Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 92 Xu Mingxi's Revenge

On a dark and stormy night, Xu Mingxi looked down at the head of a star in the sky, then towards the direction of the city lord's mansion, a hint of pleasure flashing in his eyes.

"action."

Two figures headed towards the Soul Guidance Research Institute in the city. Xu Mingxi, with the Ninth Elder, estimated that the two elders would arrive at the Sunrise Research Institute, and then flew directly out of the hotel and arrived at the sky above the City Lord's Mansion not far away.

A massive beam of golden-red light descended from the sky, and a tremendous roar resounded throughout the entire Sunrise City. Flames erupted throughout the city lord's mansion, and people were fleeing in panic everywhere.

The city lord slowly rose into the sky, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and glared fiercely at the two people in front of him. If he hadn't been used to wearing an eighth-level stress-relief soul tool even when he was sleeping, he would have been dead.

He did not sense any pressure from the two titled Douluo in front of him. The soul guide cannon appeared in his hand, and a huge amount of energy gathered, intending to hold them back and wait for the arrival of other powerful people in the city.

Xu Mingxi wouldn't give him that chance. Golden crow wings appeared behind him, and with a sudden flap, he arrived directly behind the city lord. The Blazing Sun Cannon exploded close to the city lord's head, completely shattering him.

The city lord's headless corpse fell from the sky, and the soldiers below dropped their weapons and fled. Even the powerful figures rushing towards the city stopped in their tracks, considering whether it would be best to leave first.

Xu Mingxi removed the storage item from the city lord's body, exchanged a glance with the Ninth Elder, and the two began searching the city lord's mansion for soul tools and related blueprints. No one dared to stop them.

On the other side, the two elders simultaneously stormed into the Sunrise Soul Guidance Device Research Institute the moment Xu Mingxi made his move, and swiftly killed the director, who had just entered the Soul Douluo level.

The Eighth Elder intervened and trapped the other researchers, while the two of them took away all the soul tool research data from the research institute.

The Sun and Moon Empire is even stronger than the combined strength of the two great empires in the west, and Sunrise City, deep in the interior, has long enjoyed peace.

Aside from that previous accident, no one expected that someone would be so bold as to risk being hunted down by the Sun Moon Empire to attack Sunrise City, let alone that the city lord, a Soul Douluo and an eighth-level Soul Master, and the director of the Sunrise Research Institute would die so easily.

The four met in Sunrise City. Xu Mingxi and the Grand Elder exchanged a glance, and then descended from the sky with a massive, destructive star and a golden-red beam of light, destroying a small part of Sunrise City.

……

"What did you say? They dared to show up again, and they even destroyed Sunrise City! Do you know what you're talking about?"

Xu Zilong suddenly stood up and smashed the ornaments on the table directly onto the head of the official kneeling below, causing him to bleed profusely.

The official, also a Soul Douluo, dared not resist at all, not even daring to use his soul power to heal his injuries. His head covered in blood, he looked at Xu Zilong sitting above him.

"Your Majesty, among those four bandits is a Title Douluo. With such a surprise attack, apart from Mingdu, there is no city that can resist them."

Their operation resulted in the theft of all soul-guided data from Sunrise City. I suspect they are from Otto and the Oran Empire. Only they would be so eager for the soul-guided technology of my Sun Moon Empire.

Xu Zilong calmed his anger and sat down again, rhythmically tapping the table with his right hand. He knew that someone who had obtained the inheritance of the Sun and Moon Gods would not die so easily in the Demon Forest, but the fact that he was wearing a mask meant that he must have been seriously injured back then.

As he was pondering how to lure the four out, an official suddenly barged in without being announced, reigniting his anger.

"Xu Zheng, you'd better give me an explanation, or don't think that just because you're from the Silver Moon lineage, I won't dare to kill you." The man ignored Xu Zilong's anger, staggered to his knees, and knelt down, his expression full of anxiety and fear.

"Your Majesty, Yuesheng City has been destroyed, and its lord, Ye Ling, has fallen into demonic possession."

"You bastard!!!"

On his way to the Oran Empire, Xu Mingxi heard the news of the destruction of Yuesheng City. The inside story shocked him. The city that seemed clean and holy was actually hiding such filth.

The martial soul of Ye Ling, the city lord of Yuesheng City, is actually a vampire bat, a special martial soul that can increase cultivation speed after absorbing blood.

She could have absorbed the blood of soul beasts, but in the end she chose human blood, which was more effective and easier to obtain.

Now, in order to break through to the Title Douluo level, she has used a soul tool to seal off the entire Yue Sheng City and absorb the blood of the city's residents.

The surrounding villages were destroyed because of Ye Ling, but she ordered Yue Sheng City to be sealed off for a long time. By the time people from the surrounding big cities found out, most of the city's residents were still alive, but they were all ordinary people. Yue Sheng City could be said to have been completely destroyed.

Xu Zilong was furious. Sunrise City and Moon City, two major cities of the Sun Moon Empire, had been destroyed one after another. These people really didn't take him seriously.

The war machine of the Sun and Moon Empire began to operate, imposing a complete blockade. These five wanted criminals had to be found. Every city lord was on edge, fearing they would be the next unlucky victim to be wiped out, and they did everything in their power to search for them.

Ye Ling didn't get very far. Her thirst for human blood meant she would commit bloody crimes every now and then. Gradually, the officers of the Sun Moon Empire figured out her movements and slowly surrounded her.

Finally, Xu Zilong personally took action, using the Heaven-Slaying Sword to cut off Ye Ling's head and hang it above the city gate of Mingdu, deterring all ambitious individuals within the Sun Moon Empire.

Ye Ling had drawn too much attention from the Sun Moon Empire, and Xu Mingxi and his companions had already safely reached the border between the Sun Moon Empire and the Oran Empire, directly entering the Oran Empire.

However, this incident was not entirely without benefit to the Sun Moon Empire. A Soul Douluo powerhouse discovered two teams in a small Soul Beast Forest that were similar to the royal Sun Lineage and Silver Moon Lineage, capable of using the power of the Sun and Silver Moon. Moreover, two of them were Title Douluo.

The Soul Douluo who discovered them respectfully invited them to the palace, where the powerful Soul Douluos of the Sun and Silver Moon lineages personally greeted them.

However, they immediately discovered that these two newly appeared Title Douluos were utterly useless. Not only did they lack knowledge of soul tool technology, their strength was also pitifully weak. As Title Douluos, they couldn't even defeat a high-level Soul Douluo in a one-on-one fight.

When this news reached Xu Zilong's ears, he immediately lost interest in the two lineages and handed them over to the Sun and Silver Moon lineages to do as they pleased.

Although these two lineages from Sun and Moon Valley don't have many strong individuals, the Yangyan Crow and Hanyue Bird martial souls bestowed upon them by the two gods are considered top-tier martial souls, so the next generation can still be nurtured.

Forced into mating, the two clans gave birth to the next generation. Their descendants will forever serve as loyal servants of the Sun and Silver Moon lineages, greatly enhancing the prestige of the Sun and Moon royal families.
