Douluo Continent: My Days in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 675 Star Luo Empress

Chapter 675 Star Luo Empress

Inside the palace, all the forces engaged in fierce battle felt the ground beneath their feet tremble.

"It's Your Majesty!" Empress Xingluo looked at the mushroom cloud rising with a worried expression.

Two elderly women, their bodies covered in bruises, stood guard on either side of her. Their nine spirit rings were dull and lifeless, clearly indicating that they had just been through a fierce battle.

"At all costs! Get to His Majesty's side!" Empress Xingluo took out a healing pill, swallowed it, and looked at the remaining female officials beside her, saying firmly.

"yes!"

Xingluo City, Xingluo Police Station.

Squads of armored soldiers fell in pools of blood, and the once bustling streets were filled with blood, bullet holes, and severed limbs.

The Star Luo constables never imagined that the Imperial Guard would suddenly go berserk and attack people everywhere, and that many evil spirit masters dressed in black robes and using evil magic would secretly emerge.

The once prosperous and wealthy Xingluo City was instantly engulfed in war.

Alarms were coming from all directions, leaving the police officers powerless. They were all stuck in front of the government building, and the door signs were smashed. They couldn't spare any manpower to support the streets.

Zhang Ze was a police chief. When the attack occurred, he received a report from a civilian that a murder had taken place in a dark alley.

When he led his team to the scene, there were no corpses at all, only two zombies wearing armor.

Then alarms sounded in various streets, and evil spirit masters, carrying the corpses of the Imperial Guards, wreaked havoc throughout the city.

The sudden attack caused heavy losses to Zhang Ze's squad, with only two of the five brothers he brought remaining by his side.

The three fought back desperately, exhausting all their defensive soul tools, and hid behind a recycling station.

"I still have 30% of my soul power left. Only my right hand can still move; my left hand is probably broken." Zhang Ze leaned against a large garbage bag, his left arm drooping as if it had no bones.

The other two were in no better shape than Zhang Ze; they were covered in bruises, and one of them had even lost an eye.

"Captain, I still have 20% of my soul power and two soul-guided ray guns."

"I'm out of soul power, but I still have two soul-guided shields. I'll charge out and act as your shield!"

Zhang Ze tore a long strip of cloth from his trouser leg and tied it around his left hand. "See you at Lord Ma's place tonight! And you two better come report to me earlier in your next life! You hear me?!"

The three exchanged a glance, smiled brightly, and then simultaneously got up and rushed out.

When the three of them rushed out, the scene they had expected—a scene filled with the corpses of evil soul masters and controlled imperial guards—did not appear. Instead, they saw people wearing strange armor and wielding soul tools sweeping away and killing the imperial guards who were being parasitized and controlled.

"This is... reinforcements have arrived?" Zhang Ze stared blankly as a three-person team worked together to kill a seventh-ring evil spirit master in a few breaths, and then kept up with the large team that was killing the evil spirit master.

"Comrades, you are injured! Please follow us, we will escort you to the temporary medical point!" A five-person team quickly approached Zhang Ze and his two companions, and before they could react, a set of medical spray had already sprayed them from head to toe.

Zhang Ze, whose head was still spinning as he was quickly placed on the floating stretcher, asked, "Which city defense force are you from?"

"Comrade, we are the Shadow Stream support team, a cooperative sect represented by Princess Jiu Jiu. Rest assured, Star Luo City is our home, and we will protect it with all our might!"

Upon hearing the words "Princess Jiu Jiu," Zhang Ze's tense nerves finally relaxed. He lay quietly on the floating stretcher equipped with a soul-guided shield, his eyelids growing heavy, and he fainted.

When he woke up again, he was in the city's medical hospital.

"You're awake!" A medical worker quickly stepped forward to check on Zhang Ze's condition.

Zhang Ze now felt a burning pain in his throat.

The medical staff quickly handed him a glass of water, which Zhang Ze abruptly sat up and swallowed in one gulp.

"What's going on now?" Zhang Ze had regained some of his composure; he still remembered being rescued.

"The situation outside has been brought under control. It was Princess Jiujiu who led the army to quickly quell the chaos in the city!" the medical staff replied.

After listening, Zhang Ze leaned against the headboard as if all his strength had been drained, the tearing pain throughout his body causing his throat to dry again.

"That damned evil spirit master! Thank goodness for Her Highness's bravery!"

Xu Jiujiu led the Imperial Guard and several sect forces to quickly suppress the evil soul masters in Xingluo City, sweeping through the city like a tsunami, letting every civilian know that it was this princess in armor who saved them from disaster.

This single battle greatly enhanced Xu Jiujiu's reputation, making him a household name.

Some noble families and sects with strong investigative capabilities keenly sensed the unusual spread of Xu Jiujiu's reputation, as if someone was deliberately promoting Xu Jiujiu, the little princess of the empire.

However, given their great reputation for saving Xingluo City, they couldn't easily take any action. After all, the fact that the Emperor in the palace didn't stop them meant that he tacitly allowed it.

But why hasn't that person spoken up yet?

Starry Palace.

Upon receiving news of the attack on the palace, Shattered Star Douluo and Giant Hammer Douluo rushed back immediately, sparing no effort, and personally took up their posts in front of Xu Jiawei's palace, replacing the guards.

The palace was filled with charred and explosive marks, and soldiers were urgently cleaning up the bloodstains in the palace passageways.

Inside the palace, Empress Xingluo and two imperial concubines, still dressed in the same clothes as when they were attacked, were anxiously waiting in the outer courtyard. When they saw the Healer Douluo come out, they immediately surrounded him.

"Elder Wang, Your Majesty, what is the situation?"

The Immortal Physician Douluo bowed slightly to Empress Xingluo and said, "Your Majesty's condition is still unstable and requires more time for observation. I must go and prepare the medicine."

Empress Xingluo's eyes reddened, and her body swayed precariously. If it weren't for the two imperial concubines behind her who caught her quickly, she would have probably sat down on the ground.

"His Majesty!"

"Sister, please calm down. Senior Doctor Douluo didn't say His Majesty's condition was very serious!" A concubine with a slightly youthful face quickly said.

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of light returned to Empress Xingluo's eyes.

"I will avenge His Majesty!"

Hearing the commotion outside, Xu Jiujiu reached out and peeled a piece of fruit, handing it to Xu Jiawei, who was lying on the bed, and asked, "Your sister-in-law is so heartbroken, are you sure you want to keep lying to her? I won't be responsible if you get beaten up later."

The latest novel is first published here!

Xu Jiawei leisurely munched on a piece of fruit, rolled his eyes at Xu Jiujiu, and said, "Have I spoiled you for nothing, little sister? You didn't even help me when I got beaten up?"

"Brother, this is a feigned weakness! This attack was very purposeful. Our defensive line map must have been exposed, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to attack when Shattered Star and Giant Hammer were not around, especially by creating chaos elsewhere to tie down most of the elders. The Queen almost fell into their trap too!"

A strong killing intent flashed in Xu Jiawei's eyes. It seemed that there was a traitor within the palace, or even among his own people.

These traitors must be caught, otherwise he will never have peace.

So when Xu Jiawei saw Ye Nanxiao's self-destruct attack, he suddenly had a plan and, taking advantage of his injury, devised a scheme.

He deliberately claimed to be seriously injured and beyond medical help, but in reality, he went into hiding to see which demons and monsters were ravaging his empire!

Looking at the murderous intent in Xu Jiawei's eyes, Xu Jiujiu knew he had made up his mind and couldn't be persuaded otherwise, so she asked, "Are you sure you want to push me up to be the temporary emperor? Aren't you afraid I'll work myself to death?"

"What? You don't want to be the empress? Wasn't your childhood dream to emulate the first empress?" Xu Jiawei asked with a hint of surprise. If it weren't for Xu Jiujiu's wish, he wouldn't have given her so much power.

"It's good, but Xingluo is a broken ship now, and you don't have much time left for me." Although Xu Jiujiu complained, a burning light rose in her eyes.

Empress of the Stars!

This has been her dream since she was a child!

Xu Jiawei, chewing on a fruit, turned his head away. "I've left Senior Healer and Senior Shattered Star to you. I have a use for that brute Giant Hammer. That's all I have to say. The password to the study is the birthday of the first Empress. The switch for the secret passage is under the desk, on the third brick of the right table leg. You've memorized everything else after all these years. If you don't understand, ask Eunuch Zhao. As for those royals, kill them if you need to. You need to establish your authority. Anyway, those old bastards have been sucking blood for so many years, it's time for them to spit it out!"

After gazing at the imperial edict in his hand for a long time, he felt an overwhelming surge of pride.

"I understand, but you can handle things with your sister-in-law yourself, I can't interfere!" Xu Jiujiu got up and left.

"By the way, Shadow Stream is based in Star Luo City, right under your nose. Don't you dare bring back the sect leader just because you've become empress, even though Nan Xiao has indeed made many great contributions."

Xu Jiawei's slightly teasing voice made Xu Jiujiu quicken her pace to leave.

After watching her leave for a long time, until he could no longer feel her presence, Xu Jiawei's smile disappeared. He looked down at his abdomen, which was wrapped in white cloth, where dark blood was still seeping out.

"Who are the moles? I need to catch those damned rats for Jiu Jiu quickly!"

The next day.

Dressed in a dark yellow imperial robe, holding the emperor's decree, and closely followed by the two imperial guardians, Shattered Star Douluo and Immortal Healer Douluo, Xu Jiujiu sat on the dragon throne under the watchful eyes of the assembled officials.

Some ministers who harbored resentment lowered their heads under the piercing gaze of the Shattered Star Douluo.

"Two things are to be announced today."

"Your Majesty is unwell, so I will temporarily take over the governance of the empire."

After speaking for a long time, Shattered Star Douluo unleashed a powerful aura that enveloped the entire hall.

"Secondly, anyone who offends Xingluo will be punished!"

"The compensation for all fallen soldiers will be tripled! The soldiers of Star Luo fear no death! And we will never let those rats who secretly covet the Star Luo Empire escape!"

The news that the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire was injured and recuperating, and that Princess Xu Jiujiu, the leader of the army, would temporarily assume the throne, spread instantly throughout the other three empires.
