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

This fierce struggle can be said to be an important trigger for Monardo's perfect condition to be exposed.

All seven candidates were involved in this great struggle, except Monardo.

Those who support Monardo cannot help but be surprised and puzzled.

From their perspective, the fact that Monardo was just faking his illness could not be concealed for too long.

The nobles are all connected to each other's intelligence networks, so it is impossible that not all of them were deceived by Monardo.

Not to mention that some of the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce’s actions and some large-scale transactions were not deliberately hidden, and could not be hidden.

In their eyes, the other seven candidates and the forces behind them must be blind to have not noticed the clues.

But among the seven candidates who fought to the death, only Monardo was missed. This situation was too glaring.

Someone realized something, kept silent, and secretly rejoiced that he had made the right bet this time.

But some people panicked and took the initiative to ask questions.

In this process, news inevitably leaked.

Since nobility is inherited through blood, it is inevitable that there will be people who are unworthy of their positions and lack the ability.

You Chen didn't have the leisure to monitor all the forces that had exchanges with the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, the Beast Soul Alliance had already anticipated the occurrence of this situation.

As the news that Monardo was safe and sound spread, the remaining five candidates who were still fighting each other stopped their dispute as if the pause button had been pressed.

No, now there are only three left.

Because in this chaos, the Beast Soul Alliance assassins who had been waiting for an opportunity took advantage of the chaos and killed two more people.

The number of candidates was cut in half from the original eight, which also symbolized that the imperial election had entered the next stage...

No, it's over!

It's over!
……

Xingluo Imperial Capital.

Handsome Dai Mubai stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of a high-rise building, gazing at the scenery outside.

It has been more than a year since he became a eunuch.

The changes of yin and yang that were not visible at first finally became increasingly apparent.

If Dai Mubai hadn't put on a lot of makeup before going out every day, even someone who had been staying by his side and couldn't feel the sudden change between a year ago and now would probably have noticed something was wrong.

That feminine appearance that was neither androgynous nor feminine could not be completely concealed even with the dark makeup.

This is definitely not the image that a future emperor or a good man of the Dai family should have.

Dai Mubai was looking out the window, his expression calm, but there was a sinister look in his eyes.

After a year of tempering in the imperial selection process, the young man who once showed his emotions on his face has gained some of the heaviness and majesty that a true emperor should have.

On a tall building not far away, LCD screens replaced some of the glass windows, forming the "high-definition display" that the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce had just launched this year.

The so-called "advertisement" was playing inside.

What was promoted in the advertisement was naturally the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce’s hot new product of the season.

Whether it is the "film and television" in the display or the "advertising" concept, they are all unprecedented new things and have formed a new trend.

It has become popular in the Xingluo Empire and is sought after by countless nobles and subjects.

And this is the reason why Dai Mubai, whose transformation into a hermaphrodite could not shake, was feeling irritated.

"A mere illegitimate child actually did such a thing. What do you mean by sharing happiness with the people? Tying money merchants to the royal family, where does this put the dignity of the royal family? Doesn't he have any awareness that he is a candidate for the crown prince? Uncle, doesn't this Monaldo deserve to die?"

In order to cover up his strange voice, Dai Mubai deliberately lowered his voice, making it sound deep and cold.

From behind him, a familiar face stepped out from the shadows.

Ettore said with a gloomy face, "Mu Bai, stop watching the show here. The situation is not favorable for you now."

"Oh?"

Dai Mubai sneered: "In this imperial capital, under the emperor's feet, do I still need to worry about my safety?"

Half a month ago, two of the remaining four candidates for the crown prince died unexpectedly.

According to the testimony of eyewitnesses, Dai Mubai seemed to be closely related to it.

The worst thing was that during that period of time, Dai Mubai disappeared under the pretext of seclusion.

In other words... there is no alibi.

All other candidates died, leaving only Dai Mubai and Monaldo.

Dai Mubai knew without a second thought that it was Monardo who sent people to assassinate the other two candidates and then put the blame on him.

Not only Dai Mubai knew this, the emperor, other high-ranking officials of the empire, and great nobles all thought the same way.

Because unless Dai Mubai has been kicked in the head by a donkey and has gone crazy, there is no way he would go against other candidates after Monaldo has shown an overwhelming advantage.

But there's no way, there's no evidence.

Dai Mubai bet the resources of the crown prince sequence and demanded to confront Monardo in the imperial court.

Of course, he didn't really want to find evidence, but wanted to lure Monardo into the imperial city and then kill him with absolute power to reverse the situation.

This is not against the rules.

But there are only two candidates left now. Once he kills Monardo, he will be the only candidate for the crown prince and will directly ascend to the position of crown prince.

Even though he would still be held accountable by the Empire's Elders Council afterwards, which might lead to instability in the imperial power after he ascends the throne in the future, Dai Mubai no longer cared about that.

As long as we can win now, we can make up for it in the future.

Military force is his only advantage now.

Dai Mubai knew that Monardo had the support of the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce.

He also knew that there were at least two Titled Douluo fighters behind the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce.

But there are two problems with the Titled Douluo force behind Monardo.

One is that Dai Mubai doesn’t think that the leader of such a huge force will always protect Monardo.

The second problem is that even if Dai Mubai uses the power of the Elders' Council to kill Monardo by force, it will only be a minor trouble. But on the other hand, if Monardo uses the titled strongmen of the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce to kill him, it will cause panic and even turmoil among the top leaders of the empire.

Nowadays, there are voices among the imperial high-ranking officials that "Monardo is just a puppet of the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce" and "The Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce intends to usurp the imperial power."

only……

Such voices did not cause much waves.

Because the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce's media advantage is too advanced and powerful compared to the Star Luo Empire, it is too difficult to spread the "Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce Threat Theory".

That's why Dai Mubai hated this so much.

Even if the empire wanted to forcibly remove the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce's media, it did not have the power to do so.

Without any righteous cause, such an action would be tantamount to openly becoming an enemy of the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce.

Such a consequence would probably be unacceptable even to the imperial high-ranking officials who are hostile to the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce.

It's very simple.

If a country is able to forcibly restrain the media, it must have absolute military force.

However, the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce's middle-level military force is quite strong, and its cutting-edge military force even crushes the Star Luo Empire.

Once restraint is imposed, war will most likely break out.

A war between a country and a chamber of commerce would be a joke in Youchen's previous life and modern homeland, but it is no joke in this world.

Moreover, although he was reluctant to admit it, even the Xingluo Emperor did not think that they would be able to win once the war broke out.

Because the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce has brought unprecedented freshness and happiness to the nobles who have become tired of entertainment, it has a certain number of supporters even among the top leaders of the empire.

After all, the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce has always abided by the rules of the game since entering Xingluo.

Although these high-ranking officials of the empire also possess certain imperial power, they have no chance of getting involved in the highest power.

So even if the imperial power eventually falls into the hands of others and a merchant comes to power, they won't care as long as the rules of the game don't change.

So now it is the imperial family that needs to be respectable and need to confine the war as much as possible to the dispute over the imperial election.

Now Dai Mubai is worried that Monardo will not come.

If Monardo did not come to the imperial city and was unwilling to confront him, he could indeed use this opportunity to attack him.

However, this cannot change the general trend.

Even if he really ruined Monardo's reputation, as long as Monardo was still alive, he would have no hope of winning the final sequence battle ten years later.

That is a slow death.

In fact, by that time, the other party might have already become a Soul Sage.

Relying on his strong qualifications, even if the elders of the clan used their martial soul fusion skills to reveal their titled combat power, they were unable to defeat him.

If Monardo's background was not too strong, the royal family and the Council of Elders would have worried about being usurped, and they would have probably chosen Monardo directly, just like Davis and Dai Mubai did before.

After all, Monardo and Zhu Zhuqing have already demonstrated their martial soul fusion skills, and are far more suitable to inherit the Xingluo throne than Dai Mubai, a lonely man.

Now it's the other way around.

The Xingluo Empire is different from the Tiandou Empire.

The Tiandou royal family is not known for its military power, and its rule is more gentle in comparison, so it is common to confer titles on Douluo guests, or to allow the princes to establish diplomatic relations with the top three sects that possess top military forces.

The Xingluo royal family is completely opposite to the Tiandou royal family. This can be seen from their system of selecting the crown prince. Even if the emperor is not the strongest in the empire, at least he cannot be so weak that he can be suppressed by his subordinates or allies.

The current emperor fought his way to the top, and although he was only at the peak of Soul Douluo and had not broken through to the Titled level, nor did he have a soul core like the new-age Soul Douluo like Diwan, he relied on his own combat ability and his powerful martial soul, and now in his prime, he also possessed the combat power at the threshold level of Titled Douluo.

Unfortunately, the queen who was able to perform martial soul fusion skills with him died a long time ago. Otherwise, the two of them would be the strongest fighting force of the Xingluo royal family if they were combined into one.

There are many different opinions about the death of the Queen, Dai Mubai's mother. The two most popular rumors in Xingluo are:

One possibility is that the Tiandou royal family did not want to see the Xingluo royal family produce another pair of fused titled combat forces, and it is very likely that they are not ordinary titled combat forces, so they poisoned and killed them.

The other possibility is that when the Spirit Hall was planning to take action against the Haotian Sect, the Xingluo royal family did not decisively draw a line between itself and the Haotian Sect at the beginning, which led to the queen being assassinated by the Spirit Hall.

Precisely because of their titled combat power, the Xingluo royal family knew the value of the top three sects and the weight of the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce's president who was able to defeat the three people from the Sword Bone Tower.

They didn't even dare to entertain the idea that Monardo could control the president.

The gap in military strength is too great.

If it was just the weakest title of Dugu Bo, it would be barely acceptable.

With Monardo's unprecedented talent for cultivation, it will not be a problem for him to break through to the title in the future. Coupled with his martial soul fusion technique, he can easily control a Titled Douluo Guest.

But the martial power displayed by the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce's president was something they could not even imagine being able to control.

This world's knowledge of high-level powers is closed, as can be seen from the fact that Bone Douluo didn't even know the difference between Super Douluo and Titled Douluo before Sword Douluo explained it to him.

The Douluo Empire has never possessed the most powerful military force, so even the elders of the Xingluo Elder Council do not know how powerful the so-called Extreme Douluo is.

They could not imagine that one person alone could suppress the power of an entire country, but even so, they still thought highly of You Chen and believed that he should never do anything to let a wolf into the house.

That is why they have a special preference for Dai Mubai.

Although he would not directly assassinate Monardo, there would be no problem in helping Dai Mubai cover up the traces of the assassination or resisting the possible appearance of the titled strongman.

If it is really impossible, and Monardo finally ascends the throne, then...

We can only make plans until then, to see whether he really becomes a puppet of the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce, or a new supreme emperor who shoulders the rise of the titled strongmen.

This is probably how it all started.

Dai Mubai said calmly: "Rather than worrying about my safety, I am more concerned about whether that guy has the courage to enter this imperial city!"

Putting himself in his shoes, if it were him, he would indeed choose to wait until the ten-year deadline and ascend the throne without any setbacks.

However, if Monardo made such a choice, the elders would remain unchanged in their minds. As time went on, they would probably be displeased with his cowardly behavior. Adding to their concerns about the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce taking over his position, they might directly attack Monardo.

Of course, this is just a possibility, not a sure thing.

Unfortunately, Dai Mubai had no other choice.

The longer you delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for you.

If it were the Dai Mubai who escaped in the past, he would probably be extremely anxious waiting for Monardo, and trembling with fear for the possible death of himself.

But now, he still remains calm.

On any other day, Ettore would have secretly admired Dai Mubai's calmness.

But now, Ettore looked strange and said, "No, Mubai, I'm not worried about your safety."

"Hmm?" Dai Mubai frowned, slightly confused.

Ettore looked at Dai Mubai. Even with his strength, he was inexplicably worried about Dai Mubai's reaction after he said the next words.

But he finally took a deep breath, his face strange, and said slowly: "Mu Bai, someone spread a rumor that you... have lost your fertility. Now the whole imperial capital is spreading this rumor about you."

boom!
It was as if another bolt of lightning struck my mind.

Dai Mubai stared with his eyes wide open.

At this moment, his figure appeared on the LCD screen outside. (End of this chapter)
