Chapter 658: Incident in Star Lake (Chapter

A figure walked out of a mysterious door in the Liulicheng Palace.

"Your Majesty..." Suddenly, the palace guards guarding the area knelt down on one knee facing the figure and saluted respectfully.

Lu Yuan waved his hand, "No courtesy."

Yes, this is Lu Yuan who returned from Poseidon Island.

After he completed the second test ahead of schedule, he was unable to help Ning Rongrong and others in the next test.

Therefore, Lu Yuan had no choice but to return to the Sky Shadow Empire early with Bo Saixi's permission.

Although the current rules and regulations of the Tianying Empire have put the entire empire on the right track, even if Lu Yuan is not needed, the entire empire will not be in any big trouble.

But the empire belongs to Lu Yuan after all. He can't just be a hands-off boss, he still has to govern the country.

Especially since he has the memory of his previous life, he can learn from some of the methods of governing the country in his previous life to lead the entire empire to become stronger.

Lu Yuan then went directly back to the palace. He first said hello to his parents, and then went to meet Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

This is all done by first explaining the current situation to those close to him and why he has come back but Ning Rongrong and the others have not.

Finally, he summoned the ministers and nobles to inquire about the political affairs of the empire's provinces, as well as the situation outside the empire.

In the next ten days, Lu Yuan lived such a life of diligent governance and long sleep. He even ignored the matters of cultivation. He relied on the soul master's meditation and only slept three or four hours a day.

Such a schedule would make even Brother Zheng and Zhu Baba cry in their previous lives.

This is the advantage of a highly skilled soul master as the emperor of a country. Lu Yuan, a titled Douluo-level emperor, can not only personally lead troops in battle, but can also be immersed in political affairs every day without worrying about rest time. Too little and damages the body.

They won't have to worry about being assassinated at any time - after all, the emperor Lu Yuan is the most difficult target in their assassination process.

Under Lu Yuan's diligent administration, the Tianying Empire promoted several reforms, and the administrative efficiency of the empire was once again improved.

However, in the past ten days or so, he also discovered something that made Lu Yuan helpless.

For example, he patrolled the royal hunting ground of the Sky Shadow Army - the original Royal Knights were merged into the Sky Shadow Army, and the current Sky Shadow Army is the emperor's personal army.

And when Lu Yuan took this opportunity to hunt with the general and soldiers to enhance their relationship...

Several beautiful women appeared in the hunting ground, intending to get close to him and seduce him.

Lu Yuan was very helpless at the time. These women had extremely good looks, second only to Ning Rongrong and Yan Zhuyin, and they had elegant temperaments. It was obvious at a glance that they were of high origin.

They happened to show up when Lu Yuan came to patrol the royal hunting grounds today. Although their acting skills were good, they pretended to be innocent girls who accidentally broke in, making them look very pitiful.

But Lu Yuan is not that easy to deceive, he has no feelings for these women, and he has not held a wedding ceremony with Ning Rongrong yet. The most important negative contact and emotional trust will naturally be left to Ning Rongrong. The most important girl in his life.

Moreover, he is not a person who covets beauty, and he does not want to tarnish the relationship between him and Ning Rongrong because of his desire for beauty.

Therefore, Lu Yuan was very smart and did not do anything to these women. Of course, he also did not punish these women severely.

He just sent someone to settle them down, and then ordered someone to investigate their background. Sure enough, they found out that they were the daughters or granddaughters of several small and medium-sized nobles in Liuli City.

Their purpose was self-evident. Lu Yuan was not polite this time and wanted to find out whether they had failed in their duties.

Generally, people who like to take advantage of opportunities will have a sense of luck and use it to take advantage of opportunities.

Sure enough, after an investigation, some clues were found. Only one noble family was always conscientious and did not go beyond the limits. The others were abusing their power and seeking their own benefits.

Lu Yuan punished them directly in accordance with the laws of the empire.

After that, Ning Fengzhi and the Qibao Glazed Sect also found out about this, and they immediately felt more relieved.

As for the other minor nobles who originally wanted to take advantage of the situation, they no longer dare to have any small thoughts at this moment.

In this way, it seems that the empire is gradually getting on the right track.

However……

Accidents happen unexpectedly.

…

Above the main hall.

"...Is there any movement in the Star Dou Forest again?" Lu Yuan looked at Ji Luobu below, frowned, and asked.

Ji Luobu clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, yes, our army's spies inspected the Star Dou Forest the day before yesterday and found that there were no more soul beasts in the outer areas, but they did not attack our soldiers."

"So my subordinates can't guess what happened inside the Star Dou Forest!"

Currently, although the Tianying Empire has no internal problems, the most is that several kingdoms and principalities of the former Tiandou Empire have rebelled and defected to the Wuhun Palace.

But foreign aggression is not an enemy outside the empire. Needless to say, the Star Luo Empire just broke out into a war not long ago.

Although Wuhun Palace has not officially declared war with Tianying Empire, everyone knows that Wuhun Palace and Tianying Empire will not deal with it.

But Wuhun Palace is not two major empires after all. Although they have many soul masters and titled Douluo, they have no army.

In the eyes of the world, Wuhun Palace can only send out an army of soul masters for a sneak attack like a battle to annihilate two major sects. As for the head-on confrontation with the Tianying Empire's army.

That is impossible.

Even Ning Fengzhi and others thought so.

However, only Lu Yuan knew that soon the Wuhun Palace would gather the joint forces of the kingdoms and principalities of the two empires, declare the establishment of the Wuhun Empire, and then declare war on the two empires!

At that time, there will be a three-legged confrontation. As we all know, in the case of a three-legged confrontation, either one party is too strong, and the other two weaker parties unite to compete with it.

Either everyone is checking and balancing each other, and they are all enemies at the same time.

In addition to the two enemies of Wuhun Palace and Xingluo Empire, Tianying Empire has another enemy.

That was the Star Dou Forest Spirit Beast that repeatedly launched waves of beasts to attack the former Tiandou Empire’s Tiandou City.

Maybe Lu Yuan can still reconcile his conflicts with the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire, but there is absolutely no room for reconciliation with the spirit beasts of the Star Dou Forest!

After all, he killed Xiao Wu, and it was absolutely impossible for the two "Kings of the Star Forest" who claimed to be Xiao Wu's protectors to live in peace with him.

However, the current strength of the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape will definitely not be Lu Yuan's opponent.

He is not afraid of these two so-called "Kings of the Star Forest". Now that he and Laast have joined forces, it is hard to predict whether Di Tian will come out now.

However, Lu Yuan is not afraid of the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, but he must also be wary of the spirit beasts in the Star Dou Forest. If they riot again, they can put down the beast tide.

But if they act a step too late and fail to protect the people of the empire in time, it will also cause casualties.

This is what Lu Yuan is worried about. Even if there is a casualty of one life, they are his people and the ones he wants to protect.

Just because the casualties are not large, we cannot ignore these lives with peace of mind.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan took a deep breath, "In this case...it's time to end things with them! It just so happens that my Hell Blade doesn't have a soul ring yet!"

How can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed?

He can no longer tolerate such scourges as the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. These two time bombs will remain with the Sky Shadow Empire at any time!

"Your Majesty, are you going to send a large army into the Star Dou Forest to hunt the soul beasts?" Ji Luobu asked.

"No, a large army is not conducive to jungle combat, and it doesn't need to be like this. I just need Ning Shoufu and Bone Douluo to enter the Star Dou Forest with me." Lu Yuan said directly.

Ning Fengzhi's increase can make Lu Yuan and Laast more powerful in combat, while Bone Douluo can protect Ning Fengzhi.

Lu Yuan was full of confidence, but without Raast, with his current terrifying power, neither the Azure Bull Python nor the Titan Giant Ape would be his opponent!

"Next, the empire will be overseen by the six members of your cabinet. Everything will be conservative. Any major decisions will be made after Ning Shofu and I come back!" Lu Yuan simply ordered.

Then he went to invite Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo to enter the Star Dou Forest with him, preparing to hunt the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.

Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo naturally accepted it happily, while Qibao Glazed Sect and Glazed City were guarded by Sword Douluo and Poison Douluo, so there shouldn't be any big problems.

…

The Star Dou Forest at this time.

The core soul beast area, Star Lake.

The azure bull python and titan ape still stay here, and the tall trees are so dense that even sunlight cannot penetrate, so that in this large forest, even during the day, it feels like a deep moonlit night. .

"If we do this... can we really awaken that legendary existence?" The Titan Ape took a deep breath, with a bit of uneasiness in his tone.

The huge bull eyes of the azure bull python flashed humanely. It was obvious that even he was not sure, but he still said, "Yes... we will wake him up."

Not far away from them, there were countless soul beasts gathered, including giant ants with strong bodies, dark-colored demon dragons with slender bodies, and giant bears that seemed to be indestructible...

They gathered here, seemingly preparing for something.

And on the other side of the Star Dou Forest.

The giant lion with three golden heads looked at the Star Lake not far away and sighed.

Not far from his feet, a small lion with a delicate appearance, whose body was like crystal, was looking at him curiously.

Three-eyed Jin Yang didn't understand why he sighed suddenly.

"Da Ming, Er Ming, you guys, why are you so stubborn?" said the Red King, "The situation is stronger than humans. Today's humans are not something we soul beasts can resist."

He actually doesn't like humans, after all, humans have hunted his tribe.

Powerful soul beasts like the three-headed red devil dog are often coveted by humans outside for their soul rings.

His own tribe was hunted by humans, and the Red King definitely had no good impression of humans.

But there is no way. Human beings are now stronger than spirit beasts. In a head-to-head encounter, spirit beasts are no match for humans.

It can even be said that as long as the soul masters of Douluo Continent unite, even if they gather all the hundred thousand year soul beasts currently on Douluo Continent, the soul beast side will be defeated.

The main reason is that on the soul beast side, there is no existence comparable to the Peerless Douluo among humans.

Human beings have the Spirit Hall. In a sense, the Spirit Hall is indeed the light of mankind.

The ruling elders of each generation are all peerless Douluo, which makes the spirit beasts unable to fight back even if they want to.

You know, the lifespan of Ultimate Douluo and even Demigod is only three hundred years. In Douluo One, Ultimate Douluo is called Peerless Douluo.

The lifespan of a soul beast is countless. Even if it reaches the realm of 100,000 years, it will take a thousand years to go through the heavenly tribulation, which is equivalent to the combined lifespan of three peerless Douluo.

In the past countless years, many hundred thousand year soul beasts have wanted to take action against humans. If it weren't for the ruling elders of Wuhun Palace, and the war between the human gods and dragons and soul beasts in the God Realm, they would be greatly suppressed. The power of soul beasts.

Human beings have long become the slaves of soul beasts.

Now among the soul beasts, there is only one backbone missing.

At least, it must be the kind of extremely powerful soul beast that can compete with the ninety-ninth level peerless Douluo!

And such a soul beast must be a soul beast that has been cultivated for at least 700,000 years, that is, a soul beast that has experienced at least six heavenly tribulations, and the seventh heavenly tribulation has not yet come.

However, it is not that easy to improve the cultivation level of a soul beast. Although the environment and one's own talent can make up for some of the time gap, in general, it still takes time.

So for the current Red King and other hundred thousand year soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest, the best way is... Gou!

In the original plot, they were all like this, paying no attention to anything and trying to hide their traces.

Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong successively led people to Xinghu to murder Xiao Wu's mother, and even later tried to seize the soul rings and bones of Xiao Wu, Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, but they didn't care.

At this time, if you expose your traces at will, you will find yourself beaten.

If it wasn't for the Azure Bull Python's absolute strength that forced them to come out, they probably wouldn't have come out before.

Like Zi Ji, it's obvious that she has no intention of going against humans.

The Red King actually understands the thoughts of the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. After all, Xiao Wu's mother and Xiao Wu are the soul beasts they are closest to. Xiao Wu's mother first became a hundred thousand year soul beast. She was the one who first lived in In the Star Lake.

At that time, she took great care of the azure bull python and titan ape who were still in their infancy, and Da Ming and Er Ming grew up together with Xiao Wu.

Such deep feelings caused them great pain after Xiao Wu died at the hands of humans.

We can understand their emotions, but it is not very wise to understand.

"Great Ming and Second Ming, if only you would listen to my advice. With this little guy here, our soul beasts will soon usher in the real great world!" The Red King looked at the three-eyed golden beast in front of him, and felt in his heart said.
