Wind Douluo, unaware of the situation, stared at the soul cannonballs continually falling from the sky and complained in extreme irritation, "How much longer till half an hour passes? Why haven't these guys' soul tools run out of power yet? Could it be that Mirror Dust is playing me for a fool?"
One of the Soul Masters beside him spoke up, "Lord Wind Douluo, I think there's still some time before half an hour is up!"
Wind Douluo glared at him coldly and bellowed, "I know there's still some time left, do I need you to tell me that? I'm asking for specifics!!!"
The scolded Soul Master hung his head and bit his lip in silence "..."
Seeing the Soul Master in front of him as silent as wood, Wind Douluo wished he could strangle him, "What the hell are you silent for! Don't just stand there, bomb them!!"
The startled Soul Master immediately took out his soul tool and continued to bombard the city...
After a few minutes of back-and-forth defense and bombing, the Sun-Moon Empire Soul Master Troop finally sensed something was amiss...
Because the number of missiles coming from the sky had been reduced by more than half!
The Soul Masters said one after another, "Lord Wind Douluo, something doesn't seem right! These attacks are much weaker than at the beginning!"
"Yes! The earlier attacks were like rainstorms of bullets, but now, while still numerous, are completely on a different level! Could they be plotting against us?"
"In my opinion, they are scared and have fled! Otherwise, why would there be so many fewer Soul Masters?"
Wind Douluo's eyes turned to the sky above the city, and seeing that the Titled Douluo he had been locking gazes with had disappeared, he cursed, "Damn, we've been played!! Everyone, activate the Defensive Soul Guidance Devices and charge!! Blow the gates open by force!!!"
As his words fell, the Sun-Moon Empire Soul Master Troop began advancing in large strides, soon arriving at the city's edge!!
The Soul Masters on the city walls, seeing this scene, grimaced, "The Sun-Moon Empire seems to have realized it, let's retreat as well!"
With that, rather than linger, the Soul Masters chose to abandon the city immediately...
Continuing the battle would only lead to senseless casualties!!!
...
Elsewhere, Qian Yu and Tang Wutong stepped out from the Nether Vortex...
Tang Wutong looked around the desolate scenery, puzzled, "Qian Yu, aren't you going to the Sun-Moon Empire Imperial Palace?"
Qian Yu was startled, "Go to the Imperial Palace? Wutong, I think you've misunderstood something, I came here to search for my clone!"
Truth be told, he was really speechless about his own clone...
Although all its Divine Power had been absorbed, its Life Force was stubborn enough not to die! This made it impossible for him to receive feedback, forcing him to make the trip himself...
Tang Wutong's face flushed slightly, "Not... not going to the Sun-Moon Empire Imperial Palace? I thought..."
She had thought Qian Yu was going to the Imperial Palace to find that woman named Juzi, which is why she had followed him...
Qian Yu teased with curiosity, "Wutong, are you maybe overthinking something?"
Tang Wutong blinked her Beautiful Eyes adorably, turning her head to the side with a somewhat stammering tone. "No... nothing, I just... just worried about you coming to the Sun-Moon Empire alone..."
Qian Yu smiled and didn't call her out on her words...
Then, he closed his eyes, and his Divine Power burst out in an instant, spreading rapidly in all directions...
After extending for several minutes, he finally sensed a familiar aura...
His eyes snapped open, calmly stating, "Found it!"
He felt that his clone's aura was very weak, but there were no fatal injuries!
Tang Wutong, seeing this, asked curiously, "Qian Yu, have you found it?"
```
Qian Yu nodded, "Yes! Up ahead, he must have fallen into a coma!"
With that, the two of them burst out with Soul Power and ran toward the direction ahead...
Before long, they saw a man in a coma not far from the lake's shore!
It was none other than Qian Yu's clone!
His body was covered in blood, but faint breathing sounds could still be heard, clearly indicating he was not dead...
Standing by his side, Tang Wutong exclaimed, "Qian Yu, what did you send this clone to do? How did it end up like this..."
She had witnessed the abilities of Qian Yu's clone, capable of completely suppressing evil Soul Masters at the Hyper Douluo level, yet now it was in such a miserable state...
What shocked her most was that there wasn't a trace of Soul Power or Divine Power in the clone's body! Simply put, it was like an ordinary person!
Qian Yu shook his head, "I sent him to the Sun-Moon Empire Imperial Palace, but as for what exactly happened, I have no idea!"
He then walked up to his own clone, reached out to touch its cold body, and began to infuse Divine Power into it...
However, it was a failure; the clone's body was like a funnel. As soon as Divine Power was injected, it would instantly dissipate...
Qian Yu furrowed his brows, "Even Divine Power can't be transferred? It's likely a trick of Long Xiaoyao or Ye Xishui..."
But he didn't have that much time to wait for the clone to naturally awaken. His arm suddenly burst into a terrifying golden light and then slammed down onto the clone below...
With a loud "Bang!", the clone's body was obliterated in the horrific attack, turning into golden dust...
Upon the clone's death, all the memories it had experienced were immediately fed back to Qian Yu's true body...
Having carefully felt everything that happened, Qian Yu's eyes emitted a strange light, "So that's how it is... Juzi teamed up with Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui to make a move against me?"
"Qian Yu, what you did was..."
Returning to his senses, Qian Yu explained to Tang Wutong, "This clone had been tampered with, unable to store Divine Power in its body. By destroying it, all the memories it experienced instantly fed back to me."
It was then that Tang Wutong breathed a sigh of relief, "Phew..."
His act of destroying his own clone had indeed baffled her...
But with his explanation, it made sense...
Her tone then changed as she asked, "Qian Yu, so do we now return to Shrek Academy?"
"Back to Hao Tian Clan!"
He felt more and more that the deep adventure in the Valley of Cosmic Love was definitely not simple, and was at least closely related to Tang San!!!
...
In the Divine Realm...
Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes looked at the life embryo transforming into a figure, which turned out to be Xu Sheng in his twelve or thirteen-year-old phase...
"Tang San, what's happening with Xu Sheng?"
The man standing next to her was the Sea God Tang San. Tang San spoke with a somewhat solemn tone, "Hmm! I didn't expect Brother Sheng's Life Force to be so powerful... He should be able to fully awaken soon!"
"However, if we want him to grow back to his state before his fall, it'll probably still require the enhancement of destructive power!"
