Chapter 686 Betrayal (Please Subscribe)_1

Tang Wutong's pinkish-purple eyes suddenly lost focus as she blankly asked, "How could... How could this happen?"

She had only just left Qian Yu not long ago, yet members of Sea God's Pavilion had already lost nearly half their personnel, and their soul power ranks were basically that of Hyper Douluo!

Yan Shaozhe's complexion darkened as he said, "Hmm! Fan Yu and the others were trapped in an ambush at Mingde Hall, surrounded by Long Xiaoyao and his people. In their dying moments, they destroyed the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy with Ninth-Grade Soul Guided Shells."

Xian Lin'er's expression was somber as she said, "However, the Sky Soul Empire and Xingluo Empire have still been destroyed, and now the Sun-Moon Empire only lacks a ceremony to unite the Continent..."

Xuan Ziwen sighed, "But we have already done what we could... We went to the Sun-Moon Empire yesterday and successfully killed Long Xiaoyao who had attacked Fan Yu and the others..."

Qian Yu narrowed her eyes and thought to herself, "Does that mean the Sun-Moon Empire now has only Ye Xishui, an Ultimate Douluo left?"

Xuan Zi's eyes clouded as he hoarsely said, "After the Sun-Moon Empire unifies the Continent, our situation at Shrek Academy will become very grim..."

Worry clouded Tang Wutong's beautiful eyes. "What should we do then? Are we not going to stop them?"

Xuan Ziwen gave a wry smile, shaking his head as he explained, "At this point, stopping the Sun-Moon Empire from unifying is basically impossible. Even if Marshal Juzi, who commands the Sun-Moon Empire, were killed, it wouldn't help the situation."

Seeing Xuan Ziwen speak thusly, Tang Wutong pursed her lips and said no more...

...

Within the imperial palace of the Sun-Moon Empire...

Marshal Juzi, sitting on the imperial throne, swept her icy gaze across the faces of the Imperial Ministers below...

Then, she turned to the reporting Soul Master and coldly said, "What's the situation with the Sky Soul Empire and Xingluo Empire?"

The respectful Soul Master reported, "Marshal Juzi, Blazing Sun Douluo and Wind Douluo have both sent messengers to report that they have successfully occupied the Xingluo and Sky Soul Empires, but..."

Before he could finish, the ministers below excitedly said, "Congratulations to Marshal Juzi on successfully unifying the Continent!!"

"Now, with your coronation ceremony, you will be the true ruler of the entire Continent!"

"You have created a myth in history, the first to unify the Continent!!"

"We will always follow Marshal Juzi, towards a better future for the Continent!"

Juzi's brows furrowed slightly, her expression gradually showing displeasure...

Seeing the somber silence from Juzi above, the Imperial Ministers below swallowed hard and then shut their mouths...

Juzi calmly said again, "Continue!"

The Soul Master carefully continued, "But... But Blazing Sun Douluo and Wind Douluo believe they are the heroes of this war, questioning why a mere woman dares to stand above them. Thus, they have decided to declare themselves emperors and no longer wish to be under your command..."

After finishing his words, the Soul Master hastily knelt down, shaking as he said, "Marshal Juzi, I truly did not want to say those words. I was only conveying their message. I am utterly loyal to the Sun-Moon Empire and to you, Marshal Juzi!"

Juzi's expression darkened as if she was about to drip with malice, her grip tightening as she coldly said, "Heh, which means, both these troops have betrayed me, is that right?!!"

She had calculated everything, but she had never imagined that she would be betrayed at this final step. It was as if it signified that all her efforts had been in vain!!

Now that Mingde Hall was destroyed and there were no Ninth Grade Soul Guidance Cannons left, there was no way to conduct long-range strikes...

The other Imperial Ministers too were extremely distressed, after all, who would have anticipated such a mess!

In their impression, Wind Douluo and Blazing Sun Douluo hadn't shown the slightest hint of ambition before launching the war!

But unexpectedly, they had no sooner occupied the Xingluo Empire and the Sky Soul Empire than they immediately bared their fangs!

Therefore, they condemned in unison, "Blazing Sun Douluo and Wind Douluo have actually committed such an act of treason!! I think we must execute them!"

A minister beside them said with a wry smile, "Mingde Hall was destroyed by members of Sea God's Pavilion not long ago, and now the whereabouts of the Hongchen Hall Master are unknown, plus the only remaining elite troops of our Sun-Moon Empire have been split up. We simply don't have any Soul Masters capable of launching an effective attack…"

"Doesn't that mean we are now just an empty shell with no ability to resist??"

"Damn it! How could things have turned out this way!"

"Marshal Ju Zi, what should we do now?"

Having heard the discussions of these ministers, Ju Zi took a deep breath and slowly stood up from the throne…

Subsequently, a few streaks of ruthlessness appeared in her beautiful eyes as she coldly declared, "Enough! Now, gather all the remaining Soul Masters of the Sun-Moon Empire for me!"

If people like Blazing Sun Douluo dared to betray her, then there was no need for her to have any more reservations in her heart…

Now that unifying the Continent was no longer possible, her goal had become to ensure that only the Sun-Moon Empire would remain!

As for other Soul Masters and civilians that might be destroyed alongside, that would be their fate…

Hearing Ju Zi say this, every minister's face grew darker…

It was clear they all interpreted her move as an attempt to use these remaining Sun-Moon Empire Soul Masters to defeat the elite troops equipped with high-grade soul tools—a sheer fantasy!!

It seemed that their meticulous-minded Marshal Ju Zi had also reached a dead end…

…

Following that, the two elite troops of the original Sun-Moon Empire that had occupied the Sky Soul Empire and the Xingluo Empire also received the message…

Wind Douluo was seen sitting on the throne of the Sky Soul Empire, legs crossed, with a hint of leisure in his tone, "This throne is really comfortable; no wonder a woman once seated would start to take herself seriously!"

Suddenly, a Soul Master walked into the great hall with a face full of reverence and said, "Your Majesty Wind Douluo, I have a report!"

Feeling very pleased, Wind Douluo waved his hand and commanded, "Speak!"

The Soul Master began, "Your Majesty Wind Douluo, that Marshal Ju Zi actually dared to send someone to threaten us, saying that if we don't end this farce voluntarily, they won't show any more mercy!"

Wind Douluo had yet to speak when his Soul Masters all burst into laughter…

"They're clearly making a joke of themselves; the Sun-Moon Empire no longer has any Soul Master Troops capable of waging war, just a bunch of small fry at best!"

"Indeed, we elite Soul Masters are all here and in the Xingluo Empire. I've heard that the Blazing Sun Douluo also wants to proclaim himself emperor!"

Licking his lips, Wind Douluo said with disdain, "Tsk, such matters need not be reported in the future. A woman who's at most a bit clever plus an empty shell of an empire still dares to threaten me?"

Without the Mingde Hall and the Soul Master Troops, what significance did this woman hold?

How dare she dictate to him??
