Chapter 145: Territorial Independence! Proclaimed to the World!
Emperor Xue Ye naturally understood the other layer of meaning in Dugu Bo's words and said slowly, "The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect only has two Title Douluo, and they must guard their sect, so it is impossible to arrange for them to come. I have heard that Phoenix Academy has many Title Douluo, so I earnestly request you to arrange one to protect me in secret. Rest assured, the proper compensation will not be lacking."
Just as Dugu Bo was hesitating, a voice transmission from Ma Hongjun reached his mind.
"Agree to him, and have the other party exchange the entire Phoenix Mountain territory for it, and announce to the world that the sovereignty of Phoenix Mountain belongs to Phoenix Academy, and that it is independent."
Dugu Bo had not thought of this point at first.
Now that he heard his own Principal's words, he also felt that this was very promising.
"Fine, this old man agrees. After I go back later, I will arrange for a Title Douluo to protect you in secret. As for compensation or whatever, it is not needed, but we want the independent territorial rights of Phoenix Mountain, and you need to announce this matter to the public and acknowledge it. If you agree to this." Dugu Bo spoke slowly.
Upon hearing this condition, both the Chief Eunuch and Emperor Xue Ye were startled.
This was undoubtedly asking the Heaven Dou Empire to cede land to Phoenix Academy.
The Chief Eunuch looked at Emperor Xue Ye cautiously.
He was very clever; he knew very well when it was his turn to speak and when it was not.
Now, as a servant, he naturally had no right to interrupt.
Daring to make a Title Douluo unhappy might turn into a crisis right now.
However, Emperor Xue Ye's expression was calm, because having experienced a brush with death, he had seen through many things.
Although he guarded a vast empire, if he did not have the life to enjoy and protect it, it was just empty talk and not worth mentioning.
He nodded: "I agree. The independent territorial rights of the Phoenix Mountain area are yours, and I will draft an imperial edict now to proclaim it to the world!"
Doing this could actually be considered going with the flow.
Because ever since Phoenix Mountain was occupied by Phoenix Academy, it was impossible to take it back; after all, the current strength of Phoenix Academy was so terrifying.
So even if he did not announce it, in the eyes of outsiders, Phoenix Mountain actually belonged to Phoenix Academy.
Now, the other party's move just happened to make this favor easier.
"Good, Your Majesty, rest assured. I will go back now and arrange for a powerful Title Douluo to come. As for what needs to be done then, you can discuss it with them."
Dugu Bo said.
"Very well, thank you."
"I will see you out."
Emperor Xue Ye lowered his status and said.
"No need, Your Majesty should rest well."
After Dugu Bo finished speaking, he turned into a Rainbow Light and instantly disappeared within the palace.
"What a terrifying speed!"
Emperor Xue Ye gasped.
The Chief Eunuch, who had experienced it personally, naturally also understood the terror of this Rainbow Transformation Technique.
That speed was simply unparalleled and flawless! "Bring the imperial edict immediately, I will draft it now!"
"At the same time, convene a court meeting!"
Emperor Xue Ye looked at the Chief Eunuch and said.
"As you command!" The Chief Eunuch nodded.
Emperor Xue Ye then disappeared from where he stood.
Soon, in the Heaven Dou imperial court, because of the Tiandou Digong Coup, many people were missing, and everyone was trembling with fear.
Seeing that Emperor Xue Ye was safe and sound, everyone was very happy.
Those who survived now were no longer people from the Spirit Hall.
As for whether they would be bought off in the future, that was a matter for later.
"Long live the Emperor, long live, long live!"
Everyone knelt down.
"My subjects, rise!"
"Many things have happened within the Tiandou Digong, but these are all in the past. I used this poisoning as a pretext to eradicate many Spirit Hall spies within the palace."
"Now, I want to announce one thing!"
"Someone, read the imperial edict! Proclaim it to the world!"
Emperor Xue Ye waved his hand, letting everyone rise, and then waved his hand again to say.
The Chief Eunuch hurried in from the side door, respectfully holding the imperial edict in his hands, and opened it to read: "Hear my decree!"
Seeing this imperial edict, those who had stood up knelt down again to listen.
The Chief Eunuch continued: "From this day forward, the sovereignty of Phoenix Mountain and all power outside of it belong to Phoenix Academy. The Heaven Dou Empire acknowledges the official independence of Phoenix Academy and Phoenix Mountain!" "What!?"
"Phoenix Mountain is being ceded?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials were shocked.
"Do my subjects have any objections?" Emperor Xue Ye's eyes were cold and stern.
"We have no objections!"
"We obey the decree!"
Everyone was not a fool; they quickly understood that this must be a reward for Phoenix Academy helping the Heaven Dou Empire eradicate the Spirit Hall spies, and they were also afraid of death, so they all expressed that they had no opinion.
Moreover, Phoenix Academy was so powerful that they dared not offend them easily.
"Very good, since there are no objections, then proclaim the legal independence of Phoenix Mountain and Phoenix Academy to the world."
After Emperor Xue Ye finished speaking, he said: "Dismissed!"
After the words fell, he left quickly.
Everyone also left quickly.
Soon, this news began to spread wildly from the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace to the entire Heaven Dou City.
After receiving this news, all parties expressed great shock.
"It seems something major is happening."
"Phoenix Academy is currently in its prime, and with so many Title Douluo guarding it, it might not be difficult to make Emperor Xue Ye directly recognize their right to territorial independence."
The members of Shrek Academy were also very surprised after receiving the news.
"Phoenix Academy!"
When Tang San learned the news, he clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger.
"There is no time to lose, let us set off for Sea God Island immediately; I cannot wait to become stronger!" Tang San said to everyone.
"Alright, then let's set off!"
"The supplies are already prepared, our first destination is Hanhai Cheng."
Yu Xiaogang and the others nodded and handed the prepared items to Tang San.
"We will stay at Shrek Academy and will not go with you; be extremely careful on this journey!"
Yu Xiaogang said.
He also understood that his current strength was too weak; he could not help at all and would even become a burden.
It was just that everyone saw through it without saying it, and he himself had self-awareness.
"Alright Teacher, you all just wait for our good news within the academy!"
"When we return, it will be the day to settle accounts with Phoenix Academy!"
Tang San took the supplies and said with cold eyes.
Subsequently, the group officially embarked on their journey to Sea God Island.
This was also a brand-new challenge for them!
"I hope everything goes smoothly." Yu Xiaogang, Flender, Liu Erlong, and others said one after another.
Then they turned and returned to the academy.
After Dugu Bo returned, he told the various elders about the task of secretly protecting Emperor Xue Ye, as well as the news of the independence of Phoenix Academy and Phoenix Mountain.
Everyone was very happy after hearing this.
They had finally obtained territorial independence!
Moreover, it was personally announced to the world by Emperor Xue Ye, which also thoroughly verified the legal authority! It was legitimate! "So everyone, who among you is willing to go?"
"We must send someone from our side."
Dugu Bo looked at the crowd and spoke.
"I will go; I have been at Phoenix Academy for so long, so it can be considered making a small contribution to the academy!"
Feng Wuhen volunteered.
"Since you spoke first, I will not compete with you." Huo Zhenshuang, who was at the side, lowered the hand he had half-raised and said.
"Good, then Elder Feng, you shall go." Dugu Bo nodded.
