Douluo Dalu: Start with a Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgement

Chapter 548: A Stable but Fragile Alliance

Zhang Lexuan nodded and said, "This is a good idea. Tang Ya is indeed the true heir of the Tang Sect. Our Shrek Academy has also had a friendship with the Tang Sect for tens of thousands of years. In this regard, I believe the academy will support you. However, I cannot make any guarantees on behalf of the academy now. Please forgive me. Because the reputation of Shrek Academy is too big, Xiaotao and I cannot make the decision, but we can help you in our own name and do what we can."

Ma Xiaotao also nodded. If she and Zhang Lexuan had already taken control of Shrek Academy, they would help Beibei without hesitation. But now the people in charge of Poseidon Pavilion are still Xuanzi and many elders. The older generation has too many things to worry about and are not as decisive as young people like them.

Otherwise, given the relationship between Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, the Tang Sect would not have had its sect headquarters forcibly occupied by others before. It was just that the Sea God Pavilion was concerned about the neutral position of Shrek Academy and was unwilling to interfere in the disputes between sects of other countries. After all, the Tang Sect was also a sect of the Tianhun Empire, and was registered in the Tianhun Empire. It was not something that Shrek Academy could interfere with at will. The original Douluo Three Kingdoms were already very wary of Shrek Academy. If Shrek Academy interfered in the dispute between the Tang Sect and the Iron Blood Sect, then its neutral position would be shaken in an instant.

This was something that neither the elder of the Sea God Pavilion nor Dragon God Douluo Moon wanted to see, so Dragon God Douluo had no choice but to send his great-great-grandson Bei Bei to approach Tang Ya, just to help the Tang Sect make a comeback.

Dragon God Douluo had put a lot of effort into the Tang Sect, their ten-thousand-year ally. And in the final analysis, it was the Tang Sect's own fault, not Shrek Academy's. After all, Shrek Academy was not the Tang Sect's nanny.

The life and death of a sect can only be determined by the sect's own efforts. If it relies on others, it will eventually fall behind.

"Sister Lexuan. Sister Xiaotao, thank you." Beibei said gratefully. Beibei was very clear about the difficulties faced by Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao. As the great-great-grandson of Dragon God Douluo, Beibei was actually very clear that Shrek Academy was sometimes helpless and stood too high, so too many people were staring at it. Before the war began, the three original Douluo Kingdoms were all staring at Shrek Academy. Once Shrek Academy made a mistake, although it would not cause serious damage to Shrek Academy, it would still be able to undermine Shrek Academy's prestige and reputation for thousands of years.

On this point, the former Douluo Three Kingdoms were in great agreement. Although Shrek Academy turned the tide in the last holy war and led them to defeat the Sun Moon Empire, this further strengthened their determination to suppress Shrek Academy. The dispute between the Tang Sect and the Iron Blood Sect was just a small means for the Heavenly Soul Empire to suppress Shrek Academy. They were eager for Shrek Academy to help the Tang Sect, and they would not have any objections. Instead, they believed that the more such things happened, the better, because in this way, the neutral position of Shrek Academy would be shaken, and then they would have more means to suppress Shrek Academy.

Many old men in Poseidon Pavilion were old foxes, so how could they not see through this conspiracy? Therefore, they did not take any action but just stood by and watched, allowing the Tang Sect to decline. It was also because of this attitude that Tang Ya finally chose to leave Shrek Academy. Tang Ya always felt resentful that Shrek Academy did not help her.

The situation on the Undead Demiplane was temporarily stabilized. This operation was a complete success. Not only did they rescue Tang Ya, but they also killed a full-strength soul guide regiment of the Sun and Moon Empire at the cost of consuming a ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shell, which greatly reduced the pressure on the front line of the Sky Soul Empire. The only flaw was that the casualties of ordinary soldiers were too high, but Ji Lin did not feel any guilt. After going to the front battlefield, these soldiers should have been prepared to face death. With different positions, Ji Lin had a clear conscience.

Of course, the main reason for the heavy casualties among ordinary soldiers was that the ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shells exploded inside. If it were not for the traitor Nangong Wan, it would be difficult for Ji Lin to do it alone. Although the Sun-Moon Empire is now in a strict military appearance, it is already in chaos inside. A comprehensive investigation has begun, causing panic in the military camp.

The Sky Soul Empire was naturally surprised by this. Although their reconnaissance capabilities were limited, they could naturally see the big commotion made by the Sun Moon Empire's camp, especially the power of the ninth-level fixed-type soul guide artillery shells, which could be clearly seen even dozens of miles away. Vina and Ji Lin had already detected the location of the Sun Moon Empire's soul guide corps before, so the Sky Soul Empire could also make a rough estimate.

If it weren't for the fact that the Tianhun Empire's military, led by Princess Vina, insisted on following the original plan, it is very likely that they would have turned the fake into reality and started a decisive battle directly.

The commanders of the reinforcements from the Xingluo Empire and the Douling Empire were very dissatisfied with this matter, thinking that the Tianhun Empire was too conservative and did not take advantage of such a good opportunity.

In fact, the Sky Soul Empire also had its difficulties. They knew this was a good opportunity, but first of all, the Sun Moon Empire did not seem too chaotic. Secondly, the last main force of the Sky Soul Empire was gathered here. Once the full-scale war started, they could not let the reinforcements of the Douling Empire and the Xingluo Empire take the lead. They had to rush forward first. The losses at that time can be imagined.

Not to mention that this war may not be won, even if it is won, it will be a pyrrhic victory. The Sun and Moon Empire was temporarily repelled, what about the next time? If the main force of the Heavenly Soul Empire suffered too much loss, how can it restore the country? Even after the restoration, it will not be able to defend it!
The Xing Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire only need to consider repelling the Sun Moon Empire's army, but the Tianhun Empire has too many things to consider.

The threat from the Sun-Moon Empire is great, but once the Sky Soul Empire weakens to a certain extent and the threat from the Sun-Moon Empire is reduced, the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire may not necessarily pose no threat to the Sky Soul Empire. Therefore, under various concerns, the Sky Soul Empire finally decided to act according to the original plan.

The relationship between the three kingdoms of the original Douluo Continent was very delicate. They could work together to fight against the Sun-Moon Empire, but once the Sun-Moon Empire, the fierce dragon that crossed the river, was gone, the three empires would be able to fight to the death. Moreover, the Douling Empire and the Tianhun Empire were originally one, both of which were split from the original Tiandou Empire. Who wouldn't want to conquer the other and return to the peak? The Xingluo Empire was full of martial virtues ten thousand years ago. If there was a chance, how could it be indifferent? Therefore, the Tianhun Empire had to repel the Sun-Moon Empire and guard against its two allies, especially the Douling Empire.

Vina is having a headache now. If her father had not been seriously injured, the Tianhun Empire would need her, the most outstanding princess of the royal family, to take charge of the situation. After losing Long Aotian, she would have wanted to give up long ago.

Although her brothers and sisters are all excellent children educated by the royal elite, strength is ultimately respected in Douluo Continent. In terms of martial souls, Vina has twin martial souls and also possesses a true martial soul, so she naturally gains the support of the True Soul Sect. In terms of strength, she is also the strongest among the younger generation of the royal family. In terms of wisdom and scheming, she is also unique. Don't forget, her true martial soul is her brain, and she is very smart. She sees the current situation on the continent clearly, and is well aware of the situation of the Tianhun Empire.

Facts have proved that Vina's choice was correct. Although the army of the Sun-Moon Empire suffered heavy losses, it was not completely devastated. If a war really broke out, regardless of who would win or lose, the main force of the Sky Soul Empire would suffer huge losses after all, because if they launched the main attack, they would have to impact the four intact soul guide positions of the Sun-Moon Empire.

After this incident, the Sun Moon Empire was in a state of panic. The loss of a soul master group made Marshal Lin Hai look ten years older overnight. This responsibility could only be borne by him. Moreover, the Holy Spirit Church also suffered heavy losses, with an elder killed in battle, a saint missing, and a large number of evil soul masters dead. These responsibilities would definitely not be borne by Zhongli Wu, the national master.

A carpet search was launched in the military camp of the Sun-Moon Empire, but three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Ji Lin and others seemed to have completely evaporated into thin air. Not to mention finding them, there was not even a clue.

The only thing that made Zhongli Wu feel fortunate was that, apart from the Masked Douluo who died in battle, Nangong Wan and the Fifth and Sixth Elders, although seriously injured, managed to survive. Titled Douluo have strong vitality and will be able to return to normal after a certain period of recuperation.

Day four, night.

A black crack appeared silently in the pitch-black tent, and then a figure quietly emerged from the crack.

Upon closer inspection, this person was Ji Lin.

This tent was where Ji Lin last entered the undead demiplane. Intense searches had been going on in the Sun-Moon Empire camp over the past few days, so no one was taking care of this empty tent.

Ji Lin's figure appeared silently in the corner of the tent. As soon as he appeared, Ji Lin released mental detection to observe the surrounding situation. Although the undead demiplane is easy to use, it also has flaws. That is, you can only exit from where the door is opened, and the coordinates of the door can only move with Ji Lin in the Douluo plane.

Ji Lin turned invisible and quietly walked out of the tent.

The patrols inside the Sun-Moon Empire military camp are obviously much stricter than before. Now even the evil soul masters stationed here are also patrolled by soldiers.

The patrolling soldiers have special soul detection devices in their hands. They will not detect the situation inside the tent, but will constantly scan the open space to prevent soul masters with good stealth abilities from sneaking in.

However, these simple reconnaissances were useless in front of Ji Lin. If he couldn't even avoid this kind of search, how could he come and go freely in the camp of the Sun and Moon Empire? (End of this chapter)
