Chapter 243 The Turmoil in Ming Capital (Part Two)
Xu Tianran looked at Ju Zi, gently took out the plan that Luo Yu had written for him, placed it in front of Ju Zi, and continued, "Do you know what Luo Yu said in that meeting?"
Orange shook her head and asked, "I can't guess that..."
"This is the strategy I asked him for on how to deal with the Holy Spirit Cult and Shrek Academy. If Luo Yu had been born eight thousand years ago, before our Xu family ancestor led the Soul Master Legion to invade the heart of Douluo Continent, we wouldn't have fallen into Shrek's hands in that battle. Now it's a new era, and it belongs to him. I know you want to ask about the Holy Spirit Cult, so just listen to me quietly."
"For us, the Holy Spirit Cult is interdependent with us; in fact, it's an inseparable partnership between us. Those evil soul masters are like stray dogs on Douluo Continent, constantly being besieged by the three great empires and Shrek Academy. But our Sun Moon Empire has accepted them, and they have become our partners."
"They have endured and developed for countless years to reach their current scale. In terms of high-end combat power, they are our greatest ally. As for the Holy Spirit Cult, since it is composed of evil soul masters, they cannot possibly stand in the open and do anything. Because once they step into the open, they will be besieged by Shrek Academy and the three great empires. If we also choose to follow the three great empires, there will be no place for them on the Douluo Continent. They simply want to get rid of the title of evil soul masters and have the world recognize them as the orthodox ones. We each get what we need, but we are also wary of each other."
"Why can't we launch a swift war against the three great empires? Because we don't yet possess the high-end combat capabilities to counter them in the short term, and we can't afford to have the Holy Spirit Cult suddenly betray us just when we've successfully countered them and are on the verge of victory. All the decision-makers in our Sun Moon Empire are waiting..."
As he said this, a cold glint flashed across Xu Tianran's lips.
Orange listened quietly, a chill running through her heart, but when she heard the sound of falling feathers, she was filled with joy.
His Highness the Crown Prince is far too cunning. Fortunately, he still confides in her, but she never expected that Luo Yu held such a high place in Xu Tianran's heart. Luo Yu, you really didn't disappoint Sister Orange!
The thought of Luo Yu made Ju Zi's heart ache. She had repeatedly risked her life to warn Luo Yu, hoping to prevent him from getting involved in the Crown Prince's scandal. But this time, she didn't know how many people would be drawn into the vortex of Xu Tianran and Luo Yu's scheme.
Orange gritted her teeth and said, "Waiting for what?"
Xu Tianran said, "A chance to break the deadlock."
Looking out the window, Xu Tianran suddenly laughed, "It seems more than one person has realized the importance of Luo Yu. The people of the three great empires are indeed shameless, daring to make a move in my Mingdu!"
Just as Xu Tianran opened his mouth, a familiar voice rang out in the air: "Your Excellencies, now that you're all here, stop hiding and come out."
A large number of guards surged out instantly, completely surrounding Xu Tianran's study. Suddenly, a white light shone in the sky, illuminating the dark night sky with crystal clarity.
"Are you looking for me, Your Majesties?" Luo Yu, dressed in a blood-red soul-guided battle armor, flew in the air, gazing at Du Busi not far away.
"Boy, since you know, that's good. Come over obediently, lest I have to take action myself and cause unnecessary casualties." A strange voice rang out. The sky seemed to suddenly split open, and a thick, dark green cloud appeared out of nowhere. The green cloud unfolded, and a figure walked out from it.
Emerging from the green mist at this moment was none other than the Sect Master of the Body Sect, the level 98 Body Douluo, Du Bu Si, who was close to the Limit Douluo level.
"No need for your troubles, Your Majesties. I'm afraid you won't be able to take me away today." Luo Yu looked at Du Busi opposite him without the slightest fear.
"Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being impolite!"
Poison Undying snorted coldly, and a large hand descended upon Luo Yu without warning.
"Poison Undying, isn't it a bit inappropriate to attack a junior like this?" An old voice rang out in the air. Poison Undying immediately withdrew his attack and looked at the newcomer with some surprise.
A figure hovered proudly behind Luo Yu, his long black robe fluttering gently in the night breeze.
He stood there, seemingly floating on the void, as if he had stood there proudly since ancient times.
His face was expressionless, but there was an indescribable pride on his aged features, as if the sky was under his control and the earth should submit to him.
Poison Undying said with some surprise, "Long Xiaoyao, so it was you."
Long Xiaoyao looked at the dark green-clad Poison Undying and said, "I advise you to leave Mingdu. Your brother died at Mu En's hands. If you dare to continue attacking, I don't mind making your Body Sect die out."
Upon hearing Long Xiaoyao's words, Du Busi narrowed his eyes and coldly said, "Long Xiaoyao, stop acting like an old man. If I remember correctly, you were originally from the Heavenly Soul Empire, but now you've not only fallen to the point of joining an evil soul master sect, but you've also become a lackey of the Sun Moon Empire. This sect master despises you."
…………
Luo Yu looked at Xu Tianran and, with Xu Tianran's permission, entered the study. "How did Your Highness know their target was me?"
Xu Tianran smiled, closed the book, and said, "Ever since you defeated Wang Qiu'er and swept through Shrek Academy, the titled Douluo of the three great empires have been entering Mingdu one after another. Although I can't stop them, I can guess what their purpose is."
"I didn't expect them to actually make a move, but Your Highness, do we need to send a legion to support Mingdu right now?" Luo Yu looked at Xu Tianran and continued to ask.
Xu Tianran glanced at the Holy Spirit Cult and the Title Douluo of the three great empires who were locked in battle outside. Although the Holy Spirit Cult was outnumbered, with Long Xiaoyao and the cult leader in charge, not many of them were willing to fight.
"No need. If we really can't hold out, then we'll send someone to Mingde Hall to mobilize more people to protect the palace."
Xu Tianran knew their goal, but the current situation was a miscalculation on their part; they hadn't expected Luo Yu to be with Xu Tianran.
"Your Highness, I understand. I'll take my leave now. The experimental subject at Mingde Hall No. 2 is just one step away from completion. I'd like to take this opportunity to try again." Luo Yu didn't want to stay in this place. Xu Tianran was a sensitive person, especially with Ju Zi nearby.
This isn't an easy question; it's a death trap.
"I've handed over control of Mingdu's Soul Guidance Matrix to Silver Moon Douluo. Go..."
Luo Yu left the Sun and Moon Imperial Palace under the escort of a Title Douluo assigned by Xu Tianran, but the three great empires were far from quiet.
"Hurry up, if we miss this opportunity, we'll have no chance..."
At this moment, Huo Yuhao, leading the Shrek Academy and Tang Sect members, began to deploy a large number of soul-guided bombs near the Sun Moon Palace, using his simulated soul skills and in cooperation with Cai Tou.
Under Du Busi's instructions, the members of the Body Sect also acted together with the Tang Sect members. Rather than acting together, they were more like being completely commanded by Huo Yuhao.
"Are we really going to do this?" Wang Qiu'er asked Huo Yuhao after a moment of silence.
Huo Yuhao said, "If we don't do this, the Sun Moon Empire will launch a war against us shortly after this competition. Only by creating a large enough commotion while the Title Douluos of the three great empires are besieging the Sun Moon Imperial Palace can we give the three great empires enough time to prepare. We have no other choice!"
Under Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei's arrangement, a large number of soul-guided bombs were placed near the Sun Moon Imperial Palace.
Although the number of these soul-guided bombs was far less than the large number of weapons in the original work, their target was clear: to place them in key areas.
The current situation is clear: the titled Douluo of the three great empires have entangled the Holy Spirit Cult, and a large number of soul-guided armies have also been tied up in the main battlefield of the imperial palace, as well as in the chaos created by the Body Sect and other titled Douluo.
The entire capital of Ming is now in complete chaos.
Large numbers of personnel from the three empires were constantly destroying various important facilities in Mingdu. If it weren't for the strict security of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, they would have tried to break into the academy several times.
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy is the foundation of the Sun Moon Empire. If it falls, the Sun Moon Empire will immediately perish!
That is why the security here is so tight, leaving no loopholes for the people of the three great empires to exploit.
"Boom!"
Violent explosions echoed throughout Mingdu, where people fled the disaster. During their escape, some died from trampling, some from the aftershocks of the explosions, and some even died at the hands of the people from the three great empires.
Because the riot came suddenly, the Soul Master Legion of Mingdu was completely unprepared, but as time went on, the Soul Master Legion of Mingdu immediately made an effective response.
With a large number of people being assigned, the space and opportunities for people from the three great empires to operate became increasingly limited.
"They're there, make your move!" A team of thirty Soul Masters discovered the presence of a group of people from the three great empires.
Without hesitation, they immediately began to use their soul tools to launch a counterattack, led by a Soul Master captain.
This is the city defense army of Mingdu. Large numbers of city defense troops are constantly being dispatched. People from the three great empires are killed one after another, and they come in waves like a tide, bringing people from the three great empires from all directions.
"Senior Brother, the Sect Master has sent a message indicating that our mission is almost complete." A Soul Saint from the Body Sect said, looking at the huge dark green cloud in the sky.
"I see."
The members of the Body Sect, led by that Soul Saint, fought and retreated, but were still separated from Shrek Academy and Tang Sect by the city defense army of the Sun Moon Empire.
"They're ahead, keep chasing!"
A level-four soul-guided high-explosive bomb exploded beside the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy members, and the powerful shockwave forced them to take action to defend themselves.
"His Highness has given the order: leave no survivors! Kill them all! Make sure these people from the three great empires never leave alive!"
"kill!"
Numerous soul-guided rays were continuously fired out, and under the siege of this well-trained army, the situation of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy members began to worsen.
"collapse……"
Numerous signal flares rose into the sky above Mingdu, followed by an even stronger Soul Master Legion. This time, it was the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Legion, one of the five most elite Soul Master Legions of the Japanese Empire!
"The enemy's reinforcements have arrived, but there's still no news from Elder Xuan?" Xu Sanshi asked anxiously. At this moment, he was struggling to hold up the Xuanming Shield to defend against the dense low-level soul-guided rays from behind.
Beibei wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said, "Wait a little longer. Elder Xuan has already gone to the Mingdu Imperial Palace with the Sect Master of the Body Sect. With the two of them working together, there will definitely be no problem. Let's wait a little longer, let's hold on a little longer..."
"But, Senior Brother..." Jiang Nannan looked troubled as she kept dodging the city defense troops chasing from behind.
"We're almost at the rendezvous point with Elder Xuan, let's hang in there a little longer!"
At the same time, facing the attacks of the two powerful figures, Long Xiaoyao remained fearless, raising his hands in mid-air and striking out with his palms towards Du Busi and Elder Xuan respectively.
A deep dragon roar, like rolling thunder, echoed through the air. In the eyes of Elder Xuan and Poison Immortal, it seemed as if an old dragon was turning over and revealing its claws to them.
The two black palm shadows swelled in the air against the wind, quickly transforming into giant palms that were hundreds of meters high and as majestic as mountains.
"Hey!" Poison Undying uttered a low shout, his entire body surging with green light. Behind him, a layer of dark green light and shadow suddenly unfolded. Instantly, his arms grew larger, and his two giant palms slammed forward, perfectly blocking the black palm shadow.
"Bang!" The deep rumble caused the Mingdu Imperial Palace below to tremble. Du Busi's body shuddered slightly, but his large, dark green hands had already plunged into the black palm shadow, tearing it apart right in front of him.
On the other side, Elder Xuan's response was far more aggressive. He took a step in the void, and behind him, the image of the Taotie Divine Ox flashed. Above his head, two spiraling horns emerged, along with nine soul rings: two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red. He then unleashed a powerful punch with his right fist.
"Boom!"
The black palm shadow dissipated, and Elder Xuan was sent flying more than ten meters away, while Long Xiaoyao in the distance swayed slightly on his shoulder.
"I'm giving you two a chance. Leave Mingdu now, or all the people from the three great empires inside Mingdu will die!" Xu Tianran said in a condescending tone as he looked at the two who had been repelled.
"You think you can keep us three great empires here with your city defense army? How utterly ridiculous!" Poisonous Undying curled his lip in disdain.
"Oh, really? What if we add the Soul Master Legion?" Xu Tianran looked at the war-torn Mingdu without showing any emotion.
