Soul Land 2: Body Sect

Chapter 297: Winds Rising and Clouds Gathering

For some reason, the moment Zhang Lexuan saw Du Qianjue, she completely let her guard down. After a long time of exhausting her mental strength, she finally fainted.

Looking at the dirty Zhang Lexuan in his arms, Du Qianjue's face wrinkled in disgust.

With a wave of his hand, he opened a "Gate of the Dead" and threw her inside without saying a word.

"Eve, take care of her and get her some new clothes!"

Before Eve could respond, the Gate of the Dead closed with a loud snap, leaving her staring at the shut door, unsure of what to say.

There were certainly supplies in the demi-plane of the dead, including food and clothes, so Du Qianjue didn't worry about Eve's feelings. Naturally, he had no idea how speechless Eve felt about him at that moment.

He really wasn't in the mood to deal with Zhang Lexuan right now. Aside from a bit of curiosity about how she ended up like this, his mind was mostly occupied with the upcoming wedding.

Even though the exact date wasn't set, he could still head to Xingluo City and bring Wang Xian'er back to the sect!

When it came to messing with Du Busi's mindset, Du Qianjue was more than eager.

Heh heh heh heh...

Casting aside all his worries, Du Qianjue began humming a cheerful tune as he leisurely flew toward the Star Luo Empire.

At the same time...

The news that Du Qianjue had 'become a god' and was soon to marry Snow Empress, ruler of the Extreme North, exploded across the entire Douluo Continent like a thirteenth-level Soul Guidance Cannonball.

The combination of him becoming a god and the union of one of humanity's strongest with a top-tier soul beast was nothing short of earth-shattering.

The first to receive the news was, of course, the members of the Ontology Sect.

Already fired up by the news of their young sect master's ascension to godhood, the Ontology Sect disciples were even more ecstatic when they heard about his upcoming marriage to Snow Empress.

They rushed out of the sect, spreading the news far and wide while calling for those members who had gone to war to return to the sect for the celebration.

Those who had left the sect walked around with their heads held high wherever they went.

The Ontology Sect now had not only Du Busi and Jinpeng, two Ultimate Douluos, but also Du Qianjue, who had become a god. Soon, they would also have the renowned Snow Empress as part of their sect.

With such strength, even if Shrek Academy were to rise from the ashes, the Ontology Sect could still easily overpower them!

How could they not be proud?

They all shared a strong sense that after this wedding, the Ontology Sect would fully take Shrek's place as the most revered holy land for soul masters on the continent!

The second to receive the news was naturally Heaven Dou City, the closest city to the Ontology Sect.

The Heaven Soul Emperor trembled with excitement as he read the letter from Vina.

Du Qianjue, the Ontology Sect's young sect master, had become a god! And he would soon marry Snow Empress!

Tears of joy welled up in the Heaven Soul Emperor's eyes. Despite Du Busi forgetting to inform Du Qianjue of the recent developments on the continent, the Sun Moon Empire's aggression toward the three major empires had not ceased.

No!

In fact, they had grown even more vicious!

Believing that Xu Tianran had been assassinated and was no longer a threat, the Sun Moon Empire's royal family had gone mad.

Xu Tianran had already slaughtered almost the entire royal family, and all the princes eligible for succession had long been sent to the afterlife. The former emperor of the Sun Moon Empire had also passed away shortly after Xu Tianran's disappearance.

There were no remaining royal heirs, aside from a few princesses, who were qualified to take the throne!

If it hadn't been for Kong Deming decisively stepping forward as regent, the Sun Moon Empire would have torn itself apart. His solution was simple: turn the empire's focus outward, toward the three major empires.

By shifting the internal conflicts outward, they could stabilize the Sun Moon Empire while fighting.

This strategy spelled disaster for the Heaven Soul and Star Luo Empires.

Despite the high-level Soul Guidance tools Du Qianjue had sold to them, the advanced Sun Moon soul master legions continued to crush them on the front lines.

Though they managed to prevent any assassination attempts from the Sun Moon Empire's elite forces thanks to their new weapons, the Heaven Soul Empire had still lost seven or eight cities, and the Star Luo Empire had lost five. Over half of their territory had fallen to the Sun Moon Empire.

What the Heaven Soul Emperor didn't know was that the Sun Moon Empire's Royal Dragon Soul Master Legion had secretly set out, not to attack the Heaven Soul or Star Luo Empires, but to wipe out the war-torn Dou Ling Empire.

Before long, the name Dou Ling Empire would be nothing more than history on the Douluo Continent.

Du Qianjue's breakthrough gave the Heaven Soul Emperor a powerful boost of confidence. He immediately wrote back to Vina, urging her to ask Du Qianjue for help—no matter the cost, even if she had to offer herself in exchange!

After filling an entire page with his pleas, the emperor sealed the letter and assigned a titled Douluo to deliver it personally to Vina.

In his eyes, gods were invincible. No matter how strong the Sun Moon Empire was, they were no match for Du Qianjue, who had ascended to godhood.

With Du Qianjue's help, the Sun Moon Empire's assault would be snuffed out like a candle in the wind!

The Heaven Soul Emperor had no idea, however, that his hopes were misplaced.

Indeed, if Du Qianjue wanted to intervene, even the most powerful Soul Master Corps or Soul Guidance arrays would be mere child's play to him. As a Tier 3 peak god, his power was unmatched on the Douluo Continent, capable of wiping out even the most advanced soul tools with ease.

But why would Du Qianjue bother?

After his wedding, Du Qianjue planned to focus on preparing for his next step toward godhood, merging the Chaos attribute with the positions of Life and Destruction God Kings to become a Creator God once more.

That would take immense time and effort. He still hadn't completed his divine trial, let alone obtained the third soul core or the soul rings for his second martial soul.

Why would he waste time cleaning up the three empires' messes?

Do they even deserve it?

As Du Qianjue leisurely made his way to Xingluo City, oblivious to all the drama swirling around him, he finally arrived at Wang Xian'er's doorstep. (End of Chapter)
