Chapter 344 The Seven Major Sects Re-select, Decisive Battle

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

The members of the seven major sects bowed to Gu Han, who was on the high platform, with their hands on their chests.

Gu Han slightly raised his hand, glancing down slightly.

"I hereby declare the election of the new seven major sects across the continent concluded."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Elephant Armor School, and the Holy Dragon School are the three new upper schools, with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School being the leader of the three upper schools."

"The Black Tiger Sect, Wind Sword Sect, Fire Leopard Sect, and Rock Antelope Sect are the four lower sects, with the Black Tiger Sect being the leader among them."

"Regardless of ranking, you are all indispensable to my Martial Soul Empire. I hope that you will become even stronger in the future and contribute to the development of my Martial Soul Empire."

Ning Fengzhi bowed slightly: "We will certainly live up to the expectations of the Martial Soul Empire."

Hu Yanzhen and the others echoed this sentiment, their voices booming: "We are willing to swear allegiance to the Martial Soul Empire until death!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's eyes flickered slightly. Why were they so in sync?

Is it

Ning Fengzhi slightly raised his gaze, looking at Gu Han who was staring at him because of his gaze. There was no emotion in the other's eyes. Normally, the other would at least respond with a polite smile, but it would never be like this.

He already had the answer in his heart.

He smiled bitterly to himself: "These repeated show of force show that the Empire's vigilance against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has not diminished."

Gu Han flashed onto the square and clasped his hands slightly in greeting.

"Esteemed sect leaders, this major event is nearing its end, but I would still like to invite you all to stay and help the empire complete its next great battle."

After speaking, he looked intently at the crowd.

Hu Yanzhen and the others clasped their fists, knelt on one knee, and declared loudly, "We are willing to charge into battle for the empire!"

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi knew he couldn't escape, so he knelt down on one knee, touched his chest, and bowed his head.

"I am willing to serve the Empire!"

Gu Han stepped forward, bent down and helped Ning Fengzhi up from the ground: "Sect Master Ning, I used to call you Big Brother, so you didn't need to perform such a grand ceremony for me. Even in public, you only need to bow."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Ning Fengzhi's eyes flickered, his head was lowered, and his voice was full of respect, not daring to overstep his bounds in the slightest.

Gu Han patted Ning Fengzhi on the shoulder, then said to the other six, "All sect leaders, please rise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Haha, with the help of the seven major sects, my Martial Soul Empire will surely be able to wipe out the evil soul master forces led by the Star Luo Empire in one fell swoop and save the people of the Star Luo Empire."

When Ning Fengzhi and the others followed Gu Han to the military camp outside the city, they found that the army had already assembled.

At first glance, the queues were incredibly neat, forming square formations, making it impossible to tell exactly how many people there were.

Ning Fengzhi thought to himself, "It seems that the Martial Soul Empire had already begun assembling its troops during the election of the seven major sects. No, such a large number of troops must have been prepared since the founding of the nation."

Standing on high ground, Gu Han and the others gazed at the countless imperial warriors, a sense of pride welling up within them.

Apart from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the experts and disciples of the other major sects were also forming separate square formations within the army below.

This further confirms that in these past few days, all the major powers, like themselves, have found Gu Han and been recruited by him onto the empire's warships.

Gu Han channeled his soul power, and his voice seemed to emanate from the heavens, echoing in everyone's ears.

"Soldiers, the Star Luo Empire, for its own selfish gain, has colluded with evil soul masters. They have allowed evil forces to erode the continent and fed evil spirits with the blood of innocent people. This is a contempt for and betrayal of the Angel God."

“They allow evil spirit masters to slaughter indiscriminately, including your relatives. If we let them develop, they will surely launch an evil invasion against the Spirit Empire. They covet the lives and blood of the innocent people of the Spirit Empire. We cannot sit idly by and wait for our doom.”

"Soldiers, what should we do in the face of the evil Star Luo Empire?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!"

The combined voices of everyone resounded like the roar of dragons and the howl of tigers, echoing across the heavens.

These people were not only the original Tian Dou army, but also refugees who fled from all over the continent, especially from Xing Luo. On their way to escape, some of their relatives were taken away by the imperial soldiers and never appeared again.

Now that they know the truth, how can they not be angry?

Gu Han summoned the Xuan Shuang Sword and pointed it diagonally at the sky.

"All troops, listen to my command! Charge forth with the angelic will to purify all things, tear apart the filthy pact between Xingluo and the evil soul masters, avenge our loved ones who have been harmed by the evil soul masters, and fight to protect the pure land of the Martial Soul Empire!"

"Victory is certain! We will not return to the capital until the evil is eradicated!!"

"I will not return to the court until the evil spirits are eradicated!"

"We will not return to the court until the evil spirits are eradicated!!"

"We will not return to the capital until the evil spirits are vanquished!!!"

The army set off, vast and mighty, stretching to the heavens and the earth.

The army that set out this time numbered 600,000, though it was said to be a million.

Meanwhile, an army of 200,000 men set off from Jincheng Pass under the leadership of Shi Dong, accompanied by two retainers, Qianjun and Jiangmo.

On the eastern side of the Star Dou Great Forest, at the only eastern border between Tian Dou and Xing Luo, a massive army also crossed the Star Dou Corridor and entered Xing Luo territory.

A million-strong army, divided into three routes, vowed to annihilate the Star Luo Empire in one fell swoop and unify the Douluo Continent.

Meanwhile, the Star Luo Empire was well-prepared, sending out a million-strong army northward to resist Gu Han's main force that was pressing in directly.

The two sides engaged in fierce battles in the Cataclysmic Mountains, the Disaster Mountains, the Star Luo Mountains, and the Gengxin Plain.

Meanwhile, Shi Dong's army marched south, reoccupied Xingluo City, and took control of the Tiger Might Mountains. In the south, Tiger Might City had suffered a devastating blow when the Spirit Hall provided disaster relief, resulting in the near-total annihilation of the local spirit masters. Before the army even arrived, the people had already opened the city gates and lined the streets outside the city to welcome them.

To the east, led by Golden Crocodile Douluo, a force of two hundred thousand men, first used cannons to bombard the city walls and gates of the Starry Kingdom, and then the army surged down.

After conquering Xingyao City, they headed south and arrived at Xingluo City, where they successfully captured it with the help of the local people.

The Shi Dong army and the Jin E army marched south with unstoppable momentum, encountering almost no major obstacles.

The two armies successfully captured all the cities in the eastern plains of the Star Luo Empire. Then, as planned, they met up in Holy King City, bypassed the main battlefield, and made a flanking maneuver from the rear to threaten New Star Luo City.

By the time the Star Luo Empire realized what was happening, its army had already crossed the Damos River and entered the Andong Plain, a flat plain with no natural defenses and no one to defend it.

The entire Xingluo court was thrown into turmoil, with dissidents emerging everywhere. The Holy Sect, seeing the situation was dire, fled far away into the ocean.

With the rear lost and supplies cut off at the front, morale plummeted, and they were all captured by the army led by Gu Han.

The army bypassed the Casas Mountains, invaded the Duchy of Yunluo, destroyed Xingluo's last frontline fortress, and then marched south, arriving outside the western gate of New Xingluo City.

Chapter 345 Unification of the Star Luo Continent

On the walls of Xinxingluo City, Dai Hao and other civil and military officials, along with experts from the imperial court, gathered together. Their eyes were fixed on the endless army stretching to the horizon outside the city. Instead of feeling any sense of pride, they were filled with dread.

Since this large army is not theirs, but has come to kill them, how could they not be terrified?

However, this time was different; not a single member of the Holy Church was present, having all fled a week before the army arrived.

There was no need for a siege; the army completely surrounded Xinxingluo City from all sides.

Gu Han channeled his soul power and shouted loudly, "Listen up, people of the city and all those with discernment! Dai Hao and other civil and military officials have been aiding and abetting evil, collaborating with evil soul masters to harm countless innocent lives. This time, we are entering the city only to capture the ringleaders; we will not harm a single hair on the heads of the people in the city. Keep your doors and windows tightly shut and do not respond to the bewitching influence of Dai Hao and his evil spirits!!"

The sound spread throughout the entire city of Xinxingluo. The panicked people calmed down and returned to their homes, closing their doors and windows tightly, but fear still lingered in their hearts.

"Dai Hao, you have no way out. Give up resistance and surrender to the city. You can still save your entire clan. If we attack later, your White Tiger clan will be completely wiped out from the continent!!"

"Your Majesty, what should we do?"

Zhu Tiancai looked at Dai Hao, who was no longer the arrogant and domineering man he used to be; his eyes were filled with struggle and hesitation.

"Dai Hao, I'm only giving you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to think things over. Once that time is up, it's time to attack the city!"

Gu Han shouted again, "Although attacking the city is easy, at this point, we can reduce the number of soldiers we have to sacrifice. Breaking the enemy's psychological defenses with words would be the best outcome."

However, he wouldn't give the other side too much time; once the time was up, the attack on the city would still happen.

Dai Hao closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, only a resolute look remained in them.

"His Majesty!"

The civil and military officials were shocked and knelt down, their eyes filled with grief.

Dai Hao waved his hand and stood on the city wall.

"Gu Han, today I believe you. I hope you can keep your promise, otherwise, I will haunt you even as a ghost!!"

After saying this, Dai Hao's nine spirit rings appeared one after another, and the White Tiger Martial Soul shone behind him. Then, all the spirit rings shattered, and even the Martial Soul broke apart. Finally, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he stiffly fell down, crashing to the ground below the city wall.

He destroyed his own martial spirit and severed all the meridians in his body.

"His Majesty!!"

Zhu Tiancai, Duke Youming, and the others were terrified. Having lost their leader, they collapsed onto the city wall.

"It's over, everything is over."

Duke Youming murmured to himself, "Who could have imagined that the once incomparably powerful Star Luo Empire would collapse in just a few years?"

Just as Dai Hao's body was about to fall to the ground and be smashed to pieces, a figure flashed in and grabbed him.

That person was none other than Gu Han. At the critical moment, Gu Han grabbed Dai Hao's body and injected life energy into him, saving his life.

Why?

Dai Hao was astonished, not understanding why Gu Han would save him.

Gu Han glanced at the other person indifferently: "Now that you're dead, how am I supposed to give an explanation to those you killed?"

Yes, Gu Han didn't save the other person out of kindness, but because the other person couldn't die right now.

The other side allowed evil spirit masters to wreak havoc on innocent people in the Star Luo territory, and the sheer number of them was staggering.

If he were to die so easily, the families of the people who died because of him would not be able to face the consequences.

Dai Hao smiled bitterly, having already understood Gu Han's intention. He made no attempt to struggle, for even with his shattered martial soul, he could not break free from the control of a Super Douluo.

"I may die, but I also hope that you can keep your promise and spare the White Tiger clan."

“After a thorough investigation, I can release those who are innocent, but I can also spare those who, like you, were involved. However, I cannot spare the common people.”

Although Gu Han said he would let the White Tiger Clan go, it depended on the situation. He wouldn't let them all go; those with sins on their hands would not be spared.
