Douluo: Did you move Danta here?

Chapter 445 Taking the bait
Zhu Xianye didn't question it at all. Since he had already received the instruction, he would just do as he was told. Although Dai Mubai was his nephew by blood, this little bit of kinship was nothing compared to the life and death of the family.

A few days later, inside the palace of the Kingdom of Kerviel, Dai Mubai looked at Tang San, who was sitting opposite him, leisurely sipping his drink, with a worried expression and a hint of helplessness on his face.

"Little San, do you think my uncle will agree to conspire with us to restore the kingdom?"

"Aren't you worried at all that they'll refuse? After all, Xue Qinghe has been deeply involved in Xingluo for several years."

Tang San paused as he raised his wine cup, a slow smile creeping onto his lips.

"The chances of them agreeing are indeed slim, after all, our power is still too small compared to the Heaven Dou Empire."

"But if you disagree, then so be it. We are not incapable of taking over the Kingdom of Nili on our own. It will just take more effort. It won't be difficult to get the Zhu family to stop blocking our eastward advance."

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai's worried expression eased slightly, and he nodded, saying:

“You’re right. Even if they disagree, it doesn’t matter. After taking over the Kingdom of Nili, the development environment will be much better, and we can recruit our own soldiers.”

"If the Zhu family doesn't agree, so be it. As long as it doesn't hinder our development, that's fine. I think they still have some old feelings for us. Even if it's just to leave themselves a way out, it's still good. After all, the Zhu family's current situation isn't exactly good either."

Just as the two were exchanging toasts, the envoy sent by Dai Mubai to Lingmao City returned to the Kingdom of Kerviel after completing his mission. Without taking any rest, he went straight to the royal palace.

"Your Highness, the envoy has returned."

"Oh? Let him in."

"Yes."

Dai Mubai put down his wine cup, exchanged a glance with Tang San, and then directly ordered his servants to bring the envoy before him.

Seeing the undisguised joy on the other person's face, Dai Mubai's heart stirred. It seemed that the situation wasn't as bad as he had thought.

"What happened? Did the Zhu family agree?"

"Yes, Your Highness, Duke Youming has agreed to support our uprising, and they will begin their attack on the Kingdom of Nili from the east in half a month."

"Oh? They actually agreed? Hahaha!"

After Dai Mubai laughed loudly, a sense of pride and satisfaction rose in his heart. He knew that the Zhu family had always looked down on him, but now they were actually willing to support his restoration of the country.

Compared to Dai Mubai's excitement, Tang San seemed much more wary. He frowned slightly and began to think about the Duke of Youming's intentions. Logically speaking, a clan leader would not gamble the fate of his clan on the small force of the two of them. Could there be a trap?

After promising the messenger a reward, Dai Mubai dismissed him.

"How about it, Xiao San? With the Zhu family's help now, our plan will be much easier."

"Don't you think they agreed too easily?"

Tang San still couldn't believe that the Zhu family would so easily tie their warship to them; at most, they would only provide some food and weapons.

But Dai Mubai waved his hand dismissively.

"Little Third, didn't you already analyze that the Netherworld Palace wouldn't have an easy time after the Star Luo upheaval? Isn't it normal for them to take this opportunity to change the family's decline?"

"Besides, I have blood ties with the Zhu family. If they don't trust me, are they going to choose to rebel alone? Wouldn't that make their chances of success even lower?"

"Either way, we'll be devoured by Xue Qinghe, so we might as well fight while our forces are still intact."

Tang San nodded, not denying it. What Dai Mubai said did make sense. In his mind, the Zhu family might not provide support, but they would never attack them. In that case, the best outcome for the Zhu family in a few decades would be to be reduced to a third-rate family. "Then let's prepare for action. There's not much time left until the half-month deadline. We need to make some arrangements in advance."

"Alright, I'll summon the generals for a meeting now. Your Tang Clan should proceed as before!"

Dai Mubai couldn't hide his excitement. Having tasted success, he decided to send the Tang Clan to carry out a decapitation strike against the Nili royal family. A leaderless enemy would be powerless to resist, something they had already experienced when attacking the Kingdom of Kerviel.

Otherwise, given their size, it would be unrealistic for them to conquer the entire kingdom, even if the kingdom itself is weak.

"Alright, after it's done, let's meet with Duke Youming and see if we can completely win him over."

"Very well, if I can truly succeed, I will certainly restore the Zhu family to its former glory. I believe my uncle will not refuse."

The two hit it off immediately and then went their separate ways. Dai Mubai arranged for the army to advance westward into the Kingdom of Nili, while Tang San once again dispatched Tang Clan assassins to deal with the royal family and generals.

In the past few days, Tang San has used the existing resources to equip the Tang Sect's subordinates with hidden weapon equipment. These already powerful Soul Masters have become even stronger, and they are not afraid even if there are Soul Saint-level experts in the Nili Kingdom.

The half-month period not only gave Dai Mubai and the Zhu family the opportunity to mobilize their troops, but also allowed the Exterminator Sect, founded by the Ming Dynasty, to complete its initial development.

With the financial support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, many independent Soul Masters from the Star Luo Region have chosen to join this powerful force for refuge, since the current environment in the Star Luo Region is not exactly friendly to these independent Soul Masters.

Compared to the blood of commoners, these Soul Masters were better able to provide Tang San with nourishment for himself and the cultivation of his forces. For this reason, Tang San arranged many ways for rogue Soul Masters to die.

Today, Da Ming is reporting to Ning Bei on the current situation of the Extermination Sect, and both of them are quite satisfied with the current state of the new sect.

"That's impressive. In less than a month, over a hundred people have agreed to join."

"Heh, we have to thank Tang San for this. His actions in Star Luo have instilled fear in these rogue Soul Masters. Now that there is a power for them to rely on, of course they will choose to come and join us."

“Alright, once the situation in the three southwestern provinces becomes clear, you can begin to take action against the Tang Clan disciples active in the Xingluo region.”

"it is good."

After Da Ming left, Gu Yue also smiled at Ning Bei.

"They expend a lot of energy only to end up like a rootless duckweed; what a brilliant move to undermine their foundation."

"There's no other way. I'd rather just slap that guy to death than scheme and plot, but I can't do that, can I?"

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Great Mother Dragon.

"Just wait, that day won't be long, and I'll make those people pay the price."

Ning Bei smiled, ignoring her harsh words. After a moment of brilliance, she turned to the Great Dragon Mother and asked:

"Ah Yue, if you were to regain control of the divine realm one day, what would your attitude be towards humanity?"

"Ok?"

The Silver Dragon King was slightly taken aback, then realized what Ning Bei wanted to ask, and a smile that could melt ice and snow flashed across her pretty face.

"Don't worry, I won't set any rule that humans can't become gods. The divine realm depends entirely on the abilities of each race."
