Douluo: I am ready to leave the Spirit Hall. The system will come.

Chapter 206: First Assassination
"Kill Monardo as soon as possible! In the process, as long as the request is reasonable, I can provide you with assistance!"

The emperor's voice echoed in the empty room.

Dai Mubai's expression was slightly shaken.

He longed to be emperor and longed to have power, but... to be honest he was not ready yet.

Just like those children who think they can be free as soon as possible by getting away from their parents, but once their parents go away for a few months and they are alone at home, they will panic when they encounter some small troubles in life and then think of relying on their parents.

Dai Mubai's situation is similar.

If the emperor told him that he would help him get rid of Monardo, he would gladly agree even if he had just expressed his intention not to deal with Monardo now. But if the emperor wanted him to do it himself, he would feel hesitant.

He hoped that the emperor would give him some power, but on the other hand he also hoped that the other party would make arrangements for him clearly so that he could ascend the throne without much effort.

The emperor looked at Dai Mubai, who showed his enlightenment without a tremor, and he was not too disappointed.

He knew that humans need to grow.

The emperor has selfish desires, but he also has public-spirited desires.

He will provide Dai Mubai with as much support as possible.

But if Dai Mubai is really not suitable, then he also agrees to let a stronger person take the position.

This has always been the tradition of the Xingluo royal family, and it is also the foundation for Xingluo to maintain its long-term rule!

At least the emperor agreed with this.

If Dai Mubai fails to thrive in the imperial selection and is eventually eliminated and killed by other candidates, then it can only be said that this is his fate.

After a moment of silence, Dai Mubai finally raised his head and said firmly, "Father, I need a group of people!"

Regardless of what he felt inside, at least he did not show any weakness on the surface.

This already made the emperor satisfied.

However, the emperor couldn't help but think of the dead Davis.

This eldest son has always made him very satisfied.

Whenever he thought about Davis' death, he became angry and irritated.

Davis died during an outing.

Nominally, the Empire had captured the assassin and executed the nobles in the place where Davis was away.

But the top leaders of the empire all knew that they had not found the real culprit.

The dead noble was just a scapegoat.

To this day, the emperor has not given up on finding the real culprit.

The name of the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce was at the top of his list of suspects.

The connection between the Casas family and the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce, as well as Zhu Zhuqing's situation, made him doubt the Casas family and the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce, which was suspected to be the financial backer behind the Casas family's resurgence.

This is also the reason why he and Dai Mubai suggested that Monardo be eliminated first as much as possible.

……

Not only Dai Mubai, other candidates also quickly gathered people.

Regardless of whether Amona will be attacked in the end, it is necessary to prepare in advance.

This way you won't miss the perfect opportunity when it comes, or be ambushed by others.

However, what was surprising was that Amona and Zhu Zhuqing stayed in a high-end hotel in the imperial city for half a month.

They haven't been out for half a month, it's hard not to wonder if they are busy making a baby.

Even the candidates other than Dai Mubai felt a little embarrassed.

Staying in a place like an inn with insufficient defenses for a long time without moving is actually a very good opportunity for assassination for the candidates.

But when it comes to the imperial election, erasing traces of the assassination is as important as the success rate of the assassination.

However, any assassination carried out in the imperial city or under the emperor's nose must be vigorously investigated, even if the emperor himself carried out the assassination in secret.

Otherwise you'd be slapping yourself in the face.

Whether it was invading the tavern or using poisoning, considering the level of the high-end hotel where Amona lived, anyone who could reach here must be of a high level.

When it comes to the royal selection, even if the innkeeper is a royal relative, he cannot escape investigation.

In order to prevent being implicated in the assassination of the crown prince candidate, it is natural to protect Amona, who is staying there, as much as possible, while at the same time distance oneself from any possible assassination.

With all these factors combined, basically, as long as there is the slightest noise, the traces cannot be covered up at all.

Therefore, if you want to carry out an assassination in the imperial city, it is best to wait for the person to travel.

For example, if someone is assassinated on the street, it is relatively easier to rule out the possibility of third-party intervention. In other words, as long as the assassin's traces are erased, or the assassin is prevented from revealing the mastermind behind the assassination, the probability of the person who planned the assassination being implicated can be reduced as much as possible.

The candidates saw that Amona was hiding in the hotel and did not just follow her and wait for her.

Some people even secretly sneered at Amona's performance.

There is no other reason. This kind of cowardly attitude is really a big minus for a future emperor.

Moreover, if he does not flex his muscles in the sequence battle, quickly win over those nobles who have come over, and develop his own power, such a huge head start may not be maintained.

Although the Sequence Conflict takes place every five years, the Emperor and the Royal Family Elders will also arrange some special tasks during this period.

If you perform outstandingly, you will also have the hope of obtaining basic resource supplies that exceed those in the sequence competition.

In order to better accomplish these tasks, it is very important to cultivate forces.

However, Amona had no intention from the beginning to stay in the Imperial City Hotel forever.

The Beast Soul Alliance does not intend to let Amona and Zhu Zhuqing's mission of usurping the country be delayed for ten years before reaching the stage of becoming the crown prince.

Therefore, it is only natural to cut down other candidates.

You Chen alone could quietly and completely assassinate the other seven candidates, and make sure that no trace of the murderer could be found in the entire Xing Luo Empire.

But as I said before, in the human world, there is one set of superficial rules, but the underlying unspoken rules are equally important.

If Amona is quickly put on the throne through pure assassination, then the rule will not be stable unless the killing continues.

Not to mention whether ruling purely through killing and intimidation is feasible, this kind of rule where most people are worried that they will be the next person to be killed and are always in a state of fear is not the kind of rule that You Chen wants, and it is even less conducive to obtaining the mental power of all living beings that he wants.

It's not like he wants to be a Shura God.

So this process cannot be too slow or too fast.

During this period, Amona needs to build good relationships with the nobles who are willing to invest, gradually show that Amona has the support of the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce, and then gradually tie the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce and Amona together. After the initial formation of a community of interests, the other candidates can be gradually harvested. This is the choice that conforms to the interests of the majority and will not cause panic and additional unrest.

Half a month later, Amona finally took Zhu Zhuqing away from the luxury hotel.

Most of the candidates have evacuated, but some still remain here to keep a close eye on them.

In addition to this, there were also people who left on their own but arranged their own men, planning to go up and finish off the enemy if there was a mistake.

In the palace, Dai Mubai, who had received the news of Amona's appearance, looked at the middle-aged man beside him who exuded the aura of a soul saint and said, "Uncle, thank you for your help."

The person staying with Dai Mubai was Ettore, who brought him back to Xingluo from the Tiandou Empire that day.

At Dai Mubai's request, in addition to Ettore, the emperor generously gave a team of soul masters from the royal guard.

This personal guard team consists of thirteen people. The leader and Ettore are both at the Soul Saint level. The weakest of the remaining soldiers is also an extremely strong Soul King who can fight against Soul Emperors.

During this period, Dai Mubai himself was not idle either.

In addition to the armed forces entrusted to him by the emperor, he also recruited a lot of people on his own, and the news of Amona's appearance was reported by these people.

In this imperial city, Dai Mubai's force is undoubtedly the strongest one.

As Dai Mubai left, the personnel of several other candidates were also affected.

It can be said that one stone stirs up a thousand waves...

However, Dai Mubai did not intend to simply take action on the street.

Both the Royal Guards and Ettore were well-known figures, and even if they were in disguise, they could easily be recognized by their moves and skills. Not to mention that although they were only temporarily following Dai Mubai's orders, it was impossible for them to act without regard for the huge risk of being accused of assassinating the crown prince candidate. Dai Mubai would also not do something that could easily implicate himself.

Even if everyone knows what happened, at least we have to keep it up. Even if it's an assassination, we have to cover it up.

Following the emperor's advice, Dai Mubai gradually strengthened his determination to eradicate Amona, but he did not intend to show it and serve as a gun for other candidates. In the end, he was the only one who made the effort.

On the surface, he was only guarded by Ettore, who followed Amona's team at a leisurely pace.

This behavior makes it difficult for others to judge what his intentions are.

Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer and took action.

The person who made the move possesses the cultivation level of a Soul King.

A Soul King is already a powerful figure in the world of soul masters, but in front of Amona, who has already displayed the cultivation of a Soul King and is a genius, he is just a Soul King.

What's more, Amona is also accompanied by a team of powerful soul masters.

This soul master guard team was composed of guards sent by a duke who was very optimistic about Amona, plus a group of guards who were nominally from the Casas family but were actually the elite of the Beast Soul Alliance.

This kind of attack was a complete suicide attack.

Indeed, this Soul King did not even think about his own survival. When he saw that he was about to be captured, he simply chose to commit suicide.

This is undoubtedly a dead man.

In Douluo Continent, the force that can raise Soul King-level warriors is already a leader.

There was no panic on Amona's face.

The people around were fleeing in panic, but Amona continued to lead the team forward as if nothing had happened, but in the opposite direction of the original direction.

Although Amona didn't care about the assassination, he had to show a tough attitude, even if it was just for the nobles who supported him, and let the law enforcement agencies in the imperial city conduct a search regarding the assassination.

At this moment, assassins from other forces who had been hiding in the crowd for a long time took action.

Although these assassins do not have secret techniques like the Breath-Containing Technique, their techniques for controlling their breath are also superb.

I thought they were the same Soul King-level fighters as before, but one of them suddenly burst out with Soul Emperor-level aura and attacked Amona.

Amona's expression changed, and she quickly used her martial spirit to possess her body, causing a violent collision with it.

The ability to send out a Soul Emperor-level warrior must naturally be from the royal guards around Dai Mubai.

They concealed their breath, changed their appearance, hid in the crowd, and took advantage of the chaos to attack.

However, in order not to reveal his identity, he was ultimately somewhat restrained and did not even engage in spirit possession.

The royal guard confronted Amona for a moment and soon his expression changed.

Because he suddenly discovered that when he was not possessed by his martial spirit, he was no match for Amona.

Even though his original goal was just to divide the battlefield and delay Amona, this situation of being completely disadvantaged was beyond his expectations.

Just when he was feeling heavy-hearted, two assassins jumped out from the crowd to help.

However, although two Soul Emperors and one Soul King besieged Amona at the same time, they were still suppressed by Amona and were completely unable to carry out their original plan smoothly.

Not far away, Dai Mubai, who was standing in the shadows, saw this scene with an extremely gloomy expression.

The strength displayed by Amona far exceeded his expectations.

In the previous sequence battle, Amona only let others know about her Soul King cultivation, but due to her extremely stable soul power control and the fact that no one challenged her head-on, her true level was not detected.

'This guy is probably not just a beginner at the Soul King level. He may have already gone a long way in the Soul King level!'

Dai Mubai thought silently.

Being on the sidelines, he could see things clearly.

With a higher-than-expected cultivation level, coupled with her own talent, Amona can already be regarded as a Soul Emperor.

And it is natural for a Soul Emperor to be able to suppress several Soul Emperors who are restrained and unable to fully exert their strength.

Dai Mubai realized that in the imperial city, only multiple Soul Saints or Soul Douluo fighters could possibly defeat Amona, and this assassination attempt was a complete failure. But Dai Mubai did not make any moves like making secret signals.

Because although Amona showed abilities beyond expectations, Dai Mubai believed that the Royal Guards would be able to make appropriate responses. If he gave orders rashly, they might be secretly recorded by people who might be observing this assassination farce, and become gossip and evidence in the future.

So Dai Mubai did not take any action.

As expected, after realizing that it was impossible to capture Amona without exposing their identities, the assassins seemed to have telepathically chosen to retreat.

With their tacit cooperation, even though Amona had the upper hand on the surface, she still couldn't stop them or cause them any serious damage.

Amona hesitated a little.

She was wondering whether she should take advantage of the opportunity when the assassin gave up and leave the imperial city, or continue with her previous idea and go to the palace to meet the emperor and demand that the assassin be investigated and punished.

She could feel that those who had just besieged her and her guards were all powerful Soul Emperors.

The intensity of this assassination is not comparable to that of the previous Soul King assassin, so the previous strategy cannot be applied mechanically.

At this moment, You Xing, who knew everything, transmitted a message: "There are two Soul Saints keeping an eye on this place in the dark."
