A Sudden Upheaval

Yu Tianshuang, can't you have any self-respect? You were just looking down on the world, so arrogant and domineering, but now you're all over Shui Bing'er at her beck and call. Seriously, you act all high and mighty towards me, like you're the strongest in the world. It's really...

Qian Renxue, who had been deep in thought just moments before, exuded an aura of immense power, aura honed by the fierce momentum of his single strike that annihilated an army of two hundred thousand. Yet, with a mere wave of Shui Bing'er's hand, he...

"This blemish..."

Huo Wu by everyone's stares, Huo Wu noticed the scene and was equally furious. How dare Shui Bing'er order him around like that? And Yu Tianshuang, couldn't she have any self-respect...?

She? This fire-attribute Soul Master who's not quite right in the head, oh right, she also likes Yu Tianshuang. She almost died for Yu Tianshuang back in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, hmm... and most importantly, she and Shui Bing'er don't get along, which is something we can use.

Qian Renxue looked at Huo Wu sulking Huo Wu, stepped forward with a generous smile, and extended her hand, saying in a friendly manner, "Hello, Huo Wu, is that you? I've often heard people talk about you. You're the strongest among the younger generation of the Spirit Hall besides Yu Tianshuang. Seeing you in action today, it's clear you're not exaggerating. That move... Great Blaze Heaven Piercer, right? It turned at least ten thousand enemies to ashes. It truly lives up to its reputation. My name is Qian Renxue, let's get acquainted."

Huo Wu's eyes immediately lit up with pride. She raised her head, nodded, and replied matter-of-factly, "Of course! You're pretty good too. I can tell your strength is no less than mine. By the way, who told you that? You admire me so much. I never thought I, Huo Wu, would have someone who speaks so highly of me."

Qian Renxue's beautiful face froze instantly. Fortunately, she had been the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire for many years, so she still had some quick thinking. "Hmm... this person is an Elder of Judgment like me. We're not very familiar with each other, we've only met a few times in the Worship Hall. I really can't remember his name. But think about it, your reputation has already spread to the Worship Hall. Apart from the Elders of Judgment, everyone there is a Level 95 or higher. I really admire you for that, unlike that Shui Bing'er, who is just all talk and no action. I didn't see her kill many enemies today, right?"

Qian Renxue gave a natural explanation, then took the opportunity to praise Huo Wu again, and finally got to the point, steer the conversation towards Shui Bing'er.

Huo Wu, as if she had met a kindred spirit, her eyes shining brightly with both heroic spirit and Wumei, nodded vigorously. She glanced furtively at Shui Bing'er, who was being carried into the tent by Yu Tianshuang, before saying magnanimously, "Of course! Shui Bing'er only knows about this scoundrel because of Yu Tianshuang's protection. Everyone's just giving him face. Otherwise, who would know about such an annoying person? You have good taste! Not bad at all! I, Huo Wu, am determined to be your friend. Come on, I'll introduce you to Sister Na and the others. The three of us will be a team from now on..."

She was about to pull Qian Renxue to find Hu Liena when Qian Renxue's face stiffened again. She subtly dodged Huo Wu's Huo Wu hand, then put on a troubled expression and said, "Sigh... there's been some misunderstanding. You saw it yourself that day. Because of our differing political views, Holy Maiden Hu Liena and I had a bit of a falling out. Let's not go there yet. I'm afraid she won't like me..."

Qian Renxue now understands the situation of the women around Yu Tianshuang. First of all, there are Huo Wu and Hu Liena. These two are in Huo Wu. Given Huo Wu's silly personality, Hu Liena is probably using her to fight against Shui Bing'er.

Secondly, there are Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing, the two neutral parties. They don't belong to either group, but they are definitely closer to Shui Bing'er, who is also from the Skywater Academy. As for Shui Bing'er, she doesn't seem to care about Huo Wu and Hu Liena, who consider her a rival, and is acting like the matriarch of the family. Shui Bing'er needs to take advantage of this...

Huo Wu a little blank, but quickly pretended to understand and said, "Oh, oh, I see. Although I didn't pay much attention to what you were saying at the time, you said it was a misunderstanding, right? Sister Na such a good person, you'll definitely be able to make up. But what you said makes sense. Then I'll see Sister Na for now. By the way, when you were in the sky just now, did you notice how many enemies Shui Bing'er killed? Was it more than me?"

"Of course, it's not as good as yours, Huo Wu. Your Huo Wu skills are far superior to Shui Bing'er's." Qian Renxue now somewhat regretful. She hadn't anticipated Huo Wu's personality. She had originally thought Huo Wu was just a silly girl who could be easily fooled, but she hadn't expected this girl to be so difficult to deal with. Talking to her was exhausting...

"Oh, I see. You're so amazing, Sister Angel! It's so nice chatting with you. Come on, let's go to my tent. We'll sleep together tonight and have a good talk."

She was Huo Wu with compliments, making Huo Wu feel almost floaty. As the night grew darker, Huo Wu was still full of Huo Wu. She felt like she had met this beautiful and kind-hearted golden-haired woman too late in life.

"Ahem... Well, I think it's better not to. The main thing is, I'm actually a little injured and need to go back and rest..."

Qian Renxue, who had been gradually breaking down at the beginning, was now completely speechless. Seeing that she still wanted to talk to her all night, she quickly covered her chest, pretended to cough, and politely declined.

"Okay, then I won't disturb your rest, sister. Hehe, I had a really fun day, I need to go share it with Sister Na!"

With that, she skipped and hopped away. Watching Huo Wu's cheerful figure, Qian Renxue couldn't help but smile. Although talking to her was tiring, her innocent nature was truly endearing. No wonder Bibi Dong liked her so much...

"Go directly to the capital of the Star Luo Empire? That makes sense. Dai Weisi's father, the emperor, is already mentally unstable. I'm afraid even if this general sends someone to the capital, he won't find out anything. Senior Sister, you're right. Instead of wasting time here, we should take the initiative to attack. That way, we can avoid more casualties."

Back in the tent, he was first scolded by Shui Bing'er before they discussed the day's events. According to Shui Bing'er, if he sent this general back to the capital to gather information, it would most likely be fruitless. Then, facing the remaining 200,000 troops, would they just kill them all?

Then what's the difference between him and a butcher? What's the point of unifying the continent and allowing more people to live peaceful lives if there are no people left?

Shui Bing'er nodded. "Yes, you're not completely stupid. It seems you've figured it out too. Moreover, I deduce that there are definitely members of the Holy Spirit Cult here. As long as that general sends someone out, they will most likely be intercepted and killed. Therefore, it seems that taking the initiative to attack is the best choice since we don't know what the Holy Spirit Cult is plotting. And with our strength, we don't need to care about those two level 95 Titled Douluo from the Holy Spirit Cult."

When Shui Bing'er said those words, she exuded a strong sense of confidence, which was confidence in her own strength. Especially now that she had broken through to the Soul Douluo level and obtained a 100,000-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, she had gained an indescribable charm.

"Judging from my experience fighting Zhong Meng, the Holy Spirit Cult sent these 500,000 troops to their deaths because they wanted to use them to cultivate some evil magic or secret techniques. I acted impulsively today; these 200,000 troops shouldn't have been killed just to intimidate. I have a feeling that the conspiracy behind this is extremely vicious."

In fact, Yu Tianshuang did not intend to kill all 200,000 troops today. However, he did not expect that when he was in full power and with the blessing of the fifth layer of Tide of Condensed Snow, the Soul Skill granted by the Snow Empress's Soul Ring would be so powerful, completely exceeding his expectations.

"It's alright, you've learned your lesson. Besides, doing this did stop them from attacking, so you did a good job. Now, tell me, how do you want... your senior sister to reward you?"

Shui Bing'er pursed her sexy, rounded lips, her long, slender, fair hand gently touching Yu Tianshuang's thigh, her bright eyes now appearing alluring as if dripping with water.

"Gurgle... Senior Sister, any reward is fine, anything is fine, hehe..."

Swallowing hard, Yu Tianshuang looked at the breathtakingly beautiful woman before him and could no longer suppress the restlessness in his heart. He began to engage in the most primal battle between a man and a woman.

"Bang bang bang..."

As dawn broke, a deafening roar, like a giant hammer striking a wall, roused everyone from their dreams. Hu Liena, as the commander-in-chief of the battlefield, was almost the first to rush out of her tent to check the situation.

The massive ice wall that Yu Tianshuang had constructed using all her Soul Power was being violently struck from the outside, causing large chunks of ice to fall and crash to the ground.

"Have the people of the Star Luo Empire gone mad?"

Hu Liena was now fully awake, and the others gradually emerged from their tents, still half-asleep. The reason they dared to sleep so soundly was twofold: first, there was a temporary truce with the Star Luo Empire; second, and most importantly, the ice walls thrown by Yu Tianshuang were made of Ultimate Ice —a power capable of altering the landscape—that made them feel safe. But now, these ice walls were being relentlessly bombarded, and chunks of ice of varying sizes were falling from them.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Tianshuang is the Ultimate Ice. These ice walls are extremely difficult for even us, let alone ordinary people from the Star Luo Empire, to break through. How did they manage to do it?"

Hu Liena simply couldn't fathom how those people from the Star Luo Empire behind the ice wall could have accomplished this. Were they just ordinary people? Or were they just a thousand Soul Ancestor?

"It's... it's a monster... at least a hundred, no, two hundred, definitely several hundred, huge black monsters. I've never seen anything like it before. Their entire bodies emanate an aura of evil and an extremely dense deathly aura... as if they came from hell..."

Qian Renxue into the air and answered Hu Liena's question. What she saw from the air was that the outer edge of the ice wall was filled with black humanoid monsters, each about five meters tall. They had terrifying and ugly faces and bodies that exuded black death energy. Their huge fleshy sacs were punching the ice wall.

Behind them was a massive army of two hundred thousand from the Star Luo Empire, and a thousand Soul Master led by the Soul Emperor- level general in the center Qian Renxue keenly observed that these soldiers were surrounded by an unfamiliar aura that she found repulsive.

"It was the Holy Spirit Cult that made their move. They're not stupid after all; they probably guessed our plan and acted ahead of time. These surviving soldiers are likely under their control using some secret technique. As for these black monsters, I don't know how they created them. Qian Renxue, release your holy power on those ordinary soldiers and see if you can purify them!"

Shui Bing'er and Yu Tianshuang also took off at the same time. Looking at the scene below, which resembled a living hell, Shui Bing'er frowned and said to Qian Renxue.

"Alright!" Although Qian Renxue was very uncomfortable being ordered around, it was not the time to dwell on such things now. She nodded, gathered a pure and holy power in her hand, and unleashed it on the Star Luo Empire soldiers behind the black monster.

"Roar roar roar..."

An unexpected situation occurred. When Qian Renxue's divine power transformed into a rain of light and scattered upon the ordinary soldiers, it was as if they were being burned by flames; black smoke actually billowed from their bodies. Although Qian Renxue's attribute was divine fire, what she had just released was a very pure divine purifying power. How could this happen...?

"They're beyond saving. Since that's the case, let me finish them off and give them a release!"

Yu Tianshuang was extremely annoyed that her battle with her senior sister had just ended in the second round and she was preparing to rest before fighting again. She was about to be disturbed by them. Seeing that the ordinary soldiers of the Star Luo Empire had turned into the same state as when Zhong Meng was being treated by Lingling, she knew that they were beyond saving. Since that was the case, she had no choice but to give them a quick death.

"Don't rush, what's the rush? Why are you so angry? There are two hundred thousand lives down there. What's wrong with you? Didn't you finish your training in the Slaughter City? Why are you still so bloodthirsty... Bring Lingling up and let Lingling try. Anyway, these monsters can't break through your ice wall anytime soon. We don't need to be so indifferent to life. At least... we should try."

Shui Bing'er knew that he probably just felt the people of the Star Luo Empire below were beyond saving, which was why he wanted to help them escape their predicament, even though there might be some reason for him to be disturbed...

"Alright, I'll listen to you, Senior Sister." After saying that, Yu Tianshuang flapped her dragon wings and flew down towards Ye Lingling, who was pale-faced and being supported by Zhu Zhuqing.

"What's wrong, Lingling? You look so pale. What happened?"

Seeing Ye Lingling's pale face and the fact that she needed Zhu Zhuqing's support, Yu Tianshuang felt sorry for her and picked her up. She noticed that Ye Lingling had no injuries and her Soul Power was very abundant. She asked in confusion.

"Outside, it's all deathly still... It's so uncomfortable, I feel really unwell..."

Life and death are inherently opposites, and now the outside world is filled with those black monsters, making Ye Lingling, who possesses life Soul Power, feel so uncomfortable that she is almost suffocating.

"Hold on a little longer, try to purify the Star Luo Empire's soldiers. If you can't, Zhu Zhuqing, take Lingling and get out of here first..."

Seeing Ye Lingling in such distress, Yu Tianshuang wanted to let her leave right now, but there were two hundred thousand lives at stake outside. Even though she felt very sorry for Lingling, she had to try.

"Good..."

Ye Lingling knew that seeing Yu Tianshuang's distressed expression, she wanted to pretend that everything was fine, but she couldn't. She also knew how much determination he had made to take her outside, and she wanted to try to save him.
