Douluo's Holy Lord at the Start

Chapter 266 Selling His Wife for Glory

"Star Luo Empire!"

Curiosity flashed in Gu Xuan's eyes, and his divine sense once again enveloped the Star Luo Empire.

Since awakening his divine sense ability, Gu Xuan has basically been able to project his consciousness directly to observe any doubts he may have.

Alternatively, one could extract the other person's memories and read them on the spot.

Seeing the faint light gradually appear in her young master's eyes, Dugu Yan wisely shut her mouth and stared at Gu Xuan with her bright, sparkling eyes, as if she wanted to completely etch his image into her mind.

Inside the Xingluo Imperial Palace, tens of thousands of kilometers away.

Emperor Dai Yutian of Xingluo gathered with a group of chief ministers at the Imperial Library.

"My esteemed ministers, the Martial Soul Empire's offensive is becoming increasingly intense. The empire is suffering heavy losses, and its battle lines are constantly shifting backward. If we do not stop it soon, we may lose another city."

Dai Yutian clenched his fists tightly.

The Spirit Hall has too many Spirit Masters, and its army is basically composed of Spirit Masters, while most of its soldiers are civilians. Even with a numerical advantage, they cannot withstand the tragic sacrifices.

In the end, they could only barely stabilize the situation by relying on the support of the Qian family, who were also part of the Spirit Hall.

This is utterly disgraceful!

This also made Dai Yutian feel powerless.

"The country is already gathering as many people as possible, and has even extended invitations to reclusive families, but very few have responded."

The Grand Secretary spoke first, his face also full of worry.

"Right now, the only one who can probably quell this battle is that guy from the Nine Hearts Begonia Sect. Do you think the First Prince and the others can bring him back?"

Minister Number One spoke up and asked.

They were talking about none other than themselves.

When they learned that the reason the Spirit Hall attacked them first was because Gu Xuan was in the Heaven Dou Empire, they almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

But now, all we can do is place our hopes on Gu Xuan.

"They definitely can. Even if it's not for anything else, they would do anything to bring him back just for the throne."

Dai Yutian said with a firm look in his eyes.

He believed in his sons' determination to vie for the throne.

"But even if we manage to get him to solve the Spirit Hall's problems, how are we supposed to get along with him?"

What if another Spirit Empire emerges?

Minister Number Two spoke cautiously.

Boom!

However, his words had barely fallen when a thunderclap sounded in the clear sky, and a bolt of lightning shot out from the void and struck Minister Number Two directly.

boom!

Minister No. 2 was struck directly by the lightning, his body instantly vaporized, leaving only a pitch-black seat behind.

quiet!

A deathly silence.

No one had time to realize what had happened before it was all over.

Everyone was stunned by what had just happened.

Dai Yutian looked up almost instinctively, but the ceiling above him was still intact.

The thunder seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

Everyone held their breath and dared not breathe.

They were terrified that the lightning would strike them at any moment.

It was too fast; they had no time to react beyond hearing and seeing.

They only had one question on their minds: How did they die?!

I think he only said one sentence, right?

Could it be that...?

hiss!

There wasn't a single fool present; upon recalling what Minister Number Two had just said, they all gasped in shock.

Good grief, while they're still begging for protection, you're already making malicious assumptions about them.

Let alone Gu Xuan, even they would be unhappy if they knew.

However, according to their calculations, shouldn't the people who went to ask for help have just arrived at their destination?

Could that person's speed be so terrifying?

"My subordinate was clumsy with words and offended you momentarily. Please forgive him, Your Majesty. He was merely representing his personal opinion; we had absolutely no such intentions."

Dai Yutian was unsure whether Gu Xuan was nearby, so he could only keep bowing towards the sky.

The other ministers also quickly stood up upon seeing this.

Some apologized, while others shifted the blame.

The evil of human nature is on full display.

However, all their efforts were ultimately in vain.

Nine Heart Begonia Sect!

The light in Gu Xuan's eyes faded, and his expression became somewhat indifferent as he withdrew his divine sense.

He wouldn't get angry; there are far too many people in the world who hate him, and he can't control those. But if anyone dares to say it out loud and he hears it, they'll only face certain death.

This is the attitude you have when asking for someone's protection. You're already worrying about the consequences before you've even gotten help. You must be out of your mind to offer assistance.

Nine-Heart Begonia Reception Room.

Ye Xinlan sat calmly on the high platform, while the representative of Xingluo Kingdom sat upright.

The people who came from the Star Luo Empire this time were divided into three groups: the eldest prince Davis, the second prince Dai Tianya, and the third prince Dai Mubai.

However, among the three, the eldest prince and the second prince both looked at Dai Mubai with a strange gaze.

His expression was unreadable.

All three could represent the Star Luo Empire and propose any conditions, as long as they could invite Gu Xuan or the Nine Heart Begonia Sect to the Star Luo Empire, whoever invited them would become the next Star Luo Emperor.

This gave Dai Tianya and Dai Mubai, who could only rely on force to fight back, a new hope.

They are prepared to give everything.

After all, Emperor Xingluo once said that they could name their terms as they pleased, as long as they could bear the consequences.

Compared to Davis, they wouldn't feel the slightest bit heartache even if they gave away half of the Star Luo Empire.

And they believed they had done thorough research before coming.

They'll give up anything: status, money.

Dai Mubai, in particular, brought over several beautiful girls carefully selected from the Star Luo Empire.

They attempted to bribe them with their beauty, and even Zhu Zhuqing was among these seven or eight people.

Unfortunately, very little information about Gu Xuan has been released on the mainland, especially regarding his hobbies and interests.

The only loophole he could find out was his personal maid.

In his haste, Dai Mubai could only gather these few beautiful girls.

Among them, Zhu Zhuqing's appearance is the most exquisite.

For Dai Mubai, as long as he can bring Gu Xuan back to the Star Luo Empire, he can inherit the throne without having to undergo any tests. In that case, this so-called fiancée will be dispensable.

After all, their so-called fiancées were nothing more than tools in their struggle for the throne.

This is also why Davis and Dai Tianya frequently glanced at Dai Mubai.

This guy is really bold, and he's definitely cuckolded.

At most, they only dream of sharing the Star Luo or the continent with Gu Xuan.

Dai Mubai actually sacrificed his fiancée.

Even Davis couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who stood like a statue among a group of girls.

Dai Mubai is truly stupid, and his heart is truly black.

Do you really think that Gu Xuan, who could achieve such cultivation in just two years, would be a lecherous person?

In his eyes, Dai Mubai's methods were nothing more than a source of ridicule.

Zhu Zhuqing, standing in the crowd, remained motionless, like a puppet.

Even though she was still young, Zhu Zhuqing's delicate features still made her stand out among the other girls.

No one feels good about being treated like merchandise, especially when that person is someone who is likely the most important person in their life.

She had imagined many possible endings for herself, the worst that could happen was death.

She never imagined that her so-called fiancé would be used as a bargaining chip to give to someone else.

Very ironic.
