"Good, very good. This victory will probably make the Alliance happy for a long time. We have achieved our goal." Bibi Dong had a bright smile on her face.
"Is it really appropriate to sacrifice a Titled Douluo in exchange for this so-called victory?" A hint of doubt appeared on Ghost Douluo's face.
Chrysanthemum Douluo analyzed from the side, " Demon Bear Douluo was already halfway to his coffin. Sacrificing him for the sake of our Spirit Hall's grand plan is worthwhile."
"Next, let Ning Fengzhi his move. Our Spirit Hall Empire will take the bait and see what tricks he has up his sleeve."
Tang Hao and the others had already returned to the Clear Sky Sect. Although each of them had some injuries, their faces were full of bright smiles.
This sneak attack was a resounding success. Not only did they annihilate most of the Spirit Hall's supply troops, but they also killed a Titled Douluo, directly weakening the Spirit Hall Empire's top combat power. How could they not be excited?
Inside the main hall of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao, Yu Xiaogang, and the others had gathered and listened to Ning Fengzhi recount the day's sneak attack.
"It seems the Spirit Hall didn't discover our sneak attack beforehand, otherwise we probably wouldn't be back," Tang Hao said while meditating to recover his strength.
Tang Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo would definitely have hidden themselves from the beginning, instead of showing up after you killed a Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall."
"However, this victory is enough to shake the foundation of the Spirit Hall. With combat power at the Titled Douluo level, the Spirit Hall will definitely feel the pinch," Yu Xiaogang said from the side.
Tang Hao opened his eyes and sneered, "They underestimate us too much. They'll need to cultivate for a few more years before they can devour us."
Tang Xiao nodded slightly, "This time, the Spirit Hall will likely take the initiative. They will definitely retaliate against us using the same methods. We need to be careful."
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, " Sect Master Tang, please rest assured, I have made arrangements. Every Soul Master in all our teams is equipped with Flying Soul Tool. In case of any unexpected situation, they can fly directly into the sky. Unless Titled Douluo takes action, there is no way to deal with them."
"This successful sneak attack has disrupted their plans. What we need to do next is to continue the offensive, strike repeatedly, and catch them off guard." Yu Xiaogang, however, was somewhat puzzled. "But why is Chrysanthemum Douluo's Soul Power Level 97? Isn't it extremely difficult for Titled Douluo to advance?"
Tang Xiao explained, "They must have used some special methods. After all, Chrysanthemum Douluo was only level 95 a few years ago, but to reach level 97 in such a short time must have required a huge price, or rather, they must have used some Evil techniques."
"It seems the growing threat from the Spirit Hall Empire is already emerging. We need to step up our preparations." Yu Xiaogang sighed, clearly very worried about the current situation. "Approximately how many Titled Douluo does the Spirit Hall have?" Tang Xiao asked.
"When I stormed the Papal Palace, there were five hidden in the shadows. Adding Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Bibi Dong, there are a total of eight Titled Douluo," Tang Hao said after a moment's thought.
"Now that one of us has died, the Spirit Hall is left with only seven Titled Douluo, far fewer than the Alliance. It's time for us to take the initiative, to send our army forward, and to reclaim our territory."
Tang Xiao, Yu Xiaogang, and the others quickly devised a detailed plan. They decided to abandon their passive defense and instead launch a counterattack against the Spirit Hall Empire.
Soon, the armies of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire launched a massive attack, relentlessly encroaching on the territory of the Spirit Hall Empire.
The armies of the two countries swept into the heart of the Spirit Hall Empire like an iron wall.
Although the Spirit Hall Empire had far more Soul Master than the two great empires, war is a contest of armies. Compared to the two great empires, the Spirit Hall Empire Empire's army was far too small, resulting in the loss of a considerable amount of territory. Under the advance of its army, the Spirit Hall Empire's defenses were gradually breached, like a sandcastle.
Some strongholds originally located within the territory of the Spirit Hall Empire also fell into the hands of the allied forces. After discussions between Ning Fengzhi and Yu Xiaogang, it was decided that Tang Hao would lead the team to participate in this counterattack.
Every move they made sent shockwaves through the enemy. Tang Hao wielded his iron hammer, smashing hordes of enemies into mincemeat with each swing. His figure became the most dazzling presence on the battlefield, greatly boosting the morale of the Alliance armies. The name of Clear Sky Douluo once again resounded throughout the entire Douluo Continent. However, just as the allied forces were achieving victory after victory, the Spirit Hall's counterattack finally arrived.
The Spirit Hall directly dispatched eight Titled Douluo to launch separate raids on the imperial palaces of the two great empires.
Several Titled Douluo joined forces, unleashing earth-shattering power as they swept towards the imperial palaces of the two great empires. The imperial palaces of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire were almost simultaneously engulfed by the attack, erupting in a series of terrifying explosions.
Several Titled Douluo joined forces, their attack power almost capable of destroying a city. In an instant, the entire Heaven Dou Imperial Palace was destroyed by the Titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall, and no one inside survived. However, Emperor Xue Qinghe escaped this calamity because he personally led the expedition.
The Star Luo Empire's imperial palace suffered the same fate. Although the palace was not destroyed, the Star Luo Emperor sacrificed his and his empress's Life to save it. The two of them used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hell White Tiger, to block the attacks of several Titled Douluo. Even so, although the palace was saved, the emperor and empress paid with their Life.
This surprise attack nearly destroyed the core of two empires and shocked the entire Douluo Continent.
When the news reached Tang Hao and the others at the front lines of the Heaven Dou Empire, everyone was filled with anger and shock. Xue Qinghe almost fainted. They never expected that the Spirit Hall would be so despicable as to use such methods to attack the palaces of two empires.
Tang Hao clenched his fist, his eyes flashing with determination. "We were careless this time. Our minds were all on the front lines, and we didn't take care of our rear." Tang Xiao nodded as well. " Sect Master Ning mentioned before that we should protect the two imperial palaces to prevent them from being attacked by the Spirit Hall. At first, I didn't take it seriously. I didn't expect them to actually do it. I can only say that it's fortunate that His Majesty Qinghe has been by our side all along, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Yu Xiaogang pondered for a moment, "We need to formulate a more detailed plan to counter the Spirit Hall's counterattack."
