A few years ago, Sun Buxiao had possessed neither strength nor influence.
Now, Sun Buxiao seemed to have assembled the core of an organization.
Generally speaking, a Dou Ling expert could dominate a city, a Dou Wang expert could lead one of a nation's major forces, and a Dou Huang expert was someone an entire nation had to rely on.
As for a Dou Zong expert, he could serve as the very foundation upon which a nation was built.
Sun Buxiao's current strength could already be said to rival that of a high-level Dou Zong-though Su Qian did have some questions about that.
The woeful poison body was powerful, but not so powerful that a Dou Emperor could fight a Dou Zong. Even with netherworld poison flame, that was a stretch. There must have been something special about Sun Buxiao himself... But since it was someone else's secret, Su Qian had no intention of probing.
As for the forces behind him, there was another woeful poison body, Xiao Yi Xian, who was at the Dou Wang level, and a high-level Dou Emperor. If he recruited a few more Dou Wangs, that really would be enough.
If he killed off the disobedient Dou Wangs and Dou Emperors in the Black-Corner Region, unifying it did indeed seem possible now.
"Mm, next I'll dig out those big fish at the Dou Zong level hiding in the Black-Corner Region. Then I can consider unifying it."
Sun Buxiao nodded readily.
He had begun spreading his influence through the Black-Corner Region years ago precisely to lay the groundwork for this day. Looking back now, it had helped at least a little.
Though in the end, he had mostly relied on brute force to make a brick fly...
*Whatever. As long as the result's right, isn't that
