Chapter 48 Have you heard of the Kuiba?
Half a month later, Xue Qinghe returned to the Heaven Dou Empire.
Instead of returning to the Crown Prince's residence, she immediately chose to meet with Emperor Xueye.
In the emperor's study, the emperor stood with his back to her, while she waited with her head bowed.
"Qinghe, you're back."
"Your son is unfilial; he has not come to pay his respects to the Emperor for two months."
"So be it, it's good that you're back." Emperor Xueye turned around and sighed softly, "Qinghe, you suffered during your time in the City of Slaughter."
Xue Qinghe said respectfully, "It is my honor to serve my father, the emperor."
She didn't suffer at all; her two months in the killing city were purely for relaxation.
She wouldn't mind staying for a few more months if she didn't have to come back.
The Emperor asked her to sit down and then had two cups of tea brought to her.
He habitually stood at the window, gazing at the scenery outside.
Xue Qinghe, on the other hand, sat in a chair with a cup of tea, watching his back without saying a word.
"Qinghe, have you seen the King of Slaughter?"
"I've seen him."
"Hmm, you've met Kuiba before, haven't you?"
Without turning his head, Emperor Xueye asked, "Kuiba, what kind of person is he exactly?"
"He is extremely shrewd and adept at winning people's hearts, and he also has a high level of expertise in military affairs."
"Such high praise?"
Xue Qinghe put down his tea and stood up. "Reporting to Father Emperor, that is indeed the case."
"A month ago, the Soul Master Alliance was defeated by him, which aligns with your assessment of him." Emperor Xueye turned around again and asked:
"So, in your opinion, among the generals of my Heavenly Dou Empire, is there anyone who can rival Kuiba?"
Xue Qinghe replied, "No."
"Really not?"
"Really, no."
Emperor Xueye seemed to age ten years in an instant. "So, does that mean my Heavenly Dou Empire can only wait for the Slaughter City to attack?"
"That's not necessarily true, Father. Don't forget, the Spirit Hall hasn't made a move yet. We just need to wait for the right opportunity."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xueye nodded slightly, remained silent, and continued to look at the scenery outside the window.
Seeing this, Xue Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief and murmured to himself.
"Kuiba, how much will you have grown in three years?"
The mainland has completely returned to peace. The major forces have stopped causing trouble, and the Killing City has fallen silent as usual.
But everyone knows that when the City of Slaughter makes another move, it will be swift as lightning, spreading like wildfire across the Douluo Continent.
But what can we do?
Even if they fight now, they can't defeat the City of Slaughter.
Even if they could win, the losses would be devastating, ultimately benefiting the Spirit Hall for nothing.
The only option now is to wait for the Spirit Hall to take the initiative and lead the team.

Some say that time marches on silently, slipping away unnoticed, spring comes and autumn goes, and youth fades away in an instant.
Some say that time is like inferior wine, unable to withstand careful tasting, and always difficult to swallow.
Looking back suddenly, the beauty has faded.
Three years have passed just like that, and during those three years, everyone has lived peacefully together.
Just like the calm surface of a lake, it was peaceful and undisturbed.
But you should know that sometimes it's not difficult to stir up a thousand waves; all it takes is a single pebble.
The notice from the Spirit Hall was that pebble.
Heavenly Dou Empire, Heavenly Dou City.
"Everyone, come quick! This is a proclamation issued by the Spirit Hall. They're forming a Justice League to attack the Slaughter City!"
"Is that so! The Spirit Hall has remained silent for three years, and now they're finally going to make their move?"
"It says that anyone with ambition, whether a Soul Master or a commoner, can join the Justice League, and rewards will be given based on merit!"
"What! That means commoners also have a chance to obtain titles?"
"That's right, this is a chance to make a name for ourselves! Let's sign up quickly!"
A few people chimed in, "Why go and conquer the Killing City? I heard they treat civilians well there."
"It's not just good, it's fantastic! My friend just recently wrote to invite me to join Slaughter City!"
"So what? This is an opportunity to gain fame and fortune! The Killing Capital must be destroyed!"
Many older commoners said, "But what if the City of Slaughter is destroyed? What will we do then? The nobles will definitely continue to enslave us. Don't cut off your own escape route."
"Yes, it's only because of the existence of the Killing City that the nobles have become more restrained. If the Killing City is destroyed, the nobles will definitely make a comeback, and we will still not be treated as human beings."
"Shut up, that's utter nonsense!"
"Hmph, once I have achieved fame and rank, I will no longer be a commoner. What business is it of my if nobles enslave commoners?"
"Exactly! Who knows, maybe I'll be able to snatch a few beautiful women as wives someday, haha!"
"A title? The empire can give it to you and take it back. Don't be fooled. The City of Slaughter is the one that stands with us commoners."
"Spreading heresy and misleading the public, drag him out and beat him!"
The voices supporting the Killing City are growing fainter, which shows that the Empire's brainwashing of the civilians over the past three years has been quite successful.
According to them, the Killing Capital is an evil paradise where people are devoured without spitting out their bones.
Kuiba is even worse; he's portrayed as a devil from hell, and following him will only lead to a bad end.
While slandering Kuiba, the nobles also toned down their behavior and began to "get closer to the people," changing their previous ways.
Women were no longer abducted, fewer slaves were captured, and while the disregard for human life still existed, it had decreased significantly.
Everything in the empire seemed to be getting better.
Therefore, the Killing City became a symbol of evil, and most civilians actually began to reject the Kuiba.
Little did these ordinary people know that they were walking step by step into the abyss.
Or perhaps they knew it was an abyss, but were willing to become tools of the nobility to satisfy their own desires.
This is the tragedy of ordinary people; generation after generation, they have found it increasingly difficult to stand tall.
Their entire lives were spent being manipulated by the nobility.
"Fellow villagers, as you can all see, this is a notice from the Spirit Hall, it cannot be faked."
At this moment, a nobleman from the Heavenly Dou clan led his soldiers over.
Then the nobleman, with a kind expression on his face, said to the commoners, "His Majesty Xueye has decreed that after the Kuiba are eliminated, everyone who participated will be rewarded and will be on equal footing with the nobles in the future."
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! What are you all waiting for? Don't you all want to live a life of plenty, indulging in women and spending lavishly as soon as you wake up?"
"Yes! Yes!"
"We're willing! We want to join the Justice League!"
"The city of slaughter is evil; we are the righteous ones. It is our duty to defeat evil!"
The nobleman chuckled inwardly. A bunch of foolish commoners, naively ridiculous.
It was just a pie in the sky, yet everyone's scrambling to take a bite. Haha.
Once Kuiba dies, everything will return to normal. The commoners will still be commoners, and their wives and daughters will still be used for the pleasure of the "noble" nobles.
Their lives are worse than those of animals.
"Okay, the registration area is over there. Please go there to register."
In an instant, many ordinary people signed up, their faces beaming with joy.
It's as if they've already foreseen the day when they'll become superior to others and also bully others.

Soto City, Tiandou Empire.
What happened in Tiandou City was also happening in Soto City, or rather, it was happening all over the country.
"I want to sign up too."
A man dressed in black cloth, with a buzz cut and a stiff face, raised his hand.
The nobleman in charge of registration glanced at him and immediately laughed, "Oh, isn't this the master? You've come to join the fun too?"
Yu Xiaogang has been in Soto City for three years, and his "masterly reputation" is already widely known.
Then Yu Xiaogang straightened his clothes and stood with his hands behind his back: "Doesn't it say that everyone can participate? Does it say that Yu Xiaogang cannot participate?"
"Of course not, I'll register the master right away."
Yu Xiaogang nodded and added, "Also, register Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Zhao Wuji, Flander... all at the same time."
The nobleman was taken aback. "Master, are you serious? Don't you need to ask for their opinions? You know, there are punishments for giving false names."
To everyone's surprise, Yu Xiaogang waved his hand dismissively, "No need, just register it like this."
"Okay, then you'll have to take responsibility if anything goes wrong."
After registering, Yu Xiaogang left with a bunch of Justice League badges.
He was overjoyed!
This is a golden opportunity for him to achieve great things, make a name for himself, and establish a great reputation!
Is it the King of Slaughter? Is it Kuiba?
Ha, prepare to face the challenge issued by the number one theoretical master in the Soul Master world!

As soon as Yu Xiaogang returned to Shrek Academy, he sent someone to inform everyone.
Before long, the Shrek Seven Devils, Flander, and the others arrived at the academy's playground.
Everyone looked at Yu Xiaogang with curious eyes, not understanding what he was up to.
"Teacher, is there something important? I rarely see you so excited."
A man with short black hair, wearing a blue high-waisted outfit, stepped forward and asked.
His name is Tang San, and he is a disciple of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang.
"Yes, what is it? Tell me quickly, I still need to go to the brothel."
Another chubby boy with a red afro said, looking impatient.
His name is Ma Hongjun, and he is considered the adopted son of Dean Flander.
"Ugh, how disgusting!" said a girl in a light blue dress.
Her name is Ning Rongrong. She is a princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the only daughter of the school's leader, Ning Fengzhi.
I came to Shrek Academy because I wanted to train myself.
Ma Hongjun immediately retorted, "What, you won't let me go to the brothel? Then will you help me relieve my pent-up desire?"
"You scoundrel!" Ning Rongrong's hands trembled with anger.
"Alright, stop arguing. I'll tell you what happened next."
With a stern face, Yu Xiaogang pulled out several Justice League medals from his pocket.
This medal is a symbol of the Justice League soldier's identity.
Under everyone's curious gaze, Yu Xiaogang said calmly:
"Have you heard of...Kuiba?"
