Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Downstairs at the Federal Headquarters, the young geniuses who were about to head to the Eastern Continent had already assembled, each one full of energy and eager to try.

Lu Jun was the only one missing.

"Strange, why hasn't Brother Lu arrived yet?" Long Chen craned his neck and looked around anxiously.

"Sister Gu Yue, do you know where Lu Jun went?" Everyone else also turned their attention to Gu Yuena.

A strange, almost imperceptible look flashed across Gu Yuena's face as she recalled how Lu Jun had been working tirelessly in the forging room for the past three days, neglecting food and sleep.

She composed herself and said:

"He has some things to take care of, he should be here soon."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a figure rushed over. It was Lu Jun.

However, his condition surprised all his companions.

His face was pale, his eyes were sunken, and his dark circles were like brand marks. He looked exhausted and extremely haggard, a far cry from his usual radiant self.

"Brother Lu, what... what's wrong with you?"

Xie Xie couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Are you alright? Are you okay?" Xu Xiaoyan asked with concern.

"Judging from this, Brother Lu hasn't had a break at all these past few days. He looks so haggard!"

Lu Jun waved his hand weakly, forcing a tired smile:

"It's nothing, it's just... I did some preparations for going to the Eastern Continent, and stayed up a few nights. Well, the preparations are done."

He was gratified. The three days of tireless and frantic forging had yielded remarkable results—three sets of exclusive four-word battle armor, one for himself, one for the Ice Emperor, and one for the Snow Emperor, were already complete!
This undoubtedly gave them a much stronger foundation for their trip to the Eastern Continent.

However, he was not without his concerns.

Before arriving at the assembly point, he received a message from Harosa, informing him that Xu Tiandi had led a team to surround the Yuanen family.

He was grateful to Harosa for his timely intervention, and at the same time secretly glad that Emperor Xu obviously did not have solid evidence and did not know the specific connection between him and the Yuanen family's change of faith, otherwise he would never have given up so easily.

Now that the Yuan family has successfully relocated, and with Harosa's protection and the obfuscation of information, they should be safe for the time being.

Just then, the shadow guards reappeared, pushing Xu Tiandi's wheelchair.

Xu Tiandi's gaze swept over the assembled crowd, pausing briefly on the slightly haggard Lu Jun, but he did not ask any further questions. He simply reiterated the mission objective of this trip to the Eastern Continent as if it were routine: to enter Dragon Valley to obtain opportunities, and then cooperate with the Federation army to wipe out the Green Skull organization and the remnants of the Tang Clan.

After the speech, the group followed Emperor Xu and the Shadow Guards, boarding a special soul-guided vehicle and driving smoothly towards the heavily guarded, cutting-edge soul-guided airfield on the outskirts of Mingdu, which was exclusively used by the top echelons of the Federation.

A massive, streamlined long-range soul-guided transport aircraft, gleaming with a cold metallic sheen, sat silently on the runway, like a lurking beast.

As everyone boarded the plane one by one, Lu Jun, almost dragging his tired body, chose a window seat in the last row. As soon as he sat down, he couldn't resist the strong drowsiness and closed his eyes to fall into a deep sleep.

The intense, master-level forging over the past three days has taken a huge toll on his mental and spiritual energy.

It's easy to imagine how tired he was these past three days. Gu Yuena sat silently beside him, looking at his sleepy profile, her eyes filled with heartache.

As the cabin door closed, the soul-guided aircraft, carrying the Federation's future hopes, slowly took off with a low roar. After adjusting its direction, it suddenly accelerated, transforming into a streak of light and speeding towards the distant and unknown Eastern Continent.

They were not the only ones who went to the Eastern Continent.

At the same time, dozens of soul-guided aircraft and transport planes of various types took off from military airfields in Mingdu and several other major cities, like migratory birds heading straight for the Eastern Continent.

On one of the planes sat the elites of the Dark Department of the Spirit Pagoda, led by Ghost Emperor Ghost Flame, including well-known powerhouses such as Dark Bell Nanali and Dark Hummingbird Dragon Owl.

Ghost Emperor Gui Yan surveyed his subordinates, his voice, transmitted through his mask, carrying a hint of murderous intent:

"Everyone, for this mission, you have all been equipped with the latest four-word battle armor. I believe we will shine brightly in the Eastern Continent and let those demons and monsters see the sharpness of my Spirit Pagoda."

“Speaking of which, little brat,” Nanali swung her legs and asked curiously, “why didn’t Lord Harosa come with us?”

Ghost Emperor Gui Yan adjusted his mask and said calmly:

"Who knows? That lord's thoughts have always been unfathomable and beyond our comprehension."

On another, more luxuriously decorated soul-guided aircraft, led by Leng Yulai, sat some of the powerful figures from the Spirit Pagoda headquarters.

You can also see Qian Gu Qingfeng and his wife Xia Zheng Leng, with their grandson Qian Gu Zhang Ting, as well as several enshrined figures.

Qian Gu Qingfeng looked at Leng Yulai, who was lounging in her chair with sunglasses on, and spoke in a deep voice, with a hint of an elder's tone:
"Yu Lai, it's been many years. You've grown a lot. Judging from your aura, you're only one step away from becoming a Limit Douluo, aren't you?"

Upon hearing this, Leng Yulai merely raised her sunglasses slightly, revealing a pair of eyes filled with a mocking smile, and said sarcastically with a cheerful tone:
"Oh my, Your Excellency is so kind to your juniors. But I'm a carefree person, not as meticulous and calculating as you are."

One sentence left Qian Gu Qingfeng speechless, his face darkening slightly, and he fell silent.

It's easy to imagine how bad the relationship was between the Leng family and the Qian Gu family.

Behind him, Qian Gu Zhangting curled his lip, clearly very displeased with Leng Yulai's behavior.

But it doesn't matter. Grandpa said that as long as we endure it for a while, that will be enough.

If they endure a little longer, their ancient family will become the pinnacle family of the Douluo Continent, without exception!

Thinking of this, Qian Gu Zhangting couldn't help but smile.

In addition, several other aircraft carried military bigwigs such as Le Zheng-en and Yu Guan-zhi, along with their personal guards.

On the ground, in major ports of the Douluo Continent, a massive number of Federation warships and soul-guided fleets set sail simultaneously, forming a mighty torrent of steel that cut through the waves and headed towards the Eastern Continent.

In the sky, swarms of aircraft roared past; on the sea, formations of steel behemoths stood. A long-planned, large-scale military operation aimed at completely pacifying the Eastern Continent and eliminating its internal enemies had begun in full swing.

The shadow of war quickly enveloped the distant eastern continent.

Now, the war is about to spread to the Eastern Continent.

Their goal for this trip is to completely eliminate the Green Skull organization and the remnants of the Tang Clan! (End of Chapter)
