Chapter 256: Winning Over
"Don't be in such a hurry to refuse. This set of Spirit Bones is a Meeting Gift, and their age is all above fifty thousand years."
With that, Wang Teng directly took out six Spirit Bones from his item bar, all between fifty thousand and seventy thousand years old.
These six Spirit Bones were all produced from Sea Soul Beasts, and they were high-grade Spirit Bones from highly venomous Sea Soul Beasts.
Speaking of which, there are many poisonous Spirit Beasts on land, but there are even more in the sea. Some Sea Soul Beasts have stronger venom than land Spirit Beasts.
"Gulp~!"
Looking at the six high-grade Spirit Bones, faintly shimmering with colorful light, Dugu Bo swallowed hard. These Spirit Bones were too tempting! And they were all high-grade Spirit Bones above fifty thousand years, which made Dugu Bo incredibly envious.
He already had a head Spirit Bone and a right arm Spirit Bone, so he could still absorb four more. He was already a Level 93 Titled Douluo, and with the help of four high-grade Spirit Bones, he might not need long to become a Titled Douluo master above Level 95.
Moreover, the remaining two high-grade Spirit Bones could be refined by his beloved granddaughter, Dugu Yan.
Dugu Bo's mind turned slightly, and he immediately bowed to Wang Teng.
"Greetings, City Lord!"
"Haha, good! Welcome, Poison Douluo, to Sky City!"
Although his own side didn't lack top masters, more Titled Douluo were naturally better.
Then, after giving this set of poison-attribute Spirit Bones to Dugu Bo, Wang Teng began to explain his plan to him.
"Since you, Dugu Bo, have joined Sky City, I will now tell you about Sky City's upcoming plan."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
"The day after tomorrow morning, our Sky City will take action against the Heaven Dou Empire, overthrowing the Heaven Dou Empire's tyranny and establishing a new Empire."
"Hiss~!"
Dugu Bo gasped. He knew that Wang Teng bringing so many people to his door this time meant no good.
"City Lord, I was originally a guest Elder of the Heaven Dou Royal Family. Is it not a bit immoral to directly attack the Snow Family now?"
Although Dugu Bo wasn't exactly a good person, he was receiving a salary from the Royal Family's Snow Family. Now, turning around to attack the Snow Family, if word got out, he, Dugu Bo, would have no face to show anyone.
"That's not true. For a tyrannical Empire like the Heaven Dou Empire, which arbitrarily sells its people, you, Dugu Bo, as one of the most prominent Titled Douluo masters on the Continent, have an obligation to petition for the common people and overthrow the Heaven Dou Empire's tyranny."
Wang Teng spoke righteously.
"…"
Dugu Bo's mouth twitched. This new boss seemed to have quite thick skin. He could have just said he coveted the Heaven Dou Empire. Why did he have to say it so grandiosely?
Of course, Dugu Bo didn't dare to directly refute him.
The Heaven Dou Empire lacked top-tier strength. Even if he didn't give Emperor Xue Ye face, he would still live very comfortably. But Wang Teng was different. Not to mention the many masters in Sky City, just Wang Teng alone would be enough to instantly kill him.
"How about this? For your sake, and to avoid putting you in a difficult position, I will not kill the Royal Family's Snow Family after overthrowing the Heaven Dou Empire's tyranny. Furthermore, Dugu Bo, you don't need to directly confront the Royal Family. You just need to cooperate with my Sky City's subordinates to take over the various legions."
Wang Teng said without batting an eye.
He had originally planned to spare the Snow Family. With Wang Teng saying it like this, Dugu Bo almost thought he had a lot of influence!
Although Dugu Bo's strength wasn't very strong, he wasn't stupid. He knew he didn't have that much influence; this was just Wang Teng being polite.
However, Wang Teng's words were very effective. For a living person, face was also very important, especially face given by a top-tier powerhouse like Wang Teng.
"Since the City Lord says so, then this old man will abandon the darkness and turn to the light. I will go to the Imperial Palace today and resign from Emperor Xue Ye."
Dugu Bo decided. Since he would be following Wang Teng from now on, he could only go all the way. Besides, the Heaven Dou Empire had no capital to resist; Sky City was guaranteed to win.
As for resigning today and then attacking his old employer the day after tomorrow? What did that little bit of face matter? Who didn't know that he, Dugu Bo, was the least respected Titled Douluo on the Continent?
At this moment, Dugu Bo was a typical case of giving up completely.
"Very good. This is a communication crystal. You can talk at any time as long as you are on the Continent."
Wang Teng gave Dugu Bo a communication crystal for easy contact.
He recruited Dugu Bo because Wang Teng felt that with Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, taking the lead, it would be easier to take over the Heaven Dou Empire's army.
Aside from the considerable city guard armies in various places, the Heaven Dou Empire also had ten elite legions, totaling a million soldiers. These million elites were the Heaven Dou Empire's true strength.
The thousand Spirit Emperors Sky City had planted were all among these million elite soldiers.
Wang Teng was also a bit worried that his subordinates wouldn't be able to control them, after all, the legion commanders of each legion were Spirit Douluo masters, and there were many high-ranking military officers at the Spirit Saint level. A Titled Douluo had to be dispatched to ensure safety.
After leaving Dugu Bo's mansion, Wang Teng and his group headed to the Elephant Armored Academy.
As one of the Lower Four Sects, the Elephant Armored Academy's overall strength was actually a notch stronger than the current Sacred Dragon Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects. Its Sect residence was located in Elephant Armored City.
Although Elephant Armored City was within the Heaven Dou Empire's territory, it was not under the official jurisdiction of the Heaven Dou Empire, but rather belonged to the Elephant Armored Academy, similar to a state within a state.
Many forces on the Douluo Continent, though called Sects, were actually just Spirit Master families, with most members having blood relations.
However, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was an exception. Because its inherited Spirit was a support system Spirit, regardless of gender, the other half of a member had to have combat power.
Therefore, more than half of the members within the Sect did not have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit. Additionally, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School welcomed talented individuals more than other Sects.
The reason the Elephant Armored Academy wasn't promoted to one of the Upper Three Sects by Bibi Dong before was that the Sacred Dragon Sect had pledged allegiance to Spirit Hall earlier, which was why Bibi Dong supported the Sacred Dragon Sect. However, the positions for the Upper Three Sects were already filled, even if Hu Yan Zhen had broken through to Titled Douluo, there were no more spots.
Outside Elephant Armored City, a spatial passage appeared, and Wang Teng and his group emerged. After entering Elephant Armored City, they went directly to the Elephant Armored Academy's residence.
Wang Teng and his group arrived openly in Elephant Armored City, naturally being discovered by the Elephant Armored Academy disciples guarding the city gate, who immediately reported to Sect Master Hu Yan Zhen.
Wang Teng and the others arrived at the main gate of the Elephant Armored Academy's residence, just in time to meet Hu Yan Zhen and the four Elders of the Elephant Armored Academy, who were preparing to greet them.
The Elephant Armored Academy was actually not weak. Sect Master Hu Yan Zhen was currently a Level 91 Titled Douluo, and the four Elders were all at the Spirit Douluo realm: one Level 88 Spirit Douluo, and the remaining three were slightly lower in level, all below Level 85.
Hu Yan Zhen's pupils constricted as he looked at Natya and the others behind Wang Teng. Good heavens, all the masters from Sky City had come!
"Welcome, Glory Douluo and all the Douluo, to our Elephant Armored Academy as guests! Please come in!"
Because the Elephant Armored Academy was backed by Spirit Hall, and due to the marriage alliance between Sky City and Spirit Hall, Hu Yan Zhen wasn't worried about Wang Teng bringing so many masters to cause trouble. He immediately prepared to invite Wang Teng and his group inside.
"Heavenly Elephant Douluo is too kind!"
Subsequently, everyone arrived at the Elephant Armored Academy's reception hall.
"Allow me to introduce to the City Lord: This is my Elephant Armored Academy's First Elder, Hu Yantai, a Level 88 Spirit Douluo, and also my biological younger brother. This is Second Elder Hu Yan Kui, a Level 84 Spirit Douluo; Third Elder Hu Yan Yu, a Level 83 Spirit Douluo; and Fourth Elder Hu Yan Shen, a Level 81 Spirit Douluo.
Four Elders, this is Glory Douluo, the City Lord of Sky City. These ten are the top powerhouses of Sky City."
Hu Yan Zhen began to introduce everyone.
"Greetings, Your Excellencies!"
The four Elders of the Elephant Armored Academy dared not be negligent and immediately saluted Wang Teng and the others.
"Hmm, no need to be so polite!"
"Heavenly Elephant Douluo, I have important matters to discuss with you today at the Elephant Armored Academy."
Wang Teng didn't waste words and spoke directly.
"Oh? May I ask what important matter Glory Douluo has? As long as my Elephant Armored Academy can do it, we will certainly comply!"
Hu Yan Zhen quickly patted his broad chest to guarantee. He knew clearly that Wang Teng was not only the son-in-law of his superior, Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong, but also the grandson-in-law of Spirit Hall's High Priest Qian Daoliu. Furthermore, Sky City's strength was incredibly powerful. He hadn't expected that there would be a day when they would need his Elephant Armored Academy?
"I hope the Elephant Armored Academy can join Sky City."
"Uh, Glory Douluo, the Elephant Armored Academy already belongs to Spirit Hall."
Hu Yan Zhen hadn't expected Wang Teng to set his sights on the Elephant Armored Academy. But what was going on? The son-in-law was poaching from his mother-in-law?
"That's fine. I will speak with Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong. I imagine she won't object, so the Elephant Armored Academy need not have any concerns.
Furthermore, Sky City is about to take over the Heaven Dou Empire. I have discussed it with her, and all Spirit Hall affiliates within Heaven Dou territory who are willing to join Sky City will be incorporated into the new Empire. Those unwilling to join will leave Heaven Dou territory."
"This, this~"
Hu Yan Zhen was shocked. He wasn't shocked that Sky City was taking action against the Heaven Dou Empire, but rather that Bibi Dong was giving such a vast foundation of Spirit Hall within the Heaven Dou Empire's territory to Sky City for free. He hadn't expected Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong to be so generous?
"Does the Elephant Armored Academy wish to join Sky City? If the Elephant Armored Academy joins, I can allow Elder Hu Yantai to advance to Titled Douluo."
Glancing at Hu Yan Zhen, Wang Teng laid out his terms.
The Elephant Armored Academy was relatively united. Hu Yan Zhen himself was the head of the Elephant Armored Academy, and after advancing to Titled Douluo, his word carried even more weight. As long as Hu Yan Zhen agreed, the Elephant Armored Academy would naturally be acquired.
Among the four Elders, First Elder Hu Yantai would certainly be willing, as no one didn't want to become a Titled Douluo. As for the remaining three Elders, their say wasn't as significant.
As soon as Wang Teng spoke, First Elder Hu Yantai's eyes immediately became fervent, and he looked at his Elder brother.
Hu Yan Zhen naturally felt his younger brother Hu Yantai's fervent gaze. Although Wang Teng, the City Lord of Sky City, was Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong's son-in-law, they were ultimately two different forces, making the decision somewhat difficult.
