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

Chapter 86 Understanding and Reasonable

……

Meanwhile, inside the Star Luo Imperial Palace.

After Nan Feng entered Xingluo City, Emperor Dai Tianfeng summoned more than half of the ministers in the court to the palace, including Duke Youming, nearly ten Soul Douluos, and nearly twenty Soul Saints. This was practically the highest combat force of the Xingluo Empire.

Aside from the lack of titled Douluo, the Star Luo Empire's high-level Soul Master strength is no weaker than any other major Soul Master force except for the Spirit Hall.

"Gentlemen, what is your opinion of Elder Nanfeng?" Dai Tianfeng asked solemnly, his gaze sweeping over the assembled ministers in the hall.

Some time ago, when he saw that the Heaven Dou Empire was in chaos because of Nan Feng, he thought that the Spirit Hall had changed its strategy and was planning to profit from the war. However, he did not expect that just as his army was assembled at the border, Nan Feng's speech turned the Heaven Dou Empire's spearhead against the Star Luo!

Who is the true enemy of the Heaven Dou Empire?

Royal family? Nobles? Or Soul Masters?

It's Xingluo!

It can only be Xingluo!

In order to stabilize the public sentiment that Nan Feng had stirred up, the nobles of the Heavenly Dou Empire are now more united than ever before!

With all the blame pointed at the Star Luo Empire, coupled with Nan Feng's attitude in this conflict and his cooperation with the Heaven Dou Royal Family, it's hard for him not to suspect that the Spirit Hall is preparing to support the Heaven Dou Royal Family!

After all, a weak royal family is much easier to control than a powerful one.

Not only the Spirit Hall, but no spirit master sect wants the Star Luo to destroy the Heaven Dou.

"I don't understand." Duke Youming shook his head.

"Whether it's his actions this time or his behavior in the Heaven Dou Empire over the years, I can't understand the reason. Either this person is very cunning and has a deep mind, and his plans are so far-reaching that they are beyond our comprehension, or he is just a crazy person who does whatever he wants."

"However, someone who can command influence in the Papal Palace and even direct several Title Douluo elders can't possibly be a madman..."

"..."

Silence fell over the hall; clearly, everyone thought roughly the same thing.

"Then what do you think is the purpose of his trip to Xingluo?" Dai Tianfeng asked.

He didn't think Nan Feng was some kind of crazy person who acted on a whim. After all, what that guy did seemed to be without any rules, but in fact, they were all interconnected, and every step had a hidden meaning.

He wasn't afraid of any cunning schemes, since everyone's methods were pretty much the same. But this kind of chaotic mess that somehow managed to connect inexplicably... was really a bit creepy.

"Perhaps it's because of the previous invasion of my Star Luo Empire's army," said Duke Youming.

"Based on the information I gathered in the Heaven Dou Empire, this person is probably trying to take this opportunity to extort money from the Star Luo Empire."

"Extortion?" Dai Tianfeng's eyes twitched slightly.

"What do you mean?"

"Does Your Majesty still remember when the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect went to war, and Emperor Xueye was robbed of five million gold soul coins?" Duke Youming asked.

Dai Tianfeng was taken aback. "He dares to blackmail me with something like this?"

He's not afraid of war!

Moreover, the war between Xingluo and Tiandou Empire was not something he decided on a whim, but a conflict that had lasted for hundreds of years. Isn't it only natural for him to take advantage of someone's misfortune?

Does he expect him to offer help to the Heavenly Dou Empire when it faces problems, and then settle things once the other side has boosted its morale?

Isn't that just plain stupid?

"Your Majesty, Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School once said in private when he was appeasing those nobles that Nan Feng is a man who will do anything and has no bottom line!" Duke Youming said quietly.

"Take the reforms of the Tiandou nobles, for example. It was all Nan Feng's own doing. He forcibly dragged the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Tiandou royal family into it, which almost caused a war."

"If he dares to do something like this, do you think there's anything he wouldn't do?"

"..."

"But how can he threaten me?" Dai Tianfeng said.

"I'm not afraid of his titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall."

The reason why Xueye could be threatened by Nanfeng was ultimately because that old man was too weak and he was afraid that the Spirit Hall's soul masters would try to assassinate him in a sneaky way.

Although Xue Ye's cultivation level was online, that old man only had cultivation level, not strength. Most of the Heaven Dou royal family were like this, after all, they controlled the best resources, and their ancestors were all powerful Soul Masters. The talents they inherited were mostly not bad, at least they could cultivate to the Soul Emperor level, and even if they did not cultivate, they could forcibly push themselves to that level.

Soul masters who rely solely on external forces to build up their power have weak and unstable soul power.

Take that snowy night for example. In previous All-Continent Soul Master Competitions, he even showcased his soul rings, becoming an eight-ring Soul Douluo.

But that Soul Douluo in the snowy night could be easily crushed by any Soul Saint.

It's just a pretty face.

But he's no mere showman; ordinary titled Douluo can't defeat him in a short time.

Moreover, he lived deep within the palace, and the Imperial Guards were not just for show. Although a Title Douluo was strong, he was still a human being. Without soul power, even a Title Douluo was doomed.

"Your Majesty, our spies from the Spirit Temple just reported that Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo, has come with him," said Duke Youming.

Dai Tianfeng's expression froze. "Dugu Bo? Why is that old man here?"

He wasn't afraid of other Title Douluos, but he was truly afraid of Dugu Bo!

Because Dugu Bo is just too damn special!

Even those peak Douluo above level 95 can be overwhelmed by sheer numbers!

But what a load of crap this Dugu Bo is!

When he releases his snake venom, even few titled Douluos dare to get close to him!

The reason he withdrew his army so quickly this time was because he was afraid that Dugu Bo would poison his army's encampment!

When other titled Douluo make a move, the army can only be reduced to a hundred men at most, but if Dugu Bo makes a move, there will be tens of thousands of casualties in no time!

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

"I don't know, but..."

"Your Majesty, Elder Nanfeng of the Spirit Hall, along with Dugu Yan, the granddaughter of Poison Douluo, requests an audience outside the hall." The messenger eunuch rushed in.

Dai Tianfeng took a deep breath. "Please let them in."

"Your Majesty, you should have figured out the reason by now," Duke Youming said strangely.

"I did think of it, but I never expected that an elder would do something like this," Dai Tianfeng said speechlessly.

They kidnapped Dugu Bo's granddaughter!

Of course they'd come!

……

Before long, Nan Feng pulled Dugu Yan along and they walked into the main hall in a relatively harmonious manner.

Dai Tianfeng also rose to greet him politely, "Elder Nanfeng, it is an honor to have you here. I am sorry for not welcoming you sooner."

"It's alright, I'm a very reasonable person, a little apology will suffice," Nan Feng said.

Dai Tianfeng's eye twitched. "Elder Nanfeng is joking."

"You old codger, do I look like I'm joking?" Nan Feng asked.

"..."

The air fell silent.

The atmosphere inside the hall instantly became tense.

Dai Tianfeng's side did not expect Nan Feng to launch such a direct attack, nor did they expect him to use such a childish reason.

Dugu Yan, who had been forcibly dragged in by Nan Feng, was on the verge of tears.

Dude! Don't you ever give a warning before you start something?!

Give me some time to prepare myself!

"How many does Elder Nanfeng want?" Dai Tianfeng asked directly.

"Oh? I didn't expect you to be such a straightforward person?" Nan Feng was quite surprised.

"Alright, to save me from rambling. Not much, one million. I forgot about that."

"Deal." Dai Tianfeng agreed decisively.

That snowy night, because of haggling, the price was reduced to five million!

He is unlikely to make the same mistake in this situation.
