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

Chapter 85 Fear
"At the same time, send someone to contact Yu Xiaogang, offering him high-ranking positions and generous rewards, so that he can persuade Liu Erlong to submit to Wuhun City."

"If Yu Xiaogang refuses, we will kidnap him and use him to blackmail Liu Erlong."

"In addition, notify the Spirit Hall's branches in various locations to closely monitor the movements of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. If they discover any signs of troop mobilization, report it immediately."

Bibi Dong's voice was like a viper's hiss, carrying undisguised malice.

"I want to make Liu Erlong lose her way in anger and anxiety, and step by step walk into the trap I have set."

"Once she's exhausted, we'll wipe her and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family out of the water!"

"Yes, Your Majesty the Pope!"

Ghost and Moon Gate bowed in acceptance of the order and turned to leave.

Inside the Papal Palace, only Bibi Dong's cold laughter echoed in the empty hall.

The atmosphere was equally somber inside the council hall of Emperor Xueye in the imperial city of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Emperor Xueye stood by the window, gazing in the direction of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, his brows furrowed and his eyes filled with worry.

"Liu Erlong has broken through to level 77 Soul Saint, greatly increasing the strength of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. This is both an opportunity and a threat to our Heaven Dou Empire."

"The Snow Night Emperor said in a deep voice."

The prime minister bowed and said, "Your Majesty is absolutely right."

"The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan has a long-standing feud with Wuhun City. Now that Liu Erlong's strength has increased dramatically, they will undoubtedly be even more determined to fight against Wuhun City."

"We can take this opportunity to establish closer ties with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan and jointly fight against the threat from Spirit City."

"But at the same time, we cannot ignore the ambitions of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family."

Another minister added, "The three upper sects are already powerful. Now that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family is leading in strength, if they want to expand their power in the future, the Heaven Dou Empire will also face enormous pressure."

Emperor Xueye nodded, a resolute glint in his eyes: "Issue my decree to send an envoy with generous gifts to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to congratulate Liu Erlong on her success in the examination. At the same time, I propose that both sides establish a military alliance to jointly deal with the threats from Martial Soul City and the Star Luo Empire."

"In addition, keep a close eye on the movements of Blue Tyrant Academy, especially Liu Erlong's words and actions."

"Report this immediately if you discover any signs that she is expanding her power."

"Also, strengthen ties with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's support capabilities are unparalleled on the continent. If we can simultaneously win over both the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the strength of our Heavenly Dou Empire will be greatly enhanced, enough to cope with any variables."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The ministers bowed and accepted the order, then turned and left. The Emperor gazed out the window, lost in thought.

"Liu Erlong, I hope you can be pragmatic and join hands with the Tiandou Empire. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to reluctantly part with you."

In Dai Tianfeng's study in the imperial city of the Star Luo Empire, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Dai Tianfeng sat behind his desk, toying with a jade thumb ring in his hand, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

"Liu Erlong... Level 77 Soul Saint..."

Dai Tianfeng murmured softly, his tone tinged with seriousness, "The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family is about to rise."

"Zhu Zhuyun has just evolved into the Netherworld White Tiger, and Liu Erlong has already received such a generous reward. This list is getting more and more interesting." The Imperial Guard Commander stood aside and whispered, "Your Majesty, Liu Erlong has a fiery temper, and now that her strength has greatly increased, she will surely become a thorn in the side of Martial Soul City."

"Could we take this opportunity to form an alliance with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan and fight against Spirit City together?"

Dai Tianfeng shook his head, a cold smile playing on his lips: "An alliance? The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan has always been arrogant, and now that Liu Erlong's strength has increased dramatically, they are even more disdainful of everyone. Do you think they would sincerely form an alliance with us? It's nothing more than mutual exploitation."

"Moreover, Zhu Zhuyun has just risen to power, and our Star Luo Empire still needs time to stabilize internally."

"If we form an alliance with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan at this time, it will inevitably provoke a strong backlash from Wuhun City, which will be detrimental to our development."

He paused, then continued, "Pass on my orders to closely monitor the movements of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan and Wuhun City."

"Let them fight each other to the death first, and we'll sit back and watch them fight. When the time is right, we'll step in and clean up the mess."

"In addition, strengthen surveillance of Zhu Zhuyun."

"Now that Liu Erlong's strength has greatly increased, Zhu Zhuyun's pressure will inevitably increase. She may be eager to prove herself and do some impulsive things."

"We must prepare in advance to avoid her causing unnecessary trouble for the Empire."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The Imperial Guard commander bowed and accepted the order, then turned and left. Inside the study, Dai Tianfeng gazed out the window, a glint of greed in his eyes.

"The Netherworld White Tiger, the mutated fire dragon, and the titled Douluo of Wuhun City... the waters of this continent are getting muddier and muddier. But muddy waters are good for fishing."

On the rooftop of Tianxing Academy, Li Tianyi, Chi Yang, Xuan Shuang, and the others still stood there, gazing in the direction of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, their expressions varied.

The Crimson Sun Dragon's eyes flashed with intense light, and his tone carried a hint of fighting spirit.

"A level 77 Soul Saint, a mutated fire dragon, with a Soul Ring amplification of four hundred years, Liu Erlong's strength is indeed not to be underestimated."

"If we were to fight head-on, even I might not be able to gain the upper hand."

A hint of wariness flashed in Xuan Shuang's icy blue eyes: "Liu Erlong has a fiery temper, and now that his strength has greatly increased, he will inevitably become even more unscrupulous."

“Blue Tyrant Academy is not far from our Skywalk Academy. If she expands her power in the future, she may clash with us.”

Li Tianyi's double pupils flickered slightly, and he said calmly, "There's no need to worry too much. Although Liu Erlong is very strong, her weakness is also obvious—she's too impulsive and easily swayed by her emotions."

"Moreover, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan has many enemies, and Wuhun City will never sit idly by and watch her rise to power; it will definitely take action against her."

"We just need to wait and see how things develop, and accelerate the improvement of our own strength."

Li Tian paused, his gaze falling on Zhu Zhuqing. "Zhuqing, your Netherworld Cat Martial Soul is incompatible with Liu Erlong's Fire Dragon Martial Soul. Her flames have a suppressive effect on you."

"In the time to come, you need to focus on cultivating ice-type soul skills to improve your defense and resistance, so that you will be able to fight against Liu Erlong in the future."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, a determined glint in her eyes: "I understand."

"I will break through to the Soul Saint realm as soon as possible. She is nothing to fear, and I will not let her become a threat to our Heavenly Path Academy."

Shui Bing'er stood aside and said softly, "Liu Erlong's soul ring amplification greatly enhances the power of her soul skills. Perhaps we can study the characteristics of her soul skills and formulate countermeasures in advance."

"In addition, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family's Blue Lightning Domain is extremely domineering, and we also need to improve the academy's defense system as soon as possible, just in case."
