Sneak into the City of Slaughter? Set up a space-time beacon?
They'd even mentioned Limit Douluo, and the legendary divine throne.
At that moment, Dugu Bo, who had only just pledged his allegiance, stood off to the side and heard Lin Feng's words just as clearly.
He was utterly dumbfounded, his mind reeling. He couldn't even understand what this group was trying to do.
"Dugu Bo."
Lin Feng interrupted his thoughts.
"M-my lord... Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
He hadn't been a follower for long, and he hadn't quite adjusted to the change in status.
Dugu Bo clearly wasn't used to calling Lin Feng "Master," so he simply copied Long Xingyu and called him "Your Majesty."
He had no idea which nation this mysterious, powerful figure ruled. At any rate, it couldn't be the Star Luo Empire.
"You know where the City of Slaughter is, don't you? You and Long Xingyu will go together on this mission. Take him there, then come back. Understood?"
Lin Feng's tone left no room for argument.
Years spent as a man in power had given him an air of natural authority.
Though they were separated by two planes and could only speak through a curtain, the immense pressure still came through.
Dugu Bo didn't dare object in the slightest. This was his first assignment after "changing sides," and he had to make a good impression!
"Your Majesty, might I stop by home on the way and let my granddaughter know I'm safe?"
Dugu Bo nodded, accepting the order. Then he suddenly remembered Dugu Yan, who still hadn't shown up.
She had most likely run home to summon reinforcements. To avoid any misunderstandings, it would be best to explain things to her in person.
But Lin Feng shook his head from within the curtain. The corners of his mouth lifted in a faint, strange smile.
"Don't go back. Don't you think you'd make excellent bait?"
"Get a token or write a note. If Dugu Yan comes, Cai Er can cure her snake poison."
"As for anyone else... don't hold back. By now, news of the Poison Douluo's misfortune must have reached Heaven Dou."
Dugu Bo felt a chill run down his spine.
He instantly understood what Lin Feng meant.
Even if he wasn't much of a fighter, he was still a Titled Douluo. Xue Ye would certainly take his disappearance seriously.
The strongest members of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family were only the three educational committee members, all Soul Douluo. They wouldn't be much use.
So the ones who came next would probably be from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—and at least Level 90.
Was his new master planning to repeat the trick he'd used to capture him, weakening the empire as much as possible before launching his mysterious plan in full?
"I understand."
Dugu Bo said nothing more.
Deep down, he feared Lin Feng even more than before.
Beside him, Long Xingyu frowned and hesitated, glancing at Long Haochen.
"Your Majesty, if Dugu Bo and I leave, our defenses here will be too thin."
"Haochen and the others are only at the peak of the eighth rank. They're still some way from breaking through."
"Establishing the Outpost is crucial for our future arrival. Perhaps we should wait until the formation is complete, then..."
Long Xingyu didn't finish.
Lin Feng simply waved a hand.
As the Demon God Emperor, how could he make such a simple mistake? He had prepared a rapid-response force before setting out.
"Don't worry. Once you leave, I'll have Chen Zidian bring the Special Operations Team to guard the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
Now that the Holy Demon Continent had been unified and humans and demons were moving toward coexistence, names like [Fall of the Demon God] and [Demon Hunter Squad] could no longer be used.
So Lin Feng had reorganized the forces, forming several Special Operations Teams within the [Holy Demon Federation]. Every member was at least ninth rank, and they were tasked with special missions.
Long Xingyu was better suited to the City of Slaughter, so someone else would guard this place. As for Long Haochen, Sheng Cai'er, and the other younger generation, they had already reached the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. They would have to eat some Immortal Herbs. Breaking through to the ninth rank as soon as possible was crucial.
A short while later, Lin Feng finished making all the arrangements.
Long Xingyu left, with Dugu Bo following close behind.
The Dawn of Light advance team began engraving the large-scale teleportation formation and studying the surrounding medicinal herbs.
Lin Feng ended the call and stopped paying attention to the Douluo Continent. The instant the curtain projection vanished, two graceful figures came into view.
The woman on the left wore a close-fitting purple dress, a shrewd glint between her brows. She was Yue Ye, daughter of Moon Demon God Agares.
The one on the right wore a red miniskirt and had scarlet hair. A bewitching, seductive aura surrounded her. She was Sitri, the Twelfth Demon God, the Demon God of Love.
One was the commander of the mixed-blood army, and the other was a core commander of the Demon God Army. Both were capable and powerful, and both also served as Lin Feng's confidential secretaries.
"You look so pleased. Did everything go smoothly?"
Sitri smiled warmly and offered him a cup of strong tea.
Lin Feng took it, sipped, and nodded. Then he got straight to the point.
"How are the first legions preparing for battle? Any difficulties?"
"Your Majesty, everything is going smoothly. The soldiers are eager for battle, and morale is very high."
Sitri answered truthfully, just as Lin Feng had expected.
During his years as the Demon God Emperor, he had long since perfected the propaganda effort.
The Holy Demon Federation's military strength was now at its peak. They were only waiting for the advance force to finish the formation; then the road to conquest would begin.
"Good. Have the Human Elite Legion and the Demon God's direct forces prepare first. If the people over there react fiercely, we'll need to establish a foothold with a single battle."
As Lin Feng spoke, he looked to the other side.
Yue Ye stood quietly, not having interrupted once.
After instructing her to notify Chen Zidian to bring his team over immediately, Lin Feng rose from his throne.
His figure blurred, and in the blink of an eye he vanished from the palace. When he appeared again, he had arrived in a mysterious space.
It was a gigantic cavern, large enough for thousands of people to assemble in battle formation. The floor had been specially paved with magic crystal tiles, upon which intricate formation patterns had been engraved.
A white-haired old man of extraordinary bearing sat cross-legged at the center of the formation. Only when he sensed Lin Feng's arrival did he slowly open his eyes.
"Have you brought good news, Your Majesty?"
Electrolux looked at Lin Feng and smiled, completely unruffled.
"Of course. The exploration plan is going smoothly. Haochen, Cai Er, and the others have already arrived on the Douluo Continent."
"Next, I'll have to trouble you again. I want to send over a few more ninth-rank experts to help establish the Outpost."
Lin Feng walked over and briefly explained the current situation. The Dawn of Light team had secured a foothold and was about to begin the next stage.
Electrolux's eyes gleamed. Within the Holy Demon Federation, few ranked as highly as he did, whether in strength or contribution.
If the invasion of the Douluo Continent went smoothly and the plan to ignite divine fire and become gods succeeded, he would be among those who gained the greatest rewards.
After all, Lin Feng had only found the Douluo Continent's coordinates in the boundless planes because Electrolux had expended his mental strength, narrowing the search and matching and connecting to one location after another.
"Haha, it's good to hear it worked!"
"The Douluo Continent... I'd love to see it for myself."
"Alas, I still have to stay here as a node for the space-time beacon. What a shame."
Electrolux sighed, a trace of longing in his expression. Lin Feng couldn't help laughing.
If this Holy Necromancer learned how things had gone in the original story, wouldn't he want to kill Tang San?
"Once the large-scale teleportation formation is complete and we've established a stable space passage, you'll be free to go have some fun next door."
