Truth be told, he was dying to know.
He simply couldn't stand it when conversations were left halfway.
Especially about matters of his own interest.
If Old Peel had come out just a bit later, he would have heard the full conversation at Chrysanthemum Pass.
Instead, the other party appeared out of the blue without a single peep.
Truth be told, he almost thought Old Peel had intentionally eavesdropped.
Otherwise, why would he appear at the most critical moment?
Unfortunately, judging by the other's final expression, it didn't seem to be the case.
It was mainly evident from the series of questions asked at the end.
The eyes were incredibly sincere.
Not at all as if he was putting on an act.
"Old Poison, manage your Qingfeng Tower well. After this is over, I might attract the attention of Martial Soul Hall. I hope that when I return from my cultivation, your Qingfeng Tower can help me unify the Douluo Realm," Ye Feng said at this time.
Everything he did had a very specific purpose!
"Unify Douluo??"
Upon hearing this remark, Du Gubo stared at Ye Feng in utter astonishment.
Good grief, how old was the guy, and yet he dared say something like that.
It was utterly audacious.
To think that unification was what the emperors of the two great empires desired most.
And yet, they hadn't even managed to achieve it!
"Mhm, to unify the entirety of Douluo Realm, that's the ultimate goal for which I established Qingfeng Tower!" Ye Feng nodded.
This was his final thought and the reason behind founding Qingfeng Tower.
Qingfeng Tower of Ling Feng Sect was to be his trump card in the future.
The trump card to command the entire continent!
"Old Peel, seriously, I don't quite understand you. You're young and you want to unify the entire Soul Land, how tiring that would be!" Du Gubo looked at Ye Feng, his eyes filled with a unique light.
Indeed, he couldn't fathom the guy before him.
Shouldn't cultivation be the main focus?
To unify the entire Douluo Realm would surely require suffering beyond what ordinary people could conceive.
"You, Old Poison, just focus on developing and expanding Qingfeng Tower. Don't worry too much about the rest. But before I leave, I'll help you advance to Level 92. Being at a higher level, you'll be able to recruit more people into Qingfeng Tower," Ye Feng told Du Gubo.
Truly, Du Gubo didn't need to understand too much.
Because he previously had no interest in these matters at all.
He was basically a hermit.
He wouldn't know that right now, Martial Soul Hall was eyeing them covetously.
In a few years, chaos would undoubtedly erupt.
In the midst of turmoil, Qingfeng Tower must have the ability to defend itself.
And he planned to unify the entire continent at that time.
The current strife and conflict ultimately harmed the common people the most.
Having arrived at Douluo Realm, he couldn't just sit idly by.
At the same time, Ye Feng sensed that Du Gubo was ready to level up.
Since that was the case, he might as well assist him in advancing.
In fact, he had ways to help others advance.
It was just that helping a Titled Douluo would require quite an effort.
Plus, some Immortal Grass Elixirs would have to be used.
After his advancement, Qingfeng Tower would command more respect from certain forces.
After all, a Level 91 Titled Douluo is on an entirely different scale compared to Level 92.
Their combat power is also significantly stronger!
"Good grief, you really plan on doing this, huh. But do you know the state of the continent these past years? The two great empires haven't unified the continent for such a long time, and especially now, with a new power called Martial Soul Hall appearing, it's practically an equilibrium between three parties," Du Gubo said to Ye Feng, looking utterly incredulous at his resolute attitude.
He put aside the notion of enhancing Soul Power for the time being!
He wanted Ye Feng to understand the gap!
Compared to Martial Soul Hall, Qingfeng Tower is nowhere near in terms of combat power.
To be blunt, aside from financial strength, Qingfeng Tower couldn't match even one percent of Martial Soul Hall in combat prowess.
Attempting to unify the entire Soul Land would likely demand extraordinary hardship and face resistance.
The two great empires and Martial Soul Hall!
If these three powers were to unite, Qingfeng Tower could vanish in an instant.
"Don't worry, when the time comes, these will be trivial concerns. But after I leave, I forbid you from getting involved in any conflicts. If something does happen, you must declare Qingfeng Tower's perpetual neutrality to the outside world," Ye Feng said, stressing the importance of this point.
It was crucial to Qingfeng Tower and to the plans he had for the future.
He had to inform Du Gubo in advance.
To prevent Old Poison from impulsively charging into the fray with Qingfeng Tower.
Once entangled in it, it would be very difficult to get out.
"Relax, Old Peel, even if you asked me, I wouldn't go. Isn't it nicer to age in peace and quiet?" Du Gubo nodded and said to Ye Feng.
Join in the strife? He would avoid it if he could!
After all, he still wanted to live a peaceful life.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng's words seemed to make Du Gubo ponder something he considered significant.
That was perhaps Old Peel's relationship with Martial Soul Hall wasn't as he had imagined.
He guessed that Old Peel knew someone important, or had some sort of subtle connection with someone important.
But this connection wasn't known to everyone.
Only a few people were aware of it.
Chrysanthemum was one of them.
It also proved why Martial Soul Hall as a whole displayed an adversarial attitude towards him, while displaying a different demeanor towards Old Peel.
Because previously, Martial Soul Hall had sent someone to kill the small team Ye Feng and his companions were part of.
