Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect

Xuanzi immediately shook his head and rejected the idea: "Wait! Princess Jiujiu, we cannot talk about retreating. Given the current dire situation, if we talk about retreating, the Sun and Moon Army on the other side of the Mingdou Mountains will surely shake our morale and cause a rout. At that time, even more people will die."

"In your opinion?"

"Although it is essentially a retreat, let's put it another way: a victorious advance! Let's deceive your soldiers and other officers first, and stabilize morale as much as possible!"

If they encounter great difficulties later, they should say that they should hold on a little longer and that reinforcements will arrive, in order to inspire the soldiers' fighting spirit.

You don't need to feel guilty. All the suggestions I made were based on the interests of the Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire. As long as you do as I say, you can reduce casualties! Xuanzi's voice was firm and resolute.

After pondering for a long time, she felt that what the other party said made sense, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Alright! Elder Xuan, we will do as you say!"

After a while.

The righteous alliance split into three groups and advanced victoriously towards Yuming City.

At this moment, the Sun and Moon Army on the other side of the Mingdou Mountains had also arrived, joining forces with the two Beast King-level Soul Master Corps to besiege the Justice Alliance.

After some time, under the protection of Xuanzi and others, Xu Jiujiu successfully returned to Yuming City.

Among the righteous alliance, the Star Luo army suffered 250,000 casualties, 50,000 surrendered, and 100,000 followed Xu Jiujiu back to Yuming City, among whom many were wounded.

The Heavenly Soul reinforcements numbered 100,000 before the battle. Of these, 20,000 died in battle, 20,000 retreated to defend Ming City, and 60,000 surrendered. After all, they were reinforcements from afar, and as long as they did not reach their homeland, their fighting spirit was naturally not as strong as that of the Star Luo army.

Xu Jiujiu himself immediately sent people to Xingluo City to inform Xu Jiawei of the current dire situation and request support.

Of course, she had already prepared to abandon a large number of border cities to reduce troop casualties. Currently, the morale of the allied forces is low and there are many wounded. Even if they defend the cities, they will be overwhelmed by the Sun and Moon Army with overwhelming force.

As for Xuanzi and Xianlin'er, they did not return to the academy immediately, but stayed behind to protect Xu Jiujiu.

The Shrek reinforcements they brought earlier were mainly composed of members of the Shrek Inspection Team. They have also dispatched personnel to Shrek Academy to relay information about the situation on the front lines.

Inside the council chamber.

Chapter 618 I'm Here to End the Heavenly Soul Empire

Poison Undying sat on a brown wooden chair, leaning back. He looked around at the elders and vice sect leader and said calmly, "Some time ago, the Sun Moon Empire invaded the Star Luo Empire. His Majesty sent the Heavenly Soul Reinforcements to help the Star Luo Empire. We should also make some preparations in advance in light of the current situation."

Therefore, I am convening this internal meeting of the Body Sect today. Everyone is welcome to speak freely about their thoughts. I will inform His Majesty of the meeting's outcome later, as this will affect the entire Heavenly Soul Empire's situation.

As the sect leader of the Body Sect, he was naturally qualified to say these words.

After all, the Body Sect currently has a total of eleven titled Douluo-level or higher powerhouses.

Of course, titled Douluo make up the vast majority, while Super Douluo are a minority, but this is enough to stir up the situation in the entire Heavenly Soul Empire.

This is not only due to the number of Title Douluo and above powerhouses, but also because the second awakening of the Body Sect has an extremely strong effect!

It can be said that if the Body Sect does not agree to certain things, even if the Heavenly Soul Emperor tries his best to promote them, they will be difficult to continue. Therefore, the Heavenly Soul Emperor naturally attaches great importance to the Body Sect's opinion.

Vice Sect Master Jin Peng, the Golden Body Douluo, said, "Sect Master, why don't we launch a surprise attack on Mingdu and force the Sun Moon Army to return to its aid, thus relieving the pressure on the Star Luo Empire?"

Regardless of the circumstances, even though the Douluo Three Kingdoms may have some conflicts, their interests are aligned when it comes to resisting the Sun Moon Empire.

As a sect dedicated to protecting the nation, we should stand with the Heavenly Soul Empire. As the saying goes, "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold." If the Star Luo Empire is occupied by the Sun Moon Empire, our pressure will increase significantly.

As a level 96 Super Douluo, his status within the Body Sect is second only to the Sect Master, Du Busi, so his words naturally carry great weight.

The other elders also began to discuss and offer their opinions and suggestions.

A tall elder said, “Vice Sect Master, you are mistaken. Although the Douluo Three Kingdoms and the Sun Moon Empire are enemies, the Sun Moon army has not yet reached the territory of the Heavenly Soul. His Majesty’s willingness to send Heavenly Soul reinforcements to help the Star Luo Empire is already more than enough.”

A surprise attack on Mingdu is not a good idea. After all, there's a high probability that Kong Deming, a level ten Soul Master, is currently in Mingdu. He once captured Xuanzi, who was burning with the flame of life, and is extremely powerful and troublesome to deal with. If a surprise attack is launched, the main body sect will inevitably suffer significant losses.

An elder with wheat-colored skin and a full beard said, "Yes, there is no need to launch a surprise attack on Mingdu. This may have a negative impact on the Body Sect. Thanks to the Soul Spirit Method provided by Senior Xiao, our Body Sect is now thriving. We should preserve our strength as much as possible and cultivate talents."

In my opinion, we should also recall that Heavenly Soul reinforcement force. At worst, we can negotiate peace with the Sun Moon Empire and sign some non-aggression pacts, letting them deal with the Star Luo Empire. Anyway, if the situation in Star Luo becomes too critical, the Shrek Academy experts will inevitably step in to protect the Star Luo Empire; we just need to sit back and watch the show.”

Jin Peng glanced at the bearded elder and said, "Elder Zhao, before you joined the Body Sect, your parents died at the hands of the Star Luo Army, so you hate the Star Luo Empire so much. I can understand what you just said."

However, given the ambitions of the Sun Moon Empire, even if it were to make peace with the Heavenly Soul Empire and sign some non-aggression pacts, they could still tear up the agreements after defeating the Star Luo Empire and launch a ruthless attack on the Heavenly Soul Empire!

In the short term, this may indeed benefit the Body Sect, but in the long term, the negative impact on the Body Sect will be immeasurable.

Elder Zhao, with a full beard, snorted coldly and remained silent.

The other elders continued to offer their opinions. Although they did not agree with Vice Sect Master Jin Peng's plan to launch a surprise attack on Mingdu, they were generally willing to provide some assistance to the Star Luo Empire.

The vast majority of elders still agree with the principle that "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."

Poison Immortal withdrew his gaze from the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Alright, since that's the case, then we'll..."

Suddenly, a series of pattering footsteps came from outside, his words came to an abrupt halt, and everyone in the council chamber turned their gazes toward the door.

A person dressed in a black robe and wearing a mask is slowly walking towards them.

Behind the masked man in black robes was a slowly healing, pitch-black spatial rift.

This person was Huo Yuhao. He originally wanted Elder Yi to send him to the Body Sect as soon as possible, since Elder Yi's strength had recovered considerably and he could quickly reach the Body Sect using spatial teleportation.

However, Electrolux refused Huo Yuhao, saying that there was still plenty of time and there was no rush. He also said that if there was not enough time, Huo Yuhao could let him know and he would speed up the process of crossing space. Thus, it turned into Electrolux imparting knowledge to Huo Yuhao while helping him cross space. The so-called knowledge was naturally spatial magic.

Old Master Yi was a man of great learning. As a child of light, he was able to combine light and the dead by inheriting the legacy of that ancient necromancer. Naturally, his application of spatial magic was also superb.

Although Huo Yuhao was very talented, it was impossible for him to learn something immediately. He spent some time on the way and mastered a modified version of spatial magic. The reason it was modified was because Electrolux had modified these spatial magic spells in advance to make them require soul power and mental power to facilitate Huo Yuhao's learning.

"Senior Xiao!" Du Busi stood up from his chair and walked over quickly. The others in the council hall did the same. After all, the other party's Soul Spirit Technique was too important for the future of the Body Sect.

"Are you here to help the inner disciples of the Body Sect obtain soul spirits?" Poison Undying asked with some doubt, because the other party had not been to the Body Sect for quite some time, and now there were some people within the Body Sect who needed new soul spirits.

Huo Yuhao shook his head and said bluntly, "I'm here to end the Heavenly Soul Empire."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed astonishment.

Du Bu Si even doubted that he had misheard, after all, in his mind, the other party was a very friendly person, how could he say such a thing?

He said incredulously, "Senior Xiao, you must be joking, right?"

"Are you joking?" Huo Yuhao sighed. "I can tell you with absolute certainty that what I just said was not a lie."

"Did our Body Sect do something wrong that angered you?" Poison Undying was still somewhat puzzled.

Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice: "You have indeed done some things wrong. For example, there is not a single devout person among you. However, it is not enough to anger me."

I have come to end the Heavenly Soul Empire in order to guide you onto a bright path. This is a good thing for the Body Sect and for all the people of the Heavenly Soul.

Chapter 619 The Undying Poison's Submission

Jin Peng, the deputy sect leader standing to the side, couldn't help but say, "Senior Xiao, if you were to end the Heavenly Soul Empire, how could that be considered a good thing?"

"Once the Heavenly Soul Empire is gone, what will become of the Heavenly Soul people? Moreover, the threat of the Sun and Moon Empire is imminent. Without the banner of the Heavenly Soul Empire, how can we rally the Heavenly Soul people to jointly resist the Sun and Moon Empire?"

Actually, you don't need to fight against the Sun and Moon Empire at all. Join the glorious evolution... no, join the glorious Sun and Moon Empire!

Huo Yuhao looked at the Golden Roc Douluo and said, "The Heavenly Soul Empire can be merged into the Sun Moon Empire, so there will be no need to fight against the Sun Moon Empire. I promise here that all Heavenly Soul people can obtain Sun Moon citizenship and enjoy the same treatment as the original Sun Moon people."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked shocked.

They had previously been preparing to deal with the Sun and Moon Empire, intending to protect the country from the evil Sun and Moon Empire and prevent the Heavenly Soul People from becoming slaves of a conquered nation.

When this Senior Xiao arrived, he actually said some words of persuasion to surrender.

Could it be that this Senior Xiao has been bribed by the Sun Moon Empire?

But what could the Sun and Moon Empire offer to bribe a reincarnated deity?

A look of surprise and uncertainty flashed in Du Bu Si's eyes. He rummaged through the memories in his mind, and soon, he had some guesses in his mind. Could it be that many people in the Sun Moon Empire prayed to Senior Xiao? To help him return to the realm of gods?

After all, when Senior Xiao helped the Body Sect obtain the soul, his only request was for the people of the Body Sect to pray for the other party and their teacher, to help them regain their divine status. Just now, Senior Xiao brought up the matter again.

It seems that the Sun Moon Empire should be quite satisfactory to Senior Xiao regarding the matter of prayer, while the Body Sect has disappointed him somewhat.

As the sect leader, he knew very well that going against a reincarnated deity like Senior Xiao was tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock, an extremely unwise act.

If the powerful figures of the Sun and Moon Empire were to attack, as the sect leader of the national protection sect, he could lead the powerful figures in his sect to fight to the death with the Sun and Moon Empire's experts, and do his best to prevent the Heavenly Soul Empire from falling into the hands of the Sun and Moon Empire.

But since Senior Xiao had said so, he gave up the idea of ​​resistance. He still wanted the Body Sect to continue and did not want the Body Sect, or even the Body Martial Soul lineage, to be completely destroyed. Even though the other party had not yet returned to the divine position, who knew what other trump cards the other party still had?

Moreover, the opponent's teacher is a god named Elex, who is even powerful enough to resurrect his own brother's soul, so he has even less confidence in fighting against him.

Historically, forces that opposed the gods have generally met with bad ends.

The once-powerful Spirit Hall is a case in point. Even after becoming the Spirit Empire and possessing two gods, it was ultimately destroyed in the long river of history because of its conflict with Tang San.

Du Bu Si took a deep breath and said, "Senior Xiao, as the sect master of the Body Sect, I can agree to your request. However, the matter of the Heavenly Soul Empire merging into the Sun Moon Empire is not something that our Body Sect can decide completely. We also need to take His Majesty's thoughts into account."

"Senior Xiao, why don't you wait here a little longer? I'll send someone to fetch His Majesty so we can discuss this matter together."

As a sect that protects the nation, the opinions of the Body Sect are naturally extremely important to Emperor Tianhun, but they are not absolute. After all, the Body Sect is not Emperor Tianhun and cannot fully represent his will.

The nominal supreme ruler of this empire is still the Heavenly Soul Emperor.

Of course, he believed that as long as he spent some time explaining the pros and cons to Emperor Tianhun, he would be able to persuade him.

After all, based on his understanding of the Heavenly Soul Emperor, he knew that the other party was a smart man who would make the right choice in the face of the current situation.

Huo Yuhao shook his head, rejecting Du Busi's suggestion: "No need. Let's head to Tiandou City now and discuss this matter with Emperor Tianhun."

He felt that waiting for the Heavenly Soul Emperor to arrive here would be too slow. The Body Sect's headquarters were located in the Heavenly Soul Empire's interior, in a place of natural barriers, while the Heavenly Soul Emperor resided in the Heavenly Soul Palace. This round trip would take a considerable amount of time.

If he were to lead this group to the Heavenly Soul Palace himself, he could save a lot of time. After all, with Elder Yi there, he could naturally use spatial magic to teleport and quickly reach the Heavenly Soul Palace.

"Alright." Poison Undying agreed, and naturally, the others couldn't oppose their sect leader at this time, so they all agreed as well.

Soon, Electrolux made a move in the shadows, and a silver magic circle appeared under Huo Yuhao's feet. With a hum, the magic circle rapidly expanded and then spread to the feet of the others.

The intricate and overlapping patterns inside the magic array immediately evoked a sense of ancient mystery and solemnity.

Tiny, pitch-black spatial rifts appeared around the magic array. Du Busi looked up and down at the magic array and the surrounding spatial rifts, his face showing surprise.

"Everyone, do not wander around. Stay within the area of ​​the magic array!" Huo Yuhao reminded them.

As soon as the words were spoken, silver light surged and rolled like waves, enveloping everyone. A huge, pitch-black spatial rift appeared, and the silver light poured into it. The next moment, everyone's figures disappeared without a trace.

.......

The sky was clear and blue over Tiandou City.

Heavenly Soul Palace.
