" Xue Beng Highness Avalanche, Prince Xue Xing, may I ask what brings you here in this turbulent night?" Ning Fengzhi, carrying the Sword Douluo Chen Xin, personally arrived to greet them.
Both Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing are members of the royal family. Now that Xue Ye is seriously ill in bed, why are they here instead of serving him?
Could it be that something has happened at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace?
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo Chen Xin had worked together for many years, and he could understand what the other was thinking with just a glance.
Prince Xue Xing's expression was extremely solemn. He said in a deep voice, "The Imperial Preceptor probably doesn't know yet, but it turns out that Xue Qinghe has already defected to the Spirit Hall. He was the one who poisoned my brother!"
"What?!" Ning Fengzhi was filled with astonishment and confusion. His disciple Xue Qinghe had always been gentle and refined, and of great importance. How could he have done such a heinous thing?
"Do you have any evidence?" Sword Douluo Chen Xin asked hurriedly.
"According to our intelligence, Xue Qinghe will be holding secret talks with the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall, intending to overthrow the entire Heaven Dou Empire."
Prince Xue Xing feigned urgency and said repeatedly, "If you two don't believe me, you can come with me and Xue Beng to the palace. We came out through a secret passage, from which we can directly access all parts of the palace and observe every move within."
The current situation in the palace is as complex as a maze, with various forces frantically maneuvering during the time when the Xue Ye was seriously ill in bed, among which the Spirit Hall is the main force.
Ning Fengzhi remained motionless. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Does Sect Master Ye know about this matter?"
" Sect Master Ye has reached a consensus with us. Xue Qinghe betrayed the country and is no longer worthy of being a true candidate for Crown Prince. After this matter is over, the only one left is Xue Beng."
As Prince Xue Xing spoke, his eyes were filled with helplessness. "It's just a pity for this child. He has been hiding himself so well all these years, otherwise he would have been secretly eliminated by Xue Qinghe long ago."
Whether the Xue Beng was intentional or unintentional, Ning Fengzhi, that old fox, could tell at a glance.
Now that he has learned that Ye Ping'an is also participating, Ning Fengzhi has no more worries.
To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Ning Fengzhi brought several disciples from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with him. Sword Douluo Chen Xin, holding the Seven Kill Sword, solemnly gazed at his surroundings.
The Strength Clan.
Countless Black-Cloaked Man roared through the sky as they descended. Anyone belonging to the Strength Clan was met with a single word: kill, without question!
For a time, the Strength Clan was thrown into chaos.
With six Spirit Ring lit up beneath his feet, Tai Nuo's body rapidly strengthened, transforming him into a human bulldozer, instantly eliminating the three Black-Cloaked Man.
"Who are you! How dare you invade my Strength Clan!"
Tai Nuo stomped on the ground, sending countless boulders and bricks flying. After dealing with another person, he immediately went to rescue his son.
Tai Long had recently been promoted to Soul Ancestor, greatly increasing his combat power. However, the number of Black-Cloaked Man was like locusts, and they had already overwhelmed the area.
The Strength Clan, consisting of over two hundred members, showed no fear in the face of an enemy several times their size.
The Great Ape Martial Soul roared to the sky, pounding its chest muscles as if a monstrous ape had descended.
Just then, a towering figure suddenly appeared, and his arrival truly put the Strength Clan at ease.
"Grandpa!" Tai Long was overjoyed.
"Dad, you've finally arrived!" Tai Nuo called all the remaining disciples to gather around Tai Tan.
" Tai Nuo, what are the casualties in the family?" Tai Tan's eyes turned red as he looked at the few remaining members of his family and the corpses of the Strength Clan and the Black-Cloaked Man lying on the ground.
"The casualties are heavy." Tai Nuo sighed deeply, his eyes filled with sorrow and anger.
"Who are you people! How dare you invade my Strength Clan!" Tai Long, unable to contain himself any longer, stepped forward and angrily accused them.
"Swish!" The leader of the Black-Cloaked Man unleashed a burst of sword energy, instantly revealing his Soul Douluo aura.
Tai Long's eyes widened; faced with the disparity in strength, he momentarily shrank back.
"Useless!" Tai Tan stood in front of Tai Long, turning back to curse angrily. Immediately, eight Spirit Ring lit up beneath his feet, and a golden Great Ape appeared.
"If you want to destroy my Strength Clan, you'll have to get past me, Old Tai Tan, first!"
Tai Tan charged forward, not forgetting to say before leaving, "Send someone to the Ye Clan for help. If Old Goat and the others know the current situation of my Strength Clan, they will surely come to our aid!"
"Yes!" Tai Nuo nodded immediately. He looked at Tai Long and said solemnly, "Go and get me reinforcements."
"No!" After his grandfather's angry rebuke, Tai Long's fighting spirit was completely ignited. He had already decided to live and die with the Strength Clan.
"Smack—"
"Get the hell out of here!"
The people of the Strength Clan are decisive in their actions. After Tai Nuo slapped Tai Long, the latter immediately nodded and, relying on the bloody path carved out by his disciples, hurried out to seek help from the Ye Clan.
"Don't chase him anymore, let him go get reinforcements."
A lithe figure stepped out from the group of Black-Cloaked Man. He moved with lightning speed, instantly sending Tai Tan flying.
The Tai Tan's chest was branded with countless claw marks, some so deep that the bone was visible, a truly horrifying sight.
"A Title Douluo... Titled Douluo!"
Tai Tan gasped several times; faced with the current situation, he was filled with despair.
"Does the heavens intend to destroy my Strength Clan?" Tai Tan roared to the sky, then issued a command with bloodshot eyes.
"Everyone, scatter and break through! Take as many as you can!"
The most important thing for a family is its inheritance. Tai Tan doesn't expect everyone to escape, but it's important to leave some bloodlines for the Strength Clan.
" Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar." Tai Tan's Seventh Soul Ring immediately lit up, and a giant, Great Ape appeared on the scene.
He dragged his massive body, his feet stomping on the ground, each step causing the Black-Cloaked Man to tremble and lose his balance.
"Go and deal with the Strength Clan. Don't let anyone escape."
After the black-clad Titled Douluo finished speaking, his Seventh Soul Ring lit up beneath his feet.
" Seventh Soul Skill, Ghost Leopard Avatar."
A giant black leopard appeared on the scene. It was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, many of the scattered members of the Strength Clan had already met their demise.
"Stop!" Tai Tan's eyes turned red, and he immediately rushed over, his huge fist smashing down like the end of the world.
But in the instant it landed, the Ghost Leopard disappeared, and instead used its two agile long legs to gain momentum from the back of the Great Ape.
Ghost Leopard suddenly darted out, weaving through the members of the Strength Clan. In an instant, heads flew everywhere, and more and more members of the Strength Clan died tragically.
The Strength Clan is engulfed in war, and this family, which was separated from the Clear Sky Sect, is now facing its end.
Carrying the heavy responsibility of his family, Tai Long ran through the darkness. Looking back at the raging fire of the Mighty Strength Clan, a tear welled up in his eye.
