Douluo: Son of the Stars

Chapter 57 Reaction
The first person who couldn't sit still was Ning Fengzhi.

Last year, they purchased a large number of complete sets of soul guides from Tong Rui. This money not only ensured the safety of the direct disciples, but also further accelerated the development of Xingchen Sect. It can be said that the interests between the two families should be the deepest.

But after Xingchen Sect demonstrated the fixed-type soul guide cannon, some of the previous ideas had to change. The development stability of the Nine-Hearted Begonia had far exceeded Ning Fengzhi's expectations.

Not only Ye Manhua could think of the Nine-Hearted Begonia becoming a martial spirit that could rival the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, but Ning Fengzhi could also think of it. However, only two people had outstanding abilities in the Nine-Hearted Begonia before, and it would take more than a few hundred years to steadily cultivate the evolution of the Begonia martial spirit. When the Nine-Hearted Begonia could threaten the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, it would not be too late to destroy it.

But now that soul guides have developed to the point where they can threaten soul kings, conversely, soul guides can already guarantee the safety of auxiliary soul kings. That means the stability of the Begonia Flower Martial Soul advancing to a high-level Martial Soul has been guaranteed to the greatest extent.

Because with the establishment of the Xingchen Sect, if one wants to cut off Begonia's further possibilities, they can only kill the owner of Begonia's martial soul through assassination or other means outside the sect, thus fundamentally cutting off the possibility of Begonia's advancement and inheritance.

But now the difficulty of assassination has doubled. If the Xingchen Sect is given more time, it will probably take a lot of energy to hunt down the people of the Jiuxin Haitang family without leaving any trace.

This would not only be detrimental to the development of the sect, but it would also cause losses to both sides, leading to foreign enemies taking advantage of the situation. Would the sect let the Titled Douluo run all over the continent just to hunt down the Nine-Hearted Begonia people? That was simply unrealistic.

Ning Fengzhi said with a serious expression: "Uncle Jian, I'm afraid we can't care about the situation on the mainland. We must find an excuse to attack Xingchen Sect while the situation on the mainland is still stable."

Jian Douluo frowned and asked, "Our sect disciples still need to trade with the Xingchen Sect, and the Xingchen Academy also needs to arrange a large number of people to learn soul guides. Isn't it unwise to make enemies at this time?"

Ning Fengzhi thought for a moment and said, "Then we need to give Xingchen Sect a reason to swallow the bitter fruit. We just need to cause great damage to the Nine Heart Begonia Family."

Jian Douluo asked, "Then let me or Old Bone find an opportunity to assassinate Ye Manhua and the people of the Nine Heart Begonia family one by one. With Old Bone and I working together, we can even cause great damage to the Xingchen Sect. As long as we can solve this matter in a short time, the safety of the sect can be guaranteed."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head and said, "This matter still needs to be considered in the long run. Let's discuss it after we return to the sect."

Watching Tong Rui and Ye Manhua chatting happily on the stage, Ning Fengzhi remained gentle and polite as he talked with other guests.

On the other side, the two Douluo from the Spirit Hall were also talking closely.

"Old ghost, it seems that the hidden soul guide of the Star Sect is probably even more terrifying. The defense system of the Star Sect is like an iron turtle. Can they really pass on the basic knowledge of soul guides?" Yue Guan said playfully.

Ghost Douluo analyzed without changing his expression: "It can't be helped. If they don't spread the production method, other sects will not allow such a force to flourish. They made a good move."

Yue Guan has long understood Gui Mei's intentions, and continued, "Putting the production methods of soul guides in the academy under its control can not only prevent various forces from attacking it, but also make friends with the next generation of major forces on the continent. After all, no one knows whether Xingchen Academy will teach more things in the future to maintain its prestige." "And now these soul guides displayed by Xingchen Sect will obviously become the research direction of major forces in the future. Once they are sold, the price will probably skyrocket, and those who have already learned soul guides will study them crazily. After all, no one wants their own forces to lag behind others."

Gui Mei nodded: "The soul guides on display are just right. They not only reveal the authority of Xingchen Sect in soul guide research, but also tell all major forces that soul guides cannot threaten the power of high-end soul masters, and the sect's security is also guaranteed by sufficient strength. After today, the gate of Xingchen Sect will probably be trampled down."

On the other side, Xue Qinghe also discussed this with the three education committee members, and continued to analyze: "Can the three education committee members see how effective this soul guide is?"

Meng Shenji said frankly: "These soul guides are rare weapons whether they are used to defend or attack the city. Tong Rui is indeed a unique genius. I just don't know if he will still represent our Tiandou Royal Academy to participate in the Soul Master Competition in five years."

Xue Qinghe replied: "I have discussed with Xiao Rui that their Xingchen Academy will not participate in the competition this year, so their team will still represent the Tiandou Empire in the competition in a few years. However, I don't know if they will sell this soul guide to the outside world."

Zhilin, the teacher of the Azure Ivy Spirit, said: "This kind of soul guide is indeed a powerful weapon for low-level soul masters. If it can be purchased, it will greatly change the situation on the empire's battlefield. However, people from the Xingluo Empire are also among those invited. I'm afraid they will not easily let go of the opportunity to buy a soul guide."

Indeed, on the other side of the venue, at the Xingluo Empire venue corresponding to the Tiandou Empire, Davis, Zhu Zhuyun and the two Soul Douluos were also having intense discussions.

A Soul Douluo priest said excitedly: "We, the Xingluo Empire, must obtain this kind of killer weapon. Otherwise, facing the Tiandou Empire, which has the innate advantage of purchasing soul guides, we may not get any benefits, and may even be defeated."

Davis has also been a prince for a long time. Although he doesn't take Dai Mubai seriously, he is naturally more sensitive to state affairs: "This soul guide will indeed play a huge role on the battlefield. Even if we can't get it, we must try our best to prevent the Tiandou Empire from getting it."

Another priest said, "We'd better try our best to get the Xingchen Sect to enter our country. After all, the intelligence we have found shows that the current sect master is on good terms with the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire. If we want to achieve the most basic fairness with Tiandou in terms of soul guides, I'm afraid we can only lure them with benefits."

Davis nodded and said, "Indeed, I will ask my father when I go back to help the Xingchen Sect develop vigorously in the Xingluo Empire. Only by letting them see the benefits of the sect can we sell soul guides in large quantities in our country. I also ask the two priests to say a few good words for me in front of my father. After all, you two are the most persuasive people."

The Xingluo royal family had started to take sides very early on, and the priests who came to protect Davis and the other two were all neutral forces chosen by Xingluo, so that they could remain rational when reporting to the emperor.

But once Davis said this, even if the two reported accurately to the emperor, in the eyes of others, following Davis' words would be seen as a sign of taking sides. But the two could not make false reports or point out specifically in order to maintain their positions, otherwise they would offend Davis and stand with other forces. The same is true.

The two looked at each other, and the priest who had spoken earlier could only helplessly say, "We two will report to His Majesty everything we have seen today truthfully, but from my observation, the production of this soul guide will probably require a large number of blacksmiths. I probably invited the president of the Blacksmith Association to invite them to cooperate."

In a seat not far away, Lou Gao was observing the soul guides obtained from this transaction with excitement.
