Chapter 2451: Detention_1

Dai Yueyan's complexion turned gloomy in an instant, "Yun'er... You, say that again!"

Dai Yun'er did not change her demeanor because of the other's emotional shift, and stated earnestly, "Brother, I want to leave the imperial palace forever and become an ordinary person!"

She, burdened with the title of Her Royal Highness the Princess, was truly exhausted!

Dai Yueyan suddenly burst into a rage and rebuked, "Yun'er, do you realize what you are saying??"

He could never have imagined that he would hear these words from her!

Dai Yun'er looked directly into Dai Yueyan's eyes and said word by word, "I am very clear about what I am doing."

"Ever since our father passed away, Brother, you have been doing everything in your power to protect me, for which I am truly grateful!"

Dai Yueyan spoke urgently, "If that's the case, why do you still want to leave the imperial palace? If I have done something to displease you, we can surely discuss it!"

Apart from those so-called "brothers" who did not share any familial affection, the only relative he could acknowledge was Dai Yun'er alone!

If she left, he would be a lone man with no family!

Dai Yun'er closed her eyes, "No, brother, you haven't done anything wrong, it's just that my heart is tired, and I just want to live out my life like an ordinary person!"

Dai Yueyan clenched his fists tightly and shouted coldly, "No, I disagree!!"

If Dai Yun'er left, what would it matter if he led the Star Luo Empire to new heights?

Dai Yun'er opened her eyes again, "Even if you disagree, brother, I will still leave the imperial palace!"

The uncontrollable anger in Dai Yueyan erupted as he bellowed, "Guards!!"

As soon as the words fell, two Ultimate Douluos appeared immediately, bowing and saying, "Your Majesty!"

Dai Yueyan ordered, "Take Her Royal Highness the Princess away, and let her calm down. She must not leave the palace at all during this period!"

The two Ultimate Douluos looked at Dai Yueyan, then at Dai Yun'er, hesitantly saying, "Your Majesty the Emperor, this..."

The former rebuked again, "Are my words as the Emperor not heeded now?"

With no choice left, the two Ultimate Douluos turned to Dai Yun'er and spoke, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, please allow us to escort you back to the palace!"

Dai Yun'er didn't expect Dai Yueyan to take such actions, "Brother, you can't confine me!"

"Take her away!!"

A simple sentence plunged the entire imperial palace back into silence...

Only then did Dai Yueyan collapse onto the throne, his hand covering his forehead, "My foolish sister, if you forsake the identity of Her Royal Highness the Princess, you are likely to be targeted by those who harbor enmity against the royal household!"

"Even if it means imprisoning you, I absolutely will not let you leave the Star Luo Empire Palace!!"

After all, I promised our father that as long as I lived, I would not let you suffer any harm!!!

...

Inside the defense line!

A Battle God Hall's hall master approached Guan Yue to report, "Reporting to Hall Master, all defense measures of the entire defense line have been perfected, and the combined Defense Soul Guide Shield has been reconstructed!!"

Guan Yue nodded, "Good."

Then, pointing at a spot on the blueprint on the table, he ordered, "However, this area needs to be strengthened. The Abyssal Creature Army is very likely to launch a surprise attack from the side!"

The warrior glanced at it, then said awkwardly, "No, that can't be. The side of the defense line is a cliff; with the intelligence of the Abyssal Creature Army..."

Unexpectedly, Guan Yue swept him with a calm gaze, "After the last battle, have you still not realized that the Abyssal Creature Army is manipulated by the Abyssal Emperors behind them?"

"Especially that Wise Emperor, with its intelligence, not only attacking from the sides but even from the rear or the sky is not impossible!"

Upon hearing this, the warrior immediately swallowed hard, "I've been careless, Hall Master. I will inform the others right away to strengthen the surrounding defenses!"

Having spoken, he turned and walked away...

Guan Yue's expression changed abruptly, he sighed, "Spirit Emperor, Abyssal Emperor, each one is a tough opponent!"

Just then, Qiangu Qingfeng entered with his hands behind his back and chuckled, "I hear sighs from Hall Master Guan as soon as I arrive. Could it be you've encountered some difficulty?"

Guan Yue was startled, he exclaimed in astonishment, "Vice Chairman, why have you personally come to the front line as well? The Federation Headquarters..."

Qiangu Qingfeng explained, "The council members at the Federation Headquarters have all approved, and apart from me, other federation elites have arrived!"

"What, is Hall Master Guan not welcoming us?"

Guan Yue pursed his lips and replied, "Since this is the federation's decision, naturally, I welcome it!"

Qiangu Qingfeng waved his hand dismissing the topic, "Okay, Hall Master Guan, enough idle talk. First, tell me about the current situation!"

He had just arrived at the defensive line and was uninformed of any intelligence, making him unable to offer any help!

The former spoke in a deep voice, "Hmm!"

Immediately, he conveyed all the specific information to Qiangu Qingfeng...

After a while, the latter stroked his chin with a grave expression, "I see, so besides the Abyssal Emperor, there's also a Spirit Emperor?"

Pausing for a moment, he asked again, "Can Hall Master Guan share what it felt like to battle against the Spirit Emperor?"

Guan Yue narrowed his eyes, "There's absolutely no chance of victory! Unless..."

Qiangu Qingfeng penetrated the former's thoughts at a glance, "Unless we use secret methods to forcibly enhance our strength?"

"Hmm!"

Whilst doing so would grant great power in a short time, the likelihood of one's own demise was also significant!

Qiangu Qingfeng sat down unhurriedly, "It seems like, to hold the defense line, we will inevitably have to pay a bloody price!"

Seeing this, Guan Yue curiously asked, "Vice Chairman, do you have any thoughts on the upcoming battle?"

Qiangu Qingfeng shook his head with utmost sincerity, "None, the only thing to do is to stand united and face the enemy together!"

In the upcoming battle, only by having outright strength surpassing the abyssal creatures can we possibly gain a glimmer of hope!

Any strategy or trickery would not add an iota of chance to victory!!

...

Dou Spirit Empire, Holy Spirit Cult headquarters!

Certain evil Soul Masters who had infiltrated the imperial palace and brought back intelligence, looked at the Ghost Emperor before them with awe-filled eyes, "Reporting to the Sect Hierarch, Dou Spirit Empire's Emperor Xue Yuntian has asked us to convey a message!"

The Ghost Emperor spoke emotionlessly, "Speak!"

The leading evil Soul Master replied, "Xue Yuntian says he will keep his promise, to invade Soul Land, but orders our Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters not to slaughter any of the Daijins inside the palace!"

The Ghost Emperor revealed a cold smile, "It seems that worked. I had assumed Xue Yuntian would capitulate only after all the Daijins were killed!"

After pausing briefly, he continued, "Has the Dou Spirit Empire made any moves?"

The former contemplated for a moment before responding again, "A team has been dispatched to the Dou Spirit Empire! However... their intentions are unclear!"

If they truly intended to invade Soul Land, such a small number would hardly make a ripple!

The Ghost Emperor was not annoyed, he simply stated indifferently, "It doesn't matter, as long as they take action. The rest will be handled by our Holy Spirit Cult!"

Provoking conflict was nothing new for the Holy Spirit Cult!
