178 Xu Zilong's Goal
The powerful strength of the soul masters in Douluo Continent once made Xu Zilong, who thought that Xu Mingxi and others were the top soul masters in this continent, unable to accept it.
The gap in strength between the two sides' soul masters was too great, and the few ninth-level soul guides hastily produced by the Sun-Moon Empire were simply not enough to make up for it.
Reason told Xu Zilong that he should now order the fleet to turn around and return to the Sun-Moon Empire, but the desire for the inheritance of the gods in his heart would never allow him to take a single step back.
Before setting out, he had searched almost the entire Sun and Moon Continent, but found no news about any other gods except the Sun and Moon Gods.
Now Xu Zilong places all his hopes on Xu Mingxi. As long as he can seize the divine inheritance from him, he can become an immortal god.
At this critical moment, he would not allow himself to retreat, nor would he allow others to retreat. Even if he died, he would die on the path to becoming a god.
"Your Majesty, there is a sailing ship ahead. Judging from its size, its captain should be at least at the Soul Emperor level."
"Okay, chase them immediately and capture them all alive."
Xu Zilong looked at the small black spots on the sea in the distance, excitement in his eyes.
He needs to know more information about Douluo Continent. As a Soul Emperor, he should know a lot.
On the ship in the distance, Captain Langlangsha saw that even though he ordered a U-turn immediately, the fleet was still catching up quickly. His face turned black as he saw the fleet getting closer and closer.
He chose this time to go out to sea in order to avoid the struggles among major forces. Who would have thought that he would actually encounter a fleet that looked very powerful.
"Boys, stop the boat. We can't get away. Remember not to resist and tell us everything you know. Whether you can live a life of luxury in the future depends on this."
"yes."
Langlangsha stood at the bow resignedly, waiting for the Sun-Moon Empire fleet to approach, while raising his hands to indicate that he had surrendered.
Then he was taken onto the boat by the silver-armored soldiers of the Sun-Moon Empire and was forced to kneel in front of Xu Zilong, but he could not muster any desire to resist.
"Your Majesty, the person has been brought here. He is the captain of the ship on the other side. He is a pirate and has the cultivation level of a Soul Emperor."
Xu Zilong glanced at Langlangsha with disdain, but he had a deeper understanding of the strength of Douluo Continent in his heart.
Being a pirate with the cultivation of a Soul Emperor? It's really extravagant. With such cultivation, he can be the lord of some small city on the Sun Moon Continent. Why would he do a job like pirates that costs his life to make money?
"Take him away and make sure to dig out everything in his mouth for me."
"yes."
Langlangsha, who was confused by the soldiers' address to His Majesty Xu Zilong, was grabbed by the soldiers and taken to the torture room in the cabin before he could figure out the situation.
"No, Your Majesty, please spare me. I can tell you anything. I know everything."
"Put him down."
Xu Zilong looked down at the shark that was lying on the ground like mud, and a feeling of disdain surged in his heart.
"If you don't want to die, then tell me everything you know, especially about a family that can use starlight."
Feeling the murderous aura emanating from the man in the purple dragon robe, Langlangsha knew that he was probably not from Douluo Continent, but he still chose to tell everything he knew. He was just a normal pirate, and staying alive was his top priority. He didn't care what impact these things would have on Douluo Continent and the spirit masters there.
"Your Majesty, there is only one family on the Douluo Continent that uses starlight, and that is the Xingguan Sect of the Xingluo Empire. They..."
After Langlangsha finished speaking and repeatedly assured that nothing was missed, his life came to an end.
Xu Zilong just waved his hand lightly, and with a splash, another soul appeared in the sea, a soul full of resentment.
The Soul Emperor can be regarded as the backbone of Douluo Continent, and Langlang Shark knows a lot.
Except for the fact that he went to sea early and didn't know that Xu Mingxi was about to ascend the throne of the emperor of the Xingluo Empire, everything else that was in the open was revealed by him.
Xu Zilong ordered the fleet to change direction and land on Douluo Continent from the other side of the ocean, avoiding Poseidon Island, a force that had cooperated with the Xingguan Sect.
He walked to the bow, looking at the deep ocean ahead, with endless ambition burning in his heart. His target was the Wuhun Empire, which had just ended the war with the Xingguan Sect.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and only with the help of the Spirit Empire can he fight against the Star Crown Sect which has many Titled Douluo.
Xu Zilong knew that with his strength, he would never be able to fight against the Spirit Hall that he was about to encounter. In order to prevent his soul guide from being taken away, he issued an order.
Everyone in the fleet must put away their soul guides and fight as soul masters until they find an opportunity to take down the Xingguan Sect in one fell swoop.
The soul guide is their most powerful means and their last trump card, and it must not be known to the people of Douluo Continent.
The fleet sailed on the silent sea, and no one spoke until one day later, when the army of the Sun-Moon Empire quietly landed on the east coast of the Wuhun Empire.
They put away their navigation soul guides, took off their armor and soul guides, changed into coarse linen clothes, and temporarily camped on the coast.
Xu Zilong, carrying the title Xu He of the Sun lineage, and Xu Yin, a newly trained elder of the Silver Moon lineage, sneaked into the Wuhun Empire and disappeared.
Xu Mingxi was completely unaware of all this. At this time, he was in the Xingluo Palace, trying on the imperial costumes prepared for him by the Xingguan Sect, and entertaining guests from many powerful forces.
Tomorrow is the coronation ceremony. All matters have been prepared. Dai Feng will also announce at the ceremony that he will abdicate the throne to Xu Mingxi.
Wen Tingyu, who was sitting in the corner, looked at Xu Mingxi, who was standing side by side with the Xingluo Emperor and accepting compliments from the other titled His Majesties, and felt infinite emotion in her heart.
She was at home taking care of her young son, but she did not expect to suddenly receive an invitation from the Star Luo Emperor to ascend the throne. Even if her strength had reached that of a Soul Saint, she should not have received the invitation.
Only after she arrived did she realize that the Star Douluo was Xu Mingxi, who had participated in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition with her.
She never expected that her once genius brother would grow to this level so quickly, a level that she would never be able to reach in her entire life.
Thinking of Zhou Lingling, who followed her husband because she was unwilling to give up the Tiandou Empire; thinking of Ye Zhiqiu, who was unwilling to leave Canghui Academy and perished with it; thinking of Xiong Lie and Yun Ni, who had no news for a long time.
Wen Tingyu knew that after decades, everything had changed. She only hoped that under Xu Mingxi's leadership, the people of the Xingluo Empire could live in peace and prosperity.
