Chapter 619: Mutual Deception (Subscribe Please)_1
The Sun-Moon Empire! Within its borders...
Sitting in the carriage, Xu Jiawei's face was grave as he said, "How is it? Have you found anything?"
One of the Hyper Douluo cautiously replied, "Your Majesty the Emperor, there are many people surveilling us, with at least two Hyper Douluo!!"
Another Hyper Douluo agreed, "Indeed! A rough estimate suggests that the strength of our opponents is no less than ours, but they probably won't make their move right now."
Meanwhile, in another carriage, the Emperor of the Sky Soul Empire looked slightly fearful...
His gaze turned to Xu Jiawei beside him as he asked with great concern, "Xu... Brother, do you think there is still hope for us to make it back alive?"
Before Xu Jiawei could answer, the two Hyper Douluo around them assured in unison, "Your Majesty, rest assured, no matter what happens, we will protect you! A mere Sun-Moon Empire is nothing to be afraid of!"
"Yes! Outside the borders of the Sun-Moon Empire, there are several Hyper Douluo from the Sky Soul Empire lying in ambush. Once we send out a signal, they will come to our aid using Spatial Soul Skills!"
Xu Jiawei glanced at the Emperor of the Sky Soul Empire and sighed inwardly...
It seemed that the Emperor of the Sky Soul Empire was still unprepared. Having entered the territory of the Sun-Moon Empire, how could they possibly let them leave easily?
Moreover, if the peace talks were not held within Ming City of the Sun-Moon Empire, once they gathered all their experts together, just a single bombardment from a Ninth Grade Soul cannonball would lead to their complete obliteration...
However, for the sake of face, Xu Jiawei stated calmly, "Don't worry. With a total of four Hyper Douluo to protect us, even the Sun-Moon Empire may not be able to hold us back!"
The Sky Soul Empire Emperor nodded and exclaimed, "Yes! You're right, Xu Brother! You possess a more kingly bearing than I do..."
However, as they were conversing, suddenly, a very startling sound of footsteps came from the front of the two carriages...
The faces of Xu Jiawei and the others grew more solemn. They stopped moving forward, their gazes fixed on the disturbances ahead...
Xu Jiawei thought to himself, "Are they going to act so soon?"
But as soon as this thought emerged, he quickly shook his head to dismiss the possibility, "No, that should be impossible!"
Directly ahead, a well-organized Soul Master Troop of about two to three hundred members advanced and swiftly surrounded the two carriages...
Leading this force was a Hyper Douluo, emanating a terrifying aura.
Before Xu Jiawei and the Emperor of the Sky Soul Empire could speak, the Hyper Douluo protecting them shouted angrily, "Is this the way the Sun-Moon Empire welcomes its guests?"
"Hmph! Ambitious wolves, can you no longer restrain yourselves now?"
"I said it! How could the Sun-Moon Empire have any good intentions? But to send only so few, do they underestimate us?"
"Let's not act rashly! It doesn't seem like they want to start a fight..."
The leading Hyper Douluo of the Sun-Moon Empire's Soul Master Troop took a few steps forward, his gaze settled on Xu Jiawei and the others, and he spoke in an even tone, "I am here by His Majesty the Emperor's orders to specially welcome our guests, to prevent any unnecessary trouble!"
With a wave of his hand, those Soul Masters of the Sun-Moon Empire quickly turned around, forming a tight protective circle around the two carriages...
If one did not know the context, anyone would think that these Soul Masters were indeed there to protect Xu Jiawei and the others...
Seeing this, the four Hyper Douluo finally let go of the vigilance in their hearts...
The leading Hyper Douluo revealed a smile and said, "We will escort you to Ming City of our Sun-Moon Empire, esteemed guests, please."
Inwardly, he thought, "When we reach Ming City, that will be the end for all of you!!"
Under this eerie atmosphere, Xu Jiawei and the others had no choice but to continue moving forward. Under tight protection, they headed towards Ming City of the Sun-Moon Empire…
...
In the grand hall of the Sun-Moon Empire…
The Soul Master who had come to report hurriedly bowed and said to Xu Tianran, who sat on the throne, "Your Majesty the Emperor! The representatives of the Xingluo Empire and the Sky Soul Empire have arrived. Apart from the two emperors, there are four Titled Douluos providing protection!"
Upon hearing this, the Wind Douluo burst into laughter and said, "Hahahaha, I didn't expect these guys to really dare to come! Once they're here, I will crush those two emperors as easily as crushing ants!"
The other ministers' expressions tightened as they coldly said, "Wind Douluo, please watch your language!"
"The words you just spoke are an outright disrespect to His Majesty the Emperor!"
"That's right! Under normal circumstances, that could warrant the death penalty!!"
Speaking of crushing the two emperors, especially in front of Xu Tianran, the Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire, was indeed thoughtless!
Wind Douluo retorted unabashedly, "Why do you few speak so much nonsense? Even His Majesty the Emperor has not uttered a word. Isn't this a defiance against His Majesty the Emperor??"
Once Wind Douluo's words fell, the ministers all closed their mouths, some unsure of how to retort…
Xu Tianran sharply commanded, "Enough! This plan must not fail. Wind Douluo! Now, I am assigning you to go to the border of the Sun-Moon Empire and take command of the Soul Master Troop. Wait there for orders, and be ready to launch an attack at any time!"
Upon hearing this, the Wind Douluo became anxious and explained, "Your Majesty the Emperor! I…"
Xu Tianran's eyes flashed with coldness as he waved his hand and said, "That's the decision, you may leave!"
Wind Douluo bit his lip with some reluctance, but ultimately bowed and said, "Yes… Your Majesty the Emperor!"
Afterward, he turned and left the grand hall…
Seeing this, the ministers and other Titled Douluos thought to themselves!
Serves him right!
For such insolence in the grand hall before His Majesty the Emperor, if he didn't have some strength, and the fact that they were on the brink of a major war, desperately in need of high-end combat power, he would've probably been secretly eliminated by now!
Xu Tianran's icy gaze turned to the others as he sternly ordered, "Similarly, I expect the rest of you to proceed according to plan. Anyone who dares to act on their own or leaks information, don't blame me, Xu Tianran, for being merciless! Understood???"
All the ministers replied in unison, "Understood! Your Majesty the Emperor!!"
Only Juzi, standing behind Xu Tianran, had her beautiful eyes twinkle with infinite murderous intent…
This Xu Tianran, perhaps he could be eliminated in this opportunity!
...…
Shrek Academy, Sea God's Pavilion!
Yan Shaozhe spoke with a grave expression, "Elder Xuan, the emperors of the Xingluo Empire and the Sky Soul Empire have already arrived at the Sun-Moon Empire! I'm afraid things are not that simple!"
Xuan Zi nodded slightly and said, "We must make full preparations. If those two emperors fall at the Sun-Moon Empire, war will likely break out immediately!"
Xian Lin'er frowned, her beautiful eyes showing distress as she said with concern, "But our Shrek Academy has no reason to help the other two empires…"
