Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

"A sneak attack tonight? Are you sure? You won't expose yourself, will you?"

Upon returning to the Heavenly Dou Empire's army camp, Ning Qiuyang immediately contacted Qian Renxue, who was inside Jialing Pass.

It's fair to say that things have progressed to this point, and the leaders of both sides are actually in cahoots. If the gods of the divine realm knew this, their expressions would certainly be quite interesting.

"Don't worry, just do as I say."

"Okay, I'll get ready right now."

Qian Renxue trusted Ning Qiuyang's judgment and immediately began preparing for the night raid.

"Palace Master, Yu Luomian requests an audience."

Outside the tent, the sea witch's voice could be heard.

"Let him in."

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan was ambushed by the Spirit Hall, resulting in the death of its sect leader, Yu Yuanzhen, and heavy losses to other elders and elite disciples.

However, Yu Luomian was lucky enough to escape unscathed because she and Yu Yuanzhen had acted separately.

Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan suffered significant losses, Yu Luomian became its new sect leader.

In addition, he received the inheritance of the God of Speed ​​and broke through to the Title Douluo level.

Therefore, although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan has suffered a great loss of strength, it has not completely declined and may still have the possibility of recovering its strength.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, greets me in your jade crown."

After Yu Luomian was led into the main tent by the sea witch, she bowed respectfully to Ning Qiuyang.

Compared to Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Luomian, the new leader of the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect, is much more pragmatic and also does a good job of maintaining appearances.

After Yu Yuanzhen's death, he completely submitted to Ning Qiuyang and completed all the tasks assigned by Ning Qiuyang to the best of his ability without the slightest attempt to cheat or shirk responsibility.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After Yu Luomian stood up, she began to explain the purpose of her visit.

"Your Highness, did your trip to the Star Luo Empire's camp go smoothly? The barbarians of the Haotian Sect are notoriously rude; did they embarrass you?"

Yu Luomian asked with apparent concern, yet also as if deliberately slandering the Haotian Sect.

"The Star Luo Soul Masters and the army have all submitted."

"That's great! With His Highness the Crown Prince leading the way, the chances of defeating the Spirit Hall will definitely increase significantly."

While flattering Ning Qiuyang, Yu Luomian inquired about the next steps and volunteered to fight, expressing his desire to avenge Yu Yuanzhen and the disciples of the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect who had died.

"Since you volunteered for the battle, lead the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan on night patrols to guard against a sneak attack from the Spirit Hall."

"Yes, I will definitely complete the task."

After making his promise, Yu Luomian took his leave.

After Yu Luomian left, Ning Qiuyang pondered for a moment with some doubt.

He always felt that although Yu Luomian appeared to hate the Spirit Hall, his true thoughts might not be like that.

Ning Qiuyang even had a vague idea that Yu Luomian was ready to betray him at any time. Just now, he made a statement and volunteered for battle, seemingly just to find out the plan and was ready to defect at any time.

If Ning Qiuyang hadn't been a spy himself, he probably wouldn't have made this guess so quickly.

Whether this speculation is true or false, this jade crown has its uses.

……

late at night.

Tonight, the sky is devoid of any starlight or moonlight, and the earth is shrouded in darkness.

Even amidst the Star Luo Empire's army, Dai Linyu still did not rest.

He had worked so hard to secure this mission, and he didn't want anything to go wrong. At the same time, he remembered Ning Qiuyang's instructions to guard against a sneak attack from the Spirit Hall, so he dared not relax his vigilance in the slightest.

After summoning some generals and officers and deciding on the operation to probe and attack Jialing Pass the next day, Dai Linyu once again inspected the camp.

"Get moving, don't slack off. Ordinary soldiers can hardly defend against a Soul Master's sneak attack. The task of defense and vigilance still depends on you."

During his inspection of the camp, Dai Linyu discovered that many Soul Masters who had been assigned tasks were slacking off.

Most of the Soul Masters in the Star Luo Empire had never served in the military before and were used to being casual and undisciplined, making it impossible for them to become well-trained in a short time. Moreover, the crucial point was that the Soul Master teams captured by Dai Linyu included members of the Clear Sky Sect.

When Tang San controlled Tang Chen, he did not show too much favoritism towards the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect. Or rather, he wanted the Clear Sky Sect members to control more Soul Masters, so each night patrol team had members from the Clear Sky Sect, who were often the team leaders.

These Haotian Sect disciples are all so arrogant.

They inherited the attitude of the sect elders and looked down on Dai Linyu, so they paid lip service to his orders but secretly disobeyed them.

When Dai Linyu appeared, he barely became a little serious, but as soon as Dai Linyu left, he immediately reverted to his original form.

As the saying goes, what the superiors do, the subordinates will follow suit. With the captain of the Clear Sky Sect disciple behaving this way, the other Soul Masters will naturally follow suit.

Although they were instructed by the Haotian Sect disciples to diligently complete their night patrol duties, given their example, they ignored the Haotian Sect disciples' instructions just as the Haotian Sect disciples disregarded Dai Linyu.

Dai Linyu quickly discovered the situation.

Dai Linyu was furious after catching the same squad again.

"Arrest them all. They have neglected their duties, disobeyed military orders, and repeatedly disobeyed my orders. They must be severely punished."

These soul masters had never been treated like this before, and they showed no remorse or willingness to admit their guilt.

"What right do you have to arrest me? I am a member of the Haotian Sect. You have no right to arrest me."

The disciples of the Clear Sky Sect took the lead, and the other Soul Masters also started shouting.

Dai Linyu went from being the Emperor of Xingluo to a clown who was ridiculed. His prestige had long since disappeared, and these people resisted him without any fear.

"I have no authority? This is the authority the marshal gave me. I have ordered them all to behead them and their heads to be displayed to the others, so that everyone understands the consequences of disobeying military orders."

Dai Linyu immediately issued the order to execute him.

"Yes."

No matter what, Dai Linyu still had some trusted confidants. He didn't need to lift a finger; a group of his confidants easily overpowered the night patrol team.

"Spare me, I'll never do it again."

"I will definitely patrol the night diligently and will never disobey military orders again."

These Soul Masters then realized the seriousness of the situation; Dai Linyu, who seemed easy to bully, was actually capable of killing them.

Only the disciples of the Haotian Sect remained arrogant.

“Dai Linyu, you are nothing but a dog in front of our Haotian Sect. If you dare to kill me, none of the elders, sect master, and Ancestor Tang Chen of our Haotian Sect will let you go. Do you dare to kill me? Who dares to kill me?”

"kill."

Dai Linyu waved his hand heavily, his face cold.

"stop."

"Dai Linyu, how dare you?"

Two elders from the Haotian Sect who heard the commotion rushed over.

They had heard the commotion earlier, but they pretended not to see it because they wanted to see Dai Linyu make a fool of himself.

But now that the disciples of the Haotian Sect are about to be beheaded, they immediately became restless.

Disciples of the Haotian Sect should not be killed so easily.

Dai Linyu heard the threats and intimidation from the two elders, but still waved his hand without any mercy.

His confidant did not hesitate at all and directly chopped off the head of the Haotian Sect disciple.

"Dai Linyu, didn't you hear me?"

"How dare you! I think you don't want to live anymore."

Two elders arrived aggressively, seemingly intending to directly attack Dai Linyu.

"Let's see who dares!" Dai Linyu shouted.

"Do you intend to disobey the Marshal's orders and the commands of the gods?"

Upon hearing this, the two Haotian Sect elders, who had been filled with murderous intent, regained some of their composure.

As Dai Linyu and the Haotian Sect elder confronted each other, a wisp of elusive Yin energy quietly emerged from a corner of the camp. (End of Chapter)
