Jiang Mian was unaware of Qian Renxue’s plans regarding the Heaven Dou Royal Family, but he was certain that once the Spirit Hunt plan began, she would also have to take action.
After taking down the Heaven Dou Empire, their reach would extend to the Star Luo Empire; as for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Bibi Dong likely didn't intend to destroy it just yet.
Once the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was annihilated, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, though forewarned, wouldn't pose a significant problem; Jiang Mian and the others' strength was more than enough to crush them.
As long as Bibi Dong had patience and waited three years, with a wave of Jiang Mian's hand, the Spirit Beast army would be fully deployed, and not to mention the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, even the Star Luo Empire would be annihilated in the blink of an eye.
“How many Titled Douluo are involved in this operation?” Jiang Mian asked curiously.
“From the Heaven Dou Royal Family, Snake Lance and Porcupinefish Douluo will assist that person in ascending to the throne,” Ghost Douluo said. “From our side, there’s Chrysanthemum Pass and me, as well as Spirit Swan Douluo and Devil Bear Douluo.”
“Four Titled Douluo facing Sword Douluo Chen Xin, do you have confidence?” It wasn't that Jiang Mian didn't trust the strength of these Titled Douluo, but compared to them, Chen Xin’s power was simply too formidable.
How could the world's number one offensive Spirit, the Seven Kill Sword, be so easily surpassed?
Back then, Chen Xin's father, with his Seven Kill Sword Spirit, dared to challenge Spirit Hall's High Priest Qian Daoliu alone.
“It shouldn’t be a big problem,” Ghost Douluo, who was well aware of Chen Xin's reputation, said. “Chrysanthemum Pass and my Two Extremes Stillness Domain are enough to control him. Bone Douluo Gu Rong has already been crippled by you, so Chen Xin alone will be hard-pressed.”
“Give him a dignified death,” Jiang Mian was somewhat reluctant to kill Sword Douluo Chen Xin after all, as he had never done anything out of line to Jiang Mian.
Even sending assassins was because Jiang Mian posed a threat to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Jiang Mian wouldn't hesitate to kill everyone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but only when it came to Sword Douluo Chen Xin, he felt conflicted.
“Don’t worry,” Gui Mei said, “we aren’t strong enough to humiliate Chen Xin.”
“If possible, spare his life,” Jiang Mian sighed, saying, “He still has great use for my future plans.”
“We’ll try our best,” Gui Mei nodded.
“What is the Supreme Pontiff’s plan?” Jiang Mian asked, “What do you need me to do?”
“You just need to intercept them on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School’s retreat path,” Ghost Douluo pulled out a map, pointing to a canyon in the west and saying, “We will attack from three sides, leaving only one escape route to the west. You bring your people and ambush them here.”
“Alright,” Jiang Mian said, “Besides Chen Xin, don't let anyone else die too painlessly.”
“I'm good at that kind of thing,” Gui Mei laughed heartily and vanished into Jiang Mian’s shadow.
“Nana, go tell Xie Yue and Yan to get ready,” Jiang Mian instructed. “This is an excellent opportunity for training; you won’t get another chance like this.”
“I understand.”
After Hu Liena left, Jiang Mian turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing, whose expression was as usual. He said calmly, “Zhuqing, if you don’t want to go, you can wait for us here.”
“Are you looking down on me?” Zhu Zhuqing smiled sweetly. She suddenly threw herself into Jiang Mian’s arms and whispered, “After the Heaven Dou Empire, will it be the Star Luo Empire?”
“Do you want the Star Luo Empire to remain safe and sound?” Jiang Mian hugged the little cat in his arms and chuckled, “I actually have a good idea. Do you want to try it?”
“How so?” Zhu Zhuqing looked up and asked.
“You become the Empress of the Star Luo Empire,” Jiang Mian’s smile was somewhat playful as he said, “This way, you can both preserve the Royal Family’s safety and spare the common people from suffering.”
“Really?” Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, her thoughts unknown. If she truly became the Empress and then merged with the Heaven Dou Empire to form a unified Empire, she might not necessarily be a sinner in the Star Luo Empire's history.
“I also want to open up the God Realm and the mortal world, so that all ambitious individuals can ascend to Godhood, and those who achieve Godhood in the mortal world can travel back and forth,” Jiang Mian said. “This way, even if Zhuqing becomes Empress, she can also become a Divinity, killing two birds with one stone.”
Moreover, it could effectively prevent future generations of the Empire from being incompetent and tyrannical.
“I don’t know yet,” Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. She truly didn’t know what to do.
Jiang Mian gently stroked Zhu Zhuqing’s beautiful hair. Since she couldn’t figure it out at the moment, she could take her time, as there was still plenty of time.
“Interesting,” Red King appeared beside Bear Monarch. His eyes seemed to burn with the flames of hell, as if he wanted to drag the entire Heaven Dou Empire into endless hell. “I truly can’t wait.”
“Don’t commit too much slaughter,” Jiang Mian reminded him. “Excessive slaughter will incur divine wrath, which is why I didn’t want you and Bear Monarch to directly attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.”
“Don’t worry,” Red King licked his lips, saying excitedly, “My hellfire specializes in judging their souls.”
“The little dog is getting arrogant again,” Bear Monarch mocked mercilessly, “Do you really enjoy bullying the weak that much?”
“When have you ever seen me bully the weak?” Red King rolled his eyes at Bear Monarch and said, “How could I not know that the strong should challenge the stronger? This is just a mission.”
“Hypocrite,” Bear Monarch said calmly, “I don’t have that many reasons. I just think that humans have hunted us Spirit Beasts for many years, so now it’s my turn to hunt them properly.”
Jiang Mian looked at the two powerful Spirit Beasts and didn't want to say anything more. As long as they were happy.
“The Heaven Dou Royal Family shouldn’t have many strong individuals guarding it,” Jiang Mian speculated. Besides the Grand General Ge Long, Snake Lance and Porcupinefish Douluo would be enough to take down the Royal Family.
In fact, a large part of the Heaven Dou Royal Family's power came from the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Now that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was destroyed and the Clear Sky Sect remained reclusive, the Heaven Dou Royal Family was like a paper tiger, completely harmless.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School only had one Sword Douluo, and he would have to face four Titled Douluo and two Limit Douluo. He would be completely outmatched.
“Bear Monarch, Red King, listen to my command then,” Jiang Mian’s eyes were ruthless. “We must cut the weeds and pull up the roots, or they will grow back with the spring breeze. Ning Fengzhi, don’t blame me; this is a disaster you brought upon yourselves.”
Who told Ning Fengzhi to offend someone as vengeful as Jiang Mian? If Ning Fengzhi had treated Jiang Mian sincerely during those six years at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Jiang Mian would be standing at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's gates today, protecting them.
“There’s no medicine for regret in this world,” Jiang Mian held Zhu Zhuqing’s hand and walked back into the room.
To be honest, he was quite looking forward to the Spirit Hunt plan three days later. Such an event was rare in a hundred years.
“Angel God, Rakshasa God,” Jiang Mian sat on the edge of the bed and muttered to himself, “Asura God, Sea God, what kind of God should I become after all?!”
“Could it be that I’m to ascend in broad daylight and create my own God Position?”
