Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 324 Battle
Just west of the border of the Heavenly Soul, a dazzling light rose from the ground like the sun, illuminating the boundless snow-covered land as if it were daytime.

The sky brightened.

The soldiers on duty on the city wall didn't have time to sound the alarm before they melted away completely, like snow on the ground, leaving no trace and never having the chance to enjoy the warmth of the room again.

"boom--"

Only then did a deafening roar resound across the land.

In the sky, more than ten powerful auras flew by, clearly belonging to more than ten titled Douluo.

Several of the priests in the Holy Spirit Cult whom Lin Xiao had hardly ever met were taken to the front lines by Zhong Liwu.

Other titled Douluo might be hesitant to attack civilians, but for evil soul masters, it is a rare opportunity to "cultivate" openly and legitimately.

It seemed as if an invisible black mist was descending from the territory of the Sun and Moon Empire, leaving no survivors in its wake.

The city, which had just been lit by a few lights, instantly became deathly silent, and the countless corpses lying on the ground made the already cold night even colder.

Following Zhongli Wu and his group, the mighty army of the Sun Moon Empire, equipped with flying soul tools, flew towards the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire without stopping for a moment.

The Heavenly Soul Empire's idea was not wrong. Advancing through the snow would inevitably slow down the march, but the Sun Moon Empire's army did not necessarily come from the ground.

"A great victory at the front!"

Within Mingdu, a loud voice rang out, almost echoing throughout the entire city. Pedestrians on the street stopped in their tracks and looked up after seeing what was happening.

There is a no-fly zone over the Ming capital, but the current situation is clearly outside the regulations.

Behind a soldier clad in armor, a flying soul tool emitted several beams of light, carrying him towards the imperial palace. He didn't fly very high, as if he wanted everyone in the entire capital to hear the good news.

Although Mingdu is far from the front lines and cannot hear the roar of the soul tools or see the carnage on the battlefield, once the war begins, even those in Mingdu, far away, have noticed changes that are different from the past.

Within the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, the Mingde Hall has been completely closed, with no one seen entering or leaving. No one knows what the teachers and students inside are busy with, or even whether they are still in the Mingde Hall.

Whether openly or underground, rare metals and some strategic resources have completely disappeared from the market, and many shops selling soul tools are often out of stock.

Even ordinary people living in Mingdu could sense that the Sun Moon Empire was waging a massive war.

Before they knew it, hearing the good news from the front lines made everyone feel a little more relaxed.

Inside an underground casino, many enthusiastic gamblers seemed to be cheering for the Sun Moon Empire's victory.

Not far from this group of people, two figures mingled in the crowd, exchanged a glance, and soon came together.

"Elder Xuan, did you hear the commotion outside?"

Xuanzi had changed his clothes, but there was still some dirt on his body, making him look like a gambler who had lost everything and could be found anywhere here.

He glanced at Lin Huiqun beside him and lowered his voice slightly, "I heard it, but I can't find out the specifics."

"According to the information Yuhao sent, the entire Mingdu is covered by a device called a soul detection device. Only underground can we hide for a while. With our cultivation level, once we appear outside, we will be locked on by the people of the Sun Moon Empire."

"Sigh." Lin Huiqun sighed, "Shao Zhe's whereabouts are unknown, and we can't easily find out any information. We're all old guys, and we're relying entirely on Yu Hao, a child, to hold things together."

Xuanzi's expression was equally grim. Not only had he failed to rescue Huo Yuhao on this trip, but Huo Yuhao had also provided information about the whereabouts of He Caitou and Wang Dong, and now Yan Shaozhe had also disappeared without a trace. He knew that staying in Mingdu would undoubtedly present numerous difficulties, but he didn't know where he would put his face if he were asked to return like this.

"Huiqun, you should go back following the route Yuhao provided."

"Elder Xuan, what about you?"

“I…I want to stay here. Shao Zhe and Yu Hao are both disciples of Elder Mu. Shao Zhe has already disappeared, and I can’t let Yu Hao be in danger.”

"No!" Lin Huiqun's expression changed. "Actually, when we left the academy, Elder Mu specifically instructed me to keep an eye on you because he knew you were stubborn."

"You heard what Xu Tianran said the other day. That guy confused right and wrong, pushing all the blame onto the three great empires. A war on the continent is inevitable."

"And as you just heard, there's more good news from the front lines. Their good news comes at the cost of countless soldiers dying on the front lines. At this time, Shrek Academy must stand up."

"I……"

Xuanzi clenched his fist slightly, his breathing becoming somewhat heavy. Countless thoughts surged in his mind, and the scene that appeared before his eyes after being affected by Lin Xiao's Chaotic Soul Song seemed to reappear once again.

"Mr. Xuan."

Just as he hesitated, a call suddenly rang out in his mind.

"Yuhao?"

Xuanzi raised his head slightly and looked around, but he didn't see Huo Yuhao. "Yuhao, why are you here at this time?"

"Elder Xuan, this is extremely urgent! The news that just arrived says that the army of the Sun Moon Empire is already at the gates of Tian Dou City, the capital of the Heavenly Soul Empire."

"what?"

Xuanzi and Lin Huiqun's expressions changed simultaneously.

"Didn't you say you had just captured Tianming City? How come you're suddenly in the territory of the Tianhun Empire?"

“I don’t know either, but the Sun Moon Empire wouldn’t deliberately deceive the people about things that can be easily verified, and the Holy Spirit Cult has also received such information.”

"If it weren't for the two experts who appeared in Tiandou City at the end, Tiandou City probably wouldn't have been able to hold on. Judging from their description, those two experts who appeared in Tiandou City should be from our academy."

Xuanzi's expression froze, and he didn't speak for a moment. Lin Huiqun, however, asked quietly, "Yuhao, what brings you here on this risk?"

"Elder Lin, you and Elder Xuan should return as soon as possible. The Sun Moon Empire has released news that it wants to challenge the experts of our Shrek Academy to a duel."

"A contest? How does it work?"

"We and the Sun Moon Empire will each select ten experts to fight. If we lose, we will have to withdraw from Heaven Dou City and no longer provide assistance to the Heaven Soul Empire."

"What if we win?"

"They are willing to release those imprisoned in the Sun Moon Empire." Huo Yuhao paused, "Including... Dean Yan."
