Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Golden Hall.

A thick, bloody stench slowly permeated the vast hall. The setting sun spilled through the shattered glass windows, staining the entire throne a deep, blood-red.

Qian Sha Yu lounged carelessly against the gold-lacquered dragon throne, which symbolized the supreme power of the Heaven Dou Empire.

His long, slender legs were draped over the edge of the desk in an incredibly arrogant manner.

In one hand, he held a silk cloth, wiping his Slaughter Blood Sword with an air of extreme nonchalance.

Beside the dragon throne, on the cold floor, a graceful figure was tightly bound by several thick, blood-colored chains.

Tang Yuehua was covered in bloody lacerations, her originally noble and elegant silver-white palace attire already tattered beyond recognition.

Her three thousand strands of dark hair were plastered messily against her pale cheeks.

She lay limp beside the dragon throne, her eyes hollow.

Her delicate body trembled uncontrollably from extreme fear and humiliation, like a canary imprisoned at the feet of a great demon king.

"Step, step, step..."

A series of heavy footsteps broke the deathly silence of the hall.

Snake Spear Douluo She Long and Porcupinefish Douluo Ci Xue stepped into the hall side by side.

Behind them, several black-clad secret guards of Spirit Hall were dragging two blood-stained figures along the ground like dead dogs.

"Young Master, your subordinates have not failed our mission!"

She Long and Ci Xue cupped their fists and knelt down with a thud.

When their peripheral vision inadvertently caught sight of Tang Yuehua, chained like a dog beside the dragon throne, their eyelids twitched violently!

Both men gasped, a chill running down their spines!

How could the Young Master keep a woman chained like a pet next to the dragon throne?

This method... it was simply cruel!

But at the thought of the demon-king-like display Qian Sha Yu had just unleashed in the imperial palace square, She Long and Ci Xue immediately withdrew their gazes and hurriedly lowered their heads.

They managed to keep their eyes straight and their minds focused, pretending to be blind, not daring to ask a single extra question.

"Young Master, all the lurking rebel forces and stubborn elements within Heaven Dou City have been completely purged by us in a bloodbath!"

She Long suppressed the shock in his heart, reporting in a low and respectful voice.

"Furthermore, we intercepted the Heaven Dou Royal Family members—Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire and Princess Xue Ke—in the secret passage behind the mountain as they were attempting to flee in disguise!"

"Thud!"

The secret guards suddenly let go, throwing the two blood-covered figures heavily into the center of the hall.

The old Emperor Xue Ye looked gaunt, black blood seeping faintly from his seven orifices.

His meridians had all been crippled; he couldn't even stand, and could only lie on the floor, coughing violently.

Beside him, Princess Xue Ke's originally magnificent royal gown was stained red with blood, her small face as pale as paper.

She hugged the remains, shivering, her eyes filled with endless despair and terror.

"Qian... Qian Renxue!!"

The old Emperor Xue Ye struggled to lift his head, his cloudy eyes fixed firmly on the figure on the dragon throne, erupting with heart-wrenching, monstrous hatred and venomous resentment!

"You... you heartless beast!"

Emperor Xue Ye opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of viscous blood mixed with black clots, roaring hysterically.

"I treated you as my own flesh and blood!"

"I spent twenty years cultivating you as the future successor of Heaven Dou!"

"But you... you actually killed my real Qinghe, disguised yourself as him to plot against me!"

"And you poisoned me to seize my empire!"

"You will die a horrible death, ahhh!"

Princess Xue Ke, beside him, was covered in tears, her delicate body shaking like chaff as she trembled while looking at Qian Sha Yu.

"Brother Qinghe... why is it you? Why did it have to be like this?"

"You were so gentle and considerate to me in the past; was it all a lie?"

"What... what else do you intend to do to me and Father?!"

Facing the old emperor's sky-high, monstrous hatred and Princess Xue Ke's desperate questioning.

Qian Sha Yu on the dragon throne didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, his expression surprisingly calm and indifferent.

He blew the blood dust off his fingernails, a mocking sneer hanging from the corner of his mouth.

Because he was Qian Sha Yu, the Slaughter Angel who controlled the Nine Netherworlds.

He was not that Qian Renxue who had lurked in Heaven Dou for twenty years, still harboring a shred of womanly mercy and guilt in her heart.

"Old geezer, have you finished screaming?"

Qian Sha Yu looked down at Xue Ye, his tone icy and bone-chilling.

"The real Xue Qinghe?"

"I cleaned up that piece of trash for you; you should be thanking me."

"As for that twenty-year bond, don't look at me with those disgusting eyes."

"My name is Qian Sha Yu! Not your dead turtle of a son!"

"You!"

Emperor Xue Ye trembled all over with rage, pointing at Qian Sha Yu, a rattling sound coming from his throat as he nearly fainted from pure fury.

At this moment, Snake Spear Douluo She Long stepped forward, bowing tentatively to ask for instructions:

"Young Master, this old man Xue Ye and Princess Xue Ke are now prisoners; how should they be dealt with?"

"Should we execute them secretly, or keep them alive to hold the emperor hostage and command the various lords of Heaven Dou?"

Hearing She Long's inquiry, Qian Sha Yu slowly sat up straight on the dragon throne.

He rubbed his chin, falling into a brief moment of contemplation.

"Heh, that's too low."

A violent and bloodthirsty light suddenly erupted in Qian Sha Yu's eyes, his mouth curling into a hair-raising, evil arc.

"With absolute force in my hands, do I need to follow rules with a bunch of ants? Do I need to rely on holding a cripple hostage to rule an empire?"

"What a joke!"

Qian Sha Yu slapped the desk, his arrogant voice echoing throughout the hall: "Pass on my order, throw these two into the dungeon."

"Tomorrow at noon, right in the central square of Heaven Dou City, in front of the hundreds of thousands of citizens of Heaven Dou City, publicly behead the old dog Xue Ye and Xue Ke, and leave their bodies exposed for three days!"

"What?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.

She Spear and Porcupinefish widened their eyes, dense cold sweat seeping from their foreheads!

Publicly beheading the Heaven Dou Emperor and the Princess?

This wasn't just about destroying the Heaven Dou Royal Family; this was about completely trampling all the dignity of the Heaven Dou Empire into the dirt!

Such a world-shaking, insane act was no different from declaring war on every power in the world.

"Qian Renxue! You lunatic! Tyrant! Devil!"

Emperor Xue Ye's eyes were about to burst, and he spat out blood in his rage.

"The people of Heaven Dou will not submit to you!"

"The Upper Three Sects and the Star Luo Empire will tear you into pieces!!!"

"Plug that old dog's mouth and drag him away!" Qian Sha Yu waved his hand impatiently.

The secret guards immediately covered the mouths of Xue Ye and Xue Ke, dragging them out of the hall by force like dead bodies.

Lying beside the dragon throne, Tang Yuehua's delicate body trembled violently.

Her originally hollow, beautiful eyes were now filled with unspeakable shock and horror!

Publicly execute Emperor Xue Ye?

Qian Renxue was absolutely insane!

Once the Heaven Dou Emperor was publicly beheaded, the Heaven Dou Empire would fall into complete chaos.

And Spirit Hall would become the target of the entire continent's collective hatred!

Did she really not care about anything anymore?
