The Legend of the Dragon King Chapter 1298 - Discussion With The Emperor

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Tang Wulin was still a young man, just over twenty years of age, in spite of the potential he had. His capability might belie his age. Could he handle the immense stress of managing the entire Tang Sect based on his experience?

Only the two Hall Masters of Tang Sects Douluo Hall had the answer. Tang Wulin had been chosen as the Sect Master to represent the Tang Sect in negotiating with the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Spirit Empire. It was undoubtedly the most important event for the Tang Sect in recent years. It was evident of the trust the Tang Sects high-ranking officials had in this young man.

Tang Wulin was unaware that the Amorous Douluo had witnessed the scene whereby he was chosen by the plane. Destiny was on Tang Wulins side. It was also the destiny of the entire planet.

It would not be an exaggeration to say Tang Wulin was the destined son. If such a person were not entrusted with important responsibilities, it would be a missed opportunity indeed. One should not forget that Tang Wulin was also entrusted with the reputation of Shrek Academy. No matter how close the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy were, they were not the same organization.

Shrek Academy had appointed Tang Wulin as the Sea God Pavilion Master at a critical moment, so the Tang Sect naturally offered a similar position for Tang Wulin. Otherwise, Tang Wulin would favor the academy instead.

En Ci closed his eyes once again. Currently, it was no longer a question of killing the Tang Sects Sect Master. The empire could not afford to be on adverse terms with the entire Tang Sect. Hence, they could only watch helplessly as Tang Wulin grew from strength to strength. This man would certainly become a Limit Douluo in the future. With such a young Limit Douluo, the Tang Sect did not need to worry for a long time.

While Dai Tianling talked to his civil and military officials, he also paid attention to Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin appeared valiant and extraordinary in a white robe, but he did not emit any powerful aura from his body. His face was handsome and his posture upright. Despite being the emperor, Dai Tianling secretly admired Tang Wulin who maintained a calm composure during such grandiose occasions. It was a rare appearance indeed.

The morning assembly lasted a full two hours. When Dai Tianling announced the dismissal, many civil and military officials were already worn out while the emperor was still energetic and fresh.

The civil and military officials retreated as the emperor walked down from the platform. En Ci followed behind in the emperors footsteps.

Im sorry, Sect Master. So sorry to keep you waiting. The serious look on Dai Tianlings face was replaced with a smile making him appear gentle.

Its okay. Our arrival has interrupted Your Majesty. Does Your Majesty wish to take a short rest first? said Tang Wulin smilingly. He was being polite and modest without overdoing it.

Dai Tianling looked at the gentle and mild-tempered youth before him. He burst out laughing. Even though I may be old, Im not that old yet. Lets go, we shall congregate in my rear courtroom.

It seemed like the Star Luo Empires emperor had a mild temperament. At present, he did not show any adversity toward Tang Wulin.

The Smiley Face Douluo spoke with a smile, If Your Majesty figures himself old, how about me and brother En Ci?

En Ci lifted his eyelids ever so slightly and glanced at the Smiley Face Douluo. Im not of the same age as you. Stop comparing our ages. Actually, En Ci was older than Hu Jie by more than thirty years.

Hu Jie burst out laughing. Theres no need to harp on your seniority. Perhaps, you may even outlive me.

Tang Wulin was astonished to find the Smiley Face Douluo so at ease with the Monster Academys president. It seemed like they had a rather warm relationship.

En Ci shook his head helplessly. I cant be bothered.

Dai Tianling spoke smilingly, I truly envy the friendship between Your Excellencies! As the emperor, I lack such friendships actually. Sect Master, lets have a chat at the back.

Tang Wulins group followed the emperor to the rear courtroom where refreshments were served by the attendants. The rear courtroom was similarly decorated in splendor. It was resplendent and the furnishings had a majestic grandeur to it.

Dai Tianling took the main seat while En Ci remained seated by his side. Tang Wulin took the remaining right-hand seat leaving Dai Yueyan with a seat on the opposite side.

Dai Yuner did not leave as she remained standing behind Dai Tianling. From the beginning till the end, she had not spoken a single word to Tang Wulin. However, her gaze never left Tang Wulin.

Dai Tianling spoke with a smile, Sect Master, you must be weary from the tiring journey. Did you manage to have a rest?

Dai Tianling was being courteous. Tang Wulin spoke, We had a good rest. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty.

Hmm. I understand the purpose of Tang Sects visit here this time. Ive gone through all the terms and conditions too. I find the majority of them acceptable. Also, Star Luo is grateful for Tang Sects support all this while. Having said that, there are some areas which need further discussion.

Oh? I wonder which are the areas we need to look into, Your Majesty? asked Tang Wulin calmly.

Dai Tianling smiled. Theyre actually not so important. I wonder if theres any other request from Tang Sect?

Tang Wulin responded, Our Tang Sect hopes to stop the war from happening to avoid causing suffering and misery among the population. In the Dou Spirit Empire, there are people from the Holy Spirit Cult. The war will benefit the Holy Spirit Cult the most as theyll exploit the dead and the wounded. The Holy Spirit Cult has grown increasingly active over the years. In addition, its behind many of the disastrous terrorist attacks in the Federation. Theres no doubt theyve other plans. Since weve confirmed their collusion with the Spirit Pagoda, the situation has become more complicated. Thus, we cant afford to let them have further gains from the war.

Dai Tianling had a slight frown. So, youre saying that the Holy Spirit Cult has already infiltrated our empire?

Tang Wulin nodded without the slightest hesitation. Thats for certain. Theyve gone into hiding while awaiting for the war. Theyll have more to gain as the war progresses. The Holy Spirit Cult will become more powerful than we can ever imagine. We once encountered two of their four great heavenly kings. Theyre all rank-98 Title Douluo powerhouses. Furthermore, there are at least five evil soul masters who are even more powerful than them, including the Darkness Blood Demon we engaged in a long-range fight in the Dou Spirit Empire.

Tang Wulins gaze turned bitter cold at once upon recalling the Darkness Blood Demon. His initially calm aura changed slightly for a moment. Although it was just a momentary change, En Ci who caught a glimpse of Tang Wulins face had a mild shock.

Tang Wulin concealed himself very well earlier such that even En Ci could not ascertain Tang Wulins true cultivation base. But now, during that one moment earlier, En Ci could clearly sense the Spirit Domain within Tang Wulins body.

En Ci could not help feeling incredulous upon this discovery. It had only been a few years since the event! How high was his spiritual cultivation base the last time he was at the Star Luo Empire? Was it the Spirit Origin? It had only been a few years since they last met. Had Tang Wulin already achieved breakthrough to such an extent?

Even the Smiley Face Douluo Hu Jie was still in the preliminary stage of the Spirit Domain. He had yet to condense his spiritual domain successfully. Could it be that the young man had a fortuitous encounter?

He realized that he would need to scrutinize the Tang Sects Sect Master. Tang Wulin was here today not only because of his natural endowment but his outstanding achievements too.

Holy Spirit Cult! It was not the first time Dai Tianling heard the name. The Holy Spirit Cult was still relatively unknown in the Star Luo Empire. They had not caused any problem in the Star Luo Empire yet, so they were not much of a concern to anyone.

Judging from the conflict between the empires, the Holy Spirit Cults threat toward the Federation was not a bad thing actually for the Star Luo Empire. It was based on the premise that the threat would not become a reality in the Star Luo Empire.
