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

Two days later, Tang San and Hailong Douluo returned to the Haotian Sect.

Tang San immediately informed Tang Xiao and Yu Xiaogang about the situation with the Angel God's power.

After discussion, the Haotian Sect also felt that Qian Renxue had not yet become a god.

However, they had prepared for both possibilities.

Some core disciples within the sect were instructed to pack their belongings and, under the pretext of carrying out a mission, were temporarily housed in cities surrounding the sect. If things went wrong, they would immediately evacuate to Seagod Island to preserve the seeds of future revenge.

For the next two weeks, all of the Clear Sky Sect's informants were deployed to observe the Spirit Hall's actions. However, after a long time, there was still no indication that the Spirit Hall had any plans to mobilize troops.

With two deities overseeing Wuhun City, the Clear Sky Sect's informants couldn't hide at all and were almost completely wiped out. But don't forget, the Spirit Hall is a continent-wide organization, and its spirit masters are scattered throughout the continent.

Aside from Spirit City, which is a restricted area, other cities are not. If the Spirit Hall truly intends to annex the entire continent, it will inevitably recall all the spirit masters scattered throughout the continent, just as it did when Bibi Dong was in power.

On the mainland, apart from the Haotian Sect being on high alert, other forces have not taken any action, clearly indicating that a major war will not occur in the short term.

In response, Tang San concluded that it was the second possible outcome he had previously guessed, and that it was highly likely that Qian Renxue's trial had reached an important stage, rather than the emergence of a new Angel God.

Next, Tang San, as planned, went to Star Luo City with Sea Dragon Douluo to help Dai Mubai stabilize his position in the imperial court.

The Clear Sky Sect was a supporter of Dai Mubai, and Tang Xiao had offered Dai Mubai many suggestions during this time. Unfortunately, the Clear Sky Sect's headquarters were located far from Star Luo City, resulting in a delay of several days in communication.

Even if Tang Xiao wanted to help Dai Mubai, he couldn't stay by Dai Mubai's side because he needed to stay in the sect.

Furthermore, Dai Tianfeng was very wary of the Haotian Sect.

In the first two years after the Haotian Sect moved to the Star Luo Empire, Dai Tianfeng gave Dai Mubai a lot of extra attention. But as time went by, Dai Mubai remained the same good-for-nothing.

If Dai Mubai really becomes emperor, will he be able to control the Haotian Sect in the future? If he can't, it's hard to say whether the Xingluo royal family will be surnamed Dai or Tang in the future.

Dai Tianfeng would naturally not allow the legacy built by his ancestors to fall into the hands of others. Now that Davis has made a strong comeback and has a close relationship with the Spirit Hall, and is also quite politically astute, Davis seems to be the most suitable candidate.

As the ten-year deadline set by Dai Tianfeng draws ever closer, Davis has barely reached the Soul Saint realm, while Zhu Zhuyun is still only a peak Soul Emperor. Dai Mubai is already a high-level Soul Douluo, and Zhu Zhuqing recently entered the Soul Douluo realm as well.

Once the struggle for the crown prince title between the two begins, it will be clear who is stronger and who is weaker. Zhu Zhuqing alone would be enough to sweep away the Davis couple.

In order to favor Davis, Dai Tianfeng selectively ignored the matter, and no one in the entire court dared to discuss it privately.

Dai Tianfeng's purpose is already very clear: even if it violates the imperial ancestral precepts in the future, he will try his best to support Davis to take the throne.

……

Xingluo City, Dai Mubai's residence.

Upon hearing about the situation at the Star Luo court, Tang San's expression became somewhat unnatural.

He couldn't help but retort, "Mu Bai, His Majesty is intentionally violating ancestral rules. Why don't you, as a prince, join forces with the ministers to submit a memorial? According to the royal family's ancestral rules, this is clearly in your favor. Why don't you try to advocate for yourself?"

Dai Mubai may be incompetent in court, but he is not stupid. Why would he not take any action when something is clearly in his own interest?

Tang San really couldn't understand it. Besides, even if it angered Dai Tianfeng afterward and weakened Dai Mubai's power, it was still better than being slowly boiled like a frog in water, right?

Those ministers are all very shrewd. If Dai Mubai doesn't even have the courage to fight for himself, why should they support him? On the contrary, even if the outcome is less than satisfactory, at least he has demonstrated his competitiveness.

It should be noted that both Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing are Soul Douluo, and they are still very young. Even if they cannot rise to power through conventional means in the future, some ministers will choose to gamble with them for the sake of their service in supporting the emperor.

But now, Dai Mubai is doing nothing, behaving extremely cowardly. Even if his strength surpasses Dai Tianfeng's in the future, few ministers will dare to join him in launching a palace coup.

Faced with Tang San's criticism, Zhu Zhuqing spoke up: "Third Brother, it's not that we don't want to do anything, but that we can't. Davis's connection with the Spirit Bank is too deep, and he's one of the review officials of the Spirit Daily. He has too much power."

The Martial Soul Bank can gather most of the wealth of the empire's people and has a huge amount of money in its hands. Who would dare to offend it easily?

Not to mention, there's also the Martial Soul Daily, a powerful weapon.

Not long after Davis returned to court, the two dukes who supported Dai Mubai were caught in a media storm.

How many high-ranking ministers are without a few scandals? In addition, the people of the Star Luo Empire are known for their fierce and unruly nature. After the Martial Soul Daily dug up the scandals of the two dukes, protests broke out in various parts of Star Luo.

To quell public anger, the two dukes were temporarily dismissed from their posts and sent back to their hometowns. One of the dukes, not wanting to ruin his reputation in his later years and also not wanting to lose the power he held, switched sides to Davis's camp.

This undoubtedly dealt a blow to the confidence of Dai Mubai's camp.

Afterwards, although Zhu Zhuqing tried her best to make amends, it was still a drop in the ocean under Davis's tactics.

Furthermore, Davis had made thorough preparations, leaving Dai Mubai no chance to even resort to desperate measures.

Zhu Zhuqing said with a grave expression, "Third Brother, that duke who was turned against us exhausted his last bit of affection and informed Mu Bai and me."

"Over the years, Davis has been hiding in the shadows, collecting a great deal of evidence of Mu Bai's dealings with the Haotian Sect, including multiple instances of betraying the Empire's interests."

Tang San was well aware of this.

In order to gain the support of the Haotian Sect, Dai Mubai would naturally promise the sect some benefits.

These things may seem insignificant at first glance, but once weighed, they become incredibly powerful. If exposed, the news of an imperial prince betraying the interests of the royal family to gain power would undoubtedly be the front page headline of the Martial Soul Daily.

By then, Dai Mubai will have no chance at all.

Of course, given that Davis received such strong support from the Spirit Hall, did he not make any promises to Wu Qi?
the answer is negative.

But even if Dai Mubai gets the evidence, so what? They don't have the influence and resources of the Martial Soul Daily, they don't even have the chance to fight to the death.

Even the usually taciturn Sea Dragon Douluo couldn't help but say, "The influence of the Martial Soul Daily is just too great."

"The Star Luo Royal Family and the Heaven Dou Royal Family strongly advocate that if the three parties want to take action against someone in the future, they only need to release dirt on that person a few days in advance. At that time, the will of the people will be there, and who can stop them?"

Tang San noticed it too.

After Wu Qi took over, the reforms implemented by the Spirit Hall were not impulsive decisions, but rather genuinely brought numerous benefits to the Spirit Hall. (End of Chapter)
