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

Chapter 81 All Living Beings

……

"Sorry to keep you all waiting."

Nan Feng looked around and saw many familiar figures, even the old folks from Wuhun City had come.

"Thank you all for coming to Tiandou City. Although many of you were forced to come, I know that many of you would love to rush up and kill me."

"Because you could have been lying in your own manor, drinking wine, embracing the maids you just bought, and on a whim, you could have made love to them."

"But because of a few words from me, you were forced to leave your little courtyards, to leave your warm homes, and were sent to Tiandou City by your ancestors to die."

"You hate me, don't you?"

"Not going to speak? Then I'll assume you don't hate me," Nan Feng said.

"..."

Just as they were about to start cursing, the group of young nobles glared angrily at Nan Feng in the center of the square.

Did you fucking give us a chance?!

"Elder Nanfeng! Do you know what you've done?!"

In the guest section, a young nobleman stood up, looking somewhat haggard, indicating that he had not been doing well lately.

"What did I do?" Nan Feng asked.

"You are starting a war!" the young nobleman roared.

"Because of you, the Heavenly Dou Empire is plunged into internal strife! Because of you, the Star Luo Empire's army is pressing in! Because of you, the continent is about to be devastated!"

"If it weren't for your inexplicable regulations, the Heavenly Dou Empire would never have been at war!"

"You're the one who ruined everyone's lives!"

"You're insane!!"

"You're right! It's all your fault!"

"Take back your ridiculous rule immediately! The Heaven Dou Empire doesn't need the Spirit Hall's interference!"

"You've ruined the lives of all people!"

"..."

Once someone started it, the young nobles present erupted in protest.

They didn't have to come here to die; it was all this madman's fault!

"In the end, it was still an impulsive act," Ning Fengzhi sighed.

It's difficult to defy public anger. Even if changes are to be made, they should be done step by step, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water, rather than pouring boiling water directly on it, or even overturning the pot and pushing everyone into a sea of ​​fire.

"Feng Zhi, he's laughing." Gu Rong looked solemnly at Nan Feng, who was laughing with his head down in the square.

"Laugh?" Ning Fengzhi's expression froze, and he turned to look.

madman!

This guy is really crazy!

Did he really think the Spirit Hall would support him?

Even if Pope Bibi Dong goes mad along with Nan Feng, the Elder Hall and the large group of Soul Masters in the Spirit Hall will definitely not have a peaceful life and will not engage in such a harmful and self-defeating thing with Nan Feng!

The war between the two empires is not something that ends with a few deaths; it is a battle involving millions of people, and the continent is now littered with corpses!

"What are you laughing at!"

After a while of cursing, someone finally noticed that Nan Feng was not ashamed at all, but was laughing.

"I'm laughing at you guys." Nan Feng stopped laughing.

"To be honest, I always thought I was shameless enough, but I didn't expect you guys to be even more daring than me!"

Do you all feel entitled to stand on your moral high ground and point fingers at me?

"I started a war? Why would you think that? And on what basis do you say that?"

"Did I order you to amass troops for war, or did I order the Star Luo Empire's border troops to press in?"

"Didn't you guys ask to fight?"

"If it weren't for your ridiculous rules, how could everyone possibly prepare for war!" the young nobleman cursed.

"My rule?" Nan Feng looked puzzled.

"The Four Great Kingdoms are preparing for war because of my regulations? The Star Luo Empire is pressing its army forward because of my regulations? Did your fathers send you to your deaths in Heaven Dou City because of my regulations?"

"Isn't that right!" the young nobleman roared.

Nan Feng couldn't help but laugh. "Okay, it's my fault, it's all my fault."

"It's good that you know you're wrong. Quickly take back those ridiculous rules of yours!" the young nobleman said.

"I can take it back, and I can apologize to everyone. It was just a moment of impulse," Nan Feng said.

"But I hope everyone can answer a few questions for me."

"If a robber steals your wallet and you get it back, are you a robber too?"

"Of course not!" the young nobleman said.

"That was originally mine!"

"Well said, that was originally yours." Nan Feng clapped his hands.

"Then may I ask, where did your money come from?"

"Did you earn it yourself?"

"I..." The young nobleman was taken aback.

"That was given to me by my father."

"Then where did your father's money come from?" Nan Feng asked again.

"Of course, it's the salary the Heavenly Dou Empire gives him," the young nobleman said.

"Where does the salary come from?" Nanfeng asked.

"Taxes? You don't even know that?" The young nobleman was getting impatient.

"Where does the tax revenue come from?" Nan Feng continued to ask.

"At that time, it was..."

"They come from farmers, merchants, and all kinds of trading activities," Nan Feng said.

"You already know, why are you asking?" The young nobleman was somewhat angry.

"Then may I ask, why do they have to pay taxes? What is the purpose of paying taxes?" Nan Feng asked.

"Of course it is..." The young nobleman was taken aback.

"What reason do you need for this? Isn't paying taxes a given?"

Nan Feng glanced at the young nobleman with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot, then turned to Ning Fengzhi, "Sect Master Ning, why don't you tell him the answer to this question?"

Ning Fengzhi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by everyone, but he still answered Nan Feng's question. "The empire maintains social order, resists invasions by foreign enemies, and provides assistance to its citizens when disaster strikes, including but not limited to distributing food, providing disaster relief, and providing shelter for disaster victims. Every citizen has the obligation to pay taxes because they are born to enjoy the stability brought by the empire."

"Did you hear that?" Nan Feng looked back at the young nobleman.

"So what if I heard it? What does it have to do with what happened today?" the young nobleman said indignantly.

"Of course it's related," Nan Feng said.

"Rights and obligations coexist. There are no rights without obligations, nor should there be obligations without rights. Paying taxes is the duty of every citizen, and they have fulfilled their duty. But now, you robbers want to take away their rightful rights!"

"You wage war for your own benefit, not to defend against foreign invasion, but to protect the spoils you have plundered!"

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

"Commoners have their obligations, but what about the obligations of nobles?"

"Why are there nobles? Where did the original nobles come from? Was there a race called nobles from birth?"

"No! Nobles are born from commoners who are considered lowly by you idiots!"

"When you look down on commoners, treating them like pigs, dogs, cattle, and horses, have you ever considered that your ancestors were once among them?"

"You idiots look down not on strangers, but on your own ancestors!"

"Disrespecting one's ancestors is unfilial!"

"The Heavenly Dou Royal Family bestowed noble titles upon you, hoping you would contribute to the strength of the Heavenly Dou Empire. Yet you turn around and destroy this empire; this is disloyalty!"

"As nobles, they only know how to enjoy themselves, neglecting their responsibilities, and preying on the common people; this is utterly inhumane!"

"With the Star Luo Empire's army pressing in, they're still thinking of fighting amongst themselves—that's unjust!"

"A bunch of disloyal, unfilial, heartless, and unjust bastards! What right do you have to speak so presumptuously about the fate of the world in front of me?!"

"Just for the benefit of those bastards, countless people are being sent to their deaths, and you! You idiots! And you still think I've taken things from you!"

"You don't even know who the enemy is, yet you dare to question me?"

At this point, a red light flashed in Nan Feng's eyes, and his voice became increasingly cold.

"I want to get back everything that's rightfully mine for those who have had their things taken from them!"

"But these ignorant people, they still help those bandits, pointing their swords and guns at their own compatriots!"

"Soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire! Do you know what you're doing?!"

"..."

"What's going on?" Ning Fengzhi was taken aback.

How did we get involved with the soldiers of the Heavenly Dou Empire?

Gu Rong pointed to the giant conch shells placed around the square, "If I remember correctly, those are sound-transmitting conch shells, a type of sea spirit beast with powerful spiritual energy. If they are stimulated in a special way, they will transmit the sound they receive to their kin far away. Then, the sound-transmitting conch shells that receive these sounds will continue to transmit the sound they hear."

"If I'm not mistaken..."

"Today, Elder Nanfeng's voice can be heard in the Tian Dou Empire's army, as well as in the garrisons of the kingdoms below, and even in most of the densely populated areas of the Tian Dou Empire," Salas said.

"The Spirit Hall spent nearly three years collecting so many sound-transmitting conch shells, but we never expected that he would use them for this."

Ning Fengzhi's eye twitched slightly. "But how can you ensure that these words won't be blocked once they get out? And how can you let so many people hear them?"

"Of course, it was my Spirit Hall's group of Soul Douluo bishops and Title Douluo elders who personally guarded those key locations of the sound-transmitting conch shells, and added soul power to amplify those sounds so that people several kilometers away could hear them clearly!" Salas said.

"Sect Leader Ning, you don't actually think Elder Nanfeng's actions were just a spur-of-the-moment thing, do you?"

Ning Fengzhi chuckled.

Who the hell could have imagined this?!

And who would have thought that Nan Feng would actually try to incite the entire Heaven Dou Empire with words!

This guy really dares to do something like that!

"Before today, many people advised me, saying that it's hard to defy public anger, but I don't think so. Public anger? Is it the anger of those bastards?" Nan Feng asked.

"No! They don't deserve it!"

"The real anger of the people is your anger! It is the anger of the people of Tiandou!"

"Recognize who your enemy is!"

"Whom should you point your swords and spears at? And what are you fighting for?!"

"Are you going to turn your swords against your own families for the sake of those disloyal, unfilial, heartless, and unjust bastards?!"

"Answer me! You bunch of idiots who can't even tell the difference between enemies!!"

"No! No! No!"

"..."

"This..." Ning Fengzhi was completely dumbfounded.

Where did the sound come from?

"It's the Heavenly Dou City Imperial Guards under the command of General Ge Long," Xue Qinghe said.

"However, the army's encampment is quite a distance from here..."

How many people must be shouting like that?

The sound has reached this far?

"Recognize who your enemies are! Don't let these despicable, greedy bastards destroy this country! Destroy your lives!"

"Find these black sheep! Drive these plagues out of the Heavenly Dou Empire!"

"I know that you will soon forget what I said today, but I hope you will see it clearly!"

"Who started this war! Who betrayed the Heavenly Dou Empire!"

"Who plundered your wealth! Now, who will take your lives! Leaving you with nothing!"

"For the Heaven Dou Empire! And for yourselves!"

"Find them! Kill them!"
