Whale Falls and Becomes a God

Chapter 35: Heroes of Troubled Times
"Master Xiao wants to go to the Forbidden Palace?"

Xiao Ying was gazing into the distance at the Forbidden Palace with a frown on his face, watching the strange phenomena erupting above it. Le Han returned to Xiao Ying and asked in a worried tone.

Because of Yu Wenzhi's death, the rebels who attacked Dugu Mansion head-on were killed out of the mansion, leaving corpses everywhere and the earth stained with blood.

The Dugu Mansion's front yard was re-defended to defend against the enemy outside. However, fierce fighting continued in other areas. The main reason was that the army was too formidable and too numerous. Without a formidable formation like Xiao Ying's group, the other areas naturally could not capture the leader first. Instead, most of them were at a disadvantage and suffered heavy casualties.

Xiao Ying nodded frankly and said, "I want to go, but I don't want to go..."

Ambition aside, Xiao Ying didn't want to rescue the Forbidden Palace. Regardless of whether it would succeed, the casualties would surely be huge. Furthermore, after rescuing the Sui Emperor and his ministers, who would be the leader in the future?
Selfishly, Xiao Ying wanted to go to the Forbidden Palace again. In addition to trying his best to rescue, it was mainly for the "Blood Demon Map". After all, the Forbidden Palace had the most elite soldiers and probably the most powerful ones, and the battles were the most brutal. It would definitely be able to gather a large number of post-war elites and absorb a large number of elite star souls.

Unfortunately, the "Blood Demon Map" only has one strategy, and Xiao Ying doesn't know the art of splitting himself, so the absorption range is the range that the spirit can reach.

The Jiangdu Rebellion resulted in countless casualties, and how many Star Souls must have been lost...

The battle of Dugu Mansion had not lasted long, and the Blood Demon Map had already absorbed more than 10,000 star souls, and the number was increasing by dozens to hundreds every moment. Unfortunately, more than 90% of them were of the lower three grades, such as the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. There were only a few hundred star souls of minor gods and above.

Compared to Jiangdu Prison, the quality of the star souls obtained in this battle is indeed much worse!
"Sister Han! Lead the troops to support each battlefield and kill as many powerful and strong rebels as possible!"

After feeling the chaotic battlefield, Xiao Ying pondered for a moment and sent a message to Le Han. After a pause, he added:
"Don't worry! I won't be joining the battle again. Instead, I'll be collecting the food and supplies prepared by the Dugu Mansion and various forces, and then preparing to leave... and move!"

"Yes!" Le Han accepted the order readily and led his men to fight elsewhere.

Xiao Ying sought out Dugu Sheng, the leader of the Dugu clan, and transmitted his message, "Master Dugu, the rebels are powerful. If we hold on to this place for too long, we will lose it! I have a temporary storage treasure bestowed upon us by the ladies. Could you please take the food and fodder within the mansion, prepare to leave, and rush to Qiling Temple to join forces, so we can seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack?"

"This is...good!"

The leader of the Dugu clan hesitated for a moment and responded through gritted teeth.

There is no way. In the vast Dugu Mansion battlefield, except for the battlefield in front, the battle situation in other directions is not ideal.

More and more rebels poured into Dugu Mansion from all directions, like an endless tide, and all parties were in a state of emergency.

This was because Xiao Ying and others killed the rebel leader Yuwen Huaji and forced Yuwen Chengdu to retreat, leaving the rebels temporarily leaderless and their fighting spirit slightly dampened. Otherwise, the situation in the Dugu camp would have been even worse!
It was obvious that the Dugu camp was unable to hold on any longer, and the situation was just as Xiao Ying had said.

Anyway, the most precious things of the Dugu family have been taken away by the ancestor Dugu, or taken away by important figures. It’s okay to let Xiao Ying take the rest. It’s better than leaving them to the rebels!
"Please, Master Dugu, lead the way!" Xiao Ying asked quickly and without hesitation, so that he could lead the way and act accordingly.

"Please come in, Mr. Xiao!" Dugu Sheng gave a simple instruction and led the way readily.

The name Xiao Shao mainly comes from Empress Xiao, meaning Empress Xiao is the elder and Xiao Ying is the younger.

Before this battle, most people addressed Xiao Ying as Commander Xiao, followed by Special Envoy, Angel, General, Sir, etc. Only those close to him would call him "Young Master Xiao".

Now, with Xiao Ying and his group, more and more people call him "Mr. Xiao", which represents a kind of recognition and belonging!

"Please forgive me, Lord Dugu and all the other lords, I can enter alone!"

Soon, Dugu Sheng brought Xiao Ying to a large warehouse, which was full of more than 100,000 stones of grain and grass. Xiao Ying waved his hand politely.

Dugu Sheng and the people guarding the granary did not ask any further questions and just stayed outside the granary.

This is the advantage of having the Dugu clan leader lead the way. Otherwise, just convincing the guardian and entering alone would be a hassle!
Soon, food, weapons, medicinal materials, wealth and other supplies were taken away by Xiao Ying. The Dugu clan leader and his followers looked more and more strange, but their attitude became more and more respectful.

When troubled times come, what is the most important thing?
This ability and resources alone destined Xiao Ying to a promising future. As the head of one of the four major clans, Dugu Sheng knew exactly what he represented, and so he was even more polite, respectful, and sensible!
……

A few minutes later, Xiao Ying and the head of the Dugu clan returned to the center of the Dugu Mansion.

By this time, the deepest part of the battlefield had spread to the central area, and the iron-blooded murderous cloud had already spread over 70% to 80% of the vast Dugu Mansion, indicating that the entire Dugu Mansion was about to fall. This was because although the Dugu Mansion was mainly composed of independent soldiers, it had a large number of experts and powerful people, which allowed it to hold on tenaciously. Otherwise, it would have fallen long ago under the endless tide of rebels!
Even so, the Dugu camp suffered heavy casualties.

Xiao Ying didn't understand the specific situation, but in just a few minutes, the "Blood Demon Map" absorbed more than 50,000 star souls, more than half of which belonged to the rebels, but the Dugu camp also suffered heavy casualties, estimated to be more than 20,000, which was already a considerable number!

"Valve Master!"

"Your Majesty the Special Envoy!"

"General!"

Soon, Xiao Ying and Dugu Sheng summoned leaders from various forces and parties.

"The plan can't be changed. We will break out towards the Qiling Temple later! The Dugu clan will lead the way, and the various aristocratic families and gangs will provide support on both sides. I will lead the rearguard. What do you think?"

Xiao Ying didn't say anything polite or explain much, and went straight to the point with his suggestions.

"General, great justice!"

"Young Master Xiao is righteous!"

"I will obey Master Xiao's orders!"

In the brutal battle situation, no one was blind and they all agreed readily.

Everyone knows that the greatest pressure lies in leading the way and guarding the rear. Now that Dugu and Xiao Ying are in charge, what else can they protest, question, be dissatisfied or picky about?

"boom……"

Seeing that no one had any objections, Xiao Ying soared into the sky, and the star soul replaced it. A terrifying aura that overwhelmed the heaven and earth and was the supreme power in the world burst out.

"what?"

"Is this... the aura and momentum of a celestial being?"

"The breath of the Blood Buddha hypocrite? He's not dead?"

Countless people on both sides of the enemy were shocked. They didn't expect that after such a brutal and bloody battle, a new celestial being would appear.

Only the celestial beings such as Ancestor Dugu and Aunt Rong, a very small number of highly sensitive god-level powerful beings, could sense that there was something unusual about the aura.

"This battle is temporarily under my command, everyone obey my orders..."

Without waiting for everyone to think about it, Xiao Ying shouted out with all his strength, and with the blessing of the Heavenly Star Soul, the sound spread for dozens of miles and echoed throughout the heaven and earth!
This is an opportunity to temporarily determine the affiliation, gather people's hearts, and increase recognition!
"war!"

A roar that overwhelmed a thousand war drums arose, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, lingering in the ears of countless people on both sides of the enemy, echoing and echoing...

A thick blood mist enveloped Xiao Ying who was floating in the air, and a deep and mysterious blood light bloomed around Xiao Ying!

This is an anomaly caused by releasing too many star souls at one time.

Although there are more than 60,000 star souls, and more than 90% of them are of the lower three grades, they are still a new force, which is better than nothing!
Star Soul Possession is not and cannot be compulsory; it requires the target's willingness.

For those who do not accept the "external force", Xiao Ying will not say much or force them, and just let them wish them good luck!
