Douluo: After transforming into a soul beast, I will roll inward to save my life

Chapter 408: Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, Expelling Spirit Hall
Nan Li had expected that the Spirit Hall would re-elect the seven major sects, but the time would be earlier than he had expected.

Zhu Zhulang was right. The Spirit Hall held the Seven Great Sects Re-election Conference to challenge the two empires. According to the subsequent trajectory, after the birth of the new seven great sects, within a year or so, the Spirit Hall will establish a country, and then declare war on the two empires.

Xue Ke thought for a while and said, "So, the Xiangjia Academy neither interacts with the other four element academies nor participates in the Imperial Elite Competition. Is it because the Xiangjia Sect wants to participate in the election of the seven major sects?"

Zhu Zhulang sneered, "That's right. As long as there's profit to be made, these people will run away faster than reincarnation."

"Do they want to join the Spirit Hall? Not necessarily. Maybe they just want the title of one of the seven major sects..." Xue Ke herself was a little hesitant when she said this.

Zhu Zhulang bluntly pointed out the reality: "He took off his pants and said he just wanted to fart. Do you believe him? No one would believe him!"

If the Xiangjia Sect just wanted the title of the Seven Great Sects, was it necessary to distance itself from Tiandou so clearly? The Wuhun Hall could hold the Seven Great Sects Re-election Conference, so why couldn't the two empires join forces to hold one?
Nan Li looked at Xue Ke, who was still underage, and reminded her, "Speak politely."

Zhu Zhulang asked back: "What do you mean?"

"I mean..." Nan Li tried to translate Lan Xing's words, "Be more subtle."

Zhu Zhulang and Xue Ke looked at each other and then looked at Nanli in confusion.

Xue Ke: It’s okay, I’m used to hearing it.

Zhu Zhulang: It’s a waste of time.

Nan Li understood the looks of the two people and said, "Just pretend I didn't say anything."

Nan Li showed a rare sense of helplessness and motioned Xue Ke to continue.

"The Spirit Hall wants to re-elect the seven major sects. First, the Haotian Sect has been in seclusion for a long time, and it is unknown whether it still exists. Second, the Qibao Liuli Sect and the Landian Tyrannosaurus Sect have already surrendered to the Tiandou Empire and are no longer independent sects. They should no longer be counted as the seven major sects..."

"Their reasons are indeed valid, and it is reasonable to hold a re-election meeting for the seven major sects. Why do you say that the Spirit Hall must be challenging the two empires?"

After listening to Xue Ke's words, Nan Li suddenly realized that this princess was not stupid, but there was something wrong with her way of thinking.

Nan Li said: "Your Highness, you are now the crown prince of the empire. You don't need to try to understand what the Spirit Hall does. What you need to do is to analyze the purpose of the Spirit Hall's actions."

"For example, the Tiandou Empire held the Elite Competition to select talents for the possible war, and the Spirit Hall spent a lot of money and effort to re-select the seven major sects. Naturally, they also have their own purposes."

"In other words, think about it. If you were the Pope of the Spirit Hall, what would you hope to gain from the re-election meeting of the seven major sects? After getting what you want, what would you like to do next? If this trend continues, what would be your ultimate goal?"

Nan Li also reminded: "You are sitting in this position now, and you will be the ruler of a country in the future. All the 'conspiracy theories' in your mind may become reality."

This time, Xue Ke reacted quickly. She said, "The Spirit Hall wants to unify the continent?"

That’s right, the Spirit Hall wants to unify the continent.

……

A month later, the Seven Major Sects Re-election Conference and the Empire Elite Competition ended almost at the same time. However, the new leader of the Seven Major Sects was not the Elephant Armor Sect, but the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Chamber.

Emperor Xue Ye sat at the head of the table, and on his sides were Ning Fengzhi, leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and Yu Yuanzhen, leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect, two princes of different surnames from the Tiandou Empire.

Ever since the fake prince was exposed and Xue Ke became the new heir to the empire, Prince Xue Xing has gradually withdrawn from the court, cultivating himself and no longer participating in government affairs. Even though today's meeting was of great importance, Xue Xing did not show up.

According to the etiquette system of the Tiandou Empire, Xue Ke, as the crown prince, should be above the two princes of the opposite sex to show the difference between the monarch and the minister. But in order to pave the way for Xue Ke, Emperor Xue Ye deliberately changed the position and also told Xue Ke to treat the two sect leaders with the courtesy of a teacher, so there was this scene where Xue Ke sat below Ning Fengzhi.

Zhu Zhulang still stayed beside Xue Ke, while Luo Gu sat opposite Nan Li. The meeting room was different from the meeting hall. It was smaller in size and had two rows of chairs for long meetings. At this time, in addition to Nan Li, Luo Gu, and several imperial officials, the champion team of the Tiandou Empire Elite Competition, the Four Elements Academy team, was also sitting on the chairs.

In addition to the four single-attribute teams participating in the competition, the Four Elements Academy also sent a powerful super team, which is composed of the main players of each team in the previous elite competition. There are only seven people in total, with no substitutes.

There was no doubt that these seven people were all old acquaintances of Nan Li. In addition to Feng Xiaotian who was beside her, the following were Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, Yu Tianxin, Shui Binger, Dan Qing, and Xue Wu.

Others from the original four teams, such as Lei Dong, served as captains and main forces of the new teams, leading several players to form new teams and participate in the competition.

Half of the seats in the hall were still empty. Soon, the Tiandou Royal Academy's recommended team arrived. This recommended team was exactly the Tiandou Royal Academy's first team from the previous elite competition, but this time they did not occupy the two team quotas of the academy and were directly recommended to the finals.

Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan were the ones walking in the front. When they saw the people from the Four Elements Academy sitting in the hall, their faces were not very happy. No one expected that the Four Elements Academy would bring together the seven strongest people to form such a super team.

According to normal procedures, shouldn't they recommend the last year's champion team, the Blazing Academy team? Who knew that they would do something like this? It's totally unethical!
But since they were here, it didn't matter whether they had martial virtue or not. On the surface, the two teams were sent to battle, but in fact, these fourteen people all had imperial titles and were imperial generals selected by Emperor Xue Ye. They would all be involved in national wars in the future.

"Everyone, please take your seats." Seeing that everyone was present, Emperor Xue Ye spoke first and talked about the recent actions of the Spirit Hall.

Three or four months ago, the two empires announced that they would each hold an empire elite competition to prevent elite spirit masters from flowing into Wuhun City. Wuhun Hall did not express dissatisfaction, but immediately announced the holding of the Seven Great Sects Re-election Conference to select the new Seven Great Sects.

As the Elite Competition came to an end, the re-election meeting of the seven major sects also ended. The new seven major sects are: Nine Treasure Glazed Sect, Elephant Armor Sect, Holy Dragon Sect, Black Tiger Sect, Rock Antelope Sect, Sparrow Bee Sect and Wind Sword Sect.

The new seven sects are undoubtedly the most loyal supporters of the Spirit Hall. In addition to these seven sects, there are several sects headed by the Fire Leopard Sect that have chosen to be loyal to the Spirit Hall. The number of soul masters under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Hall has increased rapidly.

"Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect? Sect Master Ning, may I ask how many disciples your sect has lost?" Nan Li asked without any politeness.

When Nan Li heard the word "Nine Treasures", he immediately thought of Ning Xinxin, who had robbed the Yin-Yang Eyes of Fire and Ice many times and had stolen the fairy grass needed for the evolution of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower - the Qiluo Tulip.

But the foundation of a sect, in addition to the resources provided by the Spirit Hall, also depends on the disciples within the sect. If there was only Ning Xinxin, a spirit master of the Glazed Tower, the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect would definitely not be able to gain a foothold on the mainland.

There are only so many Glazed Tower Soul Masters in the entire continent. If the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect rises, the fate of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect can be imagined.

Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath and replied, "Our trade and communication lines outside the Tiandou Empire have been almost completely destroyed. Most of the disciples outside the Tiandou Empire have been incorporated into the Spirit Hall, and the rebels have been massacred, with a loss of nearly a thousand people. Currently, within the Xingluo Empire, only the disciples in the Xingluo Imperial City and some cities have been saved."

Ning Fengzhi's words were vague, but Nan Li knew that apart from the political center of Xingluo, only Longxing City, Gengxin City and other places had not yet been infiltrated on a large scale by the Spirit Hall.

Not only was Ning Fengzhi worried, Nanli was also worried. After all, the members of the two tribes had long-term cooperation with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

"The situation in the Tiandou Empire is still good, but in the border areas, especially near Wuhun City, there are some disciples who have defected."

When Ning Fengzhi mentioned the Tiandou territory, his expression finally softened. Ever since he and Yu Yuanzhen accepted the imperial title, Emperor Xue Ye ordered that the children of the two sects in the empire enjoy the treatment of state officials. Now the number of people who defected to the Spirit Hall is still controllable.

In addition, when the Tiandou Empire held the Elite Competition, the supervisory officials sent to various places basically stayed in the local area to strengthen the royal family's economic and political control over various places, and at the same time to monitor the various martial spirit halls in disguise.

At least on the surface, there have been no major moves by the Wuhun branch halls within the Tiandou Empire.

After listening to Ning Fengzhi's description of the current situation of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Emperor Xue Ye asked, "Sect Master Ning, do you know who the current sect master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is? I heard that although this person only has the cultivation of a Soul Saint, he possesses the rare Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda martial spirit. As they are both Glazed Tile Pagodas, is there any connection between them?"

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's expression turned ugly again. "If what I think is correct, this person should be a disciple who defected from the sect a few years ago. After joining the Spirit Hall, I don't know what kind of opportunity he encountered. The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda spirit evolved into the rumored Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda..."

Ning Xinxin, a Soul Saint, her cultivation speed is not slow. Nan Li did not say anything else. Some words are useless and will only make everyone more anxious. It is better not to say anything.

This meeting lasted for two and a half hours. At the end, Emperor Xue Ye said to everyone: "I have decided to expel the martial spirit branch halls within the empire, and let the imperial officials take over the management of spirit masters across the country."

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn. Nan Li looked up at Luo Gu opposite him, and the two of them curled their lips at the same time.

This is a declaration of war.
