Chapter 438: War Breaks Out
After Bibi Dong issued the order to go to war, outside the most revered Douluo Hall of Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu silently looked up at the sun in the sky while listening to the report from Gold Crocodile Douluo beside him.
"Bibi Dong wants to start a war?"
After hearing Gold Crocodile Douluo's report, Qian Daoliu frowned and said, "Nonsense. The foundation of Spirit Hall cannot be destroyed in her hands like this."
In Qian Daoliu's view, Bibi Dong was completely acting recklessly.
Why the rush?
As long as a Deity appeared in Spirit Hall, everything would be settled. The current battle against the two great empires was meaningless.
However, Bibi Dong was determined to go her own way. In this situation, to prevent Spirit Hall from suffering excessive losses, Qian Daoliu could not ignore the matter.
After thinking briefly, Qian Daoliu immediately said, "Qian Renxue has already begun the sixth trial of the god of angels. She needs to endure my attacks for the duration of an incense stick, with a time limit of one year."
"The Deity Legacy has reached its most critical juncture. I cannot leave at this time, so this time, Gold Crocodile, you will lead them to support Bibi Dong."
The "them" in Qian Daoliu's words naturally referred to the other Consecrated Elders of Spirit Hall.
"Remember, this war should focus on stability. It doesn't matter if we don't win, as long as we ensure we don't lose. The longer the war drags on, the more advantageous it will be for us. Once Qian Renxue successfully inherits the God Position of the god of angels, she will naturally be able to sweep across the continent."
Gold Crocodile Douluo nodded in understanding, then hesitated for a moment before asking, "Should we bring Thousand Jun Douluo to support the front line this time?"
Speaking of which, it had been Gold Crocodile Douluo who specifically asked Thousand Jun Douluo to help with the previous operation to capture Yu Tianlin alive. However, not only had they failed to capture Yu Tianlin, but Thousand Jun Douluo had also lost both his arms, greatly reducing his strength.
Gold Crocodile Douluo still felt somewhat guilty about this.
"Thousand Jun?"
Hearing Gold Crocodile Douluo mention Thousand Jun Douluo, Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment before replying, "If he wants to go, let him go. If he doesn't, then so be it."
Because Thousand Jun Douluo had self detonated two Spirit Bones, he had not only lost both arms, but his cultivation had also dropped to the Spirit Saint level. Although he had recovered well during this period, restoring his Spirit Power to level seventy nine was already his limit.
In this situation, even if Thousand Jun Douluo's past realm had been profound, he could now only barely exert the strength of an ordinary Titled Douluo. Strictly speaking, his combat power might even be inferior to Dugu Bo back when he had been plagued by his own toxins, placing him at the absolute bottom among Titled Douluo.
With Thousand Jun Douluo's current strength, he actually would not play a significant role on a large battlefield, so Qian Daoliu simply let him decide for himself.
Gold Crocodile Douluo was not surprised by Qian Daoliu's words.
However, just then, Qian Daoliu gave him one last instruction.
"If there's an opportunity, you and Bibi Dong should team up and try to retrieve the last piece of angel god armor from Yu Yuanzhen."
"If there really is no opportunity, don't force it. After Qian Renxue passes her trial, I will go with her to find Yu Yuanzhen and reclaim the angel god armor."
As Qian Renxue's Nine Angel Trials progressed, the retrieval of the last piece of angel god armor had also been put on the agenda.
Gold Crocodile Douluo expressed his understanding, then went to gather the other Consecrated Elders.
One day later.
Facing the aggressive army of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Spirit Empire was not to be outdone. Under Bibi Dong's command, they did not retreat to Jialing Pass to rely on its natural defenses. Instead, they also mobilized a large army and confronted the Heaven Dou Empire on the plains, with a major battle on the verge of erupting.
Looking at the endless encampment of the Heaven Dou Empire, Hu Liena, who had been conferred the title of Holy Maiden of the Spirit Empire, could not help showing a hint of worry in her eyes. She whispered to Bibi Dong beside her, "Teacher, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan have also come with the Heaven Dou Empire's army this time. With their participation, we might be at a disadvantage in terms of top level combat power."
Although the Spirit Empire had a powerhouse like Bibi Dong overseeing it, apart from Bibi Dong, the cultivation of the other Titled Douluo were all below level ninety five.
The combined Titled Douluo of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan were quite numerous, and among them, Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin were both incredibly powerful.
In Hu Liena's opinion, her teacher could at most hold off Yu Yuanzhen. Then what should they do about Chen Xin?
Who could stop Chen Xin?
It was because of this that Hu Liena's eyes held lingering worry.
"Don't worry."
Although Hu Liena was worried, Bibi Dong smiled.
"Even you know that Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin are not to be trifled with. Qian Daoliu naturally knows this as well. Although I don't get along with him, he will never sit idly by and watch Spirit Hall's strength diminish. He will definitely send Consecrated Elders over."
Despite her dislike for Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong understood him well.
"The Consecrated Elders will come?"
When Hu Liena heard Bibi Dong say this, her heart immediately settled.
If the Consecrated Elders intervened, the Spirit Empire's strength at the top level would greatly increase, perhaps even surpassing that of the Heaven Dou Empire.
"Later, during the battle, I will deal with Yu Yuanzhen, and the army will be under your command."
Looking at Hu Liena beside her, Bibi Dong said, "Don't disappoint me."
"Don't worry, Teacher."
After gaining confidence from knowing that the Consecrated Elders would come to support them, Hu Liena spoke with full assurance.
"I will bring victory to Teacher."
Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction. She was about to say something more to Hu Liena, but when she saw movement from the Heaven Dou Empire's side, she immediately ordered, "Form ranks, and attack!"
The war drums roared, shaking the heavens.
In this atmosphere, the armies of both sides poured out of their encampments at the same time, each forming their battle formations.
Interestingly, both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Empire, by unspoken agreement, arranged their Spirit Master legions in the very center.
It seemed that both sides intended to make the Spirit Master legions the core of this war.
"The ordinary armies of Spirit Hall, formed by the combined forces of the former kingdoms and duchies, are indeed inferior to those of the Heaven Dou Empire. However, their Spirit Master legions are quite good. They look formidable."
At the forefront of his Spirit Master legion, Yu Tianlin observed the Spirit Empire's military appearance for a while and commented.
Although Spirit Hall had now become the Spirit Empire, Yu Tianlin was still accustomed to calling it Spirit Hall.
For this war, Yu Tianlin's goal was very clear.
He wanted to severely cripple the Spirit Empire.
After all, Yu Tianlin could not stay here indefinitely fighting the Spirit Empire. He still needed to acquire his ninth Spirit Ring.
In this situation, he could only quickly inflict heavy losses on Spirit Hall and make them only dare to cower. That way, Yu Tianlin would have time to leave the army and pursue his own matters.
