The palace square was shattered by Tang Hao using the Clear Sky Hammer, leaving it in ruins.
In the center of the square, the originally smooth marble floor was now filled with cracks and depressions.
Surrounding the square, several majestic palace buildings and pavilions had collapsed under the force of that single strike, reduced to rubble.
But fortunately, it was all over.
Qian Renxue had finally fulfilled her long-held wish and successfully took over the Heaven Dou Empire.
Moreover, today she had killed Tang Hao and the two elders of the Clear Sky Sect, dealt a heavy blow to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and delivered a devastating strike to Shrek Academy.
It could be said that she had reaped great rewards.
Afterward, Golden Crocodile Douluo and Lion Douluo left, while Demon Subduing, Thousand Jun, Devil Bear, Ghost Leopard, Porcupinefish, and Snake Lance Douluo stayed temporarily in Heaven Dou City to protect Qian Renxue.
The thousands of soul masters brought by the Spirit Hall also remained, ready to be dispatched by Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue was not in a hurry to ascend to the throne using her real identity. After all, Emperor Xue Ye had just passed away, and the palace had erupted in an unprecedented battle.
She wanted to wait until the palace was repaired before assuming the throne as Xue Qinghe. After successfully passing through the transitional phase and completely gaining control of the empire, she would then reveal her true identity, making it easier for the people to accept her.
With Emperor Xue Ye dead, the Fourth Prince Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing, who had been secretly contending with Xue Qinghe, had no choice but to flee the Heaven Dou Empire.
Behind Xue Qinghe was the powerful force of the Spirit Hall, and they had no ability to resist.
Moreover, Qian Renxue would not let them off easily.
Any force that opposed her or refused to submit would be ruthlessly eradicated.
Soon after, Qian Renxue issued a decree, announcing to the world that the death of Emperor Xue Ye was the fault of Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Tang San of the Clear Sky Sect. She expelled both sects from the Heaven Dou Empire.
After this great battle, Yue Guan and Gui Mei prepared to return to Spirit Hall to report to Bibi Dong.
Once again, they had failed to capture Xiao Wu, who had escaped.
However, they had played a crucial role in the killing of Tang Hao.
Moreover, Yue Guan had personally killed one of the Clear Sky Sect's titled Douluo-level elders.
This might not be of great importance to Pope Bibi Dong, but for Spirit Hall and Qian Renxue, it was a significant contribution.
Yan personally escorted the two elders out of Heaven Dou City.
After this battle, the two elders knew that Yan was still a member of Spirit Hall but could no longer serve Bibi Dong.
Fortunately, Yan had gained the approval of Qian Renxue and Golden Crocodile Douluo, and his performance in this battle would soon be known throughout Spirit City.
When Bibi Dong found out, she would not dare to openly take revenge on Yan, as she still feared the influence of Qian Daoliu behind Qian Renxue.
As they were about to part ways, Yue Guan showed some reluctance, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.
"Yan, go back. Protect the young miss and stay safe."
"Teacher, Ghost Elder, I have something for you."
"What?"
"Of course, it's a good thing."
Yan said as he took out two soul bones from his soul tool.
Gui Mei was somewhat surprised.
"Soul bones! Where did you get these from?"
Looking at the two soul bones Yan had taken out, one was a right leg soul bone, and the other was a right arm soul bone.
They both seemed to be of good quality, with an age of over 30,000 years.
Yue Guan could not help but ask, "Yan, where did these soul bones come from?"
"They were taken from Tang Hao."
The two elders exchanged shocked looks.
"Tang Hao was already completely consumed by your phantom fire. How are the soul bones still intact?"
Yan smiled faintly and explained, "Before devouring him, I used the Blazing Light Blade to dismember him and took these two soul bones."
"I see. You must have known he had these soul bones all along?"
"Yes."
Yan nodded, then handed the two soul bones to Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
"Teacher, this right leg bone should suit you well."
"Ghost Elder, this right arm bone is for you."
Yan knew that the right leg bone had the skill Thunderclap, which would help Yue Guan improve his speed and attack power.
The right arm bone had the skill Myriad Forms, which would help the user to be more flexible and change tactics in battle, making it ideal for Gui Mei, who used deceptive attack methods.
Yan had obtained six soul bones from Tang Hao, and no one knew about it except for him.
But because of the two elders' joint use of the Stasis Domain, they had been able to successfully kill Tang Hao. These two soul bones were rightfully theirs.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei accepted the two soul bones, both greatly pleased.
They had once been defeated by Tang Hao, but now, not only had they joined forces to kill him, but they also had the soul bones that had fallen from him, a complete revenge.
Suddenly, Gui Mei seemed to remember something.
"Yan, how did your sixth soul ring also become a 100,000-year one?"
"Ghost Elder, my sixth soul ring came from the core of the ancient soul beast, the Ten-Headed Fierce Serpent. It originally had near 100,000 years of cultivation, and after absorbing some external soul power and devouring an Evil Fire Phoenix, it underwent a metamorphosis into a 100,000-year ring."
"I see. If I'm not mistaken, your soul power should now be above level 85?"
"Yes. I just broke through to level 89 today."
"Level 89?!"
Both Yue Guan and Ghost Shadow were stunned.
Yan's soul power had increased too quickly, far beyond their expectations.
In today's battle, Yan had devoured the fire-attributed Liu Erlong, which not only caused his soul ring to undergo a metamorphosis but also increased his soul power.
Of course, Tang Hao had also contributed to this increase.
Yue Guan smiled, "Yan, I didn't expect you to be so close to becoming a Title Douluo. Maybe in a few years, even the Pope won't be able to threaten you."
"Teacher, you and Ghost Elder must be careful around the Pope, and always be ready to return to the Qian family."
"Don't worry. We'll be careful."
Yan knew that the two elders still couldn't betray Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong was currently in a position of power, and even though the two elders had failed to capture Xiao Wu, she probably wouldn't punish them.
However, Bibi Dong's temper was unpredictable, and who knew what crazy things she might do in the future.
So, they needed to stay vigilant.
After sending the two elders off, Yan returned to the palace and began cleaning up the aftermath with Qian Renxue.
Indeed, after the upheaval in Heaven Dou Palace, Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing had disappeared.
However, they were no longer a threat, and Qian Renxue did not even bother to worry about them.
Tang San and the others had escaped to the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.
During the upheaval in Heaven Dou Palace, the Clear Sky Sect had lost Tang Hao and two elders, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had lost nearly two thousand disciples, and Yu Xiaogang had lost his beloved Liu Erlong.
They were all despondent, their faces ashen.
Among the crowd, an angry voice suddenly rose.
"We should never have listened to the lies of those two father and son, bringing the Clear Sky Sect down the mountain! Now, with the death of the Emperor Xue ye, the promises they made are empty, and we've lost two elders and dozens of disciples for nothing!"
"We mobilized our troops and traveled a thousand miles to Heaven Dou City, not to enjoy ourselves, but to die!"
"Are we supposed to go back to the mountains now? What's the point of all this back-and-forth?!"
Tang San, who was lost in sorrow over the loss of his father, heard these angry accusations and felt even more heartbroken.
But he could not refute them.
Everything was because of him. Like his father, he had become the great sinner of the sect.
Originally, he had wanted to help the sect recover and bring it glory and wealth.
But he had underestimated Xue Qinghe and didn't expect the huge backing of the Spirit Hall behind him.
At this moment, he finally understood his father's pain and guilt, which would accompany him for the rest of his life.
The person he had wanted to kill, Yan, had killed his most respected and dependent father.
This time, he had lost completely, utterly, and thoroughly.
"Enough! Tang Hao and Xiao San's original intention was also to revive the Clear Sky Sect. Are you going to hide in the mountains for the rest of your lives?! If it weren't for Tang Hao fighting to the death, we wouldn't have made it out alive. The decision to bring Clear Sky Sect down the mountain was mine. No matter what, I will share the responsibility with them!"
Tang Xiao's roar left the others speechless.
Then, Tang Xiao came to Tang San's side, patted his shoulder gently, and said earnestly:
"Xiao San, pull yourself together. This is not your fault. No one could have foreseen such an accident. If your father were still alive, he wouldn't want to see you like this."
"Yes, Uncle, I'm fine."
Tang San gritted his teeth, clenched his fists.
He knew that his father had six soul bones, and those soul bones might have been devoured by Yan's black gold flmes.
In his heart, he silently vowed to make Yan and the Spirit Hall pay a far heavier price for what they had done today.
"Sect Master, there is no place for us in the Heaven Dou Empire anymore. What should we do next?"
One of the Clear Sky Sect disciples asked.
Yu Xiaogang suddenly stood up and said:
"We can go to the Star Luo Empire. The crown prince of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Mubai, was once a member of our Shrek Academy and has always had a good relationship with Xiao San. He will help us."
Yu Xiaogang quickly pulled himself out of the sadness of losing Liu Erlong. He knew he had to remain clear-headed and rational, turning his sorrow into strength.
Ning Fengzhi also stood up and said:
"After the change in the Heaven dou Palace, Xue Qinghe will become a puppet of Spirit Hall. The Heaven dou Empire under his control will also fall under the rule of Spirit Hall. Therefore, the Star Luo Empire will surely strengthen its defenses. I believe the Star Luo royal family will also need us."
Upon hearing their suggestions, everyone began to discuss.
An elder of the Clear Sky Sect expressed his concern:
"We were all once people of the Tiandou Empire, and we just had a fierce battle with Spirit Hall. I'm not sure if the Star Luo Emperor has the courage to accept us."
Tang San, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up.
"Dai Mubai is my good brother. He has long expressed interest in recruiting me. He will be the next Star Luo Emperor, and if I and the teacher personally go, he will definitely help us."
Tang San had once heard Dai Mubai say that the Star Luo Emperor was quite powerful, a titled Douluo-level powerhouse.
The strength of the Star Luo Empire wasn't just in the personal abilities of its emperor, but also in its imperial cultivation system.
Through the brutal competition among princes, each generation's emperor had to be extraordinarily gifted, ruthless, and mentally strong, ensuring the empire's power and stability.
Originally, the overall strength of the Star Luo Empire was superior to the Heaven dou Empire, but in recent years, due to internal division and the restraint from Spirit Hall, its national power had gradually weakened.
Tang Xiao nodded in agreement with Tang San's suggestion.
"Xiao San, you and the teacher go, and be careful on the way. We are waiting for your good news."
Ning Rongrong quickly said:
"Dad, I'll go with Third Brother."
Ning Fengzhi nodded and looked towards Bone Douluo.
"Uncle Bone, you and Rongrong go together."
"Okay."
Then, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Yu Xiaogang, Flender, Ning Rongrong, and Bone Douluo set off for Star Luo Empire's capital, Star Luo City, to seek Dai Mubai's help.
In the Pope's Palace.
By the time Yue Guan and Gui Mei returned to Spirit City, the news that Qian Renxue had successfully taken control of the Heaven dou Empire had already reached Spirit City.
This shocked and enraged Bibi Dong.
Qian Daoliu had secretly dispatched four Worship, two elders, and thousands of soul masters to assist Qian Renxue in the coup of the Heaven dou Palace.
It was only after they had left Spirit City that Bibi Dong learned of this matter.
They had completed the task without any difficulty.
Qian Renxue had taken control of the Heaven dou Empire, and Bibi Dong's position in Spirit Hall was now facing a severe challenge.
Next, Qian Renxue would continue to expand her power, slowly absorbing the Star Luo Empire, until she unified the entire Douluo Continent.
This was the one thing Bibi Dong did not want to see.
For years, all her efforts had been aimed at taking control of Spirit Hall and completely destroying the Qian family, annihilating Spirit Hall.
Qian Renxue's rise to power had disrupted Bibi Dong's plans.
Bibi Dong knew that the Heaven dou Empire had experienced a palace change, but she didn't know the details of how it had happened.
Listening to Gui Mei's report, Bibi Dong's face gradually became darker.
"You two are really useless, waste! You let that rabbit escape again! You've been in Heaven dou City for so long, and you didn't bring back any useful information?!"
"Your Majesty, Liu Erlong, Tang Hao, and two Title Douluo-level elders from Clear Sky Sect died in that battle."
"Liu Erlong that bitch is dead?! What about Yu Xiaogang?"
"He escaped with Tang San and the others."
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Bibi Dong's face, and she thought to herself: "Xiao Gang, Xiao Gang, losing Liu Erlong, you must feel that living is worse than dying, right? Hehe~~"
"I really didn't expect it, the mighty Tang Hao is also dead. How did he die?"
"Your Majesty, Tang Hao was trapped by me and Yue Guan in the Stillness Domain, and it was Yan who gave him the fatal blow."
"What?! Yan appeared?!"
Bibi Dong's brow furrowed, clearly surprised.
"Yes, Liu Erlong was also killed by Yan."
"Is that so?! Is he really that powerful? What exactly happened? You two, explain in detail."
Then, Yue Guan and Gui Mei recounted everything that had happened.
After hearing this, Bibi Dong's face turned green with rage.
"Good, Yan! You really betrayed me, you dare take the Titan Giant Ape's 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone!"
