Douluo: Did you move Danta here?

Chapter 443 Persuading Zhu Xianye

Zhu Xianye's expression changed. He hadn't expected his daughter to be so direct in stating her purpose. Now the situation was beyond his control.

As expected, upon hearing Zhu Zhuyun's words, the Grand Elder immediately bristled and glared.

"You scoundrel, what business is it of a woman like you to interfere in this kind of thing? Get back here!"

After berating Zhu Zhuyun, the Grand Elder still looked at Davis, who was standing to the side, with great indignation.

"Young man of the Dai family, are you obsessed with restoring your kingdom? Can't you see the current situation in Xingluo? Do you want to drag my Zhu family down with you?"

Zhu Zhuyun didn't speak, but instead began to signal to her father with her eyes. This startled Zhu Xuanye slightly, but he immediately realized that his eldest daughter was not reckless or unreasonable. This behavior must mean that something he didn't know had happened.

So he waved his hand to restrain the still-angry elder and comforted him:
"Second Uncle, please don't be angry. I will talk to Zhuyun properly. You should go back now."

"Hmph, Xianye, you should teach these two arrogant brats a lesson. If you're too lazy, then let this old man do it."

With an angry flick of his sleeve, the First Elder stood up and walked towards the council hall door. As he passed Davis and Zhu Zhuyun, he glared at them fiercely. The other elders bowed to Zhu Xuanye and followed the First Elder.

After all the elders had left, only the couple and Zhu Xianye remained in the council hall.

"Tell me, Zhu Yun, why do you advocate supporting Dai Mubai?"

The couple exchanged a glance, and finally Davis stepped forward, bowed to Zhu Xianye, and began to explain.

“Uncle, it’s not that we want to support Dai Mubai’s rebellion, but this is the only step we have left.”

"Oh? Why do you say that? You should know that if we only manage Lingmao City and thus reduce our army, we can most likely still preserve the Zhu family, just not as powerful as before."

A hint of doubt flashed in Zhu Xianye's eyes, not understanding what Davis meant by saying that this was the only path left to take.

"Uncle, do you still remember what happened to Uncle Tianxing?"

"Hmm? You mean the Seventh Elder was killed by a Title Douluo in the Heaven Dou Empire?"

Davis nodded and began to tell Zhu Xianye about Ningbei's strength.

“Uncle, the powerful figure who killed the Seventh Elder possessed three 100,000-year soul rings.”

"What? This is impossible!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xianye slammed his fist on the table and stood up, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief. The stronger one's cultivation, the more one understands the difficulty of absorbing a spirit ring beyond the limit. As a Soul Douluo, he dared not touch a spirit ring older than 80,000 years. How could he believe that someone would dare to absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring at the Soul Saint level? As for the path of spirit beast sacrifice, he rejected it without even thinking about it. How could anyone be so lucky as to encounter a 100,000-year spirit beast that was on the verge of death and willing to sacrifice itself, and even three of them at once?
“Father, this is what Weiss and I saw with our own eyes, there’s no doubt about it. If you don’t believe me, you can ask our subordinates who participated in the Soul Master Competition back then.”

Seeing that her father did not believe her, Zhu Zhuyun immediately spoke up to testify, stating that everything Davis said was true.

Although Zhu Xianye still didn't believe it after calming down, he didn't dwell on the issue.

"What does this have to do with your support for Dai Mubai's rebellion?" "Uncle, we are not supporting Dai Mubai. Rather, we need to find an opportunity to seize power from him after he takes over the two southwestern provinces."

"What? Why is that?"

Hearing Davis say this, Zhu Xianye fell into deep suspicion. If they really supported Dai Mubai's rebellion, they could blame everything on Dai Mubai if things failed. But if the leader was Davis, then it would be impossible to explain.

“Father, this is why Weiss said that this is the only way we can go. That powerful person has already approached us. He ordered Weiss and me to do this.”

"Tian Dou's pressure on the Zhu family is getting deeper and deeper. Don't be fooled by the fact that the First Elder is now leading the opposition to the rebellion. If it really comes to his interests, the old man will probably be the first to lead the rebellion."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xuanye's expression changed repeatedly. So it seemed that they only had one path left to take. The Zhu family no longer had the resources to contend with a Super Douluo. As for the fact that someone with three 100,000-year soul rings was not a Super Douluo-level expert, he didn't even consider it.

"What is their purpose? What is their purpose? Logically speaking, shouldn't the other party be someone from the Heaven Dou camp?"

"That's right, the other party is from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but I'm not quite sure why they ordered us to do this."

Davis looked troubled. He didn't dare ask Ning Bei why he needed to do these things. If he angered a powerhouse of that level, he would probably be reduced to dust with a wave of his hand. He was no longer the Star Luo Crown Prince who could make people hesitate to attack him. Moreover, even if Ning Bei knew that he was the Star Luo Crown Prince, she had never taken him seriously.

“Hey, Weiss, you know that the Zhu family isn’t just something I can control. Without a good reason, those old fogies would never agree to support you.”

“I know, Uncle. So, before he left, he sent us some helpers. You just need to announce your support for Dai Mubai to take over the Nili Kingdom, and leave the rest to that senior.”

"Senior? May I have a glimpse of you?"

Upon hearing that there was an unnamed expert beside the two, Zhu Xianye felt curious and wanted to meet him to assess his strength. If the expert was not as strong as him, it would be difficult to get the Grand Elder and the others to agree to the operation. After all, the Grand Elder held great power not because of seniority, but more importantly because his strength was above Zhu Xianye's.

After exchanging a glance, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuyun simultaneously pointed behind Zhu Xianye. This action caused Zhu Xianye, a Soul Douluo, to have his pupils widen in shock. Then, the hairs on his body stood on end, and he mechanically turned his head to look behind him. He then discovered that a stunningly beautiful woman was giving him a friendly smile three steps away.

Cats are known to have extremely sensitive senses, and Zhu Xuanye, who possesses the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul, naturally inherited this trait. He was confident that even ordinary Title Douluo would not be able to touch him from behind without his knowledge, but this young woman in front of him had done it.

This means that if the other party had wanted to, he could have already died in the Northwest.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Xianye respectfully cupped his hands towards Xiaodie.

"How should I address you, senior? I am Zhu Xianye, and I am Zhu Yun's father."

Xiaodie, her smile fading, disappeared from their sight once more, leaving only her captivating voice behind.

"Just call me Butterfly. If your clan elders are dissatisfied, I will take care of it myself."

"Yes Yes."

Zhu Xianye's expression froze completely. Compared to appearing silently behind him, this method of disappearing without a trace while he was fully focused sent chills down his spine. He had already made a judgment on Xiaodie's strength, which was definitely above the level of a Super Douluo.
