Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld
Chapter 188 The Ghostly Regret, The Army Approaches Jialing Pass
On the way back to the Spirit Hall through the underworld, Ghost Douluo had some complicated feelings.
He recalled that Ning Qiuyang had once casually recruited him. If he had accepted and become Ning Qiuyang's subordinate, he might have already obtained a divine inheritance and had a high chance of becoming a god.
But now, after all the twists and turns, his old boss, Pope Bibi Dong, has been suppressed, and he has become the young master's subordinate, while the young master has a close relationship with Ning Qiuyang.
After all the calculations, he realized that not only had he missed a great opportunity, but he had also ended up essentially becoming Ning Qiuyang's subordinate, which was quite disheartening.
Following the ambush on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, the Spirit Hall launched a series of attacks, continuously striking at numerous sects and families that targeted the Spirit Hall.
Taking advantage of the underworld, the anti-Spirit Hall alliance suffered a significant blow even before the battle began.
Later on, no sect dared to act alone anymore.
After discovering this problem, the divine realm intervened, and the two great empires accelerated their military preparations.
Three months later, the two great empires raised a combined army of two million and marched on Wuhun City.
Of course, the vast majority of them were ordinary soldiers.
"Rakshasa God, aren't you worried?"
Within the Star Luo Empire's army, Tang Chen appeared to be deep in thought, but in reality, Tang San and Rakshasa God were engaged in a heated exchange.
"worry about what?"
"Of course I'm worried about Ning Qiuyang. There's a very high chance we'll run into him again during this attack on the Spirit Hall. Aren't you worried?"
From the moment Tang San first met Ning Qiuyang, he suffered three setbacks, each one more devastating than the last.
After losing his pride, his fingers, and his life in succession, he still hated Ning Qiuyang, but he was also truly afraid.
"What's there to be afraid of? There are so many people here. I'm not crazy. Why would I go and confront Ning Qiuyang?"
Although the Rakshasa God spoke arrogantly, he used the most arrogant tone to say the most cowardly things.
His divine senses were destroyed in succession, and he was equally wary of Ning Qiuyang.
Especially those bewitching flames, which left him at a loss as to how to deal with them, completely suppressing his strength.
"Little Sanzi, are you trying to desert your post?"
"fart."
Tang San cursed angrily, but not because Rakshasa God said he wanted to desert, but because Rakshasa God's way of addressing him made him furious.
Not just anyone can call someone a mistress, let alone someone like Rakshasa God who adds the word "son".
After discussing it, Tang San and Rakshasa God decided on their next course of action: to play it safe.
If you are in the army, you must not actively seek out Ning Qiuyang, and you must also avoid being found by Ning Qiuyang.
If victory is in sight, rush out and beat the enemy when they're down; if things aren't going well, it's easier to escape.
"Where are the people from the Heavenly Dou Empire?"
After discussing the matter, Tang Chen asked a question.
Today, Tang San is in charge of Tang Chen's body. Although he doesn't go crazy from time to time like the Rakshasa God, he imitates the Rakshasa God's personality and acts very domineeringly.
"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Dou Empire has set up camp thirty miles outside Jialing Pass ahead of schedule," Tang Xiao replied.
Tang Xiao was essentially the commander of the army, and Tang San and Rakshasa God entrusted him with handling all the tedious tasks.
While the two great empires were taking action, the Spirit Hall was not idle either. Qian Renxue did not intend to be trapped in Spirit City, but instead pushed the battle line forward and occupied the strategic pass of Jialing Pass.
"They're quick," Tang Chen said cryptically. "Heh heh."
For some reason, Rakshasa God smiled, making Tang San feel uneasy. He felt that this old ghost was up to something again and was planning to harm him.
"What are you laughing at?" Tang San asked directly.
"Don't ask, you'll know when you meet the people from the Heaven Dou Empire."
The fact that the eight Title Douluos of Seagod Island were in the army of the Heaven Dou Empire was no secret, but Tang San in this life had never had any dealings with Seagod Island, let alone knew about Tang Chen and Poseidon's past.
Rakshasa God was well aware of this matter and wanted to see what strange things would happen when Tang Chen, controlled by Tang San, met Poseidon.
Tang San was very dissatisfied with Rakshasa God's concealment, but he had no way to deal with Rakshasa God.
At his command, the Star Luo Empire's marching speed increased, and they soon arrived at the Heaven Dou Empire's encampment.
"Before the main force of the Star Luo Empire arrived, Dai Linyu, who was acting as the vanguard, had already met with Ning Qiuyang, who was disguised as Xue Qinghe."
Well, Dai Linyu was a little embarrassed.
He, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, had ended up as a mere vanguard, while Xue Qinghe, the crown prince, was the commander-in-chief of a million-strong army in the Heaven Dou Empire. He couldn't help but feel somewhat embarrassed.
However, Tang Chen had honed his mental resilience during this period, and he did not reveal the slight bitterness and sourness in his heart.
"Uncle, I have long admired your name in Qinghe. I never expected to meet you here today."
Ning Qiuyang did not show any hostility towards Dai Linyu, nor did he show any sympathy, sarcasm, or pity, as if Dai Linyu was still the absolute emperor of the Star Luo Empire.
"The Crown Prince of Qinghe is young and promising; the Heavenly Dou Empire has a worthy successor."
Being treated with such politeness by Xue Qinghe made Dai Linyu feel as if he had been transported to another world.
Ever since Tang Chen brought a group of bandits from the Haotian Sect to the Star Luo Empire, he went from being the arrogant and domineering Star Luo Emperor to a pitiful wretch who was constantly humiliated and ridiculed.
Whether it was the people of the Haotian Sect, other sects large and small, or even the former ministers and generals of the Star Luo Empire, they all regarded him as a joke.
For the past few months, he has felt as if he were living in a nightmare.
If Dai Linyu had a slightly weaker mental fortitude, he probably would have chosen suicide long ago, or been killed by Tang Chen.
Unexpectedly, after so long, the one who respected him the most was the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire. How could this not make him sigh?
Especially considering that his two sons, Davis and Dai Mubai, had both died, while Xue Qinghe was so full of vigor and commanded the army alone, compared to the situation of the Star Luo Empire, the Heaven Dou Empire certainly had a worthy successor.
"Uncle, we haven't been here long either. Your campsite is not yet prepared, so you'll have to make your own arrangements."
"That's to be expected. The Star Luo Empire isn't so desperate that it needs help to set up camp."
Although he went from being the Star Luo Emperor to a vanguard officer, in Dai Linyu's heart, the Star Luo Empire was still his, and his words still reflected the perspective of the Star Luo Empire.
"High Priest, are you looking forward to the arrival of the Star Luo Empire's army?"
Ning Qiuyang asked the question knowingly.
Ning Qiuyang was well aware of Poseidon and Tang Chen's messy affairs, and naturally knew why Poseidon had changed her usual uninterested attitude towards these trivial matters and become somewhat impatient.
"Yes, the Star Luo army is crucial to the victory or defeat here, and I am indeed looking forward to it."
Poseidon told a lie without batting an eye.
But she was already feeling quite excited.
After so many years, I wonder how Tang Chen is doing now, whether he is still as charming and imposing as before.
Her lonely old heart beat somewhat more actively, like that of a young girl in the throes of first love. (End of Chapter)
