Chapter 251: The Girls Discuss Matters
Hearing Tang San’s words, Dai Mubai sighed, a bitter taste in his mouth.
“Brother, you’ve been on the front lines, so you don’t know, Heaven Dou has already issued a proclamation, saying that Star Luo is unrighteous and ought to be destroyed.”
“They even ordered the confiscation of civilian wealth to help Heaven Dou launch the war. So, now, it’s no longer a problem that can be solved by Star Luo retreating.”
“And the reason why the scale of the war is getting bigger and bigger is not just because Spirit Hall has entered the fray.”
“It’s also because my Xingluo Emperor and the Heaven Dou Emperor are continuously escalating the situation. At the same time, Star Luo City has already sent an envoy to Heaven Dou, trying to see if they can mediate.”
“Just you wait, if this envoy returns without success, the scale of this war will become even larger, sweeping across the entire continent.”
“By then, the families and Sects within both Empires’ borders might even send people to appear on the battlefield.”
The more Dai Mubai spoke, the more bitter his tone became.
When he lived in Heaven Dou City before, he had met Heaven Dou Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. He seemed like a very gentle person.
How did he suddenly become so unyielding after becoming Emperor? Star Luo just wanted a bite of meat, not his life. Why go to such extremes!
After Dai Mubai finished speaking, Tang San’s eyelids also twitched. He didn’t care about a continental war, but he cared about his own life!
Before Spirit Hall entered the fray, he was considered a powerhouse on the front lines, virtually invincible.
But ever since the Spirit Master ranks were continuously escalated, his strength wasn’t quite enough, which is why he used the excuse of physical fatigue to run back from the front lines.
Was he tired? He was just afraid of encountering a strong opponent and being casually swatted to death like a roadside Douluo.
But now he could hide, but if the war really expanded, where could he hide?
Withdrawing from the front lines was out of the question. Not to mention Star Luo, Clear Sky Sect wouldn’t agree, after all, Clear Sky Sect’s emergence was instigated by him.
If he ran away and left Clear Sky Sect to suffer, it was definitely impossible to imagine.
So Tang San’s only hope now was for the Star Luo envoy to have some effect and persuade Xue Qinghe to end the war.
But less than half a month later, Tang San’s hope was completely shattered. News came from Star Luo City that the envoy had returned without success.
At the same time, the Xingluo Emperor also ordered the confiscation of civilian wealth, an increase in troops on the front lines, and the distribution of benefits to various Sects and families within the Empire, asking them to send people to assist.
For a time, the continent was in turmoil, and all forces interested in getting involved were stirring.
They realized that this time, both Empires were getting serious, and one side would surely have to withdraw from the stage.
At this moment, placing bets now would yield more later, but the forces on the continent were somewhat conflicted.
From a superficial strength perspective, Star Luo definitely had the advantage. Betting on Star Luo meant a greater chance of winning.
But Heaven Dou now had strong reinforcements. Spirit Hall, for some unknown reason, suddenly entered the fray. In this situation, the tide instantly turned, and Heaven Dou gained the upper hand.
However, they were unsure to what extent Spirit Hall would help Heaven Dou. If they suddenly withdrew halfway through the fight, that would be too much of a trap!
So, currently, all major forces were hesitant, unsure of which side to commit to.
In a small city on the Heaven Dou border.
“Lingling, what do you mean by these forces all hesitating? If they want to get involved and take advantage, then just choose a side. What’s there to be conflicted about?”
“At worst, if the battle turns unfavorable, just withdraw. Haven’t those Sects and families always done that before?!”
Dugu Yan picked up a pastry, put it in her mouth, and said while eating.
Previously, Star Luo and Heaven Dou had a small-scale battle. Except for Liu Erlong, everyone else participated and only returned after fighting for nearly a day.
Ye Lingling poured a cup of water for Dugu Yan beside her, and lightly chuckled:
“Eat slowly, don’t choke. You just asked why those forces are hesitant. That’s because once they enter, they can’t retreat.”
“This time is different from before. It’s a war of annihilation. Once they commit, there’s no room for regret.”
Ning Rongrong also poured herself a cup of water and gulped it down.
“Sister Lingling is right. No one can withdraw midway from this war, not even my father’s Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.”
“Because once you withdraw midway and let the other side win, you will definitely face retribution afterward.”
“By then, not to mention direct annihilation of the Sect, at least the people who appeared on the battlefield, and even their lineage, will be wiped out.”
Speaking of this, Ning Rongrong suddenly smiled, showing a nonchalant expression.
“Hehe, but none of this has anything to do with us. We are Spirit Hall people; we can withdraw whenever we want.”
“As a transcendent force on par with the two great Empires, even if we suddenly withdraw, no one would dare to settle accounts with Spirit Hall afterward.”
Hearing Ning Rongrong’s words, Hu Liena also laughed, shifting her body to lean against Ning Rongrong.
“Rongrong’s words are always so pleasant to hear, but unfortunately, your Holy Son isn’t here, so he won’t hear your flattery.”
As soon as Hu Liena finished speaking, everyone laughed. Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes, playfully swatting Hu Liena twice.
“Speaking of Bai Yu, I wonder how he’s doing. I heard the number of Title Douluo in Star Luo seems to have increased again.”
“Clear Sky Sect has sent another person, and there’s also an old ancestor from the Star Luo Empire, who is said to be a very strong Title Douluo.”
“By the way, Zhuqing, do you know how many Title Douluo the Star Luo Empire actually has?”
Shui Bing’er frowned slightly upon hearing Bai Yu’s name, her expression somewhat worried.
Although she had heard Zhu Zhuqing and the others say that Bai Yu’s strength was already sufficient to contend with a Super Douluo more than four years ago.
But hearing it was still not seeing it with her own eyes. Bai Yu, as a Spirit Douluo, participating in the battlefield of Title Douluo, truly made her feel uneasy.
Zhu Zhuqing patted Shui Bing’er’s shoulder, a smile gracing her pretty face.
“Don’t worry, Sister Bing’er. With Bai Yu’s strength, you don’t need to worry. When he was still a Spirit Saint, he could fight Clear Sky Douluo.”
“Now that he’s almost at the end of Spirit Douluo, I can hardly imagine how strong he is now.”
After talking about Bai Yu, Zhu Zhuqing’s brows also furrowed. She really wasn’t very clear about the matters of the Imperial Dai family.
After all, she hadn’t concerned herself with such matters when she was at home. If her elder sister, Zhu Zhuyun, were here, she might know.
“Before, I only heard that the Star Luo Empire had Title Douluo ancestors, but I don’t know exactly how many.”
Xiao Wu held a bunch of grapes, sitting on a chair with her legs crossed, and shook it towards Zhu Zhuqing.
“Who cares how many there are? Even if there are more, it’s impossible for them to be more than Spirit Hall.”
“Besides, we’re just here for experience. Maybe one day we’ll get tired of it and just run back. Let Bai Yu worry about the Title Douluo matters.”
