Dai Mubai was not idle, as he alone was responsible for handling the affairs of the entire empire. Tang San followed him and assisted him in handling these trivial matters.
"Xiao San, this is too much." Dai Mubai was used to being idle, and he was really overwhelmed by having to handle so many official duties at once.
Just after dealing with a few difficult problems, he wants to quit.
Although Tang San needed a puppet emperor, he and Dai Mubai were both undergoing the Rakshasa Divine Test. If he and Dai Mubai were delayed in their training, it would be more trouble than gain.
"Mu Bai, perhaps you can form a team dedicated to handling state affairs, so that you can spend a large part of your time on cultivation." Tang San suggested.
You know, Dai Tianfeng's talent is not weak. If he hadn't been delayed in his cultivation by state affairs, his strength would not be at least level 93.
Of course, the iron-blooded rule of the Xingluo Empire means that the emperor has to deal with many things personally, unlike Xue Qinghe who can pass things on to other people.
As for the candidate to assist in handling state affairs, the first person Tang San thought of was Yu Xiaogang. Unfortunately, he was still thousands of miles away in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Besides, he had to deal with some matters of the Shrek Seven Devils, so he probably had no time to take care of it.
In the end, Tang San decided to ask the Haotian Sect to send some people.
As they were thinking about this, the message from Rakshasa God appeared in their minds.
"Rakshasa Sixth Test (Top Sixth Test), passed the test, reward."
"The seventh Rakshasa test, build a force of your own and remove all obstacles. The test lasts for one year. Upon completion of the test, you will be rewarded with a 20% Rakshasa affinity and a level increase in soul power. If you fail the test, you will die!"
Hearing the divine test message in his mind, Tang San's eyes suddenly lit up.
It has always been his wish to establish the Tang Sect in this alien world. Originally, he thought that his wish would never come true, but he did not expect that this divine test would actually advance his plan to establish the Tang Sect.
However, to establish a sect, one must not only have top-notch combat power, but also the number of grassroots disciples and the combat power of mid-level soul masters must be considered.
He couldn't just transfer some people from the Haotian Sect and let all these disciples belong to the Tang Sect, right? Even if Tang Xiao agreed, the three elders of the Haotian Sect would probably strongly oppose it.
Tang San quickly thought of the disciples of the Power Clan. In terms of population size, the Power Clan had several hundred people. After merging them all into the Tang Sect, the size of the Tang Sect had already reached the standard of a sect. Moreover, the disciples of the Power Clan were all blacksmiths, and they had an innate advantage in forging Tang Sect hidden weapons.
But it is not enough to have only blacksmiths, the sect's disciples must be diversified. Otherwise, in a few years, the Tang Sect will become the only one in power. And the technology provided by Tang San will become their patent.
Where should we find the remaining people?
"Xiao San, I can support you unconditionally. I can transfer some money from the Star Luo Empire to you for the sect's start-up capital." Dai Mubai's divine test was to assist Tang San in building a force, so naturally he had to show his courtesy.
Tang San said in a deep voice: "The sect I want to build is called Tang Sect. It can be built on the basis of the Power Clan, but in this way, Tang Sect is just the Power Clan with a different name. Therefore, I also need to incorporate some other forces."
There are many small forces in the Xingluo Empire, but the strongest of those small forces are usually only Soul Emperors or Soul Saints, which Tang San doesn't think highly of.
Dai Mubai quickly closed the door of the imperial study and whispered, "Xiao San, I just did a rough calculation. If I fulfill the benefits I promised to Sect Master Tang, the benefits I can give to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will be greatly reduced."
"In the past, we stayed in the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, and Sect Master Ning did us a favor. But the national conditions of the Xingluo Empire are such that many profitable projects are controlled by those great nobles. Moreover, they have deep nepotism among themselves. If I forcibly take it back, I'm afraid it will cause an earthquake in the court. This is not in our current interests."
"But if I fail to fulfill Sect Master Ning's promise, I'm afraid everyone in the world will stab me in the back."
Dai Mubai's words were not groundless. Tang San had already discovered this problem when he was clearing the empire's assets. But his original idea was to let the Haotian Sect cede some interests first. As long as he supported them with the empire's policies, it would not be difficult to help them earn the rewards they deserved.
It just takes some time in the middle.
Now, combined with the matter of the Divine Test, Tang San had a different opinion, "Mu Bai, if we kick out the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and recruit their disciples, what do you think our success rate is?"
Even if Oscar and Ning Rongrong were their classmates, so what? They were not children anymore. The adult world was all about interests. If he could become a god right away, he could kill Dai Mubai.
"Xiao San, I heard it."
Tang Xiao's hearty laughter came from outside the door.
He had been here for a while, and when he heard Dai Mubai's words, he thought Dai Mubai was going to go back on his word, so he deliberately listened outside the door for a while. Unexpectedly, Tang San's thoughts coincided with his.
The Qibao Liuli Sect was originally an auxiliary sect. When the Haotian Sect closed down, they controlled a large amount of wealth in the Tiandou Empire. Moreover, Ning Fengzhi liked to show off his presence. When major events happened in the Tiandou Empire, Ning Fengzhi was almost everywhere.
As an auxiliary spirit master, how can he jump up and down like this? At the beginning, the Haotian Sect needed to plan for the interests of many parties, so the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect naturally had a certain necessity.
Now it was the harvest season, how could they let the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect take away the benefits for nothing? Besides, he really didn't like Ning Fengzhi.
Tang San did not shy away from Tang Xiao and openly admitted his thoughts.
Tang Xiao did not rush to answer, but asked: "Xiao San, the rapid improvement of your and His Majesty's strength is due to the divine test?"
Tang San was shocked, but the man in front of him was his uncle, so how could he harm him? If it was someone else, he would probably fight with Dai Mubai at this moment.
"Uncle, that's true. However, now I need to establish a force of my own in order to complete the latest assessment."
Hearing this, Tang Xiao sighed and said, "Are you very surprised that I know about the divine test? Back then, your great-grandfather, who was also your father's and my grandfather, also passed the divine test."
"You also know what happened afterwards. After Grandfather passed the Divine Test, he disappeared from the continent. We in the Haotian Sect sent many people to look for him, but to no avail. Perhaps, Grandfather had already taken that step and decided not to care about the affairs of the continent anymore. Or, he failed the Divine Test and died."
"Since this is your divine test, my Haotian Sect will fully support you. Just now you mentioned attacking the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, and the three elders and I will help you."
If it weren't for the divine test, Tang Xiao would definitely oppose Tang San's establishment of his own power. You know, he trained Tang San as the successor of the Haotian Sect, so how could he allow him to establish his own power?
As for the Tang Sect, after Tang San succeeds to the position of the Master of Haotian Sect in the future, whether it will be merged into Haotian Sect or become a subsidiary sect of Haotian Sect will all depend on Tang San's words.
"Don't worry, Xiaosan. I will set up a trap and let the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect sit idly by and charge him with treason. Then I will issue a nationwide wanted notice for him in the name of the empire." Dai Mubai said confidently.
Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong are already wanted by the entire Tiandou Empire. If they are also wanted by the entire Xingluo Empire, there will be no place for them in this world.
Of course, meeting the above conditions is not enough. Only after killing Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong will they feel at ease.
"By the way, uncle, how much do you know about the Sea God Island?" Tang San suddenly asked.
Since Poseidon and the others have formed an alliance with them, it would seem better for them to participate in the plan to get rid of Ning Fengzhi.
After all, the Haotian Sect is a big sect. If Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi escaped and went to assassinate the disciples of the Haotian Sect, wouldn't the entire Haotian Sect be in a panic? Even an outsider like Yu Xiaogang knew about the matter between Tang Chen and Bo Saixi. How could the Haotian Sect, as a party involved, not know about it?
"Back then, your great-grandfather had a connection with the High Priest of Sea God Island. However, all of this is in the past. Sea God Island no longer exists, and the news of its disappearance has long been spread across the continent. Alas, if that High Priest was still alive, perhaps we could unite with him to fight against Spirit Hall."
Tang San and Dai Mubai looked at each other. They didn't expect things to be so simple.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
When he was in the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, Ning Fengzhi had done everything he could to win over the Sea God Island. But unfortunately, with the death of Ou Ya and Hai Mao, the bridge between them and the Sea God Island was broken.
Of course, Tang San didn't know Tang Chen was his great-grandfather at that time. And now, Bo Saixi has taken the initiative to form an alliance with them, so the use of this relationship is not great.
After thinking for a while, Tang San told the truth, "Uncle, actually Seagod Island has not been destroyed. When Mu Bai and I just returned to the land, we met Senior Bo Saixi. Under the promotion of the gods behind us, we have formed an alliance."
Tang Xiao grabbed Tang San's hand and asked anxiously, "Where is Senior Bo Saixi? If grandfather really went to pursue the Divine Exam, then the last person he saw must have been Senior Bo Saixi. Perhaps, we can find out grandfather's whereabouts from her."
As for Tang Chen's strength, everyone on the mainland who is older knows it. If they can find such a strong man, their chances of winning against the Spirit Hall will be a little higher.
"Uncle, don't worry. Mu Bai and I have already made an agreement with Senior Bo Saixi. We will write a letter and let them enter the palace secretly. After that, we can let them take full responsibility for dealing with the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect."
"Oh, by the way, Poseidon Island has been moved to the land. They now call it Lake Center Island."
…
Since the court meeting ended, Ning Fengzhi had been looking forward to how Dai Mubai would repay them. But he waited for a long time and didn't even get summoned by Dai Mubai.
Just when Ning Fengzhi was anxious, Tang Xiao came over to inform them.
He said that it would take some time for Dai Mubai to check the empire's assets, and once the check was completed, he would immediately deliver the benefits to the Haotian Sect and the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
Ning Fengzhi was relieved to know that Haotian Sect had only received a verbal promise for the time being. But he did not realize that this was just a delaying tactic.
The next morning, Dai Mubai arranged a grand funeral for Dai Tianfeng. As soon as noon came, he couldn't wait to run to complete the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven (coronation ceremony).
Later, the Wuhun Daily got the news and published an extra issue, reporting the news of the Xingluo Palace coup, Davis's exposure and arrest, and Dai Mubai's ascension to the throne.
Of course, the source of the information for the Wuhun Daily reporter was naturally released by Dai Mubai.
Tang San used the public opinion effect of Wuhun Daily to portray Dai Mubai as the person who was entrusted with the task in times of crisis.
At the same time, after receiving the news, various major forces began to discuss countermeasures.
First of all, they didn't know much about Dai Mubai. He had never held any position in the Xingluo Empire, so no one knew what kind of decisions he would make and how he would deal with the current situation on the continent.
In the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong summoned all the elders to discuss countermeasures.
Bibi Dong spoke first: "Dai Mubai once came to the Pope's Palace and participated in the Soul Master Competition. I have only met him a few times, but I feel that he is narrow-minded and will never achieve anything."
Snake Spear Douluo did not agree with this statement.
When he and Qian Renxue were lurking in the Tiandou Empire, they naturally came into contact with many things in the court. As the saying goes, you can't judge a person by his appearance. Xue Xing and Xue Beng seemed harmless. But at the critical moment of the Tiandou Palace Incident, if the Spirit Hall had not strengthened its personnel deployment in advance, they might have really turned the tables.
"Your Holiness, the Haotian Sect originally wanted to gain benefits in the Tiandou Empire but failed. After winning the title of the world's number one sect, they quickly switched to the Xingluo Empire. Now in the Xingluo Palace Incident, they are acting as the sect that protects the country. This must be their plan."
"As I recall, Tang San is a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, and during the Spirit Master Competition, he and Dai Mubai were classmates at Shrek Academy. In this case, it is not surprising that Tang San acted as a middleman to win the support of the Clear Sky Sect for Dai Mubai."
Ghost Leopard Douluo continued, "Your Holiness, I passed by Xingluo City before I came back to report. At that time, Davis seemed to have the signs of a coup, but under the protection of the ministers that Dai Tianfeng valued, he did not reveal his true colors."
"Dai Mubai was able to take over without any prior preparation. He must have stolen the results of Davis' coup."
"If he wants to keep his seat on a stolen throne, he must quickly make some achievements. Or, divert the conflicts within the country."
Bibi Dong smiled, "You mean, he might be the initiator of the war?"
Han Yu's original plan was to let the Xingluo Empire take the initiative to challenge the war. Now that Dai Mubai is in power, the Spirit Hall has become more proactive.
