Public Execution of Tang Hao
Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who was standing next to Ning Fengzhi, was also startled. However, after thinking about the injuries Tang Hao had suffered that day, he began to believe Xue Qinghe's words to some extent.
Xue Qinghe continued, "Teacher, Tang Hao is currently imprisoned in the dungeon, and his Soul Power has been destroyed, rendering him a cripple."
"Are you serious? Take me to see it quickly." Ning Fengzhi seemed to be confirming, his words slightly urgent.
"Teacher, follow me." Xue Qinghe led the way, and soon the three of them arrived at the dungeon where Tang Hao was imprisoned.
"Well!"
"Ah!"
In the dungeon, Tang Hao, whose entire body was bound by iron chains, saw Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi, and the Sword Douluo and struggled desperately, sometimes roaring.
However, Tang Hao's throat had been crippled by Wang Feng, so he couldn't make a sound. He could only let out hoarse roars towards Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi, and the others.
"It really is Tang Hao!"
"He actually got arrested!!"
"Qinghe, how did you do that?"
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were surprised to see Tang Hao as a prisoner, and at the same time looked at Xue Qing with some doubt.
They knew the Heaven Dou Imperial Family didn't have Titled Douluo, and given Tang Hao's strength, capturing Titled Douluo was practically impossible. So how did he manage it?
I was puzzled and confused.
Xue Qinghe understood what the two meant, and then explained that it was because Tang Hao was seriously injured and fell to the level of Soul Sage that they had the opportunity to capture him.
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo only believed it after they learned the reason.
"Teacher, now that I have captured Tang Hao, I plan to announce to the world that Tang Hao will be executed to appease my father's spirit in heaven. What do you think?" Xue Qing asked scrutinically.
Ning Fengzhi frowned, somewhat hesitant. "Wouldn't it be inappropriate to publicly execute him? After all, Tang Hao was once considered a true man on the mainland. If we publicly execute him, it might offend some people."
"From what I understand, Tang Hao has made countless enemies in the past, caused heavy losses to the Clear Sky Sect, and faced a huge threat, ultimately forcing him to go into seclusion. Now, Tang Hao has also killed my father. If I don't give my empire's people an explanation, how can I be a good emperor in the future?"
"Teacher, I plan to publicly execute Tang Hao in three days."
Xue Qinghe offered an explanation, and before Ning Fengzhi any further advice, she made her decision firmly.
"Ah! Qinghe, you are the emperor now, so naturally it's up to you to decide."
Ning Fengzhi sighed and offered no further advice.
Tang Hao killed Xue Ye, and Xue Qinghe, as a son and the emperor, had no reason to dissuade him from executing Tang Hao to stabilize the empire and the people's hearts.
Next, after discussing some matters with Ning Fengzhi, Xue Qinghe announced to the world that Tang Hao, the murderer of the late Emperor Xue Ye, had been brought to justice, and decided to publicly execute him three days later to avenge the late Emperor's death.
This news caused an uproar, with everyone searching for its veracity.
"Tang Hao, is he the Clear Sky Douluo?"
"How could he have been captured by the Heaven Dou Empire?"
"How is it impossible? He murdered Xue Ye; murderers should be killed. Such a criminal should be executed."
The residents of Heaven Dou City were abuzz with discussion.
Meanwhile, at this moment, Moonlight Pavilion...
After Wang Feng left, Tang Yuehua, Ah Yin, and Liu Erlong grew closer and closer, becoming like sisters.
On ordinary days, the three women talked about everything except practicing musical instruments and etiquette.
Today should have been a happy day, but Tang Yuehua was stunned when she received news that Tang Hao had been arrested and would be publicly executed in three days.
"How could this be? How could Second Brother have been captured?"
Tang Yuehua, regaining her senses, was filled with disbelief. Her second brother was Titled Douluo, the renowned Clear Sky Douluo of the continent. How could he have been captured? It was impossible. It must be a false rumor released by the Heaven Dou Empire to maintain stability.
However, when the Heaven Dou Empire publicly announced the imprisonment of Tang Hao, it shattered Tang Yuehua's last shred of hope.
Tang Hao has indeed been arrested.
As the younger sister, her first reaction was to save people, but Liu Erlong and Ah Yin stopped Tang Yuehua.
"Yuehua, the Heaven Dou Empire is heavily guarded, and Tang Hao's murder of Xue Ye is a fact; you have no chance to save him."
"That's right, we can't just stand by and watch you go to your death."
"But my second brother could never have killed Xue Ye; this was just one."
Tang Yuehua wanted to explain, but didn't know how.
She gradually calmed down after being persuaded and stopped by Liu Erlong and Ah Yin. After calming down, she thought of the Clear Sky Sect and her elder brother. If they were allowed to save people, they would definitely be able to.
The Spirit Hall at this time.
When Bibi Dong received the news that Tang Hao was to be executed three days after his capture, she was somewhat incredulous. After all, she wished she could kill Tang Hao, a major enemy of the Spirit Hall, with her own life.
However, the news and evidence from the Heaven Dou Empire convinced her that Tang Hao had been captured by her daughter, Qian Renxue.
"Not bad, we were able to capture Tang Hao and eliminate an enemy for our Spirit Hall."
Bibi Dong was somewhat satisfied with her daughter, whom she didn't like.
However, the news that pleased her even more was that her disciple Wang Feng and Qiangu, whom she had sent, were on their way back to the Spirit Hall.
"That bastard, he's been gone for so long! Wait till I get back and teach him a lesson!"
Bibi Dong felt a little uneasy thinking about being alone at night without her disciple Wang Feng's service.
It turned out that because of the Divine Trial, she had gradually gotten used to having Wang Feng around, even though she was unwilling to admit it in her heart.
Now that she's suddenly gone so long without Wang Feng's attention, and she can't even continue her Divine Trial, it's no wonder she's angry.
"When you get back, I'll show you what happens when you disobey your teacher."
A wicked smile crept onto Bibi Dong's pretty face.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Clear Sky Sect.
News of Tang Hao's arrest also reached their ears.
Even though Tang Xiao Tang Hao expelled from the sect, Tang Hao was still Tang Hao's biological older brother. Moreover, the letter from his younger sister, Tang Yuehua, pleading for help had also reached him.
His first thought was to save Tang Hao.
But the elders didn't give him a chance and stopped him.
"Sect Master, although you are the Sect Master, you should know that Tang Hao is a sinner of our sect. Are you now willing to waste the sect's resources again to save this sinner?"
"That's right. Tang Hao severely damaged our sect's strength back then, almost causing its annihilation. In the end, we had to close our gates to preserve our strength. Now he has committed a crime outside, murdering Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire. He has been arrested and publicly executed. This is only natural. Do you want to drag our Clear Sky Sect down with us again and make us enemies of the entire Heaven Dou Empire?"
"The Spirit Hall is now eyeing our Clear Sky Sect with covetous intent. Are you willing to offend the Heaven Dou Empire for the sake of a villain who has harmed the sect? Is this something a sect leader should do?"
The elders of the Clear Sky Sect, one after another, forced Tang Xiao into silence.
Saving Tang Hao would mean putting the sect's safety in danger; not saving Tang Hao would be unworthy of being the eldest brother.
Tang Xiao was caught in a dilemma.
Then, a group of elders gave a speech discussing the pros and cons, which forced Tang Xiao to abandon the idea of offending the Heaven Dou Empire to save people.
With the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Heaven Dou Empire invited Ning Fengzhi Xue Qinghe the public execution. As everyone knows, wherever Ning Fengzhi is, there is the Sword Douluo. If the Clear Sky Sect were to go and rescue him, it would not only make the Heaven Dou Empire an enemy, but also antagonize the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Moreover, not only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but also the people from the Spirit Hall Branch of the Heaven Dou Empire were invited by Xue Qinghe to watch the execution.
For the sake of the sect's safety, Tang Xiao had no choice but to abandon the idea of saving the person.
Meanwhile, behind the Clear Sky Sect, Tang San was in seclusion, diligently cultivating.
It turns out that Tang San returned to the Clear Sky Sect a few days ago and successfully returned to the sect with Tang Xiao's strong protection.
Tang Xiao didn't go to save Tang Hao, partly because of Tang San.
He knew Tang San was exceptionally talented, and if Tang San knew his father was about to be executed, he would definitely do anything to save him. With Tang San's strength, he would be more likely to die than save his father.
For Tang San's safety, Tang Xiao had ordered the sect not to inform him of this news.
Besides the Clear Sky Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, some sects, the Star Luo Empire, and other forces also received news of Tang Hao's execution.
Most people are simply watching with amusement.
It's because Tang Hao had made too many enemies before.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and today is the day Tang Hao will be executed.
The people of the Heaven Dou Empire gathered early at the execution site, watching as the youngest Titled Douluo, once hailed as the most powerful, was about to be executed.
At this moment, in the execution square, Emperor Xue Qinghe appeared on the high platform, with Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Sword Douluo Chen Xin beside him.
Xue Qinghe also invited Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall.
Besides these people, various factions from all walks of life sent one or two people to watch, making the scene incredibly lively, even comparable to the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang, the imperial advisor, was also on the high platform watching Tang Hao, who was about to be executed.
He also wanted to save Tang Hao, after all, Tang Hao was the father of his disciple Tang San, but he was powerless to do so, and if he did, his position as the Imperial Advisor would be over.
A person accustomed to being in a superior position will find it difficult to relinquish that superior power.
Flender was also among the crowd.
Apart from Flender, Liu Erlong and Ah Yin were also there, but Tang Yuehua was conspicuously absent.
It turns out that Liu Erlong and Ah Yin knocked Tang Yuehua unconscious to prevent her from causing trouble, and she should be sleeping soundly in the Moonlight Pavilion now.
The master of ceremonies, who was presiding over the trial and execution, saw that the time was almost up and hurriedly stepped forward and called out:
"Quiet!"
"Now, please welcome His Majesty the Emperor to speak."
Xue Qinghe walked out, looked at the lively scene, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Citizens of the Heaven Dou Empire, I am your Emperor Xue Qinghe."
"Today we will try a criminal, and that criminal is Tang Hao."
"This man murdered the late emperor on Xue Ye, and on the day he fled, he also injured several soldiers of our empire. His crime deserves death."
"This person is treacherous and wicked."
Then, seeing the people's passionate outburst, Xue Qinghe accused Tang Hao of numerous crimes, such as rape, kidnapping, murder, shamelessness, hypocrisy, and lack of integrity.
The scene was once in a frenzy.
"It's noon! Execute!"
Then, at Xue Qinghe's command, the butcher's broadsword, which had been sharpened for a long time, flashed with a cold light, and he swiftly and decisively brought the knife down.
Clang!!
A human head rolled down from the execution platform.
Tang Hao, the second young master of the Tang Family, the legendary Clear Sky Douluo, is dead!
