Douluo: The Son of Martial Soul, Deceiving All the Women

Chapter 307 The Zhu Family Meeting
After Qian Renxue finished speaking, Bai Yu's expression froze. He hadn't expected that this woman would assign him a task so quickly.

But the little angel has a point. In order to prevent trouble, people should indeed be stationed at the front lines to keep an eye on things.

Although this person isn't indispensable, he should just obediently listen to what the other person has said.

Otherwise, if the little angel gets angry, quits, and runs back to Wuhun City to quit, he'll be in real trouble.

"Okay, I understand. Predict how long it will take before Star Luo is destroyed. I'll get there before then."

Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then spoke:
"It will probably take another three or four months, but it's hard to say exactly when. After all, the Star Luo Royal Family has a strong foundation and considerable strength."

"If you don't have anything else to do, you should go ahead. Otherwise, if those two Title Douluos from the Dai family manage to escape with their men, it will be troublesome."

Bai Yu sighed inwardly, thinking how busy he was. He had just come out of seclusion and hadn't even had a chance to rest before trouble piled up on him.

"Understood, I'll head over there ahead of time. By the way, where are Rongrong and the others now? Are they still in Tiandou City?"

Qian Renxue glanced at Bai Yu sideways, cursing him inwardly. He hadn't even gotten out of bed yet, and he was already thinking about his girlfriends.

"They're not in Heaven Dou City, but they're not far away either. They're always accompanied by people from the Spirit Hall, who can relay messages at any time."

"If you want to find them, just go to the branch temple in the city and have them send you a message."

Hearing Qian Renxue's slightly cold tone, Bai Yu coughed lightly, and then, ignoring Qian Renxue's struggles, began the second battle.

When Bai Yu came out of the palace, it was already evening. He first went to the Martial Soul Branch Hall in Tian Dou City to send a message to Zhu Zhuqing and the others who were still wandering around the continent.

Then he flew back to Wuhun City overnight, wanting to comfort Bibi Dong and Ah Yin, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

When he arrived, he discovered that Liu Erlong had also run away from her family and returned to Wuhun City, so Baiyu comforted her as well.

After spending more than half a month in Wuhun City, Bai Yu went to Tiandou City without stopping because news came from there that his girlfriends had returned.

Bai Yu then stayed in Tian Dou City for more than two months until news came from the front lines that Xing Luo City had been surrounded.

Bai Yu then clutched his aching back and ran to the front lines, his face pale.

To be honest, as people get older and stronger, they are indeed difficult to deal with. What's more, they also know how to use a series of attacks!
……

In Xingluo City, at the Netherworld Grand Duke's Mansion, all the powerful members of the Zhu family were gathered in the family council hall.

Meanwhile, the current Grand Duke of the Underworld, the father of Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing, looked at the Zhu family members below, who were filled with panic and making a ruckus, and sighed helplessly.

To be honest, not only were the other family members panicked, but he himself was also panicked. After all, no one could have imagined that the once-prosperous Star Luo Empire would be destroyed so easily.
In reality, the destruction of Xingluo was nothing to ordinary people; it simply meant a change of emperor.

But the Zhu family is different. The title of Grand Duke of the Underworld means that their fate is intertwined with the fate of the nation. Their family is too deeply bound to the royal Dai family.

If the Star Luo Empire is destroyed, the Zhu family will certainly not survive either. After all, they have such a great reputation, yet they lack a powerful figure to support them.

Currently, the Zhu family, including the previous patriarch, only has three Soul Douluos, while the army attacking Xingluo has more than one titled Soul Douluo.

With such limited strength, how can they possibly protect their family?
The already somewhat depressed Grand Duke of the Underworld grew even more irritated seeing the incessant commotion below. He slammed his hand on the table and roared impatiently:
"Alright, stop arguing! I called you here to discuss matters, not to fight!"

"You are all aware of the royal family's plans. They will organize a force in the next few days to break out of the encirclement and escape to the mainland."

"His Majesty summoned me before and asked if our Zhu family was willing to leave with them. I have not yet given an answer."

"So, what do you all think we should do?"

Upon hearing the words of the Duke of Youming, all the members of the Zhu family present fell silent. It wasn't that they had no thoughts, but rather that they dared not speak them.

Despite their heated arguments and differing opinions, they are hesitant to speak up when it comes to making a decision.

After all, if this decision is wrong, the Zhu family will be finished, and those who make the decision will become the eternal sinners of the Zhu family.

The old man sitting at the front, the previous generation of the Netherworld Duke of the Zhu family, watched as everyone turned into quails and couldn't help but sigh.

"Alas, the Zhu family has no successor! My son, don't count on them anymore. Tell me your thoughts. Do you intend to stay and surrender to Tian Dou, betting that Tian Dou will show mercy?"

"I'm still planning to stick with the Dai family and take a gamble to see if we can carve out a way to survive?"

When his father asked him what he thought, the Duke of Youming's head spun even more.

Logically speaking, they should have followed the Dai family. After all, surrendering meant handing their lives over to others, which was not a wise thing to do.

The Xingluo royal family wanted them to follow them; their motives were obvious to anyone.

They simply wanted to use the Zhu family as a shield, so that in times of crisis, they could leave a rearguard for the royal family and allow them to escape.

Therefore, the Zhu family is now stuck in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat, like a blind fortune teller trying to predict the future, unable to win on both fronts!
Even if it's congested, we have to find a way out. We can't just sit here and wait to die, can we?
The Grand Duke of the Underworld tapped his fingers on the table, his expression gradually hardening from struggle to resolve, before he spoke in a low voice:

"Let's go! We'll go with you! If we don't go, it's like handing our lives over to others, and that won't do!"

"If we leave, there's still a glimmer of hope. Even if we ultimately perish, at least we've tried!"

After the Grand Duke of the Underworld finished speaking, the crowd below looked at each other, and then all nodded in agreement.

The previous generation's Grand Duke of the Underworld stroked his beard, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

Although everyone knew that leaving might not save the family, staying would definitely mean losing it.

After all, the Zhu family held a very high reputation and considerable power in the Star Luo Empire.

If they stay, even if the Heavenly Dou royal family doesn't kill them, the nobles below them won't let them off easily.

Because the Zhu family has a significant share of the profits in Xingluo, how can we distribute these benefits if we don't eliminate them?

Therefore, staying behind would certainly mean certain death for them. Their only option was to flee with the royal family, gambling on the intensity of Tian Dou's pursuit and the conscience of the Dai family.
