Southern Families, Remnants of the Star Luo Empire, the Dai Family Were Nothing but Stray Dogs
The next day, early morning.
A Red-Class Mecha took off from Mingdu and headed south towards the Federation.
Di Qiuer was the only one who found the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy too boring, so all attacks would avoid her.
Lucky EX.
It's practically a walking bug.
He followed suit immediately, while the others were all making progress.
Yue Zhengyu just started school today, and for the first time he truly understood what the concrete image of a hail of bullets meant.
Mu Hongchen pulled up the tax bills from the Federation over the years. Yin Hongye glanced at them and immediately noticed something was amiss; he was extremely sensitive to numbers.
Qian Renxue glanced at it; the number seemed a bit off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. As someone who had been the crown prince for twenty years, she could at least vaguely sense that something was amiss.
"Did these people falsify their accounts?"
"Isn't this obviously fake? You didn't even do well in math?"
"Huh?" Qian Renxue was puzzled when she heard Yin Hongye's words. He could tell just by looking at her? And my math isn't bad!
She cleared her throat to ease the awkwardness, saying, "How come these southern families are so united? They're even collectively falsifying accounts."
Yin Hongye didn't even lift his eyelids, lazily saying, "They're all old families from the former Star Luo Empire, it's normal for them to be united."
"The Star Luo Empire?" Qian Renxue frowned slightly. "A country that was annexed by the Federation ten thousand years ago."
"Yes." Mu Hongchen replied without looking up, "The Star Luo Imperial Family, also known as the Dai Family, simply led a group of powerful figures from the empire and fled overseas. They're nothing but stray dogs. Only the other families of the Star Luo Empire are left; they can only band together for warmth."
"Nearly half of the industries in the Southern Federation are controlled by these old families. No matter how fiercely they fight among themselves, they will band together once an outsider threatens their common interests."
"As the saying goes, an empire lasts ten thousand years, a noble family lasts a hundred thousand years; that's exactly what they are talking about." Yin Hongye didn't seem to care; he was already used to it.
The concept of Martial Soul inherently represents one's family background.
Qian Renxue nodded, understanding the entanglement of interests. Moreover, when she heard about the 100,000-year-old aristocratic family, the first thing that came to mind was the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, which had been around for 20,000 years and was still standing.
Beyond the Heavenly Screen, during the era of the Unrivaled Tang Clan, in the Imperial Palace of the Star Luo Empire.
Xu Jiawei leaned back on the dragon throne, a meaningful smile on his face.
He heard the words in the Heavenly Screen clearly: the future of the Star Luo Empire was gone, it had been swallowed up by this damn Federation.
What about the Dai Family?
After the Dai Family reclaimed the throne, they disregarded the people and fled with their cronies.
Then why should they sit on the throne?
"Does Dai Hao even deserve to be emperor? Does he even know how to be an emperor? Just because I have no faults doesn't mean I have no merits."
"He's nothing but a deserter. He led the royal family away from the city. How can such a person command respect? How can he expect those noble families to willingly follow him?"
He felt his throne was secure, so he stood up, walked to the front of the palace, and looked into the distance. In a few days, it would be the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament.
He had already received the message that Shrek Academy's team had encountered an accident, leaving only a group of old, weak, and disabled members. He wondered how Huo Yuhao, who had cheated, would manage to turn the tide.
He had already decided to send a Titled Douluo to keep an eye on Huo Yuhao.
Shrek Academy, a prestigious institution that has weighed heavily on the three great empires for so many years, is finally showing signs of weakening.
According to Heavenly Screen, this year's class is the best one to break Shrek Academy's backbone. The opportunity is fleeting and must be seized; Shrek Academy must be defeated.
"With favorable timing, location, and popular support, victory is assured." Xu Jiawei's face lit up with unprecedented excitement, and his eyes revealed an unprecedented ambition. "Next, let's see how this competition will tear off these people's fig leaves."
"Shatter the glory of the Shrek Academy!" He knew Shrek Academy Shrek Academy still had some use, so it couldn't be defeated by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy. He would make proper arrangements.
Meanwhile, at the hotel where Shrek Academy was resting.
Wang Yan was sweating profusely with anxiety, and the list in his hand was crumpled into a ball.
"Six wounded, and one of them is completely incapacitated. How are we supposed to fight?"
"Now the whole world knows that I'm leading a bunch of lousy losers in the competition!"
He paced back and forth in the room, with six wounded soldiers wrapped in bandages behind him, and another lying in bed unable to stand up.
Bei Bei had an injury on her arm, Xu Sanshi had a bandage wrapped around his back, and Dai Huabin had five stitches in the corner of his eye.
Wang Yan stopped and slammed the match schedule on the table. "A direct confrontation. There's no other way; this is the only option."
Hearing these words, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi looked solemn, all the pressure resting on their shoulders.
The two responded in silence.
But Bei Bei was still preoccupied with Tang Ya becoming Evil Soul Master and how she could bring Tang Ya back.
As for the Soul Spirit, he didn't take it too seriously; he could just replace it with another one later.
He can't understand him back then.
Meanwhile, Dai Hao, far away on the edge of the Star Luo Empire, stared at the Heavenly Screen, his face alternating between pale and flushed. Although the person in that scene was from ten thousand years ago, it was definitely not him who led the Star Luo Empire high-ranking officials to escape.
They must be their own offspring.
"What a spineless coward! Who taught him to desert?"
At this moment, he was still puzzled. Who exactly was this Huo Yuhao? He had no recollection of him. Did such a person really exist in his White Tiger Duke's Estate?
In the Heavenly Screen, it was unclear how much time had passed.
The Red-Class Mecha passed through the damp clouds in the south and slowly landed on the helipad in the center of the Southern Legion's base.
The cabin door opened, and a humid sea breeze rushed in.
In the distance stretched rows of barracks and training grounds, where several squads of soldiers were drilling under the scorching sun. Armored vehicles and Soul Cannon were lined up in front of the warehouse, reflecting blinding light.
Bo Saixi glanced around habitually; there weren't many Sea Soul Master around.
He unconsciously increased the pressure in his hand.
The navy doesn't have many Sea Soul Master? What kind of nonsense is this?
I just don't know how many Sea Soul Master the Sea God Legion has.
Yin Hongye was the first to step off the Mecha and looked around.
Mu Hongchen then stepped off the Mecha and followed behind him.
Qian Renxue Di Qiuer followed them down, their gazes sweeping over the taxi drivers in the distance who were casting wary glances at them. They noticed that these Southern Army soldiers all carried a strange feeling about them; to be precise, they didn't seem very strong.
Soon, a middle-aged man strode over.
He was extremely tall, wearing a well-fitting military uniform with the silver wing insignia of the Angel Legion on his shoulder insignia. His face was resolute, and his features bore a resemblance to Yue Zhengyu, only with the added weight of a century of experience.
"Red Lotus Douluo, Dr. Mu, it's an honor to meet you." Yue Zhengen stopped in front of the three, extending his right hand. "I am Yue Zhengen, Commander of the Angel Legion. That brat Yue Zhengyu has caused you trouble."
He spoke politely and smiled appropriately, but there was always something between his eyes, like a door that wasn't fully open.
The two adjutants following behind him stood tall and proud, their Soul Power fluctuations at the Titled Douluo level.
But it's far from being Super Douluo.
"No trouble at all. Yue Zhengyu is very talented, and our academy likes him very much." Yin Hongye smiled and shook hands with him. "But, Director Yue, I heard that your Southern Legion wants to impeach me."
Upon hearing this, Yue Zhengen's smile froze. He knew that Yin Hongye had come to cause trouble, and that the other aristocratic families were deliberately using the Yue Family as a scapegoat.
I'm going to fight Red Lotus Douluo? Are you kidding me? This guy just looks weird, but he's morally bankrupt.
They might be more upright than I am, but I can't control myself.
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
