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

In fact, for the Sun Moon Empire today, because it has occupied a lot of territory, it is necessary to allocate strongmen and troops to protect these occupied territories. The cost of ruling a place is much higher than the cost of destroying a place.

As a result, the number of powerful individuals and troops that the Sun Moon Empire could commit to the war naturally decreased significantly, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the pressure increased dramatically.

Xu Tianyuan, the leader of the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Group, frowned and said, "Marshal, what Wang Yiheng said makes sense. This is indeed a problem. According to the information you just relayed from the Tower Master, one of Xuanzi's purposes in seizing power is to implement his will in the Allied Forces, to mobilize the Allied Forces, to command the strong, and to lay a net to besiege Elder Kong."

Although Master Kong is powerful, he is not invincible. Xuanzi is treacherous and cunning. If Master Kong falls into his trap, it will undoubtedly be a huge loss for us.

Why not expose Xuanzi's power grab now, causing internal strife within the Allied Forces and throwing them into disarray? Then, our spies within the Allied Forces can seize the opportunity to incite infighting, creating a perfect opening. Even if the enemy has laid a trap, this incident will cause them to crumble. Then, our army can launch a full-scale attack on the Allied Forces. What do you think?

Upon hearing this, the other generals also expressed their concerns and assessments of the current war situation, and indicated that they agreed with Xu Tianyuan's views.

This had nothing to do with the other side's prince status; it was purely because the opportunity to wage war created by Xuanzi's seizure of power was too good, making these experienced veterans want to take this opportunity to defeat the allied forces.

Orange shook her head: "No, we can't reveal Xuanzi's power grab now. If we want to create a bigger rift between the various factions within the coalition and cause them to suffer greater losses, we must expose this matter after defeating the coalition. As for the Xuanzi conspiracy you are worried about, it is not a big deal."

"Marshal! But right now, the experts from the Haotian Sect, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, some Shrek Academy graduates, and some reclusive experts are all gathered in Nebula City. If we don't use the Xuanzi power grab as a breakthrough, even if we can defeat the allied forces again, we will suffer heavy casualties!" Xu Tianyuan said with a look of anxiety, cupping his hands in greeting.

The current allied forces are much stronger than the allied forces that launched the counterattack on the Mingdou Mountains.

In any war, there will inevitably be casualties, but if the number of casualties can be reduced, it is naturally a good thing, and other generals also expressed their agreement.

Orange continued, "Don't worry, I will send the Body Sect experts and some Heavenly Soul Army to help us. At that time, our overall strength will also increase. With my command and our army's intelligence gathering capabilities, our casualties will not increase much compared to the last war."

"The Body Sect? The Heavenly Soul Army?" Wang Yiheng hesitated. "Marshal, can they be trusted?"

There was no other way. Previously, the Sun Moon Empire, the Body Sect, and the Heavenly Soul Army did not have a good relationship. He was worried that these people would betray the Sun Moon Army during the war, thus causing huge losses to the Sun Moon Army.

Orange nodded: "Of course he is trustworthy. Even if you don't trust me, you should trust Yuhao. Since he helped us take down the Heavenly Soul Empire without bloodshed and got the Body Sect Master and the Heavenly Soul Emperor to agree to let the Heavenly Soul Empire merge into the Sun and Moon Empire, then I can invite the Body Sect Master and the Heavenly Soul Emperor to Yuming City for talks to discuss getting Body Sect experts and some Heavenly Soul troops to help in the battle."

"After all, the Sun Moon Empire has already provided the Heavenly Soul Empire with a large number of soul tools free of charge, which has greatly improved the quality of life of the Heavenly Soul people. It has also sent many Sun Moon soul masters to spread some soul tool technology and gradually improve the level of soul masters in the Heavenly Soul Empire."

"The people of the Heavenly Soul cannot simply enjoy rights without bearing any obligations. Of course, I know that many people of the Heavenly Soul still resist the fact that they have been incorporated into the Sun and Moon Empire. This is understandable, after all, it takes time to educate and educate the people of the Heavenly Soul to fully accept the Sun and Moon Empire psychologically."

"If this meeting goes smoothly, I will ask the Heavenly Soul Emperor to write to His Majesty to downgrade the Heavenly Soul Empire to the Heavenly Soul Kingdom, and the Heavenly Soul Emperor to the Heavenly Soul King."

According to Ju Zi's opinion, Huo Yuhao's decision to allow the Heavenly Soul Empire to retain its royal family was quite correct, as it would benefit the Sun Moon Empire's rule over the Heavenly Soul Empire.

However, the Heavenly Soul Empire will eventually be completely integrated into the Sun Moon Empire, and the Heavenly Soul Royal Family will be abolished. Therefore, she plans to start slicing the sausage now. Based on the conversation between the Heavenly Soul Emperor and Huo Yuhao that she knows, she believes that it will not be difficult to persuade the Heavenly Soul Emperor to do this.

"Marshal's insight is brilliant!" the generals said, bowing respectfully.

.......

Empire of the Sun and Moon.

Mingdu.

Huo Yuhao and his group continued walking down the street, eventually entering a brightly lit, tall pavilion where a treasure appreciation event was being held, with noisy voices drifting out.

For Huo Yuhao now, his main purpose in coming here is not to admire the treasures, but to wander around at Jing Hongchen's invitation and relax a bit.

According to the other party, Soul Masters should have some time to rest and play so that their mental state will not suffer.

At this moment, the four of them strolled slowly, accompanied by maids, admiring the various treasures in the treasure appreciation event. Of course, the so-called treasures were only valuable to most soul masters. In Huo Yuhao's eyes, these treasures were obviously not of high value.

A moment later, Meng Hongchen stopped in front of a platform.

What was placed on the platform was not a soul bone or a soul tool, nor a pill, but a pile of scales. Each of these scales was about the size of a palm, and under the warm yellow light, they gleamed with a white light, and faintly, it seemed that a chill was coming from these scales.

Seeing that Meng Hongchen had stopped and was looking at the scales, the maid quickly said, "These are the scales of a sub-dragon with 50,000 years of cultivation. They can be used to forge soul tools. If you want to buy them, you will need 50,000 gold soul coins."

“Grandpa, I want this!” Meng Hongchen said, pointing to the pile of scales.

Chapter 650 The more the enemy opposes us, the more it proves that we are doing the right thing!

Jing Hongchen nodded and said somewhat helplessly, "Okay, Grandpa will buy it for you."

It's not that he can't afford the pile of scales.

In fact, 50,000 gold soul coins were nothing to him.

However, his main purpose in bringing Huo Yuhao, Xiao Hongchen, and Meng Hongchen out was neither to relieve his mood nor to purchase treasures.

Rather, it was to create opportunities for Meng Hongchen and Huo Yuhao to spend time together.

After all, he really hoped that Huo Yuhao could become his grandson-in-law, which would be good not only for the future of the Hongchen family, but also for Xiaomeng's future.

So, Xiaomeng has actually started picking out things now?

Sigh, it was because he was in such a hurry when he left. After all, it was not easy for Yuhao to come back, so he naturally wanted to seize the opportunity as soon as possible. Therefore, he didn't have time to communicate with Xiaoxiao and Xiaomeng about this matter before leaving, or to let them know in advance.

Thinking about this, he felt a little annoyed, but he still quickly chose to pay the money without hesitation.

With a smile, Meng Hongchen placed the scales into her storage soul tool.

The maid standing nearby was also very happy, and her steps became much lighter, because she would receive a commission for any treasures purchased by the guests she guided at the treasure appreciation event.

So she became even more diligent and hardworking in the subsequent guidance process.

The group continued walking, their footsteps echoing in the air.

Meng Hongchen walked in front, humming a song as she went, clearly in a good mood, but Jing Hongchen's mood was getting worse and worse.

He realized that he and Xiao Hongchen couldn't stay there any longer, so he immediately said, "Xiao Meng, I suddenly remembered that I need to take Xiao Xiao to see an old friend I haven't seen for many years, so we'll leave here first. Let Yuhao accompany you around!"

Upon hearing this, the others stopped in their tracks and all turned their gazes to Jing Hongchen.

Xiao Hongchen was somewhat taken aback: "Grandpa, I haven't bought anything at the Treasure Appreciation Fair yet!"

Jing Hongchen coughed in dissatisfaction and subtly gave Xiao Hongchen a wink.

The reason he didn't use telepathy was mainly because he knew that Huo Yuhao's mental strength was too powerful, and his own mental strength was simply no match for the other party's.

If Huo Yuhao were to communicate with Xiao Hongchen through telepathy, it would be tantamount to loudly plotting something in his mental perception.

Xiao Hongchen noticed Jing Hongchen's expression and was somewhat puzzled. He quickly realized what his grandfather wanted to do and immediately said, "Ah, right, Grandpa, let's hurry up and not delay seeing your old friend!"

Jing Hongchen felt somewhat helpless upon noticing Xiao Hongchen's poor acting skills.

He then looked at the maid and asked with a smile, "Before I go to see this old friend, I need to purchase some treasures as a gift for him. I've looked around here but haven't seen any suitable treasures. Why don't you guide us to look elsewhere?"

The maid cannot stay either; this person must be taken away as soon as possible!

"Yes, esteemed guest." The maid nodded in agreement.

Soon, Jing Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen, and the maid all left.

Meng Hongchen and Huo Yuhao stayed behind, looking at each other in bewilderment. In fact, Meng Hongchen had seen through Jing Hongchen's clumsy excuse and knew what the other party really wanted to do. Although she was very grateful for her grandfather's help, she felt a little embarrassed at the moment.

After all, if he could see it, the intelligent Huo Yuhao surely could too.

The atmosphere between the two gradually became quiet, until Huo Yuhao finally broke the silence: "Senior Sister Meng, shall we continue browsing the treasure fair?"

“Okay.” Meng Hongchen nodded, subconsciously slowing her pace. She glanced at Huo Yuhao from time to time. To be honest, as someone who appreciates good looks, she felt that Huo Yuhao was much more handsome now than when she first met him.

Adding to his achievements, character, and the help he has given her, her feelings for Huo Yuhao can now be summed up in two words—heart flutter.

........

the other side.

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Ning Tian looked at the bald researcher in front of him, frowned, and asked, "So, you mean that Huo Yuhao is not in the academy now, and even your dean doesn't know where he went?"

“That’s right.” The bald researcher nodded vigorously, somewhat helplessly. “So, if you want to see Huo Yuhao and the dean, you’ll have to wait here patiently.”

"Don't worry, I'll send someone to find them immediately and inform them that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has arrived at the academy to discuss important matters."

"However, I don't know how long this will take, so you will need to be patient."

Ning Tian was somewhat helpless. Among the group of Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School experts behind her, someone snorted coldly, clearly dissatisfied.

Ning Tian sighed, looked at the bald researcher, and said, "Alright, then please take us to the reception room to wait."

The bald researcher nodded and led Ning Tian and his group to the reception room inside the academy.

Then he found a few people and asked them to find the hall master and the tower master and inform them that Ning Tian and his group had arrived at the academy.

He himself chose to stay in the reception room, keeping these "guests" who had come from afar company.

.........

The Treasure Appreciation Center booth is hosting a lecture by scholars today.

The scholar invited by the organizers was still the same refined and approachable Mr. Chen Dachui.

From the organizer's perspective, Teacher Chen Dachui has a large following within the Sun Moon Empire, although it's unclear how many of these followers are genuinely devoted and how many are simply looking for fun.

However, one thing is certain: leveraging Mr. Chen Dachui's fame can attract more guests to the treasure appreciation event.

This is extremely important for the treasure appreciation event.

As Meng Hongchen and Huo Yuhao strolled around, they arrived at the central exhibition booth. Ahead of them was a dense crowd. Meng Hongchen led Huo Yuhao into the throng, and the two were jostled around. The noisy chatter echoed in their ears, which was enough to show how popular Teacher Chen Dachui was.

Seeing the two of them gradually grow further apart, as if they were about to be separated by the crowd, Meng Hongchen took a deep breath, turned around, grabbed Huo Yuhao's hand, and said in a seemingly casual manner, "Junior Brother Yuhao, there are just too many people. Hold my hand tightly, let's go to the front to watch Professor Chen Dachui's lecture."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao gripped the other's delicate and soft hand tightly without resisting, letting her lead him forward. Soon, the two arrived at the front of the crowd, but Meng Hongchen showed no intention of letting go.

On the central exhibition stand, two people sat: a pretty female host and a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar.

The lecture had been going on for a while, so naturally there was no opening.

The female host smiled and asked, "Teacher Chen Dachui, I just mentioned that the Star Luo Empire, the Douling Empire, and Shrek Academy are resisting the Sun Moon Army and accusing the Sun Moon Army of invading other countries' territories and being an evil army. What are your thoughts on this?"

Teacher Chen Dachui said firmly, "The more the enemy opposes us, the more it proves that we are doing the right thing!"

Chapter 651 Our Sun Moon Empire is thriving!

"After all, this means that what we did has angered the enemy, which is why they have criticized us so vehemently and even ridiculously labeled the Allied Forces as righteous. In reality, what we did was not only to fulfill the long-cherished wish of the Sun and Moon Ancestors to unify the Douluo Continent, but also for the benefit of the human race."

"You know, if humanity were to establish a unified empire, it would undoubtedly be more beneficial to the overall development of human civilization. But for the stubborn forces led by Shrek Academy, this is completely unacceptable."

"After all, once the Sun Moon Empire unifies the Douluo Continent, the interests of these die-hards will be harmed. That's why they oppose the Sun Moon Empire and try their best to prevent the Sun Moon Empire from unifying the Douluo Continent. Whether it's smearing the Sun Moon Empire or stopping the Allied Forces, it just proves their fear."

"However, I believe that their resistance will eventually be crushed by the Sun and Moon Army, and in the history books of later generations, the stubborn forces led by Shrek Academy will be criticized mercilessly!"

As he spoke, a glint of wisdom shone in Mr. Chen Dachui's eyes, as if he had seen through everything.

The female host looked at her with agreement and nodded slightly. The audience below the stage also applauded, and thunderous applause resounded. As time passed, the applause gradually subsided.

Then, the female host continued, "Okay, Mr. Chen Dachui, I have another question. As everyone knows, the Empire has won a great victory and is getting closer and closer to its goal of unifying the Douluo Continent."

But the ensuing problem is that the enemy's counterattacks will inevitably become increasingly fierce. How long do you think it will take us to unify the Douluo Continent? I believe there are quite a few people within the Empire who are concerned about this.”
