My System in Douluo Is Simply Too Awesome, Chapter 115
Bai Ye pondered for a moment, then frowned and replied.
Chapter 205 Heading to the Star Luo Empire, Reuniting with Zhu Zhuyun
"Whether she can become the Empress of the Star Luo Empire is not important. You just need to tell her that the Heaven Dou Empire intends to join forces with our Spirit Hall to conquer the continent, and they have made a promise."
"If both sides can successfully conquer the entire continent, then the Heaven Dou Empire will establish our Spirit Hall as its state religion. That should be enough to convince her."
"And you gave her and the Nether Duke's Mansion a chance in the past. If the Nether Duke's Mansion could abandon its darkness and embrace the light at the right time, it would help us conquer the Star Luo Empire."
"Then, once we conquer the Star Luo Empire, the Nether Duke's Mansion can maintain its current status. Moreover, out of respect for the Nether Duke's Mansion's Mansion, we will not completely eliminate the Star Luo Imperial Family, but only weaken them, allowing their status to be swapped with that of the Star Luo Imperial Family."
"But if the Nether Duke's Mansion doesn't abandon its evil ways and embrace the light, then after we conquer the Star Luo Empire, we will slaughter the entire Nether Duke's Mansion and the Star Luo Imperial Family!"
"Basically, it was all about coercion and enticement."
"Although the Heaven Dou Empire's national strength is not as great as their Star Luo Empire, with the addition of our Spirit Hall, our combined strength is more than enough to crush the Star Luo Empire."
"If Zhu Zhuyun or the Nether Duke's Mansion knew about your coercion and enticement, they would absolutely not dare to underestimate it, nor would they dare to tell the Star Luo Imperial Family."
"Once we complete the Soul Hunting Operation, officially join forces with the Heaven Dou Empire, and begin our attack on their Star Luo Empire, they will naturally make the right choice."
Looking at Bai Ye, Bibi Dong smiled faintly and said.
"I see."
Bai Ye thought for a moment and nodded.
"While whether or not we can win over the Nether Duke's Mansion won't affect the outcome of our Spirit Hall's unification of the Nether Duke's Mansion, it would reduce many unnecessary losses and casualties. That's a good thing, and I'll head over there immediately."
However, as he was preparing to leave, Bai Ye seemed to remember something and couldn't help but say something.
"By the way! Sister Dong'er, can the Soul Hunting Operation Soul Hunting Operation until I get back? I'd like to participate in it, and I actually have some of my own thoughts on Soul Hunting Operation."
After speaking, Bai Ye pondered for a moment, organized his thoughts, and then said...
"Actually, I think that in this Soul Hunting Operation, we don't need to wipe out all the forces in the Soul Master World that pose a threat to our Spirit Hall."
"We definitely need to deal with sects like the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect."
"But the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is a support-type Soul Master sect. I feel we could actually recruit them. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is part of the Heaven Dou Empire, isn't it?"
"While the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might not agree to Xue'er's proposal for the Heaven Dou Empire to cooperate with our Spirit Hall, they probably just think that cooperating with our Spirit Hall is like seeking help from a tiger."
"However, there are quite a few ways to persuade him, such as a marriage alliance."
"Of course! More importantly, I have something here that is absolutely attractive to Ning Fengzhi. I believe that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will definitely not be an obstacle for us in order to obtain it."
In the end, Bai Ye couldn't help but smile confidently.
What is that?
Bibi Dong was somewhat curious.
"Hehe, I'll tell you all about that when I get back, Sister Dong'er. I'm going to the Star Luo Empire first!"
Bai Ye smiled, stepped forward, gently kissed Bibi Dong on the cheek, waved, and strode away from the Pope's Palace's study.
Only in the study remained Bibi Dong, covering her face and lightly spitting, her pretty face still slightly flushed, her thoughts once again immersed in the days she spent with Bai Ye more than ten years ago.
After leaving the Pope's Palace.
Bai Ye directly summoned the God-Slaying Sword Spirit, and after activating his fourth Soul Skill: Sword Control Technique, he stepped on the enlarged God-Slaying Sword Spirit and shot into the sky like a streak of light, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Spirit City is located on the border of the Star Luo Empire, and is not far from the Star Luo Imperial City.
Bai Ye, riding the God-Slaying Sword Spirit, rushed towards the Star Luo Imperial City Star Luo Imperial City, arriving in less than a day.
This speed is definitely faster than airplanes in my previous life!
After arriving at Star Luo Imperial City, Bai Ye asked for directions and quickly learned the location of the Nether Duke's Mansion. He then prepared to go find Zhu Zhuyun.
However, upon arriving near the Nether Duke's Mansion, Bai Ye did not go directly there. Instead, he used the Thousand Illusions Shifting Form to change his identity in a small alley.
Yes, he changed his appearance to Dai Weisi.
Afterwards, Bai Ye, posing as Dai Weisi, went to the Nether Duke's Mansion.
"Greetings, Your Highness the First Prince!"
When Bai Ye arrived at the Nether Duke's Mansion's Mansion in the guise of Dai Weisi, the guards at the gate immediately Bai Ye.
Clearly, they knew Dai Weisi.
"Um."
Bai Ye nodded nonchalantly, then deliberately asked in a low voice, "Is your young lady still in the manor?"
"She should still be there. We didn't see her leave today."
One of the guards said with a forced smile.
Having obtained the information he wanted, Bai Ye casually tossed a few Gold Soul Coin to the guards before striding into the Nether Duke's Mansion.
After asking a passing servant where Zhu Zhuyun was, Bai Ye quickly arrived at the mansion and in front of the house where Zhu Zhuyun was.
Despite having the word "mansion" in its name, the Nether Duke's Mansion is not actually just a mansion, but a family-style settlement, similar to the Xiao family in Battle Through the Heavens.
The Grand Duke Netherworld's Nether Duke's Mansion resides, is just one of these mansions.
Upon arriving at Zhu Zhuyun's residence, Bai Ye did not knock on the door. A maid who happened to be coming out recognized Dai Weisi's face and quickly bowed.
"Greetings, Your Highness. Are you here to see Miss?"
"Hmm, where is Zhu Yun now?"
Bai Ye spoke slowly.
"Miss is currently cultivating. Your Highness, please wait a moment in the living room. I will go find her shortly."
After leading Bai Ye into the living room to wait, a maid hurriedly went to find Zhu Zhuyun.
A few minutes later, Zhu Zhuyun came to the living room alone.
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come looking for me?"
Upon seeing Dai Weisi, Zhu Zhuyun immediately frowned and crossed her arms.
"It's me."
Looking around and finding no one, Bai Ye immediately reverted to his original expression and smiled faintly.
"Bai Ye, it's you! What brings you here?"
Upon discovering it was Bai Ye, Zhu Zhuyun was initially taken aback. Then, as if realizing something, she couldn't help but lean forward with a coquettish laugh, snuggling against Bai Ye. Her mature and beautiful face wore a captivating and alluring smile as she gently breathed into Bai Ye's ear and whispered...
"What, does it mean that my dear Master Bai Ye misses me? It seems my charm isn't so bad after all!"
"Stop fooling around, I came to talk to you about something, let's find somewhere else to talk."
Faced with Zhu Zhuyun's seductive and sycophantic manner, Bai Ye couldn't help but feel a little helpless. He simply pulled her into his arms and said slowly.
Seeing that Bai Ye seemed serious, Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, but she regained her composure and led Bai Ye to a quiet, secluded room.
Chapter 206 Coercion and Enticement: Zhu Zhuyun's Choice
"Alright, is this place alright? What's the matter that made you come all this way to find me?"
After leading Bai Ye to a quiet room, Zhu Zhuyun sat down at a tea table, propped her pretty face up with her hand, and looked at Bai Ye with great confusion and curiosity, and couldn't help but ask.
However, Bai Ye did not answer immediately, but smiled faintly and asked.
"Zhu Yun, have you heard about what's happening in the Heaven Dou Empire? Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire has passed away, and the one about to ascend the throne is Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Hehe, of course I know that, but Bai Ye, did you travel all this way just to tell me this?"
Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but chuckle and said.
"Of course not. The reason I came here is actually to tell you that the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, who is about to assume the throne in the Heaven Dou Empire, plans to cooperate with our Spirit Hall to conquer the continent. Afterwards, the Heaven Dou Empire will be willing to establish our Spirit Hall as its state religion..."
Bai Ye shook his head, smiled faintly, and said.
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuyun's previous leisurely demeanor vanished, her expression changed drastically, and she slammed her hand on the table, standing up and shouting angrily.
"That Xue Qinghe is too despicable!"
After saying that, Zhu Zhuyun hurriedly said to Bai Ye.
"Your Spirit Hall must not agree to cooperate with the Heaven Dou Empire! The Heaven Dou Empire is far weaker than our Star Luo Empire!"
"Instead of cooperating with the Heaven Dou Empire, your Spirit Hall should cooperate with our Star Luo Empire. It's definitely more cost-effective than cooperating with the Heaven Dou Empire!"
But Bai Ye shook his head at this.
"You can't make those decisions."
"Furthermore, His Holiness the Pope of our Spirit Hall has already agreed to cooperate with the Heaven Dou Empire. He just heard that I know you, so he wanted me to inform you and your Nether Duke's Mansion."
"When our Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire attack, if your Nether Duke's Mansion can make the right choice and help our Spirit Hall conquer your Star Luo Empire..."
"Our Spirit Hall can promise that your Nether Duke's Mansion will maintain its current status. Furthermore, out of respect for you, we will not slaughter the entire Star Luo Imperial Family; instead, we will leave some members as vassals of your Nether Duke's Mansion's Mansion."
"But what if your Nether Duke's Mansion makes the wrong choice, such as informing the Star Luo Imperial Family of this matter..."
At this point, Bai Ye's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Then, once our Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire join forces to conquer your Star Luo Empire, both the Star Luo Imperial Family and your Nether Duke's Mansion will die!!"
"You! Bai Ye, you promised to help me become the Empress of our Star Luo Empire!"
Upon discovering that the Spirit Hall was actually joining forces with the Heaven Dou Empire to conquer the continent, and recalling the promise she had made to Bai Ye at the cost of everything she had sacrificed, Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but point angrily at Bai Ye, her heart filled with both anger and rage.
But Bai Ye showed no shame whatsoever, and simply said calmly.
"Although I am a member of the Spirit Hall, it is not my place to make decisions on such important matters. I have already pleaded with your Nether Duke's Mansion on your behalf, which is why I have come to find you now."
"Otherwise, do you really think that it would be difficult for our Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire to join forces and conquer your Star Luo Empire, so that we would absolutely need the help of your Nether Duke's Mansion?"
Bai Ye looked at Zhu Zhuyun, smiled coldly, and asked in return.
Bai Ye's questioning left Zhu Zhuyun completely drained of her strength, causing her to slump into a chair, her heart filled with pain and inner turmoil.
The Spirit Hall already possessed the most powerful high-end combat force on the entire continent; compared to their Star Luo Empire, it only lacked a large army.
However, if the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire cooperate, with the Heaven Dou Empire's army and the Spirit Hall's Soul Grandmaster, the Star Luo Empire will be no match for them!
Whether or not the Nether Duke's Mansion's Mansion helps, it doesn't have much impact on the alliance between the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire.
Regardless of whether the Nether Duke's Mansion chooses to help or not, the allied forces of the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire will be able to easily conquer their Star Luo Empire.
But... does the Nether Duke's Mansion really intend to betray the Star Luo Empire?
For Zhu Zhuyun, who once aspired to become the Empress of the Star Luo Empire, this was an exceptionally painful choice.
But considering that if the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire cooperated, their Star Luo Empire would definitely not be a match for them.
For the sake of her family, Zhu Zhuyun ultimately had no choice but to make the decision that caused her the most pain.
That is, he promised Bai Ye that he would help persuade the Nether Duke's Mansion to secretly assist the allied forces of the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire in conquering the Star Luo Empire.
"Bai Ye, you've successfully convinced me. I will help persuade my family to secretly assist you when you attack our Star Luo Empire."
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Zhuyun's mature and beautiful face revealed a hint of self-deprecation as she spoke.
Congratulations on making the right choice.
Upon hearing Zhu Zhuyun's words, Bai Ye also showed a faint smile.
But seeing that Bai Ye was still so calm, Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but feel a hint of resentment in her eyes. She grabbed Bai Ye's hand and bit it hard.
"You scoundrel! You promised me something, but you lied to me! I'll bite you to death!"
"Ahem... I really didn't lie to you when I promised you!"
Seeing Zhu Zhuyun looking resentful and angrily biting her left hand, Bai Ye also showed a hint of embarrassment and couldn't help but cough a few times before saying...
When he agreed to Zhu Zhuyun's request, although his main intention was to get something for free, he also considered that if the opportunity arose, he might help Zhu Zhuyun ascend to the throne of the Star Luo Empire as Empress.
After all, it's quite an accomplishment to have personally trained an empress who is incredibly dignified in front of her subjects but as docile as a kitten in front of you.
But he didn't expect that Xue Ye would be so unhelpful. He only asked Dugu Bo to stop giving him the antidote, and the emperor died so quickly.
