Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 615 The Falling Alliance

On September 21, thirty-five days after the "Spring of Mingdu" operation that led to the fall of four quasi-gods, and thirty-four days after the disappearance of Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na, another major event that shocked the entire Federation occurred.

Chen Xinjie, the former patriarch of the Poseidon family, son of Poseidon Douluo Chen Yiming, and former deputy hall master of the War God Hall, forcibly broke through the Federation's blockade of the Poseidon Legion.

Before the arrival of Federation reinforcements, they took away more than two-thirds of the Sea God Legion's troops with the cooperation of the Tang Sect.

Furthermore, they used the Tang Sect's large-scale storage soul tool to take away a massive amount of resources and various military equipment from the Sea God Legion.

After the Poseidon Legion successfully broke through the blockade, they went directly to the East Sea Legion's base and, together with other members of the East Sea Legion, set up camp after breaking through the blockade.

At the same time, the Central Legion, located far from Mingdu, launched a surprise attack. Led by the Temple of War, the Central Legion fired a total of twenty level-nine fixed-position soul-guided shells at Mingdu, the capital of the Sun and Moon Federation.

While Qian Renxue and Yi Kongshu, stationed in Mingdu, were busy dealing with the level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs, the Central Army took this opportunity to successfully break through the encirclement with the cooperation of the Tang Sect and moved to Shrek City.

The events that occurred on this day are historically known as the "Three Armies Breakthrough," and are also considered the starting point of the later "Sun and Moon Civil War."

...

Mingdu, Parliament, Martial Law Command.

"What on earth are Qian Gu Die Ting and the others doing? The Poseidon Legion is almost wiped out, but they haven't reacted at all!"

After Qian Renxue returned from blocking the twenty level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells fired by the Central Army, she was so angry that she slammed her hand on the table and smashed it.

"Sister Xue, they probably don't trust you at all," Ya Li gently patted Qian Renxue's back, trying to calm her down.

Ten years have passed, and Ya Li has grown into a beautiful young woman. She has also reached the level of a Super Douluo and is now Qian Renxue's adjutant.

"What was originally a great situation has been ruined like this. Does Qian Gu Die Ting care so much about the power in his hands?" Qian Ren Xue said with considerable dissatisfaction.

In Qian Renxue's original plan, she would be in charge of the Central Legion, Di Tian would be in charge of the Sea God Legion, and Bei Gongli would be in charge of the East Sea Legion.

With those three quasi-god level fighters taking action, even with the help of Chen Xinjie and Long Yeyue, it would be impossible to break through successfully.

"Gu Yue Chunqiu went back to live a life of leisure and idleness, while Qian Gu Die Ting and Bei Gong Li stayed in the Spirit Transmission Tower and refused to come out no matter what."

"How can the Federation be run well with such a bunch of insects?" Qian Renxue said with dissatisfaction.

After Qian Renxue finished speaking, she lay down in Ya Li's arms, her azure eyes staring blankly at the ceiling, feeling a sense of powerlessness along with a trace of fear.

Previously, the reason why Qian Gu Huang Yu was able to be invincible was because she built a system of interests centered on herself, spanning the Spirit Transmission Tower, the Holy Spirit Cult, the Star Dou Beasts, the Southern Legion, the Blood God Legion, and numerous small sects.

But now, Qian Gu Huang Yu has disappeared, and the system of interests built around her has collapsed in an instant.

Whether it's the Spirit Pagoda, the Angel Family, the Soul Beasts, or the Holy Spirit Cult, there is no one left who can command all these forces and become their leader.

Qian Gu Die Ting worried that Qian Ren Xue's strength was too great and would gradually erode the power of the Qian Gu family in the future. So he drew a line between himself and Qian Ren Xue early on, even though Qian Ren Xue was his disciple.

Soul beasts would never choose a pure-blooded human as their leader.

Although the Beast God Di Tian had the strength to lead a faction, he had only been in the world for a short time and had not yet built up a strong following.

Moreover, after the death of Gu Yuena, Di Tian was completely disheartened and lost hope for the future of soul beasts. He retreated to the perilous Star Dou Great Forest and became indifferent to worldly affairs.

As for evil spirit masters, that goes without saying. Although Qian Renxue knew that her beloved sister Huang Yu was Mortis, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult.

However, the evil soul masters only recognize the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather, and apart from the Ghost Emperor and Halosa, these few Limit Douluo, they don't even know that Mortis is the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather.

If you want to make a group of evil soul masters join Qian Renxue, who comes from the angel family and is the nemesis of evil soul masters, it would be better to let them commit suicide.

Even within the Yixin Society, disagreements arose. When Qian Gu Huang Yu was around, he was naturally the undisputed leader of the Yixin Society, the eternal sun.

Gu Yuena, who is most closely related to Qian Gu Huang Yu, is the second-in-command of the Yi Xin Hui.

But now that Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na have disappeared together, a vacuum has been created in the highest power of the Yi Xin Hui.

Currently, the highest-ranking members of the Yixin Society are Qian Renxue and Qian Gu Dongfeng, who have directly achieved the status of "Two Suns Soaring into the Sky"!
This led to internal doubts within the Yixin Society about who to follow.

Most people now believe that Qian Gu Huang Yu is dead, so Qian Gu Huang Yu's older brother, Qian Gu Dong Feng, will be the next tower master of the Spirit Pagoda.

Therefore, as Qian Renxue's relationship with the Spirit Pagoda gradually became distant, a split also occurred within the One Heart Society.

Those who want to continue their careers in the military tend to follow Qian Renxue, who is now the commander of the Southern Army Corps and the commander of martial law.

Those who want to leave the military and return to a normal life tend to follow Qian Gu Dong Feng, who will become the next master of the Spirit Pagoda.

“Sigh,” Qian Renxue sighed deeply, “Sister Huangyu, you’ve only been gone for a month, and everything you’ve built has already begun to crumble.”

Thinking about this gave Qian Renxue a headache. She now had to maintain a stable relationship with the Spirit Pagoda while fighting against the combined forces of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.

In addition, Qian Renxue also had to be wary of the Holy Spirit Cult, whose location was unknown. If the Sun and Moon Federation were to fall into chaos, Qian Renxue believed that the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult would definitely be willing to come out and get a share of the spoils.

"Reporting to the Commander, Chen Hanyu of the Sea God family requests an audience."

Outside the door, the guard's voice was filled with surprise as he reported the news.

A look of surprise flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes. [Chen Hanyu? She's perfectly fine in the Spirit Pagoda, what does she want with me?]

However, Qian Renxue eventually let Chen Hanyu in.

After a month apart, Qian Renxue noticed that Chen Hanyu looked tired, and her beautiful blue eyes revealed a sense of resentment and disappointment.

Qian Renxue sized up Chen Hanyu and asked, "Why aren't you staying at the Spirit Transmission Tower? What are you doing here?"

From the first generation of Angel God and the first generation of Sea God, to the second generation of Qian Renxue and Sea God Tang San 20,000 years ago.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Angel Family and the Sea God Family are sworn enemies, not to mention that Qian Renxue already viewed the Sea God Family with prejudice.

Although Qian Renxue could work with Chen Hanyu under Qian Gu Huang Yu, it didn't mean that Qian Renxue liked Chen Hanyu.

Naturally, Qian Renxue wouldn't give this enemy's junior a friendly look.

Faced with Qian Renxue's slightly provocative question, Chen Hanyu replied calmly, "Because I want to achieve something, I don't want to live a muddled life."

Chen Hanyu said, "After I arrived at the Spirit Pagoda, although Qian Gu Die Ting did not make things difficult for me, he also did not give me important positions. He even tried every means to prevent me from contacting the Sea God Legion." "Now, my brother has taken away more than two-thirds of the Sea God Legion. If I had gone there earlier, this would not have happened."

Chen Hanyu actually knew that Chen Yiming originally wanted to pass the position of patriarch of the Sea God family to her.

Therefore, after Chen Xinjie took away most of the Poseidon Legion, Chen Hanyu broke down and came to find Qian Renxue, hoping to get her help.

Qian Renxue smiled faintly and said, "Qian Gu Die Ting can't even tolerate me, its disciple, so how could it possibly tolerate an outsider like you?"

Qian Gu Die Ting now only wants to preserve his and his family's power, and for this reason, he is even unwilling to have too much involvement with Qian Ren Xue.

It's best to maintain a friendly relationship, but avoid getting too involved.

The same applies to Chen Hanyu. Although the Sea God family lost its stronghold, Sea God Island, and the quasi-god powerhouse Chen Yiming, it was completely weakened.

However, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; the Sea God family is, after all, a large family with a history of tens of thousands of years and a profound heritage.

Moreover, Chen Hanyu herself is extremely talented, especially since she has a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Once she grows up, no one in the Spirit Pagoda will be able to compete with her.

Therefore, Qian Gu Die Ting respects and provides benefits to Chen Hanyu, but does not grant her core power or allow her to contact the Sea God Legion. She is simply to be a mascot.

However, for Chen Hanyu, who was eager to make a name for herself, this was undoubtedly fatal.

“It is precisely because the ancient court cannot tolerate me that I have come to find you,” Chen Hanyu said.

Qian Renxue glanced at Chen Hanyu with amusement and said, "If Qian Gu Die Ting can't tolerate you, why should I be able to?"

Chen Hanyu said, "Because you need my power, and you also need the support of the remaining Sea God Legion."

"Even if the Spirit Pagoda lost Gu Yue Chunqiu, it still has two quasi-gods and one demigod, a total of three Limit Douluo."

"Moreover, the Spirit Pagoda is overseen by the master craftsman Qian Gu Qingfeng, and with the network of relationships it has built over the years, it can both attack and defend."

“But you are different. The Angel Family only has two Limit Douluos, you and Le Jingchen, and the only people you can rely on are the Southern Legion’s own people.”

"Most importantly, you are the Commander of Martial Law, now the highest authority in the entire Sun and Moon Federation. Whoever wants to rebel, you are an enemy they cannot avoid."

"However, the Southern Army and Mingdu, which are your base, occupy the south and east of Douluo Continent respectively. Not only can they not help each other, but they will also be attacked from both sides."

As the heir to a powerful force, Chen Hanyu's grasp of the situation was undoubtedly extremely accurate, and she pinpointed Qian Renxue's current predicament in a single sentence.

As the commander of martial law and the current leader of the entire Sun Moon Federation, Qian Renxue's title makes her the biggest target.

Whoever wants to take the position must oust Qian Renxue from power.

Moreover, with the Spirit Pagoda keeping its distance from Qian Renxue and the One Heart Society internally wavering, the only people she can truly rely on are the Holy Angel Family, her main family, and the Southern Legion.

It is undoubtedly impossible for the Southern Legion to contend with the combined forces of the entire Shrek Academy, the Tang Clan, the remnants of the Sea God Legion, and numerous other legions.

"You're out of cards," Chen Hanyu said calmly.

"Hahaha—" A melodious laugh, like the tinkling of silver bells, rang out, but Qian Renxue's eyes revealed a dangerous glint as she looked at Chen Hanyu: "You're right, I do have too few cards in my hand. So what can you give me?"

A confident smile spread across Chen Hanyu's face. "Qingli and I together are no less powerful than any Limit Douluo. As long as I go there, we can take over the remaining Sea God Legion."

"Moreover, we have been rooted in the Sky Sea Alliance for a long time because Shrek Academy is located in the central part of the continent, and the Sea God Legion can only relocate there."

"But they can't move the entire Tianhai Alliance away together. As the rightful heir of the Sea God family, I can secure the support of the Tianhai Alliance for you."

"At that time, you will be able to fully support a two-front war by having the many cities in the south and the Tianhai Alliance as your two major rear bases."

Chen Hanyu spoke with conviction, as if she could already see Qian Renxue agreeing to her proposal.

Qian Renxue laughed, her smile carrying a hint of amusement. "Chen Hanyu, you're absolutely right about one thing: I really have no cards left."

"Then all I need to do is increase the number of cards I have in my hand, and all the difficulties I'm facing will be resolved."

Chen Hanyu took a small step back, a hint of unease flashing in her eyes.

Qian Renxue pressed on, laughing, "Chen Hanyu, have you forgotten two things? I am not only the commander of martial law, but also the older sister of Qian Gu Huang Yu."

"And you are not only the rightful heir of the Sea God family, but also the daughter of the culprit who killed Qian Gu Huang Yu."

"Moreover, as far as I know, most of the people who remain in the Sea God Legion are from Sea God Island, and they are your kin."

“Then I’ll kill you all, which will be avenging my good sister. Then I can inherit her political legacy and rebuild the interest system that spans the Spirit Pagoda and the military.”

"But this time, it's centered around me!"

In the end, Qian Renxue exuded an aura of dominance over the world and arrogance.

Chen Hanyu's pupils suddenly contracted. She had never expected Qian Renxue to make such a decision. Because of her fear, she couldn't help but take a step back.

Qian Renxue pressed on relentlessly, completely forcing Chen Hanyu into a disadvantageous position.

"Wait, you can't do this! I'm also a member of the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather!" Chen Hanyu struggled frantically.

"Who can prove that?" Qian Renxue countered with a smile. "The daughter of Chen Yiming, whose crimes are unforgivable, acted as an inside agent to frame our wise and mighty Speaker. Is that a suitable charge?"

“You know this isn’t true!” Chen Hanyu shouted.

A dangerous glint flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes. "Have you forgotten that I am now the ruler of the entire Federation? Here, the truth is decided by me!"

"Boom."

Chen Hanyu sat down on the ground, her beautiful blue eyes revealing a sense of despair.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue couldn't help but laugh. "Of course I could do that, but I won't."

As she spoke, Qian Renxue stretched out two snow-white jade fingers and pinched Chen Hanyu's fair and delicate face. "Remember, you are not here to form an alliance with me, but I am here to help you out of kindness. Understand your position."
