Chapter 249: Clouds over Mingdu (Part 3)

"What?! Do you want to go to war with the Three Great Empires?" Du Busi's expression changed drastically.

"What, you actually dispatched a Soul Engineer Legion?" Xuan Lao's expression also changed.

"Do you really think your plan is flawless? Since you intend to make a move in my Mingdu, I don't mind letting the elites of your Three Great Empires all be buried here. If you want to strike at the elites of my Sun Moon Empire, have you not considered bearing the wrath of our Sun Moon Empire?"

Xu Tianran looked at Xuan Lao and Du Busi and spoke coldly.

To them, Luo Yu was the future of the Sun Moon Empire; Xu Tianran knew very well the value Luo Yu brought him, a value far beyond that of a simple genius of the Sun Moon Empire's future!

"Are you not afraid that all the high-end combat power of your Sun Moon Empire will be buried here today?" a Title Douluo from Shrek questioned.

"Don't forget this is Mingdu. If I disregard all casualties, I can make all the Title Douluos of your Three Great Empires stay here. Even if we cannot completely keep you, we can definitely cause a situation where both sides suffer. Once you fail to kill me, I will immediately issue a proclamation to the Three Great Empires, letting them understand why I would launch a war."

"I want the civilians of the Three Great Empires to know that if the Title Douluos of your Three Great Empires had not come to assassinate the elites of our Sun Moon Empire, there would not be this war, nor would those civilians be sent to the battlefield in vain, only to die on the battlefield in the end! If you dare to do it, then I dare to immediately order a full-scale war without regard for the consequences!"

Xu Tianran picked up the Regent Token and glared at the various Title Douluos and Super Douluos; he was like a furious lion, roaring and bellowing at his enemies.

Xu Tianran was not a timid person; on the contrary, he was a madman with absolute rationality.

No one could threaten him, except for those brothers who vied with him for imperial power, and that Emperor Father who held the power of life and death over him.

He knew he could not carry out such a mad act, but he knew his current status, and saying such words definitely had enough deterrent power against those Title Douluos of the Three Great Empires!

This was the reinforcement of his status, and also his deterrent power as the future monarch of the Sun Moon Empire!

"You dare!" Xuan Lao was enraged, and the Taotie Divine Ox let out a heaven-shaking roar.

"If you dare to do it, why wouldn't I, Xu Tianran, dare to do it!" Xu Tianran had no scruples at all and had Ju Zi push him to the window.

Looking at the resolute expression on Xu Tianran's face, a feeling of unease flashed through Du Busi's heart; it seemed they had become extremely passive.

The person opposite them was a madman!

…………

"Lord Luo Yu, we have captured a group of people from the Three Great Empires. How should we deal with them?"

Watching over a dozen people from the Three Great Empires trapped by a Soul Guidance Device and wearing soul power restriction shackles, a captain of the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Legion walked quickly to Luo Yu's side.

Luo Yu was expressionless and said, "Lock them in the dungeon. Do not torture them for now. They are important bargaining chips for our negotiations with the Three Great Empires. If anything happens to them, it might affect the negotiations."

"Understood. Does the Lord want to act together?" The captain leading the team before him was a level sixty-eight Soul Emperor named Fang Chengkong.

Luo Yu scanned the crowd and said, "Continue the pursuit. I have other tasks."

Fang Chengkong watched Luo Yu's disappearing back and sighed, "As expected of the Hall Master's disciple; to have such achievements at such a young age."

With the deployment of the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Legion, a large number of people from the Three Great Empires who had not yet managed to evacuate were quickly suppressed, and as Mingdu continuously increased its troops, they also fell into a state of being surrounded.

Isolated and helpless.

The backup plans left by the people of the Three Great Empires were seen through by Luo Yu in advance; their Burrowing Soul Guidance Devices were completely destroyed in the east by the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Engineer Legion, a large number of personnel were surrounded, and some who attempted to break through were killed on the spot under the attack of the Soul Guidance army!

"People of the Three Great Empires, listen: put down your weapons and stop resisting. I, Luo Yu, can guarantee your safety. If you continue to resist and destroy Mingdu, we will choose to kill you on the spot!"

Luo Yu slowly walked out, surrounded by the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Legion, and spoke to the group of surrounded people.

"Do we still have rescue? Where are our backup plans? Princess, can we really not escape? Does the Heaven Soul Empire have no reinforcements?" The people of the Heaven Soul Empire asked Wei Na in a panic.

"Princess, where are our reinforcements? Didn't we prepare for evacuation? Why are we still surrounded here?"

"Princess..."

As time passed, the emotions of the people from the Heaven Soul Empire grew worse and worse. In the hands of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Engineer Legion, their group of over a hundred people had absolutely no chance of winning. The previous failed breakout had caused their original team of over two hundred to suddenly be halved.

At the same time, the Body Sect was also surrounded by the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Guidance army in another location; Long Aotian was seriously injured, and the members of the Body Sect had also lost the ability to resist.

"Your Highness, we have shaken them off. It is about time to leave." An old man from the Star Luo Empire looked at Xu Jiujiu and said.

"Understood, let's go."

The Burrowing Soul Guidance Device was activated, taking the people of the Star Luo Empire into the ground one after another, heading east.

As the Burrowing Soul Guidance Device emerged from the ground, the people of the Star Luo Empire stepped out of it one after another.

"Whistle!"

A sharp sound of a Signal Flare rang out. Xu Jiujiu's expression changed drastically, "Not good, it's an ambush! Prepare to fight!"

The Signal Flare rose, and at the same time, a large number of Soul Searchlights illuminated the place where the Star Luo Empire's group appeared as if it were broad daylight, and a large number of Soul Engineer Legion troops continuously emerged from all around.

Before Xu Jiujiu and the others could react, a large number of Soul Guidance Rays quickly aimed at them, and the next moment, dense Soul Guidance Rays covered the people of the Star Luo Empire like raindrops.

Boom!

A violent explosion sounded. The people of the Star Luo Empire could not withstand such a dense attack at all. In just one encounter, except for those whose soul power had reached the Soul Emperor level or those with high-level Protective Barriers who were uninjured, the others suffered heavy casualties in that instant.

"Princess, our plan was exposed..."

"Run!"

…………

The Title Douluos of the Three Great Empires who were still entangled with the members of the Holy Spirit Cult suddenly had their expressions change drastically. Even Peak Douluos like Xuan Lao and Du Busi were shaken to their cores, as if struck by lightning.

"What have you done?" Du Busi looked at Xu Tianran in disbelief, his eyes widened in shock.

At this moment, Luo Yu appeared above the Sun Moon Imperial Palace, dragging Long Aotian who looked like a pile of mud, and slowly said, "Last time you used a Burrowing Soul Guidance Device to break into Mingde Hall and steal Number One and the hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast Embryo, did you think the same method would work a second time!"

"Are you threatening me?" Du Busi took a few steps back, increasing his distance from Long Xiaoyao.

Luo Yu sneered, "Sect Master Du Busi, since you did it, you must pay the price. Don't think the Sun Moon Empire is a place you can come and go as you please."

"If you dare to lay a hand on the members of my Body Sect, I will surely turn Mingdu into a land of death!" Du Busi roared in a rage, no longer having his previous arrogant air.

Luo Yu grabbed Long Aotian by the throat and lifted the heavily injured Long Aotian with one hand, saying, "No one can threaten the Sun Moon Empire, and if you dare to strike at the citizens of Mingdu, I will dare to kill everyone from the Heaven Soul Empire and the Body Sect! Du Busi, you can try and see if I dare!"

Looking at the heavily injured and dying Long Aotian opposite him, Du Busi's heart was in chaos; they were now completely trapped in a passive position.

The people of the Heaven Soul Empire had fallen, and the Body Sect had also fallen...

The people of the Three Great Empires had basically all fallen.

This was the thought of Xuan Lao, Du Busi, and the many Title Douluos present.

"What do you want?" Du Busi's expression was dark, his hands trembling slightly.

How could things have turned out like this? How could their plan have been seen through by the Sun Moon Empire?

Where exactly did the problem arise?

Could it be...

Is there a mole?

"Hand over Number One and the Soul Beast Embryo, and I will spare the members of your Body Sect. If you cannot do that, then go collect the corpses of your Body Sect people." Looking at Du Busi opposite him, Luo Yu's attitude was firm.

If it weren't for obtaining Xu Tianran's permission, Luo Yu would absolutely not have been so presumptuous in front of Xu Tianran.

Once Xu Tianran's permission was obtained, everything would become very smooth, because Xu Tianran was the monarch of this country; under circumstances where everything had not yet matured, it was best not to overstep too much, and doing things according to the rules would never be wrong.

"Impossible, although we did enter Mingde Hall back then, we truly did not obtain Number One and the Soul Beast Embryo." Du Busi hurriedly spoke, desperately denying that they had taken Number One and the Soul Beast Embryo.

At this moment, Jing Hongchen looked at Du Busi and questioned: "At that time, the place where Number One was located had a tunnel dug out by your Body Sect. If it wasn't your Body Sect, could it be that our Sun Moon Empire people were stealing from their own?"

"It's not impossible..." Du Busi looked at Jing Hongchen and silently added a sentence.

"Later, we blockaded the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy and searched everyone, but we didn't find any trace of Number One. If you didn't take Number One, could it be that I took it?"

Jing Hongchen had wanted to strangle this old thing Du Busi more than once; that time the Body Sect launched a sneak attack, it made him lose the Soul Beast Embryo prepared for his grandson, and Number One was also gone, and he himself almost lost control of Mingde Hall.

These matters made Jing Hongchen feel full of rage every time he thought of them to this day. Damn it, how could there be such a hateful person in the world!

Jing Hongchen and Du Busi had an unresolvable grudge.

Unless Du Busi returned the Soul Beast Embryo and Number One, the feud between the two of them could never be resolved.

"It seems Sect Master Du Busi is still joking with us. Since that's the case, then I'm sorry."

Crack!

A crisp sound echoed in the silent night sky; Long Aotian's arm was snapped off, and finally hung down powerlessly.

"Stop!" Du Busi's eyes were splitting with rage, but he was powerless to stop all of this from happening.

Luo Yu's gaze revealed thick killing intent, and he continued: "I will only say this once. If you don't want your Body Sect disciples to all become corpses, you must show enough sincerity. Otherwise, we don't mind killing them."

"I understand..." Du Busi's eyes were dim; he no longer had his previous demeanor.

His Body Sect had no way out; once those disciples died, their lineage would be completely severed...

If the Body Sect were destroyed in his hands, what face would he have to meet the predecessors of the Body Sect?

"Your Excellencies of the Three Great Empires, if you still do not retreat, then I don't mind bringing out your sects and princesses." Looking at the menacing Title Douluo of the Three Great Empires, Luo Yu once again took out some Soul Guidance Device fragments belonging to the leaders of the Three Great Empires.

Looking at those fragments, their momentum instantly became low.

Defeated, all defeated...

"If you want to get back your disciples and students, then please, Your Excellencies, retreat for the time being. His Highness the Crown Prince is merciful and can promise you that he will not harm their lives. But if you Excellencies still want to continue fighting, then we will have no choice but to choose to perish together."

As Luo Yu's voice fell, the Title Douluo of the Three Great Empires discussed among themselves, clearly harboring doubts about their words.

"Since you Excellencies do not believe it, why should we continue to dwell on this? Men, kill!"

Luo Yu did not hesitate and gave the order directly. After the order was issued, a person from the Heaven Soul Empire who had been restrained by a Soul Guidance Device was immediately brought out. The guard did not hesitate at all, raised his Soul Guidance Long Sword, and slashed at the back of his neck.

"Stop! We will retreat now." A person from the Heaven Soul Empire saw the captured member of the royal family and immediately spoke to stop them.

Swish!

The slashing long sword stopped abruptly, but it still cut the skin and flesh. Fresh blood slowly seeped out from the back of the neck, but the wound was not deep and did not damage the meridians.

"Please, Your Excellencies, withdraw from Mingdu!"

Following Luo Yu's words, the Soul Engineer Legion in the city also spoke in unison.

"Please, Your Excellencies, withdraw from Mingdu!"

"Please, Your Excellencies, withdraw from Mingdu!"

…………

"Su Yu, are we really going to be okay like this?" Xu He asked cautiously.

At this moment, Su Yu was wearing the clothes of a palace Patrol Captain, leading He Caitou as they slowly followed the patrol path to the old Emperor's bedchamber.

"It's fine, Xu Tianran won't be that stupid. However, once the old Emperor dies, you will never be able to step foot in the Sun Moon Empire again."

Su Yu not only activated the Simulation Soul Skill copied from Huo Yuhao, but also had Yi Lao change all of his aura. Once his Simulation Soul Skill failed, he could still disguise himself as a palace Patrol Captain.

"I know, Su Yu, thank you." Xu He's body trembled slightly.

The old Emperor's bedchamber was getting closer. At this moment, the old Emperor had no Title Douluo by his side; all there were, were a Soul Emperor and a Soul Saint guarding in the dark.

The Title Douluo and Soul Douluo had all been transferred away from here, because this place was located deep in the palace, and coupled with the emergency situation tonight, to break through to here, one would have to pass through layers of checkpoints, so the old Emperor basically had no defensive forces here.

Even if there were, they had been transferred away by Xu Tianran in advance!
