Chapter 65 Hey, call me brother once while eavesdropping on a conversation
Wang Dong crossed his arms and scrutinized him. Seeing his furtive appearance, Wang Dong became somewhat wary and reluctant to tell him his real name.
Remembering the name he had been contemplating not long ago, Wang Dong said, "Oh, my name is Tang Dong. Is there something you need?"
Dai Luoli replied honestly, "What's wrong? I'm fine. Didn't you just call me?"
Wang Dong angrily retorted, "Is this something you should be concerned about? Speak! Why did you come to the Haotian Sect? You said you came with your father, right? Speak! Where is your father? What are you plotting?"
Dai Luoli quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, no! Don't misunderstand! We're not here to cause trouble. My father is the Duke of White Tiger, you know? He's the national hero of the Star Luo Empire! He's very powerful!"
He came here to visit your sect leader. I have no right to listen to what they're saying inside, so I just came here to wander around. Sister, is this your home? Please let me go, this is a misunderstanding!
Wang Dong thought to himself, "The White Tiger Duke? Isn't that Dai Huabin's father? What the hell? Why is someone like that coming to my house?!"
Suddenly, Wang Dong seemed to remember something, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
That smile frightened Dai Luoli, who was standing nearby, so he asked, "Sis, what's wrong?"
As if guided by fate, she subconsciously turned to look at Dai Luoli and said, as if reciting lines:
"Hey, call me 'brother'!"
Dai Luoli stared at Tang Dong in front of him, momentarily stunned. He didn't understand why this stunningly beautiful girl wanted him to call her that. But thinking of the name Tang Dong, for some reason, he subconsciously said, "Brother."
Wang Dong asked, "Do you want to hear what they said?" Dai Luoli didn't understand what she wanted to do, but thinking about how she had always been marginalized in her family, she nodded subconsciously.
Wang Dong's face immediately broke into a bright smile. He pressed his hands firmly on Dai Luoli's shoulders and said excitedly, "Looks like you're on the right track! Tell me! Where are they? Take me there!"
Dai Luoli was startled and instinctively said, "Isn't this a bad idea? The things they're discussing must be very important, right?"
Wang Dong angrily retorted, "What's wrong with you? Are you going to lead the way or not?!"
Dai Luoli was intimidated by Wang Dong's imposing presence and quickly nodded, saying, "Understood, I'll take you there."
Without a word, Wang Dong grabbed Dai Luoli's hair, flew into the air, and forced Dai Luoli to guide him. The two flew towards their destination.
……
The Haotian Sect's main hall, a hall of the highest rank. Slightly cool, gray sunlight streamed in from the hall's entrance.
Along with the sunlight, there was also the imposing and upright figure at the head of the guest seats.
With blond hair and heterochromatic eyes, a dignified appearance, and graceful movements, he was none other than the Marshal of the Star Luo Empire's three armies, the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao, who was praised as an imperial hero by the people of the Star Luo Empire.
When Wang Dong and his companion secretly ran to the crack in the window in the distance and peeked inside, the first thing they saw was this person.
Behind Duke White Tiger stood another figure, but the sunlight was too dazzling to see clearly.
Across from him, the Ming emperor, with impeccable manners, looked at the White Tiger Duke and said:
"Duke Baihu, let me state in advance that our Haotian Sect has always remained aloof from worldly affairs. Although you have had a past relationship with our sect's ancestors, if you have any requests that are not well-founded, we may find it difficult to respond in order to uphold our sect's consistent principles and to consider our sect's interests."
On the other side, Dai Hao showed no sign of anger. He was a soldier, and Da Ming's blunt way of speaking was deliberately tailored to his personality.
At the same time, Da Ming dared to say this because he knew this legendary marshal well. He knew that this was a very measured person. He had made demanding requests and indicated that he needed a reason. This meticulous marshal must have already prepared a reason.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Dai Hao didn't hesitate at all and said to the outside, "Bring them in."
The sound carried on, and soon two soldiers from the Star Luo Empire carried in a stretcher before quickly leaving.
Sensing the presence of the person on the stretcher, Da Ming frowned. He could tell that the person on the stretcher was no ordinary cultivator, at least at the Title Douluo level.
But at this moment, the old man was lying on the stretcher covered in blood, seemingly unable to speak.
Seeing the old man's condition, Dai Hao said with a heavy heart, "Xuanji is getting old. After such a fierce battle, his recovery ability is obviously much slower than when he was in his prime."
Da Ming frowned, thinking to himself, "What exactly does this descendant of Dai Mubai want? He immediately released a half-dead guy—does he suspect us?"
With this in mind, Da Ming said in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken, the person who could beat His Majesty to this state must be at least at the Super Douluo level. If Your Excellency the Duke wants our help, then this matter will probably not be resolved in a short time."
Dai Hao shook his head and said, "There's no need for you to trouble yourself with that, Sect Master. We'll make them pay for our own family's grudges with our own blood. The reason we came to your sect is actually for another purpose."
As he spoke, Dai Hao raised his wrist, and the next moment, the storage soul tool on his wrist shone brightly, followed by hundreds of tiny needles, which were quietly placed on the table.
Wang Dong and Dai Luoli peered cautiously through the window, curious about what was on the table, but they couldn't see clearly. Wang Dong turned around to observe Dai Luoli's reaction, but Dai Luoli gave a response that puzzled Wang Dong greatly.
It seemed that Delori couldn't hear the conversation inside at all.
But the next moment, Da Ming exclaimed in surprise and almost slammed his fist on the table.
Dai Hao calmly said, "Now, can Your Highness see the key point?"
Seated firmly in the main seat, Da Ming said with a solemn expression:
"If the King of Hell wants you dead at midnight, who can keep you alive until dawn? This is the King of Hell's decree from the Tang Clan."
