Douluo Continent: Become stronger by stealing Tang San's luck!

Along the way, soldiers from the Heavenly Soul Empire could often be seen riding by on horseback.

Tang Lan knew that there were still frictions between the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Douling Empire recently, and they were escalating.

North of Shrek City lies the border region between the three parties. Apart from Shrek City, the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Multi-Realm Empire have already had several clashes on the border.

Both sides have been continuously increasing their troop presence along the border for several months, leading to the current tense situation.

Recently, the Heavenly Soul Empire invited Mu En, the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, to mediate between the two empires and ease the serious conflict.

But to everyone's surprise, Mu En was still in seclusion, which made things even more tense, and even the surrounding people chose to stay at home and move to other places.

All the houses Tang Lan saw along the way showed the same result after multiple investigations: no signs of life.

This place has become a deserted area.

"The infamous wasteland is just ahead. We'll have some directions along the way, so please hold on tight!"

As the sun gradually set behind the horizon, Che Tu, who was sitting in the front, suddenly reminded Tang Lan and the others.

Tang Lan had already seen the desolate land on the map. After crossing the desolate land, the famous Green Mountain City was less than thirty miles away.

This place is called the Wasteland because it was the site of an epic war that took place here when the Heavenly Empire split apart.

According to Shrek Academy's historical records, the Douling Empire and the Tianhun Empire, which split up in the past, deployed hundreds of thousands of troops here and fought for three whole months.

Both sides dispatched countless powerful Soul Master legions for this purpose.

In an instant, the land was shattered and scarred. Even after so many years, the place remains largely unchanged.

The most important factor was the rapid progress made by various parties in the development of soul tools during that period.

In the final stretch, they even used the powerful Soul Guidance Cannon.

Ordinary soldiers would be blown up within an hour of being inside; it was a true meat grinder on the battlefield.

It wasn't until decades later that the real reason became known to the world.

It turns out that the Heavenly Dou Empire split into two major empires, and the powerful soul tools used in the war between the two empires were actually secretly supported by the Sun Moon Empire.

They are located on the other side of the ocean, selling their soul tools in exchange for various conditions.

As a result, the two empires consumed almost half of the former Tiandou Empire's national strength, making the Sun Moon Empire across the ocean unprecedentedly powerful.

Only in the end did a war break out between the two continents.

"Halt! Where did you come from? Unauthorized entry is prohibited here. Go back now!"

Tang Lan and his entourage had not gone far when they were stopped by a group of soldiers from the Heavenly Soul Empire.

The leading soldier rode his horse around the carriage for a long time before speaking to urge it on.

"Go, you lot, lift up the carriage curtains! I want to see who's inside, acting so high and mighty!"

Seeing that Tang Lan and the others did not react, the soldier captain became annoyed and gave an order.

Then, six soldiers went to the three carriages and tried to lift the curtains.

"Hmph, open your dog eyes and see what this is!"

However, the next moment, Ma Xiaotao's cold snort came from inside the carriage.

Tang Lan turned her head and saw Ma Xiaotao take out a token from her ring. The token had a lotus-like pattern on it and was made of pure gold.

The sergeant took it and glanced at it casually, seemingly not paying any attention.

But a few breaths later, the guy tumbled off the horse with a thud.

He then scrambled to Tang Lan's carriage, knelt down, and begged for mercy, saying, "I didn't know you were here, sir! I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness! Please spare my life, sir!"

Tang Lan peered through the crack in the window and could clearly see that the soldier's crotch was already wet.

After seeing the token clearly, this guy was so scared that he wet his pants.

Even so, the other side dared not make the slightest move.

Seeing his men standing there bewildered, the captain cursed, "You bunch of fools! Get over here and kneel down! Do you want to implicate your entire clan?"

Upon hearing this, the ordinary soldiers were terrified and immediately knelt on the ground, burying their heads in the ground and not daring to lift them.

"Let's settle this. You'll escort us safely through this area. We're heading to Qingshan Town to stay for the time being!"

Ma Xiaotao sighed softly, which was considered a forgiveness for these people's sins.

"Yes, sir!"

The latest novel is first published here!

The soldier respectfully handed the gold medal to the coachman, who then passed it on to Ma Xiaotao.

Then this man mounted a fast horse and led his men at breakneck speed ahead, shouting as he went, "The Imperial Advisor is here! Everyone make way! Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"

His voice echoed again and again across this desolate land.

The soldiers and generals of the Heavenly Soul Empire could only stand respectfully on both sides of the road, not even daring to look up at the carriage.

The Heavenly Soul Empire has clear rules regarding status; insubordination is a serious crime, let alone offending a powerful figure like the Imperial Preceptor, who is second only to the emperor.

Everyone knows that the honorary national teacher of the Heavenly Soul Empire is Mu En, the current head of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy.

It was the title of Imperial Preceptor of Destiny specially bestowed upon him by the previous emperor to express his gratitude for Mu En's kindness, and he also specially commissioned the creation of three exclusive golden tokens for the Imperial Preceptor.

He then proclaimed to the world that anyone who saw the Imperial Preceptor Jin Ling was as if they were seeing the Emperor, and that the three armies could be mobilized to execute him first and report later.

It can be said that almost everyone in the entire Heavenly Soul Empire knows that the Imperial Preceptor is a high-ranking member of Shrek Academy.

This time, it should also be a special trip to the imperial city of the Heavenly Soul Empire, for which all soldiers are required to give way to them and fulfill their escort duties.

But after leaving the desolate place, Ma Xiaotao sent these people back.

By the time the group arrived in Qingshan Town, the sun had already set, with only a faint red glow illuminating the horizon.

But the town was extremely lively. If Tang Lan didn't know it was a town, looking at the bustling scene of people coming and going, she would have thought it was a small city.

The reason why Qingshan Town is so lively is ultimately due to the barren land.

As we all know, the Wasteland is a strategic location. Whether it is the Douling Empire or the Tianhun Empire, as long as they occupy the Wasteland, then the land opposite them will be flat and open.

Both sides were able to advance dozens of miles a day, thus gaining the upper hand in the battle.

Therefore, the Heavenly Soul Empire focused on building Green Mountain Town less than thirty miles behind the desolate land.

Although it is called a town, the scale of its buildings is indeed comparable to that of a small city.

Not only are there a large number of troops stationed around it, but it is also a logistical supply base for the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Besides the soldiers of the Heavenly Soul Empire, there was also a group of bounty hunters here. (End of Chapter)
