"Xue Qinghe" returned to Heaven Dou City and reported the results of the discussions in the Papal Hall to Emperor Xue Ye.
Xue Ye frowned, he looked at "Xue Qinghe" and asked, "Qinghe, what do you think? Should we respond to the Spirit Hall's call and send people to discuss the establishment of an alliance against soul beasts?"
"Xue Qinghe" smiled slightly and replied, "In my opinion, we should not."
"Hmm?" This answer was somewhat unexpected to Xue Ye.
He knew that this son of his had always been quite fond of the Spirit Hall and had always taken the overall situation into consideration, but he did not expect that he would actually oppose the reasonable proposal put forward by the Spirit Hall at this moment.
"Xue Qinghe" explained: "The Spirit Hall already has a significant influence among Soul Masters. This matter, in summary, is that a Soul Master killed an important soul beast, and the soul beast came to seek revenge.
If the Spirit Hall takes the lead in promoting the alliance, it would mean that the Spirit Hall is upholding the right of Soul Masters to hunt soul beasts.
This will further increase the prestige of the Spirit Hall among Soul Masters, which is not conducive to the empire's rule. Therefore, I suggest that Duke Amon be the host.
Let him, in his personal capacity, seek assistance from the Spirit Hall, the Star Luo Empire, and our three parties. In this way, the status of our three parties in this matter will be equal, and the Spirit Hall will not be able to gain fame."
Xue Ye was satisfied with "Xue Qinghe's" rational judgment. He pondered for a moment and said, "A very reasonable approach, but will Duke Amon be willing to cooperate with us?"
"Xue Qinghe" smiled confidently. Since she had such a proposal, she naturally had a draft in mind:
"If he is smart, he will not reject our proposal at this time. Because Di Tian's target is always him, and the biggest beneficiary after the alliance is established is also him. By having him as the initiator, he himself can occupy more say. Moreover, he is, after all, a Duke of Heaven Dou."
"What about the Spirit Hall's attitude?"
"Xue Qinghe" replied: "In fact, it was the Pope of the Spirit Hall who attacked a ferocious beast first, and Di Tian went to rescue it, which gave Duke Amon an opportunity. Therefore, they are also targets of Di Tian's hatred, and after solving Amon, it will be their turn. Therefore, the Spirit Hall also has an urgent need."
"What about the Star Luo Empire?"
Although the Spirit Hall has gradually become the greatest threat to the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Ye is still deeply concerned about the Star Luo Empire, which has repeatedly attempted to annex Heaven Dou.
"They may agree, or they may disagree. But their attitude towards the Spirit Hall should be the same as ours. If they do not agree to form an alliance, they will definitely be targeted by the Spirit Hall afterward."
"Then do as you say." Xue Ye nodded, approving the suggestion made by "Xue Qinghe".
After obtaining Emperor Xue Ye's approval, in order to promote the alliance before the Spirit Hall officially issued its call, "Xue Qinghe" rushed to Tudor Territory as soon as possible.
When Amon received her in the Duke's mansion and learned of her intentions, his expression became strange.
You really have completely immersed yourself in the identity of the "Heaven Dou Crown Prince"... However, this is exactly what I want.
A smile appeared on his face:
"As a Duke enfeoffed by the empire, I naturally stand on the empire's position, and this matter originated from me, which is most beneficial to me. I have no reason to refuse."
Hearing Amon's reply, "Xue Qinghe" nodded with a smile and said in a soft voice:
"Then I will await good news."
Amon immediately sent invitations to the Spirit Hall and various large and small sects within Heaven Dou.
After all, his rise time was still very short, and he did not have such a large appeal. Apart from the Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Royal Family, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, these forces that had a deep intersection with him and knew his strength well, other sects might not give him face.
Therefore, the Heaven Dou Royal Family also sent letters to forces other than the Spirit Hall.
Half a month later, the Sect Assembly was held in Night Capital. This meeting was more like being convened by the Heaven Dou Royal Family than by Amon.
The Star Luo Empire did not send anyone, nor did the Clear Sky Sect. This was not too surprising, the former had little to do with the soul beast siege event, and the latter closed its doors and lived in seclusion.
After Yu Yuanzhen's death, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan split into two branches, one remained in Tudor Territory, accepting Amon's rule, and the other, mainly composed of Yu Yuanzhen's direct descendants, went far away.
The branch that remained in Tudor Territory elected a new patriarch, Yu Yuanzhen's cousin, Yu Yuanqiu. Of course, he did not dare to ignore Amon, and because he was nearby, he was the first to arrive.
Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, personally arrived under the protection of Sword Douluo.
The representative of the Spirit Hall was the Platinum Bishop, Walter.
The representative of the Heaven Dou Royal Family, "Xue Qinghe".
The Sect Master of the Elephant Armor Sect, Huyan Zhen.
The patriarch of the Strength Clan, Titan.
The affiliated duchies and kingdoms of the Heaven Dou Empire also sent people.
...
At the meeting, Amon announced the information that he had discussed with the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Royal Family in advance, informing them of the threat posed by the ferocious beasts.
The news of the ferocious beasts caused an uproar. Almost everyone thought that 100,000-year soul beasts were already the most powerful soul beasts, but they did not expect that there were even more terrifying existences above them.
They thought that the attack on Spirit City was just some unusually powerful 100,000-year soul beasts, but they did not expect that it was an even more special existence.
A Soul Master hunting for soul rings and being retaliated against by soul beasts was a major event that all forces had to take seriously.
After some consultation, the Soul Master Alliance was established, aiming to deal with the threat of soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
It was agreed that regardless of the situation, if a Soul Master's hunting of soul rings led to retaliation, the local area must not compromise with the soul beasts, must not expel the Soul Master, and must work together to deal with the soul beast attack.
Subsequently, "Xue Qinghe" requested that various forces send a certain number of Soul Masters to the cities near the Star Dou Great Forest to assist the local army in guarding the cities.
The representatives of these forces began to shirk their responsibilities one by one, until the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan successively expressed their positions, they reluctantly made a commitment to dispatch some manpower.
......
A border fortress of the Star Luo Empire.
The tall and thick city walls are constructed entirely of black boulders, each rock is a carefully selected stone, closely pieced together, like an indestructible barrier.
Under the city tower, there is a deep moat, the river is turbulent, providing a natural barrier for the fortress. The moat is about tens of meters wide and several meters deep.
Arrow towers and watchtowers are regularly arranged on the city tower. On the watchtowers, soldiers with neat military appearance and solemn expressions perform their duties, constantly gazing into the distance.
Under the sunlight, the stone walls of the majestic pass shimmer with a cold light, giving a solemn and solemn feeling.
This is Xingyao City, known as the gateway to the Star Luo Empire. Not far in front of it is the soil of the Heaven Dou Empire. At the same time, this is also the bridgehead for attacking the Heaven Dou Empire.
There are not many areas where the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family directly belong, and the middle is basically separated by the kingdoms and duchies under the jurisdiction of the two empires.
Xingyao City happens to be one of the few places where these directly affiliated territories intersect, and therefore it is particularly important.
Garrisoned here is the most elite army of the Star Luo Empire, the White Tiger Army.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing bright silver armor stood at the gate, staring at the distant horizon.
He is not tall, his face is relatively long, there is a birthmark on the corner of his forehead, his eyebrows are hooked upwards, his eyes are slightly small, and his nose is not high, which looks a bit funny.
He is the commander of the White Tiger Army, Wei Zhaowu.
"General Wei, what are you looking at?" A young man with long golden hair, double pupils in his eyes, and a cold meaning in his eyes walked over and asked.
Beside him, followed a hot-bodied, aloof and beautiful girl.
"Third Prince, I am waiting for someone." Wei Zhaowu stared into the distance.
"Waiting for someone? What kind of person requires you, the empire's great general, to personally wait?" Dai Mubai's face showed a puzzled look.
After separating from his companions at Shrek Academy, he and Zhu Zhuqing returned to the Star Luo Empire together.
Due to his good performance in the Soul Master Competition, he received more care from Dai Chenghua. After proposing to go to the army for training, he was assigned to the White Tiger Army.
And the status of Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun plummeted. They were seriously injured by Yan Jin in the Soul Master Competition, and the treatment alone consumed a lot of resources.
And the fact that so many people in the team were defeated by one person made his talent no longer favored. Many officials who originally supported him began to waver and subconsciously distanced themselves, starting to wait and see.
Although Shrek Academy was also defeated by one person, they at least reached the end, defeated the Spirit Hall's "Golden Generation", and obtained the qualification to participate in the championship match. Moreover, the one who defeated them was Duke Amon, who already had a great reputation in the soul master world, so even in defeat, they were still glorious.
"Here it comes." Wei Zhaowu said lightly.
Dai Mubai followed his line of sight and looked over, his eyes revealing a look of astonishment. Noticing the change in his expression, Zhu Zhuqing also looked up at the distance, and was also stunned.
Because what was rolling in was a group of soul beasts!
In the center, there were huge Earth Armored Dragon Lizards, on the left were a group of Fiery Lions, and on the right were Bone Mammoths.
In the sky, there were even two Hell Demon Dragons, as well as a group of Bipedal Flying Dragons.
A sharp alarm sounded. Although they had been notified in advance that an allied force would arrive today, this did not seem to fit the definition of "allied force", so the lookout, after hesitating for a moment, still chose to sound the alarm.
Wei Zhaowu frowned, "Pass down the order, that is an allied force, do not panic."
The alarm stopped.
The soul beast army stopped about a hundred meters in front of the city wall. Even the most elite White Tiger Army soldiers could not help but reveal a bit of fear when looking at the huge beasts.
"Ge...General Wei, this is an allied force?" Dai Mubai asked a little stutteringly.
"Yes." Wei Zhaowu nodded.
A Hell Demon Dragon fell from the sky, its huge dragon head slowly drooping.
The ordinary-looking Ten Thousand Demons King walked down from the dragon's head, he restrained his signature, carpet-like long hair.
His dark green eyes looked at Wei Zhaowu and said softly: "General Wei, Demon Eye is here to keep the appointment."
"Good, good, good..." Looking at the group of soul beasts full of power, Wei Zhaowu's eyes showed a hint of surprise, "Sect Master Yao, let me introduce you, this is the Third Prince of our Star Luo Empire, and also a strong contender for the future throne."
"Your Highness, this is Lord Yao Eye, the Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect, a powerful Titled Douluo." Wei Zhaowu introduced the two parties.
"Beast Taming Sect? Is there such a sect?" Dai Mubai's face showed a look of doubt, "Aren't soul beasts very proud? How can they be kept by humans, or even obey commands?"
The Ten Thousand Demons King showed a slightly evil smile, "Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. This is the sect's unique skill.
"Don't you know? Soul beasts can also communicate. I don't forcibly control them, but treat them as my friends, my family, so they are willing to fight for me."
Dai Mubai couldn't help but think of Xiao Wu and nodded.
PS: In the original work, Tang San took Xiao Bai and the Great White Shark Demon Soul clan to fight the Evil Demon Killer Whale clan. Although it was a divine test, it already had the meaning of "beast taming", so it is not abrupt for the Ten Thousand Demons King to package himself in this way.
High-level soul beasts will not be kept by humans, which Yu Xiaogang said to Tang San. The characters' cognition does not represent the work setting, and there may be errors.
