Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 403 Why don't we go deliver it together?

After listening to Xu Jiujiu finish speaking, Qian Renxue nodded.

"You handle this first, and report back to me if you get any information."

Xu Jiujiu bowed slightly: "Yes, young master."

……

After leaving the mansion, Qian Renxue communicated with Xu Tianran.

Originally, Qian Renxue thought that the crown prince would oppose her plan to establish a vassal state, but to her surprise, he agreed immediately.

Xu Tianran's reasoning was that since the Starsea Empire could set an example first, they might as well go with the flow and use this place as a model. Let the East see that if they were willing to surrender, their national structure could be preserved, as long as they paid tribute regularly.

Otherwise, if they fight and kill their way through, who would surrender? Everyone would fight to the death. In that case, anti-war voices would also emerge within the Sun Moon Empire.

However, the real reason was that in the northern part of the Sun Moon Empire, there was a duke who wanted to cause trouble for the Sun Moon Royal Family and was planning to establish his own duchy. However, the Sun Moon Royal Family had already learned of this.

The current emperor is already plagued by illness and is not keen on waging war against his own people, but Xu Tianran thinks differently. He wants to use this dukedom, the glorious Grand Duke, to establish his authority.

A disagreement arose between the Crown Prince and the Emperor, with the Gongfeng Hall indicating it would not take sides and the Mingde Hall remaining silent.

If it weren't for Qian Renxue and the Spirit Hall's appearance, Jing Hongchen might have secretly sided with the Crown Prince. However, at this moment, Jing Hongchen had no interest in getting involved in the petty power struggles within the royal family.

Therefore, at this time, Qian Renxue proposed the plan to take over the Xinghai region as a vassal state. He wanted to try it out as a pilot project. If the effect was not good, then he would directly send troops to suppress the Brilliant Duke. If the effect was good, then he would try to accept it.

Without realizing it, Xu Tianran also lost some of the ruthlessness he originally possessed.

It was because of the Spirit Hall and Qian Renxue's appearance that the Sun Moon Empire was able to have a smooth ride in a certain sense, and he became a little lazy, or rather, a little inseparable from the Spirit Hall and Qian Renxue.

In the following days, the Star Sea Empire "actively" provoked the Sun Moon Empire. Xu Tianran ordered the Soul Master Corps to launch a self-defense counterattack, and the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps invaded the Star Sea Empire.

Just as people on the mainland were shocked by this incident, another piece of news happened to be released.

Shrek Academy secretly dispatched a Sea Douluo, in coordination with a previously planted undercover Title Douluo, to threaten Princess Xu Yun and coerce the Star Sea Empire's royal family.

One is an officially confirmed war, and the other is a rumor circulating among the people, which inevitably leads to a lot of speculation.

Then another message came out: Xu Jiujiu and the young emperor survived because they happened to encounter a temple priest passing by Xinghai City. The priest couldn't stand what Shrek Academy and Sea Douluo were doing and intervened to save the royal family members.

Three days later, the public opinion had grown even stronger.

Xu Jiujiu stepped forward at the opportune moment and announced that the Star Sea Empire had submitted to the Temple and the Sun and Moon.

The reason is simple: ten thousand years ago, the Xu family of the Star Crown Sect was one of the six original families of the Spirit Hall. Now, it is simply a matter of returning to the source.

This simple declaration immediately dropped a massive soul-guided bomb across the entire continent, a fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell of at least level twelve!

Because, in a sense, Xu Jiujiu's declaration is equivalent to indirectly stating that the so-called Sun Temple and Silver Moon Temple are actually the Spirit Hall, which was once destroyed!

Moreover, Xu Jiujiu's choice of words was very clever. She did not only mention the Sun and Moon Empire, but also the Temple and the Sun and Moon Empire, with the Temple preceding the Sun and Moon Empire.

What does this mean? It means that the Spirit Hall's sphere of influence has begun to extend beyond the Sun Moon Empire and is moving eastward across the continent!

Meanwhile, Shrek Academy received this news.

"Damn it!!" Sea Dragon Douluo slammed his fist on the table.

Because he saw in a soul guide image bead that Hai Huan Douluo's cultivation had been crippled and he was imprisoned with a special soul guide device, hanging on the city gate of Xinghai City!

"Brother Long! Don't be impulsive! This is a ploy to lure us over for a rescue!" Sea Spear Douluo hurriedly said.

"Of course I know this is a lure to us!" Sea Dragon Douluo gasped for breath. "But can we not go? Do you know how the outside world is judging us right now?" "They're saying we're a bunch of sea turtles who only know how to cower in Shrek City!" Sea Dragon Douluo said angrily.

"Didn't they say 'Lake Turtle'?" Seahorse Douluo corrected.

Sea Dragon Douluo wished he could give Sea Horse Douluo a big slit.

"You bastard, going to Drunken Immortal's Abode in Star Luo City every few days, everyone who goes there must be going crazy!" Sea Dragon Douluo cursed, "Don't call yourself Seahorse Douluo, call yourself Stallion Douluo!"

"What do you mean?" Seahorse Douluo was bewildered.

Sea Spear Douluo patiently explained, "What they mean is that Seagod Island in Shrek City is built on Seagod Lake, so the Seagod Pavilion shouldn't be called that anymore; it's better to call it Lakegod Pavilion. That's why they call us Sea Douluos turtles in the lake, only knowing how to cower."

Seeing that Hai Mao was still patiently explaining, Hai Long Douluo felt like spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Have all my brothers gone mad from staying in Poseidon Valley?

"No! We absolutely have to go this time!" The Sea Dragon Douluo himself didn't seem to be very bright.

"We are the Sea Douluos, the Sea Douluos!" Sea Dragon Douluo roared. "We are the true confidants left behind by Lord Sea God. From the fall of the Sea Maidens and Starfish, to the juniors of Tianhai Academy becoming idiots, cripples, or even dead, if we continue to tolerate this, what will the people of the continent think of us? What will they think of the Sea God?"

"But the ancestor Haotian said we shouldn't go out casually right now," Sea Spear Douluo said weakly.

"We are Sea Douluo, not some damned vassal of the Lake God Pavilion!" Sea Dragon Douluo was utterly enraged. "They could remain unmoved after Mu En and Xuan Zi died, are we just going to watch our brothers fall one by one?"

"Why don't we go together?" Sea Dragon Douluo said resentfully.

"Shall we go together to deliver it?" Seahorse Douluo asked.

"Get out of here!" Sea Dragon Douluo slammed the table to dust with a single slap. "We're here to take revenge!"

Sea Spear Douluo frowned slightly: "How about we contact Lord Sea God Douluo?"

"By this round trip, Sea Illusion Douluo will be dried into a dried-up human body!" Sea Dragon Douluo's eyes blazed with anger.

Sea Spear Douluo nodded helplessly: "If only we had the same kind of communication soul tool as the Sun Moon Empire."

That evening, Tang Hao sensed the departure of the three Title Douluos.

"Brother Hao, aren't you going to stop them?" Ah Yin from the Golden Tree asked.

Tang Hao sighed, "Let them go. They're just a few Title Douluos. As long as Sea God Douluo Chen Haoming is still around, we can suppress them in terms of the number of Limit Douluos. Moreover, what's truly important is the divine artifact on Chen Haoming's body. If Hailong and the others can rescue Sea Illusion Douluo, that would be even better. After all, the Star Sea Empire no longer has any Title Douluo-level combat power."

Perhaps this is the consequence of neglecting intelligence warfare.

After all, the arrogant Shrek Academy didn't even know how many elders and patrons the Holy Spirit Cult had.

Apart from the deceased Moon, none of the remaining elders of Shrek Academy knew the true extent of the development of the Sun Moon Empire's soul-guided technology.

Ah Yin said, "Why don't you go along and take a look? After all, she's a direct descendant of the mistress."

Tang Hao shook his head and said, "No, that rumor about the Chosen One that came out of nowhere makes me afraid to leave easily."

"Especially this brat!" Tang Hao looked at Huo Yuhao, who had just had his legs reattached and was recuperating inside the Golden Tree.
