Chapter 310: The Empire's Contempt



“Wow~”

Accompanied by a whistling sound.

In the cloudless sky, figures of fully armed soul guides flew by one after another. Feeling the terrifying aura of destruction they exuded, countless birds and beasts around them took detours.

On a bionic soul-guided aircraft.

Xu Cheng stood at the first place, with his hands behind his back, overlooking everything below.

It would be a lie to say there is no sense of accomplishment.

As a young boy, he looked at the thousands of elite soldiers surrounding him like stars surrounding the moon. Although their numbers were not as impressive as those of a mighty army, their combat power was enough to fight against thousands of times more ordinary people...

I have been in this world for a long time, and apart from the last defense of Mingdu, this is the first time I lead an army to war.

Of course, as the one who is about to inherit the Sun-Moon Empire, a behemoth whose rise is unstoppable, Xu Cheng's control over the military has almost reached more than 90%.

If it weren't for the loving father and smiling son, imagine that behind him were the four major beast soul guide groups, and even the Holy Spirit Church, saying to Xu Zhen on the high platform: Please abdicate, father. It would be quite touching...

Unfortunately, Dad is also a smart man. He chooses to play the role of a warm and loving father.

Xu Cheng sighed softly.

This reduces the challenge a lot.

As for the Queen and the Fourth Prince, they were a bit of a drag, only knew how to use some insidious tricks, were inexperienced and loved to play, which made him lose interest in them.

Ye Guyi beside him was also looking down curiously. Looking at the scenery flashing by along the way, he could tell how fast this flying soul guide was. However, it was able to ensure stable navigation, which was enough to give us a glimpse of the current level of the soul guides of the Sun Moon Empire.

She secretly glanced at Xu Cheng who was standing in front of the soul guide.

At a young age, he was able to command the most powerful army in the continent. In the fierce and cruel royal struggle within the Douluo Overlord of the Sun and Moon Empire, he abolished the rest of the direct lineage and covered the sky with one hand.

It feels like a heroic leader.

If he truly inherits the Sun-Moon Empire in the future, where will he lead this empire, and even the entire continent?

The girl was full of curiosity about Xu Cheng. Ever since she was taken back by Uncle Ye and learned about the changes in the Holy Spirit Church under Xu Cheng, and even the fact that the Church was going to compete with the leader Zhongli Wu, her curiosity about Xu Cheng reached its peak.

Most of the powerful people in this world are dismissive of the views of ordinary people. Even many "kind" princesses and ladies, when they give charity to the poor, do so with a sense of condescending pity.

Only he...

It seems that they treat ordinary people as human beings.

The moment the huge soul guide group crossed the Mingdou Mountains and entered the Xingluo border, dozens of soul masters dressed in Xingluo royal guard uniforms rose from the ground.

The leader had a nervous look on his face, looking at the huge soul guide army in front of him. He knew very well that it was this Sun and Moon army that had killed through the 100,000-strong army of White Tiger Douluo not long ago, and had marched straight into Huanglong, turning the national war into a battle to defend the imperial capital...

Fortunately, they were not enemies this time.

"Come with me!"

A man from the Sun-Moon Empire's Royal Soul Guidance Corps wearing a black and red military uniform glanced at him disdainfully and said indifferently.

“…”

The leader of the Xingluo Royal Guard had an unpleasant expression on his face, but he kept his head down, not daring to show any obvious complaints.

Is this the contempt of the Empire?

Today he realized...

Until he saw the flying soul guide surrounded by countless soul guide soldiers and generals.

That unrealistically young boy and his indifferent gaze.

"What does Xu Jiawei mean?" the young man asked calmly.

In an instant, countless eyes fell on him, pressing down on his shoulders like a mountain, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Your Majesty's intention is... to let us take you to the capital of the Xingluo Empire to rest for a while, to recuperate a little, and to let Your Majesty show his hospitality, and then you can..."

Taking a deep breath, he still conveyed Xu Jiawei's meaning.

“No need.”

Xu Cheng smiled.

"I accept Xu Jiawei's intention, but the Sun and Moon Empire is not here for tourism. They have business to attend to. Xing Luo just needs to order them to get out of the way and avoid causing unnecessary casualties."

"Gu~"

The royal guard felt that Xu Cheng's words were really arrogant, but after a quick glance, he still felt that this arrogant man had his reasons. After a moment's hesitation, he nodded slightly and said, "Yes..."

Xu Cheng made a gesture.

The entire soul guide army did not delay for a moment, but continued to move forward in an orderly manner.

The Xing Luo Royal Guard saw with his own eyes the Sun and Moon Soul Guidance Corps guards beside him, whose auras were no weaker than his. They looked straight ahead, as if they were treating him as air, and walked straight past him...

Hundreds of mechas, manned flying soul guides, and the all-terrain turrets below gradually disappeared from his sight.

The latter gradually came to his senses.

Several figures flew towards him from below.

"Captain! What's going on?"

Someone asked.

"Inform His Highness. He... refused." The captain shook his head. "The Empire only needs to borrow the passage."

"So are they going to the Tianhun Empire?" another person asked.

"Maybe, it depends on the direction." The captain looked dazed.

"The Heavenly Soul Empire is going to be in trouble. If I remember correctly, the Body Sect, the Heavenly Soul Empire, and the Douling Empire all participated in the last battle to siege Mingdu. I originally thought that although the Sun and Moon Empire won the game, it was also seriously injured and unable to start a war. I didn't expect that..."

"Fortunately, our emperor was wise and joined the Sun-Moon Empire early. Otherwise, today, this army would have flattened the imperial capital and destroyed the Sky Soul Empire."

Listening to the sighs of his subordinates.

The captain's eyes widened.

He shouted angrily, "What are you talking about? What the hell do you mean by surrender! We are an alliance!"

"Captain... let's stop deceiving ourselves. If this is really an alliance, they wouldn't be so disrespectful to Xing Luo. To put it bluntly, if His Majesty hadn't knelt earlier, cough cough cough..."

The captain's expression froze.

I wanted to refute, but I didn't know where to start.

Just let out a long sigh.

"well……"

Xingluo, only exists in name!

Star Luo Empire.

The Duke's Palace of Palsac Province.

"Damn it, what does Xu Jiawei want to do?!"

The leader of the old nobles, the fat Salokai, narrowed his eyes and exuded a strong anger.

"Sending Princess Xingluo to fight against the Sun-Moon Empire? Are you planning to sell out the country?"

Obviously, what happened now has completely exceeded their expectations.

Xu Jiawei did not follow their instructions like a horse with a tight rein as he had done before. Instead, he ignored the opposition of court ministers and sent Xu Jiujiu to the Sun and Moon Empire!

This signal left countless people on the mainland confused.

But it is also within the scope of understanding.

After all, Xingluo suffered a crushing defeat, so it is understandable that they want to surrender to Riyue now, but the degree of this surrender is very intriguing.

Is it to form an alliance, to become a younger brother, or...

But no matter what, this is a bit troublesome for them, the old nobles who have complex roots in the Xingluo Empire, because it means that Xu Jiawei and his former enemy have turned into friends!

As for the target of the operation...

Salokai is definitely not a fool. He has the ability to deal with Xu Jiawei. After all, they are all one. If you touch me, you will touch the foundation of Xingluo. All forces are very afraid of internal strife.

But Xu Cheng is different!

That guy is a fucking hell.

He won't talk to you about the Star Luo Empire. If Xu Jiawei really wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife, once Xu Cheng arrives, it will probably be his death.

Duke Robinel, who commands a large number of troops, and Lingwen, the leader of the Lingniao Sect, naturally have a sharp eye and can see all this.

"I received news that Her Royal Highness the Princess returned to the imperial capital yesterday and gave Xu Jiawei a one-hour report. Because the palace is secretive and difficult to infiltrate, we are unable to obtain any information, but there is one piece of news..." Ling Wen's face was grim, "Xu Jiawei was very happy. It is said that he went to the Queen's bedroom for several nights in a row."

“…”

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

"That guy is crazy! He doesn't care about the empire anymore, he just wants to drag us down with him!"

Salokai gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"Haha, what did I say a few days ago?" Duke Robinel snorted coldly, looking at the two people who were singing and dancing and very happy a few days ago, but now had a Sima face, and shook his head.

"Keep laughing, why aren't you laughing?"

"Robinel!"

Salokai gritted his teeth and said, "Don't think you are innocent! Haha, Xu Cheng is a tiger lured by Xu Jiawei! His target is definitely not just the two of us, but also you! When he comes, you can't escape!"

"You two, please listen to me!"

Ling Wen stopped the two people who were fighting.

"We are all in the same boat. If we continue to fight among ourselves, Xu Jiawei will succeed. If we die, Xingluo will really fall into the hands of Sun and Moon. All the savings of our ancestors for thousands of years will fall into our hands!"

"What should we do then?" Salokai asked hurriedly as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

"Haha, if you ask me, we can't attack. Even if the three of us work together, it's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot or an egg hitting a rock against a stone. It's too late to ask for peace with Xu Jiawei now. There is only one way."

Lingwen took a deep breath.

"Of the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best!"

"Walk?!!"

The two were stunned for a moment.

"That's right. The only plan now is to avoid the limelight temporarily. While Xu Jiawei is still not able to react, we can gather our wealth and transfer it to the Tianhun Empire and Shrek Academy. Now it happens that the Xingluo Empire is corrupt and is about to collapse. We can then cut off the source of the problem and make Xu Jiawei's plan backfire!" Lingwen smiled.

"No, no!"

Salokai shook his head. As a noble, most of his assets were in Xingluo. If he left temporarily, the resources he could muster would be less than one fifth of the total, unless he sold off many real estate deeds or the soul beast industry chain at a low price. But this was something he did not want to see.

"I just don't believe that Xu Cheng is that strong! It's just a matter of who's better!" He was so anxious that he jumped up and down, his face flushed.

And Robin also shook his head.

He is similar to Salokai.

As a duke, all his assets, connections and energy are in the Province of Palsak. This is the foundation laid by his ancestors for thousands of years. The ancestral tombs are all here. If he runs away to another place in the future, what if the ancestral tombs are abandoned and the corpses are whipped?

"In my opinion, we should go to Xu Jiawei to make peace. I don't believe that he will willingly hand over Xing Luo. As long as his tone softens, then..."

Lingwen shook his head.

"Since no one can convince anyone else, why don't we all raise our hands and vote. Those who agree to seek peace with Xu Jiawei raise their hands."

Robinelle raised his eyebrows, but still raised his right hand.

"Raise your hands if you agree to fight to the death."

Salokai snorted and raised his hand.

"Then... raise your hands if you agree to escape early." Ling Wen asked and answered himself.

"Okay, things are very clear at this point. Robinelle will go to Xu Jiawei to make peace, Salokai will fight to the death, and I... will pack up and prepare to run away."

Robinelle: “…”

Salokai: “…”

"You are a fucking human!"

"Let's die together!"

The two of them set up spiritual patterns, as if they were really afraid that the old guy would sneak away with his belongings.

"Your Highness, something bad has happened!!!"

Just as the three were arguing.

A hurried voice came from outside the door.

"Who the hell are you talking about, eunuch?!" Robin said angrily, but as he looked at the pale-faced messenger who broke into the room, his expression gradually became solemn.

"No...what happened?"

"The Sun-Moon Empire's army suddenly appeared at the provincial border. The guards were defeated and the army was defeated. Now they have found out the address of the Duke's Mansion and are heading here!"

"What?!!"

The three were stunned.

"How could it be, so fast..." Robinelle looked as pale as death.

"The nobles of this world are indeed the happiest group of people."

With his hands behind his back, Xu Cheng leisurely looked around the luxurious manor. It was no exaggeration to call it a palace. The murals, precious soul bones, and even some precious soul beasts inside even had special breeding areas and were raised by special people.

The few people kneeling on the ground looked as pale as if they had lost their parents.

With his head hung low, he formed a sharp contrast with Xu Cheng's leisurely demeanor.

Obviously, this war ended without any suspense...

Faced with the overwhelming army of Sun and Moon, even the most powerful noble, Salokai, lowered his proud head.

"Bone Clothes."

Xu Cheng said calmly.

"Yes!" Ye Guyi was stunned for a moment and quickly responded.

"Lead the team to search inside and out thoroughly, leaving no gaps..." said Xu Cheng.

“…”

Ye Guyi took the order and left.

Although there were countless brave soldiers present, many of whom were stronger and more experienced than her, they still asked her to go... Although the girl was skeptical, she had no reason to refuse.

And searched several circles.

It seemed that they had only found some rare and precious treasures, which made Ye Guyi curse the rich man inwardly, but there was nothing unusual.

"My lord, something is wrong here."

Suddenly, a guard from the Sun and Moon Soul Guidance Corps reported with a serious expression.

Ye Guyi hurried over.

"There's a secret room inside!" the guard knocked on the floor and looked up.

"Open it!" Ye Guyi raised his eyebrows.

As the darkroom was opened.

A rich fragrance also wafts into the air.

Inside is a bottomless corridor.

"Let's go and take a look!"

Ye Guyi's expression gradually became solemn.

Be the first to jump down.

Outside the hall.

Xu Cheng yawned.

He glanced into the magnificent hall and smiled.

"Ye Guyi, if you want to be an angel and uphold justice, it is not possible with just passion..." (End of this chapter)
