Chapter 86

……

At the same time, inside the Star Luo Imperial Palace.

After Nan Feng entered Star Luo City, Emperor Dai Tianfeng directly called more than half of the ministers in the court into the Imperial Palace, including the Duke of Nether, nearly ten Spirit Douluos, and nearly twenty Spirit Saints; this was almost the highest combat power of the Star Luo Empire.

Excluding the lack of Titled Douluos, the high-level Spirit Master power of the Star Luo Empire is no weaker than any other major Spirit Master force except for the Spirit Hall.

"Everyone, how do you view this Elder Nan Feng?" Dai Tianfeng scanned the ministers in the hall with a serious expression.

Seeing the Tiandou Empire being stirred into a mess by Nan Feng some time ago, he thought the Spirit Hall had changed its strategy and intended to profit from the war, but he didn't expect that just as his army gathered at the border, Nan Feng's speech turned all the spearheads of the Tiandou Empire towards Star Luo!

Who is the true enemy of the Tiandou Empire?

The Imperial Family? The nobles? Or the Spirit Masters?

It's Star Luo! It can only be Star Luo! In order to stabilize the public sentiment stirred up by Nan Feng, the nobles of the Tiandou Empire are now unprecedentedly united! They pointed all the spearheads at the Star Luo Empire, and coupled with the attitude Nan Feng showed in this conflict and his cooperation with the Tiandou Imperial Family, it is hard for him not to suspect that the Spirit Hall is preparing to support the Tiandou Imperial Family!

After all, a weak imperial family is much easier to control than a strong one.

It's not just the Spirit Hall; no Spirit Master sect wants Star Luo to destroy Tiandou.

"I can't understand it." The Duke of Nether shook his head.

"Whether it's his actions this time or his deeds in the Tiandou Empire over the years, I can't figure out the reason. In this situation, either this person is deep in schemes and far-reaching in calculations, reaching a level we cannot understand, or he is a madman who acts on a whim."

"However, a person who can stir up trouble in the Pope Palace and even command several Titled Douluo Elders cannot be a madman..."

"……"

The hall fell into silence; obviously, everyone thought about the same.

"Then what do you think is the purpose of his trip to Star Luo this time?" Dai Tianfeng asked.

He also didn't think this Nan Feng would be a madman who acts on a whim; after all, the things that guy did seemed to have no rules, but in fact, they were interlinked, and every step contained deep meaning.

He is not afraid of deep schemes; after all, everyone's routines are about the same. But this kind of blind messing around that can inexplicably connect... it's really a bit creepy.

"Perhaps it's because of the Star Luo Empire's army pressing on the border earlier." The Duke of Nether said.

"According to the news I gathered in the Tiandou Empire, this person is afraid he wants to take the opportunity to blackmail the Star Luo Empire."

"Blackmail?" Dai Tianfeng's eye twitched.

"What do you mean?"

"Does Your Majesty remember the incident when the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect went to war, and Emperor Xue Ye was robbed of five million Gold Spirit Coins by him?" The Duke of Nether said.

Dai Tianfeng was stunned, "He still dares to blackmail me with such things?"

He is not afraid of war! And the war between Star Luo and the Tiandou Empire was not his whim, but a conflict that has lasted for hundreds of years. Taking advantage of someone's precarious position—isn't this only natural?

Could it be that seeing the Tiandou Empire in trouble, he should help them intimately, and wait until the other side boosts their morale before deciding who is the winner?

Isn't that motherfucking brain-damaged? "Your Majesty, Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect once said in private when pacifying those nobles that this person, Nan Feng, will do anything and has no bottom line!" The Duke of Nether said gloomily.

"Just take the reform of the Tiandou nobles that day; it was entirely Nan Feng's own claim, forcibly pulling the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Tiandou Imperial Family into it, to the point of almost starting a great war."

"He even dares to mess around with such things; do you think there is anything he wouldn't do?"

"……"

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

"I am not afraid of his Spirit Hall's Titled Douluos."

Xue Ye could be threatened by Nan Feng, but in the end, it was because that old thing was too weak and was afraid of the Spirit Hall's Spirit Masters coming to play dirty and assassinate him.

Although Xue Ye has cultivation, that old thing only has cultivation, not strength. Most of the Tiandou Imperial Family is like this; after all, they hold the best resources, and their ancestors were all powerful Spirit Masters, so the inherited talent is mostly not too bad, at least they can all cultivate to Spirit Emperor, and even if they don't cultivate, they can be forcibly piled up.

But Spirit Masters piled up by external forces have floating spirit power.

Take Xue Ye for example; during the previous All-Continent Spirit Master Tournament, he showed his spirit rings—an eight-ring Spirit Douluo. But that Spirit Douluo of Xue Ye's—any Spirit Saint could rub him on the ground.

A flower vase.

But he is not a flower vase; an ordinary Titled Douluo cannot take him down in a short time.

Moreover, he lives deep in the Imperial Palace, and these guards are not just for show. Although Titled Douluos are strong, they are still human. Without spirit power, no matter how much of a Titled Douluo they are, they are still dead.

"Your Majesty, the spy from the Spirit Saint Hall just sent news that the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo, came with him." The Duke of Nether said.

Dai Tianfeng's expression stalled, "Dugu Bo? How could that old thing come?"

He is not afraid of other Titled Douluos, but this Dugu Bo—he is truly afraid! Because this Dugu Bo is too motherfucking special!

Even those Peak Douluos above level 95 can be piled to death with human sea tactics!

But this Dugu Bo—pile what? Once his snake poison is released, even among Titled Douluos, few dare to get close to him!

The reason his army retreated so fast this time was because he was afraid that Dugu Bo would run to his army's station and release poison!

When other Titled Douluos take action, the army at most consumes units of a hundred people, but if Dugu Bo takes action, it's thousands of casualties in minutes!

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

"Your Majesty, Elder Nan Feng of the Spirit Hall, carrying the granddaughter of the Poison Douluo, Dugu Yan, requests an audience outside the hall." The messenger eunuch ran in.

Dai Tianfeng took a deep breath, "Invite them in."

"Your Majesty, you should have thought of the reason, right?" The Duke of Nether said strangely.

"I thought of it, but I didn't expect that a dignified Elder would even do such a thing." Dai Tianfeng said speechlessly.

Kidnapping Dugu Bo's granddaughter! How could that guy not come?!

……

After a while, Nan Feng pulled Dugu Yan and walked into the hall quite harmoniously.

Dai Tianfeng also got up to welcome them quite politely, "Elder Nan Feng, your arrival is a great honor; I failed to welcome you from afar."

"It's fine, I'm a very reasonable person; just give me some compensation." Nan Feng said.

Dai Tianfeng's eye twitched, "Elder Nan Feng is joking."

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

"……"

The air suddenly went quiet.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.

Dai Tianfeng's side didn't expect Nan Feng to attack so directly, and even less did they expect him to use such a childish reason.

And Dugu Yan, who was forcibly pulled in by Nan Feng, really couldn't help but cry.

Big brother! Don't you have any foreplay when you cause trouble!? Give me some psychological preparation!

"How much does Elder Nan Feng want?" Dai Tianfeng asked directly.

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

"Fine, save me the extra words. Not much, one million; I'll forget about this matter."

"Deal." Dai Tianfeng agreed decisively.

Back then, Xue Ye bargained, and it went straight to five million! He must not make the same mistake in this link.
