Douluo Continent: The Evil Tiger Subdues the Eight Desolations, and Marries Zhu Zhuqing

Just to be on the safe side, let's leave it to Lieutenant Lin Dong.

"Wait a moment," the guard decided.

"I'll go and inform Captain Lin Dong."

After saying that, he turned and jogged into the military camp.

Lin Ye wasn't in a hurry. He stood at the gate and waited, his hands in his pockets, casually looking around at the defensive fortifications surrounding the military camp.

"This military camp is well-built. The city walls are at least eight meters high, the watchtowers are spaced reasonably, and there are three moats around the perimeter."

Lin Ye whispered, "It seems the Heavenly Dou Empire has put a lot of effort into this defensive line."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't speak; she was observing the taxi drivers around her.

"Lin Ye, these soldiers don't seem to be in good spirits."

Zhu Zhuqing said in a low voice,

"The bloodshot eyes and the sluggish gait are likely due to fatigue from prolonged high-intensity combat."

"That big cat has good observation skills," Lin Ye remarked.

"The Star Luo Empire has been launching a fierce offensive recently, and Tian Dou is having a hard time fighting back."

Lin Ye sneered. The more strenuous it was, the better. The more strenuous it was, the more weight he would carry as the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.

A moment later, a series of hurried footsteps approached.

The guard led a middle-aged man out.

The man was dressed in black officer's armor, with a square face, an old scar on his chin, and sharp eyes.

Lin Ye glanced at him and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Not bad, he's a level 61 Soul Emperor."

He leaned close to Zhu Zhuqing's ear and said...

Zhu Zhuqing nodded gently.

The newcomer was none other than Captain Lin Dong. He sized up the two young men in front of him, his brows furrowed.

"Are you two here to enlist in the army?" Lin Dong asked.

"That's right," Lin Ye replied with a smile.

"What's your name?"

My name is Lin Ye.

My name is Zhu Zhuqing.

Lin Dong's brows furrowed even more.

"Lin Ye?" he murmured the name, feeling like he'd heard it somewhere before.

"This name sounds so familiar..."

"Where did you two come from?"

Lin Ye didn't hesitate and said directly:

"We both come from the Spirit Hall."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong's expression changed instantly.

"What?" He suddenly took a step back.

"Are you from the Spirit Hall?"

With this retreat, the string in his mind also tightened.

Lin Ye, Spirit Hall, five ten-thousand-year spirit rings…

The Continental Elite High-Level Soul Master Tournament!

Holy Son of the Spirit Hall!

Lin Dong remembered! The news that had spread throughout the continent some time ago was about that monstrous genius who crushed all his opponents in the finals with five ten-thousand-year spirit rings!

He subconsciously released his martial spirit.

A phantom image of a gray wolf appeared behind him, and six soul rings rose up, two yellow, two purple, and two black, steadily encircling his body.

"Why are people from your Spirit Hall on the front lines of the Heaven Dou Empire?"

Lin Dong's voice turned somber, his tone revealing obvious wariness.

The guards on both sides of the gate tensed up, gripping their spears even tighter.

Lin Ye wasn't nervous at all; in fact, he almost wanted to laugh.

To be honest, he had no interest in even fighting a level 61 Soul Emperor who was putting on airs in front of him.

However, what needs to be said still needs to be said.

"Lieutenant Lin Dong, right? Don't be nervous, we are..."

He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"What wind blew the Spirit Hall people here?"

A deep voice came from above.

Lin Ye suddenly raised his head.

A burly middle-aged man is slowly descending from the sky.

This man was dressed in black armor with gold trim. He had a resolute face and graying temples, but he was vigorous and exuded the aura of a seasoned warrior.

The moment he landed, eight spirit rings lit up on his body.

Two yellow, two purple, four black! It's a Contra player!

Lin Ye's expression changed slightly.

A woman was with him.

She looked to be in her thirties, with a seductive figure and alluring features. She wore a tight-fitting dark red outfit, and her waist was so slender it seemed one could wrap your hand around it.

The woman also had a spirit ring appear on her body, and like Lin Dong, she was a level 61 Soul Emperor.

Lin Ye quickly calculated in his mind.

An 83rd-level Soul Douluo appeared in the front-line military camp of the Heaven Dou Empire, and Lin Dong's reaction upon seeing him suggested that he held a high position.

"Welcome, Grand Marshal!"

Lin Dong withdrew his martial spirit, knelt on one knee to pay his respects, and the taxi drivers around him also knelt down.

The visitor was none other than Xiao Zhan, the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Dou Empire's front lines.

Just in time.

Lin Ye sneered; it was his turn to perform.

After landing, Xiao Zhan's gaze swept over Lin Ye and Zhu Zhuqing, lingering on them for a few seconds.

"Hello," Xiao Zhan said calmly.

"I am Xiao Zhan, the Grand Marshal of the Heaven Dou Empire's Frontline."

Lin Ye stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist salute, his posture neither humble nor arrogant.

"Lin Ye, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, greets the Grand Marshal."

Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing to the side, also nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Xiao Zhan looked Lin Ye up and down, his eyes scrutinizing him.

"You are the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall?"

"Exactly."

"Indeed, you possess extraordinary bearing." Xiao Zhan nodded, his tone ambiguous, whether it was praise or a test.

Then he changed the subject, his voice becoming somber.

"However, the Heaven Dou Empire has never had any dealings with the Spirit Hall. What is the purpose of His Highness the Holy Son bringing his people all the way to the front lines of my Heaven Dou Empire?"

Zhu Zhuqing stood to the side,

He noticed that the alluring woman beside the Grand Marshal was also sizing up Lin Ye, her gaze ambiguous.

"The Grand Marshal is a straightforward man, so I won't beat around the bush either."

He met Xiao Zhan's gaze and uttered a few words.

"I've come to join forces with you to destroy the Star Luo Empire."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong almost bit his tongue.

Destroy...destroy the Star Luo Empire?

He looked at Lin Ye's excessively youthful face, then at the Grand Marshal's expression.

Xiao Zhan's eyebrows twitched slightly, but that was all.

"Join forces?"

"That's right."

"The Star Luo Empire has expanded too rapidly in recent years. If it continues at this pace, the Heaven Dou Empire will eventually be unable to withstand it."

He looked at Xiao Zhan and smiled.

"The Grand Marshal is a smart man and should understand the situation on the front lines better than I do. Rather than being slowly devoured by the Star Luo, we should join forces with our Spirit Hall and defeat them in one fell swoop."

Xiao Zhan did not respond immediately.

He stared at Lin Ye for several seconds, his eyes churning with unspoken emotions.

Join forces to destroy Star Luo...

That's easy for you to say.

Xiao Zhan sneered inwardly. What kind of place is the Spirit Hall? This behemoth comes to you and says it's for nothing? Nobody would believe it's a free lunch.

There is no free lunch in the world.

What exactly is the Spirit Hall up to?

"His Highness's suggestion has surprised me somewhat."

Xiao Zhan spoke, his tone neither warm nor cold.

"But this matter is of great importance, please allow me to consider it."

Lin Ye had expected him to say that, and nodded.

"Of course, the Grand Marshal is the one who commands the three armies, so he must be careful when making decisions."

He paused, then added, "However, I suggest the Grand Marshal not to think about it for too long. Xingluo won't wait for you to figure it out."

Xiao Zhan's brow twitched.

This kid, though young, is quick-witted and sharp-tongued.

The alluring woman beside him suddenly spoke, her voice languid and tinged with a hint of mockery.

"Grand Marshal, this Holy Son speaks quite interestingly. He's so young, yet he has quite the big mouth."

Lin Ye glanced at her.

"Who is this?"
