Douluo: The martial soul Nine-headed Xiangliu swallows the sky and devours the earth!

Chapter 169 Banquet Scene
In the evening, someone came to the hotel to inform them that the banquet was about to begin, and that Dugu Bo and Ye Lingyu, Dugu Xiao and Lin Wanqiu (a married couple), and Ye Qingxian were also present.

Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, Bai He, Dugu Yao and Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling, along with the staff, arrived at the banquet venue.

When they arrived, more than half of the guests had already arrived. Most of them were nobles from the Heaven Dou Empire, and the rest were from sects or family forces.

Although the Xuanling Pill Sect keeps a low profile, it holds a very high position in the hearts of the Heavenly Dou royal family, which is why they are seated at the very front.

On either side are the seats of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, one of the three upper sects, and the seat of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which is infinitely glorious among the three upper sects. Also in this row are the seats of the other members of the Heaven Dou Royal Family.

When the Xuanling Pill Sect members arrived, the scene was completely silent. Everyone present noticed Dugu Bo and his group. Although Dugu Bo kept his aura under control, he still released a faint but terrifying aura.

This is a titled powerhouse!
Those who meet Dugu Bo for the first time will immediately have this thought in their minds. Of course, it is true that Dugu Bo himself is a titled Douluo powerhouse, and his reputation precedes him.

Some of them had never met Dugu Bo, but they knew that he was a titled Soul Master who had single-handedly created the Xuanling Pill Sect and developed pills!
In the world of Soul Masters, there are various titles such as Theory Master, Martial Soul Master, Soul Beast Master, etc., and Dugu Bo himself does not consider himself a Pill Master.

However, the Soul Masters in the Soul Master world do not think so. They wholeheartedly acknowledge him as a master of alchemy, since it was Dugu Bo who researched and developed the elixir.

"The Xuanling Pill Sect's Sect Master, Dugu Bo, has arrived!"

"Elder Ye Lingyu of the Xuanling Pill Sect has arrived!"

"Yang Wudi, the Second Elder of the Xuanling Pill Sect, has arrived!"

"The Third Elder, Niu Gao, of the Xuanling Pill Sect has arrived!"

"Elder Bai He of the Xuanling Pill Sect has arrived!"

"Xuanling Pill Sect."

"Xuanling Pill Sect."

As the loud voice resounded throughout the living room, it was officially announced that the Xuanling Pill Sect had arrived, and almost all the sect's high-ranking members had come to attend the banquet.

As the voice fell, resounding and powerful, all the guests stood up in unison, watching as the other person walked towards them, and thunderous applause filled the air, welcoming their arrival.

"The Xuanling Pill Sect seems to be taking this banquet very seriously. One Title Douluo and seven Soul Douluos—that's practically all of the Xuanling Pill Sect's high-ranking members, isn't it?"

"Back then, the Xuanling Pill Sect was just a newly established sect. But with the fall of the Haotian Sect and the recruitment of members by the Xuanling Pill Sect, three of the four single-attribute sects have grown stronger and stronger!"

"It must be said that, under normal circumstances, the Xuanling Pill Sect keeps a low profile and doesn't show its strength, but the Xuanling Pill Sect is still very terrifying and is in no way weaker than the three upper sects."

The guests chatted amongst themselves, some expressing感慨 (feelings of emotion), some wary, and others lost in thought, all within a short period of time.

The Xuanling Pill Sect has developed to this point; it's simply a miracle. At first glance, it seems like a different world. The Xuanling Pill Sect has actually become so powerful.

Dugu Bo and the others, amidst enthusiastic applause, arrived at their seats. Their Xuanling Pill Sect was the first to arrive at the front row. However, with little time before the banquet began, the rest of the group should arrive soon.

Dugu Xiao leaned back lazily in the wooden chair, his gaze sweeping over all the guests present. These people were all the powerful and influential figures in the Tiandou Empire today, a very comprehensive gathering.

Among these powerful and influential people, some would come and talk to them in order to get closer to them, and of course, the Xuanling Pill Sect would greet them with a smile.

"This banquet, even the air itself, is permeated with the corruption of power and the temptation of money," Dugu Xiao said, referring to every person in power and holding a high position.

They were all dirty, at least that's what he thought. Those shady gray industries, those decaying things in the shadows, were all closely related to these people.

“Perhaps in the future, some of us in this group will cooperate,” Lin Wanqiu said, looking at her husband.

Although these people are all high-ranking and powerful figures in the Heaven Dou Empire, they are incomparable to those who are about to arrive.

It could even be said that although they wielded immense power in the Heaven Dou Empire, they were still just ordinary people. Powerful Soul Masters with high positions and authority were, after all, a minority.

Dugu Yao nodded slightly. Although these people appeared glamorous on the surface, beneath their facades lay filth, decay, and depravity.

Within the Heavenly Dou Empire, the gray industries such as human trafficking in those auction houses are inextricably linked to this group of people; it would be impossible to say they have no connection whatsoever.

Of course, there are indeed people who are honest and incorruptible, but they are just exceptions. To be honest, the Spirit Hall wants to create a unified empire in the future.

He actually agreed, at least it could inject fresh vitality and make life less difficult for ordinary people, but in the end it failed because of the power of the Soul Masters.

The rule of the two great empires could last for a long time without external factors. Even if a foolish emperor appeared, as long as the power of soul masters existed, a crisis of rule would arise.

"To be honest, this world is somewhat distorted. Of course, we ourselves are also beneficiaries," Dugu Yao thought to himself. Although he disapproved of it, he himself belonged to this class.

The establishment of the future Martial Soul Empire will challenge people of their class, challenge the royal powers of the two great empires, challenge the old Soul Master forces, and establish entirely new rules.

Although the woman and the pope in the original timeline were indeed quite crazy, it must be said that if it weren't for other factors, the Spirit Hall would definitely have succeeded.

The two great empires will become dust in history, while the Martial Soul Empire will become the only empire on this continent. Compared to the systems of the two great empires, the Martial Soul Empire's system is far superior.

If it ultimately succeeds and completely integrates the entire Soul Master world and the entire continent, the power of the Spirit Empire could reach unimaginable levels.

It is more conducive to the progress of this continent and the development of this world. Overall, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. There are some disadvantages, but they are not that great.

After all, no system can be said to be without any flaws.

As for his words, he had no intention of changing the world. That would be too tiring and too difficult. The enemy is the entire world, so the difficulty is unimaginable. It is truly rare and commendable that the Spirit Hall has the courage to do so.
