Soul Trigger

Chapter 538: Civil strife in the diplomatic corps

Looking at the golden light rising into the sky and the spiritual essence gushing out, Ji Li and Ji Ruoxi's soul triggers suddenly stirred:
Dark light!

"Why is the third divine general here?!" Ji Ruoxi exclaimed.

"It seems that this is why the Imperial Guards are here..."

Ji Li signaled to his cheap sister that she didn't need to support him anymore, and slowly stood up. He saw a huge golden eagle rising up with a cry.

The harsh sound waves spread out in all directions, creating spherical waves visible to the naked eye, and the aura of the dark light swept across the entire dock.

The third general, one of the four generals of the Mediterranean Union, the secret society "Seventh Pillar", and a Hades-level immortal.

Ji Li has learned a little about the multi-country visits in the past few days. Among the countries behind the diplomatic delegation, the Mediterranean Union is naturally among them.

But this is the pier chosen by Tombstone, and Little Daddy had also investigated it in advance. How could such a mistake happen and happen just when he was secretly leaving Shulong?
A dull, overlapping voice came, as if answering the two people's doubts:
"Your Majesty is indeed as good as a god."

Teng Jun?

Ji Ruoxi's pupils shrank slightly.

Ji Li remained silent, watching the light spears falling from the sky turn into a cage that sealed off the entire dock.

Not far away stood the tall imperial guard, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle as if he was watching a special effects fireworks show, the blood-red cloak and spiritual braids behind him burning in the strong wind.

One of the commanders of the Imperial Guards, a Hades-level immortal: Nirvana Dragon General.

His tall stature, burly dragon costume, iconic gold-patterned mask, and braided hair full of the aura of a resentful dragon are all his trademarks.

This was the first time that Ji Li saw a leader of the Imperial Guards in person. Although they were all Imperial Guards, no ordinary Imperial Guards could compare with them in terms of strength or status.

This guy was able to see through the disguise of the tombstone, and the technique that led the entire team out of the shadows was also his work...

"Yuan Ling's heir, let's put aside the matter between you and that dead disciple for now."

There was a sound of violent friction between the dragon suits. The Nirvana Dragon General raised his right arm, and a scarlet crack appeared on the ground. A strange dagger with an unusually thick handle and guard but an extremely thin and short blade emerged from it.

The Nirvana Dragon clenched its claws and suddenly pulled out the dragon with endless aura of resentment.

The black and red spiritual essence wrapped around the short sword as he moved, and condensed frantically with the thin and short sword body as the core. A giant sword made of highly concentrated resentful dragon spiritual essence took shape:
"Leave the enemy leader to me. You and the Imperial Guards will rescue him when the time comes."

Without waiting for the two to react, a black and red hurricane swept across the entire dock, the endless light spears broke into pieces on the spot, and the entire golden cage that had just been formed turned into fragments flying all over the sky.

The Nirvana Dragon General has transformed into a black and red storm and appeared in the sky. The braided hair and spiritual cloak behind him swept across the sky, and the giant sword slashed down fiercely.

The golden eagle's giant head screamed and exploded on the spot. Amid the roar of a dragon, a large black and red crack suddenly opened:

"Kneel down at the feet of the emperor and you can return home with your body intact."

A giant golden spear shot up into the sky and collided with him.

Between the golden and red explosions, the two-colored mist exploded in the sky, revealing a burly man with a naked upper body and long hair.

The man had dark skin and thick golden tattoos all over his body, as if gold foil was reflecting the radiance of spiritual essence.

In his left hand, he held a ball of condensed, blazing golden light:

The third general.

"I'm deeply sorry for bothering you with family matters. General Long, can you wait patiently for us to find the princess? I will explain the compensation clearly after that..."

"As a powerful person from the Dark Light, you have entered the territory of our Shulong Kingdom at will. This is no longer just a matter between the Forbidden City and the Seventh Pillar. Exit your overwrite form. The Anomaly Measurement Union will be responsible for judging your violation."

"That means there's nothing to talk about?"

"No."

"There are more than 300 citizens of your country right under my feet. Is there no point in discussing this?"

"I will now kill you on the spot for the crime of abnormal invasion and illegal detention of our citizens. There will be no guilt in terms of process and justice."

The third general was silent for a moment, and then a giant golden spear as narrow in front and wide in the back as a meteor grew out from the golden light in the third general's hand.

The golden patterns all over his body lit up instantly:

"Just because of you, the fake emperor's dog?"

Black and red exploded, golden light shone brightly, two violent dark-level spiritual essences collided with each other, and the sky changed color.

"Mingzhao level, fighting with all their might, the fight was really exciting..."

Ji Ruoxi slapped Ji Li fiercely and rushed directly towards the huge ship:
"It's come to this, save people first!"

Ji Li turned his head and saw that the hull was also pierced by countless golden spears in the void, as if it was locked in a cage.

All the imperial guards who were on the shore just now have rushed in, and screams and fighting sounds can be heard from the boat.

Seeing this, Ji Li's body burst into rainbow colors:
Now that I have encountered something like this, I definitely can't escape. I hope that guy with the tombstone can run fast enough.

No matter why this incident happened to him, judging from the result, someone seemed to be preventing him from leaving Shulong territory.

Let’s cooperate with the Imperial Guards to solve the problem at hand first, and the rest... we’ll discuss it later.

……

As the mixed spiritual essences scattered and tangled, several terrified passengers rushed to the deck with the intention of jumping into the canal. A royal guard followed closely behind them and was entangled by several immortals of exotic appearance.

More awakened ones were rushing out, and when they saw the fleeing passengers, they slashed out with deadly spiritual essence:

"The things could have been put on anyone by the 'Sunshine' people. For the princess, no one can be let go!!!"

The colored glaze spirit came at a high speed, and with the sound of explosion, the dragon suit had already covered the whole body, and the horizontal sword pierced through the body of a foreign awakener.

It was Ji Ruoxi:
"Walk."

The passenger nodded in horror, and before he had time to feel further shocked by the unrealistic scene before him, he jumped directly into the river.

But the others were pulling each other, and one of the women kept exclaiming:
"Car!! Stroller!!! My baby!!!"

Another Chinese woman next to her pulled her tightly and asked her to escape quickly.

Ji Ruoxi raised her eyebrows:
Baby?

There was a hint of anger in his eyes under the visor towards the presence of these intruders, and he asked quickly:
"where is it?"

"It's been knocked over! It should be in the cabin below!! It's a blue baby carriage!"

The woman seemed to have no time to be surprised by Ji Ruoxi's dragon costume. She spoke at the top of her voice as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

This vague description is obviously of little use, but in this situation, rescuing the survivors can only be carried out by relying on such vague and confusing descriptions, and Ji Ruoxi is very clear about this.

At this moment, footsteps were heard and another person rushed out from the exit. There was spiritual energy on his body and he looked foreign. It was the invader.

There were black and red wounds on his body, and it was obvious that he was forced back here by the imperial guards who had entered the interior.

The spiritual fluctuations of one of them gave off a slight pricking sensation, and it turned out to be an Echo-level Immortal.

"It's only at the level of one spiritual meridian, and it's injured..."

Ji Ruoxi swung her sword, and with all the spiritual energy in her hand gathered, she was ready to chop towards those people.

But someone is faster than her——

Under the horrified gazes of several foreign awakeners, rainbow-colored spiritual essence bombarded the sky, tearing apart the scene in front of Ji Ruoxi and the other passengers.

With the piercing explosion and the unique deep roar of the rainbow essence, not even a trace of the awakened ones was left.

A huge crack was torn across the entire hull, revealing a chaotic scene inside the cabin.

There were a few foreigners chasing the crowd below. They had never expected that an attack would come from outside the ship. The moment they felt the trigger of their souls tremble like an earthquake, their bodies and souls were torn apart by the rainbow.

The sudden change caused the survivors behind Ji Ruoxi to retreat in fear.

The woman who lost her "baby" and her companions beside her had a look of astonishment in their eyes:
Kill the Immortal instantly? !

Then he looked up suddenly——

The Death Star sprayed its rainbow wings and descended onto the deck with a gust of wind:
"I don't know what you guys are doing, but you've ruined my life. I'm really upset now..."

Ji Ruoxi said anxiously:

"Ji Li! There are other survivors down there! And this is Shu Long's property..."

Just now someone said that the stroller was lost, and now all that’s left is baby debris!

Before he finished speaking, the rainbow had already poured into the crack, and Ji Li's overlapping and vibrating voice came out:

"Don't worry, I'm sure of the result. As long as we can save the person, it'll be fine. Besides, don't we have plenty of money?"

After the attributes were distorted, the dragon suit had some more changes than before.

If the body proportions were perfect and agile before, the arms and back of the dragon suit now look a bit bloated.

As a result of the increased spiritual essence supply, the arm turned into a stacked body shape, and inside it seemed to be hidden countless war toys that Ji Li subconsciously loved:

"Try this first, but don't die too quickly..."

Ji Li raised his arm, and with the sound of mechanical clicking, rainbow energy shells blasted out.

Like a meteor or glue, it rushed into the cabin in an instant, bypassing the bodies of the civilians and sweeping towards the foreign awakeners in the sticky and deadly splitting and reorganization.

At this moment, the remaining foreign awakeners in the cabin were turned into star-colored fragments on the ground without even having time to scream when they were touched.

Ji Li chuckled, and with a flick of his hand, the rainbow-colored spirit essence grabbed a blue baby carriage from the cabin inside:
"Is this your child?"

The woman's eyes lit up, a hint of ecstasy flashed across her face, and she pounced out and hugged the stroller in her arms.

Although the action looked a bit strange, Ji Li and Ji Ruoxi did not look at it for long. After all, the situation was urgent, and the former had to move to the other side as soon as the rainbow burst out from behind him.

He didn't want to waste the Death Star's powerful maneuverability by entering the hull. With the circular calculation that allows him to see the results of his own attacks, it would be best to carry out precise and efficient bombing directly on the outside of the hull.

But the woman shouted directly:
"You are Ji Li! Yuan Ling's heir!?"

Ji Li paused, nodded to Ji Ruoxi, and the latter rushed under the deck to rescue people. He turned around and said:

"You are not a civilian."

This woman looked like a dragon-forging person, and she also knew his identity. It was obvious that this was not the spirit of an ordinary person, but an awakened one.

The woman's face was filled with even more ecstasy:

"We are from the Mediterranean Union Diplomatic Corps! My name is Neveu!! We are carrying something very important and need to be given asylum immediately!!!"

As she spoke, the magic that had enveloped her body was suddenly lifted, revealing her original appearance.

With deep eye sockets and slightly dark brown skin, he looks like an alien.

Ji Li raised his eyebrows:
"camouflage?"

But why didn't he notice it at all?
The woman nodded repeatedly:

"It is using the reverse power of the 'Eye of Truth'..."

After learning that the person in front of her was an heir of a mausoleum, the woman finally showed a look of relief on her face.

She instantly confirmed that the person in front of her could help them get through the difficult times.

Because the heir of Shulong would be the Son of God if he were in Menes.

Although Shulong has several such "Sons of God", it is enough.

The other party's political status itself is sufficient to provide them with political protection in this dispute, and the power that is erupting now is also strong enough.

But Ji Li frowned. He was in a bad mood, and the other party's tone did not win his favor:
"Sorry, I don't participate in politics. I still need to participate in the search and rescue operation. The Soul Bureau that will arrive later will be responsible for protecting you..."

"no!!"

But the woman rushed out and knelt directly in front of him:
"The Soul Bureau can't come... You have to come! We can only accept your protection!!!"

Her reaction was quite intense, so Ji Li certainly wouldn't pay much attention to her. He used his spiritual energy to shock the other party away and was about to leave.

The woman next to her immediately said anxiously:
"Our leader Khalid is using the 'Eye of Truth' to lead the other pursuers deeper into the cabin! It doesn't matter whether you protect us or not, but please make sure to find the Eye of Truth and don't let it fall into the hands of 'Red Earth'!!!"

Red Soil and Rizhao are two factions in Menis, and they are also two authoritative factions in the Mediterranean Union.

So, it was internal strife within the diplomatic corps?
Ji Li understood things roughly. He hated these messy conspiracies and intrigues the most and didn't want to get involved in them anymore.

But Neveu immediately shouted:
"No!! The Eye of Truth is not in Khalid's hands!!!"

When these words came out, even her companions beside her were stunned:

"what?"

Neveu pushed the stroller out directly:
"The Eye of Truth is here! It must be placed within our ritual!! So please protect us, protect the Eye of Truth, and don't let it fall into the hands of the Red Earth people!!"

Ji Li raised his hand behind him and a rainbow burst out, engulfing several Red Earth Awakeners who rushed onto the deck, and glanced at the baby carriage.

To be honest, he had no idea about the current situation.

The "Eye of Truth" is a treasure of the Mediterranean Federation, and it also belongs to a person, the Princess of Menes.

So this princess is a baby?

Ji Li's look was a little strange. According to the information from his little father, this baby seemed to have caused a lot of trouble in the Cayton Federation. As a baby, this baby was considered to be a top-notch one.

He reached out to grab the baby carriage, but Neveu's companion grabbed it:
"Wait, didn't you say this was your and Khalid's illegitimate child?!"

Nave said immediately:
"It's just a trick. Khalid believes that not everyone in the team can be trusted. I didn't mean to hide it from you..."

Ji Li frowned: My two good friends, have you ever considered the thoughts of Mr. Khalid who is being hunted?

Facing Ji Li's question, Naf shook her head repeatedly and looked at the confrontation between the Dragon General and the God General in the sky with some fear.

At this moment, the two men have been thrown into the Lingbao Prison, and the spiritual pressure has been contained. Otherwise, no one here except Ji Li can move:
"No... Right now the people in Red Earth don't know that the baby carriage is the Eye of Truth. We need you to take us away from here immediately. Only your identity can protect us..."

"Really?"

Before he could finish his words, the stroller was suddenly overturned.

Ji Li's eyebrows flashed, and he dragged Nafu away.

Her companion's skin had been torn apart, revealing his true appearance.

Black hair, brown skin, a pair of scimitars rotating in his hands, white marks all over his skin, which instantly lit up as the spiritual essence ignited.

In the strong wind, Nave looked at the hot brown-skinned woman with a dazed look in her eyes:
"The fourth divine general?!"

The immortal aura of the Mingzhao level suddenly expanded, blowing Ji Li and Nafu away.

The gray-yellow spiritual essence like sand exploded, instantly disintegrating the baby carriage.

A certain ritual was torn apart in an instant, and under the astonished gazes of countless people, a magnificent pharaoh's coffin fell to the ground with a loud bang.

The brown-skinned woman gently stroked the surface of the coffin, a look of relief flashing in her eyes:
"You are really a bunch of cunning rats..."
