Support and Decisions
Now that Douluo Continent is divided into two, the Elder Hall led by Qian Renxue is the only one with any say in the Spirit Hall Empire, and Xu Mingxi's imperial decrees are equally unchallenged in the Star Luo Empire.
With their approval, two massive war machines began to turn, and numerous powerful warriors and Soul Master legions gathered in Tianxing City and Star Suppression City.
These two cities, standing opposite each other, will serve as the final battleground to determine the true ruler of the Douluo Continent, with all forces participating to varying degrees.
As one of the warring parties, the Star Suppression City Lord's Mansion was deathly silent, with every Soul Master and general displaying coldness and determination on their faces.
Sitting at the head of the table, Qian Renxue had a gloomy face as she kept flipping through the intelligence in her hand, but she still couldn't find a way to break the deadlock.
They had already used their Soul Bone power to force several Soul Douluo to break through their titles, but compared to the lineup that the Star Luo Empire had brought out, their side was far inferior in both quality and quantity.
The Spirit Hall Empire had exhausted all its titles, yet it still couldn't compare to the Star Luo Empire, which had retained many titles. This realization reaffirmed Qian Renxue's previous thoughts.
"Everyone, you have seen the strength of both sides. We are no match for the upper-level titled combat power. If we want to defeat them, we need to start with the Soul Master Legion."
Generals, I need you to lead a large number of Soul Douluo to hold off or even kill the enemy's Title Douluo. If possible, you can do it.
The only advantage the Spirit Hall Empire holds is in the number of Soul Master at the Soul Saint Soul Douluo levels. Thanks to the foundation of the former Spirit Hall, it is much stronger than the Star Luo Empire in this aspect.
The generals of the Soul Master Legion looked grim, but they still accepted the mission; in this situation, they were the only ones who could step forward.
Moreover, relying on several high-level Soul Douluo, even if they can't defeat them, they can still barely hold off a weak titled opponent.
"Hahahaha, hahahaha, this is hilarious! They're still dreaming of fighting against the Star Luo Empire."
"Qian Renxue, you'd better wake up. Whether it's their titled combat power or their lower-level Soul Master legions, the Spirit Hall Empire is no match for them."
That voice... it's Bibi Dong! How could it be her? Didn't she say she wouldn't participate in this war?
Qian Renxue frowned as she looked at Bibi Dong, who walked in from outside the door. Disgust and surprise flashed across her eyes at the same time.
What are you doing here?
"What am I here for? I am the emperor of the Spirit Hall Empire. How can this war be fought without me? It's just that you seem to be stuck in the past and haven't seen the current situation clearly."
What do you mean by that?
Bibi Dong didn't say anything. She wiped her hand on the Storage Soul Tool and casually threw a level 5 Soul Tool Cannon and several Soul Tool Cannons on the ground.
A loud clang resounded in the hearts of everyone present, especially the Qian Jun Jiang Mo Douluo, who stood up abruptly, staring in astonishment at the Soul Tool that had appeared before him.
When Xu Zixlong took out that Nine-level Soul Tool Cannonball, they had seen it from the Grand Elder and recognized it.
"Bibi Dong, where did you get this? Is it that Xu Zixlong who claims to be from overseas? He deceived us and then dared to come back."
"Xu Zixlong? Who is that? These things were taken from the Star Luo Empire's camp. There are still quite a few there. I think everyone here understands what that means."
Upon hearing this, Soul Master present who had witnessed the power of Soul Tool showed expressions of horror, especially Mighty Lion Douluo, who had considered building a Soul Tool Legion, and had basically given up hope for this war.
However, what puzzled them was when exactly the Star Luo Empire secretly created such a batch of Soul Tool, where they got their blueprints, and why they didn't bring them out during the last war.
These questions were voiced by Qian Renxue, who acted as a mouthpiece, and many eyes were focused on Bibi Dong.
"Why are you looking at me? Don't you know which power is the deepest hidden in the Star Luo Empire?"
"And if I remember correctly, the Xu Zixlong you mentioned came to the Douluo Continent to hunt down the Star God Douluo, right?"
Yes!
Mighty Lion Douluo suddenly realized that since the Star Crown Sect had offended Xu Zixlong, causing him to travel thousands of miles to come here, they must have had some contact overseas.
The Overseas Xu Family possesses incredibly powerful Soul Tool, so it's not surprising that the Star Crown Sect, which had contact with them, could obtain the relevant blueprints.
He vaguely remembered hearing news of the Star Crown Sect ships returning from overseas several years ago, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Now it seems that they must have obtained the Soul Tool blueprints back then.
It's unbelievable that it took so many years for the Star Crown Sect to finally bring it out. They really hid it well, and their scheming is truly profound.
And those blacksmiths in Gengxin City who disappeared before the Spirit Hall Empire's attack were mostly the work of the Star Crown Sect. Yet, they actually dared to join other forces in denouncing the Spirit Hall Empire back then. They're truly bastards.
Mighty Lion Douluo clenched his right fist and slammed it down on the table in front of him, venting his anger while also bringing everyone present to their senses.
"Young Master, our most urgent task now is to discuss how to deal with the Star Luo Empire's attack. We don't have much time left to prepare."
When Qian Renxue came to her senses, a bitter smile appeared on her lips. The difference in strength was obvious, and what could she do?
However, she quickly suppressed her inner cowardice. Being afraid before the battle is a major taboo on the battlefield, and as the leader of all the titled Elder, she could not show the slightest hesitation.
"Bibi Dong, now that you've come, does that mean you're going to get involved in this war?"
"Of course, I am the Empress of the Spirit Hall Empire. Without me, you are nothing but ants that the Star Luo Empire can easily crush."
"Okay, remember your promise."
Even if Bibi Dong said was true, Qian Renxue still felt disgusted. She never thought that one day she would be reduced to relying on this woman.
If her grandfather were still alive, he would never have made her submit to such humiliation. He would have definitely taken up the Angel Holy Sword and driven this woman out, then charged into the Star Luo Empire's camp and slaughtered everyone in sight.
In any case, with Bibi Dong joining the fray, the opposing Star God Douluo finally has someone to deal with, and Qian Renxue has one less worry.
Being in a weak position is much better than collapsing instantly; at least the Spirit Hall Empire can maintain a tiny bit of dignity.
Qian Renxue stood up straight, her Angel Martial Soul manifesting, and the Angel Holy Sword in her hand radiated a magnificent light, inspiring awe in all the Soul Master who worshipped the Angel God.
Looking down at the Soul Master, she raised the Angel Holy Sword above her head and announced her final decision.
"Gentlemen, I have decided to abandon the battles below the Soul Douluo level in this war. If we are defeated, then the Spirit Hall Empire will announce its direct surrender."
