Douluo Continent: What should I do if I don't have a cheat system?

Chapter 123 Two Great Empires

Heaven Dou Empire

"A bunch of useless people, always complaining about a lack of funding, but they can't come up with anything!" the Avalanche Emperor said angrily.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. We haven't figured it out, and neither have other forces. Overall, we haven't suffered too much loss," Prince Xuexing said.

"Uncle, I'm really worried. We're way behind the Spirit Hall. I don't want the Spirit Hall to be able to crush the Empire with just a few random people next time."

"There's nothing we can do about it. I don't know when it started, but the Spirit Hall has become like an iron plate. Our spies can't get into the inner city of the Spirit Hall, and we can't bribe anyone in the Spirit Hall."

"Is it because they didn't pay enough? Money, beautiful women, titles—arrange all of these. I don't believe anyone in the Spirit Hall can resist such temptation."

"It's useless. People who join the Spirit Hall basically don't care about an imperial title, and money is even less important to them. Now that the Spirit Hall has shut down the exchange of gold spirit coins for points, many places simply won't accept gold spirit coins. The purchasing power of gold spirit coins is too low now; everyone only recognizes Spirit Hall points. As for beautiful women, sigh, what's the Spirit Hall doing with the clothing and cosmetics industries? There are just too many beautiful women now; everyone's standards have been raised!"

"Is it that difficult?"

"Yes, nowadays, many princesses from small countries aren't as well-dressed as a waitress from the Spirit Hall!"

"Furthermore, Spirit Hall members receive a marriage subsidy after registration, so many people now aspire to marry or marry someone from the Spirit Hall. And if both spouses are Spirit Hall members, they receive double the subsidy!"

"This won't work, that won't work, why do I feel so stifled since I became emperor?" Xue Beng said, somewhat frustrated.

"This..." Prince Xuexing didn't know what to say.

"I received a message from a scout saying that my father is now in Wuhun City, and he has recovered from his illness. He now spends his days taking his concubines shopping, sightseeing, and looking for delicious food. Moreover, Xue Ke has now entered the Wuhun Hall Soul Master Academy."

"This retired emperor might have his own ideas!"

"His idea is to give me the throne, and he can go to the enemy's territory to eat, drink, and have fun!" Just thinking about Avalanche makes me feel frustrated.

In the years before he became emperor, he lived a stifled life, pretending to be someone he wasn't every day. After becoming emperor, life became even more stifling. The Spirit Hall was like a mountain pressing down on his heart, making it hard to breathe.

At this moment, Xue Beng suddenly remembered that when Emperor Xue Ye passed the throne to him, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was as if someone had taken over. He was relieved. At that time, he was only happy to succeed to the throne and ignored many things.

Suddenly, Xue Beng had an idea: to pass the throne to his uncle, Prince Xue Xing, and go out and enjoy himself, so that he wouldn't have so many worries.

Star Luo Empire

Royal Palace

"Report! The person in charge of the Spirit Hall has changed. His name is Zhu Zhuqing, his cultivation level is unknown, and he is accompanied by twelve Title Douluos, all of whom treat him with great respect!"

"What? Zhu Zhuqing? Zhu Zhuqing from the Netherworld Cat Clan?" Davis asked.

"Yes, they went straight to the Zhu family upon arrival, and their twelve Title Douluos immediately revealed their spirit rings and suppressed the entire Zhu family! All the Zhu family elders were executed on the spot!"

"What? They've gone too far! How dare they mess with the nobles of my Star Luo Empire!" Davis slammed his fist on the table and said.

"Where are they now?"

"We're on our way to the palace now!" the scout said.

"What? You good-for-nothing, you're only telling me now?! Quickly call the elders and gather everyone!" Davis ordered.

"Your Majesty, it seems my sister Zhuqing harbors a great deal of resentment about what happened back then!" Zhu Zhuyun said.

"Resentment? You can't blame anyone else. We were born in the Star Luo Empire, and we've been like this for generations. When Dai Mubai was executed, Zhu Zhuqing should have died too!" Davis said.

"It's no use saying anything now, they'll be here soon! What do you suggest we do?" Zhu Zhuyun said.

"What should we do? Even if Zhu Zhuqing joins the Spirit Hall now, I don't believe she would dare to attack the Empire. Does the Spirit Hall want to start a war on the continent?" Davis said.

A loud "bang" was heard!

"What's wrong? What's that loud noise?" Davis asked.

"Reporting, Your Majesty, Zhu Zhuqing has led twelve Title Douluos and over a hundred Soul Douluos into the fray. The soldiers are simply unable to stop her!"

"What? How can Zhu Zhuqing mobilize so many people! How can she! Has the Elders been summoned? Go and urge them!" Davis shouted.

Soon, Zhu Zhuqing led her men to the square in front of the palace!

At this moment, Davis also led a group of people out.

"Zhu Zhuqing, what exactly are you trying to do? Do you want to destroy the entire empire?" Davis said.

"Destroyed the empire? It's better that such an empire was destroyed!" Zhu Zhuqing said.

"Isn't destroying the Zhu family enough? Do you want to wipe out the royal family too?" Davis said.

"I'm here today to settle the accounts with you!"

"What accounts are we set up?"

"Davis, Zhu Zhuyun, don't play dumb!"

"The competition within the royal family is mainly among the princes. When Dai Mubai fled, you didn't hunt him down, but instead kept chasing me. There's also the competition between families, where you can only send Soul Masters of the same level. Back then, I was still a Great Soul Master, yet you sent Soul Venerables to hunt me down, and the last time you even sent a Soul King," Zhu Zhuqing said calmly.

"This matter is already settled! I have already ascended the throne! Zhu Zhuyun is also my empress," Davis said.

"The accounts are settled, now it's time to collect the payment."

"Collecting debts? What debts?"

"Hand over all those who hunted me down back then. I've already wiped out the Zhu family, and your Evil-Eyed White Tiger family too!"

"You, what happened back then is in the past. Don't keep dwelling on it. Even if you kill them now, what difference will it make? Will it change the outcome, Zhu Qing?" Zhu Zhuyun said.

"My dear sisters, your soul power levels were already high. Even through legitimate means, Dai Mubai was far from being your match. Yet you broke the rules!" Zhu Zhuqing said.

"It's all about the winner taking all the credit! What's the point of saying all this now!"

"What's the use? Today I'm going to rewrite the rules of the Star Luo Empire!"

"Zhu Zhuqing, do you want to rebel? You're now with the Spirit Hall, do you want to start a war?"

"Start a war? Hah, you think you're worthy? Wipe out the Elders' Council first! Anyone who tries to stop you, kill them!"

"Yes!" The twelve Title Douluos and one hundred Soul Douluos answered in unison, their voices clear and unified.

"Zhu Zhuqing, aren't you afraid of what the people will say? Aren't you afraid of being criticized by the Spirit Hall?" Davis said.

"The people? You dare to talk about the people! And criticizing them is even more out of the question. You yourself have said that it's all about the winner taking all the blame! Take action!" Zhu Zhuqing couldn't stand the faces of these people any longer and gave the order directly!
