Chapter 213 Asking for the Queen
For a moment, everyone present, except Huan Ling and Gu Long, looked gloomy. This was no longer a private assassination, but Huan Ling was attacking them at close range, directly provoking the entire Xing Luo Empire.
Dai Tianling gritted his teeth and said, "If you haven't thought about it, you can speak again."
What this means is that the phantom speaks without thinking.
"Your Majesty is too self-reliant." Huan Ling chuckled and said, "The Xingluo Empire is facing internal and external troubles. The Green Skull Organization is an evil soul master force, and I'm afraid the Holy Spirit Church is also involved behind the scenes. For example, Ghost King Douluo and Pluto Douluo are both stronger than His Majesty the Holy Dragon Douluo."
"Besides, I am the young master of the Body Sect, and my teacher is the deputy master of the Spirit Pagoda. I just met Zhang Geyang, the general manager of the Spirit Pagoda in Xingluo Continent, a few days ago. I can also call Hu Jie, the general manager of the Tang Sect, my senior brother. With the great elder here, why should I be afraid of Xingluo?"
Smiling Douluo Hu Jie is nominally Muye’s uncle, but he is also Muye’s nephew…mainly because of the seniority in the Body Sect.
There are many stories behind why Hu Jie left the Benti Sect and joined the Tang Sect. To put it simply, it was a failed secret love that led to his eventual departure in pain.
At the beginning, Hu Jie had been secretly in love with Mu Ye's mother for many years. He was also the most outstanding person in the Body Sect at that time. However, because of his own martial arts soul, his appearance was not easy to be liked by women, and in the end he failed to win the beauty.
Muye's mother, the leader of the previous generation of the Benti Sect, married Hu Jie's junior brother, a disciple of the Benti Sect who was far less talented than him.
Hu Jie was so heartbroken that he left the Benti Sect in anger and joined the Tang Sect.
Because of this matter, the Body Sect and the Tang Sect had a big fight. In front of Muye's mother, Hu Jie told her that he had been secretly in love with her for many years, and said that he would never see anyone from the Body Sect again, nor would he become an enemy of the Body Sect.
Afterwards, he volunteered to come to the Xing Luo Empire. With his extraordinary talent, strength and means, he eventually became the head of the Tang Sect branch in the Xing Luo Continent.
Hu Jie's status in the Tang Sect is even higher than that of the Fighting Spirit Hall Master Guo Xiaoxu. It can be said that he is second only to the two Ultimate Douluo.
This Smiling Douluo is even the deputy head of the Xingluo Empire's Worship Hall. In terms of identity and status, he is second only to Enci, the dean of the Monster Academy.
Hu Jie and Muye's mother are of the same generation, which is not surprising, after all, they entered the sect at the same time. But later, Muye's mother's teacher was the sect master of the previous generation, so Muye's mother's generation is the same as the great elder's teacher.
At the same time, Makino became a disciple of Gu Long, the current great elder of the Body Sect. At that time, Gu Long was not yet the great elder.
She is equivalent to Muye's mother, and in terms of seniority, she becomes Hu Jie's great uncle.
This is also a common problem among big forces. Such problems often occur, but no one cares.
When Huan Ling brought up this matter at this time, the meaning was very clear. Even on the Xing Luo Continent, the Xing Luo Empire could not defeat Huan Ling.
"I think you all know the principle of accepting defeat after a bet is made. Since you want to change the bet, it is a negotiation. If you can agree, then that's fine. If you can't agree, then you might as well stick to the previous bet."
"My Xingluo Empire agrees."
After Enci nodded to Dai Tianling, Dai Tianling also made a decision. He must trust Enci and only Enci.
Long Yue's talent is the strongest in the Xing Luo Continent. If one does not believe in Long Yue, then the Xing Luo Empire is doomed to be destroyed in the future. As the king of a fallen country, could his fate be any better than giving away his wife and daughter as servants?
Personal strength is always more important than the army. This is a truth that people deeply remember after Huo Yuhao single-handedly destroyed the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Corps ten thousand years ago. There were three hundred eighth-level soul masters ten thousand years ago, and the strongest soul master of the time, Kong Deming, was there, but Huo Yuhao easily destroyed them, using the absolute zero ice mirror to refract the sun and moon divine light.
Long Yue's potential far exceeds that of Enci. He originally awakened the Mountain Dragon Martial Soul, but after entering the Tang Sect's Dragon Valley Secret Realm, he was recognized by the dragon soul of a Mountain Dragon King and fused with a piece of the Mountain Dragon King's torso bone.
Although he is called the Mountain Dragon King, he is not the true first-level divine dragon king, nor the mountain dragon king who once incarnated into the continent. Rather, he is the direct descendant of the Mountain Dragon King. Just like the Beast God Di Tian, he possesses the soul bones of a ferocious beast with the bloodline of the Dragon King.
But just like the true gods ten thousand years later also coveted the soul bones of the Beast God Di Tian, a piece of the trunk bone of the Mountain Dragon King was enough for Long Yue to become a quasi-god and the strongest person in the Xingluo Continent.
The Xing Luo Empire has already decided to devote all its national strength to training Long Yue, and Dai Tianling doesn't mind agreeing to this humiliating bet.
If you win, you can continue to survive. If you lose, you will just accept the price of national destruction in advance.
Dai Tianling and Enci were betting on the future, but Dai Yun'er and Zhu Kexin were stunned. They couldn't believe that Dai Tianling, who they always thought was wise and brave, would do such a thing.
He used his wife and daughter as bets. If it were other concubines in the harem, there would be a distinction between wives and concubines, but he put the queen on the gambling table.
Isn’t this a sign of a country’s demise?
"Now that the bet has been made, we'll take our leave." Huan Ling was also surprised by Dai Tianling's decisiveness, and then left with Gu Long.
Gu Long looked at Huan Ling and asked doubtfully, "Are you really going to offend the Xing Luo Empire to death?"
Asking for the queen, this is a hatred that will never end until one dies. Huan Ling doesn't seem like the kind of person who can be so short-sighted.
Huan Ling asked back, "Then Master, do you think the Queen would be resentful towards Emperor Xingluo?"
Huan Ling called Gu Long "Uncle Master", so the conversation would then be from the perspective of the Body Sect, rather than the development plan of the Body Sect.
"Of course she has resentment, but her status does not allow her to leave."
To put it bluntly, the queen's status is noble, but she is only qualified to be a chess piece, and both of them are very clear about this.
"So, there are no strong people in the Xingluo Empire. As long as we kill Enci and Dai Tianling and support Dai Yueyan to take the throne, we can control the entire Xingluo Empire."
Huan Ling's mouth curled up slightly, "Su Qingmo has been subdued by me. If I can kill Enci, and then help Su Qingmo fuse a 100,000-year-old spirit bone with spiritual attributes, and help her break through the spiritual realm, she will be the next generation of Xingluo State Master."
Letting Su Qingmo control the others would undoubtedly expose his true colors. Instead, for the sake of the relationship with the Eight Heavenly Kings, it would be better to let Su Qingmo directly support Dai Yueyan's promotion as a friend's mother. This way, she could gain a firm foothold in the Xingluo Continent.
"But the most crucial thing is to look at my senior brother. Both of my teacher's parents have passed away, and I'm afraid he doesn't have much resentment left. The secret method of the Body Sect helped him break through the Limit Douluo, and my senior brother should change his mind."
