Chapter 223: Invitation
In the evening, Wang Teng, Qian Renxue, Wang Chengkun, and Li Chan returned to Sky City.
However, Qian Renxue was not staying in Sky City; she was only there to clear a dungeon, and after finishing, she would return to Spirit City.
After all, she was about to get married, so it wouldn't be appropriate for her to move into Sky City beforehand.
"Father, Mother, you should move into Sky City before the wedding begins. After all, once the wedding is over and everyone knows your son married Xue'er, if you continue to live in Heaven Dou City, Emperor Xue Ye won't be able to sleep a wink."
Wang Teng's words were not wrong. If Emperor Xue Ye knew that Wang Chengkun's son was the City Lord of Sky City and had also formed an alliance with Spirit Hall through marriage, he would indeed not be able to sleep.
Wouldn't having two enemy Titled Douluo-level experts living in Heaven Dou City be a major annoyance? What if they launched a sneak attack? Wouldn't their lives be at risk?
"That's true!"
After some thought, Wang Chengkun nodded. Even if Emperor Xue Ye was magnanimous, he couldn't allow Titled Douluo from enemy forces to stay in Heaven Dou City for long.
In fact, there was an agreement on the continent that if Titled Douluo from other forces entered Heaven Dou City, they needed to report to the Heaven Dou Empire, otherwise they could be considered invaders.
Of course, that's what was said, but if Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo truly came to Heaven Dou City, they wouldn't inform the Heaven Dou Empire.
Moreover, Serpent Dragon and Ci Xue, two Titled Douluo, had been lurking in Heaven Dou City for so many years without being discovered, which showed that the Heaven Dou Empire simply couldn't defend against the methods of Titled Douluo.
Subsequently, Wang Chengkun and Li Chan returned to Heaven Dou City to prepare for their move.
Of course, they wouldn't need to live in Sky City for too long; before long, the entire Heaven Dou Empire would belong to Wang Teng.
After seeing the two off, Wang Teng took Qian Renxue to clear the daily dungeon.
During this dungeon trip, Wang Teng let Qian Renxue take the lead with the Twenty-Four Winged Seraph.
With the divine artifact Light Flame Sword - Sunfire Judgement in hand, Qian Renxue's strength was off the charts, and the Twenty-Four Winged Seraph's power was even stronger than when Wang Teng led it.
After all, Wang Teng's Spirit Ability could not be used with divine artifacts, while Qian Renxue's various Spirit Ability could be combined with divine artifacts to produce stronger output.
The next day, Wang Teng was writing wedding invitations in the City Lord's mansion.
His own wedding naturally required guests, and the guests were the forces on the continent that had Titled Douluo in charge. As for those without Titled Douluo, they were ignored; if they didn't even have a Titled Douluo, Wang Teng didn't bother with them.
Counting them, Wang Teng found that there didn't seem to be many forces on the continent with Titled Douluo in charge.
All Titled Douluo belonging to Spirit Hall, if available, must come, no questions asked. And since Spirit Hall was Qian Renxue's maternal family, Qian Daoliu would naturally notify them without Wang Teng needing to say anything.
Among the current Upper Three Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had two Titled Douluo, and they were also subordinates of Sky City, so they must be invited.
Jade Yuanzhen, the Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, counted as one. Topaz Hee, the Sect Master of the Sacred Dragon Sect, had also advanced to Titled Douluo, so he also counted as one.
Topaz Hee was quite lucky. When Spirit City encountered the beast tide last time, he killed many Spirit Beast. Even if the drop rate for Spirit Bone was only one in a thousand, or even lower, he still obtained quite a few Spirit Bone, including many high-grade ones.
Bibi Dong awarded him one, which directly allowed Topaz Hee to break through from Spirit Douluo Level 89 to Titled Douluo, with the title Sacred Dragon.
Similarly, Hu Yan Zhen of the Elephant Armored Academy, that loyal lackey, was also awarded a Spirit Bone by Bibi Dong. He was now also a Titled Douluo, with the title Heavenly Elephant, so he also counted.
The Star Luo Empire Royal Family goes without saying; there was more than one Titled Douluo in the Royal Family, but Wang Teng estimated that Emperor Emperor Dai Tianli himself probably wouldn't come.
The Heaven Dou Empire Royal Family also had one Titled Douluo, so Wang Teng counted him. Even if the Royal Family didn't have a Titled Douluo, they still had to be invited because they were one of only two Empires on the continent.
Among the unattached individuals who had not truly joined other forces, the only one Wang Teng knew of was Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, who also counted.
As for Slaughter City, although it also had Titled Douluo, Wang Teng decided against it.
Oh, and Sea God Island also counted. It would be best to invite Poseidon to make Qian Daoliu happy. However, inviting that homebody would be quite difficult; inviting one of the Seven Sacred Pillars might be more feasible.
In total, there were nine. Wang Teng would pick up his bride from Spirit City himself, and Dugu Bo was in Heaven Dou City, on the way with the Heaven Dou Royal Family, so only seven people needed to be dispatched.
Moreover, Wang Teng planned to hold the wedding in Sky City, using a teleportation token to open a spatial channel for guests to arrive.
Subsequently, Wang Teng summoned Natya and the others to the City Lord's mansion.
"Lord City Lord!"
"Yes, on the first day of next month, I will be holding a joyous event. You are to send out these invitations now."
"Natya, you go to the Heaven Dou Empire and deliver the invitations to Dugu Bo and Emperor Xue Ye. Make sure that Titled Douluo of the Heaven Dou Royal Family attends.
Smilla, you go to the Star Luo Empire and give the invitation to the Star Luo Emperor. Tell him to send a Titled Douluo over then.
Panic, you go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Make sure Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo attend.
Paris, you go to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and deliver the invitation to Sect Master Jade Yuanzhen.
Monica, you go to the Sacred Dragon Sect. Ying Maru, you go to the Elephant Armored Academy.
Binosse, Klarer, you two go to Sea God Island and deliver the invitation to High Priest Poseidon. Preferably, have her attend.
Satai, Lois, you two are free for now. You'll come with me to Spirit City to pick up the bride!"
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison.
"Very good. Deliver these invitations now!"
Wang Teng handed the previously written invitations to Natya and the others.
Soon, his subordinates dispersed.
From now on, Sky City would begin its decorations. There wasn't much time until the first day of next month, and a wedding, after all, had to be lively and festive.
Sky City had specialized teleportation tokens recording spatial nodes near the headquarters of various forces on the continent, so Natya and the others were very fast.
Heaven Dou City, Natya's Spirit of War Duke's residence.
Although Natya rarely stayed there, Emperor Xue Ye had not revoked it. It didn't cost much anyway, and it was considered a way to win over this War Spirit Douluo.
A spatial channel appeared in a room, and Natya walked out.
"Greetings, Mianxia Natya!"
Before long, Natya was discovered by the servants in the mansion.
"Hmm."
Natya nodded indifferently and headed directly to Dugu Bo's residence.
As a registered guest elder of the Heaven Dou Royal Family, Dugu Bo's residence also appeared very grand.
Although Dugu Bo's one-on-one combat strength was not strong, his effectiveness on a large-scale battlefield was even greater than that of a master like Natya.
Outside Dugu Bo's residence, Natya sensed that Dugu Bo was indeed home.
"Greetings, Mianxia Natya, Spirit of War."
Upon seeing Natya, the gatekeepers immediately stepped forward to salute.
"I'm looking for Dugu Bo."
"Mianxia, please come in!"
The gatekeepers promptly invited Natya inside.
If Natya were not a Titled Douluo, then, unfortunately, she would have to wait at the entrance, and whether she could enter would depend on whether Poison Douluo Mianxia was willing to see her.
However, since Natya was a Titled Douluo, the gatekeepers naturally dared not make her wait outside.
Soon after Natya was invited into the residence, Dugu Bo arrived.
"War Spirit Douluo, long time no see, I apologize for not coming out to greet you!"
Dugu Bo knew that Natya was powerful, a prominent figure, and backed by Sky City, so he dared not offend her. As soon as his subordinate reported Natya's visit, he immediately rushed over.
"Old Poison, on the first day of next month, Sky City will be holding a wedding. My Lord City Lord is getting married, and I hope you can attend."
Saying that, Natya handed the invitation to Dugu Bo.
"Oh? The City Lord of Sky City is getting married? I, this old man, will certainly send a congratulatory gift! I just don't know where Sky City is?"
Dugu Bo dared not refuse Sky City's invitation, nor did he want to. He just wondered how he would get there. He couldn't find the way!
"My Sky City has a teleportation array. On the morning of that day, just go to the entrance of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace."
"Teleportation array?"
Dugu Bo was a bit confused. What was that?
"You'll know then."
"Alright, this old man will definitely go!"
"I'm still busy delivering invitations, so I'll take my leave now."
Natya didn't linger, leaving Dugu Bo's residence directly and heading to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
As a registered guest elder of the Heaven Dou Royal Family, the Heaven Dou Imperial Guard guarding the palace entrance naturally dared not stop Natya. However, they immediately reported to Emperor Xue Ye.
It was only because Natya walked in that her speed was not faster than the messenger's!
When Natya found Emperor Xue Ye, Emperor Xue Ye was already waiting.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"May I know why War Spirit Douluo seeks me?"
"On the first day of next month, my Sky City City Lord will be getting married, and we invite the Titled Douluo of the Royal Family to attend! This is the invitation."
Natya handed over the invitation.
"The City Lord of Sky City is getting married? And specifically asks for my Imperial Uncle to go?"
Emperor Xue Ye raised his eyebrows. This was not important to the Heaven Dou Empire; what was important was that the invited guest was the Royal Family's only Titled Douluo.
If anything were to happen to his Imperial Uncle, wouldn't the Heaven Dou Empire be in turmoil? And it just so happened that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe had gone missing earlier, which gave Emperor Xue Ye a huge headache.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. Sky City will definitely ensure the safety of its guests."
Seeing Emperor Xue Ye's dilemma, Natya gave her word.
Once in Sky City, even if one encountered an enemy, fighting was not allowed, otherwise Sky City would be humiliated.
"Since that's the case, I will certainly send a congratulatory gift."
Emperor Xue Ye nodded. After all, with Sky City hosting, the Heaven Dou Empire could not easily refuse, or rather, had no right to refuse. During the beast tide incident in Spirit City last time, Sky City suddenly produced ten Titled Douluo, and his Heaven Dou Empire could not afford to provoke them.
Moreover, since Sky City was holding a wedding this time, it certainly wasn't a trap; otherwise, wouldn't it be infuriating? Furthermore, if Sky City truly wanted to use force, the Heaven Dou Empire couldn't stop them!
Besides, if a Titled Douluo personally delivered an invitation, not going would be disrespectful, wouldn't it?
