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

...........

The Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City.

The Imperial Palace.

A coalition general, clad in blood-stained armor, knelt on the ground, head bowed, reporting to Xu Jiawei on what was happening at the front.

After listening to this person's report, Xu Jiawei felt a surge of anger, despair, and shame.

"The allied forces were defeated. Jiu Jiu and Senior Manyi were captured alive by Huo Yuhao and became prisoners. Jiu Jiu even went to persuade the allied forces to surrender and became the Marquis of Jiaomen... Jiu Jiu has completely disgraced our ancestors!"

His face turned pale and then bluish, he felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on his chest, his breathing became rapid, and he was overcome with anger.

Finally, Xu Jiawei coughed up a mouthful of blood, and then his whole body began to sway like a candle in the wind, unable to stand steadily, as if he would fall to the ground at any moment.

"His Majesty!"

Zhao Zhehan, the sharp-eyed head of the Xingluo Royal Offering Hall, immediately flashed to Xu Jiawei's side.

He looked anxious, supported Xu Jiawei, and ran his soul power over Xu Jiawei's body for a while, but found nothing seriously wrong.

Zhao Zhehan breathed a slight sigh of relief, but did not let his guard down.

After all, he wasn't good at healing others, so matters concerning the Star Luo Emperor's health naturally needed to be handled by a Soul Master skilled in healing.

So he shouted to the outside world, "Where is the imperial physician? Summon the imperial physician!"

Most of the so-called imperial physicians are support-type soul masters or food-type soul masters, and they all possess soul skills that can heal others.

Chapter 741 Quickly go and ask Elder Mu to take action!

Soon, the guards stationed outside the palace immediately went to find the imperial physician.

Soon after, several imperial physicians arrived at the palace. After learning that Xu Jiawei had suffered a stroke due to anger and was vomiting blood, they conducted a thorough examination of his body.

After confirming that there was nothing seriously wrong, they used some soul skills to soothe his emotions and heal his injuries, which improved Xu Jiawei's condition.

Finally, the imperial physicians helped Xu Jiawei to the dragon bed to rest, and then left the palace.

Xu Jiawei sat on the dragon bed, looking at Zhao Zhehan with red eyes, and said, "Old Zhao, do you think Jiujiu will have a chance to come back?"

Although Xu Jiujiu was captured alive by Huo Yuhao, he went around persuading the allied forces to surrender and became the Marshal of the Gate, causing the Star Luo royal family to lose face.

However, no matter what, Xu Jiujiu was his younger sister who shared the same biological mother, and he still wanted to ensure that Xu Jiujiu could return home safely.

Zhao Zhehan looked hesitant: "Your Majesty, forgive my bluntness, but the possibility of Princess Jiujiu returning is extremely slim. As the Marshal of the Allied Forces and the Princess of Xingluo, she is undoubtedly a highly valuable bargaining chip in the eyes of the Sun and Moon leadership. The Sun and Moon leadership are not fools and will absolutely not let Princess Jiujiu return easily."

"What if we send someone to negotiate?" Xu Jiawei was still somewhat unwilling. He knew that with Xu Jiujiu's value, he would certainly not be in any danger to his life in the Sun Moon Empire.

However, the fact that their lives are not in danger does not mean that those Sun Moon people will not resort to some underhanded and despicable means against Jiu Jiu.

Zhao Zhehan frowned deeply and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty! The allied forces were already at a great disadvantage on the battlefield, and now they have suffered a major defeat with heavy losses."

If negotiations were to take place solely to bring Princess Jiujiu back, the Sun and Moon high command would undoubtedly make exorbitant demands, requiring the Empire to cede substantial benefits.

Can the empire truly bear the consequences of relinquishing such vast amounts of wealth? Your Majesty, I believe you have the judgment in your heart regarding the relative importance of the empire and Princess Jiu Jiu!

Xu Jiawei fell silent, feeling aggrieved.

However, due to another major defeat for the allied forces, the battle line has now been pushed back to the vicinity of the Star Rochino defense line.

To this day, in this war instigated by the Sun Moon Empire and sweeping across the entire Douluo Continent, the Star Luo Empire has not only lost a large number of people, but now a full six-sevenths of its territory has fallen into the hands of the Sun Moon Empire.

Therefore, the current national strength of the Star Luo Empire is simply insufficient to bear the consequences of relinquishing a large amount of benefits.

The once spirited and ambitious Emperor of Star Luo now seemed to have aged several years in an instant: "Elder Zhao, in your opinion, how should the Empire now deal with the Sun and Moon?"

"First of all, we must not publicly announce that Princess Jiujiu was captured alive by the Sun and Moon Army. In any case, we cannot admit that the Allied Marshal was captured alive by the Sun and Moon Army, otherwise the morale of the Allied Army will decline further, leading to a further weakening of the Allied Army's combat effectiveness."

"Princess Jiujiu's safety in the Sun Moon Empire is actually determined by how much trouble the allied forces cause to the Sun Moon army on the battlefield. If the allied forces can fight all the way to Mingdu, the Sun Moon high command will probably beg us to bring Princess Jiujiu back!" Zhao Zhehan said decisively.

Xu Jiawei nodded helplessly: "Okay!"

Seeing this, Zhao Zhehan pressed on: "Your Majesty, you should send someone to Shrek Academy to communicate with Elder Mu and ask him to take action. Given the current dire situation, if Elder Mu continues to cower in Shrek Academy and does not participate in the war, Star Luo City will be breached by the Sun and Moon Army sooner or later, and the Allied Forces will be in an even more difficult situation."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiawei sighed, deeply agreeing: "Elder Zhao, it is indeed as you say. It's time for Elder Mu to make his move. The war has been going on for so long, yet this renowned Dragon God Douluo has been guarding Shrek Academy. If Elder Mu doesn't take action soon, this war will truly be impossible to fight!"

After saying that, Xu Jiawei arranged for the Star Luo envoy to go to Shrek Academy to discuss the matter.

.......

The Spirit Empire, Spirit City.

Dark clouds gathered, and torrential rain poured down.

With a deafening roar of thunder, blinding flashes of lightning illuminated the pale face of the Fighting Spirit Emperor.

His eyes were red and glistening with tears as he stood on the steps outside the main hall, gazing at the sky.

The captain of the personal guards, who was standing nearby, erected a soul-guided shield to block the wind and rain, and subconsciously advised, "Your Majesty, your health is of utmost importance. Please return to your palace to rest!"

"I will not go back! I watched Elder Tian leave the palace and head to the front lines from this very step. Now Elder Tian is dead at Huo Yuhao's hands and will never return!" Emperor Douling roared.

Tianyang Douluo watched him grow up and was considered his elder. The two had a very good relationship. Now, upon hearing the news of Tianyang Douluo's death, he was naturally overwhelmed with grief and anger.

And an uncontrollable killing intent towards Huo Yuhao rose in his heart.

But when he thought about Huo Yuhao's achievements, he felt powerless.

Among the three great empires, the Douling Empire was the weakest, while Tianyang Douluo was the strongest in the Douling Empire, a pillar of white jade supporting the sky.

Now that the Douling Empire has lost Tianyang Douluo, who else can kill Huo Yuhao?

After a while, his emotions calmed down a bit. He looked at the captain of the personal guard and instructed him: "You must immediately arrange for people to go to Shrek Academy and have Ling Xun represent the Douling Empire to ask Mu En to come out of seclusion and go to the front line to resist the Sun and Moon Army!"

This old guy is clearly a Limit Douluo, yet he's been hiding in Shrek Academy, refusing to come out and make a move. Is he afraid of death? Mu En is making those weaker than him fight to the death on the front lines against the Sun Moon Army; doesn't he feel ashamed?"

Xue Lingxun has not yet returned to the Douling Empire, since Xu Sanshi is still at Shrek Academy and hasn't come back yet. The two haven't seen each other for a long time, so they naturally want to spend more time together.

"Yes, Your Majesty," the captain of the personal guard replied in a deep voice.

........

Shrek Academy.

Sea God Pavilion.

The news that the allied forces had suffered a major defeat and that Xu Jiujiu had been captured alive by Huo Yuhao had already reached Mu En's ears.

He lay back in his chair, a helpless look on his face, and sighed, "Huo Yuhao's strength is even greater than I expected. He was able to fight four powerful Soul Masters all by himself and capture them alive for a long time in the midst of a large army. Even if he relied on a Soul Tool, his strength is something to be proud of."

Gong Changlong, standing to the side, said with a wry smile, "Elder Mu, now I finally understand why you asked the academy to vigorously develop soul tools back then. You were indeed farsighted. The development momentum of soul tools is becoming more and more exaggerated."

"Huo Yuhao, having just entered the Title Douluo level, was able to easily kill Senior Tianyang and the others using his soul tool. In Shrek Academy, only you can probably surpass him in strength. Even Elder Xuan couldn't have killed Senior Tianyang and the others so easily!"

Shrek City Lord Shi Xing sighed, "I never expected a twenty-year-old to have such strength. This puts even more pressure on the front lines, but we are helpless. It seems that the Star Luo Empire will soon perish."

"Why were such talented individuals seduced by the evil Sun Moon Empire and not allowed to join Shrek Academy?"

Chapter 742 Long-term incompetence, loss of sovereignty and national humiliation, it seems I must return to public life!

"Our Shrek Academy is clearly the world-renowned number one Soul Master Academy on the Douluo Continent!" Shi Xing said with some regret.

At this moment, Moon glanced at the two of them and said helplessly, "The current situation has reached an extremely critical point. The Star Luo Empire is indeed facing a crisis of national extinction."

"After all, the Sun and Moon Army is currently too strong overall. Let's send someone to talk to Xu Jiawei and have him prepare an escape route so that he can set up a small exile court in Shrek City in the future. The academy will support his small exile court."

"Isn't saying this too hurtful to him?" Gong Changlong hesitated.

Regardless of the circumstances, Xu Jiawei is the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, the ruler of a nation, and should not like to hear words that seem to curse the Star Luo Empire to failure.

"Will hurt you..." Shi Xing's words caught in his throat. He swallowed the rest of the sentence because he remembered that he was in front of Elder Mu and had to be careful.

He abruptly changed the subject: "Changlong, it's already terrible that Xu Jiujiu has become a prisoner, we can't let Xu Jiawei become a prisoner as well."

While the suggestion that Xu Jiawei prepare to form a small, exiled court was unpleasant to hear, it was useful! Did we really expect the current allied forces to defeat the Sun and Moon Army? We needed to be realistic.”

“Not bad.” Mu En nodded approvingly. “If Xu Jiawei, as the Emperor of Xingluo, were to become a prisoner, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

If this happens, even if the academy supports another member of the Star Luo royal family to ascend the throne as the new emperor, the effect of gathering Star Luo soul masters to fight against the Sun and Moon will be greatly reduced!

Gong Changlong's face showed understanding, and Shi Xing immediately said, "Elder Mu's insight is brilliant!"

Two days later.

The Star Luo Envoy and Xue Lingxun both approached Mu En.

"Elder Mu, please take action and stand guard at the front line to resist the Sun and Moon Army. If you do not take action, the Star Luo Empire will soon perish, and Shrek Academy will also face a crisis. After all, the Star Luo Empire and Shrek Academy are interdependent!" The Star Luo envoy said with his hands clasped.

Xue Lingxun glanced at the Xingluo envoy with some surprise, but quickly understood why the other party had made this request.

She also cupped her hands and pleaded, "Elder Mu, the Star Luo Envoy is right. Now, for this war, even the strongest person in the Douling Empire, Elder Tian, ​​has died on the battlefield!"

As a Limit Douluo, you are one of the strongest figures on the Douluo Continent. Logically, you should be launching a powerful attack against those Sun Moon Realm experts, not staying in the academy all the time!

Upon hearing this, Mu Enren was completely stunned.

His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

To be honest, it wasn't that he didn't want to go to the front lines to help, but given his current physical condition, if he were to fight a Sun Moon Realm expert for even a short while, he would inevitably die.

In his view, it wasn't that he couldn't die, but that he couldn't die now.

As long as he, the Limit Douluo, is still alive, he can deter villains and protect Shao Zhe in his secluded cultivation.

Moreover, the front line is quite far from Shrek Academy. If he dies on the front line, how will his soul return to the Golden Tree?

Even though he knew there was a pitfall in the Golden Tree, he still had to jump in after he died. After all, no matter how big the pit was, could it be bigger than the safety of the academy?

Of course, these things couldn't be said, but his physical condition also couldn't be revealed. After all, revealing it could very well cause the Star Luo Emperor and the Dou Ling Emperor to lose faith in the war.

You have to understand that these two guys have always regarded me as their "backup". If they find out that my essence has been damaged, the consequences are unimaginable.

"I cannot leave Shrek Academy. If I leave the academy, it is very likely that the academy will be attacked by the Sun and Moon Army. I do not want to see such a thing happen."

"Elder Mu, please reconsider!" The Star Luo Envoy and Xue Lingxun were both anxious. If Mu En did not rush to the front line, who else could withstand those ferocious Sun and Moon Realm experts?

Moon remained unmoved, but he also knew he had to maintain the relationship, otherwise Shrek Academy alone would be no match for the Sun and Moon Army.

“However, Shrek Academy can further assist the Allied Forces. I will have two senior members of the academy lead a group of people to the front lines to help the Allied Forces later!” Moon said helplessly.

"Old Shinjuku?" The Star Luo envoy and Xue Lingxun exchanged glances, clearly not very familiar with such internal affairs of the Sea God Pavilion.

“It’s Gong Changlong and Shi Xing, they are both… very outstanding Title Douluo!” Mu En explained.
