Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo.

"It shouldn't be yet." Tang San shook his head. If Lu Mingfei had already become a god, then his divine trial on Seagod Island would not have been hidden from the divine sense.

"How could this be? Even you weren't confident you could keep him?" Dai Mubai sat back down, feeling helpless and unable to accept the fact.

This is also because Tang San concealed Lu Mingfei's achievements beforehand. In Dai Mubai's eyes, Lu Mingfei was still just the number one genius on the continent.

Of course, Tang San had no interest in explaining these things to Dai Mubai; all he needed from beginning to end was Dai Mubai's identity.

As for the master, although he was surprised by Lu Mingfei's strength, he believed that Lu Mingfei had not become a god and was definitely no match for his disciple. What they needed now was a plan to leave Lu Mingfei with nowhere to go.

This is also why Tang San came to Shrek Academy to find the Grandmaster; he needed the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Star Luo behind Dai Mubai.

Lu Mingfei must know that he has become a god. If there are no accidents, he must be guarding Wuhun City to protect Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong.

If he were to come to Lu Mingfei himself, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Therefore, he needs external forces; the power of the two great empires and the three upper sects is indispensable.

The Heaven Dou Empire is unlikely to face any major problems, as the Avalanche Sect will always follow their lead. However, the situation is less certain for the Star Luo Empire.

Because the Star Emperor was too clever, and cleverness means that accidents are prone to happen.

After a moment of contemplation, the master finally spoke. In fact, Dai Mubai had also figured out the basic implications.

"It's less about creating an opportunity for Xiao San and more about creating an opportunity for us. The Spirit Hall was already preparing for war, probably intending to rely on Lu Mingfei's power to sweep across the continent. But now it's different. With your appearance, Xiao San, the Spirit Hall will inevitably switch to strategic defense and wait for those two Divine Examiners to become gods."

"In that case, what we need now is to take the initiative and not give them any chance to retaliate. By combining the strength of the two great empires, we can launch an attack on the Spirit Hall. With Xiao San in charge, they are destined to be routed."

"When the time comes, millions of troops from the two great empires will besiege Wuhun City. Wuhun Hall will surely perish. Our primary goal is to eliminate those two Divine Examiners. At the same time, this is also the only opportunity for Lu Mingfei to possibly reveal a weakness."

This problem is actually easy for everyone to understand; they only have one optimal solution from beginning to end.

That means killing the examiners first, then eliminating Lu Mingfei; otherwise, if an examiner becomes a god, then everything is off the table.

What the master said was exactly what Tang San was thinking. He turned to look at Dai Mubai.

"Mu Bai, I plan to take you back to Xingluo and have your father appoint you as the crown prince. What do you think?"

This is Tang San's most important purpose in bringing Tang Xiao to Shrek Academy today: the Star Luo Emperor must be an obedient dog, just like Xue Beng.

Making Dai Mubai the crown prince was a test. If the Star Luo Emperor disagreed, he would have no choice but to show him what divine might was, and then personally send Dai Mubai to the throne.

"Really?" Dai Mubai's eyes widened, he could hardly believe his ears.

“That’s right, we’ll set off today. The Star Luo Empire needs to mobilize its troops immediately to cooperate with the Heaven Dou Empire’s operations. Mu Bai, who else but you can do this mission?” Tang San stood up, patted Dai Mu Bai on the shoulder, and gave him an encouraging smile.

"I knew you wouldn't forget me, Third Brother." Dai Mubai revealed the smile of a foolish son of a wealthy family, clenching his fist at his chest to express his gratitude and loyalty.

He swore in his heart that from now on he would be Tang San's dog.

Meanwhile, a battle in Wuhun City also came to an end with the breaking of dawn.

"Sigh." Lu Mingfei sighed and stared blankly at the ceiling for a while.

Too decadent, too indulgent—is this what a corrupt feudal class looks like?

The sugar-coated bullets of class enemies are indeed terrifying!

Chapter 319 Tang San's Absolute Safety

The rooster crows at dawn, and the sun rises in the east.

Now that the plan was set, Grandmaster immediately set off, preparing to follow Tang Xiao and Tang San into the palace to meet Xue Beng and discuss the attack on the Spirit Hall.

Dai Mubai also took his leave to pack his luggage, preparing to depart for Xingluo in the afternoon.

"Xiao San, you really trust Dai Mubai that much?" Tang Xiao glanced at Dai Mubai, who was scurrying away, and couldn't help but show a hint of disdain.

Although Davis, whom I met last time, wasn't much better, he at least had more backbone than Dai Mubai, who was practically begging for mercy.

“Mu Bai is simpler-minded and is an indispensable part of our plan.” Tang San shook his head gently.

Neither Dai Mubai nor Davis is important; what matters is the attitude of the Star Luo Emperor. Dai Mubai is merely a stepping stone, and in addition, it can be considered as fulfilling his father's promise.

"We must act as soon as possible, the sooner the better." A chilling glint flashed in Tang San's eyes.

Since the Spirit Hall is secretly preparing for war, they should catch their opponent off guard and strike first.

The person who understands a person best is often their enemy.

Lu Mingfei is arrogant, immature, lecherous, and shameless.

Once the two great empires launch a joint attack with millions of troops, the Spirit Hall, with its current strength, will undoubtedly be defeated.

In order to save the Spirit Hall and the Holy Maiden of the Qian family, Lu Mingfei had no choice but to take action.

Even a god like him would be too weak to fight an army of millions.

At that time, Lu Mingfei will inevitably be unable to withstand the consumption of both soul power and mental energy. Then, he will blend into the million-strong army and secretly deliver a powerful blow to Lu Mingfei, letting Lu Mingfei see the power of his Tang Sect's ultimate technique.

Tang Xiao simply nodded in agreement; Dai Mubai was indeed insignificant.

"But are the million-strong armies of the two empires really enough? The Spirit Hall still has that old guy, Qian Daoliu." Tang Xiao had naturally heard Tang San talk about the plan. Although the two empires might suffer heavy losses, it was all worth it compared to destroying the Spirit Hall.

His concern was that this force was far from enough. Qian Daoliu, a level 99 peerless Douluo, was probably enough to hold off half the army. With the others added, perhaps even without Lu Mingfei's intervention, this million-strong army would be wiped out.

Tang San nodded; of course he had considered these things.

"Therefore, we need to gather all our strength. Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is opportunistic. I will personally go to his door. He will not dare to disobey my request. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School can send our teacher back to negotiate. I previously learned from Avalanche that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School had sent someone to assassinate Lu Mingfei. Yu Yuanzhen has no reason not to cooperate with our actions."

"In addition, I will order the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluos of Seagod Island to come and join the battle."

"As for Dugu Bo, he seems to have left Tiandou City and disappeared. He probably saw that the wind was not right and went into hiding in advance. However, he is the weakest title, so let's not mention him."

"As for the rest..."

Tang San paused for a moment when he said this, but Tang Xiao understood the meaning behind Tang San's words very well.

Tang San named all the publicly known Title Douluos on the entire continent, leaving only the Clear Sky Sect.

"Xiao San, what are you thinking about?" Tang Xiao met Tang San's cold and sharp gaze, and his face showed an extremely solemn expression.

My grandfather had given me a stern warning: I must not participate in any activities that oppose the Spirit Hall.

He himself was already on Lu Mingfei's kill list and had nowhere to escape, but the other members of the Haotian Sect should never have been dragged into this.

What if Tang San can't handle Lu Mingfei and lets him escape? Wouldn't the Clear Sky Sect be in big trouble?

Tang Xiao harbored a deep-seated, unspoken fear of Lu Mingfei. Even though Tang San had become a god, he didn't believe he could truly destroy Lu Mingfei.

This great battle will most likely end in a draw, with Tang San leaving for overseas.

Tang San was surprised that even his uncle Tang Xiao didn't think highly of him. He was even a little angry for a moment. He had become a god. How could he possibly lose to Lu Mingfei?

In Tang San's plan, the power of the Clear Sky Sect is crucial. If even the Clear Sky Sect does not support him, how many people in the two great empires will be determined to fight to the end?

More importantly, only by sending disciples of the Haotian Sect out of seclusion to fight could they force Great-Grandfather Tang Chen to make a final desperate attempt for the sake of the sect's disciples.

He understood the power of the Asura Demon Sword more clearly after becoming the Sea God. After his great-grandfather used it to explode the ring, it was absolutely comparable to a true god for a short period of time. In terms of attack power alone, it was even above his Sea God power.

To ensure the success of this great battle, the strength of Great-Grandfather Tang Chen is absolutely indispensable.

"Uncle, do you really think that if we lose, the Spirit Hall will let the Clear Sky Sect go?" Tang San didn't refute Tang Xiao, but instead asked in return.

"Perhaps Lu Mingfei is indeed someone who keeps his promises, but can the people of the Spirit Hall truly forget their hatred?"

"In this world, many things will fade away with time, but only hatred will never be forgotten by the years."

“Once the Spirit Hall unifies the continent, how will the Clear Sky Sect be any different from fish on a chopping board? Even if they don’t make a move, others will come and tear the Clear Sky Sect apart.”

"Does the sect really want to one day hold onto the Clear Sky Hammer and obediently wait to die?"

After Tang San finished speaking, he glanced at Tang Xiao. Tang Xiao's heart trembled. How could he not understand these principles?

It's all due to deeply ingrained problems that are difficult to reverse.

Tang Xiao closed his eyes, revealing a pained expression.

Seeing this, Tang San naturally understood that Tang Xiao had tacitly agreed. All he needed to do next was to approach the elders of the Haotian Sect and explain the pros and cons.

As for the great-grandfather, he couldn't possibly just sit idly by and watch his sons, nephews, and grandsons die, could he?

Although it's not good to scheme against the Clear Sky Sect so openly, Tang San is confident that as long as he can get rid of Lu Mingfei, he can bring the Clear Sky Sect to an even more glorious level.

The ancestors of the Tang family, including his father, would definitely be proud of him.

Even if he fails, with Tang Chen's protection, he can still retreat to Seagod Island to preserve the lineage of the Clear Sky Sect. It's better than them being at the mercy of the Spirit Hall in the future.

In fact, this was just Tang San's worst-case scenario; the actual situation might not be as bad as he imagined.

Lu Mingfei ultimately did not become a god. Even though his strength was slightly higher than his great-grandfather's, how could the soul power of a mortal compare to the vastness of divine power?

These measures he prepared were simply to ensure everything went perfectly and to give Lu Mingfei no chance to catch his breath.

More than these, he is now afraid of another problem: if Lu Mingfei completely abandons the Spirit Hall and escapes from Spirit City with Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue to live in seclusion until someone becomes a god and then launches a counterattack, that would be the real trouble.

At that point, he'll probably only have one option left: to go to the realm of gods to avoid disaster.

Chapter 320 Title Conferment

The city of Wuhun has been unusually quiet these past few days, with the few high-ranking officials all attending a meeting in the Papal Palace.

Although Lu Mingfei's plan to feign weakness was barely approved, this was a moment that would determine the fate of the entire continent, and no carelessness was allowed. Many details needed to be considered, and the most crucial point was how to ensure that Tang San would take the bait with this invitation.

First, once they send out the invitations, everyone on the continent will know what the Spirit Hall is up to, and at that point, very few people will dare to come.

After all, this is no different from catching a turtle in a jar.

No matter how wonderful their performance is, if the protagonist Tang San doesn't show up, it will all be like throwing a flirtatious glance at a blind person.

“The reason needs to be changed. We can’t say we’re here to attend the coronation ceremony. Let’s say we’re here to attend Mingfei’s title conferment ceremony.” Qian Renxue suggested first. These were things that she and Lu Mingfei had discussed and perfected together.

"Secondly, we can add a provocative element by announcing that we are preparing to hold the selection competition of the seven major sects again on that day, or we can bestow upon Lu Mingfei the title of the number one Douluo in the world, and all soul masters in the soul master world can come to watch and challenge him."

This content is entirely designed to stir up trouble, aiming to attract busybodies and let them enjoy the spectacle.

"I have no objection to this matter, but isn't the proposed title a bit too arrogant?" Lu Mingfei raised his hand. He had previously given Qian Renxue the right to decide on his title.

After all, he hadn't come up with a good title after thinking for so long, so he simply handed it over to Qian Renxue, who was very interested. Anyway, as long as it wasn't a title like Dragon God Douluo that offended the Venerable Ones, using Black Dragon Douluo or something like that wouldn't be a problem.

"Oh?" Qian Daoliu and the others also glanced at the contents of the plan submitted by Qian Renxue, and indeed it mentioned the proposed title for Lu Mingfei.

"Supreme Douluo?"

"Cough cough."

Even the steady old fogies like Qian Daoliu and Jin E couldn't help but cough twice when they saw this title.

This title practically screams arrogance.

The other elders exchanged glances and smiled.

If such a title were placed on them, their own brothers would probably be tempted to beat them up, but at this moment, it couldn't be more fitting for Lu Mingfei.

Their Spirit Hall was originally planning to overturn the entire continent, so it would be strange if they weren't arrogant.

"I think this title is great, it's imposing and suits our son-in-law very well." Demon-Slaying Douluo clapped and nodded in approval.

The other elders echoed this sentiment, saying that with such a title, it would be difficult for Tang San not to attend that day.

"Why do I feel like I've turned into some kind of signature pizza?" Lu Mingfei blinked and gave a wry smile, but when faced with Qian Renxue's death stare, he swallowed his words.

As for whether a titled Douluo will actually come to challenge them, nobody cares.

Apart from Tang San and Tang Chen, there are no other Title Douluos on the continent who can cause trouble for the Spirit Hall.

Even if Tang Chen breaks the agreement and takes action, it won't be a big problem. The three of them—Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue—working together are more than enough to contend with the opponent.

This plan involves numerous titled warriors in a chaotic battle, which is clearly an excellent opportunity for Tang San to coordinate a counterattack against the Spirit Hall. Tang San will most likely not miss it.

Just then, there was a knock on the conference room door, and a secret letter was brought in by a cardinal.

It was a secret letter from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Qian Renxue opened it first to check, and then quickly passed it on to Lu Mingfei and the other Douluo.

Tang San did indeed return as a god, and just as they had predicted, he immediately prepared to gather the power of the two great empires to launch an attack against them.

Fortunately, they had evacuated all members of the Spirit Hall from the two empires beforehand; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The appearance of this letter completely eliminated the wishful thinking of some elders, and what they would face next was a life-or-death struggle.

"Gentlemen, it seems our enemy is more impatient than we thought, which shows how afraid he is of us," Qian Renxue said, trying to boost morale.

After all, this is a god-level opponent, which is undoubtedly a nightmare for a titled Douluo.
