Douluo: Martial Soul Nine-Tailed Fox, I am the White Fox Emperor

Chapter 161 The bitter Prime Minister, if only he could cede territory and sue for peace!

Xue Qinghe stepped forward and gently patted Emperor Xue Ye's back: "Father, please take care of yourself. The empire will need you to lead it from now on."

Emperor Xueye looked at his crown prince with satisfaction, but it was a pity that Xue Qinghe was still too young.

Once he falls, Xue Qinghe alone will not be able to control the princes and ministers below him.

"fine."

Emperor Xueye's face was extremely grim, his expression dark and menacing: "Issue the order to send an envoy to the Spirit Hall to demand an explanation. Furthermore, dispatch 100,000 troops to Tianshui City. Since Tianshui City is the territory of my Heavenly Dou Empire, it cannot be lost!"
"Since he, the lord of Tianshui City, and Tianshui Academy have sided with the Spirit Hall, I cannot allow the territory of Tianshui City to be incorporated into the Spirit Empire!"

"Yes!"

The ministers received the imperial decree.

The Prime Minister, the head of the civil officials, asked with some concern, "Your Majesty, if the Martial Soul Empire takes a very tough stance, refusing to return the Tianshui territory and even sending troops to help, what should we do? Declare war?"

The general said, "Let's fight! My empire has a million soldiers, are they not enough to crush the Martial Soul Empire?"

The Prime Minister loudly rebuked, "No wonder you're a mere warrior! You have no brains at all! If only it were that simple! Do you even know how many high-ranking combatants the Martial Soul Empire has? Let's not even talk about those Venerable-level experts or those titled experts. Do you even know how many Soul Douluos there are?"

"The heads of the Martial Soul Branch Halls in all the main cities of the two great empires are definitely Soul Douluo level experts. Some branch halls even have Soul Douluo as their deputy heads. Do you want to count how many main cities the two great empires and all the major duchies have?"

"Although you are a general, your cultivation level is only a high-level Soul Douluo. Add to that the other generals and the three academic committee members of the academy, not counting the dean of the advanced Soul Master Academy, there are no more than ten Soul Douluos directly under the royal family, and not a single Title Douluo. Do you think you can fight them?"

"If you really want to fight, why don't you go and wipe out the Spirit Hall branch in Heaven Dou City first? Salas, do you think you can beat him? Huh? Look me in the eyes and answer me!"

General:
To be honest, although Salas is only a Soul Douluo, his strength is close to that of a Title Douluo.

Moreover, since he was able to serve as the Hall Master of the Martial Soul Branch Hall in Heaven Dou City, he must have some skills.

After all, Heaven Dou City is the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire and the closest to the Heaven Dou royal family. The Spirit Hall opening a branch here is actually a provocation against the imperial power.

The royal family would definitely take action against the branch halls in secret, but the Martial Soul Branch Hall of Heaven Dou City has always existed. Salas still appears very arrogant in front of Emperor Xueye, which clearly shows that he has extraordinary methods.

"Your Majesty, I really don't want to make sarcastic remarks, but there's something I have to say!"

"If the Spirit Hall is willing to fight a protracted war with us, we can still cope with it because of our large army. But what if the Spirit Hall carries out a decapitation strike?"

We are not familiar with the strength of the other Title Douluos in the Spirit Hall, but Your Majesty must be quite familiar with the abilities of two of them, right?

"Ghost Douluo Ghostly Phantom and Bone Dragon Bone Douluo!"

The moment the Prime Minister uttered these words, the entire room fell silent.

What is the strength of these two Title Douluos?

Which of the high-ranking officials present didn't know?
Both of them are veteran titled Douluo who have been famous throughout the continent for a long time. The former has a strange assassination technique that allows him to blend into the darkness.

As for Gu Rong, needless to say, although he is the number one defensive titled Douluo on the continent, his Bone Dragon Martial Soul has the ability to teleport.

It's just that there aren't many space-attribute soul beasts on the mainland. Otherwise, if Gu Rong had more space-attribute soul skills, he would have become an all-around Title Douluo!

After all, spatial properties are diverse, including spatial transfer, spatial cutting, spatial compression, spatial fragmentation, and so on.

It's a pity that Gu Rong only possesses one spatial teleportation soul skill; he doesn't have any soul skills related to spatial defense or offense. That's a bit of a shame.

Emperor Xueye felt a surge of resentment build up in his chest after being reprimanded by the Prime Minister. Finally, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted completely.

I was so angry.
What the hell!

Upon seeing this, the Prime Minister thought to himself, "Did I go too far?"
Prince Xuexing pointed at the Prime Minister's nose and angrily scolded, "Look what you've done! Couldn't you have told His Majesty in several installments? Why did you have to say it all at once? Don't you know His Majesty's health has always been very poor?"
Now that you've said that, His Majesty might not even survive this ordeal!

The prime minister looked bitter, unable to express his grievances: "Your Highness, the situation in the country is extremely urgent. How can I explain it in stages? These are all obvious crises."

"In a major war between two countries, soldiers would fight soldiers, generals would fight generals, and kings would not meet. But as you know, this is only when the two sides are not much different, or when the number of strong people is equal."

But what about the gap between us and the Spirit Empire? Does the Empire have anyone with the strength to withstand a Title Douluo?
"Let alone Ghost Douluo and Bone Douluo, even a Soul Douluo skilled in stealth and assassination could probably sneak into the palace without anyone noticing!"

The Prime Minister has now given up entirely and is speaking recklessly.

"If the Martial Soul Empire were truly shameless, sending just one powerful elder would be enough to wipe us all out."

"enough!"

At that moment, a childish voice spoke angrily.

Snow clears the river!
Xue Qinghe's eyes were bloodshot, and his brows were furrowed: "Now is not the time to talk about such things. Let's heal Father first! We can discuss the rest later!"

The Prime Minister realized he had gone too far and lowered his head: "I apologize, Your Highness, I was too excited."

How could he not be excited?

If the empire weren't currently facing instability and the crisis of national annihilation, he wouldn't want to get involved.

If the empire falls, his good days will be over too.

You must know that he also had a title and a fiefdom, and was second only to the emperor. He didn't want the country to perish more than anyone else.

He would be more than happy to cede territory to make peace if he could.

Although it damages the royal family's reputation, it allows them to prolong their existence and secretly cultivate their fighting strength as much as possible.

But it's clear to anyone with eyes that the Spirit Empire's ambition is to conquer the entire continent!
He couldn't cede territory even if he wanted to!
Moreover, Emperor Xueye might not agree; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so excited when Tianshui City announced its secession from the Empire and its joining the Martial Soul Empire.

For Emperor Xueye, the face of the royal family is perhaps more important!

This situation was not unique to the Heaven Dou Royal Family; the Star Luo Royal Family also heard about it and convened an emergency meeting.

Star Luo Empire.

above the hall.

Emperor Xingluo looked at the officials below and asked, "What are your thoughts on Tianshui City's submission to the Martial Soul Empire?"
