They will not allow anyone to cross this city wall.

Life in Sea Breeze City alternates between calm and tension.

The fleet from the Sun and Moon Continent seemed to have had its spine broken, retreating back to its own sea area and never approaching the coastline of Sea Breeze City again.

But Ling Feng knew they wouldn't give up.

They were just waiting—waiting for Xu Tianxing to recover, waiting for the Martial Soul Empire to relax its guard, waiting for a better opportunity.

The defenses of Sea Breeze City have been fully reinforced, the power of the Soul Guidance Cannons has nearly doubled compared to six months ago, and the soldiers are in high spirits, as if they are waiting for a storm that was destined to come.

That evening, Ling Feng stood on the city wall, looking at the distant sea, his gaze fixed on the horizon.

He wondered what the Sun and Moon Continent was waiting for.

Wait until Xu Tianxing recovers from his injuries?

The Sun Moon Continent is in complete chaos. Although Xu Shaoyang has temporarily brought the situation under control, the generals each have their own agendas.

Over the past six months, spies from the Martial Soul Empire have been sending back messages that the pro-war and pro-peace factions are arguing fiercely in the court of the Sun Moon Continent.

Some wanted to continue fighting, some wanted to seek peace, some wanted to seize power while Xu Tianxing was unconscious, and some wanted to put Xu Shaoyang in power.

It's chaotic, very chaotic.

Qian Renxue rushed over from Wuhun Capital and landed on the city wall.

She was dressed in white, her long golden hair fluttering in the evening breeze, a holy sword hanging at her waist, and nine spirit rings pulsating up and down. The ninth golden spirit ring shone like another sun in the glow of the setting sun.

Her aura was very strong, at the peak of level 99, just one step away from level 100.

She walked to Ling Feng's side and followed his gaze to the distant sea.

"What are you thinking about?"

Qianrenxue asked.

Ling Feng remained silent for a moment.

"Thinking about the Sun and Moon Continent."

Qian Renxue looked at him.

"Are they still embroiled in internal strife?"

Ling Feng nodded.

"Ok.

Xu Shaoyang couldn't control those generals.

Some wanted peace talks, some wanted to continue fighting, and some wanted to usurp the throne.

Qian Renxue thought for a moment.

"So what should we do?"

Ling Feng looked at her.

"Wait."

Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow.

"wait?"

Ling Feng nodded.

"Wait until they start making a mess of things themselves."

Wait until they can't hold on any longer.

Wait for them to come and sue for peace.

Qian Renxue remained silent for a moment.

Are you sure they'll come to sue for peace?

Ling Feng looked at her.

"uncertain.

But they will come.

Two weeks later, a ship from the Sun and Moon Continent, flying a white flag, appeared on the horizon.

When the news reached Sea Breeze City, Ling Feng was training new recruits in the training grounds.

He put down the dragon-patterned staff in his hand, looked at the soldier who came to deliver the message, and his face was expressionless.

"Let them in."

The envoys from the Sun and Moon Continent disembarked at the dock in Sea Breeze City. The group consisted of three people, the leader of whom was an elderly man with white hair and beard.

The old man was dressed in a simple gray robe, with a thin face and a scholarly air about him.

Two young servants followed behind him, carrying several brocade boxes.

The old man walked up to Ling Feng, bowed respectfully, and spoke with humility and deference.

“Sun Chengzong, the envoy of the Sun Moon Empire, has come to meet the Holy Son of the Martial Soul Empire on the orders of the Crown Prince.”

Ling Feng looked at him.

"what's up?"

Sun Chengzong straightened up.

"The Crown Prince wants to negotiate peace with the Martial Soul Empire."

The Sun and Moon Empire is willing to cede three islands and pay annual tribute in exchange for peace.

Ling Feng remained silent.

Jin Chen, standing behind him, couldn't help but laugh.

"Cease three islands? Pay tribute? That's not what you said when you attacked us."

Sun Chengzong didn't look at Jin Chen; his gaze remained fixed on Ling Feng.

"My son, war is not good for either side."

The Sun and Moon Empire is willing to concede, seeking only peace.

Ling Feng looked at him.

"Let Xu Shaoyang come and talk to us in person."

Sun Chengzong remained silent for a moment.

"The Crown Prince is unwell and should not travel far."

Ling Feng looked at him.

"Then let's wait until he's fully recovered before discussing it further."

Sun Chengzong remained silent for a long time, then clasped his hands and said, "Your subject takes his leave."

The ship left Sea Breeze City and disappeared on the horizon.

Jin Chen watched the ship sail away and grinned.

"Boss, do you think they might actually come to beg for peace?"

Ling Feng looked at him.

"will not."

Jin Chen's smile froze.

"why?"

Ling Feng looked at the sea in the distance.

"Because they are only here to test us."

Ling Feng is right.

Less than half a month after the envoys from the Sun and Moon Continent left, a massive fleet reappeared on the horizon.

This time, it's bigger, more numerous, and more orderly than it was six months ago.

The sails were painted with sun and moon patterns, which were particularly eye-catching in the morning light.

On the flagship's deck stood a blond youth, dressed in a golden dragon robe and wearing a crown. His face was handsome but haggard; it was Xu Shaoyang.

Beside him stood the Dharma Protector, still with that sinister look, leaning on a snake-headed cane.

Behind them was a densely packed army of Soul Masters, their ranks perfectly aligned and their killing intent palpable.

On the walls of Sea Breeze City, the sound of horns once again resounded through the sky.

Soldiers rushed up the city walls, soul-guided cannons were pushed onto the battlefield, and defensive runes were activated.

The three elders, Golden Crocodile Douluo, Thousand-Pound Douluo, and Demon-Slaying Douluo, stood on the city wall, their gazes sharp as lightning.

Ling Feng stood on the city wall, looking at the massive fleet in the distance, his gaze calm as still water.

Xu Shaoyang's voice came from the flagship and echoed across the sea.

"Qian Gu Ling Feng! I, the Crown Prince, will give you one last chance! Surrender! The Martial Soul Empire will merge into the Sun Moon Empire, and I, the Crown Prince, will spare your life!"

Ling Feng looked at him, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"No surrender."

Xu Shaoyang's face darkened.

"Then die."

With a wave of his hand, the fleet from the Sun and Moon Continent began to approach, and the soul-guided cannons opened fire simultaneously.

Hundreds of streaks of fire tore through the sky and hurtled toward the walls of Seawind City.

The Soul Guidance Cannons of the Spirit Empire also fired at the same time, spewing out dazzling flames from their muzzles. They collided with the cannonballs from the Sun Moon Continent in mid-air, exploding into clouds of fire.
