The moment Xu Nian'an finished speaking, the void to his right began to shimmer and become illusory.
A moment later, an elderly man with a full head of silver hair slowly stepped out of the void.
"Your Majesty, this... this is unacceptable!"
A conflicted look flashed across Long Xiaoyao's face.
Clearly, upon hearing Xu Nian'an say that this group seemed unable to control that thing this time and that their lives were in danger, Long Xiaoyao hesitated.
I really want to go, because Ye Xishui is in this group.
For some reason, the system summoned them but didn't sever their bonds immediately.
Fortunately, Xu Nian'an wasn't interested in their petty squabbles.
"Why not? You're going there for the peace and stability of the Sun-Moon Empire."
After hearing Xu Nian'an's words, Long Xiaoyao pondered for a moment.
"Then... Your Majesty, are you safe?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian'an withdrew her gaze and slowly stood up.
"After you leave, the Great Ming Empire will conduct military exercises with the Heaven Realm Kingdom, and the Phoenix Saintess will return to the Great Ming Empire."
Xu Nian'an was very concerned about her own safety.
However, unless someone is completely out of their mind, no one would provoke the Great Ming Empire at this time.
However, to put Long Xiaoyao at ease, Xu Nian'an devised a plan: to send Ma Xiaotao from the Heaven Realm Kingdom back to the Great Ming Empire, thus entrusting his safety to this woman for the next few days.
In reality, with Xu Nian'an's current strength, even a typical Titled Douluo would only suffer a crushing defeat in the Northwest if he were to launch a sneak attack.
Even if Super Douluo, Xu Nian'an might not be without the power to fight back.
Most importantly, it's about Limit Douluo.
However, there are only a handful of Limit Douluo now, and the Great Ming Empire alone accounts for two-fifths of them. I believe that unless someone has a problem with their brain, they can easily defeat them.
Then no one would provoke the Great Ming Empire at this time.
But it's better to be safe than sorry; what's truly worrisome is the possibility of something going wrong.
The Great Ming Empire imperial family announced military exercises with the Heaven Realm Kingdom immediately.
On the Douluo Continent, the only queen personally responded.
" The Great Ming Empire is our friend. In order to test the military strength of the Heaven Realm Kingdom, I agree to conduct military exercises!"
The Star Luo Empire was the most distressed by this news.
The Star Luo Empire is located in the middle of the Heaven Realm Kingdom and behind the Great Ming Kingdom.
These two neighbors of mine were conducting military exercises without my knowledge beforehand. How could they not be afraid?
It's important to know that these two countries signed a non-aggression pact back in the Warring States Era.
Star Luo Empire: I'm panicking! My neighbor has signed a non-aggression pact.
Feeling a chill run down their spines, the Star Luo Empire did not hesitate and immediately initiated military exercises with the Antonio Kingdom.
Meanwhile, the Gilikris Kingdom saw its two neighboring countries begin military exercises. Did they not know what the Antonio Kingdom and the Star Luo Empire were like?
They were practically inseparable, fearing that the exercise would turn into a surprise attack, so they hastily began their own military drills with the Pelagi Kingdom.
The moment Kiri-Chris and the Pelagi Kingdom began to act, the three kingdoms of the Western Alliance couldn't sit still any longer.
These two countries have a history of such tactics; their Blitzkrieg was incredibly effective, and they were terrified of being ambushed, so the Three Kingdoms started fighting again.
The Three Kingdoms made such a big move without informing everyone, which completely terrified the Heaven Dou Empire.
Fearing that the previous grudges with the Silves Kingdom had reached a breaking point, Western Alliance was preparing to launch an attack on the Heaven Dou Empire, so it began to mobilize troops again.
The covert Cold War eventually transformed into a military race.
On the mainland, this superficial peace seems unlikely to last long due to various reasons.
···
On the other side.
North Moon City.
Because of the Evil Emperor's intervention, the Soul Beast and the Sun Moon Army formed an alliance, and the Great Ming Empire's army retreated again and again, withdrawing from the Western Regions.
We arrived in the Northeast Region, in North Moon City.
Because its battle lines were stretched too thin, the Sun-Moon Empire had no choice but to halt its offensive and consolidate its lines.
After waiting for several days, Xu Yi finally received support from within the Great Ming Empire.
"They've arrived, General! People from the Great Ming Empire have come!"
As the calls echoed, Xu Yi finally saw the people who had come from the Great Ming Empire.
Whoosh!
Upon seeing the group approaching, Xu Yi immediately stood up and gave a military salute.
" Xu Yi, Commander of the Overseas First Army the Great Ming Empire, greets you all."
Xu Yi's eyes swept over the Dean of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy, the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult, and even the Supreme Leader of the Holy Spirit Cult.
Then he slowly lowered his hand.
"Haha, General Xu Yi, it's been many years. You've aged considerably, and your improvement in cultivation is truly enviable."
It was Ming Lei who spoke.
Xu Yi had just broken through to the Soul Saint Soul Ring when he was the one who led the hunt.
"Elder Ming Lei "
Ming Lei waved his hand.
"We can reminisce later. Right now, we should focus on completing His Majesty's task as soon as possible."
Tap tap tap~!!!!
The moment he finished speaking, a series of tremors resounded throughout the entire city wall.
"Report, General! They're here again! This time it's Beast Tide! They're trying to break through our city walls!"
Splash splash...
Just then, the sound of armor clashing echoed. Looking down, they saw that behind the city gate, the Dragon Guard were ready, prepared to fight the group of Soul Beast head-on and push them out.
"Hehe... no need for that."
Just then, Tang Ya, dressed in a blue dress, slowly walked out.
She slowly raised her right hand, and instantly the golden Blue Silver Grass grew and spread wildly.
A massive black Soul Ring flashed.
In the distance, strands of resilient Blue Silver Grass connected to each other, straightening instantly as the Soul Beast charged forward.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A massive stampede occurred instantly, and the group of rampaging Soul Beast, led by the leader, were tripped and fell.
The cars behind couldn't stop in time and stepped on them.
Instantly Soul Ring of various colors—yellow, purple, and so on—flew up rapidly.
These are all unclaimed Soul Ring from individuals who died unexpectedly.
Beside a gigantic, malevolent eye of hatred, the Evil Emperor slowly opened his eyes.
"That's interesting. You've set a good example for them."
The moment the Evil Emperor's voice fell, the strange Soul Beast flew out instantly, countless tentacles appeared, and it moved very fast, quickly rushing to the front of the group of Soul Beast.
They charged straight towards North Moon City.
Clearly, it intended to break through the defenses of North Moon City directly, withstand the attacks of the Great Ming Empire, and clear a path for the Soul Beast behind it.
This would allow them to enter North Moon City directly. Once inside North Moon City, it would be the domain of the Soul Beast, as the large number of troops inside the city would be unable to launch a full-scale attack.
" Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast... that's interesting."
" Blue Silver Entanglement!!!"
Just as this king-level, 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant was about to rush to the city gate, countless golden Blue Silver Grass suddenly contracted and fiercely Entanglement around the huge eye-shaped Soul Beast.
"I'll do it."
With a loud bang.
Ming Lei stepped forward, his nine Soul Ring —yellow, purple, black, black, black, black, black—flashed in a flash. In the next instant, a heavy suit of armor appeared on his body, and a huge cannon barrel was aimed at the Evil Eye Tyrant. In the next instant, countless rays of light condensed.
Bang!
" The Light of the Holy Spirit!!!"
Squeak squeak squeak~!!!!
A strange sound rang out, and the Evil Eye Tyrant sensed danger. It suddenly widened its eyes, which gradually filled with hatred and rage.
"Ah~!!!"
A black beam of light shot out swiftly, colliding with the light of life.
The black light was clearly no match for the Light of the Holy Spirit; the distance between them continued to shrink until... the light struck its eyes precisely.
"Ah!!!!"
