Ju Zi Takes Power, Huo Gua Bids Farewell

The next day, in the main camp of the Sun Moon Army.

Ju Zi sat expressionlessly in the main seat, but her eyes were red-rimmed, and any outsider would undoubtedly think that this Empress War God was suppressing immense grief.

Because what was placed in front of her at this moment was not Mingdou Battlefield, but a corpse with a large hole pierced in its chest.

The face of the corpse was extremely familiar to everyone present; it was none other than their Sun Moon Empire's emperor— Xu Tianran.

Although the massive explosion last night was two thousand miles away from the Mingdou Mountain Range, how could the Sun Moon generals on the Mingdou Battlefield not have noticed it at all, especially since it happened right behind their own lines?

So, Ju Zi sent out a small team of about a dozen people to investigate the situation in the direction of the explosion.

Undoubtedly, this team brought back Xu Tianran's body.

At this moment, the six generals kneeling on either side of Xu Tianran's body all looked sorrowful and angry.

Of course, only they themselves know how much of their sadness and anger was an act.

However, among these six, the silver-armored general was truly filled with grief and indignation, for he turned and knelt on one knee before Ju Zi, saying bitterly, "Please, Marshal, give the order to slaughter the Star Luo Army and avenge His Majesty!"

Before Ju Zi could speak, the black-armored general surnamed Zhao interjected, "No, now is absolutely not the right time to attack. The fact that they were able to successfully assassinate His Majesty while Great Enshriner Kong and more than a dozen level eight and nine Soul Engineer means they must have something we don't know. If they disregard everything and try to assassinate the Marshal as well, what will we use to stop them?"

Upon hearing this, the silver-armored general roared, "The enemy is right before our eyes! Are we not going to avenge His Majesty? Is this the kind of talk a subject should have?!"

The black-armored general glared back at the silver-armored general, saying, "Is revenge for a moment's anger more important, or the Marshal's safety?! If the Marshal is in danger again, what will happen to the Crown Prince? What will happen to the Empire? Have you thought about that?!"

Before the silver-armored general could answer, a gray-armored general, who was also kneeling, spoke up, "General Zhao is right. The most urgent task is the stability of the empire. His Majesty's revenge will surely be taken one day. Now, this humble general suggests that the Marshal should return to Mingdu to assist the Crown Prince in ascending the throne. A country cannot be without a ruler for a single day!"

At the same time, apart from the silver-armored general, the other four generals knelt on one knee and bowed deeply to the orange-skinned Ju Zi in the main seat. "Please return to Mingdu, Marshal, to assist the Crown Prince in ascending Crown Prince throne and to take charge of the overall situation!"

Ju Zi remained silent, simply sitting quietly, but her meaning was already quite clear.

Seeing this, the silver-armored general rose in anger, pointing at the five men, including the black-armored and gray-armored generals, and even at Ju Zi, shouting, "You traitors! His Majesty's body is barely cold, and all you're thinking about is the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne and the power in your hands! The ministers in Mingdu are in charge of the situation. Mingdu Majesty must have made arrangements before he came out. We have plenty of time to wipe out the Star Luo Army in the Mingdou Mountain Range, yet you're all only thinking about returning to Mingdu?!"

The gray-armored general narrowed his eyes, staring at the silver-armored general, and said, "General Li, watch your words! How dare you criticize the marshal? This is utter disrespect! Do you intend to rebel?"

The silver-armored general laughed in fury, "I want to rebel?! Haha! I think it's you who want to rebel! Marshal, is this your intention?! Why are you in such a hurry..."

"Puff--!!"

In an instant, the silver-armored general's voice stopped abruptly, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The silver-armored general surnamed Li stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the severed sword that pierced his chest through his back. He turned with difficulty to face the black-armored general surnamed Zhao, blood trickling from his mouth as he groaned, "You... you... you really... were going to... were going to..."

However, before the silver-armored general could finish speaking, with a "ripping" sound, the longsword stuck in his body was once again forcibly pulled out from behind him.

This time, it was the Gray Armor General who made the move.

The silver-armored general collapsed with a thud, his body landing directly on Xu Tianran. His eyes were still wide open, but he was already dead.

At this moment, the black-armored general and the gray-armored general faced Ju Zi again, knelt on one knee, and said in unison, "Marshal, Li Hu was treacherous and dared to slander you. He has been killed by us. Please punish him, Marshal."

Ju Zi waved her hand and said, "Forget it, you were just a little impulsive. Just consider Li Hu dead in battle, give him a proper burial."

"Yes, Marshal!" the five generals replied in unison.

Then, Ju Zi slowly stood up and walked step by step towards the tent gate. Looking at the bright sunshine, she felt extremely relieved. Finally, her biggest worry was gone.

Turning back to the generals, Ju Zi was once again the valiant and domineering Empress War God: "His Majesty's matter is a secret for now! Now, reorganize the army, return to the capital! Stabilize the situation first, then we can discuss revenge!"

The five generals responded in unison, "Yes, Marshal!"

Meanwhile, inside the main camp of the Star Luo Empire Marshal.

Princess Star Luo Empire Xu Jiujiu and White Tiger Duke Dai Hao sat on the main seats, one on each side. On either side sat five members of the Tang Sect, including Huo Gua, Tang Wutong, He Caitou, and even Dai Yueheng was present.

After graduating from Shrek Inner Court, Dai Yueheng joined the army and fought alongside his father Dai Hao. These years have been quite miserable, mainly because Star Luo Empire has been losing battles, with very few small-scale wars won.

Therefore, one defeat after another even smoothed out the edges of the proud Dai Yueheng.

Regarding the improvement of his cultivation level, although Dai Yueheng has now broken through to the Titled Douluo, he has only just entered the ranks of Titled Douluo.

Dai Yueheng is only in his thirties, and such Titled Douluo is already very strong. After all, he is a genius of Shrek's Inner Court and was once the Deputy Captain of the Shrek Team.

But what people fear most is comparison. Compared to Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong, who are now Super Douluo, his senior seems far inferior.

Therefore, Dai Yueheng had very complicated feelings when facing Huo Gua, especially since Huo Gua had actually succeeded in assassinating Xu Tianran, something he never dared to imagine.

Just as Dai Yueheng was lost in thought, he heard Huo Gua say, "Princess Jiujiu, Marshal Dai, Xu Tianran is dead. In order to secure the rear of Sun Moon, the Empress War God will surely withdraw their troops. The predicament of Ming Dou can be resolved, and we should return to Shrek."

Upon hearing this, Dai Hao was not surprised. After all, Huo Yuhao had been on the Mingdou Battlefield for a long time, and the Tang Sect members were not his soldiers; they were only there to provide support and could not stay there indefinitely.

Therefore, Dai Hao replied, "Thank you all for your help this time! I won't go into too much detail about my gratitude, but in short, if you ever need anything in the future, just come to me Dai Hao. As long as it doesn't harm the national interest, I will do my best to help."
