Unfortunately, Xu Tianran's Father Still Made a Mistake in That Coup

As Yin Hongye finished speaking, the two swords fell, and two arcs of light intersected and unfolded in the hall.

With a single sweep of the sword, the closest councilors fell to the ground before they could even scream.

He collapsed in a pool of blood.

The second sword strike was a vertical slash. The Shrek Academy representative sprang up from his chair and tried to run, but was caught by the sword light and cleaved in two, falling onto the long table.

"Trying to escape, you're undoubtedly from the Holy Spirit Cult," Yin Hongye said. "Don't worry, I'll give you time to escape, but whether you can actually get away is another matter."

Even at this point, Yin Hongye was still fishing.

See if there are any more messages, see if there are any more big fish.

The Tang Sect representative shrank back in his chair, his voice trembling. "I'm not a member of the Holy Spirit Cult! I haven't been brainwashed! I know nothing!"

"I don't care if you are or not." Yin Hongye didn't turn her head, the firelight like Vermilion Flame. With a backhand flick of her Avīci Sword, she lifted him out from behind the chair, the blade piercing his chest. "You killed the wrong person, so be it. Just hope you're reborn into a better life next time. If there is a next life..."

Chaos erupted in the hall. Some rushed towards the door, some crawled under the tables, and some drew their weapons in an attempt to fight back.

But apart from those who were already confirmed not to be infected, everyone else present was there.

There was only one Limit Douluo, Yin Hongye.

Yin Hongye's sword was too fast, so fast that no one could see how he drew it. They only saw a streak of green and a streak of red weaving back and forth in the hall, leaving blood splattered everywhere it passed.

Xu Tiankuo remained seated, motionless, watching the throng of heads roll by without any reaction.

A few drops of blood were splattered on the edge of the table in front of him, but he didn't even bother to glance at them.

"You..." A councilor lay in a pool of blood, struggling to look up at him, "Xu Tiankuo... it was you... it was you who set this up..."

Xu Tiankuo lowered his head and glanced at the man. "Someone has to take responsibility for this. I've known for a long time that there are members of the Holy Spirit Cult in the Parliament. You may not have enough strength, but you wield enough power, don't you?"

"Shrek City, two Level Twelve missiles, millions dead."

"Your deaths will bring this matter to a temporary close. I will reunite your families."

His voice was cold, devoid of any emotion.

They clearly already considered them a group of dead people.

As for the Spirit Pagoda, its foundation remains unshaken, so he cannot touch it for the time being.

The Federation's Soul Master still need them.

As for outside the Federation, this Spirit Pagoda actually dared to aid the enemy!

The Soul Master on the other two continents were sponsored by this Spirit Pagoda; without Soul Spirit, they would have wiped out Soul Beast long ago.

If there are no Soul Master left, the Federation can easily take it down without losing a single soldier.

When they are no longer useful, they can naturally be killed.

Xu Tiankuo raised his head again, his gaze returning to what was in front of him. The sounds in the hall grew fainter. He no longer looked at the blood on the ground, nor at the corpses.

There's nothing to see; dead people are all pretty much the same.

At this moment, there was no other voice in the Parliament.

Corpses lay strewn on both sides of the long table, blood flowing down the table legs and pooling into dark red puddles on the ground.

Only three people are still alive.

Xu Tiankuo, Yin Hongye, Mu Hongchen.

Mu Hongchen spoke first, "What do we do next? There's still the Spirit Pagoda. Although it's already been indirectly proven that this matter is related to Qian Gu Dongfeng, we still can't destroy the Spirit Pagoda."

"The problems with the Ascension Platform and Artificial Soul Spirit are still unresolved. They can't mass-produce Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit, and neither can we. Even if we seize them, it won't help. I've tried the Ascension Platform; we can't replicate it. We can't build it."

Yin Hongye walked to the other end of the long table and found a relatively clean chair to sit down.

"Forget about the Ascension Platform for now. That's not something you can build with technology alone. We don't have the materials."

"What about the Soul Spirit?" Xu Tiankuo asked.

"It's not impossible to overcome the Soul Spirit with all our might," Yin Hongye leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes briefly. "However, I think it would be unnecessary. Let's check the latest research from the Spirit Pagoda first."

He genuinely harbored the idea of destroying the entire Spirit Pagoda.

His foundation is the Soul Spirit.

The foundation of Soul Spirit is its Soul Ring.

Why not just abolish the entire Soul Ring system?

Mu Hongchen was silent for two seconds, then nodded. Indeed, several technologies were difficult to overcome, after all, this Soul Spirit was developed by another world's system based on the Soul Ring system.

Xu Tiankuo remained seated, not participating in the discussion. The Federation needed the Spirit Pagoda, so they couldn't afford to touch it.

He walked to the door, opened it, and said, "Let's go, we can discuss this later."

In the corridor outside the door, Qian Renxue Di Qiuer stood by the wall. Di Qiuer glanced inside and saw the blood all over the floor and the corpses lying haphazardly, and she froze.

They were so ruthless; not a single one was spared.

You can even have a peaceful meeting inside!

Qian Renxue showed no expression, but simply turned her head to look at Yin Hongye.

"They made their move so quickly?"

Yin Hongye stood up from her chair, stretched her neck, and smiled, "A coup. Whoever acts first gains the upper hand. Whoever is stronger wins."

Qian Renxue glanced at him, feeling that he was alluding to her.

No one understood the failure of a coup better than her.

The Heaven Dou Palace Coup was caused by her being too slow to act.

That night, she could have won. She was Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, the closest to the throne, holding poison in her hand, watching Xue Ye cough away day by day. She personally sent the Second Prince and the Third Prince to their deaths.

Once that cup of wine is drunk, the Heaven Dou Empire will belong to the Spirit Hall.

Blood Blade.

Unfortunately, she couldn't bring herself to be ruthless, and her Heaven Dou Palace Coup in complete failure.

Yin Hongye and her companions left the Parliament building. The night wind blew in from outside, making their clothes flutter loudly.

Xu Tiankuo walked at the front, beaming with pride.

Outside the Heavenly Screen, during the era of the Unrivaled Tang Clan.

In the imperial court of the Sun Moon Empire, Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen exchanged a glance, neither saying much. They had seen plenty of coups. The Sun Moon Empire had experienced three coups in twenty years; they were used to it.

They glanced at the Heavenly Screen before turning their attention back to their research on Soul Tool.

But they will later find out that there is still a traitor alive.

Moreover, he lives within the Shrek Academy.

Meanwhile, on the Star Luo Empire's side, Xu Jiawei sat on the dragon throne, his fingers lightly tapping the armrests.

After Shrek City was bombed, he suddenly realized that the Duke White Tiger beside him was more worthy of his attention than Shrek Academy. A powerful and deeply entrenched old nobleman who could potentially restore his rule in the future.

Although he was an emperor who fled, it doesn't mean that his ministers were without ulterior motives.

Stepping out of the Parliament hall, a night breeze blew, and Qian Renxue finally blurted out the question she had been holding back for so long, "Aren't you afraid that others will object to your coup?"

"Don't worry." Yin Hongye walked ahead, his tone casual. "His family is experienced. And anyone who dared to disobey has been killed by us."

Qian Renxue paused, "What do you mean by 'experienced'?"

Mu Hongchen answered for Yin Hongye: "Xu Tiankuo is a descendant of the Sun Moon Imperial Family. The Sun Moon Empire's methods—coups, purges, changing emperors—are their ancestral skills. However, they disappeared after Ling Bing Douluo. Nevertheless, it is still a family tradition, passed down through generations."

"And Xu Tianran's father made a big mistake that time," Yin Hongye said with a smile. "When Xu Tianran's father rebelled, he forgot about one person."
