Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 200: Xue Di's Choice, Kong Deming and Zhang Lexuan, Attacking Xishui League
"Since it's still acceptable, then I wonder what you, Snow Queen, think of my suggestion? Are you willing to help me persuade the soul beasts in the Far North to take the initiative to establish friendly relations with us soul masters?"

“Humanity’s soul guidance technology is advancing with each passing day. It is an inevitable trend for humans to surpass soul beasts in strength. Sooner or later, the soul beasts’ habitat will disappear.

If we don't ease relations with humans now and change this life-or-death cultivation system, it will be difficult for soul beasts to survive in the future."

Xu Tianxi didn't care much about Xue Di's cold tone and asked her directly what she felt now.

Xue Di was silent, and soon after, a new idea came out.

"Your soul creation can indeed ease the relationship, but you have not yet proved that the soul can be passed down for a long time."

"If spirits can only exist by relying on spirit masters and die with them, this is merely a unilateral measure that benefits you human spirit masters. In the long run, spirit beasts will still become extinct."

Unlike the young snow girl who babbled and called daddy as in the original novel, Xue Di’s IQ was obviously online, and she was not fooled like Di Tian.

"This is exactly what I'm striving for. The souls I've conjured these days are the result of my hard work bit by bit. It wasn't easy."

Xu Tianxi's face turned pale and he chuckled as he spoke.

Presiding over soul rituals for many days consumed a lot of his mental energy. If he had not created a soul power vortex with spiritual attributes that could restore his mental energy at any time, such a large workload would have been difficult to handle.

"There are always some old, weak, sick and disabled people nearing the end of their lives in your soul beast world. It's better to let them sign contracts with young soul masters than to wait for death."

"Before the Soul Spirit came into the world, I met my Grand Master, Tongtian Bazu, and the Beast God Ditian of the Star Dou Great Forest. If you don't believe me, you should believe them. If you don't believe them, you should believe the Ice Emperor, who has the best relationship with you."

After saying that, Xu Tianxi narrowed his eyes, spread out his left palm and grasped the air. A ball of dark golden light exuding an extremely cold aura appeared out of thin air. The temperature in the room suddenly dropped sharply, and large amounts of air liquefied into mist, and then condensed into frost and snow.

The emerald-gold light appeared, revealing its true appearance—it was a emerald-gold round shield that seemed to be condensed from invisible water, exuding extreme coldness and weighing a thousand pounds.

A red soul ring with four golden rays rose from his feet. Xu Tianxi slightly activated the power of the Ice Emperor Soul Ring, and the purple-black giant python on the surface of the Dark Gold Basalt Shield suddenly disappeared. It was replaced by a beautiful and exquisite Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion relief. A circle of ice crystal scorpion tail barbs evolved from the edge of the shield, reflecting a cold light.

"Bingdi, come out and meet your old friend again." Xu Tianxi said softly.

The red soul ring flashed with a stream of green light, and a loli version of Ice Emperor with green hair and twin tails appeared out of thin air. She grabbed the Conferred God Platform that sealed the Snow Emperor and said excitedly:

"Xue'er, I have already established a soul relationship with Tianxi and will participate in the soul research throughout. I know you were captured by humans and hate humans, but Tianxi is different from other humans."

"His ancestor is the 100,000-year-old sea soul beast Xuanwu, one of us. He still maintains contact with the Baxia clan and has not forgotten his soul beast origins."

Having said that, a look of deep fear emerged on Bingdi's pretty face, and her tone became low and serious.

"Moreover, in the past few years, I have seen human soul guidance technology through his perspective. Their most terrifying soul guidance weapons cannot withstand much even if I am in my prime. You will not have it easy either."

"Now that you and I are no longer in the Far North, there's no turning back. Titan and Xiaobai are not strong enough and are definitely no match for the Extreme Douluo. If we don't seek change, the Far North will be in danger."

Xue Di fell into silence for a long time before a new voice came out:
"Bing'er, since you've said that, what else can I say? Once I'm out and have adjusted myself, I'll go back to the Far North with you guys to promote the Soul Contract."

Xu Tianxi smiled and said, "I wonder what Snow Queen is thinking now? After coming out, will she continue the process of transforming into a human, or will she also take a gamble on my future?"

As the voice fell, the milky white air in the Conferred God Platform flowed much faster, and a cold and natural chuckle was heard:

"You're so greedy! Bing'er isn't enough, and you've got your sights set on this too? Don't you want to capture all three of our Far North Heavenly Kings in one fell swoop?"

Xu Tianxi pondered for a moment before replying, "Your Excellency, I would like to remind you that, apart from Xiao Wu, the wife of the Sea God Tang San ten thousand years ago, there has never been a precedent for a soul beast to become a god again. This is a path that is almost hopeless."

"As for the Titan Snow Demon King, my first martial soul is spiritual, and he possesses spiritual attributes. If you can let him join in the fight, I will naturally be very happy, but I don't think you will agree."

"...You are all right, but my pride does not allow me to place all my hopes on you for the time being." The Snow Queen's answer was filled with the arrogance of a soul beast king.

With 700,000 years of cultivation and looking down on the world for countless years, she fell into trouble and fell into the hands of humans, and was rescued by another good person. Even though this good person looked much more pleasing to the eye and was hanging out with her best friend, the huge psychological gap still made Xue Di unable to accept living under someone else's roof.

In short, society hasn’t been beating us up enough.

Xu Tianxi nodded in understanding, "Okay, I happen to be going to the deep sea to discuss important matters with the Tongtian Bazu clan soon, so please come with me, Xue Di."

If Xue Di refuses to cooperate, take him away as a tool first. He will become more obedient as he gains more experience.

"After a while, we will first strike hard at the evil soul master, and ask the Snow Queen to see our strength."

After explaining his plan with a smile, Xu Tianxi dialed Ye Yulin's number using his communication soul guide.

"Brother, have you confirmed the information about the Xishui League headquarters and its branches? I'm still in good spirits and can leave at any time. Please notify me before you take action, and I'll bring people over."

"Is it too hasty?"

"Brother, I can maintain my current cultivation speed by relying on two things: first, encountering opportunities, and second, fighting hard."

There was silence for a while on Ye Yulin's end.

"Okay, three days from now at midnight, we will launch a full-scale raid on the Xishui League. You will lead a group to take charge of a branch, and I will have the people from the Terrorclaw Soul Mentor Group cooperate with you."

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for your help."

……

Mingdu, the palace worship hall.

For the soul masters here, this is an ordinary day. Soul masters below level seven follow the master to study the most advanced soul guide experimental topics in the Sun-Moon Empire, and their lives are in order.

Soul engineers above level seven had noticed something unusual; many powerful figures had disappeared from the worship hall.

The masters of the Gongsheng Hall disappeared in large numbers last time, went to Xingluo City for a battle, and returned with a full load.

An eighth-level soul master clearly saw the eldest brother Ye Yulin enter the Kong Lao residence with great joy. Immediately, a burst of voices rang out, "Ye Yulin, congratulations on accepting a good disciple. Why didn't you bring him to meet me?" and "No, no, we are all your disciples. It doesn't matter when we come to pay our respects to you."

Just when everyone was having fun.

Ye Yulin, who had finalized the master-disciple relationship, quickly changed the subject and told the news that Xu Tianxi wanted to participate in the hunting operation.

"Master Kong, my junior brother is eager to fight and wants to bring others to join the battle. I have already notified Liao Mengkai of the Terrorclaw Soul Mentor Group to send someone to keep an eye on him. Do you think there is anything wrong with this?"

Kong Deming raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully, "There's nothing wrong with that. If he likes actual combat, let him fight well. That way he can grow faster."

"The future pillar of our Sun-Moon Empire must be forged in blood and fire. All we can do is protect him and remove those irresistible thorns for him."

"Remember, if we start fighting, we won't leave anyone alive. I've already deployed troops to blockade the entire Sun-Moon Empire, but the battle in Mingdu must be contained within Mingdu. We can't let an evil spirit master escape with even a single resource."

Ye Yulin nodded and said solemnly, "There are probably two more evil soul masters at the Xishui League headquarters. Jing Hongchen and I will personally keep an eye on them. This time, they won't be able to escape even if they have wings!"

The Xishui League is the leader of the three major underground forces in Mingdu. It has been engaged in the business of smuggling drugs, arms and rare metals for many years. In the past, everyone was barely an ally and it was difficult to interfere.

Now that the other party has left the Sun-Moon Empire, allowing him to exist again will mean that he will help the original three kingdoms suck the blood of the Sun-Moon Empire, and he will suck blood in big gulps, and he must be killed!
"Okay, go ahead."

Kong Deming waved his hand and let Ye Yulin leave.

Watching Ye Yulin go out to deploy troops.

There was a hint of thought in Kong Deming's eyes. He stood up and walked into a deep cell in the institute.

The place where Kong Deming was in seclusion was called a research institute, but in fact it covered a very large area. The so-called cell environment was also very good, comparable to a five-star hotel room in the outside world.

Looking through the window at the slender figure who had her cultivation sealed by him and was meditating with her eyes closed, Kong Deming felt a rare interest in his heart.

He had lived for over a hundred years and had rarely encountered anything this new.

He said slowly, "I've given you a lot of time to think about it. How are you thinking about it? Are you willing to return to your roots?"

Zhang Lexuan opened her eyes, her eyes determined. "Even if, as you said, my martial soul and bloodline all come from the Sun and Moon Imperial Family, I have already sworn an oath to protect Shrek my entire life. I can only refuse your kindness."

"Ha~"

Kong Deming chuckled lightly, a bit disdainful. "Shrek? Shrek isn't even considered a top-tier power these days. Not long ago, the Benti Sect went to Shrek and caused a big disturbance. Shrek surrendered its students before the situation settled."

"If you fall into my hands, no one in this world can take you away from me. Even the resurrected Dragon God Douluo cannot do it."

Kong Deming's tone was very calm, as if he was stating a very common fact.

"You are a genius. The Sun and Moon royal family is full of talented people, but the only one who can defeat you is my little disciple. He calls you auntie, so you should know where he comes from."

"My Sun-Moon Empire will definitely annex the three kingdoms and unify the continent. Do you still have illusions about Shrek and the three empires?"

Zhang Lexuan's pupils showed a hint of fear and pain, and her brows were furrowed.

"Even if, even if it's as Senior said, I will just die."

Kong Deming smiled faintly and said with interest:
"You are willing to die for Shrek, but can Shrek die for the three empires?"

Zhang Lexuan's pupils suddenly shrank and her expression froze.

"In my opinion, whether or not to destroy Shrek is not certain. My young disciple once told me that the old deans of your Shrek have already placed the interests of Shrek above the three empires. They will not die for the three empires.

As long as we offer sufficient conditions, there will be people in Shrek City willing to surrender, even though we have already killed so many of your masters."

After saying this, Kong Deming turned around with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "You are a smart person and you know whether this statement is true or false. If you want to do something for Shrek, you should think about your current situation."

Zhang Lexuan's face was filled with pain. After a long moment, she let out a long sigh and asked:
"Senior, you came to see me, what do you want me to do?"

"Kill the evil soul master."

"Or, go and secretly protect my little disciple. Of course, I will leave something on you."

Zhang Lexuan lowered her brows and remained silent for a long time: "...Senior, please...let me out..."

……

In the east city of Mingdu, midnight.

The brilliant soul guide lights embellish the dim night sky, making them particularly dazzling.

Xu Tianxi led the group to a dark building and said to the middle-aged man in military uniform beside him:

"Captain Liao, please make the first move."

Liao Mengkai said "hmm" and waved his hand. Fifty fully armed melee soul masters moved up the fourth-level fixed-type soul guide cannons, loaded them, and fired.

"boom--"

The earth-shaking explosion broke the silence of the night, and then a black soul light shot up from the ground. Amidst the flickering lights, Xu Tianxi, whose face flickered, released the Silver Moon Wolf King and rushed forward with his sword.

"Everyone follow me!"
