Douluo Continent: Phoenix God Ma Hongjun intercepts and marries Zhu Zhuqing!

Chapter 145 Territorial Independence! A Proclamation to the World!

Emperor Xueye naturally understood the other meaning in Dugu Bo's words, and slowly said, "The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School only has two Title Douluos, and they need to be stationed at the sect, so it's impossible to arrange for them to come here. I've heard that Phoenix Academy has many Title Douluos, so I implore you to arrange for one to protect me secretly. Don't worry, the reward you deserve will not be less."

Just as Dugu Bo hesitated, he heard Ma Hongjun's voice transmission in his mind.

"Agree to his demands, and have him exchange the entire Phoenix Mountain territory for it. Then publicly declare that Phoenix Mountain belongs to Phoenix Academy and is now independent."

Dugu Bo hadn't thought of this at first.

Now that he's heard what his own dean said, he also feels that this is very promising.

"Alright, I agree. When we get back, I will arrange for a Title Douluo to protect you in secret. As for the reward, we don't need it. But we want Phoenix Mountain to be our independent territory, and you need to announce this to the public and acknowledge it if you agree." Dugu Bo said slowly.

Both the chief eunuch and Emperor Xueye were taken aback upon hearing this condition.

This would undoubtedly force the Heavenly Dou Empire to cede territory to the Phoenix Academy.

The chief eunuch watched Emperor Xueye with extreme caution.

He was very clever; he knew exactly when it was his turn to speak and when it wasn't.

Now that he's a servant, he naturally has no right to interrupt.

Daring to spoil the fun of a Title Douluo might just become a crisis right now.

However, Emperor Xueye remained calm, for having experienced a life-or-death ordeal, he had seen through many things.

Even if one possesses a vast and beautiful land, if one is not alive to enjoy and protect it, it is all just empty talk and not worth mentioning.

He nodded: "I agree. The territorial independence of the Phoenix Mountain area is granted to you, and I will now draft an edict to announce it to the world!"

Doing this is actually a matter of going with the flow.

Since Phoenix Mountain was occupied by Phoenix Academy, it can never be taken back, given the Phoenix Academy's terrifying strength now.

So even if they don't announce it themselves, to outsiders, Phoenix Mountain actually belongs to Phoenix Academy.

Now, the other party's action is exactly what I wanted to do for them.

"Alright, Your Majesty, rest assured. I will go back now and arrange for a powerful Title Douluo to come. You can discuss with him what needs to be done."

Dugu Bo spoke up.

"Okay, thank you."

"I will give it to you."

Emperor Xueye lowered his stance and said.

"No need, Your Majesty, you just need to rest."

As soon as Dugu Bo finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of rainbow light and vanished from the palace in an instant.

"That's terrifying speed!"

Emperor Xueye gasped.

The chief eunuch, who had personally experienced it, naturally understood how terrifying this rainbow transformation technique was.

That speed was simply unparalleled, virtually unstoppable!

"Bring me the imperial edict immediately; I will draft it right now!"

"Convene a court meeting simultaneously!"

The Emperor looked at the chief eunuch and said.

"Yes, sir!" The head eunuch nodded.

Emperor Xueye disappeared from the spot.

Soon, in the Heavenly Dou Dynasty, many people were missing due to the Heavenly Dou Palace Coup, and everyone was trembling with fear.

Everyone was overjoyed to see that Emperor Xueye was safe and sound.

Those who survived are no longer members of the Spirit Hall.

As for whether he will be bribed in the future, that's a matter for later.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Everyone knelt down.

"My esteemed subjects, rise!"

"Many things have happened in the Heaven Dou Palace, but all of that is in the past. I used the pretext of being poisoned to eliminate many spies from the Spirit Hall within the palace."

"Now, I have something to announce!"

"Guards, read the imperial edict! Proclaim it to the world!"

Emperor Xueye waved his hand, signaling everyone to rise, and then waved his hand again, saying...

The chief eunuch hurried in through the side door, respectfully carrying the imperial edict, which he opened and read aloud: "Convey my decree!"

Upon seeing the edict, those who had stood up knelt down again to listen.

The chief eunuch continued, "From this day forward, all power over Phoenix Mountain, except for its sovereignty, belongs to Phoenix Academy. The Heaven Dou Empire recognizes the formal independence of Phoenix Academy and Phoenix Mountain!"

"What!?"

"Has Phoenix Mountain been cut off?"

Upon hearing this, all the officials were greatly alarmed.

"Do any of you ministers have any objections?" Emperor Xueye's eyes were cold and sharp.

"We have no objections!"

"We obey the decree!"

Everyone wasn't stupid, and they quickly realized that this was definitely a reward for Phoenix Academy helping the Heaven Dou Empire eliminate the Spirit Hall spies. Moreover, they were also afraid of death, so they all expressed that they had no objections.

Furthermore, Phoenix Academy is so powerful that they dare not offend it easily.

"Very well, since there are no objections, let us proclaim to the world the legitimate independence of Phoenix Mountain and Phoenix Academy."

After Emperor Xueye finished speaking, he said, "Meeting adjourned!"

After saying that, he left quickly.

The group quickly left.

This news quickly spread rapidly from the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace to the entire Heavenly Dou City.

Upon receiving this news, all parties expressed great shock.

"Looks like something big is about to happen."

"Phoenix Academy is currently at its peak, with so many Title Douluos in charge. It might not be difficult for Emperor Xueye to directly acknowledge the other party's territorial independence."

The students of Shrek Academy were also very surprised when they received the news.

"Phoenix Academy!"

When Tang San learned the news, he clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger.

"Let's not delay, let's head to Seagod Island right away, I can't wait to get stronger!" Tang San said to everyone.

"Alright, let's go then!"

"The supplies are ready. Our first destination is Hanhai City."

Yu Xiaogang and the others nodded and handed over the prepared items to Tang San.

"We'll stay at Shrek Academy and won't be going with you. Please be extremely careful on the journey!"

Yu Xiaogang said.

He also understood that his current strength was too weak to be of any help, and he might even become a burden.

Everyone sees through it but doesn't say anything, and he himself is also aware of his own limitations.

"Okay, teachers, please wait for our good news inside the academy!"

"When we return, that will be the day we settle accounts with Phoenix Academy!"

Tang San took the supplies and said with a cold look in his eyes.

Afterwards, the group officially embarked on their journey to Poseidon Island.

This is also a brand new challenge for them!

"Let's hope everything goes well," Yu Xiaogang, Flander, Liu Erlong, and the others said.

He then turned around and went back to the academy.

After returning, Dugu Bo told the elders about his mission to secretly protect Emperor Xueye, as well as the news of Phoenix Academy and Phoenix Mountain's independence.

Everyone was very happy to hear this.

We have finally achieved territorial independence!

Moreover, it was Emperor Xueye himself who announced it to the world, which completely verified the legitimacy of his authority!

It is perfectly legitimate!

"So, everyone, who's willing to go?"

"We need someone to send from our side."

Dugu Bo looked at everyone and spoke.

"I'll go. I've been at Phoenix Academy for so long; I guess I should make a small contribution to the academy!"

Feng Wuhen volunteered.

"Since you spoke first, I won't fight you for it." Huo Zhenshuang lowered his hand, which was halfway raised, and said.

"Alright, then Elder Feng, you can go." Dugu Bo nodded.
