Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Davis's move was indeed a significant investment, demonstrating his sincere commitment.

For Wu Qilai, allowing the Spirit Hall to flourish within the Star Luo Empire was an achievement worthy of being recorded in history.

He accomplished what his predecessors had failed to do during his term, which was enough to make him one of the top popes in the history of the Spirit Hall.

It must be said that Davis had done his homework beforehand and had a good understanding of Wu Qi's "needs".

However, he misjudged Wu Qi's ambition. Wu Qi did want the Spirit Hall to spread throughout the Star Luo Empire, but not with the Star Luo Emperor's approval, but after unifying the continent.

Wu Qi snorted lightly, "Your ambitions are quite considerable."

Davis smiled in response: "My father once said that as a prince of the empire, if one wants to stand at the pinnacle, one must fight for it. I don't want to become a fallen soul beneath Dai Mubai's feet; I must fight. I hope His Holiness the Pope can offer me some support."

Wu Qi did not refuse, and said with a smile, "You have told me such important information. In exchange, if you fail in the competition, I can provide you with protection and guarantee your personal safety. Of course, that's all. I have no interest in interfering in the internal affairs of the Star Luo Empire."

"As for other exchanges, as you said before, you need to fight for them yourself."

Wu Qi had no reason to be overly enthusiastic about this; Davis wasn't stupid, and he would easily see the problem afterward.

While providing security protection, the Spirit Hall did not offer any substantial assistance to the other party on the surface.

But for Davis, with this security guarantee, he can be more aggressive in his next move, turning the Star Luo Dynasty upside down, which would actually benefit the Spirit Hall.

Davis first expressed his gratitude, then feigned confusion and asked, "Your Holiness, I am unsure what price I am required to pay. Please enlighten me."

Wu Qi glanced at the other party and said indifferently, "Now that I have ascended to the throne, I will naturally reform the previous dynasty's system. This includes reforms that will affect the entire continent."

If Davis still doesn't understand now, he's not worthy of vying for the position of crown prince.

Afterwards, the two talked about some trivial matters, and soon after, Davis left Papal Hill.

This time, he had obtained the security guarantee he wanted. Although it was an informal meeting, as the Pope, Wu Qi could not possibly break his promise in a conversation of this level.

For Davis, this meant he now had a powerful backer. From this moment on, there was no need for him to remain in the shadows. He needed to find a suitable reason to return to the court and reclaim his rightful voice.

……

Time flies, and there are only three days left until the coronation ceremony of the new pope.

The royal families of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire arrived in Wuhun City today.

At this moment, countless eyes are fixed on the emperors of the two great empires. Even if Dai Tianfeng wanted to stand by and watch, he had to adopt a stance of stopping the war.

At Wu Qi's invitation, the emperors of the two empires went to the Papal Palace to discuss the upcoming situation on the continent.

The Haotian Sect has already made corresponding arrangements regarding the contents of Bibi Dong's secret letter. In order to avoid getting into trouble, Dai Tianfeng did not mention this matter during the negotiations, but instead looked at Wu Qi with a hint of mockery.

Inside the Papal Palace.

Xue Qinghe took the initiative to attack, saying, "As the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, instead of thinking about how to govern the country and its people, you have repeatedly made trouble for my Tiandou royal family."

"Heh, Dai Tianfeng, you've done a good job as emperor!" Xue Qinghe's words were all prepared in advance by Wu Qi. Moreover, the border dispute was originally caused by the Xingluo royal family protecting the Haotian Sect, and Xue Qinghe was avenging his father, thus occupying the moral high ground.

However, Xue Qinghe looked like a wronged young wife, nestled in the arms of the Spirit Hall.

But Dai Tianfeng was no pushover either.

One of the reasons he personally came to Wuhun City was to avoid the Heaven Dou royal family becoming too closely bound to the Wuhun Hall.

Faced with Xue Qinghe's accusations, he chuckled, displaying the composure of a mature politician, "Xue Qinghe, you are still too young and impetuous. You want to challenge the prestige of my Star Luo royal family, so it is only reasonable for us to take corresponding countermeasures."

"I didn't expect you to react so strongly. My Star Luo Empire doesn't provoke trouble, but it's not afraid of trouble either. What is there to fear if we go to war with the heavens?"

"In the past, I was on good terms with your father, and there was no war on the border for more than ten years. On the contrary, after you ascended the throne, the border became unsettled. As for the responsibility for this, whether it lies with you or with me, those with discerning eyes can make their own judgment!"

As a stand-in, Xue Qinghe's abilities were very limited. Faced with this old fox, all he could do was get angry and couldn't think of a way to deal with him.

But don't forget, Wu Qi was there. With his strength, he could transmit the words to Xue Qinghe's mind with just a thought.

With Wu Qi's help, Xue Qinghe immediately felt more confident and gradually calmed down.

"What? So, my act of avenging my father is considered a challenge to the imperial authority of the Star Luo Empire? The Star Luo Emperor is truly domineering!"

"I issued a nationwide arrest warrant for the Haotian Sect long ago. How they escaped the blockade and reached the Star Luo Empire was already questionable. I never expected that the Star Luo royal family would protect them as soon as they entered the Star Luo Empire. If you say that your Star Luo Empire did not join forces with the Haotian Sect to assassinate my father, I will never believe it!"

"Heh, I've figured it out now. The excuse of protecting the Haotian Sect is just a way to prevent it from falling into my hands, and then to catch you, this big fish!"

"Furthermore, protecting the Haotian Sect is a pretense; their true intention is to seize the land of my Heavenly Dou Empire!"

Anyone can turn the tables and accuse someone.

Moreover, the Star Luo royal family has many questionable aspects in this matter.

If the war were won, naturally no one would think Dai Tianfeng's decision was wrong. But now, the border is embroiled in a protracted war of attrition, and anti-war sentiment is strong within the Star Luo Empire. If Xue Qinghe's words were to be leaked, it would inevitably cause an uproar within the Star Luo Empire and could even affect the foundation of the royal family's rule.

Dai Tianfeng's heart skipped a beat.

Previously, when Xue Qinghe dared not speak out in anger, he thought he had the upper hand. However, he did not expect that Xue Qinghe was extremely good at pretending. These words have put him in a difficult position.

Left with no other choice, he could only turn to Wu Qi for help. Undoubtedly, without the intervention of a third party, the negotiations would not only fail, but he would also suffer a complete defeat.

Seeing that the other party had softened and his eyes were no longer as arrogant as before, Wu Qi's attitude softened a bit, and he casually said, "Your Majesty Xue Qinghe, you can't be so ruthless."

"Your Majesties have come to my Papal Palace today not to quarrel, but to come up with a reasonable solution."

"I have recently made the following suggestions, taking into account the demands of the two great empires and the situation on the battlefield. Please review them."

With that, he casually waved his hand, and the two documents fell into the hands of the two emperors. (End of Chapter)
