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

"It's very simple." Lin Ye's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Once we get back, I'll have Xiao Zhan immediately order the entire army to launch an attack and sweep through. With our current resources and the covert cooperation of the Spirit Hall, I should be able to kick down the gates of the Star Luo Empire's capital in three months at most."

The taxi drivers behind him were filled with excitement upon hearing Lin Ye's words.

"Commander Lin is mighty!"

"Follow Captain Lin, and you'll live the high life!"

"Let's crush those bastards from Xingluo!"

The atmosphere in the team was extremely high.

After a night of travel, the sky gradually began to lighten with the first hint of dawn.

By the time the tall wooden fence and watchtower of the Tiandou Camp came into view, it was already fully light.

At the entrance of the military camp, the guards on the taxis saw a group of people rushing towards them from afar and immediately sounded the bugle.

"Who goes there! Stop right there!" the guard shouted.

Li Ze charged forward first, raising the waist token in his hand and shouting:

"Are you all blind?! It's Captain Lin who led us back victorious! Open the door!"

Upon seeing that it was the elite troops, the guards quickly pushed open the heavy wooden door.

Lin Ye rode his horse and led his troops slowly into the military camp.

The military camp was already in an uproar.

Grand Marshal Xiao Zhan didn't sleep a wink last night.

He knew that Lin Ye had led over a hundred men to ambush Dai Tianfeng's 50,000-strong army, which he considered an act of madness.

Although Lin Ye is very strong, that's an army of 50,000, plus the Soul Douluo Dai Tianfeng in charge!

Xiao Zhan paced back and forth in the command tent, smoking one pipe after another.

He had even prepared for the worst: how would he explain to the Spirit Hall if Lin Ye were to die in battle?

"Report—!"

A messenger scrambled into the commander's tent, his face beaming with ecstasy.

"Grand Marshal! Grand Marshal! Commander Lin is back!"

Xiao Zhan dropped his pipe with a "thud" and grabbed the messenger by the collar.

"What did you say? Lin Ye is back? Is he alright? How many of the men he brought with him are left?" Xiao Zhan asked in a series of questions.

"No...no injury, Lieutenant Lin is fine, and the brothers from the Sharp Knife Battalion have all returned unharmed," the messenger said, panting.

Xiao Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, pushed aside the messenger, and strode towards the camp gate.

He wanted to see whether Lin Ye had gone to ambush them or just wandered around and came back.

Xiao Zhan led a group of generals and rushed to the training ground.

Just then, they saw Lin Ye dismount and toss the reins to the taxi driver next to him.

Zhu Zhuqing followed behind Lin Ye. Neither of them had a single trace of blood on them, and their clothes were clean. They didn't look like they had just finished a tough battle; they looked like they had just returned from an outing.

Xiao Zhan quickly went to meet him.

"Captain Lin, you're finally back!"

Xiao Zhan looked Lin Ye up and down, making sure he wasn't missing a single hair, before he was completely relieved.

"How's the situation? Did you encounter Dai Tianfeng's army? How did you escape?"

In Xiao Zhan's view, it was already a miracle that Lin Ye was able to lead more than a hundred people to escape unscathed from under the noses of an army of fifty thousand.

Lin Ye dusted himself off and, looking at Xiao Zhan's tense expression, said calmly:

"I encountered it."

"Have we encountered him?" Xiao Zhan's heart tightened.

"So you weren't discovered, were you?"

Lin Ye shook his head and casually said:

"It's not that they weren't discovered; we simply scattered them. Dai Tianfeng is dead, and that army of 50,000 has also dispersed."

The moment those words were spoken, the entire training ground fell silent.

Xiao Zhan's eyes widened, almost popping out of their sockets.

He stood there with his mouth open, unable to close it for a long time, completely frozen in place.

The generals following behind Xiao Zhan looked at each other, wondering if they had misheard.

"Lieutenant Lin... Lieutenant Lin, you... you're joking, right?"

Xiao Zhan stammered, unable to believe what he was hearing.

That's Dai Tianfeng! An 88th-level Soul Douluo! And he has 50,000 elite troops!

You think you can wipe them out with just over a hundred men you brought? You think you're killing chickens!

Lin Ye was too lazy to explain further. He tilted his head and said to Li Ze behind him:

"Li Ze, come and report the battle situation to the Grand Marshal."

Li Ze had been unable to contain himself any longer. He stepped forward and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Grand Marshal! Lieutenant Lin's words are all true! We laid an ambush at Qingfeng Gorge last night, and then..."

Li Ze vividly described the battle, spitting everywhere.

Xiao Zhan was completely stunned after hearing this.

Fifteen Soul Saints were instantly killed?

Even Dai Tianfeng's six clones couldn't break through the defense with their ultimate moves?

The Contra character, who was about to self-destruct, simply vanished?

This sounds like a story!

Xiao Zhan turned his head and stared intently at Lin Ye, his mind racing with conflicting thoughts:

What kind of monster is Lin Ye? How old is he? A Soul Emperor, yet he can easily slaughter a Soul Douluo?

With such a holy son in the Spirit Hall, what will the Heaven Dou Empire use to contend with it in the future?

Fortunately, they are allies now. If they were enemies, I wouldn't even know how I died!

Xiao Zhan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart.

He knew that Li Ze wouldn't dare lie about something like this.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Xiao Zhan was so excited that he said "good" three times in a row, his old face turning bright red.

"Captain Lin, your victory in this battle has rendered an unparalleled service to our Heavenly Dou Empire!"

Xiao Zhan turned around, faced the generals who were still in a daze, and roared:

"What are you all standing there for! Didn't you hear what Captain Lin said? The Star Luo Army is leaderless; now is the time to strike while they're down!"

"Pass on my order! The entire army must assemble immediately, prepare food, and after we've eaten and drunk our fill, launch a full-scale attack! Completely crush the Star Luo Empire!"

The generals, as if waking from a dream, loudly accepted the order and turned to gather their troops.

Lin Ye stretched as he looked at the bustling military camp.

"Alright, Grand Marshal, I'll leave this to you. I've been fighting with Big Cat all night, I'm tired, I'm going back to rest now," Lin Ye said with a yawn.

"Alright, alright, Captain Lin, go and rest. We'll handle the rest of the heavy lifting!"

Xiao Zhan now obeys Lin Ye's every word and is as respectful as a grandson.

Holding Zhu Zhuqing's hand, Lin Ye swaggered toward his tent amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of a group of soldiers.

Back in the tent, Lin Ye plopped down on the large wooden bed covered with animal hides.

This tent was specially arranged for them by Xiao Zhan; it was the most luxurious and largest tent in the entire military camp.

Inside, there was not only a bed, but also a bathtub, and even a thick carpet on the floor.

Zhu Zhuqing followed her in and pulled the tent flap shut behind her.

After fighting all night, she was indeed feeling quite tired, and she was sweating a lot. Her tight black leather jacket clung to her body, outlining her breathtakingly hot curves.

She was about to pour herself a glass of water when Lin Ye patted the bed next to her.

"Big kitty, stop what you're doing and come sit down," Lin Ye said.

Zhu Zhuqing put down her water glass and obediently walked to the bedside and sat down.

"Take out that soul bone from before, and absorb it now."

Lin Ye looked at her, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"Now?" Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback.
