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

Chapter 413 Unexpected Guest
As the original emperor of the Star Luo Empire, Xu Jiawei would certainly not agree to such conditions. Although he seemed to have a lot of power, the Star Luo Empire was ultimately destroyed in his hands.

However, while he might have such thoughts, others in the Star Luo Empire's royal family might not.

Orange only said that the territory would be managed by someone from the royal family, but did not specify who it would be.

As soon as he said this, countless eyes were watching Xu Jiawei, waiting for his response.

Xu Jiawei had no doubt that once he rejected Ju Zi's proposal, someone would immediately step forward to cut off his head and present it to Ju Zi, thus becoming the new lord of the Starry Sky Territory of the Sun and Moon Empire.

After all, no one else in the royal family had ever had the chance to become emperor; their highest position was merely a local lord. Now, by pledging allegiance to the Sun and Moon Empire, they could rule over even larger territories. No one could guarantee that in their hearts, power or the Star Kingdom would be more important.

Not only Xu Jiawei, but also the people from the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Fighting Spirit Empire were slightly agitated.

Orange slowly took a sip of tea, savoring the superior tea prepared by Shrek Academy, and felt her mind become much clearer in that instant.

Lin Xiao and Jing Hongchen paused for a moment, then looked at each other simultaneously.

Before this, even Lin Xiao hadn't expected Ju Zi to say such a thing during the meal.

Although he has achieved his current level of cultivation at a young age, he is still far inferior to Ju Zi in governing the country.

Previously, I had only discussed some ideas with Orange, but now that Orange has spoken them, they have become a choice that the three great empires cannot make.

When facing Shrek Academy, Orange immediately said, "To prevent war from breaking out on the continent," but when facing the three great empires, Orange revealed her carefully prepared plan.

Regardless of the response, the demise of the three great empires was a foregone conclusion. The outcome of this peace negotiation was predetermined from the very beginning.

Lin Xiao wasn't afraid that Ju Zi's plan would fail, after all, having come from the Holy Spirit Cult, he had seen too much of the ugliness of humanity.

To these members of the royal family, in the face of absolute power, they are no different from those greedy evil spirit masters.

"Elder Xuan—"

Just as the people from the three great empires were whispering among themselves, a voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

Orange frowned almost imperceptibly, seemingly slightly annoyed that someone had interrupted her plans.

The people of the three great empires breathed a sigh of relief. Although the problem was not yet solved, it was good to have some time to spare.

Xu Jiawei glanced in Xuanzi's direction and nodded slightly.

He was somewhat surprised that Shrek Academy, which had never been involved in such matters before, was able to arrange for someone to break the deadlock in this awkward moment.

Xuanzi was slightly taken aback when he noticed several gazes directed at him. He had no idea that he had arranged for his disciples to knock on the door at this moment to break the deadlock in the hall.

However, he quickly realized that he had already made all the arrangements, and the sudden disturbance must mean that something big had happened outside.

Thinking of this, Xuanzi suddenly got up and walked out of the hall.

"What happened?"

As soon as Xuanzi opened the door, he saw Du Weilun, the head of the Martial Soul Department, looking anxious.

"Elder Xuan, there are soul beasts outside, many soul beasts..."

"So many soul beasts?" Xuanzi looked in the direction Du Weilun was pointing with some confusion, but that one glance made his face suddenly darken.

In the eastern sky, it was still daytime, but the sky there seemed to be covered by a neat black curtain, completely obscuring the light.

Meanwhile, the darkness continued to draw closer to Shrek Academy.

A bright green firework rose from the eastern wall of Shrek City. Xuanzi's expression changed drastically upon seeing it. He turned to look at Ju Zi, but quickly looked away.

That signal was an emergency signal from Shrek Academy, and his first thought was indeed that the Sun Moon Empire was forcibly attacking Shrek City.

But now, with several members of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family, as well as Lin Xiaojing and Hongchen, all inside Shrek City, how could the Sun Moon Empire possibly launch a rash attack?

The darkness appeared to move slowly, but in reality, it moved incredibly fast. In just a few breaths, the eastern part of Shrek City was completely plunged into darkness.

The air was filled with the unique stench of soul beasts, and the immense pressure, completely different from that of humans, made the soul masters present, who knew some of the inside story, guess the identity of the newcomer.

Xuanzi's eyes flickered slightly, and a deep yellow light emanated from his body, carrying a heavy earthy aura as he flew into the air.

"You are... Di Tian?"

"Oh? I didn't expect that after Moon's death, someone at Shrek Academy would still remember my name." A deep voice echoed in the pitch-black air. "Indeed, it is I."

"Shrek Academy has an agreement with your Star Dou Great Forest that you cannot leave the Star Dou Great Forest without a reason. Now you have brought so many soul beasts here. What is your purpose?"

Xuanzi's expression grew increasingly grim. Dealing with the Sun Moon Empire had already taken a lot of effort, and now that Di Tian had brought so many soul beasts here, it was definitely not good news.

If the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest were to suddenly attack, Shrek City would likely be powerless to resist the Sun Moon Empire.

"I have heard that you humans have gathered here to decide the future of Douluo Continent. As the Lord of Soul Beasts, representing the Soul Beast race, I naturally have come to listen."

Di Tian was surprisingly easy to talk to. After hearing Xuan Zi's question, he explained the purpose of his trip almost without hesitation.

Judging from the sheer scale of the commotion he's generated, it's hard to say how much of it is genuine and how much is fake.

Whether it was the Orange Clan or the people from the three great empires, they could no longer sit still and came out. The other students at Shrek Academy were in complete chaos.

Although the teachers tried their best to maintain order, they were also trembling involuntarily under the overwhelming aura of the soul beasts.

Lin Xiao slightly turned her body, subtly releasing her aura to protect Ju Zi behind her, and then turned her gaze to the sky.

Beast tide...

In Lin Xiao's memory, the original Di Tian did indeed launch a beast tide, but that was caused by the sacrifice of the Emperor Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest to Huo Yuhao.

But now, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion should still be safely in the Star Dou Great Forest, so why did Di Tian bring so many soul beasts here?

Although a beast tide has not yet formed, its success or failure rests entirely on Di Tian's decision. With such a massive display of power, is his presence here truly only to participate in the peace talks between the Sun Moon Empire, the three great empires, and Shrek Academy?

This peace talk was merely a matter of deciding the territorial ownership of the three great empires among humans, and had nothing to do with the Star Dou Great Forest...
