Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Saint Master, Twelve Talismans Chaotic the Continent

Chapter 79 Nobles Everywhere

……

Some time later, a group of nobles invited by Yuexuan, the Heaven Dou royal family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the Spirit Hall arrived in Heaven Dou City one after another.

Of course, they were all cannon fodder.

Noble families are often composed of heirs and layabouts. When things are peaceful, the layabouts can be supported, but when things happen, these layabouts are expected to play a role.

To put it bluntly, most of the young nobles who came to Tiandou City this time were basically sent there by their families to their deaths.

If anything goes wrong at this meeting, those old nobles below could easily stage a rebellion and purge the court of corrupt officials.

"The four great kingdoms have begun preparations for war, and the Star Luo Empire has already deployed 500,000 troops to the border. Do you know what you're doing?"

Bibi Dong, who had been missing for several days, reappeared at Yuexuan. Nan Feng had been staying there for a while, and Tang Yuehua was helpless against this shameless behavior.

"I know, so what?" Nanfeng asked, puzzled.

"Do you want to start a war?" Bibi Dong asked.

"Why would you think that?" Nan Feng asked back.

"It's not about what I think, but what you're doing right now," Bibi Dong said.

All of Nan Feng's actions over the years have exacerbated conflicts. He has forcibly intensified those conflicts that would take decades, centuries, or even millennia to resolve, causing them to erupt at an accelerated pace.

When too many contradictions pile up and become unsolvable, war becomes the only solution.

"After all these years, I thought you would understand me at least a little bit, but I didn't expect you to still be the same as them." Nan Feng sighed, stood up and walked away.

"What has he been doing here all this time?" Bibi Dong turned to look at Tang Yuehua.

Tang Yuehua paused for a moment, then said, "Eat, sleep."

"With whom?"

"Come with me."

"..."

"You don't hold a grudge against him for what he did to the Haotian Sect?" Bibi Dong asked, puzzled.

Why does she see that Tang Yuehua doesn't seem to have any feelings about this matter?

"I felt a little at first, but now I don't feel anything," Tang Yuehua said.

"Why?" Bibi Dong asked.

"It's pointless," Tang Yuehua said.

"He's a madman, and I can't bring myself to hate a madman."

"I don't know how to describe it, but... he gave me the feeling that even if I killed him, it wouldn't make any sense."

Helplessness was the most direct feeling Nanfeng gave her.

She had no way to deal with him.

He accepts all malice from others, even unprovoked malice, and he can even face that malice with a smile.

He might not be happy, but... he doesn't care!

……

Tiandou Plaza.

This is a huge venue used by the Heaven Dou Empire when holding grand ceremonies. To thank Nan Feng for helping the Heaven Dou Empire with its reforms, Xue Ye enthusiastically cleaned up this place.

Now, nobles, wealthy merchants, and most of the Soul Master families from all over the Heaven Dou Empire have come to visit this special "grand event".

The Heavenly Dou Empire is now at a critical juncture of life and death, beset by internal and external troubles. If this matter is not resolved properly, a continental war will break out.

"Father, don't worry, Elder Nanfeng will handle this matter."

In the VIP section of the square, Xue Ye sat nervously in her seat, as did the other members of the Tian Dou royal family.

The Heavenly Dou Empire has ten provinces, five of which are directly controlled by the emperor, while the remaining provinces are managed by four kingdoms and one duchy.

Moreover, the emperor still controls over 60% of the Tiandou Empire's military power and 70% of its economy. This is the main reason why the major kingdoms below, though eyeing the empire covetously, have not yet taken any action.

They lacked the ability to rebel; they were willing but powerless.

However, the internal war between nobles that Nan Feng is instigating now affects not only the four great kingdoms and the Grand Duchy, but also a large number of nobles who have been enfeoffed by the royal family in the five provinces under their control over the past thousand years in order to attract young soul masters!

In other words, those who want to rebel now are not only those kingdoms and duchies, but also those "insiders" who were previously rewarded by the Heavenly Dou royal family.

The Heavenly Dou Royal Family is now truly surrounded by enemies!

Although they control 60% of the military power of the Heaven Dou Empire, with nearly a million soldiers, they still can't withstand being stabbed in the back by their own people when they go to war with Star Luo!

"This war absolutely must not break out, otherwise, the Heavenly Dou Empire will truly be finished," Xue Ye said worriedly.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Once the chaos begins, the Star Luo Empire will definitely target the Heaven Dou Royal Family first, and only after defeating them will it turn its attention to dealing with the other kingdoms and duchies.

In the past, even if those kingdoms and duchies didn't help, they at least wouldn't cause trouble. After all, if the royal family lost, the Star Luo Empire wouldn't let those kingdoms off the hook.

But now, those kingdoms and duchies could probably directly unite with Xingluo Gantian Dou!

"Qinghe, you acted impulsively. How could you agree to such radical measures?" Xueye sighed.

He didn't think Xue Qinghe could persuade Nan Feng and Ning Fengzhi to do this. It was more likely that Nan Feng and Ning Fengzhi discussed it first, and then Xue Qinghe, young and impulsive, agreed on the spot.

He initially thought it was a good idea to let the nobles solve the problem of too many titles themselves, but it's only been a few days!

Only today did he realize just how "united" those Soul Master nobles he had bestowed titles upon were!

The old nobles didn't want to fight; they just wanted to pass on their titles peacefully!

Although many nobles wanted to fight, there were far too few.

"Father, even if you don't believe in the Spirit Hall, you should believe in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School," Xue Qinghe said.

The old emperor mistakenly believed that she had conspired with Ning Fengzhi and Nan Fengqian to commit this crime, and she had no way to deny it.

However, even if Nan Feng wanted to go crazy, Ning Fengzhi would consider the overall situation and mobilize the power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to stabilize the people below.

"The Crown Prince still doesn't understand Sect Master Ning well enough," Prince Xuexing said quietly.

"What, does Prince Xuexing think I have ulterior motives?" Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong slowly walked over.

"Ahem, no." Xue Xing was a little embarrassed. He was standing on the side of the avalanche, while Ning Fengzhi was standing on the side of Xue Qinghe. It was fine to say a few words behind someone's back, but saying it to their face was a different matter.

"Sect Master Ning, do you know how Elder Nanfeng plans to resolve this matter?" Xueye asked anxiously.

On the mainland today, a major war is about to break out!

If this matter is not handled properly and those nobles are not appeased, the Star Luo Empire will surely take the opportunity to start a war. Beset by internal and external troubles, the Heavenly Dou Empire will surely be defeated!

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Elder Nanfeng can handle this matter," Ning Fengzhi said.

Although he himself wasn't sure.

After all, the Heaven Dou Empire used to offer far too many titles to attract young Soul Masters!

Nowadays, most Soul Master families on the continent have titles from the Heaven Dou Empire!

The Spirit Hall has a large number of Soul Masters with inherited noble titles on their heads!

He had never noticed before that the Heaven Dou Empire had so many nobles!

It is no exaggeration to say that nearly 30% of the Soul Masters within the Heaven Dou Empire have noble titles!

No wonder the Heavenly Dou Empire, which was stronger than the Star Luo Empire a thousand years ago, has become what it is today.

There are too many nobles!
