Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

He wouldn't go inside the camp to investigate yet; he needed to get a general idea of ​​the situation first. Besides, he had another destination to explore.

Unable to use mental detection, Ji Lin could only activate invisibility and observe with his naked eye, carefully bypassing some of the tents that Nangong Wan had mentioned. Ji Lin's actions went relatively smoothly.

The Sun Moon Empire's military camp undoubtedly has various soul-guided detection devices, but all of them are for external use rather than internal use.

Who would bother to investigate their own soldiers' tents? In this dark place, no one could possibly spot Ji Lin. Ji Lin was very fast; he circled the entire camp almost once before quietly returning to Nangong Wan's tent.

After close observation, Ji Lin had a complete understanding of the layout of the Sun Moon Empire's military camp. It was almost flawless, if not impeccable. All five soul tool positions were heavily guarded. There were no soul tools for detecting inside the camp in other places, but there were around those five soul tool positions. Anyone who approached them had to be checked.

Even with his invisibility activated, Ji Lin didn't dare get too close. Moreover, he could sense that interconnected magic arrays were constantly running within those soul tool arrays. Although he didn't know their purpose, they undoubtedly provided strong protection and offensive capabilities. One wrong move, and he would be discovered and subjected to concentrated attacks.

Ji Lin's original plan was to find a warehouse in the Sun Moon Empire that stored soul tools, preferably a warehouse that stored soul-guided cannon shells, and then detonate it. That would inevitably create great chaos in the military camp, and then, in conjunction with the attack from the Heavenly Soul Empire, it would have a very good effect.

But now it seems his plan needs to be changed. He hasn't found any warehouses related to soul tools at all. Undoubtedly, these warehouses are all inside the soul tool base. To blow up the warehouses, he first needs to break through the base's defenses. To do that, Chi Yuan would be more capable, but Ji Lin can't do it yet.

What should he do? Ji Lin narrowed his eyes, lost in thought. This was extremely important to him. Without enough chaos, he couldn't gain enough time.

Nothing happened that night, and everything seemed to have calmed down. The Sun Moon Empire increased its aerial detection efforts, but found nothing more. The Heavenly Soul Empire also remained very calm.

The next day, after dinner, Ji Lin said to Nangong Wan, "Find me a quiet place, preferably not in the core area, but any of the five soul tool sites will do. It must be quiet and deserted."

Nangong Wan paused for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "That might be difficult. The areas near those soul tool sites are heavily guarded, and they are equipped with all kinds of detection soul tools. It would be extremely difficult to avoid being discovered and tampering with things. Are you planning to make a move?" As he said this, a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.

Ji Lin said calmly, "Don't worry, even if we take action, I will find a way out for you. You should try your best to find a place for me. If that's not possible, it can be a little far away from the soul tool array, but it should also be far away from us so that we can proceed according to plan."

Nangong Wan knew that he had no choice at all. He was most afraid of Ji Lin being exposed, because once Ji Lin was exposed, the restrictions on his body would be activated, and he did not want to experience the consequences of the restrictions being triggered.

"Okay, I'll try my best."

After agreeing, Nangong Wan hurriedly left the tent. He was naturally much more familiar with the situation in the military camp than Ji Lin.

An hour later, Nangong Wan returned to his tent.

"Ji Lin, I have an idea."

Ji Lin suddenly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "What method?"

Nangong Wan said, "As you know, our Holy Spirit Sect has the authority to supervise the army. Just now, the sect leader gave me an order to inspect several soul tool positions tomorrow afternoon. Among those positions, the two belonging to the Guardian Hand are more troublesome; they don't really respect us. However, the ordinary soul tool army legions responsible for the defense of the other three positions are quite polite to us. Why don't we go together? You can find an opportunity?"

Nangong Wan had taken the healing pills given to him by Zhongli Wu, and his injuries had mostly healed, which is why he received the task from Zhongli Wu.

Ji Lin was delighted upon hearing this. "That would be perfect. It's settled then. You take on this mission, and I'll go with you tomorrow."

"Okay," Nangong Wan agreed, then hesitated for a moment before asking, "What will I do if you start the operation tomorrow?"

Ji Lin reassured him, "Don't worry, I'll come up with a proper solution for you. I'll remove the restrictions on you after I take action. You're a smart person; you should understand that if you expose us then, you'll be in trouble too."

Nangong Wan quickly replied, "Of course, of course. Don't worry, as long as you keep your promise and help me lift the restriction, I will do my best to help you even if you come to me again in the future."

It is a fact that he betrayed the Holy Spirit Cult. Ji Lin even recorded his betrayal with a recording soul tool, holding his weakness in his hands. As long as he is afraid of death, he will never dare to betray Ji Lin.

Ji Lin didn't take Nangong Wan's words about the future to heart. Who could predict what would happen in the future?

For Ji Lin, the priority was rescuing Tang Ya. He didn't care about Nangong Wan; whether he lived or died depended on his luck.

After seeing Nangong Wan off, Ji Lin sealed the tent with a mental barrier, then quickly summoned the Gate of the Dead and discussed the matter with Zhang Lexuan and the others. Three heads are better than one, and Ji Lin alone would inevitably make mistakes. Only by discussing it together could they be absolutely sure of success.

With the information provided by Nangong Wan, the most important part of his plan has been completed. Next, it's time to refine the entire plan, and tomorrow night will be the execution date.

After deliberating for an hour in the undead demiplane, Ji Lin returned to his tent. His mental barrier was perfectly normal and had not been touched. However, instead of resting, he became invisible again, quietly left the camp, and quickly departed from the military camp, heading into the distance, following the route he had scouted out over the past few days.

The Sun Moon Empire's detection soul tools are comprehensive, but this comprehensiveness is not something that all types of soul tools can achieve.

After observing for the past two days, Ji Lin had already found some gaps. With the help of his invisibility ability, he dodged many detection soul tools. Moreover, his ultimate ice could control his body temperature, so the thermal detection soul tool was useless against him. He only needed to avoid the wave detection soul tool and the mental detection soul tool to sneak out of the military camp.

After leaving the Sun Moon Empire's military camp, Ji Lin headed straight for Tianling City, carrying the signal soul tool given to him by Princess Vina.

An hour later, Ji Lin quietly returned to the Sun Moon Empire's military camp, slipped into the camp using the same method, and quickly returned to Nangong Wan's tent.

Preparations are mostly complete; now it's up to tomorrow.

It was already late at night. Ji Lin glanced in the direction of Tang Ya's tent from inside the tent before closing his eyes and entering a meditative state. He needed to maintain his best mental state for tomorrow's operation.

Soon, the next day arrived. Ji Lin stayed obediently in his tent all morning, waiting for an opportunity, until Nangong Wan came to find him.

"Let's go, it's time for my inspection."

Nangong Wan said in a low voice.

Ji Lin nodded, the light around him distorted, and his body disappeared into the void. He followed Nangong Wan out of the tent. Outside the tent, there were not only Nangong Wan, but also six other evil soul masters with lower cultivation levels, all of whom were above the sixth ring. According to Nangong Wan, the evil soul masters sent by the Holy Spirit Cult to participate in the war were at least at the Soul Emperor level on the front lines. Evil soul masters were few in number and extremely difficult to train. They were most likely to be killed or wounded on the main battlefield, so they had to have the ability to protect themselves before they were sent here.

"Let's go," Nangong Wan said calmly, and took the lead in walking forward.

Nangong Wan's inside man proved to be quite effective. Without his help, Ji Lin would not have had such a smooth journey and might have been exposed while probing certain dangerous areas. With Nangong Wan's intelligence, all of this could have been avoided.

In the past few days, Ji Lin had thoroughly investigated the Sun Moon Empire's arrangements. The Sun Moon Empire originally only had ten Soul Master Corps, but after the war began, Soul Masters from all sides were uniformly conscripted by the military, bringing the total number of Soul Master Corps to five. As a result, the Sun Moon Empire now had a total of fifteen Soul Master Corps.

Among them, the five Soul Master Corps of the Guardian Hands are the strongest, while the remaining ten Soul Master Corps are arranged directly according to their serial numbers.

At this time, there are a total of five Soul Master Corps on the front line. In addition to the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps and the Terror Claw Soul Master Corps, there are also the Second, Third, and Fourth Soul Master Corps.

Of the other ten Soul Master Corps, the Royal Soul Master Corps is stationed in Mingdu. Unless Xu Tianran personally leads the expedition, this strongest Soul Master Corps of the Sun Moon Empire will not easily move. The Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps is also currently in Mingdu. The Evil Monarch Soul Master Corps, in coordination with the other two Soul Master Corps, is dealing with the scattered Soul Master teams of the Star Luo Empire within the Sun Moon Empire. The remaining Soul Master Corps also have their own arrangements.

On the main battlefield, the Sun Moon Empire, relying on its five Soul Master Corps and high-end Soul Tools, managed to suppress the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms of Douluo Continent, whose military strength was superior to its own.

With a force several times larger than theirs, they utterly crushed the Heavenly Soul Empire.
