Chapter 93 Wrath
She didn't think twice, nor did she have time to verify the information; the rage in her heart had clouded her judgment.
She soared into the sky, a fiery dragon phantom unfolding behind her, hurtling towards the Star Luo Empire.
"Star Luo Empire! You just wait! Today, I, Liu Erlong, will raze your imperial city to the ground and avenge my resource depot!"
Her furious roar echoed like thunder through the night sky, and Liu Erlong's figure quickly disappeared into the horizon.
Meanwhile, the undercover agents in the mountains, witnessing this scene, all revealed smug smiles.
"The plan succeeded! Liu Erlong really fell for it!"
The leader of the undercover agents sneered, "Very good! Send a message back to Wuhun City, tell His Holiness the Pope to prepare, and wait for Liu Erlong and the Star Luo Empire to weaken each other!"
At the same time, the three Soul Douluo elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan also sensed something amiss.
They rushed to the resource depot and, seeing the burning ruins and the disguised students, instantly understood that this was a conspiracy.
"Not good! Erlong has been tricked!"
An elder's expression changed drastically. "This is clearly someone deliberately framing the Star Luo Empire to provoke Erlong! We must catch up with her as soon as possible and stop her!"
"It's too late! Erlong is too fast, and she's burning with rage right now; she won't listen to any advice!"
Another elder said urgently. "We must immediately report to the Grand Elder and have the family send a Soul Douluo elder to stop Erlong. At the same time, we must send someone to the Star Luo Empire to explain the situation and prevent the conflict from escalating!"
"That's the only way!"
The three elders exchanged glances, then turned and left, sending people to report to the family while chasing after Liu Erlong in the direction she had gone.
Meanwhile, Liu Erlong had already entered the territory of the Star Luo Empire. Her Fire Dragon Soul Power was released without reservation, causing mountains to tremble and vegetation to burn wherever she passed. The border guards of the Star Luo Empire instantly sensed this terrifying aura.
"Enemy attack! A powerful enemy has invaded!"
The border general's expression changed drastically, and he immediately ordered, "All troops on alert! Release signal flares to notify the imperial city!"
Signal flares shot into the sky, their blinding light illuminating the night.
Liu Erlong, seeing the defenders below, felt her rage intensify. She condensed her fire dragon soul power in her hand and slammed it down towards the defenders' camp.
"Boom—!"
A massive phantom of a fire dragon claw descended from the sky, instantly engulfing the camp in flames. Countless soldiers turned to ashes amidst screams.
Liu Erlong, like a raging fire dragon, wreaked havoc along the border of the Star Luo Empire, leaving devastation in her wake. In the Star Luo Empire's imperial city, Dai Tianfeng's face turned ashen upon receiving the urgent report from the border.
"Liu Erlong! She actually dared to lead an army to invade!"
The Imperial Guard Commander cried out urgently, "Your Majesty, Liu Erlong is extremely powerful; the border guards simply cannot withstand her! We must immediately send reinforcements, otherwise she will soon breach the border defenses!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Dai Tianfeng's eyes: "So, Liu Erlong! Does she really think that just because she received the favor of the ranking list, she can do whatever she wants!"
"Pass on my order: have Crown Prince Davis lead three Soul Douluo Elders to the border immediately to stop Liu Erlong!"
"Tell Davis that he must keep Liu Erlong at the border at all costs. If she breaks into the imperial city, he will answer to you with his head!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Imperial Guard Commander bowed and accepted the order, then turned and left.
Dai Tianfeng stared out the window, his eyes filled with malice: "Liu Erlong, since you dared to come, don't even think about leaving alive!"
Meanwhile, Liu Erlong had already broken through the border defenses and was speeding towards the Star Luo Empire's imperial city.
Her heart was consumed by vengeful rage, completely unaware that she was walking step by step into a trap laid by Wuhun City.
At the same time, within the Heaven Dou Empire's secret realm, soul power was so dense it was almost tangible, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of herbs and spiritual energy.
In the distance, majestic mountains stood tall, with clear streams flowing through them, their waters containing pure energy. Many rare medicinal herbs grew along the banks, radiating an alluring glow.
In the central area, a jade-green ginseng, tens of meters tall, stood there—the very same thousand-year-old jade ginseng, radiating a rich life energy that invigorated anyone who smelled it.
Xue Ke took a deep breath, sensing the dense soul power within the secret realm, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes.
She quickly walked to the thousand-year-old jade ginseng, sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and began circulating her soul power, absorbing the surrounding energy, and familiarizing herself with the power of the Jade Swan Martial Soul.
A phantom of a jade swan unfolded behind her, its wings gently flapping, continuously absorbing the surrounding soul power and life energy into its body.
Xue Ke could clearly feel her soul power becoming increasingly pure, and the jade swan's soul skills becoming more and more proficient.
Especially the third soul skill, "Jade Healing," under the nourishment of the thousand-year-old jade ginseng, had its healing and purification effects greatly enhanced.
Meanwhile, outside the secret realm, a conspiracy against Xue Ke was quietly brewing.
Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo of Wuhun City had infiltrated the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial city and, with the cooperation of their undercover agents, were approaching the royal secret realm.
Ghost Douluo's figure blended into the shadows, moving like a ghost through the streets and alleys of the imperial city, avoiding the patrolling royal guards.
Chrysanthemum Douluo, disguised as an ordinary merchant, carried an exquisite gift box, ostensibly strolling through the streets, but actually secretly observing the defensive layout of the royal secret realm.
"Shadow Clone!"
Ghost Douluo shouted, his body surging with shadows as dozens of clones split off, rushing towards the defensive barrier of the Royal Secret Realm and drawing the guards' attention.
"Not good! Enemy intrusion!"
The royal guards noticed the anomaly and immediately sounded the alarm, unleashing their soul power to rush towards the shadow clones.
Meanwhile, Ghost Douluo's main body took advantage of the chaos, dashing to the Royal Secret Realm's defensive barrier like lightning, gathering dense shadow energy in his hand, and slamming it into the barrier.
"Bang!"
A loud crash resounded, and the defensive barrier violently trembled, revealing a tiny crack.
"Chrysanthemum Douluo, attack!" Ghost Douluo shouted.
Chrysanthemum Douluo flashed, instantly appearing beside the barrier, unleashing the full power of his Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum Martial Soul, golden soul power surging into the crack like a tide.
"Crack!" The defensive barrier shattered, revealing a gap large enough for one person to pass through.
"Go!" Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo exchanged a glance, then flashed into the Royal Secret Realm.
Inside, Xue Ke was immersed in cultivation when she suddenly sensed a strong sense of danger.
She abruptly opened her eyes, and the emerald swan phantom behind her instantly unfolded, warily looking towards the entrance of the secret realm.
"Who is it?"
Xue Ke's voice carried a hint of vigilance, her soul power surging, ready for battle.
