Heaven Dou Empire Army Presses the Border, A Single Sword Once Held Off a Million Troops

Hua Mulan looked at Tang San, who had thrown a hidden weapon at her, and sneered.

"Cowering and hiding your head, just like a rat. What a pathetic trick."

Shao Siyuan now had the academy's people backing her, so she no longer had to pretend to be an expert. After hearing Hua Mulan's words, she cooperatively giggled.

In their eyes, hidden weapons were indeed nothing more than an unpresentable unorthodox path.

Dai Mubai's face was ashen. He no longer spoke up for Tang San, silently calculating how much weight his status as a prince of the Star Luo Empire carried.

But no matter how much he deceived himself, one bloody fact remained right before him: how could a nation with not a single powerful figure on the Golden Ranking possibly provoke a superpower with sixteen people already on it?

Hua Mulan's expression suddenly changed. Her perception, enhanced by her overwhelming Soul Power, clearly detected tens of thousands of people rushing toward Great Wall Academy.

"Siyuan, go back and tell the Dean!"

"No need. I've been here all along."

Su Han's figure appeared before Hua Mulan and Shao Siyuan, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

"Well done. Shao Siyuan's performance was much better than I expected."

"Hmph, naturally."

Xiao Wu had already run to Tang San's side and was whispering something to him.

Tang San merely kept shaking his head, his eyes brimming with tears.

"If you're planning to sacrifice yourself for him, he'll still die here. You've cultivated for a hundred thousand years, so how are you still such an idiot? Even if you sacrificed yourself for him, he'd only become a Soul Elder. What does a hundred-thousand-year soul ring even amount to?"

Su Han spoke. He truly could not understand this hundred-thousand-year-old beast, who had cultivated with such difficulty yet insisted on throwing away her life for a human.

"My lord, my lord!"

The instant Dai Mubai saw Su Han appear, he guessed that this was probably the peerless expert who had yet to appear on the ranking and was most likely number one on the Golden Ranking.

"My lord, I want to enroll in Great Wall Academy! My Innate Soul Power is level eight, I'm a prince of the Star Luo Empire, and I possess the top-tier White Tiger martial soul!"

Dai Mubai wailed at the top of his lungs. All he wanted now was to perform desperately well and stay alive.

"Boss Dai, how can you bow and scrape before your enemy like this?"

"I'll enemy your mother!"

Dai Mubai showed Tang San no mercy anymore. Tang Hao was already lying on the ground, barely alive. What a load of crap about being the Clear Sky Douluo—he was nothing but a complete idiot.

"How dare you insult my mother!"

Tang San had never seen his mother, but he had always regarded filial piety as sacred. At this moment, his eyes bulged with rage, and he looked ready to fight Dai Mubai to the death.

"Su Han, twenty thousand troops are coming from that direction, but they're all very weak."

"Mm. Go over there first and show them the might of Great Wall Academy. Kill to your heart's content."

Su Han knew that Hua Mulan had been itching for a fight every day because of his order to remain hidden.

The only people in the academy who could spar with her were Wu Zetian and Snow Empress. However, neither of them had an aggressive temperament, leaving Hua Mulan with no choice but to seek out Ying for one-on-one battles.

Now that a massive army was pressing against them, even a clay figure would have a temper, let alone Hua Mulan, a level 99 Limit Douluo of the Power Attack System.

"Good."

Hua Mulan's voice was brimming with suppressed excitement as she flew straight toward the Heaven Dou Empire's army.

Clear Sky Sect, beneath the mountain gate.

An elder Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall was wantonly cursing the ancestors of everyone in the Clear Sky Sect.

They usually held positions of power and authority. Which person who had reached the Titled Douluo realm had not been a genius in their youth?

The ferocity and arrogance of their younger days were fully exposed now. If they had not been somewhat afraid of the Clear Sky Hammer's fearsome reputation, they would have already led the charge to seize the first merit.

After all, given the difference in strength between Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect, no Soul Master on the entire continent believed that the Clear Sky Sect could win.

Of course, that excluded the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect.

Inside the mountain gate, Tang Xiao's expression was grim.

He had never imagined that immediately after the Clear Sky Sect announced its return to the world, Spirit Hall would send a massive army to besiege them. If he, Tang Xiao, failed to lead the sect out of the encirclement, he would become the greatest sinner in the Clear Sky Sect's history!

"Sect Master, let's go down and fight them!"

Second Elder Tang Ming's face was terribly grim. The severe injuries he had suffered from attacking the Golden Ranking continued to drain his condition. Feeling that he did not have much time left, he wanted to risk his life for the Clear Sky Sect one more time.

"No. We must hurry to contact the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. I refuse to believe Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen don't understand the principle that when one side falls, the other suffers!"

Tang Xiao spoke anxiously. Although the Clear Sky Sect's elders often disagreed with him, they were still his uncles. How could he stand by and watch Tang Ming throw his life away?

"The sect is sealed off right now. How are we supposed to contact the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"

Tang Ming hurriedly argued back.

In his view, the reason the Clear Sky Sect had ended up in this state was precisely because of their endurance and retreat in the past, which had caused the continent's powers to forget the might of the greatest sect under heaven!

"I'll break through the encirclement. No matter what, I have to establish our momentum!"

Tang Ming flew into the air, his severed legs revealing an air of desolation.

"The Heaven Dou Empire's imperial decree has arrived!"

At the foot of the mountain, several thousand flying horses came galloping over. Tang Xiao, Tang Ming, and the other elders, who all wore mournful expressions, froze in surprise.

Why would the Heaven Dou Empire come at a time like this? Although the Clear Sky Sect's mountain gate was located in the Heaven Dou Empire, before they had secluded themselves to cultivate, they had always supported the Star Luo Empire.

The Clear Sky Sect's foundations were also in Star Luo. Of the former four single-attribute clans, only the Strength Clan had ended up in Heaven Dou.

They could be said to have no connection with the Heaven Dou Empire whatsoever. What decree could the Heaven Dou Empire's emperor possibly be sending now?

"The Clear Sky Sect is a force within the territory of our Heaven Dou Empire. I absolutely will not permit Spirit Hall to stir up trouble here. I order Spirit Hall to withdraw its troops immediately!"

A Soul Douluo dressed as a military officer shouted Qian Renxue's order. The words left the several Titled Douluo elders of Spirit Hall rooted to the spot in confusion.

They already knew that Qian Renxue had successfully usurped the throne. In other words, the current emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe, was actually a member of Spirit Hall.

So what was going on now? They were being told to withdraw their troops, while the Heaven Dou Empire claimed it would shelter the Clear Sky Sect? What kind of joke was this?

Tang Xiao was stunned as well, then instantly overwhelmed with joy.

In their view, this was clearly the result of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect working together to make contact, prompting the Heaven Dou Empire to take the lead in ordering Spirit Hall to withdraw.

At this moment, inside Heaven Dou City, Qian Renxue sat on the imperial throne.

"Damn you, Bibi Dong! How dare you push my grandfather into a place of disgrace!"

Qian Renxue had completely discarded Xue Qinghe's facade. The people in the Heaven Dou Empire's Imperial Palace were all hers now, and her peerless face was filled with anger.

Her grandfather had once agreed with Tang Chen that Spirit Hall would not attack the Clear Sky Sect's mountain gate.

Yet Bibi Dong had violated the agreement and attacked the Clear Sky Sect. Wasn't she trying to make her grandfather appear both unkind and unrighteous?

Qian Renxue would never allow it!
