Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 392 War resumes
"Master, Master—"

"Okay, that's almost it."

In the far north, Lin Xiao looked up at the Eternal Tower before him.

He has spent most of his time here over the past few months, only occasionally returning to the Tongming Sect.

Finally, thanks to Netherlight's design, the interior of the Tower of Eternity has been completely transformed.

Now, all that's left is to release the actual "bait".

"Master—"

Another sound rang out, and Lin Xiao turned around to look behind him, only to see the Abomination flying towards him, wrapped in thick clothing.

Even a titled Douluo, in the very heart of this far north, was still trembling uncontrollably.

"Master." Abomination glanced at Lin Xiao with a strange expression and spoke again.

Although it wasn't the first time, every time he saw Lin Xiao seemingly unaffected by the cold in this far north, his opinion of him would subtly rise a few points.

"I could hear your voice from afar. Another disciple has arrived?"

“No, Master, this group of people who came are refugees.” Abomination shook his head.

"Refugees?" Lin Xiao's expression changed slightly. "Ever since the Sun Moon Empire conquered the northern borders of Tianhun and Douling, the number of troops on the front lines has been tight, and there has been no large-scale war for a long time."

"Has another battle broken out somewhere?"

“Yes.” Abomination nodded repeatedly. “According to those refugees, the three great empires somehow learned of the assassination of Emperor Xu Tianran of the Sun Moon Empire and are now launching a counterattack while the Sun Moon Empire is in turmoil.”

"War has broken out simultaneously in multiple locations within the territories of the Heavenly Soul and the Fighting Spirit Empires, and many cities have already been recaptured by the three empires."

"What?" Lin Xiao frowned slightly. He had initially thought that the Sun Moon Empire had made another breakthrough in soul tool technology, which was why they had taken the initiative to attack, but he hadn't expected that the three great empires were taking advantage of the chaos to launch an attack.

However, the assassination attempt on Xu Tianran happened several months ago, so why is it only now coming out?

Judging by the timeline, Xu Tianran's "prince" should not have been born yet, and it seems there is no longer any need to hide it.

Since Kong Deming has kept it a secret for so long, he shouldn't have let the news slip at this crucial moment.

Moreover, unexpectedly, under the monitoring of the high-altitude soul-guided probes, the people of the three great empires also had the means to infiltrate Mingdu again to obtain information.

It seems that the three empires have been busy ever since the start of the continental war.

"No matter what, let's go back first. This place is almost ready, and it's time to bring some disciples here for 'training'."

Lin Xiao glanced back at the Tower of Eternity one last time before flying headed towards the Tongming Sect.

"Experience?"

Aversion followed along, somewhat curious.

"It's nothing." Lin Xiao shook his head, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes. "It's just that I've found a place for some disciples in the sect to vent their frustrations. I'm sure they'll like it."

“But even I can’t stay here for long. If disciples with insufficient cultivation come here…” Abomination didn’t understand the other meaning in Lin Xiao’s words.

“I think it’s perfect. Only in this way can we keep them obediently in the tower.”

For some reason, Hatred felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.

Just as he was about to ask another question, he looked up and saw Lin Xiao's expression suddenly change.

"Master, what happened?"

Even someone as oblivious as Hatred could sense the change in Lin Xiao's expression at this moment.

"I have to go out for a while." Lin Xiao glanced back at Abomination. "Since the war has started again, who knows what other changes might happen here." "During this time, you and Sister Wu Yun and Sister Wu Yu should discuss the affairs of the sect. If any Holy Spirit Sect disciples or refugees come to join us, accept them all."

"Are they all staying?" Abomination asked again, as if something had occurred to him.

"Yes, I have my own plans. You can let Wu Yun make the arrangements."

Lin Xiao looked ahead, his mind churning. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he turned back to look at Zang'e. "By the way, with all this war going on, if you need anyone to help us procure supplies again, remember to send disciples to protect us secretly."

“I’ve got it.” Abomination nodded, and the two soon appeared in the Tongming Sect.

After giving Wu Yun a few more instructions, Lin Xiao left the Tongming Sect and headed west, his gray cloak reappearing to conceal his figure.

In the Mingdu Imperial Palace, Ju Zi's belly was already swollen high, and it seemed that the day of her delivery was not far away.

With the help of a maid, Ju Zi half-reclined on the bed and took the memorial from another maid to read through it.

"Your Majesty, you've been working tirelessly day and night lately; your health should be your priority..."

A palace servant spoke softly, his tone full of concern, but before he could finish speaking, he saw Ju Zi glance at him.

With just one glance, the rest of his sentence got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter it for a long time, his back already covered in a fine layer of sweat.

In just a few months, Ju Zi has changed from the beginning. Although her cultivation level is not high, her aura has grown stronger day by day. With every move she makes, she can make all the palace servants and maids bow down.

"Your Majesty, this was also His Majesty's arrangement. He couldn't bear to see you working so hard day and night, so he..."

"That's all, get up."

Ju Zi didn't make things too difficult for the palace servants in front of her. They were just following orders and didn't know whether the person who issued the order was really Xu Tianran.

He looked down at the memorial in his hand, which had been sent urgently from Tianming City in the south.

Looking at the battle reports, Orange smiled almost imperceptibly, but the smile quickly disappeared.

With a frown, Ju Zi slammed the memorial in her hand aside. "Quickly, invite all the ministers to the palace for a meeting."

"Yes."

Watching the guard's hurried departure, Ju Zi shifted slightly to make herself more comfortable.

Just then, a maid hurriedly entered Orange's room and stood beside Orange without even announcing herself.

"My lady..."

When Ju Zi saw the person who came next to her, her expression changed slightly. She glanced around and lowered her voice.

"Done?"

"Your Majesty, everything is ready."

Orange closed her eyes, let out a long breath, and unconsciously placed her hand on her abdomen.

"I understand, go and prepare."

"Yes, ma'am."

Inside the study, a group of ministers had gathered. Although they had not received direct battle reports from the front, they had their own eyes and ears and had heard some news.

At this moment, everyone looked anxious, waiting for the oranges to arrive.

"Her Majesty has arrived!" A palace maid's shrill voice rang out, and soon, Ju Zi entered the room, supported by two maids.

"I'm sure you've all heard the rumors." Before even taking her seat, Ju Zi spoke up, "It's truly despicable that the three great empires have spread such rumors. I wish I could personally go to the front lines."
