Chapter 548 The advantage is mine
Three days later, there was another grand court meeting of the Xingluo Empire, and many important officials in the Xingluo Imperial City were going to attend the meeting.

Right now, the most important thing for the Xingluo Empire is war.

After the Spirit Hall was dispatched, the situation on the front line fell into a stalemate. The Xingluo Empire was forced to mobilize the power of the whole country step by step, but it was still a stalemate, which inevitably made officials and the people a little restless.

At the court meeting, the issue of war was also discussed at this time.

"Your Majesty, we have mobilized all the soldiers in the empire, but we still cannot gain an advantage on the battlefield, especially after the Spirit Hall got involved. Every time we send more troops, they can always provide corresponding reinforcements. I'm afraid the strength of the Spirit Hall is far more than that. They are doing this very likely to make us and the Heaven Dou Empire continue to waste time, so that they can benefit from it."

"Your Majesty, we can't continue to fight. If we continue to stalemate, our logistics will not be able to keep up. Now that we have gained a lot of benefits, it is time to negotiate peace with the Tiandou Empire."

The person who spoke was the Finance Minister of the Xing Luo Empire. He was the one who dispatched the military supplies in this war.

"You're talking nonsense!" A rough voice cursed immediately. A tall middle-aged general of the Xing Luo Empire stood up and shouted angrily:
"We have already conquered more than a dozen cities in the Tiandou Empire and are on the verge of victory. You said we should negotiate peace? The current emperor of the Tiandou Empire is a sissy who has messed up their country. Their army will flee when they see us. As for the Spirit Hall, their pope is just a young boy and their spirit master army has only more than 10,000 people. Are you afraid?"

"No peace talks, Your Majesty. We absolutely cannot have peace talks. This is our best opportunity ever!"

Emperor Xingluo did not answer, but turned to look at Davis and said in a deep voice: "Prince, what do you think?"

Davis said, "Father, I think we should force the Heaven Dou Empire to negotiate peace and digest what we have eaten first. I have watched the battle between the Spirit Hall Pope and Qian Daoliu. He is so strong that he can definitely fight against an army alone. In addition, we don't know how much strength the Spirit Hall has hidden. It has never been the Heaven Dou Empire that stands in the way of our Xing Luo Empire, but the Spirit Hall. We can't let the Spirit Hall reap the benefits."

As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged general could not wait to refute, "Your Highness, how can we negotiate peace when the situation is so good now? I have also heard about the battle you mentioned where the Spirit Hall Pope fought against an entire army alone, but everyone might as well think about it. If he has such strength, why has he never used it in this war? Why doesn't he come to surprise attack our Xingluo Imperial Capital?"

"I think you were all deceived by him. I heard that he is a spiritual master. Maybe what you saw that day was just an illusion created by him."

"Your Majesty, we have a million-strong army in the Xingluo Empire, and the Spirit Hall and their pope are cowering like a tortoise, not daring to fight us. They are only strong on the outside but weak on the inside. I am confident that our million-strong army of the Xingluo Empire will definitely win."

Emperor Xingluo remained silent and let his ministers discuss the matter, which led to rounds of verbal battles in the court.

The military all advocated fighting to the end, and a considerable number of civil officials also advocated continuing the fight. How could they voluntarily cease fire when they had a huge advantage?

Didn’t you see that even if Spirit Hall and Heaven Dou Empire joined forces they could only be on par with them?

Just as everyone was arguing until their mouths were dry, Emperor Xingluo finally spoke, "Silence!"

The ministers below fell silent. He glanced around with stern eyes, then slowly stood up, emitting a strong aura.

"Some of you want war, some want peace. Whether it's war or peace, it's all for the benefit and future of our Xing Luo Empire."

"But, at this point, we are unstoppable and our soldiers are fighting bravely. If we negotiate peace without even losing a single battle, how can the soldiers be willing?"

"So, we must fight! A big fight, a decisive battle!" "In Douluo Continent, the Spirit Hall has been around for tens of thousands of years. They have experienced countless countries, and it is difficult to say what is right and wrong. But they are the only ones who have always stood firm and sent many empires to the grave. However, I don't want my Xingluo Empire to be one of them!"

"Back then, our ancestors of the Xingluo Empire created this foundation with great difficulty and overcame all difficulties. Forty years ago, our ancestors handed the country to me. I succeeded to the throne and worked hard day and night to govern the country. I was afraid that I would let down my ancestors and the country. I wanted to sacrifice my life for the country to make the empire stronger! Fortunately, the heavens did not let me down. I watched the Xingluo Empire grow stronger day by day, and gradually it had the strength to overwhelm the Tiandou Empire."

"Thirty years ago, we launched an attack on the Tiandou Empire. All the people of the Xingluo Empire were united in hatred of the enemy, all the ministers worked together, and the army marched forward bravely. We were united in purpose and had the best of both worlds. We defeated the Tiandou Empire and forced them to move out of the Spirit Hall to negotiate peace with us. That vibrant and flourishing state is still before our eyes."

"After just thirty years, do we still have to negotiate peace with the Tiandou Empire after our great victory?"

"No matter what, my Xingluo Empire has a million troops, so the advantage is mine!"

For a moment, all the ministers were so excited by these words that they all knelt on the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty, your opinion is great."

However, everyone knew that they had to fight, but no one knew how to win.

Huo Yuhao watched this scene with great interest. He had to admit that the Xingluo Emperor was quite good at public speaking.

When everyone stood up again, Huo Yuhao showed up with a smile and walked towards the Xingluo Emperor step by step.

"Are you done? If you are, you should be on your way. Don't worry, there are more than a hundred people here against one of me. The advantage is on you, don't be afraid."

“Are you Huo Yuhao, the Pope of the Spirit Hall? It’s just right that the Pope has come down. Can we have a chat?” The Xingluo Emperor’s pupils suddenly shrank, and the soul power in his body quietly and rapidly began to circulate.

He knew that since Huo Yuhao appeared here, he must not be here to negotiate, but could only be here to kill him. He just hoped to delay him for a while.

"I don't think so." Huo Yuhao answered softly with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes began to glow with golden light, and an extremely powerful mental wave enveloped the entire place.

“Not good, let’s attack together!” The Xingluo Emperor shouted, and the White Tiger Martial Spirit instantly possessed his body. Eight soul rings lingered under his feet and quickly lit up, and the White Tiger Meteor Shower flew towards Huo Yuhao.

The others also quickly used their martial spirits to attack Huo Yuhao.

Everyone present was a soul master, and for a moment, all the attacks came together in a colorful and powerful display.

Huo Yuhao didn't move at all, but just swept his clear and bright golden eyes over, and those attacks disappeared. The next second, they returned the same way.

For a moment, everyone present was scrambling to deal with the attacks they had launched.
