Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 740 Bloodbath Across Three Thousand Miles of Frozen Sea!

The Sea Princess took a deep breath, closed her eyes slightly, and used her spiritual power to activate the Mermaid Pearl, slowly channeling the massive spiritual energy within it into Jiang Ming's spiritual sea.

After leaving a wisp of spiritual power to stabilize the spiritual energy output of the Mermaid Pearl, the Sea Princess probed her own spiritual power into Jiang Ming's spiritual sea.

After the spiritual energy from the Mermaid Pearl fell into Jiang Ming's spiritual sea, it scattered aimlessly.

Even so, the scattered spiritual energy did alleviate the near-shattering state of Jiang Ming's spiritual sea.

The sea princess glanced at the nine-colored barrier in front of her, but instead of touching it, she chose to repair the spiritual sea outside the barrier.

Based on the power Jiang Ming displayed a few days ago, the Sea Princess concluded that the situation in the spiritual sea within the Nine-Colored Barrier might be worse than she imagined!
It's important to understand that the attack Jiang Ming unleashed earlier had already reached the level of a Limit Douluo! Even with such power, he still had to use mental energy sealing to slow the collapse of his mental sea, demonstrating the severity of his injuries!
Completely repairing Jiang Ming's mental sea will undoubtedly be a massive undertaking!
According to the Sea Princess's own estimate, it would take at least a month!
However, for a soul beast, especially for a sea soul beast like her who has lived for over 600,000 years, let alone a month, even a year would be just a blink of an eye.

She has that patience.

The Sea Princess's spiritual power gently and slowly controlled the spiritual energy that entered Jiang Ming's spiritual sea from the Mermaid Pearl, repairing it little by little, like Nuwa mending the sky.

On land, Zhongli Wu and the others had already returned to Mingdu two days ago.

Without pausing for even a moment, Zhongli Wu went directly to the palace to see Xu Tianran.

When Zhongli Wu entered the palace and saw Xu Tianran, his eyes narrowed, and he was somewhat taken aback.

In his view, no, in everyone's view, Xu Tianran looked perfectly normal.

But as the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, and as an evil spirit master who was just one step away from reaching the pinnacle, he was extremely sensitive to certain things.

At this moment, Xu Tianran appeared perfectly normal, even more so than before when he had not suffered any setbacks.

But the extremely fierce and brutal aura in his eyes grew stronger and stronger!

Even he, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, felt a little alarmed!
However, this is not a bad thing for him.

After all, the more ferocious and brutal Xu Tianran's mentality was about to be revealed, the better!
Inside the palace, Xu Tianran and Zhongli Wu talked alone for over an hour. None of the guards, or even Xu Tianran's empress Ju Zi, were allowed to stay inside.

No one knows what Zhongliwu and Xu Tianran talked about, only that Zhongliwu seemed to be in a good mood when he came out of the palace.

Just after Zhongliwu left, an imperial edict was quietly issued in Mingdu.

The Royal Hall of Worship, the Hall of Bright Virtue, the Terrorclaw Soul Master Corps (one of the Hands of the Empire), and the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps all received orders.

In the Royal Hall of Worship and the Hall of Bright Virtue, the gathering place of the powerful figures of the two Sun Moon Empires, dozens of powerful figures carrying mysterious objects set off from Mingdu and headed north!
Meanwhile, the Terrorclaw Soul Master Corps and the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps quietly withdrew from their original garrisons, allowing other Soul Master Corps of the Empire to take over. The force of over a thousand men headed towards Dongyang City in the north.

Not only them, but after two and a half years, the Holy Spirit Cult has once again carried out a large-scale mobilization. Apart from the Evil Eye Tyrant, with whom they could not find any cooperative relationship, all the elders and worshippers that the Holy Spirit Cult could currently contact were summoned and, likewise, headed north!

Such a large-scale mobilization is actually very difficult to conceal, but in the past two years, Xu Tianran has used the ruthless method of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free" to completely eliminate the spies in Mingdu.

Furthermore, while these people were on their way, Mingdu immediately implemented a city-wide lockdown for fifteen days, allowing entry but not exit! The entire Mingdu was placed under martial law by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Team!
And all of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Even though nothing stays secret forever, it will take at least ten days for the three great empires and Shrek Academy to get news of the unusual events in Mingdu!

In the palace, Ju Zi pushed Xu Tianran from the shade into the sunlight, her face full of worry.

Xu Tianran issued the order too quickly this time. By the time she received the news, all parties in Mingdu had already begun to take action, and she was powerless to stop them.

"Your Majesty, I believe this operation was still too hasty."

After hesitating for a second, Orange still spoke tactfully.

Xu Tianran made such a big decision only an hour after Zhongliwu entered the palace. This is too impulsive!
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran did not reply. Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly, concealing the ferocity and madness in them, and looked at the dazzling sun in the sky.

Originally, he really liked the sun. The royal family of the Sun Moon Empire inherited the Sun as their martial soul. Although his martial soul wasn't the sun, he still liked it very much.

But now, whenever he sees that sun, a hint of disgust flashes uncontrollably in his eyes!
Because now, when he sees that high, dazzling sun, he thinks of Jiang Ming.

That guy was too dazzling, so dazzling that even the emperor of the most powerful empire on the Douluo Continent, the Sun Moon Empire, dared not look directly at him!
why!
Why did Jiang Ming appear when I had been scheming for so long, even paying the terrible price of being paralyzed from the waist down, taking down and eliminating my rivals in the empire one by one, and was about to realize my ideals and ambitions?
Why is Jiang Ming so powerful? So powerful that even with the combined strength of the entire nation, the alliance of evil soul masters, and even the combined attacks of soul beasts, they couldn't kill him!
Even now, Zhongli Wu says Jiang Ming has lost his memory and is seriously injured.

Even under these circumstances, despite exhausting all his resources and using every last card he could muster, he still lacked the confidence to kill Jiang Ming!
A deep sense of powerlessness swept over Xu Tianran's heart.

Jiang Ming has become his inner demon. If Jiang Ming is not eliminated, not only will he not be able to realize his ambitions, but his soul power cultivation will also remain stagnant.

Doesn't he know that this decision is impulsive?

He knew he wasn't stupid to be sitting on the throne of the Sun Moon Empire!

But he also knew that without killing Jiang Ming, everything would be in vain.

Putting everything else aside, if he dared to start a war, with Jiang Ming's strength, if he fired a few level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons in Mingdu, no one could stop him. His life, and the life of the entire Mingdu, would be as if it were in Jiang Ming's hands.

As for whether Jiang Ming dares to do that...
He doesn't dare to gamble!

If the bet is lost, the entire Ming capital will be wiped off the map from the mainland!
The city lord of Dongyang City was in a real predicament. Just a few hours earlier, nearly thirty people, including powerful members of the Royal Offering Hall led by Grand Elder Kong Deming and powerful members of the Mingde Hall led by Ye Yulin, all ninth-level Soul Masters, had come to his city lord's mansion.

God knows what his mindset was when he saw these people. He was just a Soul Douluo, an eighth-level Soul Master!

Any one of these people could easily wipe him out!
Not to mention, there are also a similar number of powerful evil spirit masters from the Holy Spirit Cult over there.

What are these nearly fifty Title Douluo-level powerhouses up to?

Are the three great empires going to gather their forces and launch a war of annihilation in Dongyang City?

This doesn't make sense! Dongyang City is located behind the Sun Moon Empire; the real threat is only the Sea Soul Beasts!
"You don't need to worry about us. The Terrorclaw Soul Master Corps and the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps will arrive in Dongyang City in half a day. Go and mobilize all the resources in Dongyang City to ensure they can be replenished at any time."

Furthermore, all the garrison troops of Dongyang City were assembled.

Among these people, Kong Deming held the greatest prestige. He glanced at the still bewildered Lord of Dongyang City and spoke in a deep voice. With that, Kong Deming flipped his wrist, revealing the imperial edict issued by Xu Tianran.

The city lord of Dongyang City received the imperial edict with trembling hands, not daring to look at it.

Given this situation, who else but His Majesty can mobilize them?
Or, given this situation, does the authenticity of the imperial edict even matter?
Whether he looks at it or not, he must obey!
"I see."

The city lord of Dongyang City respectfully handed the imperial edict back to Kong Deming, and then immediately went to mobilize resources, not daring to delay even for a moment!

After the city lord of Dongyang left, Kong Deming, Ye Yulin, and Zhong Liwu came to the tall city wall of Dongyang and looked at the boundless ice sea in the distance.

"Imperial Advisor, what did you say to His Majesty that made him issue such an order?!"

Kong Deming turned to look at Zhongli Wu beside him.

Zhongli Wu smiled; his middle-aged appearance even gave off a kind of amiable feeling.

"Master Kong, didn't you ask me this on the way here? I've already answered you."

Kong Deming snorted coldly and said, "Just to kill Jiang Ming? Does a Jiang Ming who has lost his memory and is seriously injured really require so many of us to take action? And you even got His Majesty to issue an order to massacre people across three thousand miles of the Ice Sea?!"

Yes, in the imperial edict that the city lord of Dongyang City dared not look at, Xu Tianran wrote the following sentence: "If the Sea Soul Beast does not hand over Jiang Ming, I will slaughter the entire Ice Sea for three thousand miles!"

Bloodshed across three thousand miles of the icy sea!

This is not a simple sentence!

A king's word is law. This three thousand li is not a figure of speech, but a real three thousand li of icy sea!
Three thousand miles of icy sea, how many sea spirit beasts must be killed?
Even mountains of corpses and seas of blood are insufficient to describe this!
Even if it wasn't human, but a sea spirit beast, this is still far too bloody.

Kong Deming strongly suspected that Zhongli Wu had bewitched Xu Tianran. After all, if the bloody massacre of the three thousand miles of icy sea were to occur, the resulting bloody aura and the vengeful spirits would be extremely beneficial to the cultivation of evil soul masters!
Upon hearing Kong Deming's words, Zhongli Wu shook his head and said, "Hall Master Kong, I have no reason to lie to you. I did not bewitch His Majesty; this was an order issued by His Majesty himself!"

To be honest, Xu Tianran was somewhat surprised when he wrote those words in the imperial edict.

But at the same time, he was incredibly excited.

Just as Kong Deming imagined, the resentment and souls generated by the horrific massacre would be extremely beneficial to the cultivation of evil spirit masters!
补！
Highly nourishing!

In any case, slaughtering the three thousand miles of the frozen sea would only benefit them, not harm them, the evil soul masters.

Of course, afterwards, the sea spirit beast might recklessly attack Dongyang City.

But so what? Would an evil spirit master care about that?
Rather, this is just another supplement to their Holy Spirit Church.

After all, the sea spirit beasts' attack on Dongyang City would lead to countless resentments and souls in the ensuing war!

Why would their Holy Spirit Cult cooperate with Xu Tianran?

On one hand, the Holy Spirit Cult wanted to use Xu Tianran to bring the evil soul masters back into the light of day; on the other hand, they valued Xu Tianran's ambition to wage war and unify the continent!
For the evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult, war is a catalyst for rapidly increasing their strength!

"How could this be! His Majesty..."

Kong Deming's eyes widened, but recalling the changes in Xu Tianran over the past two years, his hands involuntarily clenched again.

He had witnessed the changes in His Majesty over the past two and a half years.

Perhaps Zhongli Wu wasn't lying to him.

But if His Majesty has become like this, then the empire...
Kong Deming closed his eyes in anguish; he could no longer see the future of the empire.

Not only Kong Deming, but Ye Yulin, who was standing to the side, also looked worried and sighed.

Instead, Zhongli Wu spoke up to comfort him, saying, "His Majesty's change is clearly because of Jiang Ming. As long as we kill Jiang Ming and break His Majesty's inner demons, he may change soon. What do you two think?"

Anyone with eyes can see why Xu Tianran has become like this.

Jiang Ming!

It's all because of Jiang Ming!
Kong Deming took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

"Perhaps. Hopefully, the sea spirit beast can see the situation clearly and hand Jiang Ming over."

He truly didn't want to commit such a massacre, but if those sea spirit beasts were foolish enough not to hand over Jiang Ming, then...
Everyone knows that this is Jiang Ming's most vulnerable moment.

Amnesiac, severely injured, and still in the sea area near their Sun Moon Empire.

Although I don't know why this is happening, if I can't kill Jiang Ming now, I'll never have another chance.

Half a day passed quickly, and the Terrorclaw Soul Master Corps and the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps arrived in Dongyang City one after another in the afterglow of dusk.

That night, Dongyang City was very quiet. Even some petty thieves seemed to feel a strong sense of oppression and stayed at home.

The city of Dongyang, which usually has a vibrant nightlife, was eerily quiet that night, with no one showing their face.

Nothing happened that night. As the sun's rays dispelled the darkness and illuminated the earth, the group, who had been prepared in Dongyang City, set off!

Nearly fifty powerful individuals with cultivation levels above Title Douluo, over a thousand members of the two Guardian Soul Master Corps with a minimum cultivation level of Soul Master, along with five thousand Soul Masters and a garrison of half civilians stationed in Dongyang City, sailed towards the depths of the icy sea aboard dozens of large ships.

Those powerful individuals and the elite members of the Soul Master Corps all possess the ability to fly, but they need to maintain their condition.

If Jiang Ming is involved, then kill him directly!

If the Sea Spirit Beast doesn't hand over Jiang Ming, then first slaughter the entire three thousand miles of the Ice Sea to force it to hand over Jiang Ming!
P.S.: Happy New Year to everyone! Wishing all readers a prosperous and successful year, with all your wishes fulfilled! May all the handsome men and beautiful women be happy and fulfilled, and may the Year of the Snake bring you great fortune!
