Douluo Dalu: Start with a Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgement

Chapter 501 Tiandou City

Looking at Xu Jiujiu who was still stubborn, Ji Lin shook his head with amusement. However, when he thought of the exciting scene last night, his heart felt slightly warm and he reacted again unconsciously. Feeling the heat in his thighs, Xu Jiujiu's body stiffened and he thought to himself that something was wrong.

Sure enough, the next moment, she was pushed back onto the bed by Ji Lin. Before she could beg for mercy, the battle began anew with a creaking sound and the bed shaking.

In the Stigmata Space, Xue Di, who had just calmed down, looked at the renewed war outside through the Stigmata Space and shook her head. This was one of the reasons why she fled back to the Stigmata Space as soon as she woke up. Xue Di, who had read many novels, knew that men were very energetic in the morning. Fortunately, she ran fast, otherwise, there would be more than one Xu Jiujiu being bullied by Ji Lin outside.

After what happened last night, the relationship between Xue Di and Ji Lin became closer, and Ji Lin also lifted the shielding of Xue Di's Stigma Space. Xue Di can now freely view the scenery outside through the Stigma Space. Unlike before, she had to report to Ji Lin and needed Ji Lin's consent to enter and exit the Stigma Space freely.

Watching the battle outside, Xue Di unconsciously clamped her legs together. She quickly blocked the stigmata space to avoid thinking about what happened last night.

In Ji Lin's room, as the battle came to an end, the sounds of fighting gradually subsided.

Ji Lin held Jiujiu in his arms, breathing slightly and sweating profusely, enjoying the afterglow of flying into the sky. "Sister Jiujiu, it will be more fun to invite Qiu'er and the others to join us next time."

Xu Jiujiu gave Ji Lin a weak look and said, "You wish!"

Ji Lin smiled. Things had already started. Xu Jiujiu had become much more accepting of this kind of thing. Next time if Wang Qiuer was invited to join them, Xu Jiujiu would probably not refuse. After all, Xu Jiujiu had a lot of fun last night.

After staying in Ji Lin's arms for a long time, her breathing gradually calmed down and she actually fell asleep again. Well, the battle was so intense last night and he woke her up early in the morning to play overtime. Her physical fitness was not as good as Wang Qiuer and the others. It would be strange if she was not tired.

Ji Lin did not disturb Xu Jiujiu's rest. After washing up, he went out and asked the maid to prepare breakfast for Xu Jiujiu, and then went to the underground base alone. He did not forget what he promised Xuan Ziwen to cooperate with him in studying the Holy Judgment of Skyfire. After all, his Molten Knights still counted on Xuan Ziwen!
For the next period of time, Ji Lin stayed in Zizaimen and cooperated with Xuan Ziwen's research every day. Unfortunately, although Xuan Ziwen was a genius soul guide, it was impossible for him to achieve anything in a short period of time. He was always incapable of doing it alone, and he still needed other excellent soul guides to work together, brainstorm, and communicate with each other to create sparks of wisdom and grasp that fleeting flash of inspiration.

If Jing Hongchen, the leader of Mingde Hall, was here, I think he would definitely gain something. Unfortunately, as the leader of Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen is the person Xu Tianran focuses on. It is impossible for him to sneak to Xingluo City, and he doesn't have the time to help him with research.

Fortunately, the situation on the mainland is now stable. Although the war is still going on, it is not as intense as at the beginning. The Sun-Moon Empire and the original Three Douluo Kingdoms have fallen into a stalemate, and no one has come out to break the deadlock. This situation is the best for Ji Lin. After all, what he needs now is time.

Whether it's the time it takes for Zizaimen's disciples to grow, the time it takes for him to grow himself, or the establishment of the Molten Knights, it all takes time.

Time passed slowly, and half a month passed in a flash. On this day, Ji Lin received a message from Meng Hongchen that the head of Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen, was sent by the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, Xu Tianran, to Tiandou City, the capital of the Tianhun Empire, to serve as the city lord. Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen also followed. Ji Lin's expression moved. Tiandou City was the capital of the Tianhun Empire and had been occupied by the Sun Moon Empire for some time. He did not expect Jing Hongchen to be sent to Tiandou City as the city lord. What surprised him even more was that Meng Hongchen also went to Tiandou City.

Seeing that he was happy, Xu Jiujiu smiled and said, "Haven't you always wanted to bring your Miss Meng back? This is a good opportunity. She is also needed for our current research. Do you want to go?"

Ji Lin nodded and said, "That's what I meant. Not only Meng, I will also bring Xiao Hongchen here. He is also a talented soul guide. If I wasn't afraid of attracting the attention of the Sun Moon Empire, I would have brought Jing Hongchen back with me. I don't know how many of his old subordinates he brought to Tiandou City this time, but it shouldn't be many. His foundation is still the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy, so it's impossible for him to bring too many people to Tiandou City."

After making the decision, Ji Lin did not hesitate too much. He said hello to Wang Qiuer and others, and headed towards the Tianhun Empire after leaving Xingluo City. Thinking of Tiandou City, Ji Lin remembered that Tiandou City seemed to be the birthplace of the Tang Sect. Unfortunately, Tiandou City has now fallen into the hands of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Tiandou City is a well-known city in the entire Douluo Continent, and it is located in the west of the north-central part of the Tianhun Empire. It is the most important transit point for grain storage and troop transportation. The geographical location of Tiandou City is very important to the Sun-Moon Empire. It can be said to be a strategic location. The Sun-Moon Empire will definitely send heavy troops to guard it.

The reason why Xu Tianran sent Jing Hongchen to guard Tiandou City was mainly because Tiandou City was very important. It also showed his trust in Jing Hongchen. Jing Hongchen's strength ranked among the top few in the Sun and Moon Empire. With him in charge, Xu Tianran could rest assured and not worry about Tiandou City being recaptured by the Tianhun Empire.

Although Jing Hongchen had remained neutral before Xu Tianran ascended the throne, Jing Hongchen's Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy was very important to the Sun Moon Empire. Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen led the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy to defeat Shrek Academy and made history. Therefore, Xu Tianran still valued Jing Hongchen very much. Of course, Jing Hongchen's status could not be compared with his confidants, such as Orange.

Because the Sun-Moon Empire was forced to launch the war hastily, the burden on the Sun-Moon Empire itself was also extremely great. Although it had the upper hand at the beginning under Orange's reasonable tactics, as time went on, the supply lines became longer, and after occupying a large area of ​​the Heavenly Soul Empire, it was necessary to divide its troops to garrison, and it was also necessary to fight against the scattered attacks of the Heavenly Soul Empire's rebels and those hidden sects in the dark at any time. Now the daily consumption is extremely high. Therefore, the Sun-Moon Empire mobilized all the forces that could be mobilized to participate in the war as much as possible. Jing Hongchen, a ninth-level soul mentor who originally remained neutral and only pledged allegiance to Xu Tianran after he ascended the throne, was naturally entrusted with an important task.

However, the Holy Spirit Church is becoming more and more arrogant within the Sun-Moon Empire. The leader of the Holy Spirit Church demands that any large city occupied by the Sun-Moon Empire must have a deputy city lord, who must be a soul master of the Holy Spirit Church.

In response to this, the Sun Moon Empire's top leaders initially expressed strong opposition, but the Holy Spirit Church was already too powerful, especially the existence of the two Ultimate Douluo, which played a huge role in this war of aggression. Therefore, Xu Tianran had no choice but to compromise in the end. He also knew that the Holy Spirit Church was now too powerful and had some problems, but for the sake of his own ambitions, he could only compromise temporarily.

Xu Tianran's inner thoughts were actually very simple. He wanted to use the Holy Spirit Church to continuously expand the territory of the Sun Moon Empire. As the war progressed, the strength of the Holy Spirit Church's followers would inevitably be continuously consumed.

The Holy Spirit Church has reached its current size because of thousands of years of secret accumulation. It cannot be formed in a short period of time. Once their casualties are too great, the overall strength of the Holy Spirit Church will inevitably be weakened.

Moreover, although the two Extreme Douluo of the Holy Spirit Church are powerful, don't forget that they are over 200 years old, which is close to the limit of human beings. Who knows when these two will die of old age. And what Xu Tianran really fears are actually Death Douluo and Dragon Emperor Douluo.
