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

Chapter 402 Things are different now
"Your Highness."

"How is His Majesty's condition?"

Inside the tent, Xu Jiujiu frowned as he looked at the soldiers before him.

"Your Highness, His Majesty's main body is merely exhausted and not seriously injured. News from the Body Sect indicates that he should be fully recovered by tomorrow morning."

Xu Jiujiu nodded upon hearing this, but her expression didn't improve much.

In today's daytime battle, the three great empires were almost defeated by one person. Although the Sun Moon Empire did not pursue them too deeply, if there is no way to deal with them, the three great empires will only continue to retreat tomorrow.

"Does Your Majesty have no way to deal with the opponent?"

"No."

Xu Jiujiu shook his head in disappointment. "What about Shrek Academy? Have they replied yet?"

"nor."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu looked up at the others in the tent.

The Star Luo Empire also had to be vigilant about the battlefield near Yuming City in the south, so it didn't send too many Title Douluos here. However, most of the experts from the Douling Empire and the Tianhun Empire were concentrated here.

"Who will be able to fight us tomorrow, and what methods can be used to extricate us from this predicament?"

"This……"

The group looked at each other, their gazes sweeping over each other, but no one dared to speak.

If even Poison Undying couldn't defeat an opponent using his second awakening, then no one else could possibly come up with a way to deal with him.

"Your Highness, the opponent's strength is unfathomable. Even Your Majesty in your true form is no match for him. The only way to deal with him now is to use numbers to win. If several experts act together, we might be able to hold him off."

"This is inappropriate."

Just as one of the titled Douluo was about to speak, someone next to him interrupted him, "You all saw clearly what that person did today. Even though His Majesty the True Body held him back, the army of undead on the ground has not dispersed yet."

"Even if we all rush in, we probably won't be able to stop him completely. Besides, the Sun Moon Empire has other experts. If our people are tied down by the enemy, the rest of the country will be doomed."

"Moreover, you all experienced that person's strength during the day. Apart from His Majesty the True Body, even if we all attacked together, how long could we hold him off? In my opinion, perhaps only if His Majesty the Gluttonous and His Majesty the True Body of Shrek Academy attack together would we have a chance."

"Hmph." Someone sneered from the side, "The undead are nothing but evil soul masters who only know how to use external forces. The Sun Moon Empire is cooperating with evil soul masters so openly. I think it won't be long before chaos breaks out within their ranks."

At this point, everyone's faces showed a hint of indignation. Although they weren't Soul Masters, they could still see that the Soul Tools Lin Xiao wore had played a significant role in the battle during the day.

However, none of the three great empires have level nine soul masters. Even if someone could see the secrets of Lin Xiao's soul tool, their level wouldn't be able to discern exactly how much that soul tool could enhance Lin Xiao's strength.

The arguing continued in his ears, and he remained seated in the main seat for a long time without saying a word.

Despite her young age, she made great achievements on the battlefield, even forming a three-nation alliance with the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Fighting Spirit Empire. Using the same methods as Ju Zi, she launched a counterattack in the south while breaking through the northern defenses and charging all the way to the foot of Heavenly Dou City.

But in the face of absolute power, the strength of one person is an insurmountable barrier for them.

Some of the titled Douluo gradually came to understand. Although they had always looked down on Soul Masters who relied on external forces rather than their own strength to fight.

However, in actual combat, this "external force" is also a form of strength. The reason why the Sun Moon Empire in the past never produced a Super Douluo was that countless Soul Masters felt that Soul Masters were far inferior to Soul Masters.

Now, many are beginning to waver. Since reaching the Title Douluo realm, their strength has stagnated for a long time. Perhaps using soul tools is a way to improve their power?

"Report——"

Inside the tent, some people were cursing in hushed tones, while others were deep in thought with their eyes closed. Just then, someone else rushed into the tent.

Xu Jiujiu's eyes lit up. "Could it be that the spies in Tiandou City have sent a message?"

However, the soldier reporting the news had a strange expression on his face.

"Or is this trip not going well?" Xu Jiujiu realized something.

"Your Highness, our scout has returned safely, but his whereabouts have been discovered by the Sun Moon Empire."

"What did you say?" Xu Jiujiu's expression changed slightly. Even she couldn't guess why the Sun Moon Empire would release the spy after discovering his whereabouts.

"Bring him up here."

"Yes."

For a moment, the entire tent fell silent. Not only Xu Jiujiu, but everyone else also wanted to know what the situation was like inside Tiandou City.

Soon, a figure with no cultivation level entered the tent. The Sun Moon Empire's soul-detecting devices could detect the soul power fluctuations of soul masters. The three great empires had no way to counter the soul-detecting devices and could only send ordinary people into the city.

"How were you discovered?" At this point, Xu Jiujiu skipped the pleasantries and immediately asked the question that concerned her most.

"Your Highness, I am originally from Tiandou City. After entering the city, I wanted to contact some old acquaintances to find out the situation inside, but I never expected to be betrayed by them."

"But what methods did the Sun Moon Empire use?"

“No.” The soldier shook his head, his face even more bitter. “Your Highness, the situation in Tiandou City is no longer what it used to be…”

As he spoke, he recounted everything he had seen and heard since entering Tiandou City, and also mentioned that not everyone in Tiandou City now wanted to be controlled by the Tianhun Empire's royal family again.

After the Sun Moon Empire entered Heaven Dou City, the lives of ordinary people were not significantly affected; in fact, they became much more convenient than before. For most ordinary people, Heaven Dou City was simply a matter of a new group of people managing it.

"Finally, the people of the Sun Moon Empire asked me to come back and tell others what I had seen and heard."

"Have you found out any other information?"

"Your Highness, we have found out that the expert during the day is the current Grand Preceptor of the Sun Moon Empire. We do not know his name, but everyone else calls him Calamity Douluo."

After listening for a long time, he suddenly leaned back in his chair as if he had lost all his strength. "You can go down now. Take a good rest these few days and don't see any outsiders."

"Yes." The soldier stiffened slightly, but still responded and slowly retreated.

The tent fell silent instantly.

Whether it was Xu Jiujiu or the other titled Douluo around them, the title of Calamity Douluo was not a useful piece of information. What truly disheartened them was that the Heaven Dou City of today was no longer the Heaven Dou City under the rule of the Heaven Soul Empire.
