Demigod vs. Demigod!

Long live Her Your Majesty the Queen!

Suddenly, someone started it, and a thunderous cheer erupted, shaking the world!

The next second, whether they were Soul Master, soldiers, or generals, they all knelt down on one knee in unison, like waves of wheat, to show their obedience and loyalty to Xue Ke.

Even Xiao Chenyu, a titled Douluo, knelt down because Xue Ke was the wife of the Palace Master of Purple Micro Palace.

The only one who didn't kneel was Xue Shan, the most senior member of the royal family.

Faced with the deafening cheers, Xue Ke was half bewildered and half excited. She stood there blankly, her mind a complete blank, her face flushed, and her entire body trembling slightly.

She only commanded a campaign to quell a rebellion and made a small contribution, so how did she suddenly become Empress?

It should be noted that in the thousand years since the founding of the Heaven Dou Empire, there has never been a precedent of a woman becoming emperor.

Moreover, Xue Ke herself never intended to become empress. Her refusal to retreat under the battle flag was merely a moment of extreme grief and anger, a rash decision to send the army into the palace to kill Qian Renxue and avenge her father and brothers.

At this moment, seeing Xue Ke's bewildered expression, Ge Long, who was kneeling on one knee and leading the way in pledging loyalty, immediately became anxious.

Why is this girl so clueless?

With hundreds of thousands of soldiers shouting "Long live the Empress!", why don't you seize the opportunity, ascend the throne on the battlefield, and solidify your status Empress?

How can you just stand there like an idiot?

In his haste, Ge Long quickly stood up, bowed, and approached Xue Ke, whispering, "Your Highness, don't you want to be Empress? Why don't you quickly respond to the soldiers' demands?"

"However, there has never been a precedent in the empire for a princess to ascend the throne..."

Xue Ke hesitated for a moment, then replied softly.

"There's no 'buts' about it. Precedents are meant to be broken; these are all minor details, not worth mentioning."

Ge Long's expression turned solemn as he said in a deep voice, "Your Princess Hall, this old minister will ask you only one question: Do you wish to ascend the throne and become emperor?"

"This..."

Xue Ke was even more bewildered. Becoming Empress did sound wonderful, but she was neither mentally prepared to become emperor, nor did she have the corresponding knowledge, wisdom, or methods!

Seeing Xue Ke still hesitant, Ge Long stamped his foot and said with exasperation, "Your Highness, the direct bloodline of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family has been almost wiped out by the Spirit Hall, leaving only you as the sole heir. If you do not become emperor, who will lead the empire?"

"Furthermore, a country cannot be without a ruler for even a day. If the imperial throne is ever vacant, it will inevitably breed many ambitious individuals who covet the throne, and the entire empire will be plagued by rebellions and separatist movements! At that time, the empire will surely split apart, and hundreds of millions of ordinary people will be plunged into a chaotic world of mountains of corpses and seas of blood!"

Ge Long grew increasingly agitated as he spoke, almost shouting angrily, "Furthermore, the Spirit Hall will never let go of this golden opportunity presented by the empire's chaos. If they invade, how will the leaderless empire resist? Your Highness, how will you face the ancestors of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family then? How will you face His Majesty, who was killed by the Spirit Hall?"

"Your Princess Hall, this is not the time for you to hesitate! For the sake of the empire, hundreds of thousands of brave men have shed their blood in the palace. If you do not become Empress, how can you face the soldiers who fought so fiercely and never retreated?"

Although Ge Long's words were not loud, they were like a wake-up call to Xue Ke.

Yes, if she didn't ascend the throne and become empress, how could she face the fallen soldiers and the hundreds of millions of people in the empire?

Seeing that Xue Ke was showing signs of changing her mind, Ge Long quickly pressed his advantage, speaking gently, "Your Highness, this old minister knows that you are afraid you lack the ability to govern the empire, and that you are too young to command respect. However, Your Highness is not alone. You have this old minister, and hundreds of thousands of City Garrison who are loyal to you. Moreover, the Palace Master of Purple Micro Palace is your husband..."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ke's beautiful eyes immediately lit up.

Yes, with her husband's help, what difficulty is there in securing her position Empress?

With that thought, Xue Ke no longer hesitated. She raised her head and surveyed the overwhelming array of armored soldiers below, gently waved her hand, and said in a deep voice, "Rise."

As soon as Xue Ke spoke, Xue Shan used his Soul Power to amplify her voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Long live the Empire!"

The hundreds of thousands of soldiers rose in unison, banging their spears, swords, and shields. Almost every soldier was filled with excitement and exhilaration!

Hearing the overwhelming shouts, even though Xue Ke was a woman, she couldn't help but feel her blood boil.

She suddenly drew the longsword from the guard beside her, pointed it at the palace, and her clear, impassioned command resounded through the sky:

"Gentlemen, storm the palace and kill the traitors!"

"Smash the palace! Slay the traitors!"

The roars echoed throughout every corner of the army, their sound carrying for dozens of miles without ceasing. The soldiers, full of high morale, brandished their spears and swords, pouring into the palace from all directions like mercury spilling onto the ground!

At the same time.

Deep within the royal palace lies the Swan Palace.

On the ruins of the former Swan Palace, the female Soul Master of the Tian Xuan and Yao Guang Guard formed the Big Dipper Formation. Under the cover of Bi Ji and Zi JI, they desperately resisted the attacks of Qian Renxue, Snake Lance, and Porcupinefish Douluo.

As time went on, many of the more than three hundred female Soul Master had died or been injured, and the Big Dipper Formation was on the verge of collapse.

However, at that very moment, a resounding shout suddenly echoed from outside the palace, seemingly. "Long live Her Your Majesty the Queen!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue was immediately startled. She could no longer care about attacking the female Soul Master of the Purple Micro Palace. Instead, she forcibly flew into the sky and looked out of the palace!

Outside the palace, armored vehicles rolled and banners fluttered as hundreds of thousands of soldiers surged into the palace, while the remaining Soul Master of the Spirit Hall fled deeper into the palace.

As for Elder Tianfeng, Ye Xingyun, and other powerful figures from the Spirit Hall, they were nowhere to be found.

What Qian Renxue didn't know was that Elder Tianfeng and had already led his men to escape from Heaven Dou City.

What's most shameless is that this old guy was so focused on escaping that he didn't even bother to inform her, the young master of the Spirit Hall.

Sensing something was wrong, Snake Spear Douluo stopped his attack, leaving only Porcupinefish Douluo and several hundred Spirit Hall Soul Master disguised as Royal Guards to besiege the increasingly wounded female Soul Master.

"Young Master, how is it?"

Snake Spear Douluo hurriedly took to the air and asked.

Upon hearing Snake Spear Douluo's question, Qian Renxue's face immediately turned as cold as Ice Seal. She hurriedly said, "Quickly, She Shu, go outside the palace and gather our other five thousand Soul Master, along with the Seven Great Offerings, including my grandfather. Tell them to abandon their current enemy and launch a counterattack on the palace."

Upon hearing this, Snake Spear Douluo hesitated and asked, "What about our previous plan?"

Qian Renxue resolutely said, "We can't worry about that now. As long as we counterattack the palace, hold off the City Garrison, and kill Xue Ke, we still have a chance! I can ascend the throne as Xue Qinghe! Otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain."

Snake Spear Douluo nodded, immediately took flight, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Qian Renxue seemed to have suddenly lost all her strength. Her three pairs of wings drooped, and she swayed in mid-air, muttering, "I hope it's not too late."

It took Qian Renxue a while to regain some of her strength.

She looked down at the Porcupinefish Douluo who was leading his men to attack the female Soul Master. With a forced effort, she slowly unleashed the little Angel Soul Power she had left, spreading it over the Spirit Hall Soul Master below to amplify their Soul Power and heal their injuries.

A few minutes later, Snake Spear Douluo returned.

"She Shu, how is it?"

Qian Renxue asked impatiently.

Snake Spear Douluo She Long said with a livid face, "Our Spirit Hall's Soul Master are evenly matched with the Purple Micro Palace's side, and there's no way we can escape. Several of our Elders are also entangled with the Purple Micro Palace's Title Douluo, and the Grand Elder has even disappeared without a trace; he's not even in Heaven Dou City!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue staggered, the light in her eyes instantly dimmed, and her face turned deathly pale as she said, "The Spirit Hall's ten years of planning is all ruined now, a complete defeat!"

Seeing Qian Renxue's dejected appearance, Snake Spear Douluo She Long couldn't help but advise, "Young Master, the palace is still under our control. There are still over a thousand remaining Soul Master guarding the various palace gates. Although Sky Wind, Ye Xingyun, and the others are missing, they are probably still inside the city. We still have a chance!"

You're overthinking it.

Qian Renxue shook her head and said, "Ge Long's more than 100,000 City Garrison have already stormed in. Five thousand Soul Master couldn't stop them just now, how can a mere thousand or so remaining Soul Master possibly contend with an army that is currently at the peak of its power? Not to mention those shameless old bastards, Sky Wind and Ye Xingyun!"

She Long gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Young Master, why don't I give it a try and assassinate Xue Ke? My Serpent Snake Lance Martial Soul is extremely fast."

"It's too late."

Qian Renxue gave a bitter smile and said, "In this palace coup, we, the Spirit Hall, have lost."

Upon hearing this, She Long was shocked to realize that Qian Renxue was abandoning her palace coup plan!

In his anxiety, She Long blurted out, "Young Master, you've been infiltrating the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace for so many years, are we just going to slink away like this?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue took a deep breath, her heart filled with resentment and anger.

This is a decade of infiltration!

For the best ten years of her life, she lay low, using a special transformation technique every day to change her physical appearance and appear as a man.

How could she accept defeat so easily?

However, despite her resentment, Qian Renxue, though a woman, possessed the temperament of a powerful and ruthless leader.

She knew very well that, given the current situation, unless her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, suddenly appeared and went on a killing spree, it would be very difficult to turn the tide.

But Qian Daoliu hasn't appeared yet at this point, which means he must be being held back by some powerful figure.

She couldn't place all her hopes on her grandfather.

"She Shu, hesitation will only lead to more trouble. Pass on my order: all Soul Master of the Spirit Hall must leave Heaven Dou City immediately!"

With her teeth clenched, Qian Renxue gazed at the hundreds of thousands of City Garrison swarming in like ants, her frustration beyond words.

Seeing that Qian Renxue was determined to leave, She Long sighed and said in a low voice, "Young Master, how are we going to explain this to His Holiness the Pope when we get back?"

"No need to explain!"

Qian Renxue glanced coldly at She Long and said, "I will handle things with Bi Bi Dong myself; you don't need to worry about it."

"Besides, this battle has only just begun. What's the point if the enemy is so easily defeated?"

With a cold laugh, Qian Renxue's mind was filled with the image of a handsome young man.

The biggest reason for her failed palace coup was that she underestimated that young man!

The boy wasn't in Heaven Dou City, yet he still set up a trap and easily defeated her.

The boy's Zhi Xin are simply unfathomable!

Thinking of this, Qian Renxue suddenly turned around and shot off towards the outside of the palace!

Upon returning to the Spirit Hall, she will immediately begin the Angel Nine Trials, and settle the score at their next meeting...

The palace was too large. By the time the City Garrison stormed into the Swan Palace, Qian Renxue had already been gone for nearly half an hour.

However, while Qian Renxue, the Snake Lance, and the Porcupinefish Douluo could escape, the Spirit Hall Soul Master who hadn't yet reached the Soul Saint level could hardly run away.

Because the vast majority of them cannot fly.

The City Garrison had already sealed off all the palace gates. Under Xue Ke's series of orders, they began searching and purging the Spirit Hall's Soul Master within the palace, and killing Qian Renxue and her group.

"Did you still let Qian Renxue get away?"

Surrounded by the army, Xue Ke crossed the gates of the Swan Palace. Seeing only corpses scattered across the square and the female Soul Master of Tian Xuan and Yao Guang Guard, she immediately understood that the birdman had escaped.

"Sisters Bi Ji and Zi JI, thank you so much for your help. Otherwise, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family would have been wiped out."

Xue Ke approached Bi Ji and Zi JI, bowed deeply, and greeted them.

"Haha, you're welcome, we're all sisters in the harem."

Zi JI patted Xue Ke on the shoulder in a carefree manner and laughed.

Bi Ji, on the other hand, was much more elegant; she nodded slightly in response.

This scene, witnessed by the City Garrison guards and their officers, naturally made them somewhat uncomfortable. After all, Xue Ke was the Empress, and should be treated with even greater respect.

However, Bi Ji and Zi JI, being members of the Soul Beast Clan, didn't care about Xue Ke's identity.

Xue Ke smiled at her two sisters from the Soul Beast Clan, then looked at Zhi Xin, whose face was pale, and asked with concern, "Your injury..."

"Your Majesty Bi Ji has healed this humble subject."

Zhi Xin knelt on one knee and said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Rise, there's no need for us sisters to bow."

Xue Ke quickly helped Zhi Xin up and said magnanimously.

"Your Majesty, there are words here."

Just then, a soldier from the City Garrison discovered a line of large characters written in blood on the wall of the Swan Palace and immediately reported it to the new Your Majesty the Queen.

Xue Ke frowned, and surrounded by generals and Soul Master, walked to the palace wall, looking at the large blood-red characters on it:

"Xue Ke, you've won this time because of your man's scheme. We'll meet again."

The signature is a lifelike crimson angel design with three pairs of blood-red wings outstretched, seemingly declaring war on Xue Ke.

Upon reading this line, Xue Ke's face instantly became covered with a layer of angry frost.

Because of the Spirit Hall, the vast Heaven Dou Imperial Family is now reduced to just her as the sole direct heir. What kind of victory is that?

"Boom!!"

Just as Xue Ke's hatred was rising, a thunderous roar rolled in from the horizon!
