Douluo 2: This Dragon God has too much martial virtue

Chapter 170: Using the Country as a Chess Game

"Come in and talk." Mu Xing leaned against the door, greeting He Caitou and ordering a certain dragon, "After delivering the things, go to the front desk to report the door repair, otherwise you will have to guard outside tonight."

He Caitou walked over tremblingly. He saw Di Tian holding the ranking knife in his hand and walking past him. These people dared to swagger around with the ranking knife. What else could they not dare to do? If Mu Xing had not provided him with a soul bone when he was in Shrek Academy, he would not have risked his life to come here alone.

“Senior Yuxing, can I call you that? After all, I don’t know your real name.” He Caitou stood stiffly in front of Mu Xing. Although he was much taller than Mu Xing, he still couldn’t help being nervous, because based on his observations over the past few days, both Dragon Emperor Douluo and the other Titled Douluo showed great respect to Mu Xing.

"Okay, sit down and talk. Don't be too nervous." Apart from his appearance, everything about Mu Xing seemed to be no different from when he was in Shrek Academy, which made He Caitou feel a lot more relaxed.

“Senior sister, you should already know my identity. Six years ago, my father was at the prime of his life, but he suddenly died overnight. My mother and my three unmarried sisters also died on the same night. The current emperor said it was food poisoning, but I remember that day a horrible figure sneaked into the palace and killed people wantonly. My mother stuffed me into a secret passage, and that’s how I survived.” When he said this, He Caitou’s eyes were already red and his fists were clenched tightly.

"Your uncle colluded with the evil soul master to get to the top, right? Is that it? Come to think of it, I still have some old grudges against her!" Mu Xing used his soul power to outline a blood-red light and shadow. This blood-red light and shadow was in human shape, but had twelve pairs of blood-red wings.

"That's right! It's this one!" He Caitou's originally honest face became even more ferocious, and the hatred in his heart had reached its peak.

"Shrek Academy can't give you what you want? I heard that Moon plans to vigorously support the Soul Guidance Department!" Mu Xing was a little curious about what made the former prince of the Sun Moon Empire betray his mentor and come to her.

"My power is too small. Becoming an extreme soldier is my only hope, but my talent is not enough to be the real accomplisher of this plan. I already know what happened in the inner court some time ago. No matter how much time I spend on becoming an extreme soldier, I am not as good as an extreme Douluo equipped with a ninth-level soul guide." At this point, He Caitou looked at Mu Xing with red eyes, "Besides, I thought Shrek Academy has always been committed to eradicating evil soul masters, but they actually harbored an evil soul master. Beibei even wanted to persuade me to join the Tang Sect. Humph! I will not go along with the sect of evil soul masters!"

In addition, Xuan Zi had not even caught a Soul King-level evil soul master before, which made He Caitou lose confidence in the Shrek Supervisory Group.

"Then what do you want from me? Revenge? Or restoration?" Mu Xing stared at him. "Think carefully before answering. These two things cannot be confused. They have corresponding prices."

"I..." He Caitou hesitated. He wanted both of them, but Mu Xing's words made him realize that he could only afford the price for one of them.

"You don't have to give me an answer now. Just reply to me before the end of the competition." Mu Xing comforted him. "Restoration is too easy. It is not difficult for me to kill the Sun Moon Emperor and his descendants. When you are the only one with royal blood, the people of Sun Moon will have no other choice. But you have to know that the current Sun Moon Royal Family has been tied to the evil soul master's organization, which is called the Holy Spirit Church."

"As for revenge, your enemies are the current emperor and the evil soul master who killed your family. That evil soul master is the Supreme Leader of the Holy Spirit Church. Killing her is more troublesome than bloodbathing your uncle's descendants, and the price will be higher. But the most important thing is, what can you offer in exchange?"

He Caitou seemed to have made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "The most valuable thing now is my Sun Moon royal bloodline. I don't want the throne. I know I can't be a good emperor. I want the people who killed my parents and sisters to die! In return, I will ascend the throne as the former crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire, and then abdicate to the spokesperson of Dragon Pavilion, as long as you can eliminate those evil soul masters and treat the civilians well."

"Junior brother, don't underestimate yourself. I think you are more courageous than your father! If he had half of your decisiveness, maybe you would still be the crown prince of the Sun and Moon Empire?" Mu Xing couldn't help but applaud him.

"Senior, I just want to know if the price I offered is enough?" He Caitou stared into her eyes, "I know that the Tianhun Empire gave you a city, but if I personally issue an order to abdicate, you can easily get the entire Sun and Moon Empire. Whether it is territory or resources, it is not comparable to a Dragon City."

"As for what you said about treating civilians well, I can guarantee that their lives will not be worse than those of the people in Dragon City. At least, they will not disappear as frequently as they have in recent years."

"So you agree?" He Caitou suppressed his inner excitement, "Then..."

"But there is one thing we haven't reached a consensus on. What kind of people do you think are evil soul masters? Are people who are born with evil martial souls evil soul masters? There are many such children in Dragon Pavilion. Before they were stained with the blood of innocent people, the Dragon Emperor snatched those children away. That's why the Holy Spirit Church doesn't deal with us very well. Maybe their Supreme Leader hates us more than the Shrek Supervisory Group."

"I was taught at Shrek Academy that martial spirits affect a person's character, and that people with evil martial spirits will sooner or later become evil spirit masters. But I have listened to teacher Wang Yan's lectures, and he has a different opinion on this..."

"Oh? What did he say?" Mu Xing asked with interest.

"Teacher Wang once used the bone martial spirit as an example. Bone martial spirits belong to the category of undead, and everyone will subconsciously think that they represent death and ominousness. But he mentioned the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect ten thousand years ago. There was once a sect protector whose martial spirit was a bone dragon. He and another sect protector died in the battle of the two gods. The history books determined that he belonged to the side of justice." He Caitou had to admit that Wang Yan's words did shake his definition of evil spirit masters. "So I think that good and evil should not be defined by martial spirits, but I don't think those who do evil deserve sympathy, even if they are indeed forced!"

After saying that, he looked at Mu Xing somewhat nervously. Perhaps he should have been more tactful, but for some reason, under her gaze, he simply couldn't lie.
