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

He had no choice; according to the previous rules for selecting senior members, Gong Changlong and Shi Xing were actually not qualified.

However, the academy is currently facing a severe shortage of strong individuals, so these two can only be promoted to senior members. Otherwise, there is simply no one else available. We can't send Yan Shaozhe to the front lines, as he is counting on Yan Shaozhe to inherit his mantle!

The Star Luo Envoy and Xue Lingxun were very dissatisfied with Mu En's arrangements. How could a Title Douluo be compared to a Limit Douluo like Mu En?

So the two continued to persuade him, but Mu En still refused to go to the front line. He only said that he would continue to ask Xuanzi to cause more destruction in the Sun Moon Empire in order to attract the Sun Moon powerhouses back to defend and relieve the pressure on the allied forces at the front line.

In the end, the Star Luo Envoy and Xue Lingxun could only leave the Sea God Pavilion in disappointment.

...

Mingdu.

The night sky was filled with stars.

People in the streets and alleys were talking about Huo Yuhao capturing Jiu Jiu from among thousands of troops, and the noisy voices echoed in the night.

Xuanzi, dressed in a black robe and wearing a mask, sat alone in a private room of the restaurant.

Although his attire made him look like an unreliable person, business people value welcoming customers from all directions and wouldn't turn down money, so the shopkeeper naturally treated him well.

At this moment, Xuanzi was drinking wine and listening to the conversations of people outside. Among them were praises for Huo Yuhao and denigration of Xu Jiujiu. Among those denigrations were many of the "Jiujiu jokes" that had been circulating widely in Mingdu recently.

As Xuanzi listened, he became increasingly depressed. He felt that the Allied Forces had been utterly humiliated by Xu Jiujiu. Sure enough, the marshal was incompetent and had caused the death of the entire army!

His mind raced: "Long-term incompetence has led to the loss of sovereignty and national humiliation. It seems I must return to service!"

“I can’t stay in Mingdu any longer. I have to go to the front lines. After all, the situation of the Allied Forces is really bad. If I don’t leave Mingdu and return to the Allied Forces to take charge, I’m afraid the Star Luo Empire will not be far from its demise.”

"As for Elder Mu... well, even if I disobeyed Elder Mu's order to keep causing trouble in the Sun Moon Empire, given my importance to Shrek Academy, Elder Mu wouldn't kill me."

Moreover, I've successfully sown discord between the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Empire these past few days, which is a significant achievement and can slightly delay the advance of the Sun Moon powerhouses.

"The biggest problem right now is how I should face Huo Yuhao after I get to the front line. He has sealed my soul core, and to this day, I still haven't found a way to break the seal. If I encounter Huo Yuhao on the battlefield, the consequences are unimaginable."

Thinking of this, he subconsciously frowned, feeling that the soul core seal was indeed a rather troublesome thing.

Chapter 743 After a long time, you still don't want the Star Luo Royal Family...

But he had no way to solve it.

We can't exactly ask Elder Mu to solve this, can we?

He had known Master Mu for many years and knew him well. He knew that Master Mu was indeed a master fighter and also quite skilled at guiding people in cultivation.

To be honest, Elder Mu should have a way to solve ordinary soul core seals with his powerful soul force.

However, the soul core seal on his body was very strange, unlike any soul core seal he had ever seen before. According to his own thinking, even if he asked Elder Mu for help, Elder Mu probably wouldn't be able to solve it.

Moreover, even if he were to ask Elder Mu for help with this matter, given Elder Mu's current physical condition, if he were to make a move and recklessly use a large amount of soul power, he would risk his own death.

Shrek Academy is currently relying entirely on Elder Mu to maintain its standing. If Elder Mu were to pass away, the academy's situation would likely become even more critical!

"Fine, even if it's a soul core seal, there should be a distance limit. As long as I keep a sufficient distance from Huo Yuhao, the soul core seal won't be able to affect me!"

"Well, at worst, I'll send more people to scout the surrounding area and monitor Huo Yuhao's movements. As soon as Huo Yuhao arrives, I'll retreat and remotely command the allied generals! If someone else makes the move, as long as it's not Kong Deming, I can handle it!"

As a level 98 Super Douluo, if he wanted to, he could use his soul power to transmit his voice over a considerable distance, and indeed he could command remotely.

Thinking of this, Xuanzi got up, called the waiter, paid the bill, and left the restaurant, preparing to head to the front line. According to the information he had gathered in the past few days, the remaining allied forces were now huddled inside the Star Luo Qino defense line built by the Star Luo Empire.

The Star Luo Chino defense line is not far from Star Luo City.

"Once I arrive at the Star Luo Qino front, I will urge Xu Jiawei to recruit more men to replenish the army. At this difficult time for the Star Luo Empire, the people of Star Luo should also understand the empire's difficulties and contribute more to the empire!"

..........

In a secret room in the territory occupied by the Sun and Moon.

The bright white soul-guided light shone down from the ceiling, illuminating Xu Jiujiu's fair and delicate face, making her look incredibly beautiful.

At this moment, Xu Jiujiu was sitting in a chair, tilting her head slightly to reveal the black choker around her neck.

This collar is a soul tool, one of its functions is to suppress soul power. Under its restriction, Xu Jiujiu was unable to use any soul power at all.

Of course, even under these circumstances, her strength far surpasses that of ordinary people.

Although her soul power was suppressed, thanks to her Soul Emperor cultivation, her physical condition was excellent, and she could easily kill ordinary people.

However, compared to Huo Yuhao, this formidable physical strength was no different from being made of paper.

Huo Yuhao stood opposite Xu Jiujiu, a smile on his face, and his clear voice rang out: "Xu Jiujiu, a wise person knows when to yield. I hope you can cooperate with the Sun Moon Empire. We will not treat you unfairly!"

After a long while, he snorted coldly: "Huo Yuhao, do whatever you want with me, but I will never submit to you."

"Oh? Then who was the person who persuaded the Allied Forces to surrender on the battlefield?" Huo Yuhao asked slowly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu's face turned extremely ugly. If Huo Yuhao hadn't threatened her with Grandma Manyi's life, how could she have possibly persuaded the allied soldiers to surrender?

As the princess of Xingluo and the marshal of the allied forces, the negative impact of her actions is immeasurable. I imagine her brother will also feel greatly humiliated by this!

The thought of this made Xu Jiujiu very angry, so she subconsciously closed her eyes and remained silent, as if she didn't want to talk to Huo Yuhao.

Seeing Xu Jiujiu's expression, Huo Yuhao continued, "Xu Jiujiu, you don't want the Star Luo royal family to be completely destroyed, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu suddenly opened her eyes, glared at Huo Yuhao, and said in a deep voice, "Huo Yuhao, you're threatening me again!"

She truly did not want the Xingluo royal family to be completely destroyed, after all, she was also a member of the Xu family.

"Yes, it is a threat." Huo Yuhao put his hands behind his back and admitted it frankly.

"My goal is very simple: to unify the Douluo Continent with the Sun Moon Empire. Of course, in the process of achieving this goal, I will inevitably encounter some people who will obstruct me."

"The Star Luo royal family has always taken action to resist, and naturally they are also within my scope of elimination. However, if you are willing to cooperate with me, I will give you a chance to save the Xu family."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu gritted his teeth and said, "Huo Yuhao, don't forget, Elder Mu of Shrek Academy is still here. Even if you want to help the Sun Moon Empire unify the Douluo Continent, you still have to ask Elder Mu if he agrees!"

The existence of Mu En has always been one of the sources of confidence for these forces that resist the Sun Moon Empire. After all, Mu En is one of the top Limit Douluo on the Douluo Continent.

“Mu En’s essence is damaged, and his physical condition is poor, which is why he has been hiding in Shrek Academy for many years and rarely fights with others. If he were to fight a powerhouse of Elder Kong’s level for even a short while, he would die. He cannot protect the Star Luo Royal Family,” Huo Yuhao said bluntly.

Xu Jiujiu's pupils contracted slightly, somewhat incredulous: "How is this possible!"

Huo Yuhao said calmly, "Why is it impossible? Otherwise, why hasn't Mu En personally helped the Allied Forces?"

Even if Moon, as the master of the Sea God Pavilion, wanted to defend Shrek Academy and protect the academy, this reason was untenable.

After all, the worse the situation for the Allied Forces on the battlefield, the more dangerous Shrek Academy's predicament will be. Sooner or later, the Sun and Moon Army will be at the gates of Shrek City.

After a long silence, recalling all of Mu En's actions since the start of the war, Huo Yuhao's words about Mu En were likely true.

Huo Yuhao continued, "Moreover, you've seen my strength on the battlefield. Currently, who in the Star Luo Empire can stop me? If I wanted, I could easily take you into the Star Luo Imperial Palace and wreak havoc!"

After a long while, his face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth before finally replying, "Enough, Huo Yuhao, how exactly do you want me to cooperate with you?"

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "As the Star Luo Princess and a former Allied Marshal, I hope you can become the Star Luo Empress, submit to the Sun Moon Empire, help the Sun Moon Empire unify the Douluo Continent, and faithfully carry out my orders."

"Don't worry, I can promise that as long as you are willing to cooperate, the Xu family can settle down safely. I am not a bloodthirsty person, I just want to achieve my own goals."

Although the Sun Moon Empire occupied a large amount of Star Luo territory and adopted a series of policies that made many Star Luo people extremely satisfied with the Sun Moon Empire, the influence of the Xu family, who had been the royal family for more than four thousand years, on this land was not so easily erased.

Supporting a puppet empress would obviously be beneficial for better ruling the Star Luo territory, promoting the faith, damaging Tang San's reputation, and weakening the fighting will of the remaining rebels.

Once the situation has become stable and she has lost her value, it is natural to strip her of her title as empress and then give her a dukedom in name only as a consolation.

She sighed for a long time and said, "How do you plan to make me the Empress of Star Luo? My reputation is too bad right now. I guess everyone in Star Luo is cursing me. Will anyone in the empire be willing to support me?"

Chapter 744 Xuanzi: Your savior has returned!

"You don't need to worry about that. We'll help you become the Star Luo Empress eventually," Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, he nodded after a long pause, then said hesitantly, "What about the safety of my elder brother and his children...?"

Huo Yuhao said, "Don't worry, I have no interest in hurting them. I will lock up Xu Jiawei and his children and provide them with good food and drink. Of course, the premise is that you have to obey me and do whatever I say."

Although Xu Jiujiu felt aggrieved, she had no choice but to agree for the sake of the Xu family's future.

........

Star Luo Empire.

The Imperial Palace of Xingluo City.

Xu Jiawei is discussing escape routes and the formation of a small exiled court with his cabinet ministers.

A few days ago, Mu En sent someone to the Star Luo Empire to inform them of these matters. Although Xu Jiawei found these words extremely unpleasant to hear, he also acknowledged in his heart that the Star Luo Empire was indeed in an extremely dangerous situation.

If they hold out in Xingluo City, the outcome will be extremely dire.

Even though the Star Rocino defense line was inspected by specialists and no major problems were found, Xu Jiawei did not believe that the Star Rocino defense line alone could completely stop the Sun and Moon army.

That defensive line was merely a delaying measure for the Sun and Moon Army's advance.

Of course, if it weren't for the fact that he had no way to resist the Sun and Moon Army, he would never have wanted to leave Star Luo City. Instead, he would have wanted to hold the city. After all, no matter which dynasty it was, it was a shameful thing for the emperor to run away from the capital.

Soon, the group came up with several escape routes and plans to establish a small exiled court in Shrek City.

After the ministers left to make arrangements, Xu Jiawei sighed, looked at Zhao Zhehan beside him, and said, "Old Zhao, in this war, we don't know which side will be the final victor. If we win, everything will be fine, but if we lose, we will face great trouble."

Therefore, you should now arrange for Xing'er and the others to secretly board a ship and head to the new continent overseas to preserve the Xingluo royal family's legacy. This way, even if we ultimately lose, the Xu family can still survive, and perhaps one day they can make a comeback!

The so-called Xing'er is the crown prince of the Star Luo Empire. He possesses the Star Crown Martial Soul and has considerable talent.

Given the current dire situation, Xu Jiawei certainly couldn't place all his bets on Shrek Academy.

Before the option of retreating to overseas new continents was available, it was natural to be completely bound to Shrek Academy.

Now that we have a way out, are we really going to stick with Shrek Academy completely?

Of course, the new continent overseas is not an absolutely safe place either, but in any case, it is still safer than the Douluo Continent, which is currently at war.

"Okay!" Zhao Zhehan nodded in agreement and then quickly left the place.

...........

Inside the Star Rochino defense line.

Many coalition soldiers were patrolling, their faces showing obvious fatigue, and their eyes filled with fear of war.

After all, the Allied forces had been suffering defeats, which was a huge blow to morale. Even the most optimistic Allied soldiers could hardly hope to win the war now.

At this moment, a figure in black robes streaked across the sky like a meteor, quickly appearing above the camp area inside the defensive line, extremely conspicuous.

Like a flame rising from the darkness, almost instantly, the highly vigilant Soul Masters within the defensive line noticed the appearance of this figure.
