Chapter 85 Fear
"At the same time, send someone to contact Yu Xiaogang, offering him high-ranking positions and generous rewards, to persuade him to convince Liu Erlong to submit to Wuhun City."
"If Yu Xiaogang refuses, kidnap him and use him to blackmail Liu Erlong."
"Furthermore, notify the Wuhun Hall's branches in various locations to closely monitor the movements of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Report immediately if they discover any signs of troop movement."
Bibi Dong's voice was like a viper's hiss, filled with undisguised malice.
"I want to make Liu Erlong lose her way in anger and anxiety, leading her step by step into the trap I've laid."
"Once her strength is exhausted, I will wipe her and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan out of the world in one fell swoop!"
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
Ghostly Charm and Moon Pass bowed simultaneously, accepting the order, and turned to leave.
Inside the Papal Palace, only Bibi Dong's cold laughter echoed in the empty hall. In the imperial city of the Heaven Dou Empire, in Emperor Xue Ye's council hall, the atmosphere was equally heavy.
Emperor Xueye stood by the window, gazing in the direction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, his brow furrowed, his eyes filled with worry.
"Liu Erlong has broken through to level 77 Soul Saint, greatly increasing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's strength. This is both an opportunity and a threat to our Heaven Dou Empire," Emperor Xueye said solemnly.
The Prime Minister beside him bowed and said, "Your Majesty is absolutely right."
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has a long-standing feud with Spirit City. Now that Liu Erlong's strength has surged, they will undoubtedly be even more determined to oppose Spirit City."
"We can use this opportunity to establish a closer ties with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and jointly combat the threat from Spirit City."
"However, at the same time, we cannot ignore the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's ambitions," another minister added. "The Upper Three Sects are already powerful, and now that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is leading in strength, if they want to expand their power in the future, the Heaven Dou Empire will face immense pressure."
Emperor Xueye nodded, a resolute glint in his eyes: "Issue my decree to send an envoy with lavish gifts to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to congratulate Liu Erlong on her success in the examinations. At the same time, propose a military alliance to jointly counter the threats from Spirit City and the Star Luo Empire."
"Furthermore, closely monitor the movements of Blue Tyrant Academy, especially Liu Erlong's words and actions."
"If she shows any signs of expanding her influence, report immediately."
"Also, strengthen ties with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's support capabilities are unparalleled on the continent. If we can simultaneously win over both the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the strength of our Heavenly Dou Empire will be greatly enhanced, enough to cope with any unforeseen events."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The ministers bowed and accepted the orders, turning to leave. Emperor Xueye gazed out the window, pondering to himself.
"Liu Erlong, oh Liu Erlong, I hope you can be pragmatic and join hands with the Heavenly Dou Empire. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to reluctantly part with her."
In Dai Tianfeng's study in the Star Luo Empire's capital, the atmosphere was oppressive.
Dai Tianfeng sat behind his desk, toying with a jade thumb ring in his hand, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
"Liu Erlong… a level 77 Soul Saint…"
Dai Tianfeng murmured softly, his tone heavy. "The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is about to rise."
"Zhu Zhuyun has just evolved into the Netherworld White Tiger, and Liu Erlong has already received such a generous reward. This ranking list is getting more and more interesting."
The Imperial Guard Commander stood aside and whispered, "Your Majesty, Liu Erlong has a fiery temper, and now that her strength has greatly increased, she will inevitably become a thorn in the side of Spirit City."
"Could we take this opportunity to form an alliance with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to jointly fight against Spirit City?"
Dai Tianfeng shook his head, a cold smile playing on his lips. "An alliance? The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has always been arrogant, and now that Liu Erlong's strength has skyrocketed, they are even more disdainful of everyone. Do you think they would genuinely ally with us? It's just mutual exploitation."
"Moreover, Zhu Zhuyun has only recently risen to power, and our Star Luo Empire needs time to stabilize internally."
"If we ally with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan now, it will inevitably provoke a strong backlash from Spirit City, which will be detrimental to our development."
He paused, then continued, "Pass on my orders to closely monitor the movements of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Spirit City."
"Let them fight until they are both weakened, and we will sit back and watch. We will then intervene to clean up the mess when the time is right."
"Furthermore, strengthen surveillance of Zhu Zhuyun."
"Now that Liu Erlong's strength has greatly increased, Zhu Zhuyun's pressure will inevitably increase. She might be eager to prove herself and do something impulsive."
"We must prepare in advance to avoid her causing unnecessary trouble for the empire."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The Imperial Guard Commander bowed and accepted the order, then turned and left. Inside the study, Dai Tianfeng looked out the window, a greedy glint in his eyes.
"The Netherworld White Tiger, the mutated fire dragon, and the titled Douluo of Martial Soul City… the waters of this continent are getting increasingly murky. But it's the murky waters that make it easier to fish."
On the roof of Tianxing Academy, Li Tianyi, Chi Yang, Xuan Shuang, and others still stood there, gazing in the direction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, their expressions varied.
Chi Yang's dragon eyes flashed with a blazing light, his tone carrying a hint of battle intent.
"A level 77 Soul Saint, a mutated fire dragon, with a 400-year soul ring amplification—Liu Erlong's strength is indeed not to be underestimated."
"If we were to fight head-on, even I might not have the upper hand."
A hint of wariness flashed in Xuan Shuang's icy blue eyes: "Liu Erlong has a fiery temper, and now that her strength has greatly increased, she will inevitably become even more reckless."
"Blue Tyrant Academy isn't far from our Heavenly Path Academy. If she expands her influence in the future, she might clash with us."
Li Tianyi's double pupils flickered slightly, his tone calm: "No need to worry too much. Although Liu Erlong is powerful, her weakness is also obvious—she's too impulsive and easily swayed by her emotions."
"Moreover, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has many enemies. Martial Soul City will never sit idly by and watch her rise; they will definitely take action against her."
"We just need to observe the situation and accelerate our own strength improvement."
Li Tianyi paused, his gaze falling on Zhu Zhuqing, "Zhuqing, your Netherworld Cat Martial Soul is incompatible with Liu Erlong's Fire Dragon Martial Soul; her flames have a suppressive effect on you."
"In the coming days, you must focus on cultivating your ice-type soul skills to improve your defense and resistance. Only then will you have a fighting chance against Liu Erlong in the future."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, a determined glint in her eyes: "I understand."
"I will break through to the Soul Saint realm as soon as possible. She is nothing to fear; I will not let her become a threat to our Tianxing Academy."
Shui Bing'er stood to the side and said softly, "Liu Erlong's soul ring amplification greatly enhances the power of her soul skills. Perhaps we can study the characteristics of her soul skills and formulate countermeasures in advance."
"In addition, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan's Blue Lightning Domain is extremely domineering. We also need to improve the academy's defense system as soon as possible, just in case."
