After all, if what Lin Chuan said is true, their Star Luo Empire alone cannot withstand the offensive of the Abyss Plane.
Lin Chuan nodded silently, "I'm just making a suggestion. Whether or not you should do it is up to you."
"I will return to Snowfield City later and come back after I have dealt with all the affairs in the territory."
With the invasion of the Abyss Plane imminent, it is impossible for us, as members of the continent, to sit idly by.
After all, if the two great empires and the Spirit Hall truly failed in their resistance, Snowfield City could not possibly remain unscathed.
After hearing this.
Although Zhu Zhuyun felt a little reluctant, she knew she had no reason to ask Lin Chuan to stay.
The fact that the other party was willing to tell them the origins of those monsters was already a huge help.
"Respectfully seeing off Your Majesty!"
Lin Chuan nodded again and disappeared silently from the palace, just as he had come.
Only after the figure completely disappeared did the Duke of the Underworld dare to breathe heavily.
He quickly asked, "Zhu Yun, how did you come to know His Majesty?"
Zhu Zhuyun glanced at the Grand Duke of Youming and explained softly.
"My father knows him too. He's Lin Chuan, who shone brightly during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament!"
The Duke of the Underworld was startled.
"You mean Lin Chuan, who defeated Haotian Douluo head-on, escaped the blockade of Wuhun City unscathed, and was eventually appointed Zhenbei King by the Heaven Dou Empire?"
Seeing Zhu Zhuyun nod, the Grand Duke of Youming couldn't help but gasp.
If he remembered correctly, the other person should be about the same age as his youngest daughter.
Back then, it was already able to defeat Haotian Douluo head-on. Now, after so much time has passed, has it become this powerful?
Recalling the chilling oppressive feeling he had just experienced, the Grand Duke of the Underworld felt a chill run down his spine.
Fortunately, he didn't anger the other party, otherwise he would probably be dead by now.
"So Dai Mubai was also killed by him, Your Majesty?"
"The Grand Duke of the Underworld asked again in a hoarse voice."
Zhu Zhuyun nodded again.
"The reason Your Majesty took action against Dai Mubai is because Dai Mubai became an evil soul master and also intended to attack Snowfield City."
"They deserve to die!"
The Grand Duke of the Underworld couldn't help but exclaim loudly in praise.
To actually provoke such a powerful being, what a terrible fate!
Fortunately, the Star Luo Empire didn't have time to do anything, otherwise it wouldn't just be Dai Mubai who died.
The Duke of the Underworld was immediately overjoyed.
His eyes darted around slightly as he tentatively asked, "Zhu Yun, what is Your Majesty's attitude towards the Zhu family?"
Zhu Zhuyun was not yet clear about the intention behind the Duke of Youming's words, so she honestly replied.
"It should be alright. His Majesty once said that he saved my little sister, and she is now cultivating on Seagod Island."
"For the sake of my younger sister, they probably won't make things too difficult for the Zhu family."
Upon hearing this, the Duke of the Underworld's eyes lit up.
He couldn't wait to speak, "Zhu Yun, do you think it's possible for our Zhu family to gain the protection of this sage?"
"Now that Dai Mubai is dead, the Star Luo Empire is leaderless."
"But a country cannot be without a ruler for a day. If we can gain His Majesty's support, perhaps our Zhu family can..."
"Father, you can't say such things!"
However, before the Duke of Youming could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Zhuyun's stern voice.
"With Your Majesty's strength, taking control of the Star Luo Empire would be a piece of cake. If we overstep our bounds, we will be doomed."
Upon hearing this, the Grand Duke of the Underworld calmed down considerably.
But he still wouldn't give up.
"Of course I know all this, but the Star Luo royal family no longer has the White Tiger Martial Soul, which could very well lead to unrest."
“In the past, the Zhu family relied on the imperial family and could rest easy, but they also made quite a few enemies.”
"If someone else takes over, my Zhu family will likely face all sorts of suppression, or even be purged."
"Furthermore, the Spirit Hall is ambitious. If we don't want to be destroyed, we must make plans as soon as possible."
The Duke of the Underworld expressed his concerns with deep worry.
Zhu Zhuyun was at a loss for words.
She had to admit that she was indeed moved by what the Duke of the Underworld said.
With no successor in the Xingluo royal family, it's time to re-align themselves and make plans as soon as possible.
“Father, I will think about this matter.”
"However, the most urgent task now is to deal with the threat posed by the Abyss Plane, otherwise the Star Luo Empire may collapse."
"Quickly send the Imperial Marshal to lead the army back to reinforce the area. Even if we don't aim to defeat the Abyss Plane, we must at least protect towns and civilians from harm."
"Furthermore, send people to Heaven Dou City and Spirit City to inform them of this matter, propose a meeting, and discuss jointly fighting against the Abyss Plane!"
Zhu Zhuyun snapped out of her daze and steered the conversation back to the main topic.
Grand Duke Youming nodded slightly. "I will send someone to deliver the message to Heaven Dou City and the Spirit Hall immediately."
"In the next few days, we must do our best to suppress any unusual movements by officials, in case anyone takes the opportunity to cause trouble."
Zhu Zhuyun suddenly took the lead, a fierce glint flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"Then kill!"
"I will not be lenient with anyone who dares to mess around in this kind of thing, no matter who they are."
Seeing this, the Grand Duke of the Underworld nodded in satisfaction.
"I'm relieved that you understand."
"Also, please pay close attention to the matter I just mentioned, Zhu Yun, as it concerns the survival of the Zhu family."
Zhu Zhuyun nodded expressionlessly. "I understand. I will try to mention this matter when I meet Your Majesty next time."
"Then I'll leave first!"
The Duke of the Underworld showed a look of joy and turned to leave.
Once the footsteps had completely disappeared, Zhu Zhuyun gently touched her forehead, a troubled look on her face.
How exactly can we gain Lin Chuan's support?
We don't need the other side to support the Zhu family to sit on the throne of the Star Luo Empire, we just need to ensure that the Zhu family is not harmed, or even destroyed in this turmoil.
After much thought, it seems there's only one way.
Zhu Zhuyun's brows slowly relaxed.
"The only way is to try and get help from my younger sister. Maybe His Majesty can help us out because of our relationship."
"I wonder when my little sister will be back."
Lin Chuan returned to Snowfield City.
No matter how late it was, he immediately woke up Shui Lanxin.
"Xiao Chuan, why did you wake me up so late?"
Shui Lanxin looked annoyed.
However, upon seeing Lin Chuan's serious expression, Shui Lanxin realized the gravity of the situation.
She immediately composed herself, her tone becoming slightly somber.
"Xiao Chuan, what on earth has happened now?"
"Did you slip up and let Tang San escape by accident?"
Shui Lanxin made a guess in a soft voice.
Lin Chuan shook his head. "Tang San didn't run away, but he left behind a mess before he died."
"Something has happened to the Star Luo Empire!"
No hiding at all.
Lin Chuan explained the current situation in detail.
"There are other dimensions that exist, and the creatures there are so bizarre! This is a disaster for the continent!"
Shui Lanxin's voice sounded slightly heavy.
She never imagined that something that seemed so simple would end up causing such a disaster.
