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

Willow shoots on the moon.

Inside the command tent, Xu Jiujiu sat in a chair, looking at the group led by Xuanzi opposite him, and asked in a puzzled tone, "Gentlemen, it's so late, why have you suddenly come here? Is there something important you need to discuss with me?"

Xuanzi nodded, took two steps forward, stopped, and said in a deep voice, "Princess Jiujiu, we do have important matters to discuss with you. Therefore, please dismiss your attendants to prevent the important matters to be discussed from being leaked and causing unnecessary trouble."

Although the other party was the marshal of the allied forces, Xuanzi still preferred to call her Princess Jiujiu.

Looking at Xuanzi's serious face, and trusting that everyone was in the same boat, he nodded without hesitation and said, "Alright, then everyone else, leave the command tent."

"Yes, Marshal!" The guards bowed and saluted, then quickly left the command tent. With Xuanzi and his group of experts here, they were not worried about the Marshal's safety; on the contrary, they felt that a heavy burden had been temporarily lifted.

After all, protecting Xu Jiujiu is no easy task; they must remain vigilant at all times to prevent enemies from attacking and killing her.

Even though the guards were all quite capable, they still felt that the pressure of this job was too great.

“There is still one person who hasn’t left.” Xuanzi looked at the air behind Xu Jiujiu and said slowly.

As a level 98 Super Douluo, his personal mental strength was actually very strong, so he could naturally sense that the air behind Xu Jiujiu was unusual.

If nothing unexpected happens, there should be another Soul Master of considerable strength hiding in the air behind the opponent.

After a moment of stunned silence, he explained, "Grandma Manyi is one of the worshippers of the Star Luo Empire. I have known her for many years, and her mission has always been to protect my personal safety. I swear on the honor of the Star Luo royal family that Grandma Manyi is a trustworthy person."

Xuanzi's expression turned serious: "Princess Jiujiu, what we are about to discuss concerns the future of the Allied Forces. If this information is leaked, it will cause chaos within the Allied Forces. Are you sure you want Manyi to stay here indefinitely?"

After a long pause, he nodded vigorously: "Of course, what important matter could there be that even Grandma Manyi can't hear? I believe Grandma Manyi will keep our conversation a secret."

She was raised by her grandmother Manyi from a young age, so she naturally trusted Manyi immensely.

Xuanzi was silent for a moment, then said, "Manyi, right? Why don't you come out and meet me?"

The next moment, the air behind Xu Jiujiu rippled, outlining an old woman in a red dress. She had a pair of azure eyes, a full head of white hair, and nine spirit rings on her body, exuding an aura unique to a Title Douluo.

“Elder Xuan.” Manyi looked at Xuanzi and said helplessly, “No matter what important matters you want to discuss with Jiujiu, you can completely ignore me. After all, I am extremely loyal to the Star Luo Empire and would never leak the contents of your conversation.”

Seeing that the other party was a Title Douluo, Xuanzi breathed a sigh of relief. He casually set up a soundproof soul guide shield to cover the command tent, and then looked at Manyi and said, "That's good."

As he spoke, he took a few more steps forward and came to stand in front of Xu Jiujiu. He said, word by word, "Princess Jiujiu, I hope you can hand over command of the allied forces to me. The powerful figures behind me have already chosen to support me in taking command. Now I need your consent."

"Don't worry, I won't harm you. You remain the nominal commander-in-chief of the coalition, but the actual command is with me. I will make a series of strategic deployments, and you will be responsible for issuing orders to the others within the righteous coalition."

Xuanzi said these words for a very simple reason.

First, because the threat from the Sun Moon Empire is like a sword hanging over his head, he does not want to cause bloodshed within the Allied Forces at present.

Secondly, he also needed to have Xu Jiujiu perform on stage to prevent Xian Lin'er from immediately informing Elder Mu after learning that he had seized power.

Although he knew that Elder Mu's health was not good and that he also had to protect Shrek Academy, he should not have come to Nebula City so easily.

But he dared not gamble on the possibility that Elder Mu would come to Nebula City to stop him.

It should be noted that several years ago, when Elder Mu was in poor health, he even secretly left Shrek Academy and went to the Sun Moon Empire. In the Sun Moon Empire, he saw some super-large soul tools that required multiple people to operate and were enough to threaten his life.

If Elder Mu hadn't revealed this himself, everyone would still be in the dark.

Therefore, he had to make sure he controlled everything from the shadows. This also had the advantage of allowing him to use his identity as Xu Jiujiu to communicate with Xianlin'er and thus command the Shrek people in the war.

This way, it can ensure to the greatest extent possible that even with actual command, one can still mobilize all forces within the coalition.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, then an expression of disbelief appeared on his face: "Elder Xuan, are you joking? Wouldn't that make me the 'Commander's Seal'?"

The so-called "commander's seal" is nothing more than the official seal of the Allied Forces Marshal. Just as the emperor's jade seal is a symbol of imperial power, the commander's seal is a symbol of military power within the Allied Forces. Its apparent function is simply to stamp.

“I’m not joking. In fact, your analogy is quite accurate. I just hope you can focus on being a ‘commander-in-chief.’ You can leave everything else to me,” Xuanzi said in a deep voice.

"This is utterly absurd!" Manyi couldn't hold back any longer. Her eyes widened in anger as she said, word by word, "Xuanzi, Jiu Jiu is the Marshal of the Allied Forces. What you did today is a premeditated rebellion!"

She stepped past Xuanzi and looked at the group of powerful figures behind him, saying, "Gentlemen, with a formidable enemy at hand, we should unite against them. Do you intend to support Xuanzi in launching a rebellion?"

Elder Tang Feng stepped out of the crowd and said, "We only want to win the war against the Sun Moon Empire. Judging from Xu Jiujiu's performance in the last war, she is obviously not suitable to continue to have command. In comparison, Xuanzi has some advantages that Xu Jiujiu does not have, and it seems that he has a higher chance of leading us to victory."

Clearly, these words were in support of Xuanzi, and other powerful figures also expressed their agreement with Elder Tang Feng's remarks.

Man Yi's face was extremely pale: "You..."

"Alright, Grandma Manyi, stop talking." Xu Jiujiu interrupted Manyi. She knew that the situation was hopeless. If she didn't agree to Xuanzi's request, she would probably face even bigger trouble.

Grandma Manyi was only a Title Douluo, and she was no match for the group of Title Douluos and several Super Douluos present. Moreover, if they wanted to fight against the Sun Moon Empire, they would need to rely on these powerful individuals.

Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation and for my own safety, I have no choice but to back down for now.

She sighed, "Elder Xuan, I agree to your request."

Chapter 646 Don't ask what the sea god can do for you, ask what you can do for the sea god.

In the misty realm of the gods, there stands a magnificent temple of the sea god.

Unlike the Sea God Temple on Douluo Star, this Sea God Temple in the God Realm was built by the old Sea God himself and was eventually inherited by the second Sea God, Tang San.

Inside the hall, Tang San sat on a tall, ancient throne, a smile on his face, clearly in a good mood.

During this period, those Asura God Examiners kept "defeating" evil soul masters, making a name for themselves, which resulted in them being able to collect more faith power.

This is undoubtedly a good omen for him.

Moreover, there is some good news.

That is, the Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy suffered heavy casualties on the battlefield, generating a large number of bloodlusts. For him, who possessed the Asura God position, this war was very rewarding.

Now, Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy have suffered defeats in the war.

In Tang San's opinion, this was actually a good thing.

After all, this also means that these people are very likely to fail.

When these people are all in dire straits, it will be the perfect opportunity for his divine sense to appear, and in the spotlight, defeat the Sun Moon Empire and save the Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy from their dire straits.

In this way, many people will naturally admire him, and he can then reap more faith power.

Of course, back when he still possessed the central authority of the God Realm, he didn't actually plan to act in full view of everyone. Instead, he intended to create a relatively private environment, where he would launch a powerful attack on the core figures of the Sun Moon Empire, forcing them to issue a retreat order, and then remain silent and unknown.

After all, taking action in full view of everyone might bring fame, but it is indeed an act of interfering in the lower realms. The madman God of Destruction will inevitably hold a grudge against him at the God Realm Committee, and in the end, it will be a losing proposition.

However, things are different now, because the God of Destruction has lost many things.

Naturally, he was very unwilling to accept this and prepared to seize the opportunity to harvest a large amount of faith power in order to improve his strength.

If he were strong enough, he could easily defeat the God of Destruction.

He planned to use this "savior" act to amass a large amount of faith power when the war was nearing its end, and then use it for cultivation to enhance his strength. No matter how powerful the God of Destruction was, could he possibly confiscate the faith power he had acquired?

However, once he did such a thing, given the God of Destruction's nature, he would inevitably punish himself even more severely. If the gains from doing so were not so great, he would not have taken this risk.

Of course, Tang San was very confident that the other party would not kill him, after all, he was one of the five great god kings of the god realm, and he was too important to the god realm.

But the God of Destruction is evil by nature and has always disliked men like himself who have a heart for justice. Who knows what even harsher punishment the other party might impose?

He had already decided that he absolutely could not easily step into the fray before the time was right, otherwise he might be targeted by the God of Destruction, causing problems with the plan or even its failure.

At that moment, he heard a cacophony of prayers around him.

"Lord Sea God, I am a Sea Soul Master who believes in you. My child is seriously ill, and no one else can cure him. I beg you to perform a miracle and save my child."

"Lord Sea God, I am too poor to afford a soul bone. Please grant me a miracle and bestow upon me wealth!"

"Lord Sea God, I..."

Hearing the noise, he frowned and unhesitatingly used his divine power to shield himself.

For deities, hearing the prayers of believers is an extremely normal thing.

However, the problem is that deities cannot always respond to the prayers of believers.

On the one hand, it is due to the limitations imposed by the rules of the divine realm; on the other hand, it is because the number of believers is simply too great for the gods to respond to each and every prayer.

Therefore, the gods mostly respond to those extremely devout believers in secret, without any tacit understanding.

After all, these believers are extremely loyal and provide a great deal of faith power. They can even inspire other beings to believe in them, so naturally they should be taken care of.

Of course, in Tang San's opinion, those believers who had just made requests were not firm in their faith and had a problematic attitude.

In Tang San's mind, all his followers should uphold the excellent attitude of "Don't ask what the Sea God can do for you, ask what you can do for the Sea God".

Being a follower of the sea god like myself should be an unparalleled honor, so why are you asking for my help? You're simply out of line!

Of course, for Tang San, if the believer is extremely devout and can bring him considerable benefits, then he would naturally not mind lending a hand.

For example, the Sea God Clan is entirely composed of believers who are extremely devout. Successive clan leaders have inherited the title of Sea God Douluo to help stabilize the faith in the Sea Soul Beasts.

In order to make the Poseidon family work better for him and to demonstrate the vastness of divine grace, he even personally crafted a helmet artifact for the Poseidon family.

Currently, the Sea God family only has the right to use the helmet artifact for 24 hours a day. The helmet artifact still belongs to him, and he can cancel the Sea God family's right to use it at any time.

However, the prayers of those believers reminded him of something.

He thought to himself, "Let's gather the power of faith from the Sea God's position in advance and see if the Sea God Douluo has been neglecting to strengthen the Sea God's faith recently."

With this in mind, Tang San began to collect the power of faith from the Sea God's position.

A moment later, his face turned ashen, like a demon.

"I can understand that the total amount of faith power has decreased, since collecting it in advance would lead to this consequence. However, I can sense that the sources of faith power have decreased significantly, which means that the total number of believers in the sea god has decreased significantly."

Could it be that another deity has come to seize the faith? Or has a large number of sea spirit beasts been killed? The Sea God Douluo is utterly useless; he can't even manage to strengthen the Sea God's faith!"

His anger surged, and he immediately prepared to hold the Sea God Douluo accountable.

.........

Douluo Star, Sea God Temple.

After a busy day, the Sea God Douluo looked at the tall Sea God statue in the hall, silently closed his eyes, and enjoyed a rare moment of tranquility.

He was pondering where he would go after he died.

After all, he is already very old, and even as a Limit Douluo, he probably won't live much longer.

All that's needed is for him to pass away, and the new Sea God Douluo will take over as the patriarch of the Sea God family and continue to serve the great Sea God.

Suddenly, a thunderous voice rang in his ears, interrupting his thoughts.

"Sea God Douluo, my number of followers has decreased significantly, and the total amount of faith power I have collected has also dropped sharply. I need an explanation."

Upon hearing the divine voice, one should be overjoyed, but the content of the voice made the Sea God Douluo's heart leap into his throat, and he immediately showed a look of shock.
