Douluo: Evolution from the Human-Faced Demon Spider

Chapter 153 Star Luo Empire
After being brainwashed by Fang Chang's rhythmic words, Qian Renxue began to doubt whether what their Spirit Hall did was right or not.

Perhaps it is true as he said, when there are too many soul masters, it will indeed bring many negative impacts to the continent, and the current disputes are indeed mostly caused by soul masters.

But she was just thinking about it, and soon she forced herself to suppress these thoughts. As the young master of the Spirit Hall and the future helmsman of the Spirit Hall, how could she listen to this man's lies and deceive the people!

Fang Chang did not expect to completely change Qian Renxue's beliefs through this conversation. He just wanted to plant a seed in her heart first, and then influence her subtly in the future, and finally make her believe in spiders completely.

And now, his goal has obviously been achieved.

He had already thought about the content of his conversation with Qian Renxue this time. On the one hand, he deliberately exaggerated the disaster that the soul masters had brought to the continent, and on the other hand, he portrayed the Spider God Cult as a good group of people who were saving the world.

Of course, Qian Renxue could not be told about the Spider Clan yet, and she must not be allowed to know that the ultimate goal of reducing the number of soul masters was to allow the Spider Clan to unify the continent.

Fang Chang had already realized that it was unrealistic to let the Spider Clan control humans, and humans would never obey the Spider Clan's orders. At that time, humans would definitely rise up in resistance.

If he wants to resist, there must be a force taking the lead. Instead of letting the Spirit Hall or the two major human empires take the lead, it would be better for him to do it himself.

It would surely be interesting to make the Spider God Cult the common faith and guardian of mankind, and then let them lead mankind to fight against the soul beast forces represented by the spider clan, while he himself silently controls the overall situation behind the scenes.

Thinking of this, Fang Chang looked towards the south. This battle was now the key to achieving his goal. He no longer had to worry about the conflict between the Tiandou Empire and the Spirit Hall.

However, the Xingluo Empire seemed to have been deliberately avoiding war. Although they also sent troops to strengthen border defenses, they had been slow to take any substantial action.

The gap between the high-level combat power of the Tiandou Empire and the Spirit Hall is too big. If they continue to waste time like this, they will soon be defeated. They must drag the Xingluo Empire in as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Fang Chang quietly left the nest and flew towards the border of the Xingluo Empire.

At this time, the Xing Luo Empire dispatched most of the country's troops and imperial spirit masters to the front line, which was only a few dozen miles away from the Spirit Hall.

The Spirit Hall did not dare to be careless and stationed a large number of spirit masters opposite them, but the two sides only looked at each other from a distance and there was very little friction, which was completely different from the situation on the Tiandou Empire side.

Now the Xing Luo Empire was on guard against a sudden attack from the Spirit Hall, while at the same time planning to wait until the Spirit Hall and the Tian Dou Empire were almost exhausted before entering the battlefield to reap the rewards.

The three forces have created a delicate balance over the past hundreds of years. If any one of them declines, the landscape of the entire continent will be rewritten in an instant.

There is no way the Xing Luo Empire would sit idly by and watch the Spirit Hall swallow up the Tian Dou Empire and then come looking for trouble after it recovers.

Similarly, if the Spirit Hall had enough strength, it would not allow a thorn like the Star Luo Empire to hang on its back.

It’s just that now both sides want to do the biggest thing at the lowest cost and increase their own chances of winning as much as possible.

Fang Chang was in the air looking at the two parties who had no intention of fighting each other for the time being, and he was quickly thinking about how to guide them in order to induce a war between the two sides.

It would definitely not work if they followed the Heaven Dou Empire's way of doing things. After the incident in the Heaven Dou Empire, the Xing Luo Empire strengthened its guard, and most of the important figures hid themselves well, fearing that they would be assassinated by the Spirit Hall's people.

If they create chaos directly on the border, it will most likely be treated as friction. Before the outcome of the war in the Tiandou Empire, neither side will make much movement.

This is a bit difficult. Fang Chang was thinking about it when he suddenly noticed a small river winding beside the Spirit Hall's position.

This river is right between the territories of the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Hall. The upper reaches are in the Star Luo Empire, while the lower reaches flow into the territory of the Spirit Hall.

At this time, because there were many soul masters stationed at the Spirit Hall’s position and water was in short supply, this river became their main source of water.

God is really helping me! Fang Chang was overjoyed and quickly dropped from the sky and hid in a secluded place on the Xingluo Empire side.

It was not until some time at noon the next day that Fang Chang saw a stove set up on the position of the Spirit Hall and green smoke rising, and he realized that the time had come.

He quickly took a few big steps to the edge of the stream, opened his mouth and used his poisonous mist breathing skill into the river.

The poisonous fog contaminated the river water, instantly dyeing it purple and black, but as the water flowed, other branches continued to converge into this small river, and the strange color was quickly diluted.

By the time it flowed into the Spirit Hall, the color of the river water was only slightly darker than usual, and it would be difficult to tell the difference without careful observation.

While Fang Chang continued to inject toxins into the river water, he looked quietly into the distance.

The people of the Spirit Hall had not yet realized the danger. They still fetched water from the river to wash vegetables, cook, or drink directly as usual.

When Fang Chang saw that it was almost done, he stopped his poisonous mist breathing skill and watched the movements of the Spirit Hall from a distance with great interest.

After about ten minutes, some soul masters who had drunk the river water directly began to feel unwell, and then more and more people had problems, and wailing was heard on the battlefield of the Spirit Hall.

The toxin produced by Fang Chang's current soul power of more than 500,000 years is so toxic that even if it is diluted countless times, it can still cause fatal damage to ordinary low-level soul masters.

At this moment, Fang Chang sneaked into the Xingluo Empire's camp and sounded the war drum.

The sound of war drums resounded to the sky. The soldiers of the Star Luo Empire, who were also making fires and cooking, threw away their bowls and chopsticks and returned to their defensive positions.

But at this time they found that the sound of the war drums had stopped, and there was no one where the drums were being beaten. Who was beating the war drums became a mystery.

On the other side, the Spirit Hall's position was already in chaos, and many spirit masters fell to the ground and died due to the poison.

At this moment, they heard the sound of war drums coming from the Xing Luo Empire, and considered that most of the poisoned people had drunk the river water flowing from there.

They immediately concluded that this was a trick played by the Xing Luo Empire. They first poisoned the river water to weaken their combat power, and then launched a surprise attack in the chaos!
It's simply despicable! The head coach of the Spirit Hall had a dark face, even though they had received orders to avoid fighting with the Xing Luo Empire as much as possible.

But now they have bullied me to this extent, and it was they who first sounded the war drum and sent out the signal to start the war.

"If you want to fight, then fight. Pass my order down. Gather the remaining soul masters. Sound the drums. Start the war!" The general methodically organized the remaining soul masters to prepare for war and also sounded the war drums.

On the Xing Luo Empire side, the mistake of beating the war drums had not yet passed when they heard the Spirit Hall on the opposite side also beating the drums in response. This was the signal to start a war.

At this moment, the soldiers had to return to their defensive positions and were forced to fight against the Spirit Hall.

By this time, Fang Chang had already slipped away for a long distance and was quite satisfied with his previous actions. Now the Xing Luo Empire had no choice but to join the battle.
