Pursuit Arrives, General Divine Eagle

Star Luo Imperial Capital

Dai Weisi received a report from his subordinate.

Su Xiong was accompanied by Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing. They had already entered the Star Luo Empire and were heading toward Longxing City.

Dai Weisi was initially surprised upon hearing this.

But soon, he burst into laughter.

"I didn't expect my dear little brother to truly refuse to give up."

Dai Weisi spoke with a cold sneer. "I did underestimate him before, but..."

"Trash will ultimately be nothing more than trash."

A fierce glint flashed through Dai Weisi's eyes.

Dai Weisi brought over a map and studied the route on it before saying thoughtfully, "Hmm, judging from their route, it seems they intend to pass through Longxing City and flee to the Heaven Dou Empire."

"You, go invite General Divine Eagle here. Have him kill Dai Mubai!"

Dai Weisi spoke with absolute confidence.

In his eyes, General Divine Eagle was an expert at the Soul Douluo level.

That Su Xiong... was merely a Soul Saint.

Before a Soul Douluo, he was not worth mentioning.

"Oh, right. I heard that the Minister of Finance and those people have been gathering together for secret meetings quite often lately?"

Dai Weisi suddenly revealed a mocking smile. "Those idiots couldn't possibly think Dai Mubai can come save them, could they?"

"How utterly delusional! Sooner or later, they'll have to die too!"

"But... let my dear little brother be the first to go on his way!"

Star Luo City, inside a hidden house.

The Minister of Finance and his group were gathered together, discussing matters.

"If Dai Mubai dies, then no one will truly be able to stop Dai Weisi from taking the throne!"

Someone sighed mournfully.

Some of these people supported Dai Mubai, while others had offended Dai Weisi and had no choice but to join them.

No matter what, everyone in this room—

Once Dai Weisi took the throne, none of them would have an easy time.

But...

Dai Mubai was too disappointing.

The current Dai Mubai seemed to have no chance of defeating Dai Weisi.

They were all extremely anxious as well.

If Dai Mubai truly died, then they could only wait for death.

"Sigh... as long as one is alive, there is hope."

The Minister of Finance sighed and slowly said, "Dai Weisi is sending people to intercept and kill Dai Mubai. We absolutely cannot let him succeed!"

"Let Dai Mubai escape. As long as we can protect him until he reaches the Heaven Dou Empire, there will still be hope!"

A vast net formed by countless spies spread toward Dai Mubai.

Meanwhile, he had already arrived at the Breaking Clan.

Inside the main hall.

Just as Niu Gao had said, Yang Wudi immediately agreed, even faster than Niu Gao himself had expected.

Sigh!

It seemed I had still underestimated Old Goat's hatred for Tang Hao.

Niu Gao sighed inwardly, lamenting the pain his old friend had endured over the years.

And when Dai Mubai spoke of the immortal herbs, Yang Wudi became so emotional that he dropped to his knees and kowtowed.

"Your servant, Yang Wudi, is willing to serve Your Highness for this lifetime and the next, to brave all dangers and serve until death!"

"Please, rise quickly."

Dai Mubai was startled and hurriedly helped Yang Wudi up.

He knew the man had spent his entire life searching for immortal herbs, but he had not expected him to be so moved.

Yang Wudi had not acted like this when Tang San took out immortal herbs.

But on second thought.

Yang Wudi hated Tang Hao so much, and Tang San, as the son of his enemy, naturally could not expect kind treatment from him.

It was already good enough that Yang Wudi had not killed him.

Making peace with Tang San later on had been purely a plot arrangement.

As a Prince of the Star Luo Empire, he had intended to make an enemy of Tang Hao. He was also a heaven-sent genius, and he had even been willing to give him an Immortal Herb to help him avenge himself personally.

With such a favor, it was no wonder Yang Wudi had pledged allegiance to him.

Beside him, Zhu Zhuqing looked at him with eyes full of adoration. Her man was so incredible—she truly admired him!

"Your Highness, let's set out at once."

Yang Wudi said impatiently.

"Mm. Since you're in such a hurry, let's go."

Dai Mubai replied calmly.

Immortal Herbs were undoubtedly an enormous opportunity for them.

Just then, Niu Ben rushed in, looking utterly disheveled.

"Ben! What happened to you?"

Niu Gao saw that his son had been beaten into such a state.

His eyes instantly widened in fury as he hurried forward to support Niu Ben.

Dai Mubai's gaze flickered as he watched Niu Ben.

With Niu Ben's defensive power, not even a Soul Emperor could have beaten him this badly.

Was the attacker a Soul Saint?

"Cough, cough... Father... someone wants to see... see His Highness."

Niu Ben was in terrible condition.

As he spoke, blood kept spilling from the corners of his mouth.

"They injured... several of our... cough, cough... clansmen... and among them... there's even a Soul Douluo..."

"What?"

Hearing this, Niu Gao's fury surged.

Someone actually...

Had come looking to cause trouble for them!

They had injured several of his clansmen and even beaten his son into this state!

If Niu Ben was already this badly hurt, the others were likely in even worse condition.

"They must be Dai Weisi's men."

Su Xiong stated with certainty.

The only person who had a grudge against Dai Mubai was Dai Weisi.

"Hahaha! I didn't expect you to be quite clever, Su Xiong."

At that moment, a burst of laughter rang out.

Several figures strode directly through the doorway.

Clearly, they had followed Niu Ben all the way inside.

The atmosphere immediately grew tense.

Su Xiong stepped forward and glared viciously at the group before him.

Niu Gao also glared at them furiously. "It was you who injured my clansmen?"

So what if they had a Soul Douluo?

Wasn't he, Niu Gao, a Soul Douluo as well?

However, when Su Xiong saw the face of the man leading them, his expression changed sharply.

"It's actually you, General Divine Eagle?!"

Within the Star Luo Empire, there was only one Grand Marshal, along with eight Titled Generals.

Among the eight Titled Generals, General Divine Eagle ranked in the middle.

His strength was far from weak.

An eighty-fourth-rank Soul Douluo!

Dai Mubai also revealed a look of surprise.

Although he had left the Imperial Capital for several years, some things remained deeply engraved in his mind and had never been forgotten.

For instance, the Eight Great Generals were renowned figures.

He had not expected someone like this to serve Dai Weisi. It seemed that no one in the Imperial Capital thought highly of him.

Dai Mubai squeezed Zhu Zhuqing's tense little hand, signaling that she needn't worry.

Zhu Zhuqing was not worried. She was merely excited—at last, they were about to confront Dai Weisi.

Her cat claws were already itching for action.

"What General Divine Eagle!"

Niu Gao merely snorted coldly, and the Soul Power around him instantly erupted.

He stepped forward and threw a punch straight at General Divine Eagle.

The immense Soul Power accompanied the punch, and an Astral Wind rushed straight at him.

Niu Gao was about to avenge his clansmen!

However, he had not expected Niu Gao's attack to erupt so quickly, yet General Divine Eagle effortlessly dodged it.

Niu Gao's attack did not even touch the corner of General Divine Eagle's clothes!

At that moment, a Soul Saint standing behind General Divine Eagle spoke in a mocking tone.

"Well, if it isn't our Third Prince. What's this? You've returned to the Star Luo Empire, yet you didn't even come visit His Highness?"

The Soul Saint's tone instantly enraged Su Xiong beside him.

Dai Mubai was displeased as well.

No matter the occasion, foul-mouthed people were always the ones others most wanted to kill!

They might not be able to hurt you, but they could sure disgust you.

Without needing Dai Mubai's command, Su Xiong charged out in fury.

"Zhou Chuanming! You're courting death!"

Eight Soul Rings instantly appeared behind Su Xiong.

Blood Shadow Flash was unleashed at once.

Su Xiong was not like that Niu Dali.

Among Su Xiong's eight Soul Rings, he had quite a few offensive soul skills.

Blood Shadow Thrust, paired with Blood Shadow Flash, was enough to severely wound this Soul Saint.

"What? Su Xiong, you actually... broke through to Soul Douluo??"

Zhou Chuanming's face immediately drained of color.

How was that possible? He was merely a Royal Guard; even becoming a Soul Saint had required medicinal assistance.

He himself was a genius heavily nurtured by His Highness Dai Weisi, yet he had not broken through to Soul Douluo.

How could that piece of trash possibly do it?

He was incomparably jealous.

But right now, what he needed most was to flee!

However, the other party was so fast that despair welled up in his heart, and the scent of death gradually enveloped him.

"Clang!"

But in the next instant, Su Xiong's move was directly blocked by another Soul Douluo.
