Chapter 115 Four Sects vs. Four Hall Masters
After these words were spoken, the Star Luo guards behind Davis could no longer hold back.
They stood up suddenly, their soul power burst out instantly, and they stared at Lin Xiao fiercely.
Insulting the Crown Prince and even wanting to detain the Crown Princess is a naked provocation to the Xingluo Empire!
However, just as they were gaining momentum, an even more terrifying pressure swept over from the side.
Dugu Bo, who was sitting not far away, just raised his eyelids slightly, and a cold light flashed in his emerald green pupils.
Those guards, who were only at the Soul Saint level at most, were suddenly hit hard by this huge soul power pressure. Their faces turned pale and they could not even stand steadily, let alone take action.
Dugu Bo snorted coldly, and the momentum in the hall disappeared in an instant.
Davis was even more shocked and angry when he saw the guards were easily suppressed.
"Lin Xiao! What do you mean?!"
"Does your Dragon Soul Sect intend to become an enemy of our Xingluo Empire?"
However, before Lin Xiao could speak, "Xue Qinghe" who was sitting on the other side stood up leisurely.
"Davis! Lin Xiao is the Marquis of Tianwei, personally appointed by the Emperor Xue Ye of the Tiandou Empire. If you want to start a war."
"Then I, Xue Qinghe, declare on behalf of the Tiandou Empire that I am ready to fight you at any time!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the hall.
Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had made his position clear, the representatives of the sects and nobles belonging to the Tiandou Empire stood up and echoed his words.
"Your Highness is right! To humiliate Marquis Tianwei is to become an enemy of Tiandou!"
"Does the Xingluo Empire really think that we, Tiandou, have no one?"
"Support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Support Sect Leader Lin!"
For a moment, the crowd was excited and the criticism was directed at Davis and his group.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Davis' forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat.
He was not afraid of the people in front of him, but he was clearly aware that he had caused a huge disaster this time!
Using Zhu Zhuyun as collateral? That would bring complete disgrace to the Xingluo Imperial Family, and his father would definitely not forgive him!
But 200 million gold soul coins...that's almost half a year's fiscal revenue for the Xingluo Empire!
Their Dai family is not the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and the empire still has a huge army to support!
Davis was well aware of the fierce competition within the Xingluo royal family. If this matter was not handled properly, his position as crown prince would be in jeopardy.
Having lost his position as the crown prince, the only thing waiting for him is death!
The strong desire to survive instantly overwhelmed the so-called dignity of the prince.
Under the gazes of countless people, Davis' mind raced, his legs softened, and with a "thump", he actually knelt straight down towards Lin Xiao!
"Sect Master Lin! I'm sorry! It's my fault! I shouldn't have humiliated you and the Dragon Soul Sect!"
"Please be magnanimous and forgive me this time!"
As he said this, he actually started to kowtow.
However, Lin Xiao looked at Davis, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing continuously, with his eyes still cold and without any emotion.
How could he let someone off easily without paying a sufficient price if he dared to cause trouble at his founding ceremony?
He didn't even look at Davis again, and turned around to give the order calmly.
"Xiao Zhan, it seems that Crown Prince Xingluo can't afford the wine for the time being."
"Take your men and invite Princess Xingluo to the inner hall and entertain her well."
"Then send Prince Davis and the others away, and ask him to return home as soon as possible to raise money. Don't delay too long."
"Yes, Sect Master!" Xiao Zhan immediately bowed and accepted the order.
He then called on Yang Wudi and others to step forward immediately, lift Davis from the ground, and "send" him and his guards out of the hall.
The others walked towards Zhu Zhuyun.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuyun was completely confused, with her head buzzing.
She couldn't understand why she got herself involved when she just followed Davis out to attend a ceremony and see the scene.
Two hundred million gold soul coins...she became collateral?
Even when she was held on both sides by several Dragon Soul Sect disciples and walked towards the inner hall, she still looked distraught and in disbelief.
However, before one problem is solved, another one arises. A new sect is established and wants to replace one of the three previous sects. It is destined that things will not go smoothly.
Before Lin Xiao even had time to sit down again, a high-pitched voice full of energy once again resounded throughout the Dragon God Temple like thunder.
"The leader of the Xiangjia Sect, Hu Yanzhen!"
"The leader of the Wind Sword Sect, Feng Bailong!"
"The leader of the Fire Leopard Sect, the Fire Leopard!"
"The leader of the Sparrow Bee Sect, Ye Lingshuang!"
"I've come specially to congratulate the Dragon Soul Sect on its founding ceremony!"
Along with this series of announcements, four figures strode in from outside the palace gate.
The leader was an extremely burly man. He was none other than Hu Yanzhen, the leader of the Xiangjia Sect, known for its defense and also known as "Celestial Phenomenon".
The three people following behind him also had extraordinary auras, and it was obvious that they were all the leaders of a sect.
Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the four uninvited "guests" with a serious expression.
Huyan Zhen's eyes swept across the hall and finally stopped at Lin Xiao who was sitting in the main seat. He didn't even exchange too many pleasantries and went straight to the point.
"Sect Master Lin, congratulations to the Dragon Soul Sect on its founding!"
"The four sects of ours have come here specially to prepare four 20,000-year-old soul bones as gifts!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was another commotion in the hall. Four twenty-thousand-year soul bones, this was no small amount.
However, Hu Yanzhen's next words made everyone understand that this "gift" was not so easy to get.
"However, I heard that the Dragon Soul Sect has established four new branches, and they are very famous."
"We four sects are not talented, but we each have our own support, so we are so bold as to ask for some advice from the four hall masters of Sect Master Lin!"
"If your Dragon Soul Sect wins, we will offer these four 20,000-year-old soul bones to you without hesitation!"
"But if... you lose! Then please ask Sect Master Lin to reclaim the title of 'Top Three Sects'!"
"The glory of the three upper sects cannot be supported by just two Titled Douluo His Majesties!"
On the Dragon King's throne, Lin Xiao frowned slightly.
He knew that these four sects had secretly defected to the Spirit Hall during this period of time.
Is his current appearance at the instigation of Bibi Dong, or is it simply a challenge to the sect?
For a moment, Lin Xiao was a little unsure.
But since the other party has said so much, and offered soul bones as a reward in the name of challenging the four hall masters, if he does not accept it, he will be at a disadvantage and appear cowardly of the Dragon Soul Sect.
Lin Xiao's gaze swept across Xiao Zhan, Yang Wudi, Bai He, and Niu Gao beside him. The four hall masters all had fighting spirit in their eyes, and it was obvious that they did not take the challenge seriously.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao had already made a decision in his heart.
"My Dragon Soul Sect accepts this challenge!"
"Dear guests! Please follow me to the sect's fighting spirit arena to watch the battle!"
Following Lin Xiao's order, the entire Dragon Soul Sect immediately began to operate efficiently.
Many Dragon Soul Sect disciples dressed in uniform moved quickly, guiding the guests to the huge open-air fighting spirit arena located behind the main hall.
