Douluo: Starting from the engagement with Zhu Zhuqing.

The night is getting dark.

In the dark forest, an orange bonfire lit up.

Dai Yao and the other two sat around the campfire, but the atmosphere was eerily quiet, with only the crackling sound of the burning campfire.

Dai Yao was very casual; Biji still looked elegant and graceful, but only those who were familiar with her could notice the hint of unnaturalness in her behavior from time to time; and Zi Ji, who came back later, didn't even look at Dai Yao and the others, but stared at the rising flames in a trance.

Dai Yao and the others were well aware of Zi Ji's strange behavior.

But neither of them had the intention of comforting Zi Ji.

In Dai Yao's eyes, she was not suitable for Di Tian's mission. She was very confused at the moment, but was pushed to his side by the responsibility of the soul beast clan.

Dai Yao had no intention of taking advantage of others' misfortune.

Brigitte's idea was even simpler. Ziji was her junior, and she wanted to protect Ziji.

Soon, the legs of the soft-bone rabbit caught by Ziji were roasted and gave off a meaty aroma. Dai Yao sprinkled some spices on them, gave one to Biji, and took one for himself, but did not give one to Ziji.

Ziji didn't get any, but she wasn't angry.

After all, as a beast that lived for hundreds of thousands of years, it didn't matter if it didn't eat for hundreds of years. It was just because they had to accompany Dai Yao, so she and Biji followed Dai Yao's eating habits and ate every day.

His cold eyes glanced at Dai Yao, then fixed on Brigitte, looking at her deeply, his deep purple eyes full of confusion.

I don't understand Brigitte's choice.

Noticing Zi Ji's eyes, Biji didn't pay much attention to it, but concentrated on eating the rabbit leg handed to her by Dai Yao. However, Zi Ji's unyielding eyes forced her to raise her head and look at Zi Ji.

In that gentle gaze, as always, there was a sense of distance that Zi Ji had never seen before.

"Sister Brigitte..."

Ziji opened her mouth unconsciously, her voice as soft as a mosquito's, hoping that Sister Biji could help her solve her doubts. But when she spoke, she realized that she had already opened her mouth and quickly stopped.

There seemed to be an unfathomable chasm between her and Sister Brigitte.

Just as Biji was about to say something, Dai Yao put down the rabbit leg and said:

"I'm going to relieve myself."

"Thank you."

Brigitte was stunned for a moment, then showed a grateful look. She thought Dai Yao was leaving space for herself and Ziji.

When Dai Yao turned around, his casual expression immediately darkened. Since the moment he came to the Lake of Life, Dai Yao had activated the 'omniscient' state, and he knew everything about the soul beasts.

Just now, a very familiar aura appeared, lurking in the direction of the Tiandou Empire.

"Could it be that Emperor Tian discovered something unusual, so he sent Xiong Jun to the Heaven Dou Empire to check the situation? Or is it a routine contact between the soul beast clan and Tang San?"

Thinking of this, Dai Yao's heart suddenly turned cold:
"If I let Xiong Jun go to the Tiandou Empire, he will definitely find that the Wuhun Empire is gathering an army to attack Zhennan Pass. Then my plan will definitely fail! No matter what purpose Xiong Jun has in going to the Tiandou Empire, I will never let him leave alive!"

As the refreshing night breeze blew, Dai Yao's figure suddenly disappeared.

The third soul skill of Chaos Green Lotus - teleportation!
In the blink of an eye, they were thousands of miles away.

In the forest, the running bear king suddenly stopped and stared straight ahead, with a fierce light in his eyes. His beast instinct told him that there was an extremely powerful being waiting for him ahead!
"How dare you block your Grandpa Bear's way? Do you want to die? Get out of your Grandpa Bear now!"

The bear king said angrily.

The sharp breath cut the surrounding leaves off one after another.

Amidst the falling leaves, a figure that was very familiar to Xiong Jun loomed. Xiong Jun was stunned at first, then a cruel smile appeared on his face, he opened his bloody mouth and said coldly:
"Di Tian's guess was right. Your purpose for coming to the Xingdou Great Forest is indeed not simple!"

"Is it really guessed?"

A faint voice was heard from the front, and then a figure walked slowly forward, stepping on the fallen leaves on the ground.

This person is naturally Dai Yao.

But what surprised Xiong Jun was that what Dai Yao carried was not the Seagod Trident that he had used when he came, but a long spear that was as white as jade, with the tip of the spear pointing to the ground, gathering like a lotus. As soon as he saw the long spear, Xiong Jun's heart couldn't stop beating wildly!

What exactly is this gun?
Why does it feel more terrifying than Poseidon's weapon? !

However, no matter how good a weapon is, it still depends on its user. How can a young boy in his twenties be a match for him who has dominated the soul beast world for hundreds of thousands of years?
"Boy, do you think you are brave and skilled? Or are you seeking your own death? How dare you come to stop me alone?! I will kill you today and get rid of a trouble for Di Tian. He will have to thank me!"

The bear king grinned, revealing his bloody mouth, and a terrifying aura instantly swept in all directions!

The fallen leaves were rolling, and Dai Yao didn't waste any words. He stepped forward and disappeared on the spot the next moment without any sound. A cold light suddenly appeared in front of Xiong Jun.

Xiong Jun felt his hair stand on end! A sense of crisis of death surged into his heart. Facing Dai Yao's well-trained shot, he couldn't find any weakness to break it. He could only stretch out his dark gold claws to resist.

But the next moment, Dai Yao's words made him scared to death!
"untie!"

A cold light flashed in Dai Yao's eyes, and with the sound of a word being decoded, the true power of the God-killing Spear erupted in an instant.

Even Emperor Tian could only defend against its sharp dark gold claws, but in front of the God-killing Spear, it was like a knife cutting tofu and was instantly broken down.

King Bear was horrified. Was this the dark gold claw that he was so proud of?
Before he could comprehend what was happening before his eyes, a flash of cold light stabbed towards him fiercely.

A hint of cruelty flashed across Xiong Jun's eyes. "Since you want to kill me, then let's die together!" Xiong Jun did not retreat but advanced. The intact dark gold claw on his other hand stretched out instantly and slapped Dai Yao fiercely!

The strong and sharp energy continued to condense, it was the Sky-Tearing Claw that injured Di Tian that year!

Even Di Tian couldn't withstand the damage of this claw. He didn't believe that this human could be safe and sound!

But just as Xiong Jun was gathering strength, Dai Yao's speed increased strangely. The cold light, which was originally some distance away, suddenly approached him and pierced through his body in front of Xiong Jun's puzzled gaze.

Immediately afterwards, the tall and sturdy body of the Bear King began to disintegrate rapidly, and in just a few breaths, it completely disappeared.

Only a soul ring with a hint of red gold in the blood-red color and a soul bone, the dark gold claw that fell to the ground, could prove that he had existed.

Dai Yao slowly breathed a sigh of relief, took a look at Xiong Jun's soul ring, and then looked at the God-killing Spear in his hand.

"As expected of you who was transformed from the Chaos Azure Lotus, the so-called ten fierce beasts are no match for you. I didn't reveal any trump cards. I just used an explosive step to kill the Bear King who gave Emperor Tian a headache, and he couldn't even use his most proud spirit skill."

"However, if we kill Mr. Xiong, the subsequent impact will definitely be significant."

"But, as long as we delay the time and let Di Tian react a little later, it will be enough." Dai Yao does not have time to absorb Xiong Jun's spirit ring and spirit bone. If it takes too long, Biji and Ziji will find something wrong, then it will be troublesome.

This is why Dai Yao took the risk of using the Chaos Green Lotus Martial Spirit.

The power of the Seagod Trident was indeed impressive, but it was not realistic to quickly deal with the Bear King. Once he was delayed by the Bear King, or the noise was too loud and caused Emperor Tian to notice, his plan would be ruined.

However, Dai Yao still underestimated the power of the Chaos Green Lotus Martial Soul. Using only the God-killing Spear Martial Soul, the Bear King, the sixth most ferocious beast, could not even hold out for a few breaths under the God-killing Spear.

He stretched out his hand and a Chaos Green Lotus appeared in his palm. Soul rings slowly emerged one after another, and all eight soul rings were upgraded to blood red. However, this soul ring configuration that shocked the continent was destined to be seen by no one.

"Fourth soul skill, time and space stagnation!"

The buzzing soul ring of the Bear Lord stopped, slowly shrank, and was wrapped in the Chaos Green Lotus, and then disappeared.

"With the effect of time and space stagnation, Xiong Jun's spirit ring will not dissipate after an hour. After the matter in the Xingdou Great Forest is resolved, I can absorb it."

"My third spirit ring was also absorbed by a dark gold terror claw bear. Now it's replaced by a bear king who is more than 400,000 years old. I want to see how much improvement this spirit ring can bring to me. Moreover, there is this external spirit bone, the dark gold terror claw. It is really a pleasant surprise. I thought it was one of the six spirit bones, but I didn't expect it to be an external spirit bone!"

"And it's the most precious right metacarpal bone of my Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!"

Picking up the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's external soul bone, even with Dai Yao's temperament, he couldn't help himself, but he quickly calmed down.

"From now on, it is better to use the God-killing Spear less. This powerful and terrifying performance is far beyond the reach of even the Shura God. Before I become a god, I must never use it again! Otherwise, no matter how good my disguise is, it will eventually be discovered."

Dai Yao made up his mind.

If his secret were discovered and attracted the covetousness of the gods, it would be fatal to Dai Yao.

There are righteous gods and evil gods in the divine world.

He was not afraid of the covetous eyes of the gods, but he had to consider those around him. When those guys couldn't do anything to him, they would definitely attack the people around him.

Therefore, in order to avoid such a situation, Dai Yao had better not use the Chaos Azure Lotus Martial Soul. Moreover, even if he did not use the Chaos Azure Lotus Martial Soul, the two Martial Souls of the Sacred White Tiger and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger alone were enough to dominate the entire Douluo Continent.

Not to mention his female confidantes.

With a change of mind, he glanced at the scene after the battle. Except for the fact that many trees were cut off when the bear king gathered his Sky-tearing Claws, there was not much else unusual. Even if someone noticed this place, they would not be able to detect anything.

After nodding, Dai Yao's figure disappeared on the spot.

Only twenty breaths had passed since Dai Yao left the campfire.

······
Countless people tossed and turned that night.

In front of Zhennan Pass, campfires were lit and countless soldiers were ready for battle.

About a few dozen days ago, the military atmosphere of the Wuhun Empire suddenly became much more serious. It was said that several important figures of the empire had arrived and would launch a general attack on Zhennan Pass soon. But few people knew who those so-called important figures were.

Inside the coach's tent.

The commander Hu Liena did not sit in the main seat, but stood respectfully beside them. The dozen or so people present were all Title Douluo-level warriors, but no one had any objections and they all stood respectfully.

The purple silhouette on the main seat is none other than the current Pope Bibi Dong!
"Nana, ten days have passed. How are the preparations going?"

Bibi Dong leaned on the Pope's scepter and looked at Hu Liena seriously.

Hu Liena's heart tightened.

Ever since the teacher suddenly came to Zhennan Pass ten days ago and asked to prepare for the siege immediately, the army of the Wuhun Empire began to move at high speed.

She didn't understand why the teacher was so eager to attack Zhennan Pass, and even personally brought all the masters of the Pope's Palace to the camp. If the stalemate continued, the strength of the Tiandou Empire would continue to decline, and it would be a matter of time before Zhennan Pass was broken.

However, if we choose to attack by force, there is a risk of accidents due to the steepness of Zhennan Pass.

But since her teacher had made up his mind, she couldn't stop him. She could only start mobilizing the army in a very short time. In just ten days, she prepared all the food, fodder and equipment needed for the attack of the Wuhun Empire army. She hadn't slept for ten days.

"Reporting to the teacher, the army is ready. We can attack the city today as soon as the teacher gives the order!"

Hu Liena clasped her hands together, knelt on one knee, and answered respectfully.

Seeing the bloodshot eyes of her disciple, Bibi Dong felt distressed. She nodded, then turned to look at the Title Douluo and said coldly:
"Everyone, have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow morning, we will reward the three armies and then attack the city. I will personally go into battle and you will follow me to meet the enemy."

"Although our army has taken nearly half of the land of the Tiandou Empire, it is still slightly inferior in terms of conventional strength. In addition, given the geographical advantages of Zhennan Pass, it is obviously unlikely to take Zhennan Pass with conventional forces. Therefore, the victory or defeat of our army depends on the confrontation of the strength of our soul masters."

"Although I have been cruel to you all these years, I have never treated you unfairly, rewarding you where you deserved and punishing you where you deserved. But tomorrow's matter is not the time for you to be sneaky or cunning!"

"Within three days, we must capture Zhennan Pass at all costs!"

"Otherwise, all of you will be buried with the soldiers who died in front of Zhennan Pass!"

Bibi Dong's merciless words shook everyone's heart. More than a dozen Title Douluo raised their heads and looked at Bibi Dong in horror.

On the one hand, they were shocked by Bibi Dong's cruelty. Even a Titled Douluo was still nothing in the heart of this vicious woman. On the other hand, they were very curious about why Bibi Dong was so eager to attack Zhennan Pass. Was there any secret behind this? !

Even Hu Liena, who was very familiar with Bibi Dong, didn't dare to say much at this time.

Because she was familiar with Bibi Dong, she understood the determination in Bibi Dong's words! There was no doubt about this matter!

"promise!"

After a brief silence, everyone responded in unison.

Ju, Gui, Lingyuan, Moxiong, Thorny Pig, Ghost Leopard, Shenglong, Salas, Ferdinand, and three newly promoted Titled Douluo, a total of twelve Titled Douluo, all knelt on one knee respectfully.

"Okay, you guys go out and have a good rest tonight."

Bibi Dong waved her hand gently and gave instructions lightly.

The twelve Titled Douluo slowly stood up and left the commander's tent.

Hu Liena came close to Bibi Dong and asked cautiously:

"Teacher, why are you so anxious to break through Zhennan Pass? If you take the risk of attacking by force, it will definitely cause great casualties."

Bibi Dong did not rush to answer. Instead, she lifted the door curtain, slowly walked outside the general's tent, looked at the eternal bright moon in the sky, and said softly:
"I'm just fulfilling someone's promise..." (End of this chapter)
