After hearing Jiang Mo's report, Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment and finally decided to meet the so-called foreign Super Douluo.
Just as Qian Jun Jiang Mo had expected, Qian Daoliu placed great importance on the arrival of the three Titled Combat Douluo, thinking that if their origins were legitimate, they should stay in the Spirit Empire.
The Spirit Empire had been through many wars recently and had lost too many Titled Elders. Only two replacements remained, leaving their combat power severely lacking.
"Jiang Mo, please invite them to the reception room. Remember to be respectful."
"Yes."
Qian Daoliu put away the documents on the table, arrived at the reception room first, brewed tea, and waited for the guests to arrive.
When he saw Xu Zilong enter, he immediately understood that the foreign Super Douluo before him was clearly not of simple status.
With hundreds of years of experience and having met many people, Qian Daoliu could tell that the purple-haired man before him was definitely someone of high status in his land, with final decision-making power.
He could see the hidden pride behind Xu Zilong's respectful demeanor, and the two Titled Douluo beside him seemed slightly fearful when facing him.
"Angel Douluo, I've heard much about you. I am Xu Zilong."
"I heard you're from overseas?"
"Correct. All of us are from an unnamed island overseas. We are here to discuss something important with you."
"Go ahead, speak."
Facing Qian Daoliu's sharp eyes, Xu Zilong shared a fabricated origin story he had long prepared, portraying himself as a victim.
"Senior, our Xu family has lived overseas for generations. We've always been kind to our neighbors and never oppressed others.
We never expected the evil Star Crown Sect to invade our territory and rob us of our most treasured item.
Knowing we weren't strong enough to retaliate, we came here upon hearing of the Spirit Empire's reputation, daring to ask you for justice."
"Oh~, the Star Crown Sect is indeed the most evil existence on our Douluo Continent. They went so far as to rob your most treasured item—how vile!
We in the Spirit Empire hate them the most. They've captured two of our Titled Elders and still haven't released them."
The two acted polite for a long time, but Xu Zilong could no longer bear this equal and even slightly condescending attitude.
Since youth, he had always been the one with the final say. After becoming Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire, no one dared oppose him. He hadn't felt this kind of humiliation in decades.
"Angel Douluo, let's make it clear. The other two Titled Douluo and I can join the Spirit Empire, but we have one condition."
"You may speak it."
"We want to kill the current Star Luo Emperor—Xu Mingxi."
…
The atmosphere turned awkward for a moment. Qian Daoliu opened his mouth slightly, unsure whether to admire Xu Zilong's boldness or hate his ignorance.
If Xu Mingxi were so easy to kill, he would've been eliminated long ago. When it became clear he was a hidden threat, he was already protected by the Xingguan Sect. Now, having become an Unrivaled Douluo, how could he be dealt with so easily?
And honestly, Xu Zilong wasn't worth putting against Xu Mingxi for him.
"You probably don't know much since you've just arrived on the Douluo Continent. Xu Mingxi is now not only the Star Luo Emperor, but also a Level 99 Unrivaled Douluo. It's not that we don't want to destroy the Star Crown Sect, it's just that our strength is… damn..."
Level 99? Xu Zilong was stunned. He never expected Xu Mingxi to grow so fast. It had only been a short time—how was this possible?
Yes, it must be because of the Sun and Moon God's inheritance. If Xu Mingxi had obtained it, he might already be an Unrivaled Douluo—or even a god.
Xu Zilong's eyes turned red with jealousy. As the jealousy faded, emptiness set in. Did he have no hope of reclaiming the inheritance?
No, absolutely not. Even if he couldn't obtain the inheritance of the Sun and Moon God, Xu Mingxi must not become a god so easily. As long as Unrivaled Douluo continued to battle, he would still have a chance.
Xu Zilong sipped the now-cold tea, calmed himself, then turned to look at the composed Qian Daoliu beside him.
"Angel Douluo, there's something you may not know. The treasure we lost is extremely important—it's even related to the legacy of your Spirit Empire."
"Oh~, Xu Mingxi actually stole something that important? I'll definitely help you retrieve it if I get the chance."
Qian Daoliu didn't quite believe it and almost wanted to laugh. Was Xu Zilong just trying to spark his greed over some artifact? How ridiculous.
A remote island—though fairly large—produced someone like Xu Zilong, but what kind of treasure could it really have?
The predecessor of the Spirit Empire, the Spirit Hall, had stood on the Douluo Continent for tens of thousands of years. How could a backwater islander know anything about divine relics?
"What if the item is a god's inheritance?"
Xu Zilong's casual words made Qian Daoliu crush the teacup in his hand, eyes wide in shock. A god's inheritance—this was no joke.
A powerful pressure erupted instantly, enveloping Xu Zilong and the other two. Xu Yang and Xu Yin tried to resist but couldn't move at all.
Only Xu Zilong frowned slightly, seemingly unaffected. He calmly looked at Qian Daoliu, as if the shocking words earlier had come from someone else.
"Xu Zilong, can you take responsibility for your words? A god's inheritance is not something ordinary people can touch."
"Of course, Senior. Have you never wondered why Xu Mingxi's cultivation progressed so quickly?
It's because he stole the godly inheritance from the Xu family—and not just one, but two."
"Two? That's impossible. How can someone receive the inheritance of two gods at the same time?"
Qian Daoliu couldn't believe Xu Zilong's words. It was a divine blessing for a soul master to receive even one god's inheritance. How could two gods share their legacies so easily?
Then, Xu Zilong lifted the pressure from Xu Yang and Xu Yin, allowing them to release their martial spirits. Silver sun and moonlight filled the reception room.
"Senior, do you think these two martial spirits look familiar? What Xu Mingxi stole from us was the inheritance of the Sun God and Moon God."
Yes, Xu Mingxi clearly had the Star Crown martial spirit, yet he could use both sunlight and moonlight—and was immensely powerful. He may very well have inherited both the Sun and Moon Gods.
Qian Daoliu sat frozen in his chair, mind in chaos. He had never anticipated such a situation.
