In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 318 Tang San is making a defense.

"Yes, great-grandfather." Tang San nodded and followed Tang Chen to the Star Luo Empire.

He arrived the following afternoon, but did not enter the palace immediately. Instead, he chose to wait until the morning court session began the next day.

As the ministers were discussing state affairs, red and blue lights shone simultaneously, and Tang Chen and Tang San appeared.

"Assassins are protecting Your Majesty!" ministers cried out one after another, all of them on high alert, then their faces showed shock.

Beneath Tang Chen's and Tang San's feet, ten spirit rings pulsed rhythmically, their colors terrifying.

"May I ask who you two are?" The emperor of the Star Luo Empire forced himself to calm down and asked politely.

"Tang San, the Sea God." Tang San nodded slightly.

The ministers' expressions changed immediately. In their minds, Tang San was a fallen soul master.

But now, he has become a god!

"Tang Chen," Tang Chen said simply.

Tang Chen? The ministers' expressions changed again, but out of fear of the god and because they were so close, none of them dared to speak.

Then Tang San said calmly, "Your Majesty, I didn't want to talk about what happened back then. But now we have a formidable enemy at hand. The Spirit Hall has joined forces with the Heaven Dou Empire and sent troops to attack your country. They have the ambition to unify the continent."

"At this moment, however, I have to mention it."

The Spirit Hall has allied with the Heaven Dou Empire? Everyone from the Star Luo Empire present was greatly surprised.

"To eliminate internal troubles, and to remove the potential threats that my father and I were destined to be enemies of the Spirit Hall, including the subsequent annihilation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the fact that the Heaven Dou Empire has joined forces with the Spirit Hall to send troops today undoubtedly reveals the truth." Tang San continued, "That is, the Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Royal Family, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which has always supported the Heaven Dou Royal Family, have been secretly colluding for a long time."

"All the accusations against me are slander. Your country has simply been used as a pawn without your knowledge. The so-called evidence you have found is nothing more than Spirit Hall spies lurking in various places using my name to commit murder and eliminate threats. Of course, I do attack your country's spirit masters a few times, and I do not deny that."

"However, hmph, you so readily believed the enemy's words to slander me, shouldn't I be angry and retaliate?"

"Furthermore, the Sea God controls the ocean and is the embodiment of light and justice. If I were truly a fallen Soul Master, would the Sea God have chosen me and passed on his divine position to us? Mortals in the lower realm are blinded, but could the Sea God, as a god, also be blinded?"

Everyone looked at each other in silence, but they had to admit that Tang San's words were very convincing.

"Your Majesty Tang San, our country has indeed offended you in many ways in the past," the emperor, seated in the main seat, said politely.

The fact that the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire have joined forces to send troops is no joke. We'll find out if it's true once they arrive.

Of course, he didn't want to wait until that day to start preparing.

"I don't want to waste time on nonsense," Tang Chen continued. "Xiao San and I have come here to assist your country in repelling the enemy, and we can even help your country launch a counterattack and unify the continent. The condition is that I don't want to let any of the people who participated in the plot to destroy my Clear Sky Sect—the Spirit Hall, the Beast Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the Heaven Dou Royal Family—go free. The Empire must assist us in the encirclement and annihilation afterward."

"Of course, I will certainly give you both justice," the Emperor immediately declared.

With the assistance of two gods, this is indeed an opportunity for the empire.

Tang Chen nodded slightly. "The Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall are currently assembling a large army and heading towards the border. According to the current progress, they are expected to be fully assembled by early April. I believe your spies abroad will soon send back news, so Your Majesty should make preparations as soon as possible."

With less than half a month to go, the Emperor's expression was solemn, but his tone was polite: "I thank Your Majesty for informing me."

"Once the two armies are locked in a stalemate, my great-grandfather and I will help deal with the enemy's top experts, or even gods," Tang San continued. "According to reliable sources, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue have both become gods. However, they are nothing to fear for my great-grandfather and me."

Their great-grandfather inherited the title of Asura God, one of the five great god-kings of the divine realm. In a two-on-two battle, the advantage is definitely on their side.

The Spirit Hall also has two gods? The expressions of all the ministers, including the emperor, changed instantly.

"I advise you not to harbor any illusions," Tang San said calmly. "Bibi Dong inherited the evil god Rakshasa, who controls the evil thoughts of the world."

"War brings death and pain, and pain breeds resentment, which is the best nourishment for her growth."

"Therefore, this battle is unavoidable."

"Even if they send someone to persuade you to surrender, I advise you not to believe them. Whether you are defeated or surrender, believe me, Bibi Dong will not let you go. To consolidate her authority, she will definitely launch a massive purge."

"Your Majesty, please make preparations as soon as possible!" A minister immediately responded, genuinely afraid.

Bibi Dong is one issue, but if the empire is defeated, the power he currently wields will vanish.

"That's right!" all the ministers echoed, as they didn't want to start all over again.

The emperor did not reply immediately, but looked at Tang Chen and Tang San and said politely, "You two should go and rest first. After I have made the arrangements, I will send someone to invite you two to a gathering." As he spoke, he turned to look at Crown Prince Davis, who understood and strode forward.

"Please, esteemed guests," he said very politely.

"Then we shall take our leave." Tang Chen cupped his hands slightly, turned and walked out of the hall.

Tang San did not bow, but followed directly.

"Zhu Qing!" After a while, Zhu Zhuyun, who was now the Crown Princess, strode into Zhu Zhuqing's residence.

He quickly approached the beautiful and voluptuous Zhu Zhuqing, relayed the court matters that Davis had told him, and then said, "Zhuqing, Father will be hosting a banquet for them later. You should come with me. Tang Chen and Tang San have both become gods now, and you were Tang San's former teammate."

"I imagine they would be willing to help you cure your hidden ailment."

"And then you'll bestow me upon Tang San?" Zhu Zhuqing said calmly, "The Haotian Sect has long been destroyed, and Tang San is the only young male in the sect. Xiao Wu's fate is also unknown. Father Emperor would probably be happy to use the excuse of continuing the family line to betroth me."

"Zhu Qing, that is a god. It might not be a bad ending for you," Zhu Zhuyun sighed.

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. "Elder sister, you should know very well that I will not fall in love with any man now. In addition, I hope you can tell His Majesty that Tang San is narrow-minded and petty, and should not be trusted easily. He must be careful."

"As for attending the banquet, let's skip it."

"My hidden illness doesn't need treatment, nor do I want to."

"Zhuqing, you, sigh." Zhu Zhuyun sighed, knowing her sister's temper, and did not want to persuade her further. Instead, she said, "I will speak to her for you, but the final decision of Father is not something I can decide. You'd better be prepared."

"Then tell His Majesty that Qing would rather die than marry Tang San," Zhu Zhuqing said firmly.

Looking back, she really hated Tang San.

Zhu Zhuyun fell silent, then sighed casually, "I will pass on the message to Father."

After a brief exchange, I said goodbye and left.

"That girl Zhuqing, sigh," the emperor sighed after hearing the message, and had no choice but to give up.

Tang San's words should not be trusted lightly; how could he not know this? However, he was even more unwilling to let his ancestors' legacy be destroyed in his hands and to hand over the empire to others.

This battle is inevitable! He needs the help of Tang Chen and Tang San.

Lost in thought, he sent someone to invite Tang Chen and Tang San to the banquet.

The result was a rejection, citing the pre-battle challenge as the reason. Left with no other option, they had to give up.

Two days later, the spies dispatched to the Heavenly Dou Empire returned with news after a long journey: the Heavenly Dou Empire was indeed assembling a large army.

As a result, the Star Luo Empire's army quickly assembled.
