Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 548 Who is the Chicken?

"You plan to use the Spirit Hall to establish the Spirit Empire!?" Dai Mubai glanced at Han Feng with a strange expression and asked in a deep voice.

Han Feng nodded noncommittally and said, "That's roughly the idea. Elder Qian is right. My previous thoughts were indeed too superficial. You understand, I hate trouble and want to get things done quickly. So I have to use drastic measures. Decisiveness is my style. Besides, we don't have time to dawdle now. Who knows when Bibi Dong will jump out!"

As he spoke, Han Feng raised an eyebrow at Dai Mubai and asked, "What? You don't like it?"

Dai Mubai rolled his eyes, didn't answer, but instead asked, "What do you think?"

"I bet you'd love to!" Han Feng rolled his eyes and said dryly.

"Then why did you ask that question?" Dai Mubai chuckled and scolded in an annoyed tone.

Why did Han Feng ask Dai Mubai about his feelings of being unable to control his own destiny?

Isn't the goal simply to use the establishment of the Martial Soul Empire to pull Dai Mubai out of this endless war?

Once the Spirit Empire is established, it will be a powerful force that can directly threaten the foundation of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. No matter how warlike the Star Luo people are, or how ambitious the Star Luo Emperor is, they cannot ignore the Spirit Empire and blindly expand outwards!

By then, the Spirit Empire will be the enemy of the entire continent!

The Spirit Empire has the strength to do so!

With powerful external enemies, who would engage in internal strife?

As clever as Dai Mubai was, he naturally saw through Han Feng's intentions, so how could he refuse Han Feng's kindness?

Anyway, Dai Mubai had already said that he would unconditionally support Han Feng's plan, and that was the price of their defeat back then.

Moreover, if what Han Feng said is true, Dai Mubai wouldn't even need to force the Star Luo Emperor to abdicate. The Star Luo Emperor himself would have no choice but to follow Han Feng's plan. It would be a perfectly legitimate and open scheme. Even if the Star Luo Emperor knew that following Han Feng's plan would affect the Star Luo Empire's power and interests, and that in a life-or-death situation, he would still have to listen to Han Feng—no matter how ambitious the Star Luo Emperor is, if he lacks the strength, he must bow down!

This is what Dai Mubai is most satisfied with.

Originally, Dai Mubai planned to force Han Feng to abdicate and ascend the throne when Han Feng's plan unfolded, but now there's no need for that.

There's no longer any father-son relationship between Dai Mubai and the Star Luo Emperor. Dai Mubai doesn't feel guilty about forcing the emperor to abdicate, but it's a sensitive topic, so it's best to avoid it if possible!

"But Bibi Dong actually disappeared at such a crucial moment?" Dai Mubai changed the subject and asked Han Feng with some surprise.

Anyone can see that now is the best time for Bibi Dong. Once Han Feng and the others have grown up, Bibi Dong will have no chance at all!

Although Han Feng has grown up...

Han Feng glanced at Dai Mubai and simply said, "It doesn't matter. Whatever her plans are, they're meaningless in the face of absolute power!"

The fact that Bibi Dong went to search for a new divine inheritance was just Han Feng's guess. It wouldn't make any difference if he said it, since no one could find it anyway. So Han Feng's explanation to Dai Mubai was the same explanation that Qian Daoliu had given him back then—that Bibi Dong had gone to search for a 100,000-year-old soul beast!

Dai Mubai nodded, no longer dwelling on it.

Just as Han Feng said, no amount of trickery or schemes can work against absolute power.

In terms of strength, Tang San, Han Feng, and Dai Mubai are all successors of gods, and Qian Renxue is on their side. Even if Bibi Dong really becomes a god, she is still fighting four against one, and her chances of winning are slim. As long as Bibi Dong dares to show her face, she will only suffer defeat!

"However, according to your logic, the establishment of the Spirit Empire requires a formidable opponent to serve as a warning to others; otherwise, it might not achieve the desired effect of deterring the continent!" Dai Mubai then pondered for a moment, staring at Han Feng, and asked solemnly, "Who are you planning to use as that 'chicken'? The Star Luo Empire or the Heaven Dou Empire?!"

As Dai Mubai said, the establishment of an empire is not a matter of a single sentence; it always requires a sacrifice!

Without the baptism of blood, the newly established empire is a joke. No one will truly fear it from the bottom of their heart. Even if the empire itself is a fierce tiger, without showing its fangs, there will still be newborn calves that are not afraid of tigers!

Currently, there are only a handful of forces on the continent capable of sacrificing themselves for the Spirit Empire.

It's nothing more than the three upper sects and the two great empires.

As for Shrek Academy...

Although Shrek Academy is currently enjoying great success, its foundation is still insufficient. It has unlimited potential, but limited strength. Using Shrek Academy as a sacrifice is a joke, and Han Feng would never do such a thing.

Of the remaining three sects and two empires, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect is already half-crippled and can no longer be called "significant". The Clear Sky Sect is in seclusion and protected by a sect-protecting formation, so even the Spirit Hall cannot launch a large-scale attack. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is Han Feng's wife's family, so Han Feng probably won't make a move. So, that leaves only the two empires.

In fact, Dai Mubai himself was more inclined to support the Star Luo Empire, since the Heaven Dou Empire was involved in too many things.

Moreover, the Star Luo Empire is currently in high spirits, and Dai Mubai needs the Spirit Empire to pour cold water on it, lest the Star Luo Empire get burned.

Otherwise, how could Dai Mubai have escaped like this?!

But Han Feng shook his head and said, "Not the two great empires, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

"Huh!?" Dai Mubai was taken aback upon hearing this—how could it be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

Dai Mubai was the first to rule out the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

Isn't Han Feng afraid of upsetting his father-in-law?

Seeing the look of surprise and doubt on Dai Mubai's face, Han Feng explained, "This is also what my father-in-law wanted! A tall tree catches the wind, and a strong person attracts hatred! Because of me, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been elevated to a level that doesn't belong to it. Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is currently at its peak, it is far from being the number one sect in the world. My father-in-law has also realized this and has long been determined to reorganize the sect!"

"Even without the Spirit Empire, my father-in-law would find a way to suppress the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School himself!"

"Actually, because of the sudden rise of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, countless soul masters came here and joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. You know, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's main family are support soul masters with little combat power. They mainly recruit soul masters from outside, so naturally they would not refuse these soul masters."

"But as the saying goes, 'a large forest has all kinds of birds,' and these Soul Masters are naturally of varying quality, a mixed bag. Many even use the name of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, causing my father-in-law countless troubles!"

"We can use the power of the Spirit Empire to eliminate these bad apples one by one!"

"After all, when trees grow big, their branches need to be pruned!"

After listening to Han Feng's words, Dai Mubai nodded in deep agreement and sighed with empathy, "Truly worthy of being the continent's top strategist!"

The old Dai Mubai certainly wouldn't have understood, but after becoming the crown prince, Dai Mubai's feelings have become increasingly profound!

Sometimes, there are always some troublemakers in the team who deviate from the rules and like to cause trouble, which is very annoying. However, as the leader, Dai Mubai cannot get rid of them as soon as possible. After all, Dai Mubai has to consider the feelings of others so as not to disappoint them.

If morale collapses, the troops will be difficult to lead!

"What about Xingluo? When do you plan to have the Spirit Empire attack the Xingluo Empire?" After sighing, Dai Mubai couldn't wait to ask Han Feng.

Han Feng glanced at Dai Mubai with surprise and said in a strange tone, "Why do you look like you'd love for the Star Luo Empire to collapse? Are you really the Star Luo Crown Prince? Or are you a spy from another country?"

Dai Mubai snorted irritably and said, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has internal troubles, but the Star Luo Empire can't? Not to mention the almost pathological fanaticism for war within the empire right now, just think how many lunatics there are in such a warlike empire!?"

Dai Mubai didn't explain it clearly, but Han Feng understood.

In short, life is tough for everyone!

"How about this?" Han Feng pondered for a moment, then said, "The Spirit Empire will attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School first. Then my father-in-law and I will discuss it, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will soon be defeated. We'll then quietly withdraw from the center of the continent, leaving the spotlight to the Spirit Empire!"

"After that, the Spirit Empire will turn its attention to the Star Luo Empire!"

As he spoke, Han Feng solemnly instructed Dai Mubai, "You better watch your step. Don't lead the charge for no reason. Apart from Elder Qian, no one in the Martial Soul Empire can stop you. If the Star Luo Empire wins one victory after another, my plan will be ruined!"

"You have to force the Star Luo Empire to align itself with the Heavenly Dou!"

Dai Mubai glared at Han Feng angrily and said, "Do you think I'm an idiot?!"
