Seeing Qi Ling suddenly collapse, those around him rushed to help him up. Xue Ke also broke free from the crowd's protection and went to Qi Ling's side, asking worriedly, "Teacher, are you alright?"
"It's nothing, I just overexerted myself," Qi Ling said with a smile. "Compared to me, you should go check on Xiao San and the others; they're not in much better shape than I am."
Tang San and his companions' power was naturally far inferior to that of the Dragon Clan like Bai Ling'er, so even though they used less power this time and had the support of the Dragon Soul, it was still far from enough for them.
Therefore, in order to complete the Nine Dragons Returning Light Grand Formation, Tang San and the others overexerted their strength to a certain extent. Not only would they be unable to muster any Soul Power for the next three days, but they would also be unable to use their Seventh Soul Ring for a month.
It was precisely because they paid such a price that they were able to support Qi Ling in completing such an attack and annihilating 100,000 Yin Soldiers in one fell swoop.
After everyone had taken care of Tang San and the others, Qi Ling forced herself to stand up and said to everyone, "Everyone! Now that the traitor Xue Qinghe has been defeated, there are no more enemies in the Heaven Dou Empire that can stop us. The people of the world will not forget your contributions. We have won!"
"Long live! Long live!" After Qi Ling finished speaking, everyone cheered immediately. Although many people did not understand how they had won, since everyone around them was celebrating, they just needed to celebrate along with them.
Afterwards, everyone entered Heaven Dou City together. Inside the palace, many people were visiting such a place for the first time and couldn't help but marvel at the grandeur of the palace.
Subsequently, Princess Xue Ke, the heir to the throne of Xue Ye and the soon-to-be next empress, delivered a speech to the crowd, thanking everyone for their efforts and promising to repay them in the future.
Qi Ling, who was resting to the side, had a faint worry between his brows, because he was still concerned about Dragon's Glory City in the distance, wondering if the Divine Court had launched an attack.
After Qi Ling left, Bibi Dong became the backbone of Dragon's Glory City. This was also Qi Ling's arrangement, since various forces were mixed in Dragon's Glory City at the moment, and Qi Ling had to find someone who was trustworthy and capable enough.
Bibi Dong is clearly the one who best fits this requirement. Although she currently looks like just a young girl and her Soul Power cultivation is only at the Soul Elder level, no one who knows her identity would dare to underestimate her.
Just as Qi Ling had guessed, the Divine Court did not let go of the best opportunity to attack Dragon's Glory City, which was now undefended. On the same day that Qi Ling and his group attacked Heaven Dou City, the Divine Court also launched an attack on Dragon's Glory City.
The attack took place at dawn, when people are most likely to be sleepy. Before the moon had set and before the sun was about to rise, a group of people from the Divine Court launched an attack on Dragon's Glory City from all directions.
Just as Qi Ling had guessed, this time the Divine Court did not launch a large-scale attack as before, but instead sent out an elite team, a super team composed of Titled Douluo, Soul Saint Soul Douluo!
The leader of the team was none other than Thunder Bear Douluo, the level 97 Super Douluo had previously led the attack on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. After returning last time, he had been Qian Xunji punished by Qian Xunji, and this time he had volunteered to come to Dragon's Glory City to seek revenge.
To ensure everything went perfectly, Thunder Bear Douluo made special arrangements for his tactics before launching the attack. In his view, the reason he suffered a crushing defeat at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was simply because he thought he had fallen into Qi Ling's trap. So this time, he also wanted to demonstrate his wisdom.
What's interesting is that the people who came to Dragon's Glory City this time were all old acquaintances of Qi Ling, including Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and the previous Qian Jun Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo. It could be said to be a loser's alliance.
"Hmph! Gentlemen, this battle is not only about our future, but also about our reputation!" Thunder Bear Douluo said at the pre-battle meeting. "We are all renowned experts, yet we have repeatedly been defeated by this young brat Qi Ling. What will the world think of us?"
"So this time, we can only win, we can't afford to lose!! While Qi Ling is away, we're going to teach them a lesson they won't forget!"
Although no one wanted to admit it, Qi Ling had become an obstacle in their hearts, and now they didn't even dare to confront Qi Ling directly.
"Damn it, that Qi Ling! He's really ruined someone's life!" Chrysanthemum Douluo said angrily. "Not only did he almost kill someone, but he also lost his elder position. If I catch him, I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget! Humph!"
Seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo's appearance, everyone couldn't help but shudder. Thunder Bear Douluo, suppressing the urge to vomit, said, "Therefore, this time we must succeed in one fell swoop and take down Qi Ling's lair!"
"This time we've changed our plan and will split up. Old Ghost and Old Chrysanthemum, you two work together the best, so you two will move together and attack from the south gate!"
" Snake Lance, you're in charge of leading a surprise attack, infiltrating through the weakest point in the defenses—the north gate! That's not a main entrance or exit, so it won't attract attention."
"Then, Qian Jun, you and I will attack from the west gate together, while the rest of you will attack from the east gate! Everyone, follow my instructions and attack simultaneously at the first moment, giving them no chance to react!"
After hearing Thunder Bear Douluo's words, everyone nodded in agreement. At least this tactic was much better than charging in blindly!
After agreeing on the secret signal, everyone split up and went to their respective prepared areas. When the time was right, they launched their attack simultaneously, heading towards Dragon's Glory City together.
Thunder Bear Douluo from the west activated his Martial Soul Avatar at the very beginning of the attack, and then with a Thunderous Might strike, directly smashed open the heavy city gate, fully demonstrating his powerful strength.
"Hahaha! You trash of Dragon's Glory City, your Grandpa Lei Xiong is here to take your lives!" Lei Xiong, who had transformed into a giant bear, was about to carry out his planned rampage, but he stopped after seeing someone.
Before Lei Xiong stood a middle-aged man with an air of otherworldly wisdom, holding a long sword. His posture was as upright as a javelin, and he was Lingling staring at Lei Xiong.
" Chen Xin! What are you doing here!" Lei Xiong exclaimed in shock. "Didn't you go to Heaven Dou City with Qi Ling?"
"Of course not. If I went, how could I possibly wait for you?" Chen Xin slowly raised the Seven Kill Sword and said to Lei Xiong, " Lei Xiong, I haven't avenged you for what happened last time. Today you've actually delivered yourself to my doorstep, so don't think you can leave so easily!"
