Chapter 80

Time came to the afternoon, and the invited guests entered the venue slowly, though most of them had expressions of despair on their faces.

They were all sent by their families to die, and their task was to oppose this reform measure regarding noble titles in the upcoming assembly.

If they succeeded in their opposition, a war would be avoided; if their opposition was ineffective, everyone could imagine what would happen next.

Opposing the joint decision of the Tiandou Imperial Family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Spirit Hall in Tiandou City meant they would definitely die here. Even if this led to a war in the Tiandou Empire, they would definitely die here.

Besides the nobles, many Spirit Master families also came to join the fun, and many people from the Eight Great Families came as well.

Although the war between the two great empires had nothing to do with them, whether Tiandou destroyed Star Luo or Star Luo destroyed Tiandou, the Eight Great Families would still be the Eight Great Families, and the Seven Great Sects would still be the Seven Great Sects.

After all, the world of Spirit Masters is different from that of nobles; without strength, there is no status. Even if the previous generation was prosperous, as long as the current generation is not, they will fall from grace in a heartbeat.

Just like the Seven Great Sects, the Upper Three Sects haven't changed much for hundreds of years, but the Lower Four Sects almost undergo changes every hundred years.

There is simply no such situation as the two great empires where titles are passed down from generation to generation.

The world of Spirit Masters only cares about strength.

"Do you think they will fight?"

"The probability of war is very high."

In the seats of the Eight Great Families, several gray-bearded Spirit Douluo old men were gathered together.

"In the past, when the two great empires went to war, the Spirit Hall would always mediate in the middle, but this time, the Spirit Hall doesn't seem to have any intention of reconciling," said an old man with a thin build.

The two great empires would have conflicts every ten or twenty years, and the Spirit Hall would always intervene to mediate when both sides were helpless, not letting the situation get too big. Because of this, the Spirit Hall's image has always been good.

However, these old people in the Spirit Master world have more information and understand things more thoroughly.

Although the Star Luo Empire has the ambition to annex Tiandou, they are not idiots. Although the Tiandou Empire has long-standing accumulated ills, its foundation remains. If they fought head-on, even if Star Luo won, it would be a pyrrhic victory, which is not worth it at all.

Rather than nibbling away at it, it's better not to fight, let the Tiandou Empire relax its vigilance, let this huge empire rot even more thoroughly, and wait until the Tiandou Empire is truly unable to resist Star Luo before destroying the country in one battle! But the Spirit Hall cannot allow such things. After all, if the two great empires are at peace, the Spirit Hall's position will become very awkward.

The Spirit Hall needs to develop, grow, and continue, which cannot be separated from the large number of Spirit Masters absorbed from the two great empires. And Spirit Masters are not fools; most Spirit Masters have no ambition to compete for the title of the world's number one. They just want to enjoy life after reaching a certain height in their cultivation.

If the two great empires don't fight, the treatment they provide for Spirit Masters is something the Spirit Hall cannot match. Just take the pile of noble titles enfeoffed by the Tiandou Empire; the Spirit Hall cannot give out such things.

But what if the two great empires have to fight from time to time? War means death. The emperors of the two great empires are not fools either. People who obtain noble titles based on their cultivation are obligated to go to the battlefield during wartime. Only nobles who have truly earned military merit can obtain the qualification to "not fight."

It's just that Star Luo is warlike. The noble titles enfeoffed by the Star Luo Imperial Family can be eliminated by fighting a few more wars. Only those truly powerful Spirit Masters can retain their titles, and if they want to continue to raise their title level, they must obtain more military merit, so Star Luo is warlike as a whole.

But the Tiandou Empire is a bit awkward. Although it has the same noble policy as Star Luo, the Tiandou Empire does not like to fight, so more and more titles have been enfeoffed, to the point where they cannot be eliminated at all. These nobles have even formed a group and almost ignore the rule that nobles can only obtain the "not fight" qualification by participating in war and earning military merit. There are more and more nobles, but the total amount of rewards that can be given is limited, so what each person can get is less and less.

The old nobles unite, and their interests will not be shaken too much, but the new nobles who rely on cultivation to be enfeoffed later are awkward; they only have a noble title but no noble treatment.

By comparison, they naturally chose to defect to the Spirit Hall.

Over time, the power of the Spirit Hall grew larger and larger. Gradually, the Spirit Hall in every place became a kind of alternative nobility. They were more noble than the nobles enfeoffed by the two great empires because they had a large number of Spirit Masters and were concentrated together, and no one dared to offend them.

Therefore, in order to absorb more Spirit Masters, the Spirit Hall needs the two great empires to maintain a state of war, but they cannot fight too hard. Whether Star Luo destroys Tiandou or Tiandou destroys Star Luo, it is of no benefit to the Spirit Hall.

But now, the Spirit Hall seems to be helping Tiandou reform, but in reality, it has brought a greater crisis to Tiandou. The interests of the nobles are not so easy to touch.

"..."

Amidst the discussions of the crowd, the core figure of this incident finally appeared.

Facing the gnashing teeth of countless people, Nan Feng walked slowly to the center of the plaza, not going to the high platform prepared by Xue Ye.

"What does he mean by this?" Xue Ye asked, puzzled.

Nan Feng was prepared to give an explanation for this matter, but in such an occasion, one should stand in a high place to speak.

"He should want to compromise," Xue Xing said.

"After all, such a big thing, if not handled well, not only will the Tiandou Empire go to war, but the reputation of the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will also be damaged. This Elder Nan Feng is also young and vigorous."

Even a Titled Douluo Elder would not dare to act on his own and say such things. Even if the Pope were to do such a thing with huge influence, it would have to pass through the Elder Hall meeting.

According to the news he gathered, before this matter fermented, there was no news at all within the Spirit Hall. It can be said that this was something Nan Feng did on a whim! "Compromise? That's probably impossible," Xue Qinghe said.

Facing more than a dozen Titled Douluo of the Elder Hall, and even facing her grandfather, Nan Feng refused to give an inch. How could he back down on such an occasion?

"If he doesn't compromise, the Spirit Hall probably won't be able to tolerate him," Xue Xing said.

This matter was triggered by Nan Feng. Once the war starts, everyone in the world will think that the Spirit Hall started the war, and everyone will be hostile to the Spirit Hall. Unless this Nan Feng doesn't want his life, he must compromise and apologize to the nobles today.

"Not necessarily," Xue Qinghe said gloomily.

Nowadays, the Pope Palace has been completely controlled by the Pope, and all the Titled Douluo Elders in the Elder Hall except for the Grand Elders have been brainwashed by Nan Feng. Nearly seventy percent of the Spirit Masters in Wuhun City, from the Spirit Douluo Bishops to the guards on duty, and even a child who just learned to walk in Wuhun City, have been fooled by Nan Feng until their eyes flash with fire!

Although this guy is crazy, he can grasp what people desire most in their hearts and incite them.

Even she, and even her grandfather, no matter how much they look down on this bastard, they have to admit that what this bastard says makes sense! (End of chapter)
