Flander, in a hurry to choose sides

Chapter 77 Flander, in a hurry to choose sides

With a heart full of trepidation, Flander slowly walked into the main hall of the Heavenly Dou Empire's palace.

Upon entering the palace, his gaze was involuntarily drawn to the magnificent splendor of the surroundings.

The magnificent decorations and ornate domes here all showcase the majesty and luxury of the royal family.

"If we exchanged all of it for Gold Soul Coins, how much would that be!"

Flander secretly envied him, thinking that if he could also possess such wealth, Shrek Academy would surely grow stronger.

Suddenly he remembered that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had not yet paid him for delivering the message to Tang San, and he felt a pang of annoyance.

Therefore, after meeting Emperor Xueye, I decided that I must go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to demand their generous reward.

Flanders quickly arrived at the center of the hall, where Emperor Snow Night sat on his throne, his expression majestic and solemn.

Standing beside Emperor Xueye were three instructors from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, each a Soul Douluo of level 80 or above, exuding an imposing aura.

Upon seeing this, Flanders quickly stepped forward, bowed, and respectfully said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Emperor Xueye smiled slightly and raised his hand in greeting: "Dean Flander, there's no need for such formalities."

Flander straightened up, but his heart was still filled with unease.

He secretly glanced at the three Soul Douluos, wondering in his heart why Emperor Xueye had summoned him.

"What is the purpose of His Majesty's summons me?"

Flander was only a Soul Saint, and it was not an easy thing for him to meet Emperor Xueye.

Today, however, I was summoned on my own initiative, which is very strange.

However, he did not reveal the truth directly, leaving the initiative in the hands of Emperor Xueye.

Seeing that Flander was so sensible, Emperor Xueye did not get straight to the point, but exchanged a few pleasantries with him and talked about some unimportant topics.

As Flander dealt with the situation, his doubts grew stronger.

However, just as he was wondering, Emperor Xueye changed the subject.

"Dean Flander, if I remember correctly, you currently run an academy called Shrek Academy."

Upon hearing Emperor Xueye mention Shrek Academy, Flander's heart tightened, and his pupils suddenly contracted sharply.

In that instant, he understood why Emperor Xueye had summoned him.

That is, Lan Minghua.

It is an indisputable fact that Lan Minghua is a teacher at Shrek Academy.

Not long ago, Lan Minghua killed Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has a close relationship with the Heaven Dou Empire, and Ning Fengzhi is even the teacher of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

Given these dual circumstances, Emperor Xueye would certainly not stand idly by.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Flander's forehead; he knew he had to make a choice.

He glanced at the three Soul Douluos and knew that if they didn't cooperate, they probably wouldn't be able to leave this place today.

So, without hesitation, he sold Lan Minghua and poured out his grievances to Emperor Xueye.

"Your Majesty, Lan Minghua is incredibly powerful. I, a mere Soul Saint, am utterly incapable of stopping him! Please don't blame me."

Emperor Xueye nodded calmly: "I understand. Lan Minghua's strength is indeed extraordinary. I will not blame you."

Upon hearing this, Flanders breathed a sigh of relief, but the unease in his heart did not dissipate.

As expected, Emperor Xueye continued, "I have summoned you today for two main matters. First, I have decided to merge Shrek Academy into the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

Upon hearing this, Flander's face turned pale instantly.

He knew that once Shrek Academy merged into the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, his position as dean would cease to exist.

Seeing his hesitation, Emperor Xueye continued, "Dean Flander, this is an announcement, not a discussion. Do you understand?"

Hearing Emperor Xueye's domineering words, Flander suppressed his resentment and forced a smile: "Of course, it is my honor that Shrek Academy can be merged into the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

However, he also realized from this incident that things were not that simple.

He immediately mustered his courage and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to take action against Lan Minghua?"

Emperor Xueye chuckled lightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "Sect Master Ning is a member of my Heavenly Dou Empire. He was killed by Lan Minghua; how could I stand idly by?"

"But Lan Minghua is no ordinary person. The Heavenly Dragon Gang behind him, plus himself, has at least two Title Douluos. Their strength is already comparable to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School of the Three Upper Sects. Your Majesty, do you really want to avenge Sect Master Ning against Lan Minghua?" Flander blurted out.

From a businessman's perspective, Emperor Xueye's approach was clearly a thankless task.

Moreover, Lan Minghua did not show any dissatisfaction with the Heavenly Dou Empire. Isn't Emperor Xueye just creating a powerful enemy for himself by doing this?

Emperor Xueye snorted coldly and said in a chilling voice, "Hmph, so what if you have two Title Douluos? So what if your strength is no less than that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

"The three upper sects are of one mind, and with the army of my Heavenly Dou Empire, even if Lan Minghua is strong, how could he possibly be stronger than our forces!"

At this point, Emperor Xueye revealed an even more shocking piece of news for Flanders.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Besides us, the Spirit Hall has also set its sights on Lan Minghua. I refuse to believe that he can survive the encirclement and suppression by multiple forces."

Upon hearing this, Flander's eyes widened in shock.

He never expected that the three upper sects, the Heaven Dou Empire, and even the Spirit Hall would all have their eyes on Lan Minghua.

It should be noted that these forces have stood on the continent for many years, and no other force has been able to challenge their position.

Although Lan Minghua and the Tianlong Gang are strong, Flander doesn't think they have much of a chance against these forces.

He quickly weighed the pros and cons and, as a shrewd businessman, immediately made what he believed to be the most advantageous choice for himself.

Flanders immediately bowed and said decisively, "Your Majesty, I am willing to serve the Empire. Please feel free to contact me if you have any orders."

Emperor Xueye nodded in satisfaction, then offered a rosy promise: "Very good, Dean Flander, I trust your loyalty. If you can break through to the Soul Douluo level, the position of Dean of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy might be yours."

Flander's eyes lit up, and like a lapdog, he quickly pledged his loyalty: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I, Flander, will dedicate myself to the Empire until my dying breath."

However, just after Flanders finished pledging his loyalty, a soldier rushed into the hall in a panic.

Similar scenes occurred at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Haotian School, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School.

Because this would be shocking news for them.

The general strode quickly to Emperor Xueye, knelt on one knee, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! News has come from the Spirit Hall that their Fourth Elder of the Hall of Worship, Lion Douluo, as well as the Elders of the Hall of Elders, Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo, have all died at the hands of Lan Minghua!"

Upon hearing this, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.

Emperor Xueye's face suddenly darkened, and the three Soul Douluo instructors also showed expressions of shock.

Flanders was completely dumbfounded, his mind reeling with a storm of emotions.

He never expected that Lan Minghua's strength would be so terrifying.

Even three titled Douluo powerhouses from the Spirit Hall perished at his hands.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Xueye slowly spoke with a gloomy face: "It seems that I underestimated Lan Minghua's strength."

Flanders stood aside, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

"Lan... Lan Minghua is that strong? Did I choose sides too early?!"

He had just pledged his loyalty when news arrived that Lan Minghua had killed three Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall.
