Tang San Wanted to Take the Initiative and Start the War
The departure of Qian Daoliu and his Soul Master Legion also signifies the complete end of the Heaven Dou Battlefield. Strangely, Tang Chen, who had been relentlessly attacking and trying to kill Qian Daoliu, did not pursue them.
He landed beside Tang San, and no matter how Tang Hao and Tang Xiao called out to him, he did not respond. He simply moved with Tang San's steps, protecting him closely.
Seeing Tang Chen like this, Bo Saixi's tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes. Protecting Tang San so much, the one who manipulated her lover must be either the Lord Sea God or the Lord Sea God's friend.
The discovery nearly broke Bo Saixi's heart. She slowly walked forward, wanting to touch Tang Chen's cheek, but was stopped by him with a hammer before she could get close.
"Tang Chen, do you really not remember me?"
Unable to get a response, Bo Saixi could only suppress her grief and, together with the four titled members of Sea God Island, return with the corpse of Sea Dragon Douluo.
With Tang San Tang Chen protecting him now, even if Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong attack at the same time, they won't be able to harm him in a short period of time.
Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also led his team back to their camp. Other forces also went back to rest. As they passed by, their eyes unconsciously glanced at Tang San and his group and Tang Chen, and no one knew what they were thinking.
Tang San, who was the focus of everyone's attention, was somewhat bewildered. He had met the Slaughter King in the Slaughter City, and at that time, he never thought that the Slaughter King would protect him, especially since he was his great-grandfather.
"Dad, Uncle, is the Slaughter King really my great-grandfather?"
"That's right. Back then, my grandfather was trapped in the Slaughter City, which greatly damaged the strength of our Clear Sky Sect, which is why we were attacked by the Spirit Hall."
Later, we sent many disciples to the Slaughter City to search for news of our grandfather, but we never expected that he would become the Slaughter King and now he has lost his mind.
Tang Hao and Tang Xiao looked at Tang Chen, whose eyes were bloodshot and devoid of any spirit, and felt puzzled. They had been cultivating by their grandfather's side since they were young, and they never expected that something like this would happen.
But what can they do? Go against someone who can control Peerless Douluo and is clearly protecting Tang San?
When the battle report from the Heaven Dou Empire reached the Star Luo Empire, everyone from Star Luo Emperor Dai Feng and the various Titled Douluo to the sect Sect Master and patriarchs of numerous sects and families was shocked.
It's one thing that Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, possesses unparalleled combat power, but what's with Tang Chen, who has been missing for decades, suddenly reappearing?
While everyone was puzzled, Xu Mingxi guessed the general situation.
It's likely that the Asura God Deity, fearing the death of his successor, released Tang Chen from the Slaughter City to come to the rescue.
It's just unknown whether he has completely removed the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King from Tang Chen's body, and whether he will be able to restore Tang Chen's sanity.
A Peerless Douluo with intelligence is worlds apart from a Peerless Douluo who only knows how to protect Tang San.
Fortunately, Ning Fengzhi's message soon reached Xu Mingxi. Tang Chen stopped eating and drinking and stayed by Tang San's side the whole time.
That's enough. Dealing with such a rigid Peerless Douluo is just a bit troublesome.
No one expected the Heaven Dou Empire's first battle to end so miserably. While Golden Crocodile was in a daze, he ordered the Soul Master Legion to build defensive fortifications on the spot. What followed would be a protracted war.
The Spirit Hall didn't like this result, nor did the Two Great Empires. The rainy season that started the war was draining the empires' strength, and they really couldn't keep up with it for long.
Dai Feng paced back and forth in his tent, his heart filled with worry. It wasn't just because of the Spirit Hall, but also because the Star Luo Empire was falling behind the traditionally weak Heaven Dou Empire.
The Heaven Dou Empire, which had been suppressed to the point of having only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect left, was now able to withstand the attack of two peerless warriors. How could this not shock him?
Now that the Spirit Hall failed to conquer the Two Great Empires in one fell swoop, it will be very difficult to conquer them in the future. Dai Feng has begun to consider how to gain greater benefits in a protracted military war.
Before he could figure it out, Empress Zhu Lin walked in from outside, bringing him dinner and a message along with it.
"Your Majesty, the one from the Star Luo Kingdom wishes to see you; he is currently outside the tent."
"Luo Yi, what is he doing here? Even if war breaks out now, our relationship with the Heaven Dou Empire is not good."
Inside the tent, the Heaven Dou Empire's objectives were being discussed, while Luo Yi, waiting outside, felt somewhat helpless.
Tang San somehow learned about his relationship with the Star Luo Empire and sent him to act as an intermediary, insisting that he persuade the Star Luo Empire to send troops to attack the Spirit Hall at the same time.
Luo Yi didn't want to come, but what room for resistance did a Soul Douluo like him have? The Star Luo Kingdom was still within the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Luo Clan and the people of the Star Luo Kingdom needed to survive.
He had no choice but to come, and before leaving, he brought his third son, Luo Yun, with him, hoping to get him to join the Star Crown Sect.
If anything unexpected happens in the Star Luo Kingdom, their Luo Clan will still have a descendant.
If it weren't for Queen Xu Mingya's unwillingness to leave, he would have wanted her to return directly to her sect. Heaven Dou is dominated by Tang San, and their forces can only survive in the cracks, cautiously trying to stay alive.
Soon, Dai Feng welcomed him inside. What happened between the two was unknown, but Luo Yun, who was outside, only heard countless sighs.
He knew his Father King's purpose in bringing him here, and amidst his pain, he also understood his responsibilities and mission.
I wonder how Mingxi has been doing all these years. I suppose his strength must have reached the Soul Douluo by now, unlike him, who is still lingering at the Soul Saint.
Thinking back to the days he spent studying at the Canghui Academy with Xu Mingxi and the others, Luo Yun couldn't help but smile; those were the happiest days of his life.
Luo Yi came out quickly, his face expressionless, leaving no one knowing what he was thinking.
He took Luo Yun to the territory of the Star Crown Sect, handed him over to the disciples there, and then returned directly to the tent that Dai Feng had prepared for him, waiting for the outcome from the Star Luo Empire.
While cultivating in his tent, Xu Mingxi suddenly heard a message from the Sect Master leader that Luo Yun had arrived and asked if he wanted to see him.
"Why is Brother Luo Yun here? I hope something has happened in the Star Luo Kingdom."
Having not seen each other for many years, Xu Mingxi still remembered Luo Yun's care and guidance, and couldn't help but feel worried.
However, this worry seems somewhat unnecessary. Although the Star Luo Kingdom is not considered powerful, it does have Luo Yi, a high-level Soul Douluo.
Moreover, the Dragon Duke and Snake Woman, a couple who can use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to briefly clash with those holding titles, are also on the Star Luo Kingdom's side, so they shouldn't have any problem protecting themselves.
