Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 901 Damn it, Xuanzi is incompetent, he has brought shame and disgrace upon the country.

The light of various soul skills danced in the sky, as if a palette of paints had been overturned, quickly dyeing the night sky with all sorts of colors.

Painful screams and explosions mingled together, echoing through the sky.

At the top of Douling City.

The golden soul-guided shield shattered amidst the roar of cannon fire, only to rise again with the same golden soul-guided shield. If the Sun Moon Army and the beast tide hadn't focused their main attention on the soul masters who had left the city to fight, Spirit Battle City would probably have been occupied long ago.

Emperor Xue Linghao smelled the strong stench of blood in the air. His face turned pale and then red-rimmed, and his breathing became rapid and labored.

He never expected things to develop to this point.

I thought that Di Tian would lead the beast tide to betray the Sun and Moon, turning our seemingly hopeless situation around.

But no one expected that Di Tian would lead a beast tide to attack the Soul Masters of Dou and Shrek Academy, completely violating his promise to cooperate with Elder Xuan.

This was undoubtedly the last nail to seal the coffin.

In this war, neither the Douling Empire nor Shrek Academy is destined to be defeated.

Thinking of this, Xue Linghao clenched his fists and stepped forward to protect everyone in front of him.

Then he looked around and said in a deep voice:
"Damn it! Xuanzi is incompetent, he has brought shame and disgrace upon the nation!"

"He clearly told me before that he had already negotiated a cooperation agreement with Di Tian, ​​in which Di Tian would lead the beast tide to launch a surprise attack on the Sun and Moon Army on the battlefield. This is the trump card that the Empire has been talking about for a long time, but for safety reasons, it has not been explicitly stated!"

"Now, Di Tian has not kept his promise, and his so-called trump card has become a joke. As a result, our army has fallen into an even more unfavorable situation. Before long, we will be completely defeated. Xuan Zi bears a great responsibility for this matter!"

"The once mighty Douling Empire is now about to fall completely and be ruled by the treacherous Sun and Moon traitors. I am ashamed before my ancestors and the people of Douling. My heart is filled with unbearable sorrow!"

"Today, I am determined to die for my country, beneath the gates of Lingdou City!"

As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes, and he drew his long sword from his waist, looking as if he were ready to fight the Sun and Moon Army to the death.

Nearby, the cabinet ministers suddenly had a flash of inspiration and grabbed Xue Linghao's body, preventing him from going any further.

"What are you doing? Let me go! I want to go into battle and kill the enemy!"

Anger flashed across Xue Linghao's face, veins bulging on his forehead. He stretched his neck forward as if trying to escape the cabinet ministers' obstruction, but failed and was unable to break free.

The ministers all advised:
"Your Majesty, you mustn't! You are of inestimable worth; how could you do such a thing?"

"Your Majesty, you are the Empire. Wherever you are, the Empire is!"

A deep look of disappointment appeared on Xue Linghao's face:
Do you take me for a coward who fears death?

The Prime Minister shook his head and sighed:

"Your Majesty, this old minister believes that you are the most valiant emperor in the history of the empire."

"However, things haven't reached the point of no return yet, you don't need to go into battle!"

"As the inheritor of the Asura God's position, Lady Zhou Yi has the trump card inherited from the Asura God, which is enough to deal with the current situation."

Before leaving, Lady Zhou Yi specifically entrusted me with her trump card, saying that if the situation worsened, I should use it to stop the enemy. Ten thousand years ago, the Martial Soul Empire was just as arrogant as the Sun Moon Empire, but wasn't it ultimately crushed by Lord Tang San?

"A trump card inherited from the God of Asura?" Xue Linghao frowned. "Your Majesty, once this trump card is used, it cannot be interrupted. Once it is interrupted, everything is over. We must find a safe place to activate the soul guide shield."

As the prime minister spoke, he glanced around, his voice, infused with soul power, spreading rapidly:
"Don't worry, as long as we use this trump card, our Douling Empire will still win big. So what if the Sun and Moon Army is nothing but a bunch of chickens and dogs!"

"However, we still need everyone to hold on here and buy us time to use our trump cards."

Upon hearing these words, the soldiers guarding the city, who had been anxious, calmed down considerably, and a chorus of "Yes!" echoed throughout Lingdou City.

Normally, the Prime Minister has a good reputation in the Douling Empire and is known as a wise minister, so people are naturally willing to believe his words.

Soon, the Prime Minister and the other cabinet ministers escorted Emperor Xue Linghao to a bunker. They quickly activated a soundproof soul-guided shield, and then activated another soul-guided shield that served both as a shield and a defensive shield.

With a sound, the floor tiles were moved aside, revealing the dark entrance to the passageway.

The Prime Minister smiled broadly:

"Your Majesty, inspired by the words of this old minister, the soldiers will surely fight bravely against the enemy!"
This will buy you more time to retreat. You are of inestimable worth, the master of the empire. For them to sacrifice themselves for your retreat would surely be an immense honor for them in their final moments!

The so-called trump card left behind by Zhou Yi, the successor of the Asura God position, is actually fake. There is no such thing at all. If it weren't to give the soldiers who were in despair some confidence, the Prime Minister would not have needed to fabricate this lie to deceive them.

"Sigh!" Xue Linghao looked helpless. "Luckily, my brother-in-law said earlier that Xuanzi was unreliable and suggested that I prepare a way out in advance, otherwise I probably wouldn't have been able to escape today!"

The so-called secret passage was dug by his men after he followed the advice of the Xuanming Sect Master.

For a powerful Soul Master, doing something like this in secret is not difficult.

He did indeed harbor resentment towards Xuanzi.

Those insults directed at Xuanzi just now were indeed from his heart.

However, his idea of ​​staying behind to fight to the death was obviously false. As the Emperor of Douling, he firmly believed that as long as he escaped, there would always be hope for the restoration of his kingdom.

"Sect Master Xuanming certainly has insight!"

The Prime Minister nodded. “Alright, Your Majesty, we should go now. We can leave Lingdou City by following the secret passage. While the Sun and Moon Army’s attention is focused here, we can simply run all the way to the vicinity of the ocean and then use the ships that have been prepared to set sail.”

"Okay, let's go. Lingxun and the others are already waiting for us at the end of the tunnel!"

At this moment, at the end of the secret passage.

Xu Sanshi, and even Xue Lingxun and a series of other people with high status within the Douling Empire, had their hands and feet restricted by soul shackles, and even their own soul power was sealed.

These people all glared angrily at the Xuanming Sect Master.

The reason is simple: just now, the Xuanming Sect Master exposed his traitorous identity and directly joined forces with some Sun and Moon Realm experts who were lurking here to successfully capture these high-ranking people in the Douling Empire.

The Xuanming Sect Master stood with his hands behind his back, a complex look flashing in his eyes:
"I am doing this for your own good. The Sun Moon Empire is powerful, and the only way out is to surrender. If you resist, you will surely suffer bad consequences. Perhaps you cannot accept it now, but as time goes by, you will understand my good intentions."

The crowd remained silent, as there was no point in saying anything at this point.

The Xuanming Sect Master sighed and looked at Jing Hongchen beside him.
