Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 558 Make the Ancient Phoenix Feather kneel before this White Tiger Banner!

Upon hearing Ning Qingyu's account, a strange expression couldn't help but appear in Qian Gu Huang Yu's red eyes.

She remembered that in another timeline, the Sun and Moon Federation also encountered a great plague, which was ultimately resolved by Yali.

[Why do I feel like the plague's timing has been brought forward a bit? Yali's cultivation speed now is definitely faster than Yali's in the other timeline.]

But they're all Soul Saints now, could it be because my butterfly wings flapped again?

"Mom, how is Yali now?" Qian Gu Huang Yu asked hurriedly.

Ning Qingyu said, "Ya Li has now woken up and has even broken through from Soul Saint to Title Douluo."

"The old lady and the others said it might be because the patients in the plague were gradually getting better, and the power of faith was beginning to return to Yali."

"In the end, the Prayer Angel Martial Soul gained the power of people's faith and was also given back to Yali as a Soul Master."

"How long has Yali been in a coma?" Qian Gu Huang Yu asked. [In the other timeline, Yali was in a coma for a full year, but that's only a little over six months since I left the Sun Moon Federation.]

Ning Qingyu said, "She's probably been unconscious for over a month. Because Ya Li was unconscious, that girl Le Qianxue came back. Xiao Yu, what happened?"

[Sister Xue'er and Ya Li possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. If Xue'er is there, it would be reasonable for Ya Li to wake up sooner. I hope they can continue their relationship.]

Qian Gu Huang Yu smiled and shook her head. "It's nothing."

A flame of gossip suddenly ignited in Ning Qingyu's eyes. "Xiaoyu, speaking of which, I feel that Le Qianxue and you might be the same kind of people."

A strange look flashed across Qian Gu Huang Yu's eyes. "Mom, don't make wild guesses!"

...

The following day, at the Star Luo Imperial Palace.

In a side hall, Dai Lingxun, Enci, Mutian, and Chenyi were sitting around a table, discussing how to deal with the Five Gods' Decree.

"Palace Master Chen, what do you think of the current situation? Is it worth the Tang Sect taking a gamble?" Dai Lingxun looked at Chen Yi and said with a smile.

When Chen Yi learned about the widely publicized Eternal Phoenix Feather and the Five Gods' Battle of the Body Sect, she realized that this was the method Dai Lingxun had mentioned for obtaining the Soul Armor.

Using the incident of Liu Yueyi, a disciple of the Body Sect, being detained by the Spirit Pagoda as a pretext, they forced Qian Gu Huang Yu to agree to the bet.

On the night she learned about this, Chen Yi discussed it with Ning Qinglan and Long Yeyue.

Although Long Yeyue is not a member of the Tang Sect, she is, after all, the Vice Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion and a Limit Douluo, so it is natural that she must be involved in this discussion.

Ning Qinglan was naturally unwilling. Not to mention that Qian Gu Huang Yu was her niece, given her current relationship with Ning Qingyu, it wouldn't be difficult for her to get herself a fully equipped soul armor.

Moreover, the Tang Sect and the Spirit Pagoda have just opened a bank together and are currently in a honeymoon period. If they were to side with the Star Luo Empire against the Ancient Phoenix Feather at this time, it would undoubtedly anger the Ancient Dieting and Beigong Li.

At that time, the relationship with the Spirit Pagoda will inevitably deteriorate, which will seriously affect the development of the Tang Sect's Spirit Bank.

However, Long Yeyue strongly supports joining forces with the Star Luo Empire to deal with Qian Gu Huang Yu, not only because she still remembers the humiliation she suffered when Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na took the entrance exam for Shrek Academy.

Long Yeyue still felt that it was best to keep the secret of how the Soul Armor was made in Shrek Academy's hands.

Otherwise, what if the relationship with the Spirit Pagoda deteriorates in the future, and the Spirit Pagoda refuses to provide soul armor to the Shrek Academy members?
Although Chen Yi rationally felt that Long Yeyue's view might be more correct, with Ning Qinglan around, it was unlikely that Chen Yi would follow reason.

Moreover, Long Yeyue's idea has one prerequisite: they must win.

What if we lose?
If they lose, not only will they not be able to obtain the crafting method for the Soul Armor, but their relationship with the Spirit Pagoda will also deteriorate, and it will also affect the sisterly relationship between Ning Qinglan and Ning Qingyu.

Unable to reach a conclusion, they directly consulted with Jun Shengbai, the leader of the Tang Sect, and Bedexun, the leader of the Shrek Sea God Pavilion.

After discussing it, Jun Shengbai and Bei Dexun finally decided to let Chen Yi and the others help the Xingluo Empire.

Anyway, Chen Yi and Long Yeyue are both deputy positions, not the top positions. It would be best if they won, but if they lost, they could say that Chen Yi and the others were too far away from the Sun Moon Federation.

The signal was bad, and there were problems with the transmission of information. Although Bei Dexun and Jun Shengbai's original intentions were good, they were misexecuted due to the problem with the transmission of information.

In short, Jun Shengbai and Bei Dexun are good, and Chen Yi and the others are good too, but the soul guidance information transmission is bad.

Faced with Dai Lingxun's offer, Chen Yi said, "Since we promised His Majesty, the Tang Clan will naturally not go back on its word."

Enci smiled and said, "Palace Master Chen, you will definitely not regret the decision you made today."

Chen Yi nodded slightly. She had already thought of a plan. The Star Luo Empire and the Body Sect would definitely not let her be the first to go on stage.

The way to win the Five Gods' Showdown is to win all five matches; losing a single match or drawing a single match is not acceptable.

If Qian Gu Huang Yu had already lost or drawn with someone before meeting him, it would mean that Qian Gu Huang Yu had already failed. In that case, he could simply draw with Qian Gu Huang Yu.

If Qian Gu Huang Yu had a perfect record before meeting him, then he would deliberately lose so as not to offend either side.

Just as the four were having a pleasant conversation, a minister rushed in.

Enci frowned slightly. "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

The minister said, "Your Excellency, the Underworld Emperor Halosa has led his forces to invade our Lingbing military base, and the army has suffered heavy casualties."

"Most importantly, the several god-level mecha pilots who were candidates to engage in mecha battles with Qian Gu Huang Yu all suffered injuries of varying degrees."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in the mech battle of the Five Gods as promised."

Grace's expression instantly turned somewhat grim. The injury to the mech pilot was only one aspect; more importantly, why did Harosa suddenly make a move?

The minister added, "We conducted a crackdown on evil spirit masters a few months ago, and now the military's top brass suspects that this was Harosa's retaliation for our operation."

Mu Tiandao said, "Your Majesty, after the Five Gods' Battle, I will lead the Body Sect to cooperate with Brother Enci to deal with the Holy Spirit Cult."

For Mu Tian, ​​Liu Yueyi was the hope for the revitalization of the Body Sect, and he absolutely could not accept any accident happening to her.

Therefore, he spared no effort in trying to win over Dai Lingxun.

Seeing that things had turned out this way, Chen Yi could only say, "Evil Soul Masters are the common enemy of all Soul Masters, and my Tang Sect is willing to do its part to fight against the Holy Spirit Cult."

Seeing that Mu Tian and Chen Yi had both expressed their support, Dai Lingxun's expression softened a bit. She said, "Thank you all for your willingness to lend a helping hand, but the problem now is that several of the Star Luo Empire's god-level mecha pilots are injured and probably unable to fight."

Mu Tian looked troubled and said, "Our Body Sect has always focused on martial spirits and combat techniques, and we are not good at mechas. What should we do?"

Enci remained silent, instead looking at Chenyi. Helpless, Chenyi could only say, "Let the god-level mecha pilots of my Tang Sect take action. There are several god-level mecha pilots who came with me."

Although Chen Yi didn't want to get too involved with the Star Luo Empire and the Body Sect in the Five Gods' Battle, she had to obey Jun Shengbai's orders because of his higher rank.

"In that case, thank you very much, Palace Master Chen," Enci said with a smile.

...

The Star Luo Empire, the Spirit Pagoda.

"Junior Sister, have you heard? Hades Harosa attacked the Star Luo Empire's Spirit Ice Military Base, severely injuring several God-level mecha pilots, some of whom were even admitted to the intensive care unit," Yue Hongchen said excitedly.

This whole thing started because of her. If Qian Gu Huang Yu doesn't perform well in the Five Gods' Showdown, then she will definitely be implicated as well.

Originally, Yue Hongchen thought that as Bei Gongli's successor, Qian Gu Huang Yu should at least be a god-level mecha pilot, even if he wasn't a level twelve soul master.
However, they were told that Qian Gu Huang Yu didn't even have a mecha, and didn't even know how to pilot one.

When Yue Hongchen learned of this, her heart sank. She felt that the position of deputy tower master was about to slip away before she could even warm up to it.

So when she learned that the Star Luo Empire's Lingbing base had been breached and the mecha pilots were injured, she couldn't help but pop champagne.

Qian Gu Huang Yu smiled slightly, "It seems we're really lucky!"

Yue Hongchen smiled and said, "Should we hold a press conference to express our condolences?"

Qian Gu Huang Yu smiled and nodded.

...

Yue Hongchen was very efficient. That afternoon, he held a press conference at the Spirit Pagoda regarding the invasion of the Star Luo Empire by evil soul masters.

At the press conference, under the spotlight, Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "First of all, we express our deepest sympathy for the plight of the Star Luo Empire."

"But we urge all sectors of society to show concern for the injured and see if they are at risk of survival."

"Besides, this incident also served as a wake-up call for us. We realized that our country has become so weak that a military base could be breached so easily!"

...

When Dai Lingxun saw the press conference for "Eternal Phoenix Feather" at the palace, her expression froze on her face.

The breach of the Lingbing military base was a major incident, and Dai Lingxun was on high alert, fearing that it would be discovered by the public.

If the people discover that their nation's army is so easily defeated by evil spirit masters, they will inevitably lose confidence in dealing with attacks from the Sun and Moon Federation, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Originally, Dai Lingxun held the Five Gods' Duel not only to obtain the method of making the Soul Armor, but also to divert the public's attention.

As a result, the public's attention has been drawn back.

And what did Qian Gu Huang Yu say about the risk of survival? Is that even human language?
Moreover, Qian Gu Huang Yu alone suppressed Xue Di Ye Ling Chang in the Dou Ling Empire, but the most important military base of the Xing Luo Empire was breached by Ming Di Halosa.

In comparison, doesn't this make the Star Luo Empire appear even weaker?
"Damn it! Immediately bring Qian Gu Huang Yu here and make her kneel before this White Tiger Banner!"

Out of anger, Dai Lingxun's ample bosom trembled with her delicate body.

...

One week later, on the day of the Five Gods' showdown.

After finishing her cultivation, Qian Gu Huang Yu smiled confidently on her fair face. Even though today was the mecha battle of the Five Gods' Showdown, she was not worried at all.

The Star Luo Empire National Stadium was already packed to capacity. The stadium, which can hold 100,000 people, was full today, all for that one game.

A match can last anywhere from a minute or two to more than ten minutes. Battles between Soul Masters rarely last very long.

Many people paid high prices for tickets just for this one match. They were mostly curious, curious about what kind of powerful confrontation this ancient battle of the five gods would be.

Dai Lingxun had already launched a massive publicity campaign for the Five Gods' Decree, and now, in order to reduce the negative impact of the military base being breached, she is taking further action.

With the Star Luo Empire's propaganda machine running at full capacity, the Five Gods' Battle was promoted as a war of the century.

Anyway, the propaganda claims that the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather single-handedly challenged the Body Sect, and that the Star Luo Empire remained perfectly hidden, so they weren't afraid even if something really happened.

The stage was also packed with people. Empress Dai Lingxun, the White Tiger Empress of the Star Luo Empire, and Grand Tutor Saint Dragon Douluo Enci had both arrived early.

In addition, Chen Yi, the deputy sect leader of the Tang Clan, and Ning Qinglan, the sect leader of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, sat in the first row to the right of Dai Lingxun.

The Star Luo Empire's Spirit Pagoda Master Yue Hongchen and Spirit Pagoda Envoy Gu Yuena were also positioned in the first row on the right.

However, due to Ning Qinglan's request, she stood next to Gu Yuena, separating Chen Yi and Yue Hongchen, which made the atmosphere less awkward.

Mu Tian, ​​the sect leader of the Body Sect, could only condescend to sit in the second row on the right. No matter what, the Body Sect, which currently only has two Super Douluo, is not worthy of sitting on equal footing with the Tang Sect and the Spirit Pagoda.

Those seated on the left were all subjects of the Star Luo Empire. According to Gu Yuena's perception, among the Star Luo Empire's ministers present, there were only two Super Douluo.

"Nana, has your man arrived yet?" Ning Qinglan asked in a very familiar manner, taking Gu Yuena's soft, boneless hand in hers.

Gu Yuena knew the identity of the person in front of her, so she didn't pull her hand away and said, "I've been here for a while. She's not the kind of person who would be late."

What Gu Yuena didn't say was that, in order to prevent Qian Gu Huang Yu from sleeping in today, she went to great lengths yesterday to finally persuade him to take a day off.

"Is it easy to use?" Ning Qinglan narrowed her eyes slightly, her beautiful eyes hiding a strong fire of gossip.

"What do you mean? Soul Armor or something?" Gu Yuena asked, somewhat surprised.

Ning Qinglan made a surprising remark: "My dear niece."

"Cough, cough, cough," Gu Yuena coughed a few times. [What kind of question is this? Is this even answerable?]

"Is this easy to use or not?" A hint of doubt flashed across Ning Qinglan's beautiful face, and she suddenly exclaimed, "Wait, you wouldn't happen to be a subordinate, would you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Yuena admitted that she had lost her composure. Although she could no longer firmly grasp the position of the superior as she had at the beginning, she could not be regarded as the inferior!

"Looks like I was right!" Ning Qinglan chuckled. "Let me give you a piece of advice: if you're not completely committed to one thing, then you're completely not committed to one thing at all."
