Chapter 606: Lv Lingqi Sets Out on an Expedition

Xue Ke turned her head to look; the person walking into the great hall was a stunning beauty with silver hair, heroic and spirited, wearing black fitted armor—it was none other than Lv Lingqi.

"Sister Lingqi?" Xue Ke was startled. For the two years prior to the Tiandou Palace Coup, she had lived in the Gu Lei Kingdom, so she naturally knew Lv Lingqi, and she also knew the relationship between Lingqi and Feihuang, which was even more intimate than her own.

While she did feel jealous, she did not harbor any rejection toward Lingqi.

After all, her living environment was the imperial family; compared to the thirty or forty concubines in her father's harem, Feihuang had only taken her and Lingqi as his wives so far. For a Crown Prince of a nation, and the sole heir to the empire, this could be considered very few. In fact, many ministers had submitted memorials requesting the Crown Prince to continue taking concubines to ensure the continuation of the lineage.

After all, Lingqi currently put her heart and soul into cultivation, while Xue Ke had become the Empress of Tiandou and lived in Tiandou year-round, meaning she and Feihuang were often separated.

Feihuang was already twenty-one years old, yet he didn't even have a single child. On this point, while Feihuang wasn't anxious, his ministers were anxious for him.

When Nan Tianchen was his age, at least his eldest daughter, Nan Feiyan, had already been born.

But Feihuang had rejected them all. He only felt that his current life was already very good, and he was in no rush for offspring. Once the continent was pacified, there would be plenty of time later to slowly have children with his three wives.

Therefore, Xue Ke had long since become good friends with Lingqi. Back then, the two of them would play the zither and dance before Feihuang, truly bringing him enjoyment like that of an immortal.

Ten parts perfect with nine parts beauty; the only missing part of that beauty was a little angel to feed him grape wine, though this was something Feihuang would also achieve in the future.

"Sister Lingqi, you say you want to go and block the Spirit Empire army led by Bibi Dong? That is too dangerous. How could Brother Feihuang be at ease letting you go?" Xue Ke said, holding Lv Lingqi's hand with worry.

She naturally knew how strong Lv Lingqi's talent was, but no matter how strong, she was only twenty-one years old now; could her strength really be mentioned in the same breath as Bibi Dong's?

"Hehe, Ke'er, you can rest assured. If I didn't have certainty, I naturally wouldn't send Lingqi," Feihuang laughed.

He understood the strength of both Bibi Dong and Lv Lingqi.

Bibi Dong did indeed possess the soul power of a Limit Douluo, but constrained by the Rakshasa God's God Trial, she could not exert her full strength.

In the original story, a level ninety-three Tang San, holding the Sea God Trident and facing her alone while cut off from Ning Rongrong's support, did not fall into a disadvantage at all, and even used schemes during the battle to force her into a desperate situation step by step.

Today's Lingqi also held a divine artifact, and her soul power had reached level ninety-six. In terms of combat technique, having spent years in deep study of the Ghost God Halberd Technique, she surpassed Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record by an unknown margin.

Feihuang was confident that if Lingqi faced Bibi Dong in a sparring match, her odds of winning exceeded seventy percent. If it were a fight to the death, she currently could not break Bibi Dong's Undying Body, but Bibi Dong absolutely could not break her Ghost God Halberd Technique and Peerless Ghost God Art.

Nine times out of ten, it would become a stalemate, or even one where Lingqi held the upper hand.

That was enough; Feihuang had never hoped to rely on Lv Lingqi alone to kill Bibi Dong.

What he needed was time. Before he defeated Star Luo, as long as he could ensure Jialing Pass did not fall, then it would be his victory.

After all, Jialing Pass did not just block the Spirit Empire from invading the Heaven Dou Empire; it was also a barrier for the Gu Lei Empire. Without taking Jialing Pass, it would be difficult for the Spirit Empire to send a large army into the territory of the Gu Lei Empire.

In the original story, they had indeed taken this pass before the Shrek Seven Devils arrived on the battlefield, occupying the strategic advantage.

But now, with Feihuang having arranged for Ge Long to be on alert in advance, history would absolutely not repeat itself.

"Sister Xue Ke, believe me, the current me can absolutely help my husband," Lingqi said with firm conviction.

Why had she spent many years separated from Nan Feihuang, going to Sea God Island for training, if not for the hope that her strength would improve so she could help Nan Feihuang?

Now that she had finally returned, if she could only hide behind her husband, what was the point of her training? Therefore, this time, even if Feihuang did not send her, she would have requested to go herself. Seeing Lv Lingqi's determined face, Xue Ke subconsciously wanted to choose to believe her. "Then, Sister Lingqi, this time, I leave the Heaven Dou Empire to you."

"The two of you must look out for each other. I believe all difficulties can be solved," Feihuang said with gratification as he saw the two of them as harmonious as sisters.

"Ke'er, besides Lingqi, I will also send Senior Dugu Bo, Seniors Long Gong and She Po, Senior Yu Yuanzhen, Senior Yang Wudi, the three brothers Jia Kui, Pan Feng, and Xing Daorong, as well as the partners who returned from training on Sea God Island to assist you."

To deal with a mere Star Luo Empire, there was no need to send out all the elites. Feihuang even only planned to send one elite force to launch a surprise attack on Star Luo.

The number of people didn't need to be high; a vanguard of one or two thousand Spirit Masters plus ten thousand light cavalry would suffice, with the main army following behind.

As for high-level Spirit Masters, it would be himself, his mother Lan Xue, Dian Wei, and three Title Douluo; this was aimed at the Clear Sky Sect.

Dian Wei had taken the initiative to request the mission from Nan Feihuang, planning to pack up and resolve the five remaining Title Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect by himself.

Next were Xun Yu and Ye Lingling; they were aimed at the Star Luo army.

That was enough!

Xun Yu's martial soul, paired with Ye Lingling's Nine Star Begonia, would have a miraculous effect.

In order to achieve a quick victory, Feihuang decided to use Huo Qubing's blitzkrieg tactics.

This many people was already more than enough.

"Thank you, Husband!" Xue Ke said with sincere gratitude. "By the way, Husband, Father, you said there were two things. This first one is war preparations, then what is the second?"

"The second is this. Ke'er, take this Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Pill immediately?" Feihuang opened his palm, and a pill with flowing radiance was cradled in his palm.

"Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Pill?" Xue Ke took the pill in confusion; it was her first time hearing this name.

"Yes, the effect of this pill is..." Feihuang described the medicinal effects for Xue Ke to know.

Xue Ke was greatly shocked upon hearing it; she had not expected that such a peerless divine pill existed in the world. She finally understood how Jia Kui, Xing Daorong, and Pan Feng had managed to break through to Title Douluo in such a short time—they must have taken such a pill.

"Husband, this kind of pill is very precious. It would be best if you gave it to someone more suitable," Xue Ke was a bit embarrassed to accept it.

She knew her own worth; her actual combat ability was very weak. Even if she became a Title Douluo, she wouldn't be much stronger.

Taking this pill was undoubtedly a waste.

"You are not allowed to refuse!" Feihuang said sternly. "Ke'er, there is no one more suitable than you right now. The war with the Spirit Empire is extremely dangerous. As Empress, you will inevitably be unable to stay out of it. Only by becoming a Title Douluo will you have a certain ability to protect yourself, and I can be more at ease defending against the enemy at the front."

"Yes, Husband!" Xue Ke said, moved. She knew Feihuang was doing all this out of consideration for her, and the emotion in her heart was beyond words.

She immediately took the pill without hesitation.

The point where the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Pill was stronger than the Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Pill was that, unlike the Dragon Transformation Pill's probability of reaching Title Douluo, the success rate of this pill was one hundred percent.
