On the other side of the Star Dou Forest,
Heaven Dou Empire,
Jialing Pass, a last hurdle toward the Heaven Dou Empire; if Spirit Hall passes through this hurdle, it will truly unify the Douluo Continent.
A large wormhole appeared in the void.
Xiao Yi walked outside the wormhole along with Xiao Mi. Both of them noticed soldiers of Spirit Hall and Heaven Dou killing each other, and the whole Jialan Pass was filled with war and chaos.
At the same time, soldiers and other main figures like the emperor of the Heaven Dou, Shrek members were surprised to notice Xiao Yi and Xiao Mi's arrival.
"It's Xiao Yi,"
Instantly Master, Liu Erlong and Flander exclaimed, looking at him,
Xiao Yi turned and glanced in their direction and nodded, then he flew and appeared in front of them along with Xiao Mi.
"Are you also going to participate in this war?"
Master asked with a thoughtful expression on his face, seeing both of them appear in front of him,
Xiao Yi shook his head and replied, "We won't participate in the war, as we don't have any enmity with Spirit Hall."
Instantly a surprise flashed through Liu Erlong's and others eyes.
Xiao Yi glanced at their surprised expression and added,
"Also, I don't want Spirit Hall to be destroyed,"
Instantly, Master, Flander, and other people's faces changed; even the fourth prince Xue Beng's expression sank. A complete silence shrouded everything around.
After a little silence, Master Lips quivered a little looking at Xiao Yi, and then he asked calmly, "Why?"
Others beside him also glanced at Xiao Yi, waiting for his answer. They completely lost hope after hearing Xiao Yi's words. They knew what kind of monster he was. If he wanted to help the spirit hall, then this war would tilt in the spirit hall's favor in no time.
Xiao Yi raised his brow, looking at their curious yet extremely disturbed emotions on their faces.
"Spirit Hall is the ray of hope for commoners on this Douluo continent; it awakens the martial spirit of a normal villager in any corner of the continent for free and also provides subsidies. They don't look down on commoners even if they awaken a useless martial spirit. As for why I want to save the Spirit Hall, the main reason is that my family also belongs to commoners."
Xiao Yi spoke calmly, and then he turned and glanced at the fourth prince and then asked,
"What has your Heaven Dou Empire done for the commoners all these years? The academy you opened only admits noble children; the privileges are for nobles only, let alone giving subsidies. You exploit commoners wealth, and the so-called nobles and their children in your empire treat the commoners like slaves."
Instantly the master, Flander, and Liu Erlong fell silent. Xue Beng's face changed; he wanted to say something, and then he fell silent.
"Although the empire didn't offer these benefits, it still protected the commoners and gave them a community where they could live in peace and prosperity."
At this moment, Master spoke in favor of the Heaven Dou Empire with a deep look on his face.
Xiao Yi glanced at him and then shook his head and asked calmly,
"What kind of protection, peace, and prosperity are you talking about? All of this is just an illusion created by top clans and empires on the continent. You have divided the land under your feet into parts and are showing the commoners living in these parts that you are protecting them from each other. If this continent were unified, then all of the commoners would be one, and there wouldn't be any need of protection, peace, and prosperity, as all of it inevitably comes with unification."
After speaking, a gust of wind flowed from behind, flickering everyone's robes and hair.
Xiao Yi turned around and glanced at the direction of the martial hall army. At this time, Bibi Dong appeared with other important figures of the Martial Spirit Hall behind her.
Xiao Mi and others also turned around and glanced at the direction of the martial spirit army; they were also surprised by the sudden appearance of Bibi Dong and other title douluo figures.
'Interesting, she had become a god ahead of time; probably it is the plot inertia or maybe something else,'
Xiao Yi thought, intriguingly looking at the divine aura around Bibi Dong and the invisible black and purple divine ring behind her.
Bibi Dong also noticed Xiao Yi and Xiao Mi's existence, and then her expression became cold looking at Xiao Yi, and she flew toward him while speaking, "Are you also willing to go against my spirit empire?"
Xiao Yi raised his brow and then shook his head and replied, "I am not against your unification of the continent, but your way of conduct is wrong; you are destroying rather than conquering."
After speaking, Xiao Yi paused and then smiled, shaking his head, and added, "Anyway, I shouldn't care about that, as I also destroyed countless lives."
Bibi Dong's brow furrowed, and then she replied, "If you are speaking about those soul masters who didn't surrender to the spirit empire, indeed I destroyed them and used them in other ways; it was their destiny, as everything is fair in love and war."
As she spoke, her gaze unconsciously swept toward Grandmaster.
Next moment, her eyes turned icy, and a massive scythe materialized in her hand, exuding divine suppression, dark as night, with a faint blood-red glow, like a weapon birthed from the deepest depths of the underworld.
'The artifact of Rakshasa,'
Xiao Yi thought to himself, looking at the scythe, and then shook his head and replied, looking at her,
"You are wrong; everything is fair in front of power. If you have power, you can almost do anything, including initiating love and war."
