People in Douluo, the mastermind behind the scenes

Huo Yuhao activated his skill - tough guy acting like a spoiled brat.

Lin Huiqun was almost nauseated.

It’s okay for a 20-year-old kid to act like a spoiled child with a 100-year-old grandmother, but... your mental age, Huo Yuhao, is over 20,000 years old. You can be Lin Huiqun’s ancestor, and yet you’re still acting like a spoiled child here... Isn’t that disgusting?
But Lin Huiqun still couldn't leave Huo Yuhao aside. This bastard used to be a bootlicker. Although he doesn't have much IQ, he is very good at pestering you. He hangs around you every day, and it's annoying unless he bites you.

“Well… it’s not impossible to rename the Sea God Pavilion to the Spirit Ice Pavilion, but I have to make three rules with you, Huo Yuhao.”

Lin Huiqun said solemnly: "First, the name of the faction is Lingbing Pavilion, but you, Lingbing Douluo Huo Yuhao, do not have real power, you are just the mascot of Lingbing Pavilion."

"Secondly, stop researching your shabby soul guide. Let the Tang Sect disciples work harder on the ink weapons and various props left over from Zhu Ningyun's time. The upper limit of soul guides is too low. They can never be developed to the point where they can teleport the entire Sea God Island."

"Third, and most importantly, you are just a thug from Lingbing Pavilion. If you have any opinions, you can tell me. Don't bypass me and contact the people below."

"These requirements are my bottom line. If you don't agree, there's nothing I can do."

After saying that, Lin Huiqun curled his lips, turned his head to the side, and stopped looking at Huo Yuhao.

"Mr. Lin, you don't trust me."

Huo Yuhao sighed and said bitterly, “Okay, Elder Lin, I promise you that in the future in Lingbing Pavilion, I will never say a word or do anything more to the people below me without your authorization. Give me some time, and I will prove to you with facts and actions that I am no longer the same Huo Yuhao as before.”

When Huo Yuhao was about to turn around and leave, Lin Huiqun suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist.

"Go have a meeting with Zhu Ningyu and the others first. Remember, when you get to the meeting room, listen more, watch more, and talk less. If there's anything you don't understand, write it down and come back to ask me after the meeting."

"Let's go."

Lin Huiqun let go of Huo Yuhao's wrist, then stood up and walked out of the office door.

The scene changed, and Lin Huiqun walked down the stairs and into a large conference room on the first floor of the office building. Led by Zhu Ningyu, representatives from various major forces were standing in front of a topographic map of Douluo Continent, discussing the current situation.

Xu Guihuang said in a deep voice: "Since the Sun and Moon Continents were connected, the three empires of Tianhun, Douling, and Xingluo have started to work together and will not set up too many defenses against each other. This has led to a problem. From the south of Shrek City to the line of Xingluo City, there is almost no defense."

"Even if there are strategic locations to defend, we cannot seize most of the territory of the Xingluo Empire before the Haoyue Plane army can react."

"On the contrary, we need to leave enough space for the Haoyue Plane to disperse their forces and retain the possibility of defeating them one by one. We don't have the ability to counterattack the Haoyue Plane, so we just need to find a way to drive away these foreign enemies and make them lose hope of conquering the Douluo Plane."

At this moment, Chen Yu suddenly raised her hand. "Senior Zihuang, what if they use ultra-long-distance teleportation? To teleport a large number of soul masters... oh no, cultivators to our rear, what should we do?" Xu Guihuang pondered, "That kind of long-distance large-scale teleportation method, um... From what I can see, it will definitely cost a lot to use it once. Even if they can use that method unconditionally and without restrictions, is there any need for us to resist?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone nodded as if they had suddenly understood something. It was a very simple truth. If a Titled Douluo wanted to snatch a treasure from a Soul Sect, he didn't need to spend so much effort and start such a large-scale battle.

The Haoyue Plane might be very powerful, but its strength was not much greater than that of the Douluo Plane.

"Everyone stop for a moment."

Lin Huiqun waved his hands hastily, came to the conference table, and said solemnly: "I am ready to rename the Poseidon Pavilion to the Lingbing Pavilion. The Poseidon Pavilion has officially become history. What about the members of the Supervisory Group and the New Army who are still coordinating defense in the two empires of Douling and Xingluo? I want to ask everyone what they think."

Zhu Ningyu said expressionlessly: "No matter what pavilion you belong to, anyone who does something wrong must pay the price. The Sea God Pavilion has ruled the three empires of the original Douluo Continent for so many years. Some of the elders have accumulated wealth that rivals that of a country by exploiting the people of the three empires. They have done many things that are against the will of heaven and earth."

"Humph, if they are allowed to continue living, they will just donate some wealth and provide funding to the army under the banner of fighting foreign enemies. When the war between the planes ends, if the Douluo plane wins the final victory, they will suddenly become heroes defending the Douluo Continent. With this identity, even if they speak well of the Sea God Pavilion and put the blame on the Ningyun Sect, how many soul masters who don't know the truth will believe it?"

"The former Poseidon Pavilion's new army and the Shrek Supervisory Group can be used, but they must conduct an internal investigation before the official war to wipe out those evildoers..."

"Impossible!" Mo Lian said righteously, "An internal investigation will only make the new army and the members of the Supervisory Group feel insecure. It will be bad if a large number of soul masters defect to the Haoyue Plane."

"That group of selfish, greedy fools will still be a disaster even if they switch sides and join the Haoyue Plane."

Zhu Ningyu slammed the table fiercely and said in a cold tone: "Are you considering the overall situation? Humph, don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You are just reserving the possibility of restoring the Sea God Pavilion. Everyone is cursing the Sea God, but everyone wants to become the Sea God. Don't treat me, Zhu Ningyu, as a three-year-old child who knows nothing!"

"If another Sea God Tang San appears in Douluo World, it would be better to destroy it directly. This is my philosophy, Zhu Ningyu. We have different ideas, so let's forget about the alliance. I look down on you, the filial sons of the Sea God Pavilion, equally!"

"Xu Guihuang, let's go!"

After saying that, Zhu Ningyu waved her hand and walked out of the conference room door with Xu Guihuang.

For a moment, Chen Yu didn't know whether to leave or not. He kept wandering in front of the door of the conference room with his hands behind his back.

This...how come it's different from what she imagined?

She originally thought that… the people from the Sea God Pavilion would be unhappy because of the alliance, but she really didn’t expect that the person who was unhappy would be Zhu Ningyu. (End of this chapter)
