A Bite of Douluo Continent

Limit Douluo!

The fact that this woman could still feel the threat of death despite his level 97 soul power meant she was undoubtedly at the Limit Douluo level.

Wait… the other person’s face, though young, gave me a familiar feeling…

"Golden Phoenix Douluo?!" The Body Sect expert exclaimed in surprise, his heart filled with shock.

She's still alive, and she's already broken through to the Limit Douluo level.

"Congratulations on Golden Phoenix Douluo's breakthrough in cultivation." Having also sensed the power of Ying Ruoruo's cultivation, Dai Youyuan and Xu Changling exchanged a glance and said with a smile, "The Sea God Pavilion has a second Limit Douluo, congratulations!"

“There’s no need for that,” Ying Ruoruo said softly. “Let’s begin the talks directly.”

Her gaze turned to the Sun Moon Empire, her eyes seemingly holding a deeper meaning. "You two have come from afar from the Sun Moon Continent. We know nothing about you. Why don't you please introduce yourselves?"

“Very well.” Zhou Yuan smiled slightly. “To be honest, we were caught off guard by the appearance of another new continent outside the Sun and Moon Continent. Therefore, we sent a fleet here as soon as we discovered it. We did not expect it to be so prosperous. Although the Sun and Moon Continent has a vast land area, it has many mines and mineral veins and the land is not fertile. Therefore, its development is far from that of this place. I am ashamed, I am ashamed.”

Ying Ruoruo exchanged a glance with the Tian Dou Xing Luo Empire representative, then smiled slightly.

"Envoy, there's no need for such modesty. I've heard that the Sun Moon Continent possesses soul tools that have been lost to my Douluo Continent for many years. It seems that the two continents once had some interaction. May I ask, is the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire... surnamed Xu?"

A glint flashed in Xu Changling's eyes.

He deduced from some clues about the Sun Moon Empire's delegation that they had an unbroken lineage of soul tools. How did Shrek City know this?

They've only just arrived; they shouldn't know much about the Sun Moon Empire.

and…

Xu Changling frowned slightly.

Is the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire surnamed Xu?

徐…

A glint of light flashed in his eyes as he turned to look at Dai Youyuan beside him, and then at the Snow Wolf Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.

He happened to have studied the origins of the now-lost soul-guided devices.

It is said that the Soul Guidance Device was developed by a powerful figure surnamed Xu ten thousand years ago. At that time, the Douluo Continent was not yet divided into the Heaven Dou and the Star Luo Empire, and was rife with war. This powerful figure surnamed Xu rose rapidly with the help of the Soul Guidance Device, becoming an undeniable force on the Douluo Continent, and was on par with the Xue family of Heaven Dou, the Dai family of Star Luo, and the Qian family of the Spirit Hall.

However, such powerful figures have completely disappeared from the Douluo Continent for unknown reasons, and even their soul tools have become a thing of the past with no one to inherit them.

Could it be... that the Xu family of the Sun Moon Continent are descendants of that powerful Xu?!

Upon hearing Ying Ruoruo's meaningful question, Zhou Yuan's expression suddenly changed.

When was it leaked?

Why is the other party so knowledgeable about the situation on my Sun Moon Continent?

The company's Youth League branch suddenly had an activity this afternoon... so today's update will probably have to wait until tomorrow. I'm so sorry!

Chapter 587 The Most Magnificent Chapter in the History of Soul Tools

After all, he was the prime minister of the Sun Moon Empire. Even under such circumstances, Zhou Yuan quickly regained his composure.

He composed himself and looked at Ying Ruoruo, who had asked the question. "Senior, the royal family of my Sun Moon Empire is indeed surnamed Xu, but whether the two continents had any connection in the past... at least there is no record of this within my Sun Moon Empire. We do not know. In fact, just a month ago, we even thought that the Sun Moon Continent was the whole world."

"A frog in a well." The expert from the Body Sect scoffed disdainfully, then continued to sit in his seat.

Just as Ying Ruoruo was about to continue speaking, her expression suddenly shifted slightly, and she turned her head to look in the direction of the council hall's main entrance.

Two figures suddenly appeared in the council hall.

"You're saying that a month ago, the Sun Moon Continent didn't even know about the Douluo Continent?" Qi Po Xiao slowly walked towards Zhou Yuan, his deep eyes filled with coldness. "Then why did the Sun Moon Continent begin preparing for war three years ago?"

"What?!" Everyone in the council hall stood up at that moment.

Zhou Yuan's face was full of astonishment, completely unaware of how the person in front of him knew such a secret.

Beside him, De Hongchen's expression turned completely serious.

The pressure he felt from these two people who had just entered the council hall was even greater than that from the Limit Douluo powerhouse named Ying Ruoruo!

Almost instantly, he guessed the identities of the two people in front of him.

Aside from these two, everyone else was instantly thrown into turmoil.

They started preparing for war two years ago?!

The Sun Moon Empire on the Sun Moon Continent had no external enemies before, so there was no need to guess what their preparations for war were for.

If Qi Po-xiao hadn't pointed it out, everyone would have been kept in the dark, believing that the other was really like them, until now when they finally realized who they were.

So, the other side started preparing to invade Douluo Continent as early as three years ago?

The other side came prepared, but they were caught off guard.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the council hall became tense. Both Dai Youyuan and the Body Sect expert released their soul rings, their auras pressing down on the Sun and Moon Continent. Although Ying Ruoruo's expression was calm, the pressure she was releasing also subtly increased.

De Hongchen's face was full of helplessness, but he still quickly unleashed a starlight shield from his body, protecting Zhou Yuan, who was not a strong person.

Tang Qianqiu stood beside Qi Po Xiao, his gaze quickly locking onto De Hong Chen, a half-smile on his face. "This must be the Imperial Tutor of the Sun Moon Empire, right? Would you like to witness the strength of a Level 10 Soul Master? We've been looking for you in Mingdu for a long time without success, and we're really itching to show our skills."

"What?!" Zhou Yuan's expression finally changed completely. "You went to Mingdu?! What did you do?!"

No matter how much he calculated, he never expected that the experts on the Douluo Continent could be so efficient.

How long has it been?

“That’s right. If we didn’t go to Mingdu, how would we know that your Sun Moon Continent started secretly planting people in Douluo Continent two or three years ago to gather information about this place?” Tang Qianqiu said with a smile, but every word echoed in Zhou Yuan’s mind like the whisper of a devil. “As for what we two Limit Douluos did in Mingdu, guess?”

"Sigh." De Hongchen sighed softly, turned to look at Zhou Yuan beside him, his eyes filled with a hint of helplessness.

What a disaster! When he first discovered Douluo Continent, he only offered a warning and never thought of conquering this new continent. He never expected that Zhou Yuan and Xu Haolong would have such a plan. Because of his identity, he couldn't speak up to stop them.

Now, problems have finally arisen.

"I also want to experience the strength of a Limit Douluo expert." De Hongchen slowly straightened up. "In war, envoys are not killed. I believe the Douluo Continent wouldn't be so harsh, would it?"

"Hehe, of course not." Tang Qianqiu chuckled. "Please?"

"please."

The two left the council hall and soared into the sky, and soon intense fluctuations of soul power reverberated through the heavens.

Inside the council hall, Xu Changling, now seated again, looked at Zhou Yuan, whose expression had lost its composure, with a leisurely air. "Prime Minister Zhou, is the Sun Moon Continent determined to go to war with my Douluo Continent?"

Zhou Yuan coughed lightly, "Um... I think there might be some misunderstanding about this."

...

"What? The Sun Moon Continent knew about the situation on the Douluo Continent two or three years ago?"

That evening, as Yu Lianxin recounted the details of the meeting through the "Knot of Love," Qi Han was first taken aback, and then a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He knew nothing about what happened when Douluo Continent and Sun Moon Continent collided.

Therefore, he had no idea that the truth would be like this.

if…

The Sun Moon Continent knew about the situation on the Douluo Continent in advance, and had even begun secret preparations long ago…

So, when I opened a shop in Mingdu under the guise of Hanshi Festival, it was practically like dancing a disco right under their noses.

At the time, he was completely unaware that something was amiss.

Looking back now, there were actually many unreasonable situations at the time, but he attributed them all to differences in customs between the two continents.

For example, a large group of wealthy and noble customers appeared out of nowhere; Mingke Street, which was suddenly revitalized by imperial decree shortly after he opened his shop; Mingtingque, who suddenly came to his door during the food competition; and Qiankun Wenqing Valley, which he accidentally entered due to inexplicable obstacles when he was about to leave the Sun and Moon Continent.

Also, the method for making soul tools was given by the Imperial Tutor De Hongchen.

At this moment, Qi Han connected all the illogical points one by one. Although he could not yet see through the whole truth, he suddenly realized a problem.

I might be discovered the moment I enter Mingdu.

After realizing the problem, Qi Han couldn't help but feel incredibly lucky.

If the other party had forced their way into attacking him, he would have been no match for them at the time, and he might have ended up stuck on the Sun and Moon Continent, never to return.

But since the other party knew that his return to Douluo Continent might reveal the situation of Sun Moon Continent, why did they let him come back?

Qi Han frowned, his mind flashing back to the scenes that had occurred on the Sun and Moon Continent. Soon, his expression changed, and he had a vague guess in his heart.

Perhaps... it's not that the other party didn't take any action?

Although Qiankun Wenqing Valley is the foremost of the three treasure basins, it is indeed an extremely dangerous place. If one fails the test of Qiankun Wenqing, the punishment is extremely severe, and one may even lose their life. From this perspective, it is not unreasonable to regard it as a dangerous place.

Did the other party deliberately force me into this situation with this purpose in mind?

but…

For some reason, on the day he was about to leave, the image of De Hongchen asking himself if he had someone he liked suddenly appeared in his mind.

Is it...

Is it De Hongchen who is helping him?

Recalling De Hongchen's experiences dining at the restaurant, and the important soul tool he had been given, which De Hongchen even called a local specialty.

Soul tools, aren't they a specialty of the Sun and Moon Continent?

Thinking about all this, Qi Han became even more determined.

Speaking of which…

"Ruyi." He called out to Ruyi in his mind, "When the main quest to go to the Sun and Moon Continent was issued, I asked you why there was such a quest, and you said it was because there was an old man on the Sun and Moon Continent who longed to taste the delicious food of Hanshi."

“Yes,” Ruyi said with a grin, “Now do you know who it is?”

"Is it Senior De Hongchen?" Qi Han's eyes showed a hint of confusion.
