Douluo: Emperor of Light

The fiefdom of the Campbell family is located in Maple Leaf Town. It can even be said that it was precisely because of the existence of this family that the town was successfully established.

More than 100 years ago, the ancestors of the Campbell family successfully broke through to the Soul King. At the same time, they took advantage of the dispute between the Soul Palace and the Star Luo Empire at that time and successfully obtained a fiefdom in Koinol City.

It was just a barren land at that time. Thanks to the prosperity of trade, it began to develop slowly over a long period of time.

Therefore, in Maple Leaf Town and the six villages under its jurisdiction, in this small land, the Campbell family can be said to be a local bully.

At this time, in the attic of the family building, an old man and a young man were sitting on a cool pavilion, playing chess leisurely.

There is clear black and white on the chessboard, and the two hands make moves from time to time. The young chess players are either meditating or astonished when faced with the skills of their elders.

The old man slowly figured it out and was very calm. It wasn't until another piece fell that the young chess player realized that unknowingly, he had lost all the games.

"This...Grandpa, your skills are still superb. My grandson is really ashamed of himself."

The young chess player smiled helplessly, put the chess pieces back in his hands, and admitted defeat calmly.

The old man nodded gently, held his gray beard, and said:

"Liang Li, although the art of chess is vast and profound, it is not the mainstream after all. You should not indulge in it. Just chatting for comfort in your spare time is enough."

Liang Li nodded, with some sigh in his tone: "Grandpa's reminder, I will always remember that in this world, soul masters are still the main ones."

The old man nodded with satisfaction. He loved this grandson from the bottom of his heart.

He has general knowledge about advancement and retreat, and has a clear judgment on the situation. The most important thing is that the soul master's talent is very outstanding.

This is simply a God-given opportunity for the Campbell family to revive again.

Therefore, the family has been fully supporting Liang Li, using various resources and connections without hesitation, and it has finally played a very good role now.

"This time, in order for you to join the Xingguan Sect, the family has exhausted its resources and damaged its foundation, so it can only collect the donation fee of [-] gold soul coins."

"Although it is only a peripheral quota, it is enough. If our ancestors had not been kind to a descendant of the Star Crown Sect, we would not have even this opportunity."

The old man was playing with the chess pieces and talking, and his words began to become deeper.

In order to open the way to the Xingguan Sect and pay for the grandson's worship, the family plundered the wealth in the territory with an almost expropriating attitude.

All kinds of dishonorable methods were used one after another, and coupled with the strange and chaotic situation in the city, they were able to collect these golden soul coins.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a strain on one's muscles and bones. If the ideal return cannot be exchanged, then the decline of the Campbell family can already be seen.

"Grandpa, don't worry. After joining the Star Crown Sect, I am destined to break through the Soul Emperor and even reach a higher level. The family's current choice will not be wrong!"

Liang Li noticed the worry hidden in his grandfather's eyes, stood up immediately, and assured him extremely seriously and decisively.

He knew exactly what his grandfather was doing to achieve this level of dedication. Not only because he had this talent, but more importantly, he was his grandson.

This was the fundamental reason why he ignored the opposition of several clan elders, fought against everyone's opinions, and spared no effort to support himself.

After hearing Liang Li's words, the old man smiled happily.

After such a long time, he finally put the chessboard in order.

In the days to come, maybe we can really be more relaxed and leisurely.

At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside, attracting the attention of the two people.

When the old man and Liang Li were chatting here, he had already told the guards in advance not to disturb him if there was nothing important.

In this case, it couldn't be that the guards didn't understand the rules, it should be that something special happened and they couldn't make the decision and couldn't delay.

But this time, Liang Li guessed wrong. The matter seemed to be more important than he guessed, because the person who came was not the family's guard.

Not long after, a smart, capable, clean and tidy housekeeper came to the two of them with a happy face.

After bending down and bowing, the housekeeper said excitedly: "Master, this is a great thing!"

"The Northern Governor of the Star Luo Empire sent his accompanying secretary and brought a document and certificate, saying that he wants to make you a baron!"

"He said that as long as you go to the Northern Province, His Excellency the Marquis is even willing to personally hold a canonization ceremony for you and declare everyone in the empire!"

The elderly head of the family opened his eyes in surprise when he heard this.

He was not dazzled by the superficial benefits. Although the canonization of the Baron would allow them to transform from earth tyrants to true Marquises of Baili, it also meant that they would completely surrender to the Star Luo Empire.

Although he obtained a real title, he also completely lost the opportunity to move around.

This kind of crude inducement is unusual.

It was like showing his final price and letting them choose and slaughter him. This method was not in line with the stingy style of the Marquis and Governor.

"Grandpa, it seems that the Star Luo Empire is planning to take this opportunity to test the Spirit Hall."

After Liang Li thought for a moment, he was confident that he could see through everything and grasp the next trend.

"Oh? Tell me what you think."

The old man, the head of the family, was thoughtful and nodded, indicating for him to continue.

Liang Li did not shy away from the housekeeper and analyzed it calmly.

"There are only a few titled Douluo on the mainland, very few."

"And Wuhun Palace has lost three titled Douluo in the past two years, and its strength and reputation have dropped significantly. It is no longer enough to deter the Star Luo Empire, which is ready to expand."

"At the same time, the conflict between the Pope and the conservative forces in Wuhun Palace has become more and more intense recently, and it is almost getting to the point where everyone knows it, and a great chaos is imminent."

"The Star Luo Empire will definitely take this opportunity to make some small moves secretly to see Wuhun Palace's reaction and judge whether they have really fallen."

Having said this, Liang Li turned his attention to his grandfather, who was also the patriarch of the family.

"In this case, no matter what it is, as long as it causes trouble for Wuhun Palace, the Star Luo Empire will spare no effort to support it."

The housekeeper felt unbelievable. In his opinion, it was obviously a good thing, but he didn't expect that when it came to the young master's side, there would be so many twists and turns.

He couldn't help but ask: "So this is just taking advantage of us?"

Liang Li shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "You think too highly of us. I'm afraid we are just a casual move. I believe that the nobles in the city will have similar things."

"My Lord Marquis, I'm afraid he wants to swallow this city completely!"
