Someone Was Itching for Trouble, Spreading Rumors and Courting Death

The beast tide receded even faster than it had arrived.

The disfigured Soul Beast fled in a chaotic rout.

Only severed limbs and charred shell craters remained, testifying to the ferocity of the battle.

"We won! We won!"

It's unclear who started it, but the armies of the Two Great Empires erupted in cheers.

The Arctic Town Soul Master, watching from behind the fortifications, were also extremely excited.

Their homes were saved!!!

Hote stood in the crowd, exhaled a long breath of white air, and finally relaxed his clenched fist.

Veya finally let go of Oscar's hand, which was gripping the handle of the Three-Eyed Icefire Guns gun.

Although many of Dai Weisi's Star Luo Empire were wounded, they all stood tall and accepted the grateful gazes of the Arctic Town.

Although it was humiliating to be pushed back, they were the ones who initially built their aura!

"Brother Dai, your military strength is truly impressive," Ye Hua praised.

Dai Weisi, however, had already suppressed his arrogance, stating, "It's just that our tactics are outdated."

His gaze was somber as he looked towards the edge of the forest. "It was right not to push in..."

"Something's not right; this isn't a normal Soul Beast rampage!"

"Now I completely believe how serious the situation is!"

Ye Hua nodded and fell silent as well.

Even the Qilin's exclusive skill is unanalyzable; that thing is truly bizarre!

Meanwhile, Qian Renxue ordered the legion to deploy along the edge of the forest.

The soldiers used local materials, building fortifications with frozen soil and rubble, and set up Three-Eyed Icefire Guns along the edge of the trenches, their muzzles always aimed at the dark, dense forest.

They operated methodically and obeyed orders without question, making them the elite of the Heaven Dou Empire!

"What are you standing there for? Go help!" Dai Weisi ordered.

As if to make up for the disappointment of being overshadowed by the Heaven Dou Army, the Star Luo Empire Army has set up an even tighter defensive line!

Seeing that someone was sharing the burden, Qian Renxue simply handed over command to her subordinate generals and walked towards Ye Hua.

But she was stopped halfway there by Qian Daoliu, who winked at her.

"Is there something Great Enshrined?" Qian Renxue suppressed the agitation in her heart and silently reminded herself that she was now Xue Qinghe.

"Crown Prince Highness, I have something to discuss with you." Qian Daoliu smiled, his face full of kindness.

Qian Renxue nodded quickly, "Okay, please come this way!"

Dai Weisi looked puzzled when he saw Qian Daoliu take Xue Qinghe away.

Strangely enough, the Spirit Hall has caused the Heaven Dou Empire no shortage of trouble!

Why is their Crown Prince giving so much face to the Great Enshrined?

They may be strong, but you are still the heir to the empire; you need to be tough!

Dai Weisi shook his head repeatedly, then stopped Ye Hua from leaving.

"Night Alliance Leader, may I speak with you in private?" Dai Weisi asked cautiously.

Seeing his serious expression, Ye Hua didn't refuse and followed him to a secluded spot.

Dai Weisi made sure no one was around before speaking, "Night Alliance Leader, we have some personal ties, so I'll be frank with you about certain things."

Ye Hua raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"

Dai Weisi's expression turned grave. "Have you paid any attention to the armies of the Two Great Empires?"

"No," Ye Hua frowned, "Is there something wrong?"

"Yes!" Dai Weisi admitted frankly, "My army has no disciples from the Seven Great Sects to support it!"

"Huh?" Ye Hua was stunned.

Dai Weisi continued, "You haven't noticed anything about Heaven Dou either?"

"Among their ranks are many disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

"Although we have Soul Guidance Weapon and don't need to be deployed to the front lines, they are still a ballast stone for stabilizing morale!"

Ye Hua seemed to be deep in thought. "What's going on?"

Logically speaking, everyone should bear responsibility for such a catastrophe on the mainland.

The Clear Sky Sect went into seclusion, Elephant Armor Sect's leader was turned into a meat pie—let's leave that aside for now.

Three of the Lower Four Sects within your Star Luo Empire are actually just standing by and watching?

Furthermore, do you dare disrespect the Long Night Alliance?

"Night Alliance Leader," a shadow crossed Dai Weisi's eyes, "About three days ago, a strange wind suddenly swept through the Star Luo Empire."

"They say your Soul Spirit System will completely change the landscape of the continent, significantly reducing the cost for ordinary Soul Master to acquire Soul Ring, and also widening the range of selectable Soul Ring ages."

"This is certainly good news for ordinary Soul Master, but for those sects that have been passed down for hundreds of years..."

Ye Hua already understood.

"The sect's advantage has been diluted, and the disciples no longer possess an Overwhelm resource barrier, so they are anxious!"

"Exactly." Dai Weisi took a deep breath. "The Holy Dragon Sect, the Black Tiger Sect, and the Wind Sword Sect are all among the Lower Four Sects."

"They are pillar sects of the empire, regularly sending disciples into the army and maintaining close ties with the empire, but they suddenly all withdrew three days ago."

There's definitely something fishy going on!

Ye Hua narrowed his eyes slightly, "Where did this information come from?"

"I don't know," Dai Weisi said, shrugging. "He suddenly appeared two days before your call reached my Star Luo City."

"Time is of the essence. I didn't even have time to investigate before I led the troops here."

The snowy wind blew, making the banners flutter loudly.

Ye Hua narrowed his eyes slightly.

Good, very good!

He originally thought that with the Long Night Alliance's intimidation, no one would dare to jump out and seek death!

I don't want there to be any warriors left!

"I will investigate," Ye Hua said expressionlessly. "Thank you for reminding me."

Currently, the Night Alliance Leader are all in the Far North Forest.

But he could easily ask his father-in-law to investigate!

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is incredibly wealthy; how could they possibly lack an intelligence network?

Seeing that he had taken it to heart, Dai Weisi's expression softened slightly. "Furthermore, according to my informants, similar rumors are circulating in Heaven Dou City as well."

"But the version is different; it says that your Long Night Alliance's power has expanded, threatening Xue Ye's rule."

"Ha," Ye Hua sneered, "If I wanted to seize power, I would have overturned the table long ago!"

"Completely fabricated, it's a complete rumor!"

Dai Weisi chuckled, "Anyone with eyes can see the problem, but those at the top may be blinded by the rain and fog."

"But don't worry, I'm on your side. I'll find out the reason and tell you immediately, and I'll also put an end to the rumors circulating in the Star Luo Empire!"

"Thank you for your trouble, Your Highness." Ye Hua nodded in acknowledgment.

Dai Weisi raised his hand, and Ye Hua gave him a high five; the sound was particularly crisp in the wind and snow.

"That's settled then," Dai Weisi said, stopping his hand. "Also, you and Zhu Qing are always welcome to visit the Star Luo Empire."

"Zhu Yun has been thinking about her younger sister for a long time!"

Ye Hua smiled and said, "I'll go when I have time."

Watching Dai Weisi leave, Ye Hua suppressed his smile and walked back to his temporary residence.

It was called a dwelling, but it was nothing more than a thick felt tent, though fortunately the space was spacious.

The charcoal fire inside was burning brightly, making it warm and cozy.

However, as soon as Ye Hua lifted the curtain and before he could even sit down, a phantom image floated out from his Soul Ring.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's face was pale, and she hesitated to speak.

"Speak," Ye Hua sat down, "You can see for yourself, I have Ultimate Douluo Guardian."

"Qilin," Sky Dream Ice Silkworm hesitated, "You should retreat first and wait for Di Tian to arrive."

Ye Hua tilted his head. "What do you mean?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm swallowed hard. "I'm afraid that old man won't be able to protect you."

"You must have noticed the fluctuation of spiritual energy just now, right? I sensed it carefully; that aura far surpassed that of Ultimate Douluo!"

"The opponent possesses divine aura, though unstable, it's at least that of Demigod!"

Ye Hua blinked.

The lower realm of Divine Official?

No, no,

How could System Bro possibly let him be in danger!

What's going on?

Wait, it can't be...
