Douluo Dalu: Tiger Roars in the Universe

Chapter 88 Return to the Palace
Seeing Zhu Family Soul Emperor leave, Tai Nuo and Niu Ben couldn't help but look at each other, and said to Dai Yaochen: "Your Highness, let's take our people back to the sect."

"Wait." Dai Yaochen stopped them immediately. "It's fine if the Zhu family doesn't count their contributions, but the two hundred people from the Four Extreme Sect have been with me for so many days, and they also encountered evil spirit masters. I can't let you go for nothing."

"It's good that Your Highness has this intention..."

Niu Ben felt relieved by Dai Yaochen's words, but he subconsciously refused. However, Dai Yaochen interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Don't refuse too much." Dai Yaochen said with a smile, "I can definitely get you two titles for this matter."

"After developing in the Xingluo Empire for nearly a year, you should have discovered that we are different from the Tiandou Empire. The power of the country is more centralized, so it is very good to have a formal official identity."

"If you two have imperial titles, it will be very beneficial to the future development of the Four Extremes Sect. At least you will no longer be excluded by any local forces in the future."

Dai Yaochen has been promoting the integration of the Siji Sect into the Xingluo Empire. He had previously arranged for the Siji Sect's disciples to study at the Xingluo Royal Academy, which has almost completed the integration of the lower levels. If he were to grant the titles of the Xingluo Empire to the sons of the two clan leaders, Tainuo and Niu Ben, then the integration of the middle and upper levels would basically be completed.

By then, the Siji Sect will truly be considered Dai Yaochen's own people.

When Taino heard that Dai Yaochen wanted to help him get a title, he suddenly hesitated. He couldn't stand all the rules and regulations, so he was ready to refuse immediately. However, Niu Ben on the side poked him a few times with his elbow and winked at him, signaling him not to talk nonsense.

Unlike Taino who is carefree and doesn't care about details, Niu Ben is tall and strong and looks like a rough man, but he is a man who knows what he is doing.

When Niu Ben heard that he could get a title, he reacted immediately. He knew what this meant to the Siji Sect, so he immediately gave up the idea of ​​​​refusing and asked Tainuo not to refuse.

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has said this, it would be hypocritical for us to refuse." Niu Ben smiled and bowed to Dai Yaochen, "But I'm afraid this will trouble His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"It's no problem." Dai Yaochen shook his head. "With your contributions in this battle, it's no problem to confer two titles. This is what you deserve."

In fact, as long as a powerful soul master is willing to join the country, the country will confer a title on him, not to mention those like Taino and Niu Ben who have military merits.

Soon, Tainuo and Niu Ben asked their disciples to return to the sect to explain the situation first, and then the two of them followed Dai Yaochen into the palace to meet the Emperor Dai Tianyu of the Xingluo Empire.

Dai Tianyu was handling government affairs at this time. He had already received the news that the prince had returned, so when Dai Yaochen came to him with Tainuo and Niu Ben, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he asked directly: "Tell me, what is the situation? What's the matter with that evil soul master?"

"The general situation has been explained in the battle report." Dai Yaochen had already prepared a plan in his mind. When faced with Dai Tianyu's question, he immediately explained, "All this is the conspiracy of that evil soul master."

"That evil soul master has the ability to control souls and corpses, so he deliberately sent his captive wolf bandits to invade the three cities in southern Xinjiang. His purpose should be to attract our army to encircle and suppress them, in order to kill all of our army and obtain more souls and corpses."

"This time it was indeed extremely dangerous. With the intelligence seriously inconsistent, our army's strength was still very insufficient. If it weren't for Senior Tainuo and Niu Ben from the Four Extreme Sect leading the sect disciples to fight to the death to help, and if it weren't for the Netherworld White Tiger that Zhu Qing and I unleashed at the end to destroy the evil soul master's martial soul body and kill him in the backlash, our army would have been very likely to be wiped out by the evil soul master."

"Once our army is completely wiped out, that evil soul master will be able to obtain nearly 100,000 souls and corpses. The entire southern border of the empire will probably fall in an instant. The situation at that time will be simply unimaginable."

Listening to Dai Yaochen's story and combining it with the battle reports sent from the army, Dai Tianyu could already imagine how critical the situation was at the time.

"Despite such a drastic change, the Crown Prince was able to save the army in the end and killed the evil soul master who was behind the scenes. He did a great job." Dai Tianyu nodded, then turned to look at Tainuo and Niu Ben on the side, "And the Siji Sect, since the Siji Sect has made a great contribution this time, I will not treat you unfairly."

"Our sects are all in the Xingluo Empire, and it is our duty to contribute to the country." Tainuo and Niu Ben spoke immediately.

"You can't say that. Even if it's our duty, the Siji Sect has really helped the empire a lot." Dai Tianyu smiled, "How about this, I want to confer the title of earl on you two for your merits. What do you think?"

Without Dai Yaochen even bringing it up, Dai Tianyu took the initiative to talk about the granting of the title.

As the emperor of the Xingluo Empire, Dai Tianyu had actually noticed the Siji Sect in Xingluo City a long time ago. The Siji Sect had four great Soul Douluos in charge, which was a considerable force. He also wanted to pull the Siji Sect onto the chariot of the Xingluo Empire, but there had been no good entry point before, and he could only influence it subtly through continuous support.

Now that Tainuo and Niu Ben have made contributions to the Xingluo Empire, Dai Tianyu can take this opportunity to grant them titles, thereby deepening his relationship with the Siji Sect.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Dai Yaochen had already discussed the granting of the title with Tainuo and Niu Ben at the gate of the imperial palace, so as soon as Dai Tianyu mentioned it, they agreed immediately and expressed their gratitude to Dai Tianyu.

Since both sides had no problem with it, the issue of granting the title was settled, and the connection between the Xing Luo Empire and the Siji Sect was deepened a lot.

The lower-level disciples enrolled in the Xingluo Royal Academy, and the upper-level personnel also accepted the titles of the Xingluo Empire. It can be said that the Siji Sect has completely become their own people, which made Dai Yaochen have more ideas about the Siji Sect.

Since they are his own people, the real resources can be tilted towards the Siji Sect. Dai Yaochen is really ready to support the Siji Sect, so that he will have a team of soul masters under his command in the future.

This campaign to encircle and suppress the Wolf Bandits made Dai Yaochen deeply aware of the gap between the soul master troops and ordinary armies, especially the extreme soul master troops like the Four Extreme Sect. Even if they are small in number, they play an extremely important role on the battlefield.
