weisi would be cast aside directly.
Everything he currently enjoyed would also be stripped away!
"Ah! This Dai Mubai! Why won't he just obediently die?! Why?!"
A roar suddenly burst from Dai Weisi's mouth.
His heart was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
And also...
Afraid!
Suddenly, Dai Weisi stepped forward and grabbed General Divine Eagle's hand.
"Your Highness..."
General Divine Eagle froze.
"General Divine Eagle, I know you still know quite a few Soul Douluos, right? You... go tell those Soul Douluos!"
"Tell them that I'm willing to pay any price. Money, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures—whatever they want, I, Dai Weisi, have it! Ask them to kill Dai Mubai!"
Dai Weisi glared fiercely at the general before him, speaking in an almost deranged tone.
"You have no way out now. Neither do I. You know that too, don't you?"
Once General Divine Eagle's assassination of Prince was exposed, it might not be much of a problem for him, but General Divine Eagle would certainly die.
His only choice now was to kill Dai Mubai!
"Rest assured... Your Highness, I understand. I'll do everything in my power."
General Divine Eagle took a deep breath.
Dai Weisi's method was currently the only one.
To deal with Dai Mubai...
They needed at least four Soul Douluos. Anything less would not be enough!
General Divine Eagle rose to his feet. He intended to help Dai Weisi recruit more Soul Douluos.
Meanwhile, Dai Weisi sat in his seat.
News of Dai Mubai weighed upon Dai Weisi like dark clouds.
No!
At this rate...
It still might not be enough!
Dai Weisi's eyes flickered.
At that moment, Dai Weisi suddenly recalled how Spirit Hall had once tried to recruit him...
He had not agreed at the time, because he sensed that Spirit Hall harbored great ambitions, and this was precisely what his imperial father truly detested.
His imperial father might say nothing about brothers killing each other. He might even be pleased by it.
But if he colluded with outsiders, his imperial father would certainly have him executed.
If his imperial father learned that he had colluded with Spirit Hall...
At this thought, fear rose in Dai Weisi's heart once more.
It was not that he was timid. To him, that man had become someone who made him nervous whenever he thought of him—an existence of absolute authority.
Before the Star Luo Emperor, he was as fearful as a cub facing a tiger.
But... he had no way out now.
Dai Weisi gritted his teeth.
He slowly stood and walked toward the door.
He would seek aid from Spirit Hall!
It did not matter who it was, as long as they could kill Dai Mubai.
He was the future Star Luo Emperor. What did he have to fear?
With a trace of madness in his heart, he feared not even losing all reason.
Madness was addictive; it gave people confidence.
The corners of Dai Weisi's lips curled upward, his aura brimming with sinister energy.
The Star Luo Emperor could only be him!
