Chapter 95

Douluo Continent, Wu Hun Empire.

Martial Soul City.

The capital of the Wu Hun Empire is naturally Martial Soul City.

Qian Renxue occupies the throne, currently reappointing the elders and platinum bishops.

The Spirit Hall did not dissipate with the founding of the Wu Hun Empire; it continues to be preserved.

After assigning the elders and platinum bishops their posts, Qian Renxue asked, 'Your Excellencies, is there anything to report?'

'Your Majesty, I have an important report to make,' said Gui Mei, who was in charge of the Wu Hun Empire's intelligence system, stepping forward.

'Gui Mei, what is it?'

'Your Majesty, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Clear Sky Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, and the Star Luo and Tian Dou imperial families have united to form the Righteous Alliance to oppose our Wu Hun Empire.'

'The location of the Righteous Alliance is precisely at the junction of the two great empires, and now most of the Title Douluo, Soul Douluo, Soul Saints, and Soul Emperors from the three sects and two imperial families have stationed themselves in the alliance.'

'Although the combined high-level combat strength of the three sects and two imperial families is not much inferior to that of our Spirit Hall, our Spirit Hall does possess a line of soul tools.'

'Our Spirit Hall's soul tools can now be fully employed on the battlefield.'

'Even a Soul Saint, when operating soul tool war machines, can possess strength not inferior to that of a Title Douluo.'

'Your Majesty, I believe this is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity to completely wipe out the high-end combat power of the three sects and two imperial families.'

'It is also time to let the world know the true strength of our Spirit Hall and make them understand the consequences of opposing our Spirit Hall.'

'This is to subdue the enemy's soldiers without battle.'

'Through a single war, letting the people of the two great empires recognize the terror of our Wu Hun Empire can accelerate our rule and minimize unnecessary casualties.'

'Whether for the Wu Hun Empire or for the Star Luo and Tian Dou Empires.'

'Gui Mei, what you say makes perfect sense and exactly matches my thoughts.'

'Mobilize the troops; in three days, our Wu Hun Empire will take down the Righteous Alliance in one fell swoop.'

'This battle must not only be fought, but fought beautifully.'

'We will obey Your Majesty's decree,' said the officials in unison.

'Your Excellencies, is there anything else to report?' Qian Renxue asked again.

No one below responded.

Qian Renxue waved her hand and said, 'Since there is nothing to report, let us dismiss the court.'

'Gui Mei, She Mao, the task of mobilizing the troops is entrusted to you two.'

'Yes, Your Majesty.'

……

The entire Wu Hun Empire moved upon hearing the order, all preparing for the expedition three days hence.

This movement was not minor, and naturally it was noticed by the Righteous Alliance, which had been monitoring the Wu Hun Empire's movements.

……

Douluo Continent, Righteous Alliance.

Ning Fengzhi said, 'The Wu Hun Empire's major move this time is likely aimed directly at our alliance headquarters.'

'A mere girl, still wet behind the ears, thinks becoming a god lets her act lawlessly?'

Ning Fengzhi hadn't finished speaking when Yu Yuanzhen interrupted him.

Yu Yuanzhen continued, 'We three sects and two imperial families are not made of mud; if the Wu Hun Empire dares to attack our Righteous Alliance, we will surely make that wet-behind-the-ears girl retreat in defeat.'

'Yu clan chief, it's still best not to be careless,' Ning Fengzhi advised, 'Qian Renxue is after all the continent's sole deity; none of us know her abilities.'

'Furthermore, even if Qian Renxue lacks experience, do not forget that behind her stands the old and crafty Qian Qianji.'

'Qian Qianji not stopping it shows he has confidence in Qian Renxue's actions.'

'Qian Qianji, a waste who only thinks with his lower body.'

'Without the Spirit Hall, Qian Qianji would be nothing.'

'Even if Qian Qianji feels it's inappropriate, what can he do? Qian Renxue is a deity; he may try to stop her, but she may not listen.'

Ning Fengzhi shook his head, realizing that Yu Yuanzhen harbored strong prejudice against Qian Qianji and Qian Renxue father and daughter; such prejudice must not exist before battle.

Ning Fengzhi turned to Tang Wei and asked, 'Tang Sect leader, what is your opinion?'

'I think Sect Leader Ning's words are not without reason; we cannot be careless about Qian Renxue's attack this time and must rally our full energy to respond.'

'Furthermore, Qian Qianji is not as worthless as the Yu clan chief claims.'

'Qian Renxue and Qian Qianji are not to be underestimated,' Tang Wei apparently agreed with Ning Fengzhi.

Boosting others' ambition while destroying one's own prestige, Yu Yuanzhen felt deep disdain inside but did not voice it.

Ning Fengzhi then turned to the Star Luo Emperor and Xue Ye, asking, 'Your Majesties, what are your opinions?'

'Like this, I will have some archers dispatched.'

'Although these soldiers are all ordinary civilians, under a volley of ten thousand arrows even a Title Douluo must avoid their edge.'

'Thank you first, Star Luo Emperor,' Ning Fengzhi said, clasping his hands toward the Star Luo Emperor.

'The Wu Hun Empire is our common enemy; doing this is only proper.'

Ning Fengzhi responded with a smile, then turned to Xue Ye.

Xue Ye thought for a moment and also decided to dispatch some soldiers from within the empire.

Ning Fengzhi now felt completely at ease, as the Righteous Alliance had gathered about half of the power of the Douluo Continent.

'If even this cannot defeat the Wu Hun Empire's first wave of attack, in his view it is indeed heaven's will that the Wu Hun Empire unify the continent.'

After Ning Fengzhi gave the final pre-war mobilization, he dismissed the meeting, and everyone went to make preparations.

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The Wu Hun Empire had completed the mobilization of its army; the number of troops deployed this time was not large, only over a thousand, but they were the elite among the elite.

At the forefront was Qian Renxue, riding a bright fierce horse.

Following closely behind Qian Renxue were the nine Title Douluo dispatched by the Wu Hun Empire this time.

After them came the small group of Soul Douluo.

The Soul Douluo group numbered fifty in total.

Each of these fifty individuals carried a war machine; upon entering it, they merged with the machine, enabling them to unleash strength not inferior to that of a Super Douluo.

The reason there are fifty of them is that the Spirit Hall has only produced fifty sets of such large war machines over the years.

After that came the Soul Saints, Soul Emperors, Soul Kings, Soul Ancestors, and Soul Elders.

Each Soul Master carried a soul tool suited to themselves—either a soul cannon, a soul gun, or a soul sniper…

……

Douluo Continent, Justice League.

After a day's journey, the Wu Hun Empire's force of over a thousand arrived at the city's gates.

"Arrogant, truly arrogant!"

"With just over a thousand men you think you can devour us—if that isn't arrogance, what is?"

Yuyuan Zhen looked at Qian Renxue, full of mockery, didn't you scout the enemy before attacking?

You should know that the Justice League alone numbers over a hundred thousand this time—if each person spat a mouthful of saliva, they could drown the Wu Hun Empire's over a thousand troops.

Moreover, among the Wu Hun Empire's over a thousand troops deployed this time, fewer than a hundred are at the Soul Douluo level or above.

On the Justice League's side, the number of Soul Douluo gathered alone is six times that of the Wu Hun Empire, and even the Title Douluo are not lacking.

The only one without a counterpart is Qian Renxue, who is of godly rank.

Yuyuan Zhen still didn't believe it—how could a single Qian Renxue make up a difference of over ninety thousand?

This time Qian Renxue will surely lose, and the Wu Hun Empire will surely lose.
