"Tap, tap, tap..."
The sound of footsteps came from the stairs. Everyone looked curiously toward the stairway, while Qin Feng alone wore an unsurprised expression.
"That's him. Take him away!"
As soon as the soldiers came upstairs, they swept their eyes around and immediately spotted Qin Feng with Tang Yuehua.
At that moment, nine Soul Rings lit up behind Bald Strong. Seeing this, the soldiers did not dare act rashly. They could only disperse the customers and surround Qin Feng.
"Bring Emperor Xue Ye here."
Without even looking, Qin Feng tossed out a token. The soldiers' expressions changed when they saw it, and they became even less willing to make a careless move.
"You, take the token and find His Majesty."
The leading soldier looked warily at Qin Feng and the others. A Titled Douluo and a Papal Token—there would likely be no peaceful resolution today. Spirit Hall was not an enemy they could afford to provoke.
"Yes."
Knowing the gravity of the situation, the soldier hurried downstairs without stopping.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Another commotion came from downstairs. Qin Feng did not need to think to know that Emperor Xue Ye had arrived.
"Tap, tap, tap..."
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
When the soldiers saw Emperor Xue Ye coming upstairs, they called out respectfully.
"Where is he?"
After scanning the room, Emperor Xue Ye saw Qin Feng calmly drinking tea. He stepped forward and returned the token to Qin Feng.
"It's you?"
Emperor Xue Ye studied Qin Feng carefully and recognized him at once. Wasn't this the person Prince Xue Xing knew?
"I've heard of you."
Emperor Xue Ye spoke in a low voice. He had not expected this man to abduct Tang Yuehua. If it had been anyone else, he would never have allowed them to take her away, but he did not dare offend this person now.
This was someone who could stand toe-to-toe with Spirit Hall. He did not dare provoke him lightly.
"Then why are you here now...?"
As he spoke, Qin Feng took a sip of tea. Emperor Xue Ye's expression became conflicted. He had not come because he owed Tang Yuehua a favor, but because his subordinates did, and they had all pleaded on her behalf.
"I wonder if you could..."
"Anything else is negotiable. Not this."
Before Emperor Xue Ye could finish, Qin Feng interrupted him. What a joke. I abducted her, and you think you can just tell me to let her go?
"Hmm..."
At those words, Emperor Xue Ye's face immediately darkened. He wondered whether he should offend Qin Feng or...
"Fine."
After frowning in thought for a while, Emperor Xue Ye ultimately yielded. Although the lingering prestige of the Clear Sky Sect remained, it was too far away. He could not offend Qin Feng, whose influence was currently at its peak.
"You made the right choice."
Qin Feng smiled as well. No one wanted to make an enemy of an unknown opponent, especially when he could crush the Heaven Dou Empire as easily as ants.
"Then I'll be leaving."
Qin Feng waved goodbye, leaving behind only Emperor Xue Ye with an ugly expression.
"Strength truly is the only hard truth."
Emperor Xue Ye sighed, then ordered the troops to withdraw. He, too, wearily climbed into his carriage.
"Was this really okay?"
Bald Strong scratched his head. He always felt that this was not much different from being bandits.
"You need to understand that our enemies won't leave us any opportunities."
Qin Feng explained that he would never have acted this way if it were an ordinary person. But this was Tang San, the chosen son of fate. He could not leave Tang San even the slightest possibility of turning things around.
"That's right. Sometimes being ruthless is the key to victory."
Lazy Yangyang spoke up as well, but Bald Strong completely ignored its words.
"What does a sheep like you know?"
Bald Strong said impatiently to Lazy Yangyang. A sheep was trying to lecture him now? It should take a look at its own worth first.
"Hmph. Listen or don't."
Lazy Yangyang had not expected Bald Strong to target it so much, so it did not argue back. After all, when someone found you annoying, everything you said was wrong.
"Alright, you can untie her now."
After arriving at the sect, Qin Feng spoke to Lazy Yangyang. Lazy Yangyang nodded, raised a finger, and Tang Yuehua instantly woke up.
"Where is this?"
After waking up, Tang Yuehua looked at the unfamiliar surroundings. When she saw the two words Huaxia ahead of her, her face turned pale. She knew that she had lost.
She had trusted the Heaven Dou Empire too much, which was why she had lost so thoroughly this time. It was like a game of chess—one wrong move, and the entire game was lost.
"Sect Master, you're back?"
At that moment, Dugu Bo emerged from the sect and asked curiously, then looked toward Tang Yuehua.
"Isn't this... isn't this..."
Dugu Bo thought for a long time but still could not remember who she was. He then looked awkwardly at Qin Feng.
"Moon Pavilion. Tang Yuehua." Qin Feng slapped his forehead, his face full of helplessness.
"Ah, right, right, right. Tang Yuehua. I remember now."
Dugu Bo slapped his forehead and immediately remembered. Wasn't she the one who taught etiquette? Why had they brought her here? To teach them etiquette?
"By the way, why did you bring her here? How did you persuade her?"
Dugu Bo kept asking questions. He had heard that Tang Yuehua held quite a high status in the Heaven Dou Empire. Had all those royal nobles agreed to this?
"We snatched her."
Qin Feng did not explain much. The major factions should all know by now. Such a huge commotion could not possibly go unnoticed.
"Snatched her?"
This time, Dugu Bo was dumbfounded. They could do that? Still, he rather admired Qin Feng. He did whatever he wanted.
"Let's go inside."
Qin Feng waved his hand, then pulled Tang Yuehua inside.
"Reporting to Your Holiness, Qin Feng has taken Tang Yuehua from the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Alright, I understand. You may leave."
Bibi Dong nodded. After the guard withdrew, she fell into deep thought. She did not know whether Qin Feng taking Tang Yuehua away was good or bad.
Of course, she knew Tang Yuehua belonged to the Clear Sky Sect, but she could not touch Tang Yuehua either. If the Heaven Dou Empire insisted on protecting her, there was nothing she could do. If she became enemies with the Heaven Dou Empire, the other sects would only stand by and watch.
Clear Sky Sect.
"What? You said Qin Feng took Yuehua away?"
Tang Xiao turned and stared at the scout before him in disbelief. Of course, he knew Qin Feng. His reputation had been soaring recently, but when had the Clear Sky Sect ever offended him?
"Yes, and Qin Feng also said he killed Tang Hao."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao's face darkened. This was simply going too far. Though Tang Hao had left the Clear Sky Sect, it was not an outsider's place to kill him.
And now he had come to seize his younger sister. He clearly did not take the Clear Sky Sect seriously at all.
"Alright, I understand."
After calming down, Tang Xiao took a deep breath, then summoned the elders to discuss the matter.
"He took Tang Yuehua away?"
Ning Fengzhi looked at the scout in confusion. They had no grudge against the Clear Sky Sect, so why take her?
"Uncle Sword, what do you think about this...?"
Unable to think of an answer, Ning Fengzhi looked toward Sword Douluo. Seeing Uncle Sword shake his head, he smiled bitterly. He truly was confused. This had nothing to do with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so why was he worrying about it?
Meanwhile, Qin Feng had Tang Yuehua confined in a room and had Pawns guard her strictly. Only then did he feel at ease.
"Next should be Tang Chen."
After thinking for a while, Qin Feng thought of Tang San's great-grandfather, the current master of Slaughter City. He was the one who had provided Tang San with the Slaughter Domain.
"I heard you captured Tang Yuehua?"
At that moment, Prince Xue Xing came over as well. He glanced at the room where Tang Yuehua was being held, then looked curiously at Qin Feng.
"How did you get her out?"
Prince Xue Xing asked in confusion. He knew how difficult Tang Yuehua was to deal with. The Heaven Dou Empire's royal family alone was troublesome enough.
"We snatched her."
Seeing that someone else had come to ask, Qin Feng explained, then waved his hand and led Yuan Yi and the others toward Spirit Hall.
"Greetings, Your Holiness."
"I heard you've done something big again recently!"
Bibi Dong looked somewhat surprised at Qin Feng as he entered. She had not expected him to come here as soon as he returned.
"Not at all. How could anything I've done compare to what Spirit Hall has done? Don't you agree?"
Qin Feng looked modest. What kind of force was Spirit Hall? It was the leading power in the Douluo world, though it had changed hands now.
