Douluo Continent: My life is ruined, but I become stronger by taking on disciples.

Chapter 151 Return Gift

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

Before the person arrived, the sound of hurried footsteps approached from afar outside the palace.

Soon, a person carrying a box rushed in in a panic.

In his haste, he tripped hard on the threshold of the palace and fell forward.

Due to inertia, the box he was holding also flew out of his hand.

"Snapped!"

The box fell to the ground, and the lid popped open.

The contents did not immediately pop out, but red liquid splattered out.

Dai Yutian's face darkened, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes. He coldly looked at the figure lying on the ground and roared angrily.

"What's the panic! This is outrageous! Tell me what happened at once!"

The messenger trembled, his voice filled with terror, and stammered, "Your Majesty, we have just received news that a group of terrifyingly powerful individuals have suddenly appeared at the border. They... they are heading straight for the palace!"

It's said that all those people were Title Douluo level, and... and the leader was that traitor from the Zhu family, Zhu Zhuqing!

"What?!"

Dai Yutian suddenly stood up, causing the dragon throne to shake, his eyes filled with disbelief and anger.

"Zhu Zhuqing? How dare she! And where did those Title Douluos come from?"

At this moment, Empress Zhu Yali of the Star Luo Empire, who was behind the scenes, heard the name Zhu Zhuqing and quickly walked out.

Her gaze was sharp as a knife as she fixed it on the person who sent the message: "Zhu Zhuqing? You mean Mu Bai's fiancée?"

The man immediately broke out in a cold sweat, daring not to conceal anything: "That's right, according to the news from the border guards, the leader is none other than Zhu Zhuqing from the Zhu family."

The Zhu family was a vassal of the Star Luo royal family, and the people of the Star Luo Empire always remembered Zhu Zhuqing, the defector.

Zhu Yali's expression was solemn; she knew Zhu Zhuqing's temper very well.

Given how the Zhu family treated her in the past, their reappearance this time suggests they have ill intentions.

She was able to become empress among Dai Yutian's many wives and concubines, which naturally shows that she was shrewd and calculating.

She remained calm and spoke softly to Dai Yutian.

"Your Majesty, do not worry. Even if many Title Douluos are hostile to us, we have nothing to fear. After all, the Star Luo Empire has more than thirty Title Douluos, as well as many Soul Douluos and Soul Saints."

"As long as we gather all the generals together, even the strongest enemy will find it extremely difficult to breach the palace!"

Dai Yutian agreed with Zhu Yali's words, took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice, "As the Empress said, please invite all the generals back first."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Just as the messenger was about to get up, he suddenly heard Dai Yutian's message.

"By the way, what's the deal with that box?"

Dai Yutian discovered the box right from the beginning.

However, nothing was found, and since the news was so sensational, it was never mentioned.

The messenger, having regained his composure, explained, "This box was sent by the Heavenly Dragon Empire's royal family along with that message. I have no idea what's inside."

"Don't know? Then why don't you pick it up right now!" Dai Yutian snorted coldly, starting to consider whether to change the messenger.

The man quickly stepped forward, bent down, and picked up the box.

However, just as he straightened up, an oval-shaped black shadow fell out of the box and landed on the ground with a thud.

After seeing the oval-shaped dark shape clearly, the person screamed and threw the box away.

"Yes, General Ling... General Ling Lei's head?!"

Dai Yutian, who was about to lash out, suddenly narrowed his eyes upon hearing the name Ling Leishi.

Upon closer inspection, a familiar face came into view.

"What?! Ling Leishi's head?! He's dead!"

Dai Yutian and Zhu Yali exclaimed in surprise at the same time, exchanging a glance and seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

Although Ling Leishi was the weakest of the titled Douluo in the Star Luo Empire, he was still a titled Douluo after all.

He volunteered to lead the charge for the Star Luo Empire, and was aided by an army of 100,000.

With such a lineup, they could easily slaughter a small kingdom.

Ling Leishi wasn't stupid either; the location he wanted to attack was one of the weakest kingdoms in the Tianlong Empire.

But only a short time has passed, and there is still no news about his army; instead, his head has been returned to him by the people of the Tianlong Empire.

Thus, it can be concluded that Ling Leishi and his 100,000-strong army have become the dead souls of the Tianlong Empire.

Dai Yutian clenched his fists, his face extremely grim.

Is sending back Ling Lei Boar's head a provocation against me, the Star Luo Emperor?

wrong?

How did the Tianlong Empire know that I was going to send troops against them?

The fact that they were able to kill Ling Leishi at least shows that they were prepared in advance.

Suddenly, Dai Yutian thought of something, and his face immediately darkened.

"Could it be that the Star Luo Empire has a spy from the Heavenly Dragon Empire?!"

However, Dai Yutian immediately rejected this idea as soon as it came out.

Because the only people who knew in advance that the Star Luo Empire was going to send troops to the Heavenly Dragon Empire were him and those titled Douluo.

The titled Douluo of the Star Luo Empire were originally Yuanlong-level figures in the Star Luo Empire.

No matter how you look at it, there's no way they could betray the Star Luo Empire.

Just when he was completely baffled, an idea was born in his mind.

"No, the Heavenly Dragon Empire was already on par with the Spirit Hall two years ago, so its strength must be formidable. With such strength, I don't believe they don't have ambitions."

"In other words, while I am eyeing the Tianlong Empire, the people of the Tianlong Empire are also eyeing the Xingluo Empire."

"Now that the Star Luo Empire is prosperous, it has broken the peace. The people of the Heavenly Dragon Empire have been waiting for this opportunity."

Thinking of this, Dai Yutian's face was covered by dark clouds, so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water.

Empress Zhu Yali, who was standing to the side, also looked solemn. She had not expected that the box contained the head of Ling Leishi, a titled Douluo.

Defeating a Title Douluo is easy, but killing one is a difficult task.

Just like in the original story, Yue Guan, the level 95 Chrysanthemum Douluo, could defeat Dugu Bo, who was at level 92, but he was unable to kill him.

Unless you're a Title Douluo of level 97 or 98 or higher, it's very difficult to kill another Title Douluo.

The Heavenly Dragon Empire was able to kill Ling Leizhu and slaughter his entire army of 100,000 in such a short time without them noticing.

It is clear that they were prepared in advance; otherwise, it is impossible that not a single one of the 100,000 troops would have returned alive to report the news.

They didn't need to wait until the Heavenly Dragon Empire returned Ling Lei Boar's head to find out what had happened.

The palace was silent, except for the occasional drip of thick blood from Ling Lei Boar's neck, which made a dull sound.

Dai Yutian was, after all, the ruler of a country, and he quickly calmed down.

After some deliberation, he made a decision and gave orders to the messenger.

"Go and inform the other generals at the Title Douluo level that General Ling Leishi has died and that the Title Douluo of the Tianlong Empire have invaded. Tell them to stop their attacks on the Tianlong Empire and gather at the palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The messenger, as if granted a pardon, quickly departed.

Inside the palace, both Dai Yutian and Zhu Yali had solemn expressions.

They underestimated the strength of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, as well as its ambition.

They, like their Star Luo Empire, have the ambition to unify the continent.

Meanwhile, news of the Star Luo Empire's attack on the Heavenly Dragon Empire spread throughout the entire continent.

Both the Spirit Hall and Seagod Island received the news, which presented an opportunity for them.
