#405 - A god of war who cares about the people

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Inside the magnificent palace, a figure rushed in from the palace door in a panic, and without saying a word, he knelt down towards Xu Jiawei who was sitting on the throne.

Seeing him so anxious, Xu Jiawei frowned slightly, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

The man took two breaths, and when his heartbeat calmed down a little, he explained with a look of trepidation on his face.

"It's like this, Your Majesty. Just now, a man and a woman suddenly came to the outside of the palace. They claimed to be Dai Mubai, the White Tiger Douluo, and Zhu Zhuqing, the Netherworld Douluo, from ten thousand years ago. They came to the palace to ask you something."

"Dai Mubai?"

Xu Jiawei's eyelids twitched, and he felt as if his heart had stopped for a beat.

When he decided to help Huo Yuhao massacre the Duke's Mansion, he had guessed that there might be such a day. He never thought that five or six years later, it would actually come true.

Are you here to find him and call him to account?

No, if it was really about the Duke's Mansion, these two people would have directly entered without giving the guards a chance to report.

Is it because of something else?

Or are those two simply imposters?

Having been emperor for a long time, Xu Jiawei, who never showed his emotions, did not show much change in expression. After some thought, he asked hesitantly.

"Could it be that some unknown person came here to defraud people?"

The man shook his head: "It should be true. The two of them just released their martial spirits in front of the guards. They are indeed the Evil Eyed White Tiger and the Nether Spirit Cat. The most important thing is that their spirit rings have been red since the first one, which is not something that humans can have at all."

Oh, what’s the big deal about all red? We have all seen a lot of storms with Huo Yuhao, so how can we be scared by a few hundred thousand year spirit rings?

A normal 100,000-year spirit ring is just a base for him.

Although he was thinking this in his mind, Xu Jiawei frowned even deeper.

"No thanks to your Majesty, we are here now."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall looked outside the door in the direction of the voice and saw the two figures who had just crossed the threshold.

Walking in front was a burly man with long golden hair and over two meters tall. He seemed to have explosive power in his body. Even through his clothes, the outline of his sharp muscles could be vaguely seen.

The most eye-catching thing was the man's eyes that sparkled with an evil light. Combined with his handsome appearance and slightly raised corners of his mouth, he exuded an evil charm.

Half a step behind the man was a black-haired woman with an extremely hot body. Combined with her iconic two-color heterochromatic eyes, her identity as a member of the Zhu family was clearly revealed.

Although it was still unclear whether the two were the gods who ascended to the divine realm ten thousand years ago, judging from the awe-filled looks in everyone's eyes, they had obviously already believed it.

Noticing everyone's gazes, Dai Mubai couldn't help but smile a little more.

"I'm sorry, your guards responsible for reporting were too slow. I couldn't wait any longer, so I brought Zhu Qing here uninvited. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Although he said sorry, he maintained a cynical expression on his face, as if he was not apologizing but deliberately embarrassing the Emperor in front of him.

Fortunately, Xu Jiawei hid his emotions very well and responded with a forced smile.

"Senior, you are joking. I feel honored to have seen the White Tiger Douluo who has been famous in the continent for ten thousand years. How can I have any intention of complaining?"

"Senior? I haven't heard anyone call me that in a long time. But you're not wrong. After all, if you really count, I'm ten thousand years older than you."

As if these words touched his heart, Dai Mubai couldn't help but smile happily and sighed softly.

However, before Xu Jiawei could breathe a sigh of relief, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared and he changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, I am confused about one thing, and I hope Your Majesty can help me understand it."

"Senior, please speak."

Dai Mubai waved his hand casually: "It's not a big deal, but when I was asking for directions outside the palace earlier, I heard from the people in Xingluo City that the current Xingluo royal family has actually changed their surname to Xu?"

As he spoke, he stared at Xu Jiawei, whose body suddenly became a little stiff, and said in a playful tone: "But if I remember correctly, when I left, the Xingluo Empire should still be named Dai, right? I wonder if Your Majesty can tell me why this is the case?"

A vague pressure spread from the hall, hanging over everyone's heart, as if if Xu Jiawei gave a bad answer, everyone present would be buried with him.

However, Xu Jiawei was not too panicked. He had already simulated similar scenarios in his mind, so he just coughed twice and answered calmly.

"Senior, you may not know that thousands of years ago, two continents collided. Our Xingluo Empire was the first to bear the brunt of the war with the Sun-Moon Empire. At that time, the White Tiger Royal Family, in order to defend the country, united all the major forces in the country to fight bravely on the front line. Although they won the war in the end, the royal family also suffered heavy casualties and the population was dwindling."

"In addition, the country was in turmoil at the time, and people were in panic. Many ambitious people wanted to take the opportunity to set up their own factions. In order to maintain the stability of the country, the White Tiger Imperial Family, who cared about the world, took the initiative to negotiate with us. Our Xingguan Sect would take over the throne, and the remaining members of the White Tiger Imperial Family would be named hereditary dukes, and jointly govern the empire with the Xingguan Sect, while also sharing the glory and wealth."

After saying a lot of 'heartfelt' nonsense against his conscience, Xu Jiawei's throat moved slightly, and he waited anxiously for Dai Mubai's reaction.

The next second, a cold snort burst out from Dai Mubai's throat, scaring many people present so much that they shuddered subconsciously.

"The Sun-Moon Empire you're talking about is the one that wasted the abilities of its soul masters and put the cart before the horse in order to research soul guides?"

"Yeah."

Seeing that the other party's anger was not directed at him, Xu Jiawei's heart finally settled down, and he patiently explained: "Today, the soul guides they make are already very powerful. Even a Titled Douluo may lose his life if he is not careful."

"Oh, it's just some unorthodox methods."

Dai Mubai curled his lips in disapproval, his tone unable to conceal his contempt: "If I have time, I can go to the Sun Moon Empire and let those ignorant guys know that compared to real power, what they pursue is nothing but garbage!"

Since he had agreed with others to restore the glory of the Tang Sect, he would naturally not give the soul guide too much favor and would suppress it as much as possible.

Even if the other party does not give him face, he does not mind destroying the entire Sun and Moon Empire.

Seeing the ferocity that flashed across Dai Mubai's eyes, Xu Jiawei fell silent. He had already begun to silently calculate in his heart that he must find an opportunity to send a letter to the Spirit Pagoda and the Sun Moon Empire to inform Huo Yuhao and the others to prevent this incident.

Just when he was thinking about how to hold back the two giant Buddhas, Dai Mubai's voice suddenly rang out again.

"I know that you three Douluo Kingdoms are secretly developing soul guides to try to catch up with the Sun Moon Empire, but don't blame me for not reminding you. It's better to give up this idea as soon as possible."

"ah?"

Xu Jiawei was stunned: "Why is this?"

"Because you are destroying the world you live in."

Recalling the time when he and Tang San talked about the situation in the lower realm, and the compassionate look on his good brother's face, Dai Mubai raised his voice a few degrees.

"The development of soul guides is often accompanied by the massive exploitation of resources on the continent. Have you ever thought about what the world will become if the exploitation continues endlessly and there are few resources left?"

Seeing Xu Jiawei speechless, he couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"That's why I say that you mortals are short-sighted and deceived by the little benefits in front of you. You don't know that your actions are destroying the future of this world! If I were not also born in the Douluo plane and the empire, and I couldn't bear to see it fall to this, how could I tell you this."

“.”

In the huge palace, only Dai Mubai's voice was slowly echoing.

Everyone was silent. No one knew whether they were touched by his words or simply did not dare to question him at this time.

After a brief silence, the invisible pressure receded like the tide. Dai Mubai didn't seem to want to explore this topic any further and changed the subject directly.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Back to the point. I heard everything you said just now. It's me who seems to be petty."

As he spoke, he looked around curiously.

"Speaking of which, where are the descendants of my White Tiger lineage now? I finally came to the lower world, so I have to meet with the younger generations and ask about their recent situation."

"Forehead"

After hearing this, Xu Jiawei felt like he was about to break out in a cold sweat.

Damn it, they even split the earthworms in the Duke's Mansion in half, so where can they find the descendants of the White Tiger lineage?

You can't just pull Dai Hao out of jail, right?

After much thought, he could only try to save the situation by bringing in Dai Luoli, who had inherited the Duke's throne, to deal with it.

Dai Mubai frowned and asked, seeming to notice that Xu Jiawei was in a bad condition.

"Why, are they not in the city?"

"To be honest, the address of the Duke's Mansion is indeed outside the city. If you don't mind, you can move to the reception room to rest for a while. I will send someone to invite you now."

Dai Mubai didn't doubt it. After looking at Zhu Zhuqing beside him, he nodded boredly.

"Okay, lead the way then."

Picking up a grape from the plate in front of him and putting it into his mouth, Dai Mubai leaned back on the sofa behind him with a comfortable look on his face, swinging his legs leisurely.

"It's still more comfortable in the lower realm. Alas, if it weren't for the regulations of the God Realm at that time, I would probably still be sitting on the throne now, and there would be no Star Crown Sect's turn."

"Why, are you jealous of the people living a life of luxury in the lower world?"

Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing by, couldn't help but frowned: "We agreed to come here to find out about the murderer, but you're concerned about the Duke's Mansion and soul guides. What do you mean?"

"We can't just sit there and watch that guy named Xu bully our Dai family, can we?"

Dai Mubai snorted coldly: "My Dai family has been established for many years, how can I let others take advantage of it? I have finally come to the lower world, so I will naturally take care of it if I have the chance."

"What about Rongrong?"

Zhu Zhuqing interrupted Dai Mubai impatiently and asked coldly, "Are you not going to find the murderer who killed Rongrong?"

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing's expression did not ease after his words, Dai Mubai choked and could only promise in a sullen tone.

"Okay Zhuqing, I promise you that we will solve the problem of the throne today, and then we will mobilize the power of the Xingluo Empire to find the murderer."

"Besides, the White Tiger lineage is our descendant after all. Letting them ascend the throne again will also be beneficial to our search for someone. Although that guy surnamed Xu appears to be respectful to us, I can vaguely sense that he seems to have some hostility towards us."

"Perhaps due to the difference in strength between the two sides, he doesn't dare to break off relations with us, but no one knows whether this guy will turn a deaf ear to our orders in private."

“Isn’t this normal?”

Zhu Zhuqing was confused: "In a royal family like this, there are so many people secretly scheming against each other. Do you really expect them to worship the White Tiger lineage after they become royals?"

Dai Mubai nodded solemnly: "That's why I want to help the White Tiger lineage regain control of the throne. Even if the Xingguan Sect has no intention of taking action against the White Tiger lineage now, as long as there is this rebellious intention, who knows what will really happen in the future? My White Tiger family has been the orthodox royal family of Xingluo for thousands of years. How can we let others ride on our heads?"

".Whatever you want."

As if knowing that she couldn't persuade the other party, Zhu Zhuqing sighed helplessly: "I only have one request, try to solve this matter in a peaceful way, don't make too much noise, don't hurt innocent people. Remember, we came to the lower world this time to help Rongrong get revenge, not to support the emperor and do whatever he wants by relying on his strength."

"how?"

Dai Mubai looked surprised: "Don't you want our descendants to live a better life?"

"Heh, as early as ten thousand years ago, when my sister and her men chased me to Shrek, I no longer had any feelings for the so-called family. No matter how the situation develops, this is their fate. Unless it is necessary, I don't want to interfere too much."

"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."

Just as the two were talking, a crisp knock on the door suddenly sounded from outside, and then Xu Jiawei's voice was clearly heard.

"Two seniors, I have invited the current Duke of White Tiger."

Hearing this, Dai Mubai stuffed another grape into his mouth and said calmly, "Come in."

The door of the reception room opened, and Xu Jiawei walked in with a young man who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old.

Seeing this scene, Dai Mubai's expression was stunned, and then suddenly became gloomy.

"This is the current Duke of White Tiger?"
