The Mountain Gate Was Destroyed
The outbreak of the Star Crown Sect War caused quite a stir, but due to the fact that the Douluo Continent had virtually no communication system, no major forces knew about it for the time being, except for the two sides in the duel.
The Spirit Hall Empire seized upon this point, and the signal flare launched by Mighty Lion Douluo was intended to create a time difference, allowing Qian Daoliu's prepared backup plan to arrive and provide support.
On the ancestral land of the Zhao and Qian Families, Xu Zixlong looked at the dazzling fireworks in the distance, and the flames of revenge burned in his heart.
He spent so many years, enduring long and tedious sea voyages, all for this moment, this moment of revenge against Xu Mingxi.
Xu Zixlong recalled the slow growth of his Soul Power during his past cultivation, and his heart was filled with resentment towards Xu Mingxi.
He knew that his inability to advance was mainly due to the deficit from his childhood and the low age of his Soul Ring, but he believed that as long as he obtained the Deity inheritance, these would not be problems.
After learning that Xu Mingxi had broken through to the level 99 Peerless Douluo, he was depressed for a while and finally realized that he would most likely never be able to snatch back the Deity inheritance in his lifetime.
Since that's the case, he must make Xu Mingxi feel the pain before returning to the Sun Moon Continent, so that he knows that stealing his Deity inheritance will come at a price.
Xu Zixlong was willing to take out the Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell for this reason. He was fearless as he prepared to set off to return to the Sun Moon Continent. So what if the Soul Tool was exposed?
Later, at Qian Daoliu's request, he agreed to be a backup plan in the attack on the Star Crown Sect, all in order to take revenge on the man who stole his Deity inheritance.
"Xu Yang, Xu Yin, let's go. After destroying the Star Crown Sect's Mountain Gate, we'll return directly to the Sun Moon Continent."
"Yes."
The Soul Tool Armor he wore emitted an eerie purple light. Xu Zixlong's eyes were filled with ruthlessness as he led two titled elders straight to the Star Crown Sect.
Each of them possessed at least two Level 9 Soul Guidance Device, with Xu Zixlong, the leader, being armed to the teeth. With the enhancement of his Soul Tool, he was even capable of fighting against Level 97 Super Douluo.
He vowed that this time he would make that scoundrel Xu Mingxi taste what it's like to lose a precious treasure.
Behind these three, dozens of Soul Master dressed in the attire of the Sun Moon Empire suddenly appeared from nowhere. Each of them was a Soul Douluo- level Soul Master, and they carried Soul Tool Turret on their shoulders.
In the Back Mountain of Starfall Mountain, the Star Tree, which was concentrating on controlling its roots and fighting against the Qianjun and Jiangmo- Subduing Starry Tree, seemed to sense something, and the ancient face on its trunk couldn't help but open its mouth wide.
Immediately afterwards, its roots split off, dragging the Star Crown Sect disciples below the Soul Saint on the battlefield back quickly, its aged voice resounding throughout the entire Starfall Mountain.
"Star Crown Sect brats, retreat quickly, retreat back to the Back Mountain."
No sooner had Vine Elder finished speaking than chaos erupted on the battlefield. Xu Fangming, without a second thought, immediately ordered the disciples of the Star Crown Sect to retreat to the Back Mountain.
Each disciple was wearing a soul-guided flying device, and the sight of hundreds of Soul Master taking to the air immediately stunned the Spirit Hall Empire's troops.
The bewildered Mighty Lion Douluo was about to urge his men to speed up the attack and completely breach the Star Crown Sect's Mountain Gate when he felt a scorching heat coming from behind him.
Keep in mind that he is a Level 97 Super Douluo, and his Martial Soul is the top-tier fire-attribute Beast Martial Soul, the Blazing Lion. There are very few things on the entire Douluo Continent that can make him feel scorched.
Looking back, Mighty Lion Douluo's expression changed instantly. He covered his entire body with Soul Power and suddenly released his Ninth Soul Skill towards the sky.
"Qian Jun, Jiang Mo, take your men and run!"
Without Mighty Lion Douluo needing to say more, the Titled Douluo belonging to the Spirit Hall Empire had already begun to flee, just like the Star Crown Sect Soul Master. Even the heads of the Zhao and Qian Families chose to abandon their clansmen.
Dozens of Soul Tool Cannon rained down from the sky, bombarding the Mountain Gate of the Star Crown Sect and annihilating the Star Crown Sect Soul Master and the Spirit Hall Empire Soul Master who had not had time to escape.
"Xu Zixlong, what are you doing?!"
The Mighty Lion Douluo burst out of the smoke, his clothes mostly torn, revealing his strong arms and muscular chest.
He scanned his surroundings fiercely, but did not find the person he was looking for.
In his mind, the only people who could possibly possess such a large-scale and powerful Soul Tool were the Xu Clan who claimed to be from overseas.
The Soul Master of the Spirit Hall Empire suffered heavy losses in this bombing; apart from the Titled Douluo and a few Soul Douluo, no one survived.
The Zhao and Qian Families patriarchs stared blankly and numbly at the scorched earth below. Their two families were truly finished this time.
They no longer expect to survive themselves; they only hope that the few remaining members of their clan who were sent away can carry on the legacy of the two families.
"Xu Zixlong, come out! How dare you betray the Spirit Hall Empire!"
The Mighty Lion Douluo roared in the air, only to be met with a barrage of Soul Tool Cannon.
The Star Crown Sect was not spared either; on the contrary, Xu Zixlong's resentment towards it far exceeded that towards the Spirit Hall Empire.
Several level 8 and even Nine-level Soul Tool Cannonball landed directly inside the Star Crown Sect's Mountain Gate. The violent explosions destroyed many buildings, and even the Sect Master Hall on the mountaintop was reduced to Ruins in the explosions.
Fortunately, the Star Crown Sect had moved away its weaker disciples before Xu Mingxi Bo Saixi; otherwise, this attack would have been Destruction for the Star Crown Sect.
The Mountain Gate can be rebuilt, and resources can be acquired again, but if the core strength and the hopeful youth of the future are gone, that would be a true catastrophe.
Xu Fangming forcibly stopped the Elder who wanted to rush out and fight to the death after seeing the Mountain Gate they had lived for hundreds of years destroyed, and secretly made a mental note of this.
"Elder and disciples, what we need to do now is to preserve our lives and wait for Mingxi and the Sect Master to return. We must not act rashly."
Everyone understands the principle, but how can one vent the pain in their heart when their home is destroyed?
The Star Crown Sect's Soul Master vented their anger on the incoming Soul Tool Cannon, unleashing bursts of Starlight that detonated them all in mid-air, minimizing damage to the Back Mountain.
As for the various resources within the sect, including the well-equipped Mimetic Cultivation Field, they were forced to abandon them and settle accounts with the perpetrators later.
Seeing that the Star Crown Sect's Mountain Gate had been completely reduced to Ruins, and that Mighty Lion Douluo and his companions were about to recover and cause trouble for him, Xu Zixlong immediately led his men to retreat.
With their Flying Soul Tool, the Mighty Lion Douluo and his companions, who were merely slightly injured and had exhausted their Soul Power, were far beyond what they could possibly catch up with.
