Heaven Dou's Fall
In the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi consolidated all the sect's businesses in the Heaven Dou Empire, gathered all the Soul Master, and made preparations to evacuate at any time.
"Feng Zhi, are we really leaving the Heaven Dou Empire?"
"Sword Uncle, we have no choice but to leave. Tang San has led Sea God Island to retreat, and we are no match for the Spirit Hall on our own."
The Suo Family and the Li Family have already contacted me. Along with the Breaking Clan and the Defense Clan, we will leave together and start anew in the Star Luo Empire.
The Spirit Hall is only temporarily preoccupied because Qian Daoliu is unconscious. Once he wakes up, the Heaven Dou Empire will collapse at the first touch and will not be able to hold out for long.
At least the Star Crown Sect still exists in the Star Luo Empire. In this life-or-death moment, they don't care about being swallowed up; passing on their sect or family is the real priority.
Meanwhile, Qian Daoliu, Ning Fengzhi had always been wary of, regained consciousness thanks to the healing remedies treasured by the Spirit Hall.
"Grandpa, you're finally awake! You scared me to death."
"Xiao Xue? Grandpa is alright. How's the war going?"
With Qian Renxue's help, Qian Daoliu slowly sat up. He looked at the Titled Douluo standing around him and felt a chill in his heart.
Why are there so few people? Where are Azure Luan, Xiong Shi, and Guang Ling? Where did they go?
"Golden Crocodile, tell me, what was the outcome of the war?"
Looking at the weakened Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo hesitated to speak. He couldn't do anything about the defeat in the Star Luo Battlefield; it was simply a matter of difference in strength.
But since he was the commander-in-chief on that side, he had to bear the main responsibility for the capture of Azure Luan Douluo and his two companions, and the deaths of numerous Soul Masters.
"Grand Elder, Azure Luan and the others have fallen into the hands of the Star Crown Sect."
Sure enough, Qian Daoliu clenched his fists, closed his eyes in anguish, and tears silently streamed down his face. How could he not be heartbroken when the fate of his companion, with whom he had spent decades or even centuries, remained unknown?
After a long while, Qian Daoliu accepted the fact, opened his eyes, his golden pupils burning with anger as he stared straight at the Golden Crocodile.
"Tell me, I need to know what exactly happened. With the strength of the Star Crown Sect, how could you have failed?"
Qian Daoliu had estimated the overall combat strength of the Star Luo Empire before arranging this lineup.
It was something Golden Crocodile never expected that he wouldn't be able to suppress the Star Luo Empire, a faction that didn't even have a Level 98 Titled Douluo.
"Grand Elder, we underestimated the overall strength of the Star Crown Sect. The strength of Star Douluo is definitely not below mine."
Golden Crocodile Douluo recounted the events that unfolded on the battlefield. With each sentence he spoke, Qian Daoliu's face darkened further, and the murderous intent filling the room grew increasingly intense.
"What a fine Star Crown Sect! This matter is my fault; I underestimated them."
"Golden Crocodile, go and gather men now. Once I recover from my injuries, I will personally storm Starfall Mountain and rescue Azure Luan Douluo and the others."
"Grand Elder, I'm afraid we need to consider this further."
Golden Crocodile took out a letter from his pocket, hesitated for a moment, and then handed it to Qian Daoliu. This was a letter that the Star Crown Sect had specially sent after the war.
The content above is extensive, mostly consisting of empty pleasantries and greetings; the only useful information is a single point.
If the Spirit Hall dares to send people to attack the Star Luo Empire, they will immediately kill Azure Luan Douluo and the other two. They mean what they say.
If the Spirit Hall has any objections, the Star Crown Sect welcomes Qian Daoliu to come to Starfall Mountain for negotiations in person, and they will treat him with the utmost sincerity.
Tear~
The letter was torn in two, Angel Holy Fire burned it, turning it completely to ashes, leaving no trace of its existence.
Almost blinded by rage, Qian Daoliu forced himself to calm down and looked sharply at Golden Crocodile Douluo.
"Are you sure that Azure Luan Douluo and the other two are still alive?"
"I sensed that they were all still alive when I retreated. If the Star Crown Sect wants to keep us occupied, they shouldn't let them die so easily."
"Alright, go and tell them that I will personally visit them a month from now. I must see all three of them standing alive before me."
"Yes."
After resolving the matters concerning Azure Luan and the other two, Qian Daoliu finally had time to look at Qian Renxue. When he was away, she had been handling most of the affairs of the Spirit Hall.
"Xiao Xue, how is the Spirit Hall doing?"
"This is bad, very bad. More than half of the various Soul Master legions have been lost, and only three titled warriors have been withdrawn from the Star Luo Empire's battlefield."
Bibi Dong's act of resurrecting fallen soldiers on the battlefield also aroused the disgust of many Soul Masters; only the remaining Soul Master from the New Seven Great Sects remained by her side.
"Is that so? I never imagined that my Spirit Hall, my Angel Qian Family, would one day have to rely on such evil power to achieve victory. I am truly ashamed before my ancestors."
What's the situation on Sea God Island? Have they led the Heaven Dou Empire to invade Spirit City?
"No, Tang San has already led the Soul Master of Sea God Island back overseas, and it seems that he does not want to fight us in the short term."
According to Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others' speculation, Tang Chen must be experiencing a health problem and cannot act rashly.
Qian Daoliu remained silent for a long time, it was unclear whether he was reminiscing about his past with Bo Saixi or recalling his fierce battle with Tang Chen.
He didn't know how much time had passed before he came to his senses and walked to the window alone, looking at the prosperous scene of Spirit City outside.
"Xiao Xue, go and prepare. We will conquer the entire Heaven Dou Empire."
"Yes."
Now that the Spirit Hall's branch halls in major cities across the continent no longer exist, it means that they have very few resources left to acquire.
To maintain a large-scale Soul Master army, relying solely on a single Spirit City is simply not enough.
When they couldn't conquer the Star Luo Empire, the only way for them to alleviate their immense pressure was to occupy the Heaven Dou Empire.
Half a month later, Qian Daoliu's injuries had basically recovered. He put on golden armor, held the Angel Holy Sword, and personally took on the role of war commander.
Led by Golden Crocodile, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Qian Jun Jiang Mo Douluo, each leading a legion of Soul Master, they marched in a mighty procession toward the Heaven Dou Empire.
Their attack met with virtually no effective resistance. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Suo Family, the Li Family, and almost all the major families and sects of the Heaven Dou Empire chose to relocate, transferring their entire base to the Star Luo Empire.
Having lost Sea God Island and its associated power, the Heaven Dou Empire was no match for the Spirit Hall and was easily defeated when it stormed into Heaven Dou City.
Marshal Ge Long fought desperately, but in the end, Qian Daoliu, seeing him as a true man, personally ended his life with the Angel Holy Sword.
The moment Heaven Dou City fell, Xue Beng chose to surrender, marking the complete demise of an empire that had lasted for thousands of years, a truly lamentable end.
