Sun-Moon Empire! Soul Guidance Device Training Field!

The Wind Douluo, clad in armor, bore the aura of a great general as he slowly approached the soul master troops training with their soul guidance devices!

Upon seeing the Wind Douluo approaching, the soul masters stopped their activities and respectfully saluted, "Lord Kuangfeng!"

The Wind Douluo nodded without changing his expression and asked, "Hmm! How goes the training? Soul guidance devices are our Sun-Moon Empire's reliance to counter the other two great empires!"

The soul master captain stepped out of the ranks, bowed, and reported, "Report to Lord Kuangfeng, our soul master troop has already mastered the use of soul guidance devices safely! We are ready to launch a war at any time!"

The Wind Douluo replied with a cold smile, "Very good! Today, you will accompany me on a covert mission into the Sky Soul Empire and take the opportunity to pluck the teeth from their city gates!"

With his authority, he indeed didn't have the power to command all the soul master armies, but leading a thousand or two thousand soul masters was absolutely no problem for him!

Just like the soul master troop currently training before him, which was directly under his command,

The concerned soul master captain said, "My lord, isn't this inappropriate? We have not received His Majesty the Emperor's orders and are moving out on our own, I'm afraid..."

The Wind Douluo glared at him and rebuked in a cold voice, "Hmph! You must understand that you are my troops, not those of that emperor, Xu Tianran! Do you understand?"

He could not stand Xu Tianran's conduct, unable to deny the latter's contributions to the Sun-Moon Empire, but to listen so readily to a woman's words in the face of critical decisions, that was simply not the demeanor an emperor ought to have!

A chill rose in the heart of the soul master captain, "Yes! Lord Kuangfeng!"

With that, he turned quickly, calling out loudly to the soul master troop still training with their soul guidance devices, "All personnel stop training and assemble quickly!"

In a moment, the soul master troop had stowed their offensive soul guidance devices into their storage soul tools, and began to quickly form ranks…

Ten seconds later, a very orderly and high-spirited soul master troop re-emerged…

The soul master captain nodded to the Wind Douluo and then joined the ranks of the troops…

Only then did the Wind Douluo give the command, "Everyone, follow me towards the Sky Soul Empire!"

And so, the magnificent soul master troop led by the Wind Douluo left the Sun-Moon Empire and advanced toward the Sky Soul Empire…

Meanwhile, the soul masters responsible for guarding the city gates, who dared not stop them, were left with palpitations, saying, "What do we do now? Lord Kuangfeng has actually taken the army away on his own, could this be considered treason?"

"Treason is unlikely. Lord Kuangfeng has probably taken the troops to attack the other empires on his own initiative! This won't do, we must report to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"You, come with me to the imperial palace!"

…

Not long after, these soldiers hurried to the imperial palace…

A palace guard respectfully spoke to Xu Tianran seated on the imperial throne, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the guards of the city gates have urgent matters to report!"

Xu Tianran responded with curiosity, "Hmm? The city gate guards? Let them in…"

A premonition of ill omen silently surfaced in his mind.

"Yes"

Seconds later, several soul masters walked in; they had witnessed the Wind Douluo leading the soul master troop out of the city…

Their knees hit the ground in unison as they respectfully reported, "Reporting to Your Majesty, we have urgent matters to inform you!"

Xu Tianran commanded coldly, "Speak!"

"A short while ago, Lord Kuangfeng led a troop of about two thousand out of the city, seemingly in preparation to attack the other two great empires, so we came specifically to inform you!"

Xu Tianran's expression darkened, "This guy…!"

This Wind Douluo, relying on his bit of authority, dared to take the initiative to attack other empires on his own!

He gritted his teeth and ordered, "You all go to my palace and call..."

No sooner had his voice faded than a bland voice rose from outside...

"No need, we have already arrived."

Qian Yu and Juzi then walked in side by side...

Xu Tianran's face eased somewhat as he turned to the Soul Masters, "You all may leave now!"

The Soul Masters stood up respectfully and said, "Yes, we shall take our leave!"

With that, they turned and rapidly exited...

Although they had come to deliver messages, as the proverb goes, serving the emperor is like being near a tiger: if His Majesty the Emperor had a mood swing by accident, the three of them stood little chance of getting away!

With respect, Xu Tianran turned to Qian Yu and Juzi, "That Wind Douluo, acting on his own initiative, led the troops to attack other empires, completely ruining our plan!"

Juzi's face was cold as she said, "We should have revoked his military authority earlier!"

He had intended to grant Wind Douluo some authority over the troops to prevent him from harboring thoughts of rebellion...

But now, he somewhat regretted it...

Qian Yu's light golden pupils flickered a few times, "It's too late to rush over now; if Wind Douluo truly launched an attack, then we have no choice but to strip him of his identity as a person of the Sun-Moon Empire!"

"Otherwise, negotiations with the other two countries are basically impossible!"

Juzi nodded, her voice cold, "That's what I think too, Xu Tianran, issue the order immediately to remove Wind Douluo from his post!"

Xu Tianran nodded, "Yes!"

...

Elsewhere, Wind Douluo had already led a troop of thousands of Soul Masters to a location not far from the Sky Soul Empire!

Every Soul Master aimed their soul tool at the enemy ahead, ready to bomb indiscriminately upon the command...

The Soul Master Captain asked Wind Douluo, "Lord Kuangfeng, what should we do now?"

The other Soul Masters also looked at Wind Douluo with questioning eyes, waiting for his command...

A shadow passed over Wind Douluo's face, "What else can we do? Everyone, get ready!"

As his words fell, all the Soul Masters began to channel their Soul Power into their soul tools...

"Fire!"

Strategy be damned; he disliked such useless things. Only sheer power was of utmost importance!

From countless soul tools began to accumulate soul-guided shells glowing with a faint blue radiance, raining down on the gates of the Sky Soul Empire in an overwhelming barrage...

A Soul Master within the Sky Soul Empire looked up at the sky, shocked, "That is... Soul-guided Shells! The Sun-Moon Empire has launched an attack!"

The other Soul Masters also realized what was happening and looked towards the dense barrage of shells in the sky...

A very few Soul Masters immediately activated Defensive Soul Guidance Devices...

However, due to the number and quality of soul tools, as the shells fell and detonated in continuous explosions, they easily destroyed the Defensive Soul Guidance Devices on the city gates...

In an instant, all the Soul Masters guarding the gates were obliterated, and the gates of the Sky Soul Empire were instantly filled with the smoke of gunpowder...

Wind Douluo shouted coldly, "This is the power of soul tools! Everyone, follow me and press forward!"

But just at that moment, his face froze...
