Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 369 Sun and Moon Prepare for War, Amidst the Whispers of War

"The Sun and Moon Empire is about to launch a war. The original plot has reached its worst point." Lin Yun leaned against Xue Di's chest, his slightly narrowed eyes filled with thought.

Looking at the other participating teams that Lin Yun detected with his mental power, who were being taken away by the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master Legion, Lin Yun stood up and stretched.

Xu Tianran's letter was quite sincere. There was not much threat in the letter. It was more of a negotiation and warning. Facing the Soul Palace, whose strength was unknown, Xu Tianran did not want to appear too arrogant, but he also did not want to lose face.

With a touch of emotional intelligence, this letter actually makes people feel quite cheerful.

"Let's go, tomorrow's no fun. Xue'er, you take them back to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Xiao Xiao, Qiu'er, and I will go back to the Star Dou Great Forest first." Lin Yun smiled and casually tore open a spatial rift.

"Internal strife among humans is none of our business. Staying in Mingdu is no longer of much use. Now we just need to sit back and watch the fight unfold. We don't need to interfere with any of the subsequent developments."

The two split into two groups: one headed towards the Star Dou Great Forest, while the other returned the few "tools" they had borrowed from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Of course, Lin Yun didn't just leave like that; he left Xu Tianran another note.

The gist of it is: Our Soul Hall is a reclusive force, we don't care about the situation on Douluo Continent, and we don't care who unifies the continent. As long as they don't provoke us or affect the interests of the Soul Hall, we have no interest in using the precious lives of our Soul Hall disciples to fight a completely unnecessary war.

After reading the letter, Xu Tianran breathed a huge sigh of relief. As a fellow dragon martial soul, he knew all too well how powerful the Golden Dragon was.

Despite being half-crippled, he possessed the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul and still reached the level of a Title Douluo before the age of forty. His combat power was extremely high among Soul Masters of the same level, and the Golden Dragon was even more powerful than his Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon.

If the Soul Hall's inherited martial soul is truly the Golden Dragon, Xu Tianran even suspects that there might be an old monster at the Limit Douluo level hiding within the Soul Hall.

This is also why he was unwilling to declare war on Lin Yun.

It's really not worth it...

Even if Xu Tianran wasn't actually that afraid of the Soul Palace, with the Sun Moon Empire as his backing, even a Limit Douluo wouldn't be able to easily shake the Sun Moon Empire's linked soul tool. Besides, at worst, he could just continue to cooperate with the Holy Spirit Cult.

The Holy Spirit Cult isn't without its limits; they would be quite willing to wage war against the Soul Palace and harvest a handful of Golden Dragon Soul Beast souls.

However, if it is not necessary, there is no need to make so many enemies for yourself.

It's good that the Soul Palace doesn't interfere.

That said, intercepting and imprisoning the participating teams was only the first step in the war. This action merely indicated that the Sun Moon Empire was ready to go to war, which was a dangerous signal released before the war.

After defeating all the participating teams, Xu Tianran also held a funeral for the old emperor, and then announced his ascension to the throne in a high-profile manner, officially becoming the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire from the regent of the Sun Moon Empire.

This process is still very necessary.

As the regent, he was ultimately not the emperor, and he had too many limitations. The regent was not the real emperor, and many organizations in the Sun Moon Empire only listened to the emperor and not the regent.

This includes several powerful protectors of the nation, such as the Beast King-level Soul Master Corps led by the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps, and various research institutions headed by the Mingde Hall. The Regent, frankly speaking, only has the power to handle matters, not the power to make decisions.

Therefore, ascending to the throne is an essential step in formally launching a war.

After ascending the throne, Xu Tianran began to consolidate power and began to gather funds and supplies from all over the country to prepare for the war that would soon follow. The Douluo Continent at that time could be best described as a place of extreme tension and uncertainty.

Excluding the already crumbling Douling Empire, both the Tianhun Empire and the Xingluo Empire were in complete panic.

The Heavenly Soul Emperor rushed to visit the Body Sect overnight. Poison Undying, who had just covered his disciples' return to the sect, clearly stated in his conversation with the Heavenly Soul Emperor that the Body Sect, as the guardian sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire, would definitely stand firmly on the side of the Heavenly Soul Empire and help them resist the invasion of the Sun Moon Empire.

Emperor Tianhun was slightly relieved and returned to the imperial city to prepare for war.

The situation was similar in the Star Luo Empire, but Xu Jiawei was in slightly better condition than the Heavenly Soul Emperor.

The news that Xu Jiujiu brought back not long ago really excited Xu Jiawei for a long time. From that day on, Xu Jiawei kept gathering all the funds that the Star Luo Empire could gather. For this purpose, he even confiscated the property of several nobles who did not do good deeds in the Star Luo Empire and brought back a large amount of treasure.

The predetermined 3 billion gold soul coins were more than enough.

Xu Jiawei is no longer thinking about consuming those ninety-nine level-eight fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells; he wants to acquire more high-level soul tools. He may not have any more fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, but he wants to greatly enhance his other soul tools!

If Xu Jiawei were to consume all the soul tools in Lin Yun's possession, he couldn't even imagine how straight he would stand.

Isn't this much more reliable than placing your hopes on so-called national protection sects?

Only the power you hold in your own hands is truly yours!

The only problem now is when can we make the deal with Lin Yun? Xu Jiawei just hopes that the time for this deal can come soon, and it would be best to complete the deal before the Sun Moon Empire goes to war.

All three empires are preparing for war, while Douling remains idle.

As for Lin Yun?

After splitting up with Xue Di, Lin Yun summoned Di Tian.

"Your Excellency, what are your orders?" Di Tian approached Lin Yun.

"Lord Di, I'm level 80 now, you know what I mean?" Lin Yun put his arm around Di Tian's shoulder and raised an eyebrow at him.

Di Tian's expression was solemn: "Understood, Your Majesty! So, do you intend for me to help you find a soul ring, or do you require me to sacrifice myself directly to you?"

"To be honest, the soul bones I produce are no worse than those of Aunt Ice, Uncle Fire, and Uncle Emerald!"

Well, Di Tian is now directly recommending himself.

"What are you thinking? How could I possibly ask you to sacrifice yourself?" Lin Yun felt that he could give Di Tian an 8.5 out of 10 for this, because he had a 1.5 out of 10.

"However, I really need your help this time with the spirit ring, because I plan to obtain it through hunting, which will require your and Xue Di's assistance!"

Recalling a character from the original novel who was all swagger when he first appeared, but then immediately knelt down upon seeing Tang Buddha, Lin Yun gave a cold smile.

The eighth spirit ring, I choose you!
