Xu Mingxi was practicing under the star tree, but he heard the bells ringing for the sect to summon the elders. He was now a young sect master, and his status was equivalent to that of the elders, so it was only natural that he should go to the sect master hall.
When I entered, I saw the sect master sitting on a chair with a stern face. The elders were slowly arriving, but no one dared to speak. Even the first and second elders didn't want to be the first to speak.
When everyone had gathered, the sect leader waved his hand and the door to the sect leader's hall was immediately closed. The following conversation must not be heard by others.
"I went to Star Luo City a few days ago. I think you all know who I met. He asked me to go this time because he wants to cooperate with our Star Crown Sect on something."
The elders waited for a long time, but the sect leader did not say what the matter was. They all stared at the great elder. It was time for him to come forward.
"Master, just tell us what he wants to talk to us about."
"He invites us to join him in destroying the Black Tiger Sect."
The atmosphere became quiet. The ancestors of the Black Tiger Sect had a certain relationship with the White Tiger Dai family. The first master came from a branch of the Dai family, the Star Luo Imperial royal family, but was expelled from the family due to a mutation in his martial soul.
Then, through an unknown chance, he broke through to the Soul Douluo level, founded the Black Tiger Sect, and passed on his martial soul.
The inside story could no longer be traced, but it was a fact that the Black Tiger Sect often opposed the royal family. As for why the Dai family did not destroy it immediately.
According to the intelligence previously investigated by the Star Crown Sect, there are huge forces supporting the Black Tiger Sect from behind, and the Dai family seems to be worried about them and has not taken any action.
Now you can't stand it anymore? Xu Mingxi was flipping through the information in his hand, and suddenly some fragments flashed in his mind. Black Tiger Sect, this name seems familiar.
Wait, isn't this the sect that was added when Spirit Hall re-established the three upper sects and four lower sects? So the force supporting them behind the scenes is Spirit Hall? Did Emperor Xingluo know about this?
After listening to Xu Mingxi's speculations, the sect leader felt that this was indeed possible. Spirit Hall was the most powerful force besides the two empires.
Other than them, no one else supported the forces fighting against the two empires, not because they didn't dare, but because it was pointless.
Most sects on the Doulou Continent were family-centered and inherited the same martial spirit. This trait meant that the number of people in a sect was not large.
What's more, soul masters mostly rely on themselves in cultivating, with a few herbs and soul beast meat at most. When there are fewer people in a sect, there are fewer resources to consume, and soul farming and hunting are enough to cover their consumption.
In this case, why bother going to war with the two kingdoms? After all, the Xingguan Sect wouldn't do anything stupid that would waste its own strength. If something happened to the two kingdoms, would the Wuhun Hall let their sect go? The sect leader didn't believe it.
"Master, if the Spirit Hall really is behind the Black Tiger Sect, won't we be in trouble if we agree to its request?"
"Yes, Master? Even if my Star Crown Sect didn't agree to Dai Feng's request, he wouldn't dare to take action against us. Why bother?"
"Hmph, destroying the Black Tiger Sect is also a good thing for us. We can also get a share of the resources and spirit bones within."
"That's right, coupled with the 30,000 year old spirit bones that Dai Feng promised, the profit we gain from this trip will definitely not be small."
The master was annoyed by the elders' chatter. After asking them to keep the secret, he expelled them all from the master's hall, leaving only him and young master Xu Mingxi inside.
"Mingxi, what do you think about this matter?"
The sect master had already agreed to it in his heart. Given the current situation on the continent, as long as the Spirit Hall and the Dou Heaven Empire still existed, the Star Luo royal family would not take action against the powerful sects residing in Star Luo and cut off their own arms.
Now Dai Feng came to invite him personally and offered him a fairly high price to make his move, so it seemed that he had no reason to run away.
What's more, it was the royal family of the Luo Star Empire that destroyed the Black Tiger Sect. Using the family feud as an excuse, even Spirit Hall had no reason to seek revenge against the Black Tiger Sect, let alone involve the Star Crown Sect.
"Master, we were only hired to do this. With your presence, we have removed a great threat to the Dai family. As long as Dai Feng isn't confused, I'm sure he'll take responsibility for destroying the Black Tiger Sect."
In Xu Mingxi's opinion, just kill him directly. At this stage, the Spirit Hall didn't dare risk the disapproval of the mainland and openly supported the Black Tiger Sect. By the time they truly revealed their ambitions, the Star Crown Sect would have already grown.
The Star Crown Sect did not want to lose a single disciple in this war. The next day, the sect leader brought two elders with him. The only one who was still young was Xu Mingguang. He would serve as the external representative of the Star Crown Sect's younger generation and appear in the eyes of many forces.
At the same time, inside Star Luo City Palace, Dai Feng sat on a chair with a chess piece in his hand, which fell on the chessboard in front of him. Opposite him sat a beautiful woman who was beautifully dressed yet still charming.
"Your Highness, you finally got what you wanted by pulling out the thorn of the Black Tiger Sect."
"After getting rid of the Black Tiger Sect, there is the Black Lion Sect next. These sects are like the blue silver grass by the roadside, which we have to cut down over and over again."
"Your Majesty has done well enough, but what is the origin of this Star Crown Sect? They have the Douluo Degree, but I've never heard of them."
"They are just wolves from the southwest. Sooner or later, we'll have to face them."
Dai Feng still felt a little depressed when thinking of the 30,000-year-old soul bone he took, but when thinking of the good news the queen told him today, he involuntarily grinned.
Now I have a son, let's call him Weiss. He will definitely succeed in inheriting my great cause and lead the Luo Star Empire to conquer Heaven Dou.
The competition among the princes of the Star Luo Empire was unfair. The younger a person was born, the more advantages he had. As long as the eldest prince was talented enough, he would basically become the crown prince. Dai Feng was full of hope for his first son.
Ten days later, the sect leader returned to the sect with nearly half of the Black Tiger Sect's resources and the soul bones given by Dai Feng.
The news of the Black Tiger Sect's destruction caused an uproar on the continent. The powerful and knowledgeable forces also learned that there was a Titled Douluo in the southwestern region of the Luo Star Empire.
Qianxunji walked into the secret room with a dark look in his eyes, venting his sorrow and anger.
Star Luo Empire, Star Crown Sect, how dare they, how dare they destroy my good deeds.
Qian Daoliu, who was far away in the Hall of Elders, seemed to sense something. He sighed deeply, closed his eyes, and ignored everything that happened in the Spirit Hall.
However, news circulated from the Spirit Hall that a new batch of porcelain had been replaced in the Palace of Popes. No one knew who had provoked this narrow-minded Pope anymore.
