Chapter 563 Mirror Dust's Plan (Please Subscribe)_1

Juzi's beautiful eyes were shining with a keen light, "Is the unrest in your heart because of the escaped Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui?"

Qian Yu raised an eyebrow, "Hm? That's not it..."

If not for the mention, Qian Yu might have even forgotten about these two...

As for Xu Tianran on the throne, his gaze was fixed on his nose, and his consciousness was focused within as if he didn't exist at all...

But suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside, and the soul master who rushed in bowed down and said in an urgent tone, "Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, Wind Douluo requests an audience urgently!"

Xu Tianran frowned, "Wind Douluo? He's back so soon?"

He had just announced the removal of Wind Douluo's position and privileges, but the latter had returned so quickly!

Could it be that leading those thousands of men was not to attack the other two empires?

A look of surprise appeared on Juzi's face...

Qian Yu looked down at the soldier below and said coldly, "Did he come back alone?"

The soldier hesitated upon hearing Qian Yu's words, glanced at his unfamiliar face, and stammered, "This..."

Who is this handsome man? Why is he standing together with Marshal Ju Zi...

Xu Tianran commanded sharply, "Speak!"

The soul master shivered with fear and hurriedly revealed, "Yes... It's said that Lord Kuangfeng returned to the Sun-Moon Empire alone, and none of those Soul Master Troops were seen!"

Hearing this, Xu Tianran pondered, "None of the soul masters who followed him have returned; could they have been annihilated by the soul masters of the other two empires?"

How could that be? Although they were only a few thousand strong, they were all equipped with soul guidance devices and would not be so easily wiped out!

Especially a total annihilation!

As everyone was contemplating, several more noisy voices came through...

"Lord Wind Douluo, you cannot enter without His Majesty the Emperor's order!"

"Please do not make it difficult for us!"

"Get out of the way! I have an urgent matter to report to His Majesty the Emperor, and if there's any delay, don't blame me for taking action against you."

Two soul masters were desperately trying to stop Wind Douluo from entering the great hall, but the gap in soul power was too large to stop him...

Seeing the situation, the two soul masters quickly turned to Xu Tianran and bowed, "Your Majesty! We tried to stop Wind Douluo, but..."

Xu Tianran looked at Wind Douluo with an icy gaze and waved his hand at the others, "Enough! You may leave now!"

"Yes! Your Majesty, we will take our leave!"

Seeing the situation turning sour, the three soul masters left the great hall without a word...

At this moment, Wind Douluo bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have an urgent matter to report!"

Xu Tianran sneered, "Report? You even dared to take away thousands of the Sun-Moon Empire's soul masters on your own accord, and now you still have something to report to me?"

Wind Douluo clenched his teeth and bent down a bit more, his hands clasped in a fist and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I was just anxious and had no intention of defying your will!"

"Moreover, had I not done so, I would not have discovered a matter of great importance."

As he spoke, his eyes darted to Juzi and Qian Yu standing at the side. Upon seeing the latter, he made no attempt to hide his scrutiny of Qian Yu...

This man, he had never seen him before!

Could it be that, like that Juzi, he is specifically devising strategies for Xu Tianran?

While Wind Douluo was sizing up Qian Yu, Qian Yu was also taking measure of him...

However, after merely glancing at the former, Qian Yu had already judged the man to be rash in his actions and duplicitous...

By his side, Juzi kept silent, her beautiful eyes calmly observing the scene...

Xu Tianran suddenly stood up from the throne, saying coldly, "What important matter? Are you trying to tell me that the Soul Master Troop you led has been annihilated by the other two empires?"

After these words fell, Wind Douluo's face showed shock as he said, "Your Majesty the Emperor... How, how did you know?"

Xu Tianran's lips twitched. Had his guess been accurate?

Wind Douluo said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, we have been deceived by the people of the Sky Soul Empire!"

"The annihilation of the thousand Soul Master Army I led was precisely because they were surrounded by the Sky Soul Empire's Soul Master Troop and bombarded with soul tools. A rough estimate suggests they have at least two to three thousand of them!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran's eyebrows raised, "How could they have so many!"

The level of soul tools possessed by the Sky Soul Empire and the Xingluo Empire need not be discussed; how could they possibly produce so many soul tools in just a few days!

Thinking Xu Tianran did not believe him, Wind Douluo became somewhat flustered, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely true! If you don't believe me, you can always call back the spy we have planted in the Sky Soul Empire for questioning!"

Seeing Wind Douluo's earnest demeanor, Xu Tianran fell silent...

Meanwhile, Juzi, standing to one side, thought of a name and muttered inwardly, "Mirror Dust..."

The only one who could provide the Sky Soul Empire with thousands of soul tools at once was Mingde Hall!

However, what exactly was Mirror Dust's purpose in doing so?

Was there some unspeakable secret behind this? Or was it intentional to provide those soul tools to the Sky Soul Empire!

...

Inside the research institute of the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy...

Lin Jiayi respectfully approached Mirror Dust and said, "Hall Master Hongchen, the several thousand soul tools have already reached the hands of the Soul Masters of Sky Soul Empire..."

"Moreover, it seems that the Sky Soul Empire has even used this batch of soul tools to eliminate the Soul Master Troop led by Wind Douluo that numbered several thousand!"

The corners of Mirror Dust's mouth lifted slightly into a cold smile, "Excellent! With this, it will be easy for our Sun-Moon Empire to wipe out the other two great empires!"

Although the Soul Master Troop of the Sun-Moon Empire had been annihilated, neither worry nor solemnity could be seen on the faces of Lin Jiayi and Mirror Dust...

Immediately thereafter, Mirror Dust's eyes narrowed as he asked Lin Jiayi, "Any news from the Xingluo Empire? The Sky Soul Empire wouldn't possibly keep this intelligence from the Xingluo Empire!"

Even if the Sky Soul Empire had soul tools, they must ally with the Xingluo Empire to have a chance to stand against the Sun-Moon Empire!

Lin Jiayi shook his head, "There's no movement yet, but they should soon send someone to approach us in secret..."

"However, Hall Master Hongchen, this move of yours is indeed brilliant! It's just not known whether His Majesty the Emperor will be able to understand your intentions."

If this matter were known to His Majesty the Emperor's people, and they were to label the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy as traitors, the meticulously plotted scheme could become disrupted!

Hearing this, Mirror Dust, with those murky eyes, looked towards the level 9 offensive soul tool that occupied hundreds of meters in front of him and said indifferently, "No matter! As long as we can wipe out the Xingluo Empire and the Sky Soul Empire, they will surely be pleased."

This level 9 offensive soul tool, soon to be completed, will become the final straw that breaks the other two great empires!
