Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, Allows Me to Defy Fate

"As long as we possess the absolute power to destroy the Xue family at any time, they will never dare to have any disloyal thoughts."

"Our current task is to use these resources that have been brought back to the sect to fully cultivate the next generation of disciples."

"Furthermore, encourage the sect's disciples to marry and have children to increase the population."

"Only if the population base of our Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan expands tenfold, or even a hundredfold."

"When that time comes, it will be only a matter of course for us to formally annex Tiandou."

After hearing this, the second elder's doubts turned into admiration.

"The eldest son is far-sighted; I have been too narrow-minded."

The Second Elder praised it sincerely.

The disciples around him looked at Yu Xiaoheng with even more fervent eyes.

late at night.

On a temporary high tower on the outskirts of Tiandou City.

The moonlight shone on Yu Xiaoheng's black robes, giving them a faint silvery sheen.

He stood alone on the terrace, his hands gripping the stone railing, quietly watching the lights of countless homes in the distance.

It was very quiet all around, with only the rustling of the wind through the treetops.

A look of confusion flashed in Yu Xiaoheng's eyes.

His inner self was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

As a soul that once received modern higher education on Earth.

He instinctively abhorred those senseless killings and destructions.

If the Xue family were forcibly destroyed at this time, the rule of the Heavenly Dou Empire would be overthrown.

Then, a nationwide rebellion and riot will inevitably break out on this land.

The lords and nobles of those places would never willingly submit to the Blue Lightning Sect.

At that time, war will rage and lives will be lost.

Countless farmlands will be destroyed and countless villages will be burned.

Millions of innocent civilians will be displaced and die in war and famine.

That wasn't the ending he wanted to see.

Forcing the Xue family to submit would ensure the smooth operation of the empire without affecting the lives of ordinary people.

This will also secure much-needed resources and development time for the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan.

When the population of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan is large enough, and the clan's strength reaches the point of truly unifying the world.

They could replace the Xue family through peaceful evolution.

Chapter 573 Attacking the Star Luo Empire

This way, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan can achieve its hegemony while minimizing war casualties and protecting the lives of ordinary people at the bottom of society.

But... Yu Xiaoheng's knowledge also told him that Lan Dian's harvesting of Tian Dou would inevitably turn into the royal family's harvesting of ordinary people.

For those ordinary people, what I did might only have meant that the number of people who died from war was reduced to a few fewer who died from poverty and illness...

He closed his eyes, letting the night wind tousle his long hair.

Footsteps echoed on the stone steps.

The Second Elder, draped in a blue robe, walked to the entrance of the terrace, watched Yu Xiaoheng's retreating figure, and reported in a low voice:

"Young Master, 80% of the gold soul coins in the Heavenly Dou Kingdom's treasury have been packed into boxes, and the ten-thousand-year-old medicinal herbs have been sealed in specially made jade boxes, ready to be transported back to the sect at any time."

In addition, the signboard of Tiandou Royal Academy has been removed and replaced with the words 'Blue Lightning Royal Academy'.

Those three old guys, Meng Shenji, are relatively obedient and have already begun the process of handing over the academy's management.

Yu Xiaoheng did not turn around, but just looked at the night sky.

"What about Xueye's younger brother?"

"Prince Xuexing is imprisoned in a death row cell. I have people whip him every day as an example for those stubborn elements in the empire."

"But young master, are we really going to let the Xue family go like this?"

The second elder was somewhat unwilling.

Yu Xiaoheng turned around, the moonlight falling on his calm face.

"Second Elder, what we need now is resources, not a mess."

If the Xue family continues to rule as emperors, the grievances of the common people will be vented on the Xue family, not on our Blue Lightning Sect.

"We'll just take the best herbs, the purest refined iron, and the most gold soul coins. As for those tedious administrative matters and the affairs of appeasement, let Xueye worry about them."

The second elder pondered for a moment, a look of admiration appearing in his eyes.

"Young Master is wise. So what should we do next? Should we return to the sect to rest, or..."

"Return to the sect?"

Yu Xiaoheng snorted coldly.

"The Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire won't give us much time. Now that Tian Dou has submitted, everyone in Star Luo will surely feel insecure."

If they secretly ally with the Spirit Hall, that would be a real problem for us. Before news of the Heaven Dou royal family's defeat spreads, we should immediately head south and annihilate the Star Luo.

The second elder's expression changed, and he responded heavily.

"Very well! I'll go and gather the troops right away!"

The next morning.

On the plains outside Tiandou City, the elite disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan stood in neat rows.

These disciples were faintly surrounded by a purplish-red aura.

Their skin had a metallic, resilient texture, and their blood and energy were as vigorous as fire. Even just standing there, the heat they emitted caused the surrounding vegetation to wither.

At the front of the group, Feng Che, Huo Yan, and other elite young talents from the Four Elements Academy were also fully armed.

Shui Yun'er stepped forward, looked at the black figure slowly approaching from not far away, and said:

“The Star Luo Empire is different from the Heaven Dou Empire. The Dai family royal family advocates war and their military style is fierce. They have the martial soul fusion skill of the Evil Eye White Tiger and the Netherworld Spirit Cat. When they really fight to the death, their methods are ruthless.”

Yu Xiaoheng walked to the front of the group, his black outfit fluttering in the wind.

He glanced at everyone.

"Let's go. Destination: the imperial city of the Star Luo Empire."

Yu Xiaoheng's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

Without any hesitation, the elite Blue Lightning warriors and the Soul Masters of the Four Elements Academy marched south in a grand procession.

……

Star Luo Empire, Imperial City, Council Hall.

Emperor Dai Xiong of Xingluo sat on a tall dragon throne. He was tall and strong, with eyes that gleamed with a faint golden light, and long golden hair that cascaded over his shoulders.

Beside him sat Empress Zhu Min, tall and graceful, dressed in a black bodysuit.

"Your Majesty, news has arrived from the Heavenly Dou Empire."

A blood-soaked spy knelt in the center of the hall, his voice trembling.

"Say!"

Dai Xiong slapped the armrest of the dragon throne.

"The Heavenly Dou Royal Family... has submitted."

In the snowy night, he agreed to hand over 80% of the national treasury, offer up all the ancient medicinal herbs, and transfer the management rights of the refined iron ore vein to the Blue Lightning Sect. Even the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was renamed the Blue Lightning Royal Academy.

"Right now, Yu Xiaoheng is leading the elite troops of the Blue Lightning Sect and the people of the Four Elements Academy, marching towards our Star Luo Empire!"

"Useless! Coward!"

Dai Xiong suddenly stood up, causing the glazed tiles on the top of the hall to rattle loudly.

"They didn't even dare to fight, and just handed over the dignity of the empire! The Xue family is truly getting worse with each generation!"

Zhu Min stood up and walked to Dai Xiong's side.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to scold Xue Ye. Since Yu Xiaoheng dared to bring people here, it shows that he doesn't take our Xingluo Empire seriously at all."

On the Spirit Hall side, although Qian Daoliu is temporarily acting as Pope, the Spirit Hall is in a state of panic after Qian Xunji's disappearance, and he cannot be relied upon at all.

The Haotian Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have also closed their gates, daring not to intervene. This battle can only be fought by ourselves.

Dai Xiong snorted coldly, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

"What if we rely on ourselves? My Star Luo Empire was founded on military might. There are only generals who die in battle, not emperors who surrender! Yu Xiaoheng is just a level 70 Soul Saint. Even if he has high talent, can he possibly withstand the combined Martial Soul Fusion Technique of the two of us by himself?"

Dai Xiong had absolute confidence in his and Zhu Min's abilities.

He is an 84th-level offensive-type Soul Douluo, while Zhu Min is an 82nd-level agility-type Soul Douluo.

After their soul powers merged, the "Netherworld White Tiger" they unleashed had a power approaching that of a level 96 Super Douluo.

As for the question of Yu Xiaoheng defeating Qian Daoliu, a Limit Douluo, Dai Xiong could only choose to ignore it and assume that the opponent was only in a temporary enhanced state at the time.

otherwise……

Xingluo had no choice but to surrender immediately.

"Issue my decree! Assemble all the elite Soul Masters of the Empire and set up camp outside the Imperial City. I will personally lead the troops to meet this genius of the Blue Lightning Sect!"

Dai Xiong's voice echoed in the main hall.

a few days later.

Outside the Star Luo Imperial City, on a vast wasteland.

The sky was overcast, with thick clouds hanging low, and the wind carried dry dust.
