In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

But now... hehe, given the current situation, the Sea God Pavilion might even face its demise in Long Yeyue's hands. The pressure on her is immense.

"wrong!"

Long Yeyue suddenly stopped and looked back in the direction of Tianhai City, her brows furrowed. "That mastermind went to such lengths, even using Vesbania ore, to block the Starship's path, and in the end, we only captured a few unrelated individuals, yet we forced them to back down?"

Upon hearing this, Zang Xin's body suddenly trembled, and a feeling of unease instantly welled up in his heart.

Something's... not quite right.

They made such a big fuss and even used Vesbania ore, but in the end, they only made one appearance... no, not even one appearance, before cutting their losses and surviving.

Does the mastermind Jiang Yuying and Cai Yue'er mention really exist?

If the high-ranking officials of the Sun Moon Empire orchestrated this themselves, then the problem would be enormous.

As for the Tianhai Alliance, well... every time the Tianhai Alliance holds a grand competition, the higher-ups spend a lot of money to invite Shrek Academy to attend, which is a kind of alternative way of getting close to the Sea God Pavilion. It's probably... plausible that the Sun Moon Empire would use this method to purge these officials who are close to the Sea God Pavilion, right?

Once the seeds of doubt are sown, they are difficult to eradicate.

It's better to be safe than sorry.

If the mastermind behind this is a lie fabricated by the Sun Moon Empire and the Spirit Pagoda, they can't afford to be complacent.

Upon returning to Shrek City, Long Yeyue, in Yun Ming's name, issued a notification to the Star Luo delegation, essentially stating that... the Starship had been attacked, and even though the representatives of the Sea God Pavilion and Shrek Academy had not suffered any substantial harm, they could no longer board the fleet officially led by the Star Luo Empire.

Thus, the Sea God Pavilion and the Tang Sect jointly formed a fleet to transport the delegations of the two major powers to the Star Luo Continent.

To outsiders, the Sea God Pavilion and the Tang Sect seem overly cautious, but no one knows that they are simply taking precautions against the Sun Moon Empire and the Spirit Pagoda, buying themselves a layer of insurance.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

The fleets of the Star Luo Empire and the Sea God Pavilion landed at a port in the northwest of the Star Luo Continent at the same time, one after the other.

The Star Luo Continent is not solely dominated by the Star Luo Empire; it also contains other formidable forces such as the Spirit Pagoda, the Seven Great Sects, and the Green Skull Organization.

The Green Skull organization is the most famous among them, and it has many mecha pilots with amplification-type martial souls. Due to the arrival of the Battle Armor Era, their livelihoods were shattered, and the Green Skull organization was established under the leadership of a person with good intentions.

Everyone knows what kind of people the Star Luo Empire under the White Tiger Clan is. In order to curry favor with Shrek Academy, they even created a bizarre monster academy... under the guise of learning Shrek Academy's educational methods.

This trip to the Star Luo Continent is destined to be anything but smooth sailing for the Douluo Continent delegation.

The scene shifts to the Star Luo Empire's Soul Guidance Special Train, where Huo Yuhao sits in a seat, holding a hamburger in his left hand and a bottle of red wine in his right. He takes a bite of hamburger and a sip of red wine, completely absorbed in the moment.

"This is so refreshing! I've been cooped up on the ship for the past two months."

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but complain. He was already impatient, and this kind of long-distance voyage was torture for him.

Upon hearing this, many Soul Masters in the carriage began to complain, following Huo Yuhao's lead. Due to the age restrictions of the Dragon Valley Secret Realm, most of the members of the delegation sent to the Star Luo Continent this time were young Soul Masters under the age of twenty, and they had never experienced such hardship.

After complaining for a while, a handsome young man slowly stood up. Huo Yuhao recognized the young man; he was Qiu Siyuan, the leader of the Tang Sect team this time, who was nineteen years old and had a soul power of level sixty-two.

Qiu Siyuan cleared his throat and said solemnly, "Everyone, before we arrive in Star Luo City, there's something I need to tell you. This trip to Dragon Valley… our opponents aren't just the Spirit Pagoda and the Sun Moon Empire. Besides the forces we know, there might even be representatives from some unheard-of forces joining the battle. In extreme cases, we might even have to cooperate with the Spirit Pagoda and the Sun Moon Empire. Don't forget, broadly speaking… we are all people of the Douluo Continent!"

"After arriving in Xingluo City, everyone must refrain from causing trouble. We may have to stay in the Dragon Valley Secret Realm for several months, so we must not rashly make enemies before then."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of muffled shelling sounds suddenly rang out, and everyone in the carriage felt an extremely strong thrust. The next moment, the entire carriage was swept away.

"Prepare for battle!"

Led by Qiu Siyuan, a group of young battle armor masters from Tang Sect, Sea God Pavilion, and Shrek Academy activated the set effects of their one-word and two-word battle armors, protecting Huo Yuhao and the other students whose soul power was below level fifty behind them.

The Star Luo official team was well prepared, and a series of black-level mechs were deployed to meet the invading enemy.

Just then, a mech more than two people tall jumped out of the dense forest. The mech was entirely green, and it held a long sword. The skull-shaped mark in front of the cockpit revealed its identity.

The Green Skull organization!

But... what level is this green mech?

The green mech moved.

In a flash, it braved a hail of bullets from the Star Luo official mecha squad and arrived beside a black mecha. With a swing of its longsword, the mecha's left arm was severed.

"If Heaven had not given birth to me, Li Xuanyi, the way of the sword would have remained shrouded in eternal darkness... Sword, come!"

The green mecha raised its longsword high, and nine soul rings—purple-purple-purple-purple, black-black-black-black-red—slowly rose and pulsed around the mecha.

"Ninth Soul Skill: Divine and Demonic Slash!"

As the ninth spirit ring under the mecha's feet slowly lit up, the longsword in its hand drew a cross, and two sword energies, one bright and one dark, tore through the surrounding space, whistling towards the location of the Star Luo Envoy.

"A mecha capable of using soul skills."

Le Zheng'en murmured, a sharp pain shooting through his heart.

The Sea God Pavilion reached its peak upon its debut and has suppressed the Douluo Continent for 20,000 years. In the end, its soul guidance technology is not even as good as that of a rebel organization?

Le Zheng'en was a little unsure of the exact strength of this green mecha, but he knew very well that even with the abilities of the Bow God Douluo Hai Wuliang, he might not be able to deal with it easily.

Thinking of this, Le Zheng'en took a deep breath, instructed his daughter to protect Le Zhengyin and her brother, then drew his Heaven-Measuring Sword and flashed to stand in front of the Star Luo delegation. (End of Chapter)
