Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 453 The Starry Banquet: Hidden Dangers

Star Luo Palace.

Looking at the energetic Davis, Emperor Dai Zhen of the Star Luo Empire felt his gloomy mood, which had been building up recently, finally ease.

Upon learning of Davis's assassination, Dai Zhen was filled with rage. After all, Davis was the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire, and although he was not yet the crown prince, he was practically the designated heir.

If someone dares to assassinate Davis, wouldn't he also want to assassinate the Emperor if given the chance?
"Although Weiss, you have almost fully recovered, this matter must not be tolerated. It must be thoroughly investigated!"

"The trend of assassinating princes must be severely punished! If this trend is allowed to continue, our Xingluo Dynasty will surely descend into chaos!"

"Weiss, your suggestion is excellent."

"It seems that we really need to hold a banquet and have all the ministers and princes attend, to warn them against having any such thoughts."

Davis knelt on the ground.

"Thank you, Father!"

A look of joy flashed in his eyes.

This opportunity would allow them to force Dai Mubai to leave the mansion, thus giving them a chance to make their move.

If Dai Mubai chooses to refuse to go out, not only will he incur the displeasure of the Star Luo Emperor, but Davis will also seize the opportunity to make a big fuss, saying that Dai Mubai must have something to hide.

It can be described as having the ability to both attack and defend.

This plan was told to Davis by Zhu Zhuyun.

"Zhu Yun is truly my wonderful wife!"

Davis couldn't help but feel a little smug. Other women were lucky if they didn't bother their fiancés, but Zhu Zhuyun not only didn't cause Davis any trouble, but also brought him a lot of help.

If you get a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?
……

The mansion of the three princes.

When Dai Mubai received the news, he was terrified!
He strongly declined the offer.

"No, I won't go!"

"This is clearly a conspiracy by Davis! The moment I step out of the mansion, I will be met with his retaliation!"

The power wielded by Davis and Dai Mubai is incomparable. One is the Crown Prince, who has been deeply rooted in the court and the country for many years, and whose influence and strength far surpass those of Dai Mubai.

The other was cowardly and weak-willed, even abandoning his fiancée in the Star Luo Empire and fleeing alone in order to escape.

If Dai Mubai were to leave Tang Xiao's protection and lose the backing of a Title Douluo, Davis would have a thousand ways to kill him, which would be a matter of minutes.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has instructed that everyone must attend this banquet, especially you, Your Highness."

"Don't worry, the royal family will protect your safety."

The eunuch who came to deliver the message smiled, but his voice carried an undeniable firmness.

Dai Mubai was distraught and looked gloomy.

After delivering the message, the eunuch left.

The Shrek Academy students were left looking at each other, unsure of what to do.

Tang San couldn't help but look at Yu Xiaogang.

"Teacher, do you think Mu Bai should go?"

Yu Xiaogang hesitated and said:

"I do not know either."

"Could Xiaotian Douluo infiltrate the palace undetected and secretly protect Mu Bai?"

Tang Xiao shook his head.

"It would be fine elsewhere, but in the Star Luo Imperial Palace, the security is very tight. At the very least, I can't go in during the banquet."

But what if we don't go?

It's almost predictable that Davis will seize this opportunity, taking advantage of Dai Mubai's reluctance to leave the manor to launch a vicious attack on him. He will then continue to exploit the situation and soon exert further pressure.

Davis's move is a blatant, overt scheme.

No matter what choice Dai Mubai makes next, he will be in a very passive position.

Dai Mubai was so worried that his hair was almost falling out.

Among the crowd, Yu Xiaogang turned his gaze to Tang Xiao again, and suddenly pondered:

"Actually, this might be an opportunity."

Everyone else stared at him in surprise.

Yu Xiaogang enjoyed the attention he received. He stroked his stubble and said confidently:
"Since it's a royal banquet, everyone has to attend, so isn't Davis also part of it? This is a conspiracy against Mu Bai."

"But we might still be able to seize an opportunity from this!"

Tang Xiao involuntarily looked away.

How could he not know that Yu Xiaogang was once again suggesting to him that he take action against Davis?
However, once the arrow is released, there's no turning back.

He still hasn't made up his mind.

Do we really have to go to such extremes?
Yu Xiaogang was annoyed, but since Tang Xiao was the only high-end combatant, he couldn't say anything.

Brother, you've already defected to the Star Luo Empire and gotten involved in the messy struggle for the throne. Is there any way you can extricate yourself from it and remain unscathed?
Yu Xiaogang sometimes couldn't quite grasp Tang Xiao's thoughts. On the one hand, Tang Xiao was greedy and wanted to make a comeback for the Haotian Sect, which had been destroyed and whose reputation was ruined. On the other hand, Tang Xiao was timid and cowardly.

It's utterly contradictory.

To put it bluntly, bro, what are you afraid of?

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.

Your feet are practically rotting now, why would you be worried about getting your socks dirty?
However, perhaps it is precisely because Tang Xiao is so contradictory that he naively harbors fantasies about reviving the Haotian Sect, and even places his hopes on Dai Mubai.

In other words, if Tang Xiao hadn't been so stupid, they might not have gotten this helper at all.

Yu Xiaogang secretly gave Tang San a wink.

Tang San immediately said:
"Uncle, you must understand the principle that fortune favors the bold. If you're not willing to take even the slightest risk, how can you expect to reap a rich reward?"

"As long as Davis dies, Mu Bai, as the only prince, will definitely inherit the throne. Then the clouds will part and the moon will shine through."

Tang Xiao was extremely conflicted.

However, under the pressure of the silent gazes of the people around him, he finally sighed and agreed.

"Let me try."

A sudden wave of sorrow washed over Tang Xiao.

Although he was a super Douluo-level powerhouse, he was like a puppet on a string, lacking his own opinions and only able to follow the orders of others.

He suddenly regretted it.

Compared to the people of Shrek Academy, or even his own nephew Tang San, none of them seemed to be as trustworthy as Tang Yuehua.

If he had listened to Yuehua earlier, would things have been different?
Dai Mubai wore a bitter expression. "What about me? This palace banquet is clearly fraught with danger. Davis will definitely not let me go."

Yu Xiaogang said confidently:

"It's alright. Davis is just a mere prince now. He can't mobilize any experts at the Contra Douluo level. Having Xiao San protect you closely will effectively prevent poisoning or assassination."

Tang San's current realm is Soul Emperor. He has completed four Asura God Trials. As an assassin, he is naturally extremely sensitive to assassination.

Dai Mubai nodded helplessly, his gaze falling on Tang San's dark face, his voice pleading.

"Mistress, then it's up to you."

"Don't worry, Boss Dai."
