Dai Yueyan clenched his fists tightly, and said coldly, "To purchase soul weapons from other empires now, isn't that akin to saying that our Xingluo Empire can no longer resist the Holy Spirit Cult?"
The ministers exchanged glances but still spoke, "Your Majesty, forgive my bluntness, but the Holy Spirit Cult is already a force that no single power or empire can contend with. Only by the alliance of the three great empires and all first-tier forces is there a chance to eliminate it!"
"Exactly, although we achieved victory in the first battle, it's evident that the Holy Spirit Cult intentionally gave us this illusion. If they truly attack, I'm afraid our army will be at their mercy!"
"Your Majesty, while the Holy Spirit Cult is still in the shadows gathering strength and has not made a direct move, we should prepare fully!"
If possible, who would willingly seek help from other empires?
Dai Yueyan's gaze turned to other ministers who remained silent, and he saw that they also lowered their heads...
Clearly, they thought the same!
The former fell silent, unsure of what to say for a moment...
Meanwhile, a woman with a graceful figure and delicate features entered the hall...
It was Dai Yun'er!
Upon seeing who it was, Dai Yueyan frowned slightly, "Yun'er, why are you here? Go back quickly!"
Dai Yun'er spoke calmly, "Your Majesty, I've come to say one thing; our Xingluo Empire has no choice!"
Currently, Dai Yueyan is already the emperor of the Xingluo Empire, so it's only natural to address him as "Your Majesty" under these circumstances!
Dai Yueyan admonished again, "Yun'er, don't cause trouble. I am discussing important matters with the ministers!"
Dai Yun'er smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, I'm not causing trouble. If possible, I wish to discuss with other empires the purchase of soul weapons myself!"
Though a princess, she has never been able to do anything for the Xingluo Empire!
As soon as she finished speaking, Dai Yueyan immediately rejected her, "No, I absolutely disagree!"
Dai Yun'er is his only family left, and if she goes to other empires, not to mention whether she can buy soul weapons!
If attacked by the Holy Spirit Cult's evil Soul Masters, he would regret it all his life!
And it would also betray his father's dying words!
The ministers' eyes rolled, "Your Majesty, I also believe that letting Princess Yun'er go to purchase soul weapons is the best choice!"
"Indeed, it both represents our Xingluo Empire's sincerity and shows all Soul Masters on the Continent the determination to eliminate the Holy Spirit Cult!"
"I second that, since Her Royal Highness the Princess proposed this suggestion, she must have confidence in persuading other empires, and we should trust her!"
As long as it's not them going, anyone else can go!
After all, the royal household is now targeted by the Holy Spirit Cult, and without the protection of the two Ultimate Douluos, even life safety is uncertain!
Dai Yueyan's eyes gradually filled with murderous intent, "All of you, shut up for me!"
These guys, each more afraid of death than the other, and at such a moment, they dare to entrust such a dangerous task to his sister!
Dream on!!
Even if all the ministers present were dead, he would never let Dai Yun'er take such a great risk to go to other empires!
With this thought in mind, he cast a sidelong glance at the soldiers stationed outside and said coldly, "Someone, take Her Royal Highness the Princess away! Without my order, don't let her out!"
The heavily stationed soldiers outside the hall turned solemn at the words and walked up to Dai Yun'er, "Your Highness, please come with us!"
Dai Yun'er bit her lip and said again, "Brother..."
She knew that Dai Yueyan wanted to protect her, but if she didn't do anything for the Xingluo Empire, could she still be worthy of being called Her Royal Highness?
Dai Yueyan ignored her and ordered again, "Take Her Royal Highness the Princess away!"
The next moment, the warriors forcibly took Dai Yun'er out of the hall...
Only then did the former take a deep breath and said in a cold voice, "Honorable ministers, as the backbone of the empire, it is time for you to make some contribution!"
"I order you to go together to the Douluo Empire to purchase soul weapons. If you disobey, you will be treated as traitors!"
Instantly, the ministers' faces turned ashen...
...
A nearby male Mecha Master, seeing this, opened the thruster without hesitation, forcibly crashing towards Ling Wuyue's Mecha, pushing it back over ten meters...
However, he didn't have time to escape himself and was engulfed by the Black Dragon and Bone Palm...
The Mecha's defense was futile and was instantly torn apart, turning to ashes in the blink of an eye...
The reacting Ling Wuyue's eyes were swollen and red, and she cried out painfully, "No!!!"
The former sacrificed himself to save her!
Floating in mid-air, two guest elders witnessed this scene and their expressions became extremely unpleasant...
"Damn it, using his life to protect that woman? Truly foolish!"
"Humph, it's a meaningless sacrifice. If we can kill her once, we can kill her again!!"
This remark completely enraged Ling Wuyue, and she shouted angrily, "I'll fight you!!"
In the next second, she used the thruster to fly into the air, clutching her boomerangs, and slashed at them...
Seeing the attack coming, one of the guest elders wore a disdainful expression, "Fourth Soul Skill, Bone Shield!"
The fourth soul ring beneath his feet instantly lit up...
Before their eyes, behind the two guest elders, a large, white skeletal figure formed out of thin air that encompassed them within...
After the boomerang struck it, it was deflected without causing any damage...
However, the now irrational Ling Wuyue ignored all of this and continued attacking relentlessly...
Shouting angrily, "Die!! You all die for me!!"
The Ghost Emperor looked on coldly, displeased, "Two useless fools, can't even handle a Mecha Master"
Then, the Ghost Emperor waved his hand towards Ling Wuyue's Mecha...
In an instant, a massive hand appeared out of nowhere in the void, precisely grabbing the latter and smashing it to the ground. The Mecha, unable to withstand the attack, exploded on impact...
The pupils of the two guest elders constricted, and they exclaimed with lingering fear, "Worthy of being the Sect Hierarch, such formidable strength!"
"Without releasing a Martial Soul or Soul Skill, his Soul Power can be solidified to attack! Such strength must be that of a True God!"
The fear in their hearts towards the Ghost Emperor grew even stronger...
Meanwhile, witnessing the fall of their captain, the Mecha Masters could no longer suppress their anger...
"Captain! Damn evil Soul Masters, you all must die!!"
"Everyone, charge! Even if it costs us our lives, we must avenge the captain!"
"Attack! Slaughter these beasts!!!"
The Mechas they piloted seemed to go berserk, taking hits themselves while relentlessly slaughtering the evil Soul Masters on the ground...
Unbeknownst to them, not far from the exploding Mecha, Ling Wuyue lay weakly on the ground, covered in blood...
Her gaze swept across her Battle Armor, "Cough cough... If not for this Battle Armor, I probably would've been dead!"
