Of course, if Qian Daoliu is willing to send out most of the titled Douluo, then there is still a chance to fight.
But that's not very realistic.
Every Title Douluo is a treasure of the Spirit Hall, and everyone knows that even Title Douluos face great danger in the City of Slaughter.
If the goal is to win a temporary victory, then sending a Title Douluo to attack the City of Slaughter is not the only option.
If they win, that's fine, but if they lose, or if they sacrifice several Title Douluos, the loss would be something the Spirit Hall cannot afford.
"Are you really confident you can defeat the City of Slaughter three years from now?" Qian Daoliu asked.
"certainly."
"Alright, we'll do as you say. We'll recuperate for three years, and then take over the Killing City in one fell swoop."
Bibi Dong smiled, "I will certainly live up to the Grand Elder's trust and return with the heads of the King of Slaughter and the Kuiba."
Qian Daoliu nodded and said, "The Serpent Spear sent word that Xiaoxue is still in the Killing Grounds."
"Kuiba didn't let her leave?"
"No, according to Serpent Spear's information, it was Xiaoxue who volunteered to stay a few more days."
Bibi Dong was somewhat confused. "What is she trying to do? Probe the depths of the Slaughter City? That's completely unnecessary. The soul of the Slaughter City is the Kuiba."
Qian Daoliu shook his head: "Xiaoxue didn't explicitly say why she stayed, but it's speculated that it's related to Kuiba."
"Nonsense! What if something happens to her? What will happen to our plan to seize the country?"
"Well... I believe she knows what's going on. I'm telling you this just to let you know that she's your daughter, and you should care about her more."
Bibi Dong's face showed neither joy nor sorrow. "I understand."

The city gate of the killing capital.
Zhu Zhuyun didn't know how she got here; her heart just drifted along and ended up here.
The battlefield has been cleaned up, and the killing city has returned to its peaceful state.
"He knew you would come back."
Upon hearing the sound, Zhu Zhuyun raised her dull eyes and looked ahead.
Xue Qinghe walked over slowly with a smile on his face.
"It's you! What are you doing here?"
Xue Qinghe laughed and said, "In the City of Slaughter, there is plenty to eat and drink, and you don't have to worry about too many rules. It's much more comfortable here than the Imperial Palace."
It was a different story in the Heaven Dou Empire; she had to be extremely careful with every step she took.
There are quite a few people who hope that she, the crown prince, will step down.
Zhu Zhuyun asked, "Aren't you afraid that the Heavenly Dou Empire will send troops to attack the City of Slaughter again while you stay here?"
"No, the battle from a few days ago is still fresh in my mind. Father wouldn't do anything foolish."
Where is he?
"I've been waiting for you at the Killing Palace."
"wait for me?"
Xue Qinghe nodded and said with a faint smile, "He said he would definitely come back, and when you come back, you will have a clearer understanding of this world."
"That bastard..."
Zhu Zhuyun successfully entered the City of Slaughter and then headed straight for the Slaughter Palace.
The guards had been notified beforehand and did not stop her, so she passed through without hindrance.
Finally, she saw that man again in the Killing Palace.
Upon seeing her, Huanming couldn't help but laugh. "What's wrong, Miss Zhu?"
"You know the answer already, so you ask."
Huanming nodded. "It seems I predicted it. So, you're here to join us?"
Zhu Zhuyun asked, "I have a question I don't understand. I wonder if you could help me?"
"Speak."
Why do people harbor so much malice towards others?
Huanming was silent for a moment before replying, "Many people's hatred is unfounded. They are mediocre, lack talent, and are unproductive. Therefore, your talent, your excellence, and your happiness are all original sins. That's human nature."
"Since human nature is so ugly, why do you still go against the will of heaven?"
"This world is neither black nor white, but a delicate gray, and it is because of this that the world appears beautiful."
Zhu Zhuyun felt a mix of emotions, a very complex feeling.
Some people who once treated her with such respect are now kicking her when she's down and maliciously slandering her.
Perhaps, Kuiba is right.
Zhu Zhuyun sighed, "What pains me the most is that Davis has absolutely no feelings for me. He doesn't trust me, but I've always lived for him."
Huanming stepped down and said calmly, "People only believe what they want to believe. They don't care about the truth at all. They just want to hear the answer that resonates with their emotions."
"I understand." Zhu Zhuyun met those brown eyes and asked, "When your ideal comes true, the world should become a better place, right?"
Huanming shook his head. "The enemy is too powerful; I cannot make any promises to you."
"It doesn't matter anymore. Whether I succeed or fail, where else can I go? Heh."
From then on, Miss Zhu of the Star Luo Empire disappeared.
The Killing City has gained a new captain for a special operations team.
A month later, Xue Qinghe finally arrived at the Slaughter Palace to say goodbye.
The two months she spent in the Killing City taught her many lessons and made her understand more clearly what reality is.
The more she understood these things, the more her gaze became inseparable from Huanming.
"Your Highness, have a safe journey."
Huanming and Yunsha personally saw Xue Qinghe off; they were more like friends than enemies.
"Kuiba, Miss Yunsha, I will remember you." Xue Qinghe raised her wine glass.
Huanming smiled faintly, "All good things must come to an end. My friend, I will remember you."
Xue Qinghe left, and Huanming did not see him off.
Because no matter how long she stays, she still has to go back.
After leaving the City of Slaughter, there was one more person in Xue Qinghe's carriage.
He was a middle-aged man who treated her with great respect.
"Young Master, news has come from the Grand Elder that the Spirit Hall has been preparing for war for three years and will launch an attack on the Slaughter City in three years."
Xue Qinghe frowned and asked a strange question: "Why is it necessary to attack the City of Slaughter?"
"Young Master, the City of Slaughter is a paradise of evil, and Kuiba is spreading heresy and trying to incite a rebellion against the Soul Masters," said Serpent Spear Douluo.
"Elder Serpent Spear, over the past two months, have you truly seen Slaughter City as a paradise of evil? The smiles of the civilians in Slaughter City are unlike those of civilians in other nations."
"Even so, the Kuiba must still be eliminated."
Xue Qinghe continued, "Was Kuiba really wrong? If we eliminate him, wouldn't the civilians of the Slaughter City become fish on a chopping block, at the mercy of the enemy?"
Serpent Spear Douluo said, "Young Master, Kuiba may be right, but if he doesn't die, the Spirit Hall will surely be destroyed by him. He once said that he would overthrow all unfair systems."
Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe fell silent.
She also knew that this was a cruel fact.
She admired Kuiba, but her home was on the other side.
This was destined to be a difficult decision.
"I don't want to discuss this issue anymore."
After saying this, Xue Qinghe closed his eyes to rest.
