Oath

No one objected to Qian Renxue's decision. They also had their own families and friends. As a high-ranking member of the Spirit Hall Empire, she couldn't escape the consequences. She couldn't let these people die with her.

Just as everyone was discussing how to negotiate with the Star Luo Empire, Bibi Dong was sitting in her chair watching the show with an indifferent expression, suddenly a soldier in armor rushed in.

The hurried movements made Qian Renxue stand up abruptly. She thought the Star Luo Empire had started a war, but the soldier told her some great news, incredibly good news.

"Your Majesty, Your Excellencies, the Second Worship has returned!"

Before the soldier could finish speaking, Golden Crocodile Douluo walked in from outside the door. His tattered clothes were covered with wounds, and a huge, ugly scar stretched from his neck to his back.

Even Bibi Dong was moved when she saw him. She hadn't expected that this man, who was besieged by many Super Douluo, would still be able to escape from the mouth of the Sea Soul Beast after falling into the sea.

The place where they fought back then was deep in the ocean, where there was no shortage of Sea Soul Beast that were thousands or even tens of thousands of years old. They should have been able to wear them down to death.

I wonder how much of what happened back then he saw?

Bibi Dong played with her slender, jade-like fingers, staring intently at Golden Crocodile Douluo, her eyes filled with amusement and scrutiny.

Putting aside the fact that she only made her move after the Golden Crocodile was seriously injured and dying and fell into the sea, even if he saw that he had killed Qian Daoliu, would he dare to say it now?

There wasn't a single Peerless Douluo present, so they couldn't keep her. Besides, would the Spirit Hall Empire dare to lose her now? It would be better to just hand over the Spirit Hall Empire to someone else.

Qian Renxue, however, did not notice the change in her expression at all. Excited, she had already walked in front of Golden Crocodile Douluo and pulled him to sit at the very front of the line.

"Second Worship, you're finally back! Where's my grandfather? Did he come back with you?"

"I don't know. I fell into the sea and lost consciousness before the final battle. I only heard about your grandfather after I came back."

Golden Crocodile Douluo wanted to tell Xiao Xue the truth, but he couldn't. It wasn't the right time yet; the Spirit Hall Empire still needed Bibi Dong's power.

He actually saw everything back then, including that Qian Daoliu died from having his heart pierced by Bibi Dong.

At that time, after he was surrounded and fell into the sea by Xu Chunxing and other Titled Douluo, he did not faint immediately, but relied on his strong physical strength to persevere.

With the collision of various powerful energies on the battlefield and the overwhelming aura of many titled figures, the Sea Soul Beast dared not approach, which allowed him to barely survive despite his severe injuries.

Xu Chunxing and the others were in a hurry to help Xu Mingxi, so they didn't check him carefully and let him lie dormant in the sea.

He witnessed everything that followed, and at the moment of Qian Daoliu's death, he knew that things had taken a turn for the worse.

Severely injured and on the verge of death, with little Soul Power left, he had no choice but to take a gamble. He used his remaining Soul Power to protect himself and let his body drift around with the ocean currents.

Fortunately, there's always a way out. After drifting at sea for an unknown amount of time, he was rescued by a group of Soul Master who were out Soul Hunting at sea.

Upon learning from these Soul Masters that the Spirit Hall Empire and the Star Luo Empire were about to go to war, Golden Crocodile Douluo rushed back as fast as he could, finally arriving in Star Suppression City in the last few moments before the battle.

"Xiao Xue, how is the situation now? What are your plans?"

"The Bu Le..."

Qian Renxue told Golden Crocodile everything that had been discussed earlier, and even he, a Level 98 Super Douluo, remained silent.

He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that the Spirit Hall Empire's ten-thousand-year foundation would be destroyed. But now it seemed that he had reached a dead end.

Perhaps Xiao Xue is right. Even if we, the ones in power, fail, the Soul Master below us will still be protected.

Golden Crocodile Douluo's aura instantly dropped significantly, and the breath he had gathered in his heart suddenly dissipated, only to rise again in an instant. His powerful aura intimidated everyone present, causing some people with ulterior motives to subconsciously shrink back.

Even if the Spirit Hall Empire is no match for them, they must still demonstrate the prestige of the Spirit Hall Empire and the prestige of the Spirit Hall, which has been passed down for ten thousand years.

"Xiao Xue, leave the negotiations with the Star Luo Empire to me."

"No, I'll go myself."

Without giving anyone a chance to object, Qian Renxue directly set the plan: as long as the Star Luo Empire still had any sense, they would not kill her, the negotiating envoy.

Indeed, the White Tiger Duke, who was guarding the city wall, frowned as he looked at Qian Renxue flying straight towards him. He restrained himself from attacking her and personally brought her to the Tianxing City Lord's Mansion.

Despite feeling the powerful aura of the Titled Douluo around her, Qian Renxue was not afraid at all and stared straight at Xu Mingxi sitting above her.

"Star God Douluo, I have come here on behalf of the Spirit Hall Empire to discuss a matter with you, and I hope you will grant my request."

"Oh, please speak freely."

Xu Mingxi looked at Qian Renxue below with great interest. If she remembered correctly, this was only their second meeting.

He had heard this morning that Bibi Dong had raided the military camp last night and taken away some Soul Tool, but this wouldn't change the overall situation, so he ignored it.

Unexpectedly, only one day later, half of the leaders of the Spirit Hall Empire actually came to Tianxing City and stood in front of them, the high-ranking officials of the Star Luo Empire. What did they want to do?

"Star God Douluo, on behalf of the Spirit Hall Empire, I hereby request your permission to wage war, limiting the conflict to Titled Douluo and Soul Douluo."

If either side loses this confrontation, their forces must surrender and be placed under the control of the other side. The victor is not allowed to slaughter the defeated Soul Master without cause.

How?"

This was something the Star Luo Empire's title holders hadn't expected. Xu Mingxi's lips curled slightly beneath his Mask; he could probably guess that this was mostly caused by the theft of the Soul Tool last night.

However, this is also good, as a complete Spirit Hall Empire has a larger population, and a peaceful takeover is more conducive to the spread of the Star God faith.

"Qian Renxue, as far as I know, the strongest person in the Spirit Hall Empire right now is Bibi Dong. What you said may represent her opinion."

"That is true. I swear in the name of the Angel God that everything I just said is true."

"Alright, I agree to your terms. We'll settle this in three days in the center of the battlefield, life or death is irrelevant!"

"Life or death are irrelevant!"

The two men, carrying the will of Two Great Empires, clashed fists and made a vow in front of most of the high-ranking officials of the Star Luo Empire.

If the Titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall Empire were not afraid, how could the Star Luo Empire, which held the advantage, be afraid? They accepted the challenge.
