Sun-Moon Empire, within the grand hall...
Seated on the throne, Marshal Ju Zi's cold and beautiful eyes swept over the ministers below...
Immediately, she asked expressionlessly, "Where are the Blazing Sun Douluo and the Wind Douluo?"
If it hadn't been for the pitiful scarcity of Hyper Douluos in the Sun-Moon Empire, she would never have chosen to deploy those two wastes to command the empire's elite troops...
After all, the fact that the Soul Master troops they led could be easily crushed in a situation that should have guaranteed victory spoke volumes about their capabilities...
One of the ministers below cautiously reported, "Marshal Ju Zi, as per your orders, the Blazing Sun Douluo and Wind Douluo are currently reorganizing the elite Soul Master troops and should soon launch an attack on the other two great empires..."
The other ministers chimed in, "Surely this time, we can annihilate the other two great empires in one fell swoop!"
"Exactly, Marshal Ju Zi's long-cherished wish to unify the Continent will soon be realized!"
"The other two great empires are in such a state and still want to stubbornly resist. As long as we use the Ninth Grade Soul Guidance Cannons..."
Just as this minister had not finished his words, a Soul Master with a face full of trepidation slowly walked into the grand hall and bowed, "Report! Marshal Ju Zi, I have something urgent to convey!"
Marshal Ju Zi's beautiful eyes narrowed at him as she said coldly, "What is it, speak!"
The Soul Master swallowed nervously and began, "Marshal Ju Zi, according to our spies' observation, a huge explosion occurred within the Xingluo Empire's territory. The entire Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy has been leveled by this terrifying blast!"
With these words, all the ministers inhaled sharply, then burst into a chorus of angry rebukes...
"What?? How could this happen!?"
"Who on earth did this? To dare commit such an act! Where is Mirror Dust, that man?"
"As the head of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy, he couldn't even protect it!!"
Ju Zi's gaze grew even colder; any minister caught by her scrutiny felt as if plunged into an ice cellar...
Suppressing the fury in her heart, she bit her thin lips and said, "So... you're saying all the Ninth-Grade Soul Guided Shells within Mingde Hall were destroyed too?"
Without the Ninth-Grade Soul Guided Shells, the Sun-Moon Empire was undoubtedly a tiger stripped of its fangs!
This meant that the other two great empires now had the capital to rebel!!
The fearful Soul Master bowed his head and said with a trembling voice, "Yes... that's correct, Marshal Ju Zi!"
Just as the atmosphere in the grand hall had plunged into an eerie silence, Long Xiaoyao, covered in injuries, was walking in with great difficulty...
After coughing a few times he said, "Cough cough... it was those members of Sea God's Pavilion who made their move..."
Upon seeing Long Xiaoyao in such a miserable state, Ye Xishui's eyes suddenly narrowed, and she rushed to his side with the utmost haste...
With concern, she asked, "Xiaoyao, how did you get so badly hurt?"
Throughout the entire Continent, there shouldn't have been anyone who could have inflicted such severe injuries on him!
Long Xiaoyao looked at Ye Xishui before him and said, "Hmm, I was careless..."
And the other ministers, seeing that Long Xiaoyao, the level-99 Ultimate Douluo was hurt to this extent, started discussing among themselves...
"To be able to injure Guest Elder Long Xiaoyao, could it be that the opponent is also an Ultimate Douluo?"
"Improbable. Although the Sea God Pavilion Master is an Ultimate Douluo, it's unlikely she would risk attacking while the academy is under threat..."
"Are you suggesting there's another reason? But no matter how much I think, I can't figure out an enemy capable of injuring Guest Elder Long Xiaoyao like this."
Hearing this from her throne, Ju Zi's eyes narrowed slightly, and with a hint of interrogation, she said, "Members of Sea God's Pavilion? Guest Elder Long Xiaoyao, what exactly happened?"
Long Xiaoyao's murky eyes coalesced with a cold chill as he spoke, "Those members of Sea God's Pavilion teamed up with people from the Sky Soul Empire, six Hyper Douluos and one Title Douluo, seeking an opportunity to destroy Mingde Hall!"
"After that..."
Once he had finished explaining, everyone present had a sudden moment of realization...
These four members of Sea God's Pavilion actually gambled with their lives just to destroy the level-9 soul cannonballs, which was absolutely insane!
And yet, Marshal Ju Zi's beautiful eyes flickered a few times as she thought to herself, "So that means, they succeeded in killing six Hyper Douluos and one Title Douluo..."
By this count, although it was difficult for the Sun-Moon Empire to bombard with level-9 soul guidance cannons anymore, the Sky Soul Empire almost had no Hyper Douluo-level experts left, and a Title Douluo would be useless in front of their elite troops equipped with advanced soul tools!
This also meant that no matter how the Sky Soul Empire people resisted, they wouldn't have a chance of winning!
The only concern now was just the Xingluo Empire!
...
In the Xingluo Empire, inside the grand hall...
One could see Yan Shaozhe and two other members of Sea God's Pavilion, along with the Daijin from the Sky Soul Empire, all taking their seats...
And seated upon the throne was none other than Duke White Tiger...
A bowing Soul Master spoke respectfully, "Reporting to Duke White Tiger, we've received a message from the Sky Soul Empire..."
"It seems that the four members of Sea God's Pavilion who were assisting them, along with three Hyper Douluos from the Sky Soul Empire, went to the Sun-Moon Empire to destroy Mingde Hall, but the end result was mutual destruction..."
"Although they successfully destroyed Mingde Hall and the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy, all seven experts perished!"
As the words fell, the pupils of everyone in the palace suddenly tightened...
After a moment, Yan Shaozhe became as agitated as if he had gone mad, "It's impossible! There must be a mistake! How could anything happen to six Hyper Douluos and one Title Douluo!!"
Beside him, Xian Lin'er and Xuan Ziwen's eyes were somewhat numb...
They all found it difficult to believe this intelligence...
Dai Hao's gaze turned toward the Soul Master, and he said with a cold voice, "Are you certain the news is true?? If there's deception..."
The Soul Master's heart raced, and he hurriedly explained, "Duke White Tiger, every word I've said is utterly accurate, that's exactly what the Soul Master from the Sky Soul Empire reported!"
Seeing this, Dai Hao fell silent and did not again attack the three members of Sea God's Pavilion sitting before him...
As for the other Daijin, they began to discuss among themselves...
"Last time we from the Xingluo Empire and the Sky Soul Empire sent out eight Hyper Douluos who were all killed, and now this time..."
"How exactly did the Sun-Moon Empire manage this..."
"Damn it! So you're saying... if the Sky Soul Empire faces another attack, they will have no ability to fight back?"
Dai Hao gave them all a glare and snapped, "Shut up!"
Yan Shaozhe took a deep breath, his expression dark as he said, "I need to go out and clear my head..."
With those words, he directly ignored Dai Hao and the other Daijin, turned around, and left the palace...
Xian Lin'er and Xuan Ziwen could also understand this sort of pain and followed silently without a word...
