1368 The Federal Flee

"It's true. Moreover, the commoners saw it too. I believe that you'll get news of it soon. I just want you to know about the event. Besides, she's a recovery-type Limit Douluo and such a case is unprecedented. She's also the only such person in the Douluo Federation! Thus, we need to reevaluate our chances with the Tang Sect carefully."

There was no need for En Ci to elaborate on the significance of a recovery-type Limit Douluo. Dai Tianling knew its importance too. A recovery-type Limit Douluo was capable of bringing the dead back to life. She could certainly save a person's life!

The Tang Sect and Shrek Academy were as close as siblings. How could he disregard the consequence of having such a powerhouse who is on their side?

Dai Tianling took a deep breath and spoke with a bitter smile, "Teacher, do you think I'm too conceited? I wasn't supposed to solve this matter in such a cavalier manner."

If he had given it more thought and agreed to the Tang Sect's requests, perhaps many of the events would not have occurred at all. The royal house was forced to concede now.

"Your Majesty, this is not the time for regrets. We should think about how we can best manage the consequences," said En Ci to Dai Tianling.

"Teacher, do you have any suggestions?" asked Dai Tianling.

En Ci answered, "I have some ideas. Since the outcome is such, why don't…"

With the entire empire being affected by the outcome of the Battle of Five Gods, a group of people had gathered in a dark, underground cavern.

It was so dim that even a person with extremely good eyesight could only make out the blurry silhouettes.

Each person was dressed in a big, black cloak which covered the entire body.

"Blood Demon, how's the situation? What's the result of the Demon Empress's blood test?" A majestic voice echoed throughout the cavern.

Another slightly hoarse voice was heard. "It looks pretty good. The medicine is effective. If its usage is continued, we should be able to control the situation. If the Demon Empress recovers, it won't be much of an issue even if the Atlas Douluo is resurrected."

"Regarding the matter of returning the Atlas Douluo's soul to the Tang Sect, how are you managing it? Can the Atlas Douluo's soul be handled properly?" asked the majestic voice again.

"Rest assured, King Emperor. I've already taken care of the matter. I may not rival Yun Ming when he was alive, but he's only a soul now. He's at my mercy, just like a fish on a chopping block."

"Hmm. The Almighty Space-time Shuttle is very important. Everything must be carried out accordingly for the safe return of the divine weapon. Alright, please continue to administer the medicine to the Demon Empress. I hope it won't be a problem."

"King Emperor, the Spirit Pagoda has been a little suspicious of us. They've suspended a few of our collaborations." A pleasant female voice was heard.

"The Spirit Pagoda is having a tough time these days. It's not that easy for them to get rid of us. Tell Qiangu Dongfeng to make preparations in the Star Luo Empire. Our time to reap the rewards has arrived."

"Yes." The female voice continued speaking, "King Emperor, the newly-appointed Sect Master Tang Wulin has won four consecutive battles in the Star Luo Empire's Battle of Five Gods. We've watched the battle recordings too. If Tang Wulin is truly just over the age of twenty, his natural endowments are very impressive. We can't have him around. Coincidentally, Zhang Geyang has made such a request. Should we seize the opportunity to take him out? Otherwise, he may possibly be the next Yun Ming in the future, if he is allowed to develop further."

"Hmm, make the necessary arrangements then. Kill him in one strike. Don't give him a chance to counterattack. I thought the Underworld Monarch is there. Please request the Underworld Monarch to head the operation personally. The Tang Sect, humph!"

…

Enormous warships were moving at sea. These ships appeared to be scattered throughout the vast sea akin to the stars in the skies. At times, they looked like the chess pieces on a chessboard.

Amongst the large fleet, the most conspicuous were the three colossal warships.

At the vanguard of the three colossal warships was the largest warship in terms of volume. The size of the warship's hull was akin to a city. There were at least over a hundred advanced soul aircraft parked on the expansive deck of the hull.

The warship was so vast in length and breath that it appeared to be like a gigantic monster.

All kinds of warships surrounded the three colossal motherships. The total number of warships exceeded three hundred.

One could clearly see the giant cannons' surfaces shimmering with a metallic gloss on all the warships. Apparently, these warships were ready to launch the cannons at any moment.

In the captain's cabin of the DS Sea God mothership.

The Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie sat on the main seat and asked his lieutenant, "How long before we reach the Star Luo Empire's maritime space?"

"At our current speed, we can be there in ten days at the most. All the anti-radar systems are already initiated. With the Star Luo Empire's detection capability, our presence won't be detected for at least another seven days."

"Good." Chen Xinjie answered calmly. He stood up and walked to the cabin window and looked outside.

It was a vast sea. With regard to the Boundless Sea Douluo, the sea was his closest companion.

He could not postpone the war any longer in the end. The Hawk Faction was overly powerful in the military. As one of the leaders in the Hawk Faction, he could not possibly override the opinions of others under such circumstances.

'Yue Yue, can you blame me for this? We've no choice but to wage this war. For the development of the continent, the technology of the Federation, and the future of mankind, we need to consolidate our resources. Don't worry, I'll try to reduce the fatalities to the best of my abilities. If the despicable scoundrels from the Holy Spirit Cult make a move to kill, I'll squash them to death.'

Out of the eighteen War Gods from the War God Hall, there were a total of ten War Gods who had followed him on this expedition. There were numerous powerhouses from each of the great army corps. He, being a Limit Douluo, was there to assume personal command. He did not bother with the Dou Spirit Empire at all because the main opponent was the Star Luo Empire. Once the Star Luo Empire was defeated with a crushing blow and control established, the Dou Spirit would surrender too.

'Yue Yue, if only you give me a chance, I'll give this up. I'm willing to give up the entire world for you.'

'Sadly, you didn't give me a chance at all!'

'Ten days. Ten days later, the Star Luo Empire will face the full force attack of the Federal Fleet!'

…

The sun seemed to shine brighter after a good night's sleep.

He had won four out of five battles, saved a Limit Douluo's life, and impelled the appearance of a new Limit Douluo. He had also seized the spirit soul of the Spirit Pagoda's deputy Pagoda Master. The disadvantageous situation initially was turning into an advantageous one. What else could make Tang Wulin happier?

Following his return yesterday, the Smiley Face Douluo had told him that even if he lost the final battle, the Star Luo Empire would be willing to accept the Tang Sect's terms of a lower buying price.

In reality, Tang Wulin's mission for this trip had already been completed.

Today would be the first time in his life that he would fight against a Limit Douluo on a battlefield.

No matter how powerful his earlier opponents were, none of them could compare to a Limit Douluo. Moreover, this Limit Douluo was a four-word battle armor master.

The final battle in the Battle of Five Gods, the battle armor battle.

He questioned his heart. 'Tang Wulin, are you ready?'

'Yes, I'm ready!'

The God's Blessing from yesterday had already fused with him completely after a night of meditation. The feeling of having mastered his skills which he felt earlier was even more intense now.

Tang Wulin had absolutely no idea of his fighting capacity as it was continuously sublimating.

Sometimes, it was worrying when the progress was too quick. Due to the effect of the God's Blessing, his Body Sect's Innate Secret Technique was approaching the realm of full completion.

The Innate Secret Technique was not able to make a person invincible, but it could make the path to invincibility a lot smoother.

Tang Wulin would not completely be at a disadvantage when he faced En Ci. At least, Tang Wulin's bloodline had a suppression effect on the Holy Dragon Douluo.

He opened the window and breathed in the fresh air. After he was done washing up, Tang Wulin joined his comrades at breakfast.

"Yuxue, prepare for our return trip. We can't stay here anymore. I wonder how the situation at the Federation is now. After the end of the Battle of Five Gods, we'll hand matters over to the Star Luo Empire. We'll stay for three more days at most before returning to the Federation."

The Tang Sect had waged war against the Spirit Pagoda so the organization must be facing immense stress in the Federation. He would like to return sooner so he could face the crisis together with the Amorous Douluo.

Besides, his identity was already exposed. His godmother was officially a Limit Douluo. He should begin making a public appeal for Shrek Academy too. He would need to find out from Elder Long and his godmother the number of powerhouses capable of supporting Shrek during the public appeal.

At the same time, he needed to find large amounts of life force for the Life Seed as soon as possible. Shrek City could only be rebuilt when the Life Seed had purified the entire Sea God Lake.
