Therefore, what Spirit Hall needs to do now is to win over the large Spirit Master families and Sects on the Douluo Continent.
Eliminate the Upper Three Sects, then control the kingdoms near the central part of the Two Great Empires, and establish the Spirit Empire based on these kingdoms, then they can launch a war to unify the Douluo Continent!
These matters have already begun to be discussed and prepared, but it has not yet been decided who will carry them out.
And Lin Yu planned to take on the task of subduing and incorporating the various Spirit Master families and Sects. He said with a confident expression, "Yes, Teacher."
"Although I now possess strength comparable to a Titled Douluo, I also lack experience in battling different powerhouses."
"Therefore, I want to take on this matter, challenge the patriarchs of the various Spirit Master families and the Sect Masters of the Sects on the Douluo Continent, and exchange blows with them. This is also a good form of tempering for me."
Up to now, Lin Yu had only fought against Tuoba Xi, a Spirit Douluo, alongside Qian Renxue.
Other than that, he had never fought against other Spirit Douluo level powerhouses. His experience in battles with this level of powerhouse was indeed not much. If he could fight more Spirit Douluo powerhouses, it would definitely be of great help to his growth.
Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment and decided, "Hmm, fighting more powerhouses on the Douluo Continent will indeed be of great help to your growth. Alright then, I will inform the high-ranking officials of Spirit Hall and have you handle this task."
"Thank you, Teacher!" Lin Yu cupped his hands.
Qian Daoliu's eyes instantly became sharper, and he solemnly reminded him, "Xiao Yu, in any change of dynasty, change of era, the demise of an Empire, or the rise and unification of a dynasty, there will inevitably be bloodshed."
"Spirit Hall will unify the Douluo Continent in the future. If those people cannot be used by us, they will become our enemies in the future."
"On this matter, Teacher hopes that at critical moments, you must not be soft-hearted."
Qian Daoliu's meaning was that if they refused, then they would be suppressed by force.
"Teacher, I understand." Lin Yu responded solemnly.
On this matter, he naturally wouldn't be soft-hearted, because as Qian Daoliu said, if they couldn't join Spirit Hall, they might become part of the Empire's forces in the future.
When Spirit Hall launched a war, they would become enemies.
Mercy to enemies is cruelty to oneself.
Soon, this matter was decided and would be handled by Lin Yu of the Hall of Judgment.
The next day, early morning.
Lin Yu was fully prepared and began his journey to travel the Douluo Continent again to subdue the various Spirit MasterSects and families.
"All personnel of the Hall of Judgment, listen to my command! Follow me!"
"Yes, Hall Master!"
With Lin Yu's command, he led a hundred Spirit Masters from the Hall of Judgment and Dugu Bo, departing from Spirit City.
"Xue'er Jie, I'm leaving. You just wait for the assessment to arrive with peace of mind. I will return!"
Outside Spirit City, Lin Yu looked back at the tall Hall of Offerings in the city, then rode away on a fine warhorse.
"Lin Yu, where are we going first on this trip?" Dugu Bo asked.
"The Four Lower Sects of the Seven Great Sects, and the relatively powerful Spirit Master families and Sects on the Douluo Continent, are almost all within the Star Luo Empire. Let's go to the Star Luo Empire first and then enter the Heaven Dou Empire." Lin Yu said.
Currently, among the Four Lower Sects, the Sacred Dragon Sect belongs to Spirit Hall, leaving the Fire Leopard Sect, Wind Sword Sect, and Elephant Armored Academy.
Besides the Four Lower Sects, there are actually many Sects at the same level as the Four Lower Sects, such as the Black Tiger Sect, Rock Antelope Sect, Sparrow Bee Sect, and the four single-attribute great families: Agility, Defense, Strength, and Breaking.
In addition to these, there are many Sects and families on the Douluo Continent that are close to this level and of considerable scale. These are all among Lin Yu's targets.
And the first stop for Lin Yu would be the Fire Leopard Sect, one of the Four Lower Sects of the Seven Great Sects, and the weakest in strength!
A few days later.
The territory of the Fire Leopard Sect.
Lin Yu led the forces of the Hall of Judgment and arrived with great momentum!
At this moment, the disciples guarding the Fire Leopard Sect immediately became alert: "Who goes there!"
"I am Lin Yu of Spirit Hall!"
Lin Yu's domineering voice echoed boundlessly: "Let your Sect Master come to see me!"
"What! It's actually Lin Yu of the Hall of Judgment!"
"Quick! Report to the Sect Master!"
The disciples of the Fire Leopard Sect immediately went to report and very sensibly opened the Sect gate to let Lin Yu and his group enter the Sect: "Please, Hall Master, enter first!"
"Enter the Sect!"
Lin Yu, with imposing aura, led the way into the Fire Leopard Sect.
In less than a few minutes, the Sect Master of the Fire Leopard Sect and several Elders rushed over.
"Hall Master of the Hall of Judgment, we apologize for not greeting you sooner!"
"I am Huo Yuntian, Sect Master of the Fire Leopard Sect. Greetings, Hall Master of the Hall of Judgment!" Huo Yuntian hurriedly led several SectElders and respectfully bowed, asking with some unease, "May I ask, Hall Master, why have you suddenly visited my Fire Leopard Sect?"
Lin Yu slowly walked in front of the Sect Master of the Fire Leopard Sect and said directly without hesitation, "I want your Fire Leopard Sect to submit to my Spirit Hall."
"What!" Huo Yuntian's face changed drastically.
He was quite shrewd. The following words might not be suitable for ordinary disciples to hear, so he immediately shouted, "Aside from the Elders! All Fire Leopard Sect disciples retreat five hundred meters away!"
"Hehe." Lin Yu chuckled in his heart and said again, "Sect Master, don't worry, you are only temporarily submitting to Spirit Hall. After my Spirit Hall unifies the Douluo Continent in the future, your Fire Leopard Sect will still be an independent Sect."
"This! You! You mean...!" Huo Yuntian was greatly alarmed.
These words had already made him understand what Spirit Hall wanted to do and their intention for the Fire Leopard Sect to surrender.
"Indeed, if the Sect Master is willing to lead the Fire Leopard Sect to help my Spirit Hall unify the Douluo Continent, Spirit Hall will certainly not mistreat your Fire Leopard Sect in the future."
The Sect Master of the Fire Leopard Sect said in a deep voice, "What if I refuse?"
"I hope the Sect Master can go with the flow, but if you insist on refusing, I can hardly guarantee that the Fire Leopard Sect will not decline from this." Lin Yu said with a harmless expression.
But these words made Huo Yuntian and the several Elders' moods sink to rock bottom.
"Hall Master Lin Yu! Don't forget, my Fire Leopard Sect is one of the Seven Great Sects after all!" Huo Yuntian said with a grim expression, his words agitated, and the atmosphere instantly became tense and heavy.
His words seemed strong, telling Lin Yu that their Fire Leopard Sect was not something that could be easily threatened, but he was already extremely panicked in his heart.
Because Huo Yuntian knew very well that if Spirit Hall really wanted to suppress them by force, their Fire Leopard Sect would not be able to resist at all.
"Hehe, Seven Great Sects." Lin Yu chuckled disdainfully in his heart.
To be honest, among the Seven Great Sects, besides the Upper Three Sects, the Four Lower Sects were all forces that Spirit Hall could easily disdain and destroy.
But he also didn't completely strip the Fire Leopard Sect of its dignity. Lin Yu would try his best not to use threatening or coercive methods if he could avoid them.
He said, "How about this, Sect Master of the Fire Leopard Sect? If you can defeat me, Spirit Hall will no longer disturb the Fire Leopard Sect. If you cannot defeat me, then your Fire Leopard Sect will submit to my Spirit Hall! How about it?"
