Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 429 Uninvited Guest

After enjoying the delicious food, Ji Lin and the others bought some unique handicrafts and souvenirs from Haiyue City to take back as collectibles.

I took a few girls for a good stroll around Haiyue City. Finally, we found a restaurant facing the sea. We sat on the terrace, enjoying our food while admiring the sea view. The waves were crashing against the shore, making a rhythmic sound that put us in a good mood.

As night fell, Haiyue City became even more enchanting, with the city lights reflecting the starry sky. The bars and cafes by the sea began to come alive, filled with music and laughter. Ji Lin and his companions thoroughly enjoyed the charm of this seaside city.

If they weren't busy, Ji Lin and the others would have planned to stay longer. Cultivation requires a balance of work and rest. Everyone had been working very hard in their cultivation over the past two months. After relaxing for a day in Haiyue City, all the women felt refreshed, and the speed at which their soul power circulated within them had increased.

After resting for a night at Haiyue City, the next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Ji Lin opened the hotel window, and a fresh sea breeze rushed in, carrying a faint salty smell and the coolness of the morning.

The sky was still a pale blue, and on the eastern horizon, a faint orange-red hue was quietly rising, heralding the start of a new day.

He took a deep breath, savoring the tranquility, and then looked at the large bed behind him. Wang Qiu'er and Ling Luochen had already woken up and were staring intently at each other.

Ji Lin shook his head helplessly. When the rooms were being assigned last night, both Wang Qiu'er and Ling Luochen wanted to share a room with him, and neither of the two women was willing to give in.

Finally, Ji Lin forcefully pulled the two of them into the room, leaving Wang Dong'er and Nan Qiuqiu, who were watching the commotion, dumbfounded.

Of course, Ji Lin did nothing last night, and even if he wanted to, he couldn't. Wang Qiu'er and Ling Luochen would never agree to it, especially since Wang Dong'er and the others lived next door, and the two women would never allow Ji Lin to do anything reckless.

In the end, Ji Lin could only embrace one woman on each side, with each of them occupying one of his arms, even though Ji Lin was still determined to do something bad.

Unfortunately, the two women were on high alert and guarded him closely. The moment he made a move, they joined forces to suppress him.

Although the two women would be powerless to resist if he really wanted to use force, Ji Lin would not do that. They had already accepted sharing a bed, so how far was the next step? Ji Lin had plenty of time and was not in a hurry.

After breakfast, the group set off again.

While eating breakfast, Wang Dong'er and the others frequently glanced at Wang Qiu'er and Ling Luochen. After discovering that the two girls showed no signs of anything amiss, their eyes revealed disappointment.

No! What are you disappointed about? Ji Lin really wanted to ask.

They no longer use flying soul tools to travel. Unlike the Star Luo Empire, the Sun Moon Empire possesses the most high-altitude detection soul tools on the entire continent. In addition to cities, high-altitude detection soul tools are also likely installed in the wild.

With their capabilities, even traveling by land, it would only take them about two days to reach their destination.

According to Shrek Academy's intelligence, the Sun Moon Empire imprisoned the contestants they captured in Sunrise City, which is about 400 miles away from Mingdu.

Sunrise City is located directly south of Mingdu, surrounded by endless plains. Its simple terrain is very unfavorable for rescue operations by various countries.

Having learned from the previous Mingdu explosion, the Sun Moon Empire did not hold the hostages in Mingdu again. Instead, they held them in Risheng City, which is not large and has walls, making it easy to defend. It is likely that Risheng City is heavily guarded, and the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult are definitely there as well. The most troublesome thing is the Sun Moon Empire's advanced soul detection devices, which make the rescue operation very difficult.

Moreover, since the Body Sect had used the burrowing soul tool once, the Sun Moon Empire was already prepared and it was impossible for them to go underground.

That's why Ji Lin led everyone on a long detour, all to avoid being exposed.

Once they were on their way again, they didn't take any remote paths, but followed the official road on the map and moved forward at full speed.

Ji Lin bought the map casually at Haiyue City.

Just as Ji Lin and his group were rapidly advancing towards Sunrise City, a group of uninvited guests arrived at the border of the Sun Moon Empire.

Elder Xuan flew at the very front, with Elder Song, who looked like an old woman, beside him. Behind them were four other elders, plus Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy, and Qian Duoduo, the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department.

Although there are only eight people in total, their combined strength is enough to allow them to escape unscathed even if they face the Dragon Emperor Douluo.

Qian Duoduo had just advanced to level 95 not long ago, officially becoming a Super Douluo. This means that all eight members of Shrek Academy on this trip are at the Super Douluo level, and their strength is even greater than when they assassinated Xu Tianran at the Mingdu Imperial Palace.

"Xuanzi, are we really going to do this? It seems a bit against the rules," Old Master Song said in a deep voice, frowning.

Old Song is a conservative and has always opposed the neutral Shrek Academy interfering in such conflicts between nations.

Elder Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Do you think the actions of the Sun Moon Empire were in accordance with the rules? They intercepted and captured and imprisoned members of the participating teams after such an important competition as the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament. This already violated the rules."

Old Song sighed and said, "Even the sun and moon produce monsters, alas... I'm just afraid that those evil spirit masters will also..."

Elder Xuan shook his head and said, "They wouldn't dare. In terms of Soul Masters and overall combat strength, the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Star Luo Empire are inferior to the Sun and Moon Empires. But if it's a pure Soul Master contest, they're not afraid. Unless those evil Soul Masters are courting death or coming out in full force, they would never dare to make a move. Let's go. We need to make some noise to cover for the others."

Old Song sighed. Xuanzi was now the head of the Sea God Pavilion, and the other elders had also agreed. Even if he had objections, it would be useless, and he could only follow along.

Led by Elder Xuan, he took a step in the air and floated forward, already entering the airspace of the Sun Moon Empire ahead.

This is the border, naturally the place where the Sun Moon Empire's soul-guided detection devices are most concentrated. Instantly, seven or eight high-altitude soul-guided detection devices locked onto Elder Xuan's location.

Elder Xuan smiled slightly, pressed his right hand down in the air, and then a strong yellow light burst forth from his body.

Instantly, the entire sky seemed to collapse, and an unparalleled aura burst forth from him. The high-altitude detection soul guides that had discovered Elder Xuan all exploded violently, as the immense energy intensity of the detected objects affected them all.

It's important to understand that these high-altitude detection soul tools are themselves based on sealed baby bottles. The sealed baby bottles contain enough soul power to support their long-term detection. The soul power fluctuations emanating from Elder Xuan were so powerful that they caused a resonance with the soul power within these baby bottles.

"Bang—" A dazzling firework exploded not far away.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang..." A series of explosions, accompanied by bursts of fiery red fireworks, rang out in the air. In just a short while, all the high-altitude detection soul guides within a ten-mile radius self-destructed under the powerful soul force fluctuations of Elder Xuan.

Following Elder Xuan's action, the others also began to move. With their Super Douluo cultivation, they didn't need flying soul tools to fly freely and at high speed in the air. The seven people quickly dispersed in seven different directions.

In just a short while, dazzling bursts of fire began to erupt in the dark night sky, and a large number of aerial detection soul guides shattered and fell to the ground.

However, the Sun Moon Empire, as expected of the strongest nation on the continent, launched a counterattack in an instant.

Clusters of intense light rose continuously from below, bombarding the sky. These were all large-caliber soul-guided cannons, including some special soul-guided cannons with effects such as binding, paralysis, and shock.

Those capable of striking at this altitude must be at least level six soul tools. For a moment, the entire sky was dazzlingly illuminated by those powerful lights. The intense light released by those soul cannons also covered the sky like a rain of death.

Faced with such a formidable force, even an ordinary Title Douluo would likely be thrown into disarray and forced to flee for their lives. Unfortunately, no matter how strong the Sun Moon Empire's defensive positions were, they couldn't possibly be set up to the strength of a Super Douluo, at least not simultaneously to counter eight Super Douluos.

Faced with the beam of light that suddenly appeared, the eight members of the Xuan family flew up into the sky in perfect unison. They didn't know how many soul-guided cannons the Sun Moon Empire had below, and it would be unwise to fight them head-on. Moreover, no matter what level of soul-guided device it was, even if it was a level nine device, its attack range was limited. With their Super Douluo cultivation, they could fly up to 3,000 meters in the air, which was already a height that most soul-guided devices could not reach.

Eight figures took off. Even if the soul-guided cannons could hit them, they couldn't break through their defenses. Without the assistance of high-altitude detection soul-guided devices, how easy would it be to lock onto a Super Douluo?

However, Elder Xuan and the others did not look relaxed at this moment. Only after witnessing the power of the Sun Moon Empire's soul tools on the battlefield did they realize how terrifying their opponents were. Elder Xuan was secretly glad that He Caitou and the others had accidentally destroyed an underground warehouse in Mingdu. Although it caused a lot of casualties among the civilians of the Sun Moon Empire, if that underground warehouse had not been destroyed, they might be facing more and stronger soul-guided shells now.

Even these Super Douluo had to avoid the onslaught of numerous soul-guided cannons. If it were the armies of the original three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent, how long could they hold out?

The high-altitude artillery fire didn't last very long. A few minutes later, the intense light rising from the ground gradually weakened. At the same time, the ground-to-air detection soul guide was activated, and large waves of invisible light began to scan the sky, searching for the whereabouts of Elder Xuan and the others.
