The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

After Ye Guyi's interruption, the atmosphere among the three became much more relaxed. After explaining some things to Ning Xingxu, Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi left the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and headed towards Shrek Academy.

Chapter 463 Arrival at the Front Lines, Clash Between Ye Guyi and Xu Jiujiu

When Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi returned to Shrek Academy, it was nearly two hours later. The majestic outline of Shrek City could be seen from high above.

With Shrek Academy at its helm, Shrek City was undoubtedly the safest place on the Douluo Continent. Even now, with the continent's situation unstable, Shrek City's prosperity remained undiminished and completely unaffected.

Xu Zihuang directly used the void ability of his Golden Eye Martial Soul True Body to bring Ye Guyi to Seagod Island.

A massive golden light silently appeared, and the two stepped out of the void hand in hand. Ye Guyi, who always maintained a noble and aloof demeanor in front of outsiders, would always unconsciously display a faint smile on her beautiful face when she was alone with Xu Zihuang.

The number of inner court disciples at Shrek Academy has remained below one hundred for most of the year. These inner court disciples are frequently away on training missions or carrying out inspector duties, which often leaves Seagod Island feeling deserted and quiet.

The warm winter sun shone on the clear surface of Poseidon Lake, creating soft, shimmering waves. Beibei and Tangya sat nestled together on the lakeside, their reflections in the water drawing ever closer.

Noticing that Bei Bei was being a bit too forward, Tang Ya blushed slightly and glared at Bei Bei. However, she hadn't been too resistant to Bei Bei's persistent pleading.

In any case, we should give Beibei some incentive.

Just then, Tang Ya saw Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi appear, and she quickly pushed Bei Bei away.

"Senior Sister Xiaoya, Senior Brother Bei," Xu Zihuang greeted the two with a smile.

"It seems we've disturbed you."

Ye Guyi merely nodded slightly in acknowledgment. She was relatively cold to everyone except Xu Zihuang, especially men. Unless it was someone like Ning Tian who truly earned her approval.

Tang Ya pouted shyly.

"Tianhuang, you've picked up bad habits from Beibei now, you've even started teasing me."

"Xiaoya, what are you saying? What do you mean Tianhuang has learned bad things from me?" Beibei stood up right after him, her face full of black lines and a look of resentment. In some matters, Yu Tianhuang was far more experienced than him; he should be the one learning from Yu Tianhuang.

It was as if two soul-guided cannons were placed in front of them at the same time. He was still figuring it out, while Yu Tianhuang had already fired countless shots and even accurately hit the target.

Beibei was incredibly envious.

Xu Zihuang naturally knew some of Bei Bei's little thoughts, and chuckled knowingly, "Senior Sister Xiaoya, Senior Brother Bei, we still have things to discuss with Elder Xuan, so we won't stay any longer to bother you."

After saying that, he and Ye Guyi released their soul power and soared into the air, flying towards the Sea God Pavilion in the center of Sea God Island.

Watching the two figures disappear from sight, Tang Ya was surprised to find that Ye Guyi and Yu Tianhuang had been holding hands with their fingers intertwined. As 'siblings,' such intimate behavior was understandable, but with a woman's intuition, she had a strange feeling.

At this moment, Beibei, still unwilling to give up, came over again. However, after being interrupted by Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi, the previous atmosphere was no longer there.

"Beibei, you've changed. What are you thinking about all day now?!"

Tang Ya blushed and gave a cold snort before quickly leaving the area.

She wasn't blaming Beibei; she was just embarrassed after being caught and didn't know how to face Beibei for a moment.

"Sigh—" Bei Bei sighed helplessly and silently followed behind Tang Ya. He was disappointed, but he would respect Tang Ya's decision.

But the thought that they were already twenty-one years old made him feel a pang of sadness. At twenty-one, his intimate behavior with Tang Ya was still only at the most superficial level; no one understood pure love better than him.

Elder Xuan was already waiting in the open space in front of the Sea God Pavilion. When he saw Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi, he raised his hand, indicating that they should go into the Sea God Pavilion first.

The three of them quickly arrived at the long table in the conference hall on the first floor of the Sea God Pavilion and took their seats.

Elder Xuan sat in the main seat, his brows furrowed, and said, “Tianhuang, your previous assessment was correct. The Sun Moon Empire’s main target is indeed the Heavenly Soul Empire. I personally went to the border between the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Sun Moon Empire some time ago to investigate. The intensity of the war there should be even greater than that of the Mingdou Mountains on the northwestern border of the Star Luo Empire. However, with that old poison master personally leading the Body Sect’s experts to defend against the enemy, the situation there is relatively stable. The Heavenly Soul Empire’s newly formed archer legion has also played a significant role. The arrows they use that are connected to the fixed-mount soul-guided cannons should be the Thunderfire Arrows you designed, right?”

"A soul tool that can be used by ordinary people without the need for soul power activation," Elder Xuan remarked sincerely.

"This is a problem that even the Sun Moon Empire has not been able to overcome."

“Elder Xuan, the Thunder Rocket isn’t as advanced as you think. It just happens to utilize the properties of a rare metal alloy.” Xu Zihuang said frankly, “I sent the Thunder Rocket design blueprints to the Heavenly Soul Empire because I was aware that the Sun Moon Empire might take action. The Thunder Rocket’s ability to help the Heavenly Soul Empire now can be considered as playing its due role.”

“However, the Heavenly Soul Empire is much weaker than the Star Luo Empire. The Heavenly Soul Empire has the support of the Body Sect's experts, but the Sun Moon Empire also has powerful evil soul masters from the Holy Spirit Cult. Moreover, the Sun Moon Empire's reserves of level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons are definitely not limited to the three that broke through the Mingdou Mountains. Once they use level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons to clear a path at all costs, the Heavenly Soul Empire may not be able to stop them.” Xu Zihuang then expressed his concerns.

Elder Xuan said in a deep voice, "This is also something I'm quite worried about. You've returned to the academy, so you must have already made the decision to support the Star Luo Empire, right?"

“That’s right.” Xu Zihuang nodded solemnly.

"If the Star Luo Empire can make a breakthrough in the Mingdou Mountains, the pressure on the Heavenly Soul Empire will naturally be greatly reduced."

"That's good. Compared to the fierce battleground in the western border of the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Mingdou Mountains in the northwestern border of the Star Luo Empire are relatively safer. Moreover, you only need to use the ability of your Golden Eye Martial Soul to scout out the situation in the Mingdou Mountains, without having to go directly to the front lines," Elder Xuan said with deep agreement.

"The academy's high-end combat forces cannot be used for the time being. Under the current circumstances, the academy cannot be biased towards either the Heavenly Soul Empire or the Star Luo Empire, otherwise it will be criticized. This time, Tianhuang, you and Guyi will go. The academy will issue a document instructing you to go directly to see the Marshal of the Star Luo Empire's Northwest Army Group, Duke Baihu, and cooperate directly with the Star Luo Empire in its operations."

Master Xuan made this decision after careful consideration.

Yu Tianhuang's Golden Eye Martial Soul possesses unique abilities, granting him exceptional survivability on the battlefield. Even in the event of unforeseen circumstances, he can at least retreat with composure.

Moreover, as a level 98 Super Douluo, he could sense Ye Guyi's current soul power cultivation. Clearly, she had already obtained her eighth soul ring and advanced to the Soul Douluo realm.

With the power of the Holy Angel Martial Soul and the amplification from the Soul Core, their overall strength, even if not as great as Yu Tianhuang, would certainly not be much inferior. Furthermore, the two are close siblings, so they can look after each other perfectly.

Ye Guyi smiled slightly.

"Elder Xuan, this was our plan when Tianhuang and I returned to the academy."

A slight smile appeared on Elder Xuan's face.

"You two little ones have had a good opportunity this time. I don't care if you're confident in your abilities, but you must remember that your own safety is the most important thing."

"Don't worry, Elder Xuan, I will keep an eye on Tianhuang and won't let him do anything reckless." Ye Guyi glanced meaningfully at Xu Zihuang beside her.

Xu Zihuang knew perfectly well that Ye Guyi was still brooding over Xu Jiujiu's letter. This trip was unlikely to be peaceful.

However, he never had any romantic feelings for Xu Jiujiu, so he didn't care what Ye Guyi did. In fact, this suited him perfectly; he also disliked getting close to a calculating woman like Xu Jiujiu.

"Elder Xuan, there's no time to lose. Let's prepare and set off now." Xu Zihuang bowed respectfully to Elder Xuan.

Elder Xuan chuckled and waved his hand.

"Go."

Elder Xuan's ease of mind stemmed from another reason: Xu Jiujiu had deliberately concealed the existence of the Death God Tower and the Light of Death. Had he known, he certainly wouldn't have been so readily agreeable.

Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi didn't need to make any special preparations. After taking the documents issued by Shrek Academy, they set off immediately.

With the outbreak of war, the northwest of the Star Luo Empire was placed under a state of high alert. To avoid trouble, Xu Zihuang had the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm activate its simulated soul skill to conceal their presence.

During their flight, Ye Guyi hesitated for a moment, then thoughtfully asked Xu Zihuang, "Zihuang, have you considered that after you helped the Star Luo Empire reclaim the Mingdou Mountains, they might launch a counterattack against the southern border of the Sun Moon Empire?"

"Sister Lingyi, you underestimate the power and resources of the Sun Moon Empire." Xu Zihuang shook her head with a light laugh, naturally aware of Ye Guyi's thoughts.

"The Star Luo Empire doesn't have that capability. If we don't regain control of the Mingdou Mountains, both the Star Luo and Tianhun kingdoms will definitely be in a passive position after this. Moreover, our main target this time is that Death God Douluo, Ye Xishui."

At this point, a deep killing intent filled the depths of Xu Zihuang's eyes.

Although he doesn't consider himself a match for Ye Xishui, a Limit Douluo-level evil soul master, he is confident that he can take advantage of this opportunity to make her pay a heavy price.

His tragic childhood was inextricably linked to this Death God Douluo. Ye Xishui was also one of his main targets for revenge.

Ye Xishui is a born bad person. Because her own life is unsatisfactory, she feels that the whole world is unfair to her and takes her anger out on innocent people. This crazy woman has the blood of countless ordinary people on her hands, and she can never be cleansed.

Even though I've killed and set fires, slaughtering countless civilians, am I a good girl? Only a brainless simp like Long Xiaoyao would think that way.

Ye Guyi took a deep breath, her full chest rising and falling slightly, and took Xu Zihuang's hand.

"Zihuang, how confident are you?"

"According to my plan, all the Title Douluos from the Star Luo Empire will participate in this operation. We will help the Star Luo Empire regain control of the Ming Dou Mountain Range, and they will have to pay some price. Let them be used as bait to lure Ye Xishui into making a move, and then I will use the Void ability of my Golden Eye Martial Soul True Body to redirect the Death God Tower's attack back." Xu Zihuang's expression turned extremely cold.

"The Death God's Light unleashed by the Death God Tower at full power has surpassed the full-force attack of a Limit Douluo. Presumably, Ye Xishui herself would be in a sorry state if she were to directly withstand a beam of Death God's Light."

"Zihuang, I trust your decision, but you have to let me go with you." Ye Guyi immediately smiled, her smile carrying a hint of doting affection.

Xu Zihuang smiled nonchalantly.

"it is good."

Seeing this, Ye Guyi was completely relieved. Xu Zihuang's willingness to let her go with him was enough to say something.

The conversation between the two afterwards became much more relaxed. They didn't seem to be heading to the front lines; they looked more like they were on a trip.

At noon, Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi arrived at Yuming City, a major military city on the northwestern border of the Star Luo Empire.

The steep Mingdou Mountains extend into many branches, and Yuming City is built on the highest branch of the Mingdou Mountains on the Xingluo Empire side, forming a second line of defense against the invasion of the Sun Moon Empire together with six other cities on the northwestern frontier.

Yuming City sits at an altitude of two thousand meters, earning it the title of the highest city on the continent. Yet, it is only a little over two hundred kilometers away from the front lines.

The clear sky was cloudless, and sunlight poured down, enveloping the entire city of Yuming. Perched atop a branch mountain peak, Yuming enjoys abundant sunshine year-round and unobstructed views. Not long ago, it was even temporarily used as the military headquarters by Duke Baihu.

As Xu Zihuang passed through Yuming City, he thought of Tuoba Yu, with whom he had a brief encounter. Tuoba Yu's family, the Holy Dragon Clan, was located within Yuming City.

The current patriarch of the Holy Dragon Family also serves in the Northwest Army Group of Duke White Tiger, and is a powerful expert at the Title Douluo level.

Xu Zihuang had met Dai Hao briefly during the rescue operation. It was after seeing the white-armored Earth Dragon Title Douluo in the First Soul Master Legion of the Northwest Army Group that he specifically sought out this information.

Xu Zihuang led Ye Guyi to within thirty miles of the Star Luo Empire's Northwest Army's encampment before dispelling the simulated soul skill. He had ample time; there was no need to intrude without notifying anyone, lest it cause misunderstanding.

Before long, a group of figures quickly surrounded them. There were ten Soul Masters in total, which was the size of a squad in the Soul Master Legion.

The squad leader, who was at the head of the squad, had five spirit rings gleaming on his body, while the other nine members all had three rings. This was a Spirit Venerable squad led by a Spirit King, and their overall combat strength was already at the level of five hundred ordinary soldiers.

The Soul King squad leader was about forty years old and had a calm demeanor. However, when he saw Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi floating in the air without using a flying soul tool, he was secretly shocked.

Standing in mid-air is a symbol of powerhouses at the Soul Saint level or above. Moreover, the two of them both looked to be only around twenty years old. How could he not be surprised by their youth?

"Who are you two? This is a military stronghold. Please show us your identification." The Soul King squad leader didn't dare to be negligent, but he also didn't forget his duty.

Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi did not answer the Soul King squad leader's question, but instead looked up into the distance.

Several more figures swiftly approached, but these people possessed far more formidable auras. Leading them was none other than Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire, with Nebula Douluo and another Title Douluo guarding her side, and the rest of her guards were at least Soul Saint level experts.

After a long while, a blush appeared on her pretty face, and she said with great joy.

"Tianhuang, I never expected that you would actually grant my request to support our Star Luo Empire. I will always remember this kindness."

"Your Highness is too kind." Xu Zihuang landed gracefully with a gentle smile.

“Our Shrek Academy is also part of the original Douluo Continent. When the Star Luo Empire is in trouble, it is only right that we lend a helping hand. Moreover, Her Highness the Princess specifically asked for my help, so I should feel honored. If I were to refuse, it would be too ungrateful.”

Xu Jiujiu's expression changed slightly. How could he not hear the distance in Yu Tianhuang's tone, and vaguely feel that his thoughts had been seen through?

Upon closer examination, she even felt that Yu Tianhuang's words were somewhat sarcastic.

However, this princess was a woman of great experience, and she quickly regained her composure, looking at Xu Zihuang with a resentful expression.

"Tianhuang, didn't we agree that you can just call me Jiujiu in private?"

Before Xu Zihuang could respond, Ye Guyi chuckled softly. Whether he couldn't help himself or did it on purpose remained unknown.

Xu Jiujiu's expression instantly froze as he stared at Ye Guyi, creating an extremely subtle atmosphere.
