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

Chapter 410 Peace Talks
"Peace talks?"

In Shrek City, Xu Jiawei quickly scanned the message sent by Xu Jiujiu, his voice rising slightly.

After the Sun Moon Empire's army breached Star Luo City with unstoppable force, Xu Jiawei originally intended to die with Star Luo City, but was saved by the Shrek Academy members who suddenly appeared.

The Sun Moon Empire, for reasons unknown, did not send anyone to stop them. They simply allowed Shrek Academy to rescue the royal family members, and even took away several ministers without any apparent concern.

Now, not only him, but also members of the Heavenly Soul and Battle Spirit royal families have been placed in Shrek City, just like him.

Outside the city, there was an army from the Sun Moon Empire besieging the city, but it seemed to be just a formality. They did not prevent ordinary people from entering or leaving, and their attitude was even quite mild.

It was as if they simply didn't want Shrek City to send people to help the three great empires, and didn't intend to make things difficult for them.

"You mean the Sun Moon Empire conquered the three cities of Xingluo, Tiandou, and Lingdou, almost occupying the entire Douluo Continent, and then suddenly proposed peace talks after driving us here?"

“Exactly.” Xu Jiujiu was also somewhat puzzled. “Logically speaking, they have now been able to concentrate their army in one place. Even if Shrek Academy still has experts, it is ultimately just an isolated city.”

"With the current strength of the Sun Moon Empire, taking Shrek City would only take some effort, but they seem to have no intention of launching a full-scale attack on Shrek City."

"Although the news of this peace talks was also sent to us, the Sun Moon Empire's main objective is Shrek Academy."

Xu Jiawei stood up, holding the paper with the information recorded, and slowly walked to the window. "Shrek Academy is probably not as simple as we imagined."

As a former ruler of a nation, Xu Jiawei was certainly not a fool. With the power of the Heavenly Calamity Douluo and several Soul Master Corps, it would not have been difficult for the Sun Moon Empire to break through Star Luo City. However, it has now stopped in front of Shrek City.

There must be some secret here that even he doesn't know.

"What's Shrek Academy's attitude?"

"It's not clear yet." Xu Jiujiu shook his head. "There are Shrek Academy people everywhere here, so it's difficult for our people to gather information."

"But brother, should we see what Tianhun and Douling are thinking?"

"Sigh." Xu Jiawei sighed deeply. "Jiujiu, do you think that at this point, our attitude towards fighting the Heavenly Soul is really important?"

"The Sun Moon Empire has never feared us, but only Shrek Academy. Our fate will ultimately be decided by Shrek Academy, not by ourselves."

As Xu Jiawei spoke, he gently closed his eyes, and two lines of tears slid down his cheeks. Even as a former king, with his composure, his voice trembled slightly at this moment.

"The Star Luo Empire fell at my hands; I have failed my ancestors..."

"Peace talks?"

In front of the Sea God Pavilion, Xuanzi also received a letter from the Sun Moon Empire.

The anticipated great battle did not take place outside Shrek City.

They had prepared for the Sun Moon Empire to attack the city, but the Sun Moon Empire only showed itself outside the city, leaving behind two major Soul Master Corps before quickly changing its direction of attack, bypassing Shrek City and joining forces with the Southern Royal Soul Master Corps, completely breaking through the Star Luo Empire's defenses.

Seeing the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master Corps poised to attack Shrek City at any moment, none of the Shrek Academy students dared to leave easily.

After all, from the initial surprise attack on the Heavenly Soul Empire to the attack on the Star Luo Empire by water, Orange had used the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain more than once.

No one dared to speculate whether this was yet another of Orange's schemes. What if the experts from Shrek Academy left to support the three great empires, and the Sun Moon Empire suddenly turned around and attacked Shrek City...

No one could bear such an outcome.

The result was that, without the support of powerful figures, even with several elders joining forces, the three great empires were defeated by the Calamity Douluo and the Royal Soul Master Corps, and the three great empires finally lost all resistance. Only then did Xuanzi receive a letter from the Sun Moon Empire requesting peace talks.

What are they trying to talk about?

In the Sea God Pavilion, the two remaining elders, Elder Song and Elder Zhuang, also appeared beside Xuanzi.

Xuanzi frowned, quickly scanned the letter in his hand, and then handed it to Elder Song, who was standing to the side.

"You want us to submit to the Sun and Moon Empire?" Elder Song's voice suddenly rose several decibels. "Our academy's people died at the hands of the Holy Spirit Cult, and now you want us to submit to the Sun and Moon Empire?"

"Sigh." Old Zhuang also sighed softly, but much more calmly than Old Song. "They're asking for the moon and offering to negotiate on the spot. I'm afraid what they really want isn't for us to submit."

"What do you mean, Elder Xuan?"

Xuanzi was at a loss for what to do. He subconsciously looked up at the golden tree in front of the Sea God Pavilion, but the ancient golden tree only swayed its leaves slightly and did not respond at all.

"Sigh, let's bring Lin'er and Mei'er back so we can discuss it together."

After saying that, Xuanzi turned and walked towards the Sea God Pavilion, but after reaching the door, he lingered for a long time.

What will become of Shrek Academy in the future? Elder Mu, if you were alive, what decision would you make?

"came back?"

Inside the Star Luo City Imperial Palace, Ju Zi kept her head down, processing the report in her hands, without looking up, and only spoke softly.

"Mm." Lin Xiao nodded, walked to the side and sat down. After glancing at the orange, she closed her eyes and didn't disturb her any longer.

Within his body, the soul power of the deceased surged, and the surrounding天地元力 (heaven and earth elemental power) continuously poured into his meridians, then quickly transformed into soul power.

During this period, Lin Xiao constantly fought against various masters, and through these battles, he gained a lot and could clearly feel his strength improving.

After all, even other Super Douluo might not have the same opportunity as him to "spar" with other experts of the same cultivation level.

After a long while, when it was already dark outside, Orange finally raised its head.

"Before I sat in this position, I only thought about holding power in my hands. Now, I realize that without the energy of you Title Douluos, handling matters big and small is not an easy task."

"You're going to hand over power?"

"No." Orange's voice turned slightly cold. "Never."

"How's the situation at Shrek Academy?"

"No reply yet." Orange stood up and stretched a little. "But speaking of which, is Shrek Academy really that dangerous?"

"If you don't want everything to disappear like a dream, you'd better not act rashly." Lin Xiao didn't open his eyes, but spoke in a deep voice.

"Reporting to the Marshal, news from Shrek Academy."

Outside the door, a messenger's voice rang out loudly.

Upon hearing this, Ju Zi looked at Lin Xiao and smiled slightly, "The reply we've been waiting for has arrived."
