Ps: Thank you all readers for your monthly tickets.

It's the beginning of the month, dear readers, please vote for your monthly tickets.

In 2024, I wish all my readers all their wishes come true and everything goes smoothly.

"I have an impression of this kid Dai Mubai. Didn't he become a eunuch?" Demon Bear Douluo said suspiciously.

When can the eunuch inherit the throne? Without waiting for Han Yu to explain, Bibi Dong smiled and said, "Elder Demon Bear, since the Eighth Priest said so, he must have made plans. We should not ask too much about the details."

That's right, my Canaan City left real estate to the Davis couple. Han Yu smiled in his heart.

Tang San and others go to the Xing Luo Empire, and they will soon understand that supporting Dai Mubai is their wisest choice.

This was Han Yu's conspiracy. Once they chose Dai Mubai, they would be trapped. The only way to break it was for Tang San and Yu Xiaogang to be willing to disappear in the crowd and live in the sewers from now on.

However, there are some things that they don't have to do just because they don't want to do them. If they don't do it, Ning Fengzhi will definitely drag them into it.

It goes without saying which is easier: helping Kundela launch a coup and seize the throne of the Tiandou Empire, or letting Dai Mubai, the original heir to the throne, ascend the throne.

Han Yu nodded slightly, agreeing with Bibi Dong's words.

Next, he winked at Bibi Dong, who understood and ended the meeting immediately, leaving only Jue and Gui.

After the other elders left, Han Yu said, "Your Holiness, the soul beast you need has been identified. It is in the Lake of Life in the center of the Star Dou Great Forest."

At this time, the beasts in the Xingdou Great Forest should still be in a dormant state, or they are absorbing the cultivation of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. Bibi Dong went to hunt Daming and Erming, and there was a high probability that she would not disturb them.

This can be considered as repaying the favor of the Spirit Hall for informing him of the news of the 100,000-year soul beast. He also did a favor by the way.

Speaking of which, Han Yu recalled that he was desperate at that time. Palace Master Orto probably didn't take it seriously and just agreed casually. But he didn't expect that a hundred thousand year old spirit beast really appeared in the Xingdou Great Forest, and it became known to everyone.

Han Yu knew that Bibi Dong did not go to the Xingdou Great Forest at that time. For her who needed a spirit ring, although the spirit ring of the 100,000-year-old Fire Cloud Crane did not match her martial spirit attributes, it was after all a genuine 100,000-year-old spirit beast.

At that time, she might have been delayed by something, or because of Qian Daoliu's obstruction, she ended up snatching the Fire Cloud Crane by herself.

Han Yu now has two vacant soul bones, but in Han Yu's opinion, Da Ming and Er Ming's soul bones are not suitable as his torso bones and head soul bones.

Moreover, Han Yu already had a plan in mind for the soul beast that was missing these two soul bones.

"Okay, now that we have confirmed the whereabouts of the beast, Guimei and Yueguan, you take your men and set off first, I will follow soon." Bibi Dong arranged.

There are many things that need to be dealt with inside the Spirit Hall, and Bibi Dong can't just leave like that. She has to arrange things for after she leaves.

Bibi Dong will definitely bring Hu Liena and the other two with her on this soul hunting trip. Without Tang Yin from the City of Slaughter, there is a high probability that there will be no accidents in this operation.

Since Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong reconciled, Hu Liena's situation in the Spirit Hall has become quite delicate. Especially after Qian Renxue returned to the Spirit Hall, her position became even more precarious. Bibi Dong took her out, naturally with the intention of letting her make meritorious deeds to gain a firm foothold.

A leftover woman (saint) who occupies a large amount of resources in the Spirit Hall and has not made any contribution will indeed be targeted by people with ulterior motives.

After Ju Gui and the others left, Han Yu added: "I have explored the interior of the Xingdou Great Forest. There should still be several hundred thousand year old soul beasts, and there are also some that are beyond a hundred thousand years old. Your Holiness, please be careful."

After saying that, Han Yu hung up the phone.

Han Yu had already compiled the information about soul beasts beyond the 100,000-year level into a book and distributed it to the high-level officials of the Spirit Hall. Bibi Dong was not too surprised by this.

The Xingdou Great Forest is the largest soul beast forest in Douluo Continent, and it has existed almost since the beginning of historical records of Douluo Continent.

Bibi Dong looked at the empty Pope's Palace with a hint of a smile on her face.

She slowly took off the nine-curve purple gold crown on her head, revealing the pitch-black sickle mark on her forehead.

This is not the mark of Rakshasa, but comes from another deity.

Bibi Dong is the only soul master with twin spirits in Douluo Continent, and her second spirit has almost been cultivated to perfection. Such talent is enough to win the favor of other gods.

…

On the third day after the meeting, Spirit Hall issued a joint statement with the Tiandou Empire through the Spirit Daily.

The statement clearly mentioned that the Tiandou Empire would hand over all the land it had recovered to the Spirit Hall for development.

Once the news that Spirit Hall would establish refugee shelters on these lands was announced, it quickly gained the support of countless civilians.

In the court of the Tiandou Empire, after learning of the arrangements made by the Spirit Hall, Xue Qinghe quickly handled the matter.

"Your Majesty is kindhearted and cannot bear to see the people displaced. This is truly a righteous act, and I admire you very much."

This move not only solved the current predicament of the Tiandou Empire, but also turned the tables on the Xingluo Empire. The ministers of the Tiandou Empire finally felt proud.

As for what the Spirit Hall does on these lands, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that the lands still belong to the Tiandou Empire; dragging the Spirit Hall into the water is completely a way of getting something for nothing.

It is unlikely that the Xingluo Empire would risk offending the Spirit Hall and the people of the world by sending troops to Tiandou.

This decision was naturally not Xue Qinghe's idea. He was just pretending. He summoned the Platinum Bishop Magor of the Wuhun Temple to the palace two days ago. Nominally, it was to discuss state affairs, but in reality, Magor conveyed the intention of the Pope's Palace to him and told Xue Qinghe how to implement it.

After all, what do you expect a substitute with a not-so-smart brain to accomplish? "I just used a little trick." Xue Qinghe smiled confidently.

The ministers were confused, but looking back now, it seemed that Xue Qinghe had no intention of stationing troops on the border from the beginning, which was absolutely correct.

The army would need a huge amount of food and grass to march, and the finances of the Tiandou Empire were not rich. Gathering the army at the border and then retreating would undoubtedly be a waste of money and manpower.

"Your Majesty's foresight is something I admire greatly."

Compared to the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere in the court of the Tiandou Empire, the court of the Xingluo Empire was much more depressing.

"Father, we have roughly estimated Xue Qinghe's ability. We do not rule out the possibility that he has the guidance of an expert. But if he came up with it on his own, it proves that he is extremely cunning and may have the potential to be an emperor." Davis quickly diverted the conflict.

Dai Tianfeng's rash deployment of troops was a foolish move. If he fought with the Spirit Hall again, he would definitely be labeled a foolish ruler.

Davis's attempt to shift the blame to Xue Qinghe was undoubtedly a way for Dai Tianfeng to save face.

The head of the Zhu family quickly agreed: "Your Majesty, Xue Qinghe was able to successfully seize the throne through a palace coup, which proves that this person is definitely not a simple person. We have underestimated his ability, please forgive us, Your Majesty."

Dai Tianfeng was an iron-blooded emperor after all, and some of his ministers, even if they were dissatisfied with him, did not dare to express it. Following the words of the head of the Zhu family, all the ministers pleaded guilty.

Dai Tianfeng frowned.

The sudden end of the Spirit Hall caught him off guard. The army that was gathered in the border town now looked like a group of clowns in a circus.

"Everyone, please tell me what we should do next. I don't think this was Xue Qinghe's idea. When the Tiandou Palace was in turmoil, our scouts brought back intelligence that Xue Qinghe might have secretly defected to the Spirit Hall. So it's not surprising that the Spirit Hall personally took action for him."

The Spirit Hall would definitely not come forward for nothing. Dai Tianfeng believed that Xue Qinghe must have betrayed the interests of the Tiandou Empire. After all, it is not painful for a grandson to sell his grandfather's land.

As the Crown Prince of Xingluo and the future heir to the throne, Davis must stand up at this moment and come up with a suitable proposal to consolidate his position.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Before going to court, he had discussed it with Zhu Zhuyun and received guidance from the head of the Zhu family.

At this moment, he said confidently: "Father, isn't the Spirit Hall under the name of taking in refugees? We in the Xing Luo Empire don't support idle people. Since the Spirit Hall is willing to accept refugees from our Xing Luo Empire, then give them the money."

"Father, I have calculated that the Empire spends tens of millions of gold soul coins every year to provide shelter and food for these refugees. Since the Spirit Hall is so generous, let's send these people away. The tens of millions of gold soul coins saved every year are enough to equip tens of thousands of troops with sophisticated equipment."

In the eyes of the nobles, the refugees were the vampires and cancer of the empire. If it were not for the concern about harming the harmony of the world, the iron-blooded rule of the Xing Luo Empire would have likely executed these people or even sent them into exile to serve as advance cannon fodder for the army.

As soon as Davis finished speaking, he immediately received the approval of all the ministers.

"Your Majesty, how could the Spirit Hall be so kind? It is true that they are doing this in the name of charity, but I do not think that they will pay for the reconstruction of the city and the sheltering of refugees. Since it is the Heaven Dou Empire that needs their help, it is likely that the money will be paid by the Heaven Dou Empire."

"If we send more people over, it will certainly consume the finances of the Tiandou Empire. As the two grow, the Tiandou Empire will no longer be able to compete with us within ten years. By then, the unification of the continent will be just around the corner, and your majesty's great achievements will be praised by the world for thousands of years."

In fact, the Spirit Hall did not ask for money from the Tiandou Empire this time. In the past, the Spirit Hall did ask for money from the two empires for the monthly subsidies for spirit masters. But as the reform of the Spirit Hall was completed, the Spirit Hall made a lot of money. In order to avoid internal corruption, it simply provided the full amount of subsidies for spirit masters.

Moreover, the Wuhun Tickets had been issued for several years, and the accumulated wealth had already reached an exaggerated figure.

After all, not everyone wins the prize every time, and even if they do, the prize money is fixed. The sales volume of each issue is more than tens of thousands of gold soul coins.

In the past, the Spirit Hall did not have the opportunity to build livelihood projects in the two empires. At most, they would build a bridge or a road, which did not cost much.

The process of building a city is not something that can be completed overnight, but a long-term gradual process. Although the Spirit Hall cannot come up with so much money at once, the money of the Spirit Hall can be replenished over time.

After a brief thought, Dai Tianfeng agreed to Davis' proposal.

But he never imagined that these refugees he expelled would become a sharp blade piercing the Star Luo Empire in the future.

…

After leaving the Tiandou Empire, Tang San and his companions gradually became bolder.

Knowing that the Xing Luo Empire was not looking for them, they stopped being shy and drove their carriages on the official road in a swaggering manner.

"Teacher, what's going on? We saw a lot of 'prisoners' being escorted along the way. Is there unrest in the Xing Luo Empire?" Tang San asked puzzled.

On the official road, one could often see officers and soldiers escorting ragged prisoners tied with ropes.

The Spirit Hall widely publicized the withdrawal of the Star Luo Empire, and Tang San and others also learned about the ceasefire by buying the Spirit Daily along the way.

Ning Fengzhi finally felt relieved. At least, as long as the war didn't start, he still had a chance to turn things around.

Yu Xiaogang couldn't answer Tang San's question either. So Tang San got off the carriage and asked Ning Fengzhi the same question.

Ning Fengzhi lifted the car curtain, shook his head and said, "Xiao San, I don't know about this matter either. But if there was a turmoil in the Xing Luo Empire, the Spirit Hall would definitely publicize it. The Spirit Daily we bought along the way did not report it. I think it should not be what you guessed. As for the identities of those people, why should we care."

Gu Rong had already sensed that these "prisoners" were skinny, ragged, and had calluses on their palms. Ning Fengzhi didn't care about the life or death of these low-level trash.

Tang San put away his curiosity and asked, "Uncle Ning, do you have a map of the entire continent?"

He never forgot about searching for the land of gods.

After all, as the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi had an extraordinary status during his peak period, so it was not difficult for him to obtain the map of the continent.

Moreover, through Yu Tianheng's words, he learned that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family had a map of the entire continent. However, only the clan leader and elders were qualified to view it.

The original status of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was far superior to that of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family, and Ning Fengzhi must have the same map in his hands.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect was destroyed, and Ning Fengzhi had long lost his former arrogance. At this moment, if he asked for a loan, Ning Fengzhi might agree. Of course, this was also the intention of a certain master.

"Xiao San, what do you want the map for?" Ning Fengzhi was puzzled.

It was because of this map that they did not get lost along the way. Moreover, the value of the map was extremely great.

Seeing that the other party did not refuse immediately, Tang San felt that there was a chance, "Uncle Ning, we are still half a month away from our destination. I want to study the terrain of the continent with my teacher on the way. We have to fight back to the Heaven Dou Empire and take revenge on the Spirit Hall, so we must choose a good place for the decisive battle."

There are many battles in history where the outnumbered side won against the larger side by taking advantage of terrain.

But it is a bit too early to consider this issue now.
