Chapter 234 Rush to Rescue
Listening to Jin Peng's words, Wang Nan's brows were already furrowed.
It is true that an Extreme Douluo cannot be stopped by an ordinary soul master, not to mention that Death Douluo Ye Xishui is also a ninth-level soul master. In addition to her most famous Death Tower, she must have other soul guides in her hands. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is an army of one person.
Long Aotian's face was not looking good either. The Sun-Moon Empire was hard to resist, but those hidden sects were reluctant to come out. It was already quite difficult for them to defend Tianling City. Now when they heard the news from the Star Luo Empire, they were powerless to come to the rescue.
"Elder Jin, I came here this time to say goodbye to your clan."
Just when everyone was silent, Wang Nan suddenly spoke.
"To be honest, you have seen the situation in Tianling City. Although we successfully attacked the Sun Moon Empire's military camp a few days ago and temporarily relieved our pressure, the sect master's old injury relapsed and he is currently in seclusion to heal his wounds..."
Jin Peng stood up and said, "I wonder if you can stay in the city and help us. All the rewards can be discussed."
"Elder Jin has misunderstood. It's not that I don't want to, but I'm also from the Xingluo Empire. After hearing the news that Mingdou Mountain Range and Tianming City had fallen, I really can't stay here for long."
"So that's how it is. If that's the case, I can't keep you here." Jin Peng's expression was gloomy, and he sighed softly, "I don't want to say anything more. I just hope we can meet again in the future."
Wang Nanduo glanced at Jin Peng twice. Although this sounded unlucky, the Tianhun Empire was in a disadvantageous situation at this time, and Jin Peng was probably talking more about himself.
"Farewell."
"Humph, I think those sects are nowhere near as good as Brother Wang. Do they have any regard for their country?"
"Young Sect Master, be careful with your words." Jin Peng knew who Long Aotian was talking about. He looked away after Wang Nan's figure disappeared into the sky. "If Tianling City is lost, I hope that Young Sect Master can lead the remaining disciples of the sect to hide in a remote place and leave some incense for our Benti Sect."
"Elder Jin, what do you mean?"
"This is also what the Sect Master meant..." Jin Peng said, waving his hand again, "Forget it, I will explain these things to you after the Sect Master comes out of seclusion."
Long Aotian looked at Jin Peng and sighed heavily, but ultimately did not continue asking.
……
In Yuming City, Duke Dai Hao of White Tiger slowly opened his eyes, but he felt uncomfortable in his chest and couldn't help coughing a few times.
"Father." Dai Yuheng, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward immediately.
"It's okay." Dai Hao waved his hands. Although he said it was okay, his face was pale and his lips were chapped. As a Titled Douluo, he looked so tired, which showed that his internal injuries were more serious.
"Father, would you like to ask His Majesty the Medical Immortal to take another look at you?"
"No need." Dai Hao hurriedly stopped him. "My injuries can be healed by resting. By the way, how are the other Title Douluo in the city?"
"Except for His Majesty Xing Luo, the rest of you will need to rest for a few days to recover from your injuries."
"Alas, I'm afraid the Sun-Moon Empire won't give us this opportunity." Dai Hao sighed.
As a Titled Douluo, he understood the gap between ordinary Titled Douluo and Ultimate Douluo more clearly. Death Douluo alone was enough to deal with several Super Douluos, not to mention that there were other Level 9 Soul Instructors and Soul Instructor Groups on the Sun-Moon Empire side.
Now that all the Titled Douluo on the Star Luo Empire's side have sustained injuries of varying degrees, the Sun-Moon Empire will certainly take this opportunity to attack.
"Marshal, there is someone outside who wants to see you."
Just when Dai Hao was looking worried, the voice of a messenger suddenly came from outside the door.
At the same time, outside Yuming City, the Sun Moon Empire's army was gradually approaching. Below Yuming City, on a vast plain, the Sun Moon Empire's army had already assembled, and several soul guide groups were ready to go.
The sound of soul-guided cannons could be heard from the top of the city walls, but at the same time, several rays of light gathered together in the army to form a huge light shield that enveloped the entire team. The soul-guided cannons on the top of Yuming City did not cause any damage.
The linked soul guides are a technology unique to the Sun-Moon Empire. With this ability, they can allow several soul guides to attack or defend in a linked manner, maximizing the effectiveness of the army.
The Sun-Moon Empire did not counterattack immediately, but simply gathered its troops and gradually approached. There was no need for the power of soul guides. Just the sound of the soldiers' footsteps was enough to be heard far away. The low and orderly sound was like thunder and a war song.
However, the defenders on Yuming City were not new recruits on the battlefield. Even in the face of such momentum, they remained calm. Orders were continuously passed down, people gathered on the top of the city, and the sound of soul guide cannons was heard from time to time.
As time passed, the first to launch an attack was not the approaching Sun-Moon Empire troops, but a beam of light shooting from behind the army.
Even though it was daytime, the light was still so dazzling that people dared not look directly at it.
A white shield lit up over Yuming City, but it shattered in an instant under the light, and the white light rushed straight to the top of the city.
At this moment, the entire ground began to shake, and an ochre-colored light rose from the ground and gathered towards the top of Yuming City.
The white light fell, but was blocked by a pair of huge horns and slowly dissipated in the ochre-yellow light.
Feeling this powerful aura, Long Xiaoyao, who was meditating at the back of the military camp, suddenly opened his eyes.
"The people from Shrek Academy are here."
"Shrek..." Ye Xishui's voice came out slowly, "It's the academy of that old guy..."
Ye Xishui's tone was full of nostalgia.
Long Xiaoyao turned his head and glanced at her. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but since a few days ago, Ye Xishui seemed to have mentioned their past events frequently.
"Sir!" When Ye Xishui was still reminiscing about the old days, the voice of a messenger came from outside the tent.
"what's up?"
"Yuming City has been under siege for a long time and the empire has suffered heavy losses. The captain would like to ask you..."
Before the messenger could finish his words, a cold aura had already spread out from Ye Xishui. Long Xiaoyao raised his hand but did not stop it.
"I attacked twice, and you couldn't even capture Yuming City?"
The messenger outside the tent had already fallen to his knees, trembling with fear. He could not even utter a complete sentence.
“Forget it. Even though I promised that old guy not to attack Shrek Academy, since they came to me, I don’t owe him anything.”
In the blink of an eye, Ye Xishui disappeared into the tent, and Long Xiaoyao, who was standing beside him, followed him.
Only when the two men disappeared and their presence could no longer be sensed here did the messenger outside the tent slowly stand up.
The momentum just now made his body still tremble, and he finally recovered.
He looked up at the sky, then quickly lowered his head, quietly hiding the resentment in his eyes.
