The Great Battle Loomed

After hearing Qian Xunji's words, how could the father not know what kind of person Yu Yuanzhen was towards his eldest son?

Such a cowardly person, who would probably struggle even to take on a four-hundred-year-old Mandala Snake alone, how could he possibly volunteer to be a suicide squad member on Sea God Island?

Yu Luomian, standing to the side, seemed completely out of sorts.

Is it really possible for my own daughter to be this brave for her cousin?

Something's not right, absolutely not right!

Last time, when Yu Xiaogang took her back to the sect to deliver the invitation to the theoretical competition, both sides should have known that they were cousins.

Surely they wouldn't know they were blood relatives and still insist on playing incestuous roles together, would they?

Yu Luomian felt a chill run down her spine, and she chuckled inwardly, 'Impossible, absolutely impossible!'

Seeing that Yu Yuanzhen was about to lash out with a dark expression, Qian Xunji raised her hand to interrupt his spellcasting.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush. To show my sincerity, I've also sent Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of our Spirit Hall Pope."

Upon hearing that the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall had also perished on the island, Yu Yuanzhen's anger subsided considerably, and he felt much better.

Unexpectedly Qian Xunji then added with a smile:

"And speaking of which, our Holy Maiden is completely enamored with your short-haired guy. Who knows, maybe in the future, our Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will be in-laws."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ye, Dai Tianfeng, and Ning Fengzhi, who had been watching the show, all turned to look at Yu Yuanzhen, their three meaningful gazes fixed on him.

Yu Yuanzhen felt a chill run down his spine from being stared at so intently, as if he were sitting on pins and needles, and in his heart he cursed Qian Xunji to the core.

This newly risen thing is deliberately stirring up hatred in front of all the major powers, putting him in a very difficult position!

Compared to the group of people each with their own agendas, Tang Chen didn't care about these complicated details at all.

He just felt an unbearable itch to fight.

A strong premonition told him that a great opportunity for him must be hidden on Sea God Island.

But Tang Chen wasn't stupid; going alone to a place where there was a high possibility of divine inheritance was far too risky. He had previously considered finding Qian Daoliu to accompany him so they could go ahead of time.

Qian Xunji then said, "Ah, my old Deng seems to be... a bit dead... cough cough, I mean, he seems to be in seclusion."

When questioned, Qian Xunji remained expressionless and made up a story.

Tang Chen inwardly scoffed. "They're already level 99, what's the point of going into seclusion?"

In this era, there was no distinction between Quasi-Demigod, Demigod, and Quasi-God, which only came into existence in later generations; level ninety-nine was already the limit.

Unable to find Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, being a naturally selfish Tang Family, was naturally unwilling to lead the charge alone and pave the way for others. For now, he could only suppress his temper and wait for the main force of the allied army to carry him forward.

"Your His Holiness the Pope, have you interrogated the people from Sea God Island and ascertained their strength and capabilities?"

Xue Ye broke the awkward silence by speaking up. He said he didn't intend to interfere in the private affairs between the younger generation of the two families for the time being. If things got really bad, he would just let them perish on Sea God Island and settle the matter once and for all.

Under the gaze of the Xue Ye, Qian Xunji the guards outside the palace to bring the Sea Soul Master over.

This Sea Soul Master had already been controlled by Qian Xunji using illusion magic.

Since acquiring the Ultimate Darkness, Qian Xunji has found that his mastery of illusion has advanced by leaps and bounds. He feels that he is now a well-deserved Grandwet of illusion, even surpassing the illusion he used to deal with Dongzi and Gangzi in his previous life.

"Don't worry, everyone. The Spirit Hall has already interrogated him, and he wouldn't dare to lie."

This Sea Soul Master recounted the details of Sea God Island in detail:

"Sea God Island is protected by the Demon Soul Beast Demon Soul Great White Shark beasts. Seven cities have been built on the island, each governed by a Titled Douluo."

"Each city has five hundred Sea Soul Master Sea God Warrior, totaling three thousand five hundred Soul Master across the seven cities. This does not include retired Sea God Warrior or ordinary people. Sea Soul Master are significantly stronger in the sea than land-based Soul Master."

Following Qian Xunji's prior instructions, this Sea Soul Master concealed the existence of the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, Xiao Bai, and the High Priestess, Bo Saixi, and reported what was basically the entire fighting force of Sea God Island.

Qian Xunji knew very well that Bo Saixi could mobilize the Sea God Divine Power on Sea God Island, and even use the divine skills left behind by the Sea God. This was similar to how his old man Deng could summon the Angel Divine Power within the Spirit Hall's territory.

Bo Saixi and the 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark were deadly moves against the continental alliance. He couldn't wait to see Bo Saixi stir up waves to kill the alliance after the war started, and those who didn't die would be fed to the Hundred-Thousand-Year Sea Soul Beast, forcing both sides to fight to the death in a spectacular display.

After the guards took the Sea Soul Master away after giving him his instructions, Dai Tianfeng was still in shock. "An island with so many Soul Master?"

It should be understood that although the two great empires had armies of millions, they were ultimately just ordinary people.

Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, the total number of all Soul Master combined is less than six figures, which is less than 100,000, and the Spirit Hall alone accounts for 70% of them.

Seeing that the emperors of the two great empires were somewhat apprehensive, Qian Xunji the opportunity to paint a rosy picture for them:

"Your Majesties might consider this carefully: an island with a history of less than 20,000 years has over 3,000 Soul Master. How vast must that be? And they are just an island! Wouldn't it be wonderful if we 'borrowed' their resources to serve the Empire?"

A simple sentence struck a chord with both emperors.

The hesitation in Xue Ye and Dai Tianfeng's eyes slowly faded. Could it be that the two great empires couldn't even take over an island? Don't make me laugh.

"What are you afraid of! My Clear Sky Hammer is invincible! I, an old man, will handle Titled Douluo. Do as you please."

Tang Chen arrogantly declared that he wasn't afraid of even seven Super Douluo, let alone the fact that they were only Titled Douluo. The seven of them combined wouldn't be enough for him to take down in a few hits.

Ning Fengzhi standing nearby, immediately seized the opportunity and said with a smile, "In that case, I'll rely on Senior Tang Chen."

Seeing that Tang Chen had put it this way, the two emperors finally felt relieved. Now that they had gathered the most powerful forces on the entire continent, they might as well go for it.

"Wait! But Xiao Gang and the others are still in their hands."

Yu Yuanzhen tried to stop him, but Qian Xunji had an even louder voice and patted his chest with righteous indignation:

"What are you saying, Sect Master Yu? My Holy Maiden is also in their hands. Did I say anything? Sacrificing one person for the benefit of millions, I, Qian Xunji, am the first to agree to start the fight immediately."

"Hahaha, Your His Holiness the Pope great righteousness, Fengzhi supports you!"

Ning Fengzhi loudly, and Tang Chen and the two emperors nodded in agreement, since it wasn't their people who were going to die anyway.

Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian were furious, but they couldn't stop the allied forces from sending troops.

The current situation doesn't matter much to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. The two secretly planned that if the person was still alive when the two armies actually started fighting, they would seize the opportunity to rescue them.

With the agreement settled, the Sea Soul Master who had been brainwashed by the illusion magic quickly returned to Sea God Island with a message, claiming that the Spirit Hall agreed to the exchange and would soon prepare generous gifts to come to the island to redeem the hostage.

The Sacred Pillar Guardian believed it to be true and eagerly awaited the ransom. However, they waited on the island for a whole month without receiving any news.

Over this period of time, Yu Xiaogang's voice echoed day and night within the prison of Sea God Island.

Every day, in front of Liu Erlong and Bibi Dong in the opposite cell, he was dragged along by Brother Jie and the other three to study Martial Soul Theory.

The two women in the cell next to each other went from initial anger to helplessness, and now to numbness. Only Flender, who was pretending to be dead, continued to sleep peacefully.

Until one morning, the tranquility of Sea God Island was shattered by the urgent sounds of enemy attacks.
