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

They can play the role of loyal generals protecting you, while I can lead a group of reclusive experts to launch a 'rebellion' and successfully seize power.

Once news of my rebellion leaks out, it will be tantamount to letting the outside world know about the internal strife within the Allied Forces. When the dust settles and the Allied Forces have suffered heavy losses on the surface and desperately need internal stability, if I were the marshal of the Sun and Moon Army, I would absolutely not let go of such a golden opportunity. I would certainly choose to launch an attack on the turbulent Allied Forces. This is my strategy of luring the enemy deep into our territory!

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise appeared in Xu Jiujiu's eyes. She fell into thought and felt that Xuanzi's plan to lure the enemy might actually be feasible, and it might really be able to lure the Sun and Moon Army into the trap.

But the next problem immediately followed: if they could not defeat the enemy, it would be more like inviting a wolf into the house than luring them in.

"Elder Xuan, are you really confident in defeating Kong Deming? He is a level 10 Soul Master and a level 98 Super Douluo." Xu Jiujiu was still somewhat worried. After all, Kong Deming's strength was too great. Even Elder Xuan in front of him was no match for Kong Deming.

Xuanzi turned around, looked at Xu Jiujiu, and said decisively, "Of course I am confident that I can defeat Kong Deming. Marshal Sun and Moon would never have imagined that this was actually my plan. My plan to lure the enemy deep into our territory cannot fail."

Once the Sun and Moon Army launches its offensive, under my command, enough men will surround Kong Deming. Although this will cause significant losses to the allied forces, these men are sacrificing themselves for the greater good, which is undoubtedly a glorious thing. At that time, Kong Deming will surely be in dire straits, and I will definitely be able to kill this villain!

With Kong Deming dead, the Sun and Moon Army has lost its strongest warrior; we can then deal with the rest one by one.

"But the battlefield situation is ever-changing, and the Sun and Moon Army is incredibly powerful. Elder Xuan, can you really guarantee that the plan to besiege Kong Deming will be successfully implemented?" Xu Jiujiu continued to ask.

“Princess Jiu Jiu, you don’t need to worry about this.” Xuan Zi smiled. “The Sun and Moon Army is indeed powerful. We are inferior to the Sun and Moon Army in terms of soul tools. This is an undeniable fact, and it will indeed lead to unpredictable changes in the battlefield situation.”

However, the Allied Forces have the advantage over the Sun and Moon Army because of my unparalleled wisdom and strategy. I will allow you to issue various orders based on the battlefield situation, thus adapting to changing circumstances. In short, the advantage lies with us!

........

Yuming City.

Temporary command tent.

Ju Zi looked at Du Busi and smiled, "Sect Leader Du, we will not forget your support for the Sun and Moon Army. In fact, I have always felt that the people of the Body Sect are an extremely suitable group for using soul tools because of the special nature of their own Body Martial Soul."

The Sun Moon Empire will provide every member of the Body Sect with a set of soul tools suitable for your cultivation level to enhance your combat power.

Since she sent people to the Heavenly Soul Empire to invite the Body Sect Master, Poison Undying, and the Heavenly Soul Emperor, the two have accepted the invitation and arrived.

She discussed cooperation with the two, successfully getting the Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Army to join the Sun and Moon Army in battle.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Soul Emperor also agreed to write to Xu Tianran, requesting that the Heavenly Soul Empire be downgraded to a kingdom, and that he himself be downgraded to the Heavenly Soul King.

Upon hearing this, Poison Undying's face lit up with joy, and he immediately replied, "Marshal Orange, then I'll thank you for your help here."

In fact, a long time ago, he had always held a discriminatory attitude towards soul tools, thinking that they were external objects and unreliable, and that one's own cultivation was the most important.

However, after witnessing a large number of powerful soul tools, his old ideas naturally changed. Now he has realized that his previous thoughts were wildly wrong.

If members of the Body Sect could use the Sun and Moon Soul Tools, they could not only enhance their combat power, but also greatly improve their survival rate on the battlefield.

"Poison Sect Master, since you are willing to help the Sun and Moon Army, I should naturally do something in return. It wouldn't be right to offer no help at all," Orange said with a smile.

She then looked at the Heavenly Soul Emperor beside her: "Heavenly Soul Emperor, we will also provide soul tools to the Heavenly Soul army that comes to our aid."

In order to fight this war that swept across the Douluo Continent, the Sun Moon Empire had actually prepared a large number of soul tools in advance, enough to last for twenty years without running out.

Moreover, thanks to the existence of the storage soul tool, the rest of the soul tools can be placed in it and easily transported to other places. The total number of soul tools carried by the Sun Moon Army is naturally extremely large.

Emperor Tianhun nodded with a smile.

Suddenly, an anxious female voice rang out outside the command tent: "Marshal, I have an urgent report to make!"

Orange was a little surprised and replied, "What is it? Come in and tell me."

"Yes." Soon, a female scout dressed in red armor walked in.

She looked at Ju Zi, cupped her hands and said, "Reporting to the Marshal, there has been a change of events within the Allied Forces. Xuan Zi has led a group of people in a rebellion, attempting to overthrow Xu Jiu Jiu and seize command of the Allied Forces."

Ju Zi frowned slightly, lost in thought. According to the information she had received, Xuan Zi had clearly seized command. Was he putting on a show for her now?

Poison Undying, standing to the side, was completely stunned.

Chapter 660 Orange's Plan

He had known Xuanzi for a long time, but because of what Xuanzi had done, he had a bad impression of her.

However, even he did not expect that Xuanzi would launch a rebellion within the allied forces for the sake of command, which undoubtedly gave him a small shock.

Emperor Tianhun turned to look at Poison Undying and couldn't help but say, "Sect Master Poison, I remember that you have known Xuanzi for many years and even fought against him during the last competition. You should have some understanding of Xuanzi. Could you analyze for me the real reason why Xuanzi launched a rebellion within the Allied Forces?"

Even now, he still finds it hard to believe the information he just heard.

Logically speaking, Xuanzi, as a member of Shrek Academy, should not have chosen to launch a rebellion simply for such a ridiculous reason as seizing command.

After all, even if the other side successfully seizes command, will the coalition forces listen to him?

Moreover, the subsequent impact of such an event is immeasurable, and it will undoubtedly cast a shadow over the relationship between the Douling Empire, the Xingluo Empire, and Shrek Academy.

It is undoubtedly a losing proposition.

"Your Majesty." Poison Undying's tone was tinged with doubt. He said in a deep voice, "Even I can't understand the real reason why Xuanzi launched the rebellion. Seizing power sounds too far-fetched. Given his status, he shouldn't have done something that would damage Shrek Academy's image."

Suspicion immediately filled their minds.

At this moment, Orange waved her hand, signaling the scout to leave: "Investigate again and report back!"

The scout bowed respectfully, then immediately turned and left.

Some time later, another scout entered the tent, looking anxious, and reported the intelligence to the three people inside: "Reporting to the Marshal, Xuanzi has successfully seized power after holding the enemy hostage for a long time. Some allied generals have been captured, and many others have died in battle. Currently, the allied forces are in chaos and in turmoil!"

In fact, the Sun Moon Empire's intelligence network within the Allied Forces is quite powerful.

So this was indeed information obtained by Sun and Moon spies within the Allied Forces.

However, compared to the Sun and Moon Scouts, Ju Zi still trusts Huo Yuhao more.

"I understand, you may leave. The guards outside, in my name, summon the other high-ranking officers to a meeting," Orange instructed.

"Yes, Marshal!" The guards standing outside the tent immediately responded, and with the sound of a flying soul tool activating, the guards left one after another.

Orange's gaze fell on Poison Undying and Heavenly Soul Emperor.

Seeing the puzzled looks on their faces, she explained, "In fact, Xuanzi did launch a rebellion and, through long-term coercion, successfully seized actual command. In fact, he has secretly taken control of the allied forces."

However, that happened some time ago. The intelligence we've received regarding Xuanzi's rebellion is a mixture of truth and falsehood; it's likely a trap deliberately set by Xuanzi.

Upon hearing this, Poison Undying and Emperor Heavenly Soul exchanged bewildered glances.

However, in the end, the two accepted Orange's explanation. After all, as the marshal of the Sun and Moon Army, Orange's words were highly credible.

However, doubts still lingered in their minds.

Emperor Tianhun asked, "Marshal Ju, why do you think Xuanzi would do such a thing? After seizing command, does he really think he can lead the allied forces to victory?"

Ju Zi nodded and said, "In fact, according to our intelligence analysis, that's exactly what Xuan Zi is thinking. He even wants to seize command and kill Kong Lao, even at the cost of heavy losses to the Allied Forces, in order to secure victory for the Allied Forces."

"This..." Poison Immortal felt that Xuanzi was being far too foolish. In his opinion, commanding a large army should be left to professionals.

How could someone like Xuanzi, who lacks experience and skills in leading troops into battle, be allowed to do such a thing?

He had known Xuanzi for many years and knew that the other party was indeed quite confident in some things, but he did not expect that the other party would still be so confident in matters concerning the lives and deaths of so many people and the future fate of various forces.

Emperor Tianhun was deeply grateful that he had made a wise choice to merge the Tianhun Empire into the Sun and Moon Empire. This prevented the Tianhun soldiers from being further affected by Xuanzi's schemes and suffering heavy losses due to Xuanzi's self-righteous "own people".

A series of hurried footsteps sounded outside the tent, followed by a group of generals clad in armor entering.

"Marshal!" The generals bowed and saluted, their eyes glancing at Poison Undying and Emperor Tianhun to the side. In fact, although the arrival of Poison Undying and Emperor Tianhun was a secret to most people, it was no secret to these high-ranking generals.

"Yes, you've arrived." Orange nodded, and then briefly recounted the series of intelligence she had just received to the generals.

Wang Yiheng, the leader of the Evil Monarch Soul Master Corps, suggested, "Marshal, why don't we turn the tables on them and deliberately take the bait?"

“No.” Ju Zi shook her head. “Xuan Zi has already laid a trap and is now inflated with confidence. Although this is indeed a good opportunity for us to turn the tables, in order to reduce casualties and expand our victory, we should not move our troops immediately, but rather delay for a few days.”

On the one hand, it was to undermine Xuanzi's confidence. After all, in order to prevent our spies from realizing that this was a trap, Xuanzi would definitely put on an extremely realistic show, and most of the allied soldiers would not know Xuanzi's purpose.

As time goes by, the opposition within the coalition will inevitably intensify. I want to see how he will suppress the opposition within the coalition without revealing the truth!

On the other hand, the main forces of the Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Army have not yet arrived here. We still need to wait patiently for a while. Once they join the Sun and Moon Army and receive their soul tools, they will undoubtedly enhance the overall strength of the army, thus ensuring that this battle is not just a small victory, nor a medium victory, but a great victory!

Her words were firm and resounding, and the generals looked on with admiration, saying in unison, "Yes, Marshal."

.........

Five days later.

Nebula City, in the commander's tent.

Xuanzi stared at the map with a grim expression. To this day, he had not received any news that the Sun and Moon Army was attacking Nebula City.

Logically speaking, once the Sun and Moon Army received the news, given their marching speed, they should have quickly arrived near Nebula City and launched an attack on the allied forces, whose "conflict had already begun."

Could it be that my plan has gone wrong?

No, that's impossible!

With his extraordinary wisdom, how could his own strategy possibly go wrong!

Those damned Sun and Moon people will surely fall for my scheme!

Xuanzi's mind raced, and he imagined the reason why the Sun and Moon Army had not yet launched an attack: "Perhaps the marshal of the Sun and Moon Army is too cautious and wants to test the waters a little longer, observe the current situation, and see if it is a trap. Therefore, we must be patient, otherwise all our previous efforts will be in vain."

Chapter 661 Kong Deming, you're inherently evil, you've finally taken the bait!

At this moment, a worried female voice sounded from behind Xuanzi: "Elder Xuan, now most of the people in the allied forces believe that you have rebelled, and the opposition is growing louder every day. The Sun and Moon Army is still not here, and we cannot explain this to everyone. What should we do now?"

Xu Jiujiu stared at Xuanzi's tall back, a helpless expression on his face.

In fact, in order to ensure the smooth execution of the plan to lure the enemy deep into their territory, only the senior generals of the Allied Forces and other Shrek warriors knew the "truth"—it was actually a trap set for the Sun and Moon Army.

Of course, the level of understanding regarding Xuanzi's rebellion and subsequent seizure of command can be divided into three levels.

The vast majority of the allied forces were on the first level and genuinely believed that Xuanzi's rebellion a few days ago had resulted in the deaths and injuries of the allied generals, and that he had seized command of the allied forces through coercion for a long time.

The main members of the allied forces were Star Luo people and Fighting Spirit people. If it were when Shrek Academy had a good reputation, these people might have suspected that Marshal Xu Jiujiu had done something that angered both heaven and man, forcing the noble Shrek expert Xuanzi to launch a rebellion.

But things are different now. Due to a series of events, Shrek Academy's reputation has plummeted, and the halo that once surrounded this ancient academy has also dissipated.

Most of the people in the Allied Forces do not have a good impression of Shrek Academy and Xuanzi. Now that Xuanzi has publicly rebelled, they are naturally extremely dissatisfied.

The senior generals in the allied forces, the Shrek people other than Xuanzi, and the people of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, on the second level, believed that this was just a show for the Sun Moon Empire. In order to prevent the news of the show from leaking out, it was necessary to make the vast majority of people in the allied forces believe it.

However, he, his grandmother Manyi, Xuanzi, and those reclusive experts were all on the third level. They knew the truth some time ago, when Xuanzi had already secretly seized power.

Xuanzi turned around and said in a deep voice, "Princess Jiujiu, you must believe that my plan will succeed. The cunning Sun and Moon people are not so easy to catch. Therefore, the unrest within the Allied Forces must be maintained!"

I know this will cause bloodshed within the allied forces, but it's a necessary sacrifice. Let's wait patiently for a while. Once the Sun and Moon Army arrives, I will lead the allied forces to deliver a crushing blow to them!
