Douluo Dalu: Tiger Roars in the Universe

Chapter 264: Encirclement of Wuhun City

In the territory recently occupied by the Xing Luo Empire, the two most representative soul master forces are the Elephant Armor Sect and the Dragon Snake Sect.

Among them, the Elephant Armor Sect, because it was a loyal lackey of the Spirit Hall, suffered the most severe blow from the Star Luo Empire. The entire sect was directly destroyed by Dai Yaochen and his men. Only the sect leader Huyan Zhen was lucky enough to escape with a very small number of sect disciples. Basically, the Elephant Armor Sect had been destroyed.

However, the situation of the Dragon Snake Sect is completely different from that of the Elephant Armor Sect.

In terms of strength, the Dragon Snake Sect and the Elephant Armor Sect should be almost the same, but the Dragon Snake Sect was established and passed down not very long ago, that is, in the past few decades, and its foundation is not as good as that of the Elephant Armor Sect, so it did not make it into the lower four sects.

If we really compare the hard power, the Dragon Snake Sect is not inferior to any of the lower four sects, so Dai Yaochen also attaches great importance to the Dragon Snake Sect.

The leader of the Dragon Snake Sect is the very famous Dragon Lord Meng Shu in the entire soul master world. He is a powerful man with a cultivation level of level 85 and can be considered a veteran soul douluo.

Of course, if he only relied on his level 85 cultivation, then Dragon Lord Meng Shu would obviously not be able to compete with the masters of the lower four sects. What really supported the Dragon Snake Sect and made this sect no less powerful than the lower four sects was the martial soul fusion technique that was able to transform decay into magic.

If it was just Dragon Lord Meng Shu alone, his level 85 cultivation would not be enough to attract Dai Yaochen's attention. However, when Dragon Lord Meng Shu was joined by Snake Lady Chao Tianxiang, the situation was different.

The snake lady Chao Tianxiang has a cultivation level of over seventy, and at her current age, there is not much room for improvement in the future. She is just an ordinary Soul Sage. However, even though she is such an ordinary Soul Sage, she possesses a martial soul fusion skill with Dragon Lord Meng Shu.

The fusion technique of the martial souls of a veteran Soul Douluo and a Soul Saint, even if the compatibility of their martial souls may not be very high, can definitely burst out the combat power of the Titled Douluo level, which should be enough to fight against Yu Luomian who has just become a Titled Douluo not long ago.

Therefore, the entire Dragon Snake Sect is barely equivalent to having a Titled Douluo, and Dai Yaochen has always attached great importance to the combat power of the Titled Douluo level. In addition, the entire Dragon Snake Sect has thousands of soul masters, and it has also suffered some suppression on the territory of the Spirit Hall before. It is simply the best target to win over. Dai Yaochen naturally extended an olive branch to the Dragon Snake Sect in time.

Of course, the Dragon Snake Sect was also very happy to be wooed by the Star Luo Empire.

There is no way, the Spirit Hall has really gone too far.

Ever since the Spirit Hall attacked the three major sects, they have truly torn off the veil of disguise and issued threats to all soul master forces under their control, demanding that those soul master forces must join the Spirit Hall, or at least fully turn to the Spirit Hall.

In this situation, the Dragon Snake Sect, which was under the control of the Spirit Hall, had no choice but to pretend to be nice to the Spirit Hall and fool the people for the time being. However, after the Spirit Hall suffered several attacks from the Star Luo Empire, the Spirit Hall became more and more impatient, and issued an ultimatum to all the soul masters forces under its control that were still ambiguous: either surrender or be destroyed.

The Dragon Snake Sect was naturally very unwilling to submit to the Spirit Hall, but fortunately just when they were struggling to make the final decision, the Star Luo Empire officially declared war on the Spirit Hall, and the Spirit Hall was temporarily unable to take care of the Dragon Snake Sect, which gave the Dragon Snake Sect a chance to catch its breath again.

The subsequent developments were also very favorable to the Dragon Snake Sect. The Star Luo Empire directly defeated the power of the Spirit Hall and expelled the Spirit Hall. Now the Dragon Snake Sect no longer had to worry about being swallowed up by the Spirit Hall, so the Dragon Snake Sect also had a very good impression of the Star Luo Empire.

If it was just a good impression, then it would be fine. This would not be enough to make the Dragon Snake Sect choose to side with the Star Luo Empire. It was entirely because the Dragon Snake Sect completely understood the wolf ambitions of the Spirit Hall and knew that under the current situation on the continent, it was best to band together with other forces, and the Star Luo Empire was the best choice.

What the Star Luo Empire did was not to annex those soul master forces. On the contrary, the Star Luo Empire basically focused on cultivating various soul master forces in the country, which was in stark contrast to the operations of the Spirit Hall.

So in the final analysis, it is because what the Spirit Hall has done during this period of time is too unpopular. Unless they are mentally ill, normal forces will choose the Star Luo Empire. Even those forces that want to remain neutral and wait and see do not exist at all. The Spirit Hall will completely destroy the neutral thoughts of these forces, and then force them all to the Star Luo Empire camp.

Dai Yaochen was naturally very satisfied that the Dragon Snake Sect was willing to accept the olive branch extended by the Star Luo Empire. He immediately made some promises to the Dragon Snake Sect, saying that he would provide them with a certain degree of support. At the same time, he also asked them to help maintain stability in the newly occupied areas of the Star Luo Empire. The Dragon Snake Sect also promised to fulfill Dai Yaochen's request.

It has to be said that sometimes the soul masters' forces find it easier to do things than the official ones. Some things that even Dai Yaochen finds troublesome can be quickly handled by the Dragon Snake Sect. With the simultaneous efforts of the official and the soul master community, the newly occupied territory of the Star Luo Empire, which is under the charge of Dai Yaochen, has regained stability at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As for the rest, it is basically a subtle influence. If the Star Luo Empire is given some more time, this place will soon become the sacred and indivisible territory of the Star Luo Empire since ancient times.

The newly occupied territory on the eastern front for Dai Yaochen was actually very easy to deal with. He didn't have to spend much effort to restore stability there. In comparison, the western front where Emperor Dai Tianyu was located was the real trouble.

Because when the western front of the Xingluo Empire advanced to the border with the Tiandou Empire, it also meant that the entire Wuhun City was enveloped.

That’s right, the core of the Spirit Hall - Spirit City, is now surrounded by the Star Luo Empire on all sides. The entire Spirit City is like an isolated island, and is already surrounded by the Star Luo Empire.

However, although the Xingluo Empire had surrounded Wuhun City tightly, the Xingluo Empire only surrounded it but did not attack it directly. Wuhun City seemed to have a tacit understanding of this and just gathered all its forces in the city for alert, and did not rush out to cause trouble.

This strange tacit understanding and balance actually brings tremendous pressure to both sides. If one of them is not careful, a war may break out on a larger scale than the previous one.
