Douluo Continent: A Review of the Top Ten Martial Souls, Qian Renxue Breaks Through Defenses

Chapter 117 Meeting
"Nearly half of our Spirit Hall's sphere of influence is located along the coast or near the coast!"

Bibi Dong closed her eyes, thought quickly, and then suddenly opened them: "Immediately issue a 'highest-risk tsunami and sea monster tide warning' to the entire continent in the name of the Spirit Hall!"

"The warning covers all coastal areas and major river basins! All coastal countries and cities are required to immediately activate the highest level of defense plans and organize the evacuation of people inland!"

"In my name, I urgently contact Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire and Dai Tianfeng of the Star Luo Empire to propose convening an 'Emergency Summit on Coastal Defense of the Mainland'!"

"The location is Wuhun City, and the sooner the better! Tell them this is not the time to haggle, but a crisis for the survival of human civilization!"

"Mobilize all available resources of the Spirit Hall and prioritize strengthening the defensive barriers of important coastal cities and ports! Recruit all Soul Masters skilled in naval warfare and possessing powerful area-of-effect attacks at high prices!"

“And another thing,” a ruthless glint flashed in Bibi Dong’s eyes.

"Secretly launch the 'Deep Sea Surveillance Network' plan, select assassins, equipped with the most advanced stealth and communication soul tools, to infiltrate key near-shore nodes, and monitor signs of large-scale gatherings of deep-sea soul beasts at all costs!"

She looked at Hu Liena: "Nana, you immediately go and organize all the books and secrets we have about the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan, the legend of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's fall, and the inheritance of the Sea God! Don't miss a single detail!"

"We must understand the root of the Demon Emperor's hatred in order to find a way to deal with it, or... a bargaining chip."

"Yes, teacher!" Hu Liena left quickly.

Bibi Dong sat wearily back on the papal throne, gazing at the gloomy sky outside the palace, and murmured to herself, "The Sea God's legacy... Could it be that the Demon Emperor's hatred will ultimately point to... that place, and that person?"

"Poseidon Island... If that's really the case, then this storm will sweep across more than just the human world..."

Tiandou Empire, Imperial Palace.

The Snow Night Emperor's expression, which had just eased slightly due to the Ice Emperor's threat, turned deathly pale again, even more desperate than before.

“Deep Sea… Demon Emperor… Sea Beast Tide…” His lips trembled. “The Northern Ice Emperor threatens the north of the empire, and the Eastern and Southern coasts… are now facing the Deep Sea Demon Emperor…”

A minister collapsed to the ground, wailing, "Your Majesty! More than 60% of the Empire's trade relies on maritime transport!"

"The naval ports where the four fleets are stationed, the most important commercial ports, the seventeen coastal provinces, and hundreds of towns... are all exposed to threat! This is simply a case of Heaven wanting to destroy us!"

The military commander's face was ashen: "Your Majesty, our fleet is only capable of dealing with ordinary sea spirit beasts, but when faced with the tsunami and beast tide unleashed by the 470,000-year-old ferocious beast... it's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."

"Not to mention that 'Endless Devouring Domain'... How much of our Soul Master Legion's combat power can be utilized in that environment?"

Emperor Xueye suddenly looked at the Minister of Intelligence: "Has the urgent communication from the Spirit Hall arrived?"

"We've arrived! Bibi Dong has proposed an emergency summit on coastal defense of the mainland! It's in three days!"

"Agreed! Agreed immediately! Prepare a top-level delegation, I...I'll go personally!"

At this moment, Emperor Xueye could no longer care about imperial dignity or his fear of the Spirit Hall.

"Furthermore, send another delegation to Tianxing Academy! To the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School! To the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan! Seek aid from every possible source!"

"Tell them that Tiandou is willing to pay any price, just to have a strong person intervene when disaster strikes to protect the coastal people, even if... only a portion can be saved!" "Also, activate the Empire's highest wartime mechanism! All coastal provinces are on Level 1 alert! Forcefully evacuate all people within fifty miles of the coastline!"

"Conscript all Soul Masters, regardless of their background, and uniformly incorporate them into the coastal defense sequence! Open the Imperial Vault and spare no effort to enhance our defensive capabilities!"

Emperor Xueye's voice was choked with sobs: "Go! Go now! Time... is running out!"

In the Star Luo Empire, Dai Tianfeng was also in a state of utter chaos.

Although the Star Luo Empire has a relatively short coastline to the west, it also has important military and commercial ports. More importantly, the Star Luo Empire has very close trade and resource exchanges with some overseas islands.

"Agree to the summit with the Spirit Hall! Prepare immediately! Order the Western Coastal Legion to enter maximum alert! Activate the 'Sea Curtain' defense plan, prioritizing the protection of the important western city of 'Hanhai City'!"

"Furthermore," a glint of light flashed in Dai Tianfeng's eyes, "we must secretly contact our forces on overseas islands, especially those islands that have clandestine contact with the Deep Sea Soul Beast clan. At all costs, we must obtain all intelligence about the Demon Emperor and the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan! We must find out exactly who the Demon Emperor's hatred is directed at, her modus operandi, and... whether it is possible to temporarily appease or divert her attention with benefits or something else!"

Qibao Glazed Sect.

The teacup in Ning Fengzhi's hand slipped silently, fell to the ground, and shattered.

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo also had extremely solemn expressions.

“Feng Zhi, this…” Bone Douluo’s voice was hoarse.

Ning Fengzhi slowly got up, walked to the window, and looked eastward, towards the ocean.

"First the Ice Emperor of the Far North, then the Demon Emperor of the Deep Sea... Top-tier beings among soul beasts have successively received such terrifying enhancements, and all of them harbor strong hostility towards humans..."

"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, the continent is truly about to undergo a tremendous change unprecedented in ten thousand years."

Sword Douluo Chen Xin gripped the Seven Kill Sword tightly: "Feng Zhi, what should we do? Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School isn't directly on the coast, our commercial network spans the entire coastline, and countless disciples and clansmen live in coastal cities..."

Ning Fengzhi remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "First, immediately activate the highest-level family risk avoidance plan and secretly transfer all non-essential personnel, core members, and important assets to several absolutely safe secret locations in the inland areas."

"Second, we will scale back all our business activities along the coast and try to recover as much capital and resources as possible."

"Third, in the name of the sect, dispatch elite soul master teams to assist the Heaven Dou Empire in defending several key coastal cities closely related to us, but the main task is self-preservation and evacuation support, not to hold them to the death."

"Fourth," a resolute glint flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes, "secretly activate the 'Seagod Island' communication channel."

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were both startled: "Seagod Island? Feng Zhi, you mean..."

"The Demon Emperor's hatred explicitly mentions that the fall of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is related to the Sea God's legacy."

Ning Fengzhi said in a low voice, "Seagod Island is a sacred place for the worship of the Seagod and the guardian of the Seagod's legacy."

"If there is anyone in this world who can understand or restrain the Demon Emperor, it is probably only Seagod Island."
