Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, Blue Silver Grass, grants me the power to bring the dead back to

Chapter 456 Tang 3 is here?

These words caused silence to fall over the hall once again.

Qian Renxue's gaze fell on the last line of the secret report.

The flag—the sun and the moon overlap.

She suddenly remembered what Tang Chuan had once said: Tang San did not die after being rescued by Rakshasa God; he might appear in a place outside of Douluo Continent.

At the time, Qian Renxue didn't pay much attention to the phrase "outside of Douluo Continent." Because in the eyes of most Soul Masters on Douluo Continent, the center of the world was this continent. While there were Seagod Island and endless oceans overseas, there were almost no places that could truly be called civilized empires.

But now, an unfamiliar fleet has appeared off the west coast.

Advanced soul guide device.

Sun and Moon Flag.

An unknown empire.

All of this led Qian Renxue to a terrifying suspicion.

She slowly began to speak:

"Immediately send men to the west coast of Xingluo. Do not engage in battle rashly. First, ascertain the enemy's numbers, the power of their soul tools, the size of their fleet, and the defenses of their landing ports."

"At the same time, send a message to Tian Dou Douluo, informing Tang Chuan."

"This matter may be more serious than we imagine."

Upon hearing this, a Soul Master from the Angelic Surveillance Division immediately lowered his head.

"Yes."

Golden Crocodile Douluo said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, should we mobilize the border troops of the Martial Soul Empire?"

Qian Renxue waved her hand and said:

"Do not move the main force for now."

"If our army were to invade, the Star Luo Empire might not feel at ease."

"The most important thing now is to find out where the enemy came from."

She paused here, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

"Furthermore, order all Spirit Hall branches along the western coast to strengthen their defenses. If this army can cross the sea to launch a surprise attack on Star Luo, it is also possible for them to circle around to the coast of the Spirit Empire."

"In addition, all angelic holy light barriers have been activated ahead of schedule."

"Major cities have entered a state of combat readiness."

Everyone responded in unison.

Qian Renxue stood up and walked outside the main hall. The sun was still shining brightly above Wuhun City, but as she looked westward, her gaze became increasingly profound.

"An empire beyond the seas..."

"Tang Chuan, you should know something, right?"

…………

Tian Dou City.

In contrast to the oppressive atmosphere in Wuhun City, the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace was in a state of urgent chaos. When the urgent report from the Star Luo Empire reached Heaven Dou, it was already the seventh day after the fall of the West Coast.

After reading the secret report, Xue Beng turned pale on the spot.

He originally thought that after six months of recuperation, the mainland would finally be able to gradually stabilize.

Unexpectedly, before Tang San could even appear, the west coast was breached by an unfamiliar army. Moreover, this army did not use conventional soul master tactics, but rather advanced soul tools.

Long-range bombardment.

Flying Soul Guidance Armor.

Communication blocked.

The naval fleet landed.

Putting these words together left the courtiers of Tian Dou bewildered, completely at a loss for how to respond.

Ning Fengzhi sat on one side of the main hall, holding a secret report in his hand, his brows furrowed.

Dugu Bo stood inside the hall, his face grim.

Yang Wudi said coldly:

"Who cares where it came from?"

"If we dare to fight on the west coast of Xingluo, we'll dare to fight on Tiandou sooner or later."

"Your Majesty, I suggest that we immediately mobilize the military forces in the western border to prevent them from continuing their northward advance."

Avalanche looked at Ning Fengzhi and asked:

"Sect Leader Ning, what's your opinion?"

Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment and said:

"Deploying troops is necessary, but we can't rely solely on conventional forces."

"According to the intelligence report, the enemy's greatest strength lies in their long-range attacks using soul-guided devices. If ordinary troops were to rush in, they would likely be routed by the soul-guided cannons before they even see the enemy."

Dugu Bo snorted coldly and said:

"I'd like to see what kind of soul tool can stop a Title Douluo."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head.

"Poison Douluo, if it were just a one-on-one fight, you naturally wouldn't be afraid. But since the enemy was able to conquer several cities in five days, it means that their strength isn't just in a single soul tool, but in a whole war system."

"Fleet, artillery, flying soul masters, messengers, landing engineers."

"This may be completely different from the Soul Master wars we have in the past."

Avalanche felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this, and he couldn't help but say:

"So what should we do now?"

Just then, a calm voice came from outside the main hall.

"Don't rush to mobilize a large army."

Everyone turned around at the same time and saw Tang Chuan walking slowly into the hall. He was dressed in a clean blue outfit and had a calm expression. He was accompanied by Xiao Ruier, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

After becoming a god, Tang Chuan no longer possessed the oppressive aura of his past.

It's more like a calm sea.

The calmer the scene, the more unpredictable it seemed.

Avalanche immediately stood up, bowed, and said:

"Lord Karakawa."

Ning Fengzhi also looked at him.

"You've arrived."

Tang Chuan nodded and accepted the secret report handed to him by Ning Fengzhi.

In fact, he already knew the general idea before he even stepped into the palace.

Starry West Coast.

Sun and Moon Flag.

Advanced soul guide device.

Ocean-going fleet.

This information, taken together, was enough for him to confirm the enemy's origins.

After reading the secret report, Tang Chuan's eyes darkened slightly.

Seeing the change in his expression, Ning Rongrong asked in a low voice:

"Do you know who they are?"

Tang Chuan was silent for a moment, then said:

"I roughly know."

Everyone in the hall was immediately startled.

Avalanche quickly asked:

"Lord Tang Chuan, what is the origin of this enemy army?"

Tang Chuan did not answer immediately, but walked to the center of the main hall.

He looked at everyone and said slowly:

"If I'm not mistaken, they come from outside Douluo Continent."

"To be precise, it is a continent on the other side of the ocean."

The officials were in uproar, their faces filled with disbelief.

"The other side of the ocean?"

Dugu Bo frowned and said:

"Beyond the Douluo Continent, is there another civilized empire?"

Tang Chuan nodded and said seriously:

"have."

"On that continent, the development of soul tools far surpasses that of the Douluo Continent. They do not rely entirely on the individual combat power of soul masters, but rather combine soul tools with warfare."

"Ordinary Soul Masters can fly, attack from a distance, and defend with the help of Soul Guidance Armor. High-level Soul Masters can bombard city walls from several miles away or even further using fixed-mount Soul Guidance Cannons."

"Large soul-guided cannons can also be mounted on the fleet."

"So it's not surprising that the Xingluo West Coast garrison couldn't hold them off."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall changed their expressions.

Ning Fengzhi said in a deep voice:

"What is the name of this country?"

Tang Chuan slowly uttered four words:

"Empire of the Sun and Moon."

Avalanche murmured, repeating himself.

"Sun and Moon Empire..."

"So that's what the flag with the sun and moon overlapping looks like."

Yang Wudi couldn't help but say:

"But why did they have to appear at this particular time?"

"Douluo Continent is separated from them by the sea, so why did they suddenly launch a sneak attack on Xingluo?"

A cold glint flashed in Tang Chuan's eyes as he said:

"That's the key."

He looked up at the western horizon outside the palace.

"The Sun Moon Empire wouldn't know the exact location of Douluo Continent without a reason."

"It's even less likely that they would suddenly send a soul-guided fleet to land exactly six months after Tang San disappeared."

"There must be someone pulling the strings behind this."

The hall fell silent instantly.

Ning Fengzhi said slowly:

"You mean... Tang San?"

Tang Chuan nodded.

"I can't think of anyone else but him."

Dugu Yan's expression changed.

"Wasn't Tang San rescued by Rakshasa God?"

"Could he have been teleported to the Sun and Moon Continent?"

Tang Chuan said:

"Very likely."

"When Rakshasa God forcibly broke through the boundary to save him that day, the spatial teleportation might not have been stable. It wouldn't be surprising if he hadn't returned to Douluo Continent, but instead been sent to the Sun and Moon Continent on the other side of the sea."

Xiao Ruier gripped the Golden Dragon Spear tightly, a flash of killing intent in her eyes.

"So these Soul Masters from the Sun Moon Empire were brought by Tang San?"

Tang Chuan nodded slightly and said:

"At least I can't escape my connection with him."

"Tang San Tai understands the Douluo Continent. He knows the geographical layout of Star Luo, Heaven Dou, and the Spirit Empire, and he also knows that the western coast of the continent is poorly defended. If he has the support of the Sun Moon Empire, it makes perfect sense for him to use their soul guidance fleet to launch a surprise attack on the western coast of Star Luo."

Ning Fengzhi frowned even more deeply.

"If Tang San is indeed behind it all, then this Sun Moon Expeditionary Force is probably just the vanguard; they won't be satisfied with just a few ports."

Tang Chuan said:

"That's right. The fact that they've occupied ports, built fortifications, and blockaded the coast shows they're waiting for the follow-up fleet. The advance force isn't going deep because they know there are god-level powerhouses on the Douluo Continent."

"They are afraid of me, and they are also afraid of Qian Renxue, so they need to establish a firm foothold first."

Avalanche's expression grew increasingly grim.

"So what should we do now?"

"Should we just ask you to take action and wipe them all out?"

Upon hearing this, many people in the hall showed anticipation in their eyes.

After all, Tang Chuan had already become a god.

In their view, as long as Tang Chuan made a move, a mere foreign fleet should be no threat.

But Tang Chuan shook his head.

"It can't be that simple."

The avalanche paused in surprise.

Why?

Tang Chuan explained:

"First, we still don't know exactly how many fleets the Sun Moon Empire has sent."

"Secondly, I don't know if Tang San is nearby."

"Third, if I directly destroy the vanguard, Tang San might use this war to collect souls and create a massive undead army."

"We're in the open now, while Tang San is in the shadows."

"If we act rashly, we will only alert the enemy and benefit them instead."

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts sank.

Ning Fengzhi nodded and said:

"Tang Chuan is right."

"This Sun Moon Expeditionary Force is certainly dangerous, but the one who is truly in danger is Tang San."

"If Tang San uses this war to collect souls and create an army of the undead, that would be a real threat."

Tang Chuan's eyes turned slightly cold.

"So we need to do two things."

"First, stop the Sun and Moon Expeditionary Force from further expanding its occupied territories."

"Second, find out Tang San's location."

"If we can use the Sun Moon Empire as a lead to lure Tang San out and deal with him at the same time, that would be best."

Dugu Bo sneered and said:

"Then I will go and take a look at the west coast of the Star Luo Empire."

Tang Chuan shook his head and comforted him:

"Old Poison Mist, while your poison is suitable for dealing with Soul Master legions, it's not advisable to rashly enter a Soul Guidance Cannon array. Given the current development of Soul Guidance Devices in the Sun Moon Empire, there are likely Soul Guidance Devices that can detect the aura of Soul Masters. If a Title Douluo ventures in alone, he is likely to be targeted by multiple Soul Guidance Cannons."

Dugu Bo frowned, but did not refute.

Although he was arrogant, he was not a fool.

We haven't seen how powerful these soul tools really are yet, so we certainly can't underestimate them.

Tang Chuan looked at Ning Fengzhi, "A Dou:"

"Uncle Ning, please activate the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's intelligence network immediately. I need maps, roads, ports, granaries, and military camp locations for all the fallen cities on the western coast of Xingluo."

"Furthermore, after finding out where those enemy prisoners of war Star Luo Soul Masters are being held, determine their whereabouts."

Ning Fengzhi nodded.

"I'll arrange it immediately."

Tang Chuan then looked at the avalanche.

"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Dou Army should not launch a large-scale military operation for the time being."

"First, mobilize elite Soul Master squads to support the outer perimeter of Star Luo."

"Prioritize protecting refugee evacuation routes; do not rush to counterattack the ports."

Avalanche immediately said:

"it is good."

Tang Chuan continued:

"Simultaneously send a message to the Star Luo Empire."

"Make them abandon the coastal towns and not concentrate their forces near the ports for a head-on battle."

"The Sun Moon Empire's advantage lies in its naval artillery and maritime supply. If Star Luo tries to outlast them along the coast, they will only be overrun by their soul-guided cannons, city after city."

"Let Xingluo shrink its defensive lines and pull the battlefield into the inland hills and mountains."

"Once they are out of range of the naval guns, the Sun and Moon Expeditionary Force's advantage will be greatly reduced."

Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up, and he said:

"good."

"They have come from afar and have not yet established a firm foothold; their supplies depend entirely on the naval fleet."

"If we can cut off the connection between the port and the inland advance forces, we can tie them down."

Tang Chuan nodded.

"Also, inform Qian Renxue that this is not a matter concerning only Xingluo Kingdom."

"Now that the Sun and Moon Empire has arrived, its target cannot be limited to Star Luo."

"The Heaven Dou, Star Luo, and Martial Soul Empire must temporarily unite."

When Xue Beng heard the word "union," his expression became slightly complicated. In the past, the alliance of Tian Dou, Xing Luo, and Wu Hun Empire would have been a joke.

But now, Tang San is still alive, and the Sun Moon Empire is attacking.

This became the only option.

Xiao Ruier spoke:

"Are you planning to go to the West Coast yourself?"

Tang Chuan looked at her and nodded slightly.

"Um."

Xiao Ruier immediately said:

"I'll go with you."

Ning Rongrong also said:

"I'll go too."

Dugu Yan raised an eyebrow.

"How could I be left out of something like this?"

Ye Lingling said softly:

"I can take charge of treating the wounded during the evacuation."

Tang Chuan looked at them, remained silent for a moment, and ultimately did not refuse.

"it is good."

"But this is no ordinary battle."

"The Sun Moon Empire's soul tool system is completely different; you must follow my instructions."

Xiao Ruier gripped the Golden Dragon Spear and nodded.

"Know."

Ning Rongrong said:

"Just don't try to rush in alone again."

Tang Chuan smiled.

"Not this time."

Although he has become a god, this time the enemy is not just the vanguard, but the Sun Moon Empire, the war soul tool, and the scheme set up by Tang San behind the scenes, so he must be cautious.

Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside the hall.

A Soul Master from the Overwatch Council strode in and knelt on one knee.

"Lord Karakawa!"

"A message has arrived from the Spirit Empire."

"Her Majesty Qianrenxue said that she has received an urgent report from Xingluo."

"The western coast of the Martial Soul Empire has entered a state of war preparedness, and she will personally head to the western coast of Star Luo."

"And I'll ask you to reply immediately."

She asked—

The Soul Master paused, then lowered his voice.

"Was Tang San behind this?"

The hall fell silent once more.

All eyes were on Tang Chuan.

Tang Chuan slowly raised his head, his gaze passing through the palace gate and looking westward.

There, is the sea.

It was also the direction from which the Sun and Moon Expeditionary Force landed.

This is also the place where Tang San might extend his evil claws again.

After a long silence, Tang Chuan spoke:

"Reply to Qian Renxue and tell her."

"This war is most likely orchestrated by Tang San behind the scenes."

"Tell her not to venture alone into enemy territory."

"The Sun and Moon Empire is merely a weapon; the one who truly wields it has yet to reveal himself."

The Soul Master immediately lowered his head.

"yes!"

Tang Chuan gripped the Trident of Poseidon, and a faint blue-gold light shone in his palm.

Six months of peace have finally come to an end.

This time, Tang San is not just returning with the undead army.

He also brought with him a complete Soul Guidance Empire.

Tang Chuan's eyes turned completely cold.

"Tang San".

"You really haven't given up."

"This time, no matter what, we can't let you escape again." (End of Chapter)
