Chapter 43: The Concerns of the Diplomatic Delegation
A few minutes later,
Qin Ming followed the Spirit Hall bishop into the Spirit Hall's meeting hall.
Upon entering, Qin Ming spotted a familiar figure.
After examining him intently, Qin Ming raised an eyebrow.
"You?
The Star Luo Empire envoy who visited the Haotian Sect earlier?"
Upon hearing this, the man stood up and, smiling, cupped his fists towards Qin Ming.
"You must be His Majesty the Lion's disciple. I
'm honored that you still remember me."
After complimenting Qin Ming, the man introduced himself.
"My name is Zhu Fu, an advisor to His Majesty the Emperor. I'm in charge of this mission to the Haotian Sect.
I'm honored to have seen His Majesty the Lion's heroic presence today, so I've come to pay my respects."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming sized up Zhu Fu.
"This Zhu Fu looks no more than twenty-five or twenty-six years old, yet he's already reached the rank of advisor to the Emperor.
And his surname is Zhu? Could he be a member of the Nether Spirit Cat Clan?"
After pondering, Qin Ming returned the greeting.
"I'm Qin Ming, greetings to the ambassador."
After the two sides re-seated themselves, Qin Ming observed Zhu Fu again.
Compared to his previous visit to the Haotian Sect, Zhu Fu had changed into a more ornate outfit.
His demeanor also seemed more humble than before.
Zhu Fu was also studying Qin Ming.
He had noticed Qin Ming when Lion Douluo led him to destroy the Haotian Sect's mountain gate.
However, due to the intensity of the battle, Zhu Fu didn't dare get too close, and could only observe from a distance with the other members of the delegation.
Only after Lion Douluo left did he dare to return to the Haotian Sect.
Upon seeing that the Haotian Sect's main hall had also been destroyed,
Zhu Fu was secretly horrified and immediately arranged for someone to pass this information to Xingluo Imperial City...
Just as the delegation was fearfully returning to Gengxin City to rest and recuperate, a subordinate suddenly reported that a spirit master had been seen flying into the Spirit Hall.
Zhu Fu suspected that it was most likely Qin Ming and his companions.
After briefly considering the pros and cons, Zhu Fu changed into a new set of clothes and, bearing the gifts, hurried to the Spirit Hall in Gengxin City.
While pondering, Zhu Fu glanced behind Qin Ming.
Seeing that the Lion Douluo hadn't appeared yet, a glimmer of hope flashed in Zhu Fu's eyes.
"Qin Ming, His Majesty the Lion won't come out?
Did His Majesty suffer some kind of injury in the Haotian Sect?"
Qin Ming's eyes narrowed slightly at this.
"Is this old fellow here to inquire about my teacher's situation?
Is he afraid of our Spirit Hall?"
After pondering, Qin Ming smiled and waved his hand at Zhu Fu.
"Ambassador, you're joking. How could those people from the Haotian Sect harm my teacher?
The Haotian Sect has entrusted their Haotian Nine Absolutes to my teacher, who is currently comprehending these self-created spirit skills in his quiet chamber.
In the future, our Spirit Hall might even simplify these Haotian Sect's secret spirit skills and widely disseminate them..."
Zhu Fu's eyes lit up at Qin Ming's words.
The Nine Absolutes of Clear Sky is the hallmark of the Clear Sky Sect, so its power goes without saying.
If it could truly spread among ordinary spirit masters, the status of the Clear Sky Sect would inevitably decline.
At the same time, their Xingluo Empire's army would also benefit.
Thinking of this, Zhu Fu's smile grew even wider.
"Then on behalf of all the weapon spirit masters in the world, I would like to thank you, the Spirit Hall."
With that, Zhu Fu stood up again and bowed to Qin Ming.
Seeing Zhu Fu making such a gesture, Qin Ming hurried forward to help him up.
"Excuse me, Ambassador. Our Spirit Hall has no intention of handling the affairs of the continent.
We can only benefit the spirit masters of the world through these small things. It's up to you to truly seek benefits for civilian soul masters. "
Hearing Qin Ming say this, Zhu Fu felt a little relieved.
Now Zhu Fu, as an ambassador, is actually under a lot of pressure.
After all, the strength exposed by the Spirit Hall is too exaggerated.
Let's not talk about the fact that there are so many Titled Douluo, but the behavior of the Lion Douluo is what really scared him.
Before this, he had never thought that there would be a way to deal with the problem by having the Titled Douluo come directly to the door.
This kind of thing completely broke the rules of past wars.
Including the Xingluo Royal Family and the Tiandou Royal Family, the two empires and their affiliated principalities have no means to compete with the Titled Douluo.
If all the Titled Douluos of the Spirit Hall were as unreasonable as the Lion Douluo.
Instead of fighting with those armies, they chose to run over and behead the top leaders of the empire, or even massacre the nobles.
Then the collapse of the empire is actually just a matter of a moment.
At this moment, Zhu Fu did not dare to think deeply.
He could only pray inwardly that the Spirit Hall was really as Qin Ming said, that it just wanted to benefit the civilian spirit masters and was not interested in the affairs of the continent...
While thinking, Zhu Fu spoke again.
"The Spirit Hall is willing to benefit the spirit masters of the world, which is a blessing for the civilians.
"The Star Luo Empire is willing to lend a helping hand to the Spirit Hall.
When I return, I will persuade His Majesty the Emperor to increase the benefits for low-level spirit masters."
After a pause, Zhu Fu continued.
"By the end of this year at the latest,
our Star Luo Empire will deliver all the Gold Soul Coins owed this year, as well as the Gold Soul Coins needed for next year's benefits, to Spirit City!"
Qin Ming nodded.
"Then I thank His Majesty the Star Luo Emperor on behalf of all the ordinary spirit masters in the world."
After a few more pleasantries, Zhu Fu addressed Qin Ming sternly.
"Qin Ming, I wonder what business has brought you, the Spirit Hall, to the Star Luo Empire?"
"My teacher and I are here on a diplomatic mission." "A diplomatic mission?" Zhu Fu looked at Qin Ming with some confusion. "Yes, our Spirit Hall plans to re-rank the seven great sects in five months. We've come to the Star Luo Empire to invite the Haotian Sect to participate in the ranking competition.
" At the same time, we are also planning to invite the Xingluo Royal Family to watch the game in Wuhun City. " Hearing this, Zhu Fu was a little confused. He stared at Qin Ming in front of him, not knowing what to say. 'You were sent as an envoy to the Haotian Sect, but you and your teacher directly demolished their mountain gate and main hall. Although the Haotian Sect itself has problems, putting aside the facts, is your Spirit Hall not at fault?' After muttering to himself, Zhu Fu now urgently wanted to return to the Xingluo Imperial City. He wanted to report this matter to the Xingluo Emperor immediately. At the same time, during this period of time, all the playboys of those families must be under house arrest and must not be allowed to provoke the Spirit Hall again. If that Lion Douluo also directly demolished the main hall of the Xingluo Imperial Family like he did to the Haotian Sect, then the Xingluo Empire would lose all face. Thinking of this, Zhu Fu subconsciously stood up from his seat. Seeing this, Qin Ming also guessed Zhu Fu's thoughts and raised his hand to Zhu Fu with a smile. "Ambassador, my teacher may be in seclusion for some time, so there is no rush to go to the Xingluo Imperial City. We may pay a visit later. "I'll trouble you with the mission at this time." Hearing this, Zhu Fu breathed a sigh of relief. After hurriedly bidding farewell to Qin Ming, Zhu Fu led his delegation and rushed to Xingluo Imperial City at the fastest speed...
