Chapter 255: Stay or Not?
"One month isn't enough. Let's meet halfway and set a two-month limit. Within the next two months, I will have Spirit Hall personnel withdraw from the Heaven Dou Empire."
Bibi Dong thought for a moment and said.
"Alright, but you cannot forcibly take away all of Spirit Hall's people. It must be on a voluntary basis. Additionally, Spirit Hall personnel must not use these two months to plunder wealth within the Heaven Dou Empire.
Furthermore, this two-month limit can be calculated from when my Sky City makes its move against the Heaven Dou Empire."
If Wang Teng hadn't mentioned it beforehand, many Spirit Hall members would have definitely tried to make a fortune before leaving, plundering extensively.
Moreover, Wang Teng was also afraid that Bibi Dong would give a direct order, forcing all Spirit Hall Spirit Masters to withdraw from the Heaven Dou Empire. If that happened, Wang Teng really wouldn't be able to find so many low-level Spirit Masters in a short time to awaken Spirits for all age-appropriate children within the Empire.
"Good, it's settled then!"
Bibi Dong nodded, agreeing to Wang Teng's request.
There was no other way. Sky City's strength was now greater than Spirit Hall's, and Bibi Dong was happy to see Sky City annex Spirit Hall.
Although Bibi Dong's relationship with Qian Renxue had eased, she hadn't forgotten the hatred Qian Xunji had brought upon her. Since Wang Teng could allow Sky City to annex Spirit Hall in the future, it was a disguised way of achieving her goal of leading Spirit Hall to its demise.
As for herself? Her wish was about to be fulfilled, and she would also be able to inherit the Rakshasa position in the future, which was a high and mighty Divinity. The Supreme Pontiff position of Spirit Hall was gone, and she wouldn't feel it was a pity.
After Wang Teng and Bibi Dong reached an agreement on the arrangement for Spirit Hall in the Heaven Dou Empire, Wang Teng left the Supreme Pontiff Palace and returned to Sky City.
In the evening, Qian Renxue returned.
Ever since Qian Renxue began the Angel God Test, she basically went to the Angel Secret Realm for the God Test during the day and returned to Sky City at night, where the two of them would also clear vice copies together.
"Little Xue'er, in ten days, Sky City will make its move against the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Huh? So soon?"
Qian Renxue hadn't expected Wang Teng to prepare to move against the Heaven Dou Empire so quickly.
"Yes, everything that needs to be prepared is almost ready."
Qian Renxue thought for a moment, then spoke with a hint of hesitation.
"Then, husband, can you spare Princess Xue Ke?"
Among the Heaven Dou Royal Family, Qian Renxue didn't care about the others, but Princess Xue Ke was an exception.
In her early years, when Qian Renxue was undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire, it was her sister Princess Xue Ke who made her experience kinship other than from Qian Daoliu. Qian Renxue cherished this greatly, so she wanted to protect Princess Xue Ke.
"Princess Xue Ke? In that case, I can't eliminate the Heaven Dou Royal Family."
After thinking about it, if he eliminated the Heaven Dou Royal Family and left only Princess Xue Ke, she probably wouldn't live long. After all, for a young girl, Wang Teng killing her entire family would be a huge blow.
Wang Teng was actually still considering whether to keep the Heaven Dou Royal Family.
Keeping the Heaven Dou Royal Family and having the Heaven Dou Empire army surrender in the name of Emperor Xue Ye would undoubtedly make it easier for Sky City to control the Heaven Dou Empire. However, if the Heaven Dou Royal Family remained, the Snow Family would definitely harbor resentment in the future, which would be a minor problem.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Teng made his choice.
"Alright, except for the Lightning Douluo of the Royal Family, I won't eliminate the Heaven Dou Royal Family. However, after taking control of the Heaven Dou Empire, I will send the Heaven Dou Royal Family to Spirit City, so they can never leave Spirit City in this lifetime!"
After a change of dynasty, even if the former royal family was not killed, they would be placed under house arrest to prevent them from rising again.
Of course, with the Snow Family's Swan Spirit, there was no hope for that.
Even with the vast resources of an Empire, the Snow Family only produced one Titled Douluo, and that was due to a Spirit mutation. Without vast resources in the future, it would be very difficult for the Snow Family to even produce a Spirit Douluo.
However, although Wang Teng did not intend to eliminate the entire Snow Family, the Snow Family's only Titled Douluo absolutely had to be eliminated. After all, if a Titled Douluo sought revenge and engaged in guerrilla warfare, the destructive power would be considerable.
Moreover, eliminating that Lightning Douluo would also make the Snow Family extinguish any improper thoughts.
Additionally, Wang Teng's father, Wang Chengkun, had, after all, followed Xue Ye for a period of time. If he directly eliminated Xue Ye, it wouldn't sound good if word got out.
In fact, Wang Chengkun did not want to oppose Xue Ye, but unfortunately, it was his own son who was rebelling. Comparing the two, his own son was naturally closer, so he certainly couldn't oppose his own son.
Of course, Wang Chengkun would also not attack the Heaven Dou Empire. After all, there were many former colleagues in the Heaven Dou Empire's military. And Wang Teng didn't rely on his own parents; the top-tier strength of Sky City's ten Titled Douluo was already sufficient.
"Will this make things difficult for you?"
Qian Renxue turned her head and asked Wang Teng.
"Whether the Snow Family stays or not doesn't make much difference. If it were a top-tier Spirit like the Clear Sky Hammer, then it naturally couldn't be kept. But the Swan Spirit, I'm not looking down on it, but it's just so-so. In the future, they won't even have the ability to rebel."
Wang Teng said with a slight disdain.
"Alright then, but do you need my help? I am now a Level 94 Titled Douluo, and I can also mobilize personnel from the Elder Palace faction."
Originally, before Qian Renxue began the Angel God Test, she was a Level 92 Titled Douluo. However, during this period, after the tempering of the God Test and absorbing another Angel Spirit Bone, her spirit power level had already reached Level 94 Titled Douluo.
"No need. My little Xue'er's most important task is to become the new Angel God."
Whether Qian Renxue joined or not didn't have much of an impact; Sky City did not lack high-end combat power. Moreover, Wang Teng didn't plan to rely on Spirit Hall for everything, otherwise, wouldn't he be a kept man?
"Alright!"
Qian Renxue nodded. Since Wang Teng was confident, there was no need for Spirit Hall to act as support.
A week later, Wang Teng was helping with the preparations before the rebellion. Early that morning, Wang Teng called Natya and the other ten to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Greetings, City Lord."
"Alright, according to the plan, we will make our move against the Heaven Dou Empire the day after tomorrow. However, before that, we must deal with the forces that have Titled Douluo guarding them.
First is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects, then the Elephant Armored Academy, and also Dugu Bo, who is a rogue Spirit Master."
Wang Teng would not allow Titled Douluo-level enemies to appear within his territory. They had to be dealt with before taking down the Heaven Dou Empire.
Dugu Bo was simple; he believed that with a combination of coercion and enticement, he could be persuaded to join Sky City. As for the Elephant Armored Academy, they were Bibi Dong's people. Either the Elephant Armored Academy would relocate outside Heaven Dou territory in the future, or they would switch allegiance to Sky City.
As for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, if they didn't surrender, then they could only be annihilated. Wang Teng would not let the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan be out of his control.
The Elephant Armored Academy having the option to relocate was due to their association with Spirit Hall; the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan did not have this treatment.
"Today, we will first deal with Dugu Bo and the Elephant Armored Academy. Tomorrow, we will go to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Subsequently, on the teleportation altar, Wang Teng opened a spatial passage leading to a secluded residence within Heaven Dou City, which Wang Teng had long ago arranged for someone to purchase.
Leaving this residence, the group headed directly to Dugu Bo's mansion.
Before coming, Wang Teng had already used the detection crystal ball to investigate. Dugu Bo had returned from Spirit City and was not with the main contingent of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Outside Dugu Bo's mansion, the guards saw the group of eleven approaching and were about to step forward to question them, but then they recognized Wang Teng and Natya.
"Greetings, Mianxia Radiance, Mianxia Natya, Spirit of War."
"Yes, we are looking for Dugu Bo."
"Yes, please come in, Mianxia and all sirs!"
Dugu Bo was also an old hand; he had given instructions long ago that if a Titled Douluo visited, they should be directly led into the mansion. As for visitors below Titled Douluo, they needed to wait outside the gate, depending on his mood.
The group had just arrived in the main hall and sat down for a short while when Dugu Bo arrived.
Hearing his subordinates report that Wang Teng and Natya were visiting, Dugu Bo dared not neglect them and immediately rushed over.
Upon entering the main hall, Dugu Bo's pupils constricted. Good heavens, all of Sky City's Titled Douluo were actually here. What was going on?
The guards only recognized Wang Teng and Natya, but Dugu Bo had been to Sky City during the last wedding banquet, so he naturally recognized the others.
Although he didn't know why Wang Teng had brought so many experts from Sky City, despite his doubts, Dugu Bo suppressed the shock in his heart and immediately greeted them.
"Greetings to everyone from Sky City. I apologize for not welcoming the City Lord's visit sooner!"
"Dugu Bo, I came today to discuss something with you."
Taking a sip of tea, Wang Teng directly got to the point.
"Oh? You all may leave first!"
Dugu Bo was curious. What did Wang Teng want to discuss with him? Nevertheless, he dismissed the servants in the main hall.
Subsequently, Wang Teng directly set up a spirit power barrier to prevent any information from leaking out.
Watching Wang Teng's actions, Dugu Bo immediately felt that something big was amiss.
Even Wang Teng was being so cautious, so it must really be something important. For a behemoth like Sky City, if he had a choice, he really didn't want to get involved with such a major affair with his old bones.
Unfortunately, now that Wang Teng had brought so many people to his door, he was unable to refuse.
Dugu Bo's thoughts were correct. Wang Teng bringing so many subordinates was naturally a ploy to intimidate him. Additionally, if Dugu Bo truly refused, he would simply eliminate him.
"Dugu Bo, I see you as a talented individual. Would you like to join Sky City?"
Wang Teng said indifferently.
"This~!"
Dugu Bo was a bit conflicted. After all, he was a Titled Douluo. Even if he didn't join a major power, he could still live very comfortably. No matter where he went, who wouldn't respectfully address him as Mianxia?
If he joined Sky City, he wouldn't have that much freedom.
