Chapter 125. Let's join hands.
"Good, Sect Master Ning, that's exactly what I was thinking." Dai Tianfeng said.
Xue Qinghe said, "Since the teacher has invited me, I dare not refuse."
Not long after, Ning Fengzhi hosted a grand banquet in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect for Yu Yuanzhen, Dai Tianfeng and his wife, Xue Qinghe, and others.
After three rounds of drinks, Ning Fengzhi suddenly asked, "What are your thoughts on the situation on the continent?"
"Now, after what happened to the Haotian Sect, even if they survive, they're weakened." Yu Yuanzhen said with a heavy heart, "Now is the time for the Spirit Hall to dominate."
"I doubt it's a single dominant force." Dai Tianfeng shook his head and said, "My Star Luo Empire isn't afraid of the Spirit Hall. We have a million-strong army."
"A million-strong army?" Yu Yuanzhen sneered and said, "Your Majesty, Dai Tianfeng, you are a Titled Douluo. You must know that every Titled Douluo has the ability to take the head of an enemy general from a million-strong army."
Dai Tianfeng fell silent. He, too, was a Titled Douluo and naturally understood what a Titled Douluo should do when facing an army.
The Spirit Hall had no shortage of Titled Douluos. While their human resources might be lower than those of the Star Luo Empire, they didn't need to face their own million-strong army. They could focus on attacking their own command system, and their millions of soldiers would fall into disarray without a fight.
"Admittedly, if we all unite, our manpower, material resources, and financial resources will surpass the Spirit Hall. The two empires of Tiandou and Xingluo could easily mobilize a million troops, but—" Ning Fengzhi said solemnly, "Have you ever considered the Spirit Hall's power?"
"Against the Haotian Sect, the Spirit Hall demonstrated the power of twelve Titled Douluo, but is that all the Spirit Hall has? I don't think so. At least some of the worshippers haven't appeared. Qian Xunji became a Limit Douluo, and including the older generation Qian Daoliu, the Spirit Hall has two Titled Douluos."
"Everyone, imagine, who has the most Spirit Masters in the entire continent?" Ning Fengzhi asked.
"Of course it's the Spirit Hall. Of the ten Spirit Masters on the continent, the Spirit Hall alone accounts for seven or eight out of ten," Yu Yuanzhen said solemnly.
Ning Fengzhi said: "It seems that the top-level combat power and the middle-level combat power of the Spirit Hall are far superior to all of us. Compared with the Spirit Hall, our only advantage is the strength of the grassroots. We can mobilize tens of thousands of troops, that's all."
"What's more, this is the result of comparing all of us together with the Spirit Hall. What if we face the Spirit Hall alone?
Yu Yuanzhen, Dai Tianfeng, Xue Qinghe and others nodded.
Ning Fengzhi continued: "Qian Xunji has mastered such a powerful force. He will definitely not be willing to be just a Spirit Hall Pope. Today, he can make a fuss and take the lives of so many noble disciples of the Haotian Sect with the lives of a few peasants. In the future, the Spirit Hall can find an excuse to attack our three sects and two empires. Can our strength alone resist the Spirit Hall?"
Dai Tianfeng asked: "What do you think, Sect Master Ning?"
"We are of the same blood. "Ning Fengzhi said: "We are all of the same blood. If the Spirit Hall attacks one side, we will support it from all sides. We will condense the strength of all our forces together to fight against the Spirit Hall. Even if our united strength may be slightly insufficient for the Spirit Hall, it can also make the Spirit Hall hesitate to act rashly."
As he spoke, Ning Fengzhi took out a secret agreement and showed it to all parties. After taking a look at it, each party wrote their name on the secret agreement.
Finally, the secret agreement was handed to Ning Fengzhi, who nodded contentedly.
"Okay, from now on, we, the Upper Three Sects, and the Two Empires, are all one. As long as we unite and work together, even the Spirit Hall, no matter how powerful, will dare to act rashly," Ning Fengzhi declared.
The leaders of each faction nodded in congratulations on the formation of this secret alliance.
As they were leaving, Zhu Tiancai asked Dai Tianfeng, "Husband, do you think this secret agreement from Ning Fengzhi can truly protect all parties and balance the Spirit Hall's power?"
Dai Tianfeng shook his head and said, "This secret agreement barely protects itself, let alone balances it. The Spirit Hall's power has long since destroyed the balance of power between the Spirit Hall, the Upper Three Sects, and the Two Empires."
"If it weren't for the Spirit Hall, our Xingluo Empire would have unified the continent long ago. It used to be the Spirit Hall that balanced us against the Heaven Dou Empire. Now, it's our turn to balance the Spirit Hall." Dai Tianfeng's words were met with fury.
At its peak, the Xingluo Empire attempted to swallow up the Tiandou Empire, but was defeated by both the Spirit Hall and the Tiandou Empire. Having missed its peak glory, it is now in decline. Meanwhile, after hundreds and thousands of years of accumulation, the Spirit Hall has reached a terrifying level of strength.
It can be said that even if the Spirit Hall were to stand up and confront all the forces on the continent, it would still be able to fight.
Dai Tianfengwei was deeply apprehensive about this.
"Secret agreements can only ensure self-preservation, but we in the Xingluo Empire cannot risk our lives on these unreliable allies." Dai Tianfeng mentioned Ning Fengzhi with a look of disdain. "Ning Fengzhi, you keep saying the three sects are united, but when the Haotian Sect was attacked by the Spirit Hall, what was he doing? Standing on the shore watching the ship capsize? If one day, when our Xingluo Empire is targeted by the Spirit Hall, will Ning Fengzhi also stand on the shore and watch our ship capsize like he did today?"
Zhu Tiancai nodded. She asked, "If the Spirit Hall targets our Xingluo Empire, what should we do?"
"As long as I'm here, the Spirit Hall won't be able to gain even the slightest advantage over our Xingluo Empire," Dai Tianfeng said. "Ning Fengzhi said that the Spirit Hall surpasses us in strength, both in terms of ordinary and top-level spirit masters. But I have an idea to close the gap between us."
"What method?" Zhu Tiancai asked.
"We can use 'them' to our advantage," Dai Tianfeng said, clenching his fist.
"They?" Zhu Tiancai asked, his face full of confusion.
Dai Tianfeng's lips moved, his voice a thread. Upon hearing Dai Tianfeng's secret letter, Zhu Tiancai looked at him in shock and said, "Your Majesty, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"Nothing is wrong." A hint of anger flashed in Dai Tianfeng's eyes. He said, "The only unchangeable thing in the Xingluo Empire is the supremacy of imperial power and the law of the Dai family's eternal rule. In order to preserve imperial power and our unshakable rule, it is necessary to take some extraordinary measures. However, this process will only make our people suffer."
