Chapter 609: Xiao Wu, Why Don't You Place a Strand of Your Divine Sense on Xiao Qi?
Even for Elder Song, a Rank 97 Super Douluo with incredibly sharp vision, merely observing from high altitude wasn't enough to determine exactly how many of the soul engineer legions and soul cannon positions in the Mingdou Mountains were real.
In reality, apart from a few genuine soul engineer legions that fired soul cannon rounds skyward to create the illusion of intense firepower, the majority of the soul engineer legions and soul cannon fortifications were completely fake.
After all, the Sun Moon Empire's true main force was already en route to Tiandou City, prioritizing the swift destruction of the Heavenly Soul Empire over engaging Star Luo head-on.
The Sun Moon army stationed in the Mingdou Mountains, along with Grandmaster Kong, had one primary objective to divert attention.
By making it appear as though Star Luo was their primary target, they would force the Three Empires to concentrate their troops there, successfully executing a diversion tactic.
Under Huo Yuhao's guidance, a group of undead soldiers was equipped with soul engineer armor, their faces concealed as they posed as fake soul engineer legions.
The advantage of using the undead was simple they were completely obedient, ensuring no mistakes would be made.
Additionally, a batch of decommissioned soul cannons was relocated from the Sun Moon Empire to construct fake artillery positions.
As long as they looked real from the outside, it didn't matter that they couldn't actually fire outsiders wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
Huo Yuhao sighed, "That's right. With Grandmaster Kong's current strength, even if Shrek Academy's Mu En came in person, he wouldn't be Kong's match."
He then turned to Juzi.
"Juzi, I'm leaving the Mingdou Mountains and heading to the Heavenly Soul Empire. Everything here will be under your and Grandmaster Kong's command. I'll transfer full control of the undead to you."
The Heavenly Soul Empire's protector sect was the Body Sect, and Huo Yuhao had already built a strong relationship with them.
He didn't want the Body Sect to suffer major losses, but at the same time, the Heavenly Soul Empire had to fall.
So, he planned to negotiate with Du Busi.
In the original timeline, Du Busi had ultimately sacrificed his life in an attempt to assassinate Xu Tianran, mainly because the Sun Moon Empire and the evil soul masters had inflicted devastating losses on both the Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Royal Family.
During the original Sun Moon–Heavenly Soul War, the Body Sect stood firmly against the invasion.
As a result, two-thirds of their elites perished, including the most outstanding young talent, Long Aotian, who died on the battlefield.
Du Busi himself suffered severe injuries, dramatically reducing his lifespan, while the Heavenly Soul Royal Family was also severely weakened.
With so many irreparable losses, the Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Royal Family had no choice but to fight the Sun Moon Empire and the evil soul masters to the bitter end, leaving no room for compromise.
But now, things were different.
While the Sun Moon army had indeed launched a night raid, they had also taken steps to conceal their movements to avoid early detection.
After all, soul cannons and armor could simply be stored inside spatial soul tools, only taken out when needed.
According to the information provided by the will of the world, the Sun Moon army had not yet reached Tiandou City, nor had they officially clashed with the Heavenly Soul army.
There was still time to change the outcome.
The exact terms of the negotiation would depend on Huo Yuhao and Du Busi.
Juzi nodded. "Yuhao, don't worry. Everything here is under control. Grandmaster Kong and I will handle everything."
Heavenly Soul Empire – Haotian Sect
Da Ming stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the majestic mountain ranges before him.
The rolling sea of clouds reflected in his eyes, the crisp chirping of birds echoed in the distance, and each breath of fresh mountain air filled his lungs with a sense of tranquility.
Meanwhile, Er Ming approached with hurried steps, his expression filled with anxiety.
"Brother, why are you just standing here watching the clouds at a time like this?
The Sun Moon Empire has already launched a full-scale war!
You know what Shrek Academy is like Xiao Qi is definitely being sent to the battlefield!
If something happens to Xiao Qi, how will we face Sister Xiao Wu?"
Da Ming turned to him and said calmly, "Er Ming, stay calm.
Don't forget Tang San's divine sense is present.
No matter how many Sun Moon troops try to kill Xiao Qi, before a God-King's power, they are nothing more than ants. There's nothing to worry about."
Er Ming furrowed his brows deeply, forming a 川 character on his forehead.
"Brother! Haven't you realized what kind of person Tang San really is?"
"Yes, he'll ensure that Xiao Qi doesn't die, but that doesn't mean he won't torment her.
For all we know, he might use some twisted method to torture Xiao Qi all in the name of 'testing' her!
I used to believe in Tang San's so-called 'trials' because I thought he was doing it for Xiao Qi's benefit.
But now, I see it clearly he's just a sadist who enjoys tormenting people!"
Da Ming let out a long sigh. "Er Ming, do you think I don't know this?
But what can we do?
Tang San is a God-King and what are we? We're just divine officials!"
Er Ming's expression hardened.
"So what? Are we just going to do nothing?
Xiao Qi is Sister Xiao Wu's daughter!
If worst comes to worst, let's tell Sister Xiao Wu the truth!
Let her bring Xiao Qi back to the Divine Realm!
She can stay with the Goddess of Life away from Tang San!"
Da Ming smiled bitterly. "Er Ming, your idea is good, but it's impossible.
Both Tang San and Sister Xiao Wu agreed that Xiao Qi should study in the mortal world.
We can't change their minds."
Er Ming, clearly frustrated, said, "Brother, you're smarter than me think of something!
As divine officials, we can't leave Haotian Sect unless Tang San shields us from the Divine Realm's rules.
If not for that, I would've gone to protect Xiao Qi myself!"
Da Ming fell into deep thought, searching for a way out of the seemingly inescapable maze.
Suddenly, a lightbulb went off in his mind.
"Er Ming, let's go to the Divine Realm and talk to Sister Xiao Wu.
We can convince her to place a strand of her divine sense on Xiao Qi.
That way, even if we can't leave Haotian Sect, Sister Xiao Wu's divine sense can watch over Xiao Qi, ensuring Tang San doesn't go too far."
As Xiao Qi's father, Tang San had the right to place divine protection on her.
Although gods weren't supposed to interfere with the mortal world, protecting one's child was considered a natural parental instinct.
As Xiao Qi's mother, Xiao Wu had the same right.
And while Xiao Wu wasn't as strong as Tang San, as the Scabbard of the Asura Sword, she was still a god.
Er Ming thought for a moment, then grinned. "That's a great idea! Let's go!"
Moments later, in a valley within the Divine Realm, Da Ming and Er Ming found Xiao Wu.
Without hesitation, Da Ming spoke.
"Sister Xiao Wu, why don't you place a strand of your divine sense on Xiao Qi?"
