Is a large army deployment too conspicuous?
If thousands or even tens of thousands of Soul Masters all wore this item and completely concealed their aura, they would be thousands of silent shadows!
How did the Star Luo Empire's spies discover this?
How do the Spirit Hall's spies detect this?
They could easily bypass all the passes and avoid all the armies, crossing thousands of miles of territory unnoticed under the cover of night!
This is a ghost army!
A ghost army that can come and go as it pleases, and can appear in the heart of the enemy's territory at any time to deliver a fatal blow!
This would be a nightmare for any country!
No wonder...
No wonder he had the confidence to make the bold statement that he would destroy Xingluo in seven days!
Xue Qinghe stared at Tang Qing's profile, his shock reaching an unparalleled level.
This man always manages to surprise you with something even more unexpected just when you think you've figured him out.
Tang Qing put away the "Shadowless" badge and gave the order to Lou Gao.
"Full production."
"I need ten thousand pieces by tomorrow morning."
"Ten thousand pieces?!"
Upon hearing this, Lou Gao's chubby face broke out in a cold sweat.
"Your Majesty...this...this time is too tight! Even if all the craftsmen were to work day and night, it still wouldn't be enough..."
"Let them do it."
Tang Qing interrupted him, her tone calm but carrying an undeniable force.
"You've forgotten whose people they are."
Lou Gao paused, startled.
Tang Qing said calmly, "My Blue Silver Domain is a domain of life. The souls of everyone who works here are connected to my Blue Silver Grass."
"Tell them that they don't need to worry about their physical limits. Even if they die from exhaustion, I can make them stand up again perfectly fine in the next second."
"Make them...work all day."
"A generous reward will be given afterwards."
boom!
A thunderclap seemed to explode in Xue Qinghe's mind. She looked at Tang Qing and felt a chill rise from her spine, instantly spreading throughout her body.
resurrection?
He can even control death?
This isn't the work of a Soul Master; this is clearly... the kind of skill only a god possesses!
Lou Gao trembled, and then the fanaticism in his eyes intensified as he bent over heavily.
"Yes! I understand!"
"I will obey Your Majesty's command!"
...
at the same time.
Starry Sky Forest, outside the core area.
As night fell, the forest was utterly silent, save for the crackling of a campfire that dispelled the surrounding darkness and chill.
Tang Hao sat by the fire with a cold expression, poking at the flames with a twig, his eyes gloomy.
Beside him stood Tang San, who looked dejected.
Although Tang San is now out of danger, his right leg, which was severed at the root, remains a source of eternal pain in his heart.
The empty trouser legs seemed to be silently mocking his incompetence and humiliation.
On the other side of the fire sat cross-legged an old man with white hair and beard, but a resolute face like that of a middle-aged man. He was none other than Tang Chen, the pillar of the Haotian Sect and a level 99 peerless Douluo.
Their mission to venture deep into the Star Dou realm was to find a suitable soul bone for Tang San to compensate for his missing leg.
"There's news from the Star Luo Empire."
Tang Chen slowly opened his eyes, breaking the silence.
"That Star Prince named Davis, I don't know how he offended the Blue Silver King."
"Now, the Blue Silver King has declared that he will send troops to attack the Star Luo Empire."
"What?!"
Tang Hao suddenly raised his head, and a terrifying killing intent instantly erupted in his gloomy eyes, making the surrounding air seem to freeze.
"This is our chance!"
He stood up excitedly, his clenched fists cracking.
"This is our chance to tear him to pieces!"
"good!"
Tang San also suddenly raised his head, a sickly flush rising on his pale face, his eyes filled with deep-seated hatred.
"Kill him! Avenge me! Avenge my mother!"
Tang Chen looked at the excited father and son and slowly nodded.
"good."
Tang Hao's heart was bleeding.
Every time he saw Tang San's severed leg, every time he thought of Ah Yin who had been taken away, his heart felt as if it were being pierced by thousands of steel needles.
"This time, the Blue Silver King will surely die!"
He said through gritted teeth.
"Not only did he steal my Ah Yin, but he even dared to break my mistress's leg! I'll grind him to dust!"
Despite their overwhelming hatred, the three were not particularly anxious.
After all, in their view, a war of annihilation was no small matter.
The two great empires have been locked in a standoff for a century. The Star Luo Empire has a profound foundation and is full of powerful figures. How could it be destroyed so easily?
This war could last anywhere from a few months to several years, giving them ample time to make their plans and find an opportunity to strike decisively.
However, Tang Chen's next words poured cold water on their enthusiasm.
"We must not be careless."
Tang Chen's expression turned serious.
"When I was gathering information in the Star Luo Empire, I heard many stories about the Blue Silver King."
"This man is a master strategist, skilled in rapid marches, and his aggression is as fierce as fire and as swift as the wind."
The last conflict with Xingluo was a swift and decisive victory, forcing Xingluo to cede territory and sue for peace.
A hint of surprise, which even he himself did not notice, flashed in Tang Chen's eyes.
He never imagined that such a remarkable person would appear in this world.
"I'm afraid he'll break through Xingluo too quickly, so quickly that we won't have time to react."
"At that time, if he uses the vast resources of the Star Luo Empire to break through his strength again, he will be even more difficult to deal with."
Tang Chen slowly revealed an even more alarming guess.
"Moreover, I discovered... that Blue Silver King seems to be able to become stronger by consuming resources."
Tang Chen's words echoed around the campfire, and a heavy atmosphere filled the air.
However, Tang Hao didn't take it to heart, and even a contemptuous smile appeared on his lips.
"Become stronger by absorbing resources?"
He chuckled and threw the branch in his hand into the fire, sending sparks flying.
"Father, you're overthinking it."
"How massive is a war of annihilation? The Star Luo Empire has stood for a thousand years, producing many powerful figures and possessing profound strength. How could it be destroyed so easily?"
Tang Hao's voice was filled with arrogance as the head of the three upper sects.
"No matter how fast he deploys his troops, how fast can he go?"
"Could it be that he can destroy Star Luo in just one month? Isn't that pure nonsense?"
"As for improving strength..."
Tang Hao looked at Tang San, his eyes carrying a hint of instruction.
"Little San, you must remember that the cultivation of a Soul Master becomes increasingly difficult as you progress. That Blue Silver King is already at level ninety-eight, just one step away from his peak."
"This step is an insurmountable chasm! Countless brilliant talents have spent their entire lives unable to cross it."
"He wants to break through to level 99 in just one or two months? That's wishful thinking!"
Tang San listened to his father's words and nodded in deep agreement, his hatred burning even more fiercely.
He raised his head and looked at Tang Chen, his eyes shining with absolute admiration for his great-grandfather.
"Father is right."
"Moreover, Great-grandfather, you are already a demigod. Even if the Blue Silver King were to break through to level ninety-nine by chance, he would still be no match for you!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Chen did not show any relief; instead, he sighed softly.
He gazed at the flickering flames, his eyes distant, as if piercing through endless time and space.
"That may be true, but this boy... should not be underestimated."
"A level 98 Title Douluo at the age of twenty..."
Tang Chen's tone carried a hint of emotion and admiration.
"Such talent is unheard of and unseen."
"You're not even as good as a mistress."
Upon hearing this, Tang San's expression froze instantly.
