Chapter 2450: Dai Yun'er's Decision_1
Bi Ji bit her teeth, but still proposed, "Your Majesty, the Titan Ape and the Azure Oxpython haven't arrived yet. If this continues, once the Ten Thousand Beast Platform collapses, we will all be trapped inside!"
"We should evacuate first!"
She knew the Ten Thousand Beast Platform was vital for the revival of the Soul Beast Clan, but if all the ferocious beasts, including Gu Yuena, were to fall here, it would all be meaningless!
Gu Yuena snapped, "Hold on everyone, if the Ten Thousand Beast Platform collapses, the Titan Ape and the Azure Oxpython will definitely sense it. They must be coming at full speed!"
Seeing her say this, Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts also dared not stop. They bore the pressure and maintained the space, trying to slow down the rate of collapse as much as possible…
Meanwhile, the Soul Masters who were stuck inside the Ten Thousand Beast Platform and completely unaware of what was happening, showed panic-stricken expressions…
"What...what's happening? Why is the space of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform starting to collapse!"
"What? Aren't we going to be trapped inside the Ten Thousand Beast Platform? No way, we must escape from here quickly!"
"It's impossible, I've already tried. I simply can't leave the Ten Thousand Beast Platform and return to the real world. We're all going to die here!"
"It's not that we can't leave, it's that my Soul Power is too weak to forcibly open the exit to the real world!"
Following these words, they immediately started to flee in different directions…
But it was all meaningless…
With the space collapsing, the entire Ten Thousand Beast Platform had been divided into several sections. Without great strength, it was impossible to cross the blockage…
All they could do was watch helplessly as the space cracks came closer and closer…
Just then, the hundred-meter-tall Titan Ape and the Azure Oxpython suddenly appeared and immediately burst out with tremendous power, forcibly pulling the space cracks back together…
The Soul Masters were scared stiff and instinctively turned their gaze toward them…
Exclaiming, "This...is this the legendary Titan Ape and Azure Oxpython? They actually live within the Ten Thousand Beast Platform!"
"No...no way? They're beings from tens of thousands of years ago. These two ferocious beasts could just be fabrications by the Spirit Pagoda based on records!"
"But...they really did save us. The terrifying aura they're emitting doesn't seem fake!"
The Titan Ape said impatiently, "Big brother, why do we have to save these humans? Wouldn't it be better to let them stay here forever?"
The Azure Oxpython didn't speak but looked down at the Soul Masters below…
He had no intention of saving the humans; he just didn't want their blood to stain this heaven and earth!!
Immediately after, a roar erupted, and a violent tremor instantly exploded. The Soul Masters affected by it only felt their vision go dark as they fell to the ground and lost consciousness…
Then it turned and said, "Let's go, Gu Yuena and the others might not be able to hold on much longer!"
The Titan Ape opened its mouth but finally nodded…
For now, the priority was to stabilize the Ten Thousand Beast Platform!
…
In the Xingluo Empire, within the imperial palace!
One of the warriors bowed down and reported with utmost respect, "Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, according to the messages sent by the Soul Masters we dispatched to surveil, the Douling Empire has begun to take action!"
Dai Yueyan, sitting on the throne, showed a look of expectation...
"As I thought, the Douling Empire has its own agenda!"
After a pause, he spoke again, "Tell me, what exactly has the Douling Empire done!"
Upon hearing this, the warrior answered truthfully, "The Douling Empire has started to produce a large number of soul tools, and has distributed them to each warrior. They have also secretly sent a Vanguard Unit to the Douluo Continent, but their specific goal is unknown!"
Dai Yueyan's eyes narrowed, "A Vanguard Unit sent secretly? Could it be to obtain news from the Douluo Continent at the earliest opportunity?"
```
No, it can't be that simple!
The ministers exchanged glances, evidently sharing the same thoughts...
They spoke in unison, "Your Majesty the Emperor, in the view of your servants, the Douling Empire harbors malice, and this is very likely a prelude to their actions against the Douluo Continent!"
"Indeed, last time the Douling Empire even dared to sideline our envoys from the Xingluo Empire, they have never done such a thing before!"
"Most suspicious of all is how advanced the soul tool technology of the Douling Empire is; they must have cooperated with some power!"
Dai Yueyan said with a heavy voice, "The ministers have a point, no matter what Douling Empire's intentions are, we cannot let them succeed!!"
After a pause, he continued, "Go, dispatch another legion to the Douluo Continent to intercept the Douling Empire's troops, and if there's any sign of treachery, strike them immediately!"
The ministers nodded slightly, "Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor!"
With these words, they had essentially torn their facades with the Douling Empire...
Of course, they were also clear that this was to figure out the extent of Douling Empire's confidence!
After these arrangements, Dai Yueyan scanned the room and inquired, "By the way, where is the Imperial Tutor?"
Luna had the answer to this question...
"Reporting to Your Majesty the Emperor, the Imperial Tutor has already led a portion of the troops to support the Douluo Continent as you commanded. By now, he should have already arrived!"
The former pursed his lips slightly, "Hmm, with the Imperial Tutor leading the legions, I can be at ease!"
However, his gaze inadvertently caught sight of a familiar figure outside the palace...
Subtly waving his hand, he said, "That's all for today, everyone is dismissed!"
The ministers gave a sign and then left successively...
At this moment, Dai Yueyan spoke up, "Yun'er, the ministers have left, come in!"
Dai Yun'er, who had been hiding outside the palace, walked in, her eyes brimming with unshed tears, her pupils unable to hide the color of desolation...
Upon seeing her clearly, Dai Yueyan's heart softened abruptly, and with a tender voice, he said, "Yun'er, why are you crying? Is it because of Xu Sheng?"
What charm did Xu Sheng possess, to still make his sister so distraught and lost even after his death!
The latter shook her head, denying it, "No!"
But it looked completely unconvincing...
Dai Yueyan sighed, "Silly sister, you can fool me but not your own heart."
"Xu Sheng is dead, and there is no need to waste time on a dead person. Our Xingluo Empire has so many talented young men; there must be one who is suitable for you!"
"How about this, I will look for a suitor for you tomorrow, and you will get married as soon as possible. I believe our father's spirit in heaven would also be at peace!"
Dai Yun'er's expression remained unaltered, "I'm sorry, brother, I'm not in the mood for this right now!"
Dai Yueyan didn't force the issue but asked, "Then what brings you here?"
A flicker of emotion suddenly appeared in her beautiful eyes, "Brother, I want to leave the imperial palace!"
Dai Yueyan was momentarily taken aback and pondered, "Leave the imperial palace for a stroll? That might be good, to change your mood!"
Dai Yun'er took a deep breath, "No... Brother, what I mean is, I want to leave this place forever and no longer be a princess of the Xingluo Empire!!"
