Chapter two hundred and ninety-ninth: The Zhu family surrenders and departs for Sea God Island
The Duke of Netherworld was as if he was struck by lightning and his whole body froze. The impact of this news on him was extremely great. How could this be possible with more than twenty titled Douluo?
Titled Douluo is the most powerful person on the continent, and it is very rare. Even if it is in the top three sects, the titled Douluo in the two empires is only about ten. This shows how rare Titled Douluo is.
But now Wang Chen told him that there are more than 20 titled Douluo in the Spirit Hall. Isn’t this saying that the titled titled powerhouses in the Spirit Hall are more than twice as high as other forces?
This was so terrible. The Duke of Netherworld was filled with fear. When he thought of so many titled strong men, he was frightened.
After learning this news, the Duke of Netherworld became even more desperate. If he had thought that several major forces had a chance to defeat the Spirit Hall before, he would have no hope now. How could the more than 20 title-secured strong men defeat it?
Wang Chen and Zhuqing didn't say anything anymore. They said everything they should say. Now it depends on how the Duke of Netherworld chooses.
The Duke of Netherworld looked hesitant and was experiencing complex ideological struggles in his mind.
"Ten minutes are here, you should tell me your choice." Wang Chen stood up from the chair and looked at the Duke of Netherworld with a sharp look.
The Duke of Netherworld was shocked. He didn't expect that ten minutes would pass so soon. Although he had a vague answer in his heart, he still couldn't make up his mind completely. After all, this matter was too important.
"What, haven't you made a decision yet?" Wang Chen knew that he was still hesitating and frowned slightly when he saw the Duke of Netherworld.
"Hu" The Duke of Netherworld took a deep breath, and his hesitant gaze gradually became firm. He knew that Wang Chen was already impatient at this time. If he did not give an answer, he might not have the chance to give an answer.
"The Duke of Netherworld is willing to surrender to the Martial Spirit Hall." The Duke of Netherworld gave his answer, with a complicated expression and a lonely face.
Hearing this answer, Wang Chen showed a satisfied smile on his face, and Zhu Zhuqing also felt relieved. She was happier than Wang Chen, and was happy for her father.
"You made the right choice," Wang Chen said with a smile.
The Duke of Netherworld did not speak, but nodded weakly, his heart was bitter and the feeling of betrayal made him difficult to laugh.
Wang Chen understood the mood of the Netherworld at this time and did not say anything more. He took out the paper and pen from the storage ring, walked aside and held the pen and wrote it. Soon he wrote a letter of surrender.
He walked to the Duke of Netherworld with the written thing and said, "Duke, you have no idea what to say, you should sign a letter on it, so that I can really trust you."
He didn't know the Duke of Netherworld and could not trust him 100%. It would be better to write it on paper for things like surrender. Otherwise, what if the Duke of Netherworld just regrets it when they leave?
The Duke of Netherworld glanced at the surrender written by Wang Chen, then looked at Wang Chen, sighed lightly, took the letter and walked slowly to the table and chair, picked up the pen that Wang Chen had just used and signed his name.
After signing the letter, the Duke of Netherworld was like a deflated ball, leaning on the chair weakly, looking lonely, as if he had suddenly become decades old. Making this decision can be said to have exhausted his mind.
Zhu Zhuqing looked so embarrassed when she saw the Duke of Netherworld, she wanted to go over and comfort him, but she didn't know what to say.
Wang Chen put away the letter and said to the Duke of Netherworld: "After returning to the Wuhun Palace, we don't need you to provide military support, you just need some information, this should not be difficult for you."
"Don't worry, you won't let you provide information for nothing. The more useful the information you provide, the greater the benefits you will get in the future."
"If you can convey the core secrets of the Star Luo Empire to the Spirit Hall, then after the war is over, the Duke of Netherworld may gain a higher status than it is now." Wang Chen bewitched and began to draw big cakes for the Duke of Netherworld.
The Duke of Netherworld remained silent, not sure if he didn't hear Wang Chen's words or didn't want to pay attention to it.
"Duke, think about what I said," Wang Chen said. The Duke of Netherworld did not respond and asked him to stop talking.
After saying that, Wang Chen looked away, walked to Zhu Zhuqing, and Hu Liena's two girls approached and said, "Let's go."
Hu Liena nodded immediately. Xiao Jin had already shrunk and lay on Wang Chen's shoulder. Zhu Zhuqing glanced at the Duke of Netherworld, and hesitated for a moment before nodding to agree.
There were many soul masters nearby. When they saw Wang Chen and the other two walking out, they were all facing a great enemy, as if they saw a ferocious beast, and their legs were trembling.
These people kept retreating. After seeing Wang Chen's terrifying strength, they still dared to stop him and unconsciously made way for them.
Wang Chen and the other two didn't care about these soul masters and left the Duke's Mansion directly.
"Junior brother, where are we going now?" The three of them walked on the street, and Hu Liena asked with a smile.
Wang Chen thought for a while and said, "Let's leave Nether City first. You can stroll around the nearby city. It's not too late to go back to Wuhun City after playing for a few days."
"Okay" Huliena cheered.
"Zhuqing, I used to your father like that, you won't blame me, right?" Wang Chen looked at Zhuqing who was silent beside him and asked softly.
Zhu Zhuqing and Wang Chen looked at each other, smiled and shook their heads, and said, "No, you did that for the good of the Zhu family. If you were not crueler to my father, he might not have made such a choice. Then, when the war broke out, the Zhu family would have to perish with the Xingluo Empire."
"It may be a bit cruel to let him make this decision now, but in the future he will understand how correct this decision is."
Wang Chen showed a happy smile on his face. Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing had no intention of blaming him, he felt relieved.
In the Duke's Mansion, the Duke of Nether leaned weakly on the chair, leaned his head and looked at the roof in a daze.
Several powerful guards walked into the hall carefully. When they saw the appearance of the Duke of Netherworld, they were immediately anxious. They hurried to the Duke of Netherworld and said anxiously: "Duke, are you okay?"
The Duke of Netherworld remained silent and ignored these guards.
Several guards looked at each other and looked even more anxious. This was the first time they saw the Duke of Netherworld in this state.
After several consecutive calls, the Duke of Netherworld slowly came to his senses, glanced at the guards around him, waved his hand and signaled that he was fine.
After a few minutes of adjusting his state, the Duke of Netherworld returned to his former majesty, glanced at several people coldly, and said, "Transfer my order. No one can mention today's affairs, especially if they violate it, they will be killed without mercy."
At the end, the Duke of Netherworld exuded a strong murderous intent, which made the guards tremble and their faces showed fear. They immediately responded: "Yes."
The Duke of Nether nodded with satisfaction and said, "You pass on this order, remember to let everyone do nothing happen today."
…
After playing in the Xingluo Empire for more than ten days, Wang Chen took the two girls back to Wuhun City.
After returning to Wuhun City, Wang Chen and Bibidong talked about the surrender of the Duke of Netherworld's Mansion.
"Haha, okay, Xiaochen, you did a great job of surrendering the Duke of Netherworld this time. With their information, we will be much more relaxed when we use troops to the Xingluo Empire in the future." Bibidong was overjoyed after listening to Wang Chen's story and said excitedly.
They also have secret spies in the Xingluo Empire, but no matter how powerful the secret spies are, can there be more than the Duke of Netherworld know about it?
As an existence above ten thousand people under the Xingluo Empire, what the Duke of Netherworld knows is definitely beyond their imagination, and it is very appropriate to obtain information from him.
Seeing Bibi Dong so happy, Wang Chen couldn't help but smile and was happy in his heart.
"Teacher, please send a strong man to the Xingluo Empire to connect with the Duke of Netherworld. Now you can start inquire about the news about the Xingluo Empire from him and prepare for future wars," Wang Chen suggested.
Bibidong nodded in agreement and said, "You are right. I will send someone to the Xingluo Empire to contact the Duke of Netherworld in a while."
"By the way, now the Duke of Netherworld has surrendered to our Spirit Hall. Is the plan we discussed before to use the Duke of Netherworld to alienate Xingluo's relationship with other forces still going forward?" Bibidong asked suddenly.
Wang Chen looked at Bibidong with a smile on his lips and said meaningfully: "What do the teacher think?"
Bibidong pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "I think it's better to follow the original plan. The matter of your trip to the Netherworld Duke's Mansion should not be hidden from Emperor Xingluo. Even if he trusts the Netherworld Duke, he will start to doubt the relationship between the Spirit Hall and the Netherworld Duke's Mansion in this situation."
"If we do nothing, it will undoubtedly strengthen his suspicion, but if we take the initiative to spread the news of your trip to the Duke of Netherworld, this will dispel his suspicion and make him mistakenly think that we are using this to distract their relationship."
"After all, if the Netherworld Duke's Mansion really colluded with the Spirit Hall, how could the Spirit Hall take the initiative to say it?" Bibidong and Wang Chen smiled at each other, and both understood what the other party meant.
"I think so too. I don't have to do too secretly when spreading the news. The one who can find out that the news is our Spirit Hall. In this way, Dai Tianfeng will not believe that the Duke of Netherworld will surrender to the Spirit Hall." Wang Chen nodded and said.
Bibi Dong looked at Wang Chen with relief, very satisfied with Wang Chen's thoughts.
"By the way, what's the situation now?" Wang Chen asked. He was a little curious about the situation in the mainland.
Speaking of the current situation, Bibidong's smile also restrained a little and said, "Our side is progressing smoothly. The original swaying kingdom has promised to surrender to the Wuhun Hall. They will publicly announce their separation from their respective empires with just one order."
"We have almost annexed those small sects. All the lower four sects have become affiliated sects of the Wuhun Hall, and now they are almost integrated together." Bibidong said. These things went smoothly and made her feel very happy.
"But our side is going well, the two empires and the three sects are not bad."
"The Haotian Sect announced its birth some time ago, and joined forces with the other two sects to shock the soul masters of the wandering cultivators, making them afraid to attack the disciples of the previous three sects."
"Without the threat of the soul master of the wandering cultivator, the disciples of the upper three sects have also become more frequent on the mainland."
"The armies of the two empires are also gathering and training, and preparing for the war. According to spies, the two empires and the three sects are also planning to sign an alliance agreement to strengthen their ties and deal with the Spirit Hall," Bibidong sneered.
Wang Chen's expression was a little cold, and he jokingly said, "After we spread the news, I don't know if they will sign the agreement."
"I'm looking forward to their reaction," Bibi Dong's mouth slightly raised.
"Teacher, when are you planning to establish a country?" Wang Chen asked.
Bibi Dong thought about it carefully and said, "In a year, the speed of rectifying scattered forces is faster than I imagined. Since this is the case, our plan needs to be appropriately advanced. Judging from the current situation, it is just one year."
Wang Chen nodded and said, "It's better to be ahead of time, there is no need to delay such a thing too long."
After the conversation, Wang Chen returned to his palace, while Bibidong sent hundreds of soul masters to spread the news.
The news that the Holy Son of the Martial Spirit Hall went to the Duke of Netherworld was spreading rapidly on the continent. In just a few days, this incident reached the ears of the emperors of the two empires, and the sect leader of the three sects also learned about the news.
After hearing the news, Emperor Xingluo just sneered. He originally had some doubts about whether the Duke of Netherworld had become involved with the Wuhun Palace because of Zhu Zhuqing, but after hearing the news, his suspicion completely disappeared.
It is obvious that the Spirit Hall did it on purpose, and wanted to use this incident to alienate the relationship between the royal family and the Duke of Netherworld.
Dai Tianfeng actually didn't believe that the Zhu family would betray the royal family. You should know that the two families have been in love for thousands of years and have been married for generations. The two families have long been tied together. One prospers and one loses, and the other loses. The Zhu family will not do anything to betray the royal family.
It is precisely because of this idea that when Dai Tianfeng learned that the Spirit Hall was spreading news about the possible betrayal of the Duke's Mansion, he would directly dispel the suspicion in his heart.
But how could he know that the Zhu family was not as loyal as he imagined to be. Compared to loyalty, the decline of the family obviously made the Zhu family more concerned.
Dai Tianfeng did not believe that the Zhu family would betray, but the people from the Tiandou Empire and the upper three sects might not think so. When they learned the news, they were more wary of the Zhu family.
The heads of several major forces sent a message to Dai Tianfeng and asked him to be more careful about the Duke of Netherworld to avoid betrayal of the Zhu family.
Dai Tianfeng didn't care too much about this, but was a little angry. When was it the turn of other forces to intervene in their Xingluo Empire?
Due to the tension in the situation, Dai Tianfeng did not get angry directly. He replied a few letters perfunctorily, saying that he would pay attention and there would be no follow-up.
Emperor Tiandou, Ning Fengzhi and others were a little dissatisfied with Dai Tianfeng's attitude, but they did not make their relationship terrible because of this incident.
