Civilian Soul Masters in Douluo World

Chapter 431 The Spirit Empire's Little Moves
"You should just focus on completing this mission with me and avoid causing any more trouble," Xie Yue sighed.

The gap between Yan and Tie Wu is widening, and Yan can actually give up on making Tie Wu his goal altogether.

"Don't worry, this mission is simple, we'll definitely be able to complete it."

Yan's expression was completely indifferent. To recruit the Soul Master forces on the border, all he had to do was reveal his identity, and they would treat him with utmost respect. This demonstrated the Empire's attitude; they had no choice.

What followed was almost exactly as Yan had predicted: every Soul Master faction dared not show any disrespect to the people of the Spirit Empire. Faced with the Spirit Empire's recruitment, they, without any backing, had no choice whatsoever.

"We are willing to submit to the Martial Soul Empire, but we are located on the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire. If the Heaven Dou royal family attacks us..." The sect leader of Zhongyu Sect said, feigning difficulty.

"Don't worry, as long as you are willing to submit to my Spirit Empire, the Heavenly Dou Royal Family will not dare to make a move against you. Not only your Zhongyu Sect, but all the Soul Master Sect Masters in the border region will become part of my Spirit Empire," Xie Yue said calmly.

Among the Soul Master forces in the border region, the Zhongyu Sect is a first-class force. The sect leader of the Zhongyu Sect has a Soul Power level of 78. Apart from Meng Shu, an eight-ring Soul Douluo, who can pose a threat to him, he is the strongest in this generation.

But he dared not show any dissatisfaction when facing the Soul Masters of the Spirit Empire.

The people in front of him, who were not even thirty years old, already possessed soul power fluctuations that were no less than his.

"If it is truly as you say, then I will naturally have no worries and will devote myself wholeheartedly to serving the Martial Soul Empire," the Sect Master of Zhongyu Sect said respectfully.

"Of course."

After Xie Yue finished speaking, he didn't linger for long before leaving with Yan and several other Soul Masters. He already knew about the Soul Master forces in this border area, and the strongest Soul Master force was the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny's family.

"Xie Yue, it seems that the Dragon Lord and Snake Lady have submitted to the Thunder God Sect. Should we take direct action and wipe out their entire family?" Yan suddenly asked.

"Can you handle the Dragon Lord and Snake Lady?" Xie Yue glanced at Yan. The Dragon Lord and Snake Lady's martial soul fusion skill had the combat power of a Title Douluo, so how could they possibly deal with it?

However, Xie Yue also had his own opinion. The Dragon Duke and Snake Lady were difficult to deal with, but their families were all in this border area. As long as they knew that the surrounding Soul Master forces had all submitted to the Spirit Empire, and that the Spirit Empire wanted to bring this area into its territory, they would think that if they didn't think about themselves, they would at least think about their families.
This is also part of the Spirit Empire's plan: to gradually erode the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire through the power of spirit masters without launching a war.

At that time, the addition of these border Soul Master forces will not only strengthen the Martial Soul Empire but also gradually encroach on the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire, achieving two goals at once.

And the cost they incurred was extremely low.

By the time the Heavenly Dou Empire reached a conclusion, it had already lost a considerable amount of territory.

However, this only applies to the Heaven Dou Empire. The ruler of the Star Luo Empire has changed and has abandoned the old methods. If you attack the border of the Star Luo Empire, you will be discovered immediately and counterattacks will be launched.

Xie Yue and his group appeared in front of a mansion, and the guards at the gate immediately stopped them.

"stop!"

"Who are you? State your origins so we can inform them."

The two guards had some confidence; this was the territory of the Dragon Duke and Snake Lady's Soul Master family, the most powerful Soul Master force in the area.

"Executive Officer of the Martial Soul Empire, Xie Yue!" Xie Yue said.

Upon hearing the name of the Spirit Empire, the two guards' expressions changed. This was still within the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire, yet people from the Spirit Empire dared to appear here.

The guards were clearly startled and immediately ran into the mansion.

At this moment, Meng Shu was chatting with Bing Yun, while Meng Yiran sat below. Behind the screen in the main hall were Meng Yiran's parents, who were very interested in this disciple from the Thunder God Sect.

"I heard that he is quite young, but he already has the cultivation of a Soul Saint. He will be able to break through to the Title Douluo level in the future," said Meng's mother.

"Of the five peak masters of the Thunder God Sect, four are Title Douluo. I heard that Bing Yun is being groomed to be the next peak master of Thunder Dragon Peak, so he's sure to be able to advance to Title Douluo." Knowing more, Meng's father couldn't help but feel a little smug thinking about his future status. The Thunder God Sect is now one of the two most powerful and transcendent soul master forces, on par with the Clear Sky Sect.

Just then, the gatekeeper rushed into the main hall.

"Patriarch, something terrible has happened! People from the Spirit Empire have arrived."

"What?" Meng Shu was shocked. The war had just ended, and the Martial Soul Empire was already starting to make trouble?

"How many people have come, and what are their cultivation levels?"

Meng's father immediately came out and asked, his tone filled with strong vigilance.

Her gaze involuntarily fell on Bing Yun. Could he be planning to harm her son-in-law? She had to do everything in her power to protect him.

"There are seven people in total, and their cultivation levels are currently unknown," the gatekeeper hurriedly replied.

"You should not make any rash moves for now. I will go out and take a look," Meng Shu said.

They arrived outside the mansion with the guards and saw the seven members of the Evil Moon Clan.

"Isn't Lord Long going to invite us into his residence? Isn't this a terrible way to treat guests?" Xie Yue said with dissatisfaction upon seeing Meng Shu's arrival.

“Since this is the way to treat guests, then it’s how to treat guests. But you don’t seem like guests to me,” Meng Shu said, his face showing suspicion.

"Haha, since Lord Long is so wary, I won't waste any more words."

Xie Yue directly stated his purpose: to have Long Gong lead his family to join the Martial Soul Empire.

"Soon, my Martial Soul Empire will take over this place. We have come here only to give you a warning, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties among our people."

"Hmph, then let's try. I, Lord Long, have been in the world of Soul Masters for so many years, and I have never been afraid."

Xie Yue thought he could control his opponent, but little did he know that Long Gong had already seen through him. The more he said, the more Long Gong discovered.

Having lived for so long, how could the Dragon Lord be intimidated by a mere youth like Xie Yue?
Xie Yue began to explain that the Soul Master forces in this area had all submitted to the Spirit Empire, attempting to put pressure on the Dragon Lord. However, the more he said this, the more flaws he exposed.

Long Gong had completely seen through Xie Yue and his group's purpose.

"Hmph, go ahead and make your move, I, Meng Shuquan, will take it all."

"you……"

"Old man, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences. Do you really think we won't dare to make a move?" Yan said angrily.

Two yellow, two purple, and three black soul rings appeared beneath him as he leaped toward the Dragon Lord, his soul rings shimmering.

"Then let this old man see the strength of you youngsters."

With two yellow, three purple, and three black avatars, how could the Dragon Lord, a Soul Douluo, possibly fear the threat of a Soul Saint?

Seeing Yan make a move, Xie Yue immediately released his martial soul and soul rings, intending to launch a siege against Long Gong.
