Chapter 557 The overall situation has been decided
More than thirty ninth-level soul masters from the Sun and Moon Empire also followed Xu Zihuang to the palace of the Star Luo Empire.
There are more than thirty ninth-level soul mentors, plus four from the Protector's Hand soul mentor group. This tyrannical fighting power is even enough to sweep any country among the three empires that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent.
Although the defenses of the Star Luo Empire's palace were tight and the royal family was enshrined, all the ministers present were shivering and frightened.
They all knew how powerful Xu Zihuang and the Sun Moon Empire were, but no one expected that in just one night, Xu Zihuang would lead the powerful men and troops of the Sun Moon Empire directly into the main hall of the Star Luo Empire. Give them room to breathe.
"Protect Your Majesty!" White Tiger Duke Dai Hao was the first to react. He jumped up like a fierce tiger and stood in front of Xu Jiawei immediately.
The royal ministers of the Star Luo Empire also turned into streams of light and rushed over upon hearing the sound, surrounding Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu in the center.
The Star Luo Empire is indeed the most powerful among the original Douluo Continent, but it lacks top experts. Since the death of Dark Gold Douluo Yang Lao in the hands of Xu Zihuang, the strongest person in the royal family of the Star Luo Empire was only Shattering Star Douluo, whose soul power had only broken through to level ninety-six in recent years.
At this time, the light of purple broken stars continued to flash in the void, rendering the entire magnificent hall the same color.
Xu Jiawei's status as emperor of the Xingluo Empire often makes people overlook his powerful strength. As a rare genius in the Star Crown Family for a thousand years, he has actually already touched the Super Douluo realm. With the special ability of the Star Crown Martial Spirit, it has the ability to compete with even a super Douluo.
A star crown blooming with bright golden light hovered above Xu Jiawei's head. Little bits of light golden starlight poured down, blending into the soul power overflowing from the body of the royal family members of the Star Luo Empire and the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao.
With the integration of these pale golden stars, the aura of Duke White Tiger and others has obviously improved a lot.
Seeing Xu Jiawei's instinctive performance as if facing a formidable enemy, Xu Zihuang walked past him without changing his expression, and sat calmly on the throne that should have belonged to Xu Jiawei.
Ye Guyi and Wang Qiuer followed Xu Zihuang step by step, and then stood on both sides of Xu Zihuang. The two girls were inherently cold when facing outsiders, and their indifferent expressions invisibly brought a strong sense of oppression to the civil and military officials of the Star Luo Empire in the hall.
Finally, there was Orange. She stood in front of Xu Zihuang and stared at White Tiger Duke Dai Hao with a complicated expression.
This is what she has been seeking revenge on for nearly twenty years. But when she was able to easily control the fate of White Tiger Duke Dai Hao, she found that her determination for revenge was not as firm as she had imagined.
After experiencing the warmth from Xu Zihuang and having Xu Xiyan as his ideological sustenance, Orange's mentality began to change subtly. No longer as paranoid as before. When she and Xu Zihuang were guarding Xu Xiyan, the happiness that lingered in her heart made her feel like she had returned to her childhood.
Be carefree and immersed in that ordinary happiness.
Thinking back carefully, what killed her father was ultimately the war. The White Tiger Duke Dai Hao was actually just the target of her anger. Looking back to the fundamentals, the Sun and Moon Empire and its rulers, who forcibly recruited her father to join the frontline army, were also its executioners.
Xu Zihuang, who saw what Orange was thinking, took the initiative to hold one of Orange's hands to comfort him.
Naturally, he didn't want Orange to live in hatred forever, but he had no intention of letting Dai Hao go today.
Xu Zihuang held Orange and let him sit in his arms. His eyes were calm and he whispered: "Kill."
His calm voice without any emotion made everyone present take their breath away.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Jing Hongchen, leading a group of ninth-level soul masters from the Sun and Moon Empire, responded in unison. The Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Group, the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Group, the Terror Claw Soul Instructor Group, and the Demonic Whale Soul Instructor Group all rose up at the same time and used their linked soul guides to seal off the entire palace. Immediately, the soul guidance position was quickly constructed, and all kinds of soul power lights instantly filled the palace.
The faces of the civil and military officials of the Star Luo Empire were full of despair. When life and death are at stake, it is difficult for anyone to truly regard death as home. Even if these ministers were grateful for the kindness of the Star Luo Empire and Xu Jiawei and wanted to die for the country, they could not be alone. Not only for themselves, they also have to think about their family.
"I am willing to surrender!" A minister of the Star Luo Empire could no longer bear the pressure in his heart. His knees softened and he bowed his head and knelt down to Xu Zihuang who was sitting on the throne.
With the first person taking the lead, the people behind will no longer have any scruples. In an instant, more than half of the people in the entire court knelt down and saluted Xu Zihuang.
"We are also willing to surrender!"
Seeing this scene, there was no anger in Xu Jiawei's eyes, only bitterness. White Tiger Duke Dai Hao also weakly loosened his clenched fists.
They all knew that this was an expected outcome. And their Xingluo Empire has long been unable to recover.
However, the pale-faced Xu Jiujiu looked unwilling and stubbornly raised his head to look at Xu Zihuang.
Xu Zihuang didn't look at him for a long time from beginning to end. He raised his right hand and gave the order to everyone in the Sun and Moon Empire.
Jing Hongchen, Ye Yulin, Wang Yao, Yaoyang and other titled Douluo-level experts surrounded Xu Jiawei, who was protected by the royal family of the Star Luo Empire. The remaining four soul master groups of the Sun and Moon Empire launched a unilateral killing spree against those ministers of the Star Luo Empire who were unwilling to surrender.
Screams, tyrannical energy fluctuations, and dazzling soul power light were mixed together. The originally grand and luxurious palace of the Star Luo Empire has turned into a purgatory on earth. Under the bombardment of these powerful soul tools, many people were evaporated without even leaving their corpses behind.
"Stop!" Xu Jiawei roared with a changed expression, but unfortunately it was all in vain. Even if the courtiers of the Star Luo Empire are now afraid of death and surrender, the Soul Engineer Group of the Sun Moon Empire has completely ignored them.
If you didn't cherish the opportunity you were given before, what's the use of regretting it now?
After a while, the killing in the hall finally stopped. Those Xingluo Empire ministers who had surrendered to Xu Zihuang before were all lying on their knees in silence, not even daring to take a breath. Compared to being ashamed of the Star Luo Empire and Xu Jiawei, they were more in shock at the aftermath of the disaster.
Xu Jiawei's chest heaved violently, but in the end he sighed dejectedly.
"Stop causing innocent killings. The Star Luo Empire is willing to surrender..."
Looking at the devastated hall, Xu Jiawei bent his knees and knelt heavily on the ground, as if he had grown older in an instant.
If he could let go of the ridiculous dignity and paranoia in his heart earlier and choose to surrender to the Sun and Moon Empire earlier, perhaps so many people would not be implicated. Of course, he also knew that the killing and purging of their Star Luo Empire by the Sun and Moon Empire was unavoidable.
"Your Majesty!" Dai Hao exclaimed, while the royal ministers of the Star Luo Empire all shook their heads in dismay.
Xu Jiujiu knelt down with tears in his eyes and hugged Xu Jiawei's arm.
"Brother Royal!"
Xu Jiawei suffered huge humiliation, how could they ever hope to see this scene?
Xu Jiawei raised his hand to stop Xu Jiujiu and Dai Hao, and silently looked at Xu Zihuang who was sitting on the throne.
"If I can't protect my subjects and my country, I know I'm not a king in the first place. It's up to you to deal with me as you see fit, and please don't implicate innocent people anymore."
"Your Majesty, I will accompany you in hell." Dai Hao clenched his fists again and said in a deep voice with scorching eyes.
Xu Zihuang ignored Xu Jiawei and Dai Hao's so-called deep love between monarch and minister, but looked sideways at the oranges in his arms.
Facing Xu Zihuang's gaze, Orange pondered for a long time before a heartfelt smile appeared on her pretty face.
"Zi Huang, for me now, the only people I really care about are you and Xi Yan. I just want to be with you and accompany Xi Yan to grow up happily and safely."
Xu Zihuang smiled and intertwined his fingers with Orange, already making a decision in his heart.
He would imprison Xu Jiawei and Dai Hao, including the Xingguan family and the Baihu family behind them, near Mingdu.
Letting Xu Jiawei and Dai Hao die, it actually fulfilled them. He wanted the two of them to witness with their own eyes the prosperity and prosperity of the Sun-Moon Empire after it unified the continent in the future, and to live in the shadow of the Sun-Moon Empire for the rest of their lives.
