Civilian Soul Masters in Douluo World

Chapter 503 Sudden Appearance
The fact that the Thunder God Sect would intervene was somewhat beyond Dai Mubai's expectations, but if the Thunder God Sect were to take action, would they allow him to escape back?

Dai Mubai immediately checked the black-robed man's condition; a peculiar lightning mark remained on his wound.

"How could this be?"

The man in the black robe felt a tremor in his heart. When was he marked? How come he didn't feel anything at all?

This sudden turn of events made not only the man in black robes feel uneasy, but even Dai Mubai sensed something was wrong.

"You haven't been to any other places, have you?" Dai Mubai asked coldly.

"That's all. As soon as I escaped, I went straight back to the military camp," the man in black robes said truthfully.

Dai Mubai finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the hiding place of the Fallen Soul Master was not exposed, he would always have a trump card and be able to withstand the risks of failure.

"Someone's coming, you should hide."

The man in black robes returned to the shadows; even Dai Mubai, a titled Douluo, would have difficulty detecting him due to his concealment techniques.

Dai Mubai was on the front lines, and his temporary residence was the same as that of the soldiers—in a military tent.

Now, an elder from the Wind Sword Sect barged in, showing no respect whatsoever for King Dai Mubai.

"White Tiger King, the Sect Master has noticed that the Star Luo Empire's army is starting to fall into disarray. He thinks this is a good opportunity to attack and has sent me to inquire whether we should launch a full-scale attack to take down the enemy's lines in one fell swoop?"

Dai Mubai regained his composure and ignored the actions of the Wind Sword Sect elder.

The Star Luo Empire's army was in disarray because they had learned of the situation in the empire's rear, but had not yet learned of the Thunder God Sect's intervention.

Now is a rare opportunity to launch an attack; if news gets out from the rear, we will lose this chance.

"Since it's such a good opportunity, we can't miss it. With the entire army mobilized, we're bound to take over the enemy lines."

"Alright, I'll go and inform the sect leader right away."

As Dai Mubai watched the departing figure of the Wind Sword Sect elder, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. These seven major sects were becoming increasingly presumptuous towards him.

In his actions, he often overstepped his authority and increasingly disregarded his position as king.

The seven major sects have been having more and more ideas lately, and it's clear that they are also very interested in the Star Luo Empire.

Dai Mubai thought to himself that the seven major sects' goal was probably not just to help him reclaim the Star Luo Empire, otherwise why would they have agreed so easily in the first place?

Recent actions have further confirmed my suspicions.

Outside the camps of the White Tiger Kingdom and the Seven Great Sects, Viper Xin and Thunder Tiger watched as the Fallen Soul Master, whom they had deliberately let go, entered.

"Just as I thought, we can make our move now." Viper Xin said coldly, but the move he was referring to was not to attack the military camp, but to attack the hiding place of the Fallen Soul Masters.

The Fallen Soul Masters controlled by Dai Mubai are hiding in a city, but everything about them has been taken over by Viper Xin.

"I understand you less and less. You seem even more unpredictable than Bingju."

Lei Hu looked at Viper with a mixture of shock and unfamiliar fear in his eyes.

Back in the Thunder Tribulation Realm, I only thought Viper Xin was treacherous and difficult to get along with. But after arriving in Douluo Continent, Viper Xin truly displayed his personal abilities, like a venomous snake hiding in the shadows, whose forked tongue could sense everything.

"But you can rest assured, I am more loyal to the Lord than you are," Viper Singh said simply.

Afterwards, he took Lei Hu to eliminate the hiding places of the Fallen Soul Masters. Tie Li's order was to leave no survivors. Apart from the Fallen Soul Masters in the military camp who were still somewhat useful, all other Fallen Soul Masters had to be killed.

The Thunder God Sect helped the Star Luo Empire eliminate fallen soul masters, but it would not provide assistance in war.

Facing the attacks of the White Tiger Kingdom and the Seven Great Sects, the Star Luo Empire's army was already at a disadvantage. Coupled with the morale issues within the army, it quickly collapsed. "Order all army commanders to retreat immediately."

The commander of the Star Luo Empire immediately issued a retreat order, as holding out would result in severe losses for the army.

This will be very disadvantageous for subsequent defense.

As the head coach, he has to consider all of this carefully.

The empire has not yet fully accepted the military power relinquished by the Duke of Youming. It is said that some generals have led their troops to seek out the Duke of Youming, unwilling to become part of the empire's army.

This shows that the army under the Duke of the Underworld recognized the Duke of the Underworld, not the Empire.

When the Star Luo royal family was the Dai family, it wasn't a big problem, but now that it's the Xu family, it's different.

"Marshal, are we just going to abandon the front lines like this?"

"Otherwise what? Haven't you noticed that the soldiers' morale has been affected, and they can only exert less than 70% of their usual combat power? How can they fight against the Soul Master Legion of the White Tiger Kingdom?"

"But this..."

"There's no 'but' about it, retreat immediately."

"Yes!"

Compared to the situation of the Star Luo Empire, the White Tiger Kingdom camp, which had won consecutive battles, was a completely different story.

The sect leader of the Wind Sword Sect, along with his disciples, used the Wind and Thunder Sword Formation to break through the Star Luo Empire's defenses.

The other six sects followed closely behind, and with the timely retreat of the Star Luo Empire, they easily occupied this line of defense.

The leaders of the seven major sects stood at the forefront of the army, issuing commands to the White Tiger Kingdom's troops in a commanding tone.

"You are responsible for cleaning up the mess. Kill any Star Luo Empire soldiers who are seriously wounded but not dead." As soon as the Black Tiger Sect Master finished speaking, Dai Mubai appeared riding a fierce tiger.

"Any seriously wounded soldiers you see should be given first aid. Those who survive should be asked whether they wish to continue following me, the Third Prince."

If they refuse, let them leave after their injuries have healed.

Dai Mubai's words greatly excited the soldiers of the White Tiger Kingdom. These soldiers were originally separated from the Star Luo Empire's army by Dai Mubai, who was in his capacity as the third prince of the Star Luo Empire.

They are loyal to Dai Mubai because of his legitimate royal status, but that doesn't mean they deny their former identity. They still consider themselves part of the Star Luo Empire, but their identity can only be recognized if Dai Mubai reclaims the throne.

The fact that the seven major sects disregarded the lives of the Star Luo Empire's soldiers left them feeling very uneasy.

"Oh? White Tiger King, what do you mean by this?"

The Black Tiger Sect Master's face darkened. Publicly contradicting him was clearly an attempt to embarrass him.

Two yellow, two purple, and four black soul rings appeared beneath the Black Tiger Sect Master, and the pressure of a Soul Douluo assaulted Dai Mubai.

They tried to make Dai Mubai roll off the tiger's back, so that the king of the White Tiger Kingdom would lose face and dignity in public.

The sect elders behind the Black Tiger Sect also quietly released their oppressive aura.

"It seems the Black Tiger Sect Master is very dissatisfied with me."

Dai Mubai's tiger-like eyes narrowed, revealing a fierce glint. Two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red soul ring appeared, a total of nine rings. The blood-red 100,000-year soul ring was particularly dazzling at this moment.
