The Battle of the Imperial Palace

Dugu Bo frowned, looking at Yu Tianshuang standing beside Xue Qinghe with some confusion. He was about to say something when he remembered that Yu Tianshuang was now a member of the Spirit Hall, so...

"Yu Tianshuang, what are you, Pufferfish Snake Lance, and Porcupine doing standing there with His Highness the Crown Prince? This is a matter for the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family. Aren't you Spirit Hall people meddling far too far? Your Highness, why are you in such a hurry to get involved with the Spirit Hall? It's like asking a tiger for its skin!"

Dugu Bo's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart instantly turned cold. He thought of a very terrifying possibility: Crown Prince Xue Qinghe might have already pledged allegiance to or agreed to some condition from the Spirit Hall in order to get Yu Tianshuang and the two Titled Douluo to stand on his side. Moreover, the guards in the palace were all people from the Spirit Hall.

"Yu Tianshuang, I lost to you in the struggle for the crown prince position in the Star Luo Empire, but the Heaven Dou Empire is not something your Spirit Hall can interfere with. Your Highness, whatever you do is an internal matter of the Heaven Dou Empire, but once the Spirit Hall is involved, even if you ascend the throne in the future, you will inevitably become a puppet of the Spirit Hall. Please think carefully!"

With Tang San's keen eyesight, how could he not see the current situation? But what he never expected was that Xue Qinghe was originally a member of the Spirit Hall. So he felt that even if the future Heaven Dou Empire was succeeded by this shrewd prince, it would be better than having any connection with the Spirit Hall.

"Hahaha, Yu Tianshuang, did you hear that? I thought the person who made you suffer such a big loss was some kind of powerful figure, but now it seems he's nothing special!"

"Tang San, you're right. The palace is beset by internal and external troubles. I had no choice but to rely on the Spirit Hall. If you want to see His Majesty, I think you should just give up and leave. I can pretend you were never here today."

After hearing Tang San's words, Xue Qinghe couldn't help but cover her chin and burst into laughter. Then, seemingly driven by a girlish playfulness, she didn't reveal her identity and continued to play the role of Xue Qinghe, teasing Tang San others.

Yu Tianshuang shook her head helplessly. After all, she was still a woman. But watching Qian Renxue tease Tang San was quite interesting. Then, with a playful expression, she crossed her arms and looked down at Tang San and the others.

"You patricide and regicide, do you think I'd listen to you? Xue Qinghe, I originally thought you were a talented person, and that the future of the Heaven Dou Empire might become better if you were in your hands. But you've disappointed me too much. You actually colluded with the Spirit Hall for the throne, poisoned and murdered your own father, and led a coup to seize control of the palace. Do you have any morals left?"

Tang San's words were filled with a sense of righteous indignation, as if he were representing the side of justice, while Xue Qinghe was a traitor who had rebelled against the emperor. Even though Qian Renxue was just playing around, her face darkened when she heard Tang San say that.

"See? You tried to trick someone, but ended up disgusting yourself instead, haha, I'm telling you..."

Seeing Yu Tianshuang get angry, Qian Renxue was in a good mood and spoke carelessly. But before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a cold gaze and quickly covered her mouth.

"Tang San, since that's the case, let's settle this with our skills. I want to see what gives you three the right to talk to me like that. Attack!"

With a gloomy face, Qian Renxue waved her hand, and the Spirit Hall's henchmen, dressed in the armor of the Heaven Dou Empire's royal guards, immediately rushed forward and surrounded Tang San and the others.

"You think I don't have a backup plan? You underestimate me far too much, Xue Qinghe!"

Tang San was not flustered when he saw the guards rushing towards him. Instead, he sneered, took out a signal tube, pressed it into the air, and colorful fireworks instantly lit up the night sky.

What kind of help do you think he can get?

The four people above, including Qian Renxue, did not make a move. Instead, they watched Tang San's confident demeanor with interest and began to discuss it.

"They're just the people from the Four Single-Attribute Clans, maybe with my aunt and Flender added. They're all just Soul Douluo Masters, nothing to worry about. It seems you could have easily completed the mission even without my help..."

After pondering Dugu Bo and Tang San's connections for a moment, Yu Tianshuang said with a relaxed expression, "Well, once this matter is over, I can go to the Skywater Academy to see my teachers and senior sisters. I'll treat this as a holiday."

"Of course! Didn't he ambush you a while ago? Well, what I meant was, um, I called you here to help you get revenge. How about it? Isn't your sister good to you? Haha!"

Qian Renxue Yu Tianshuang's words, and his mood, which had just been annoyed by Tang San, improved considerably. He patted Yu Tianshuang's shoulder with a smile, but unfortunately, he was now in the form of Xue Qinghe, and there was a significant height difference between him and Yu Tianshuang. The way he stood on tiptoe looked somewhat comical.

"Pufferfish, Snake Lance!"

Although the Spirit Hall members disguised as palace guards were numerous, their cultivation levels were not very high. Dugu Bo's Martial Soul was indeed very powerful in this kind of group battle. Seeing this, Qian Renxue realized that the human wave tactic could not deplete their strength, so she signaled the two of them to step forward and fight.

"Hehe, I heard you're known for your poison skills? I'd really like to see whose poison is more potent!"

The Porcupinefish Douluo's Martial Soul is the pufferfish, which is also a highly poisonous Martial Soul. As soon as he entered the arena, he went after Dugu Bo, who was spreading poison far and wide.

"Damn it, this awful suppression of Soul Power!"

Dugu Bo immediately groaned in despair. In fact, if it were simply a contest of poisons, his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul was stronger than the Porcupinefish Douluo. However, after becoming Titled Douluo, every level difference in Soul Power represented a huge gap in strength. He did not lose because of poison, but because of Soul Power, which made him quite distressed.

"Soul Breaking Spear, the Breaking Clan is known as a pure offensive Soul Master? I wonder which is sharper, your Soul Breaking Spear or my Snake Lance? Haha, take this!"

She Long, who also used a long-handled Tool Martial Soul, thrust out his spear to meet Yang Wudi's Soul Breaking Spear. However, to his surprise, although this person was only Soul Douluo, the power of his casual strike was no less than his own, which made him even more excited.

"Third Soul Skill, Shadow-Rending Nine Slashes!"

Is this Yang Wudi really just a Soul Douluo? He can actually fight She Long to a standstill. It seems that the Four Single-Attribute Clans really have something going for them.

Qian Renxue, watching from above, narrowed her eyes as she saw that Yang Wudi was actually able to hold her own against She Long, and thought to herself.

"Senior Dugu, quickly use poison together!"

Tang San saw that the only Titled Douluo in the field had been swallowed into the Martial Soul of the Porcupinefish Douluo. He anxiously flew to the Martial Soul of the Porcupinefish Douluo, stabbed the Eight Spider Soul Bone on his back into it, and shouted at Dugu Bo inside the pufferfish.

"Hahaha, what are you thinking? Toxins are useless against me. No matter how many toxins there are, I'll absorb them and turn them into my Soul Power. Haha, ah..."

Seeing Tang San and Dugu Bo Porcupinefish Douluo burst into laughter. Unfortunately, his laughter didn't last long; he felt as if he'd eaten too much, and his Martial Soul exploded from the force of the two poisons...

"Sigh... At such an old age, still fighting with such a contemptuous attitude, I'm speechless. Oh well, since we're already here, we should at least lend a hand, otherwise it wouldn't be good if you thought I was just watching the show."

Looking at the battle below, Yu Tianshuang sighed and rubbed her forehead, muttering a complaint. She then stepped forward, preparing to summon the Frost Dragon to possess her.

"No need. I told you I'd help you get revenge. Just stand here and watch. That idiot, the Pufferfish, has an IQ even lower than She Long's. I really don't know how he cultivated to become Titled Douluo..."

Qian Renxue Pufferfish. Now she was representing herself, and she couldn't bear to see such an embarrassing scene on Yu Tianshuang's face. She raised her hand to stop Yu Tianshuang from joining the fight.

"Tang San, do you think you represent the side of justice? Do you think you can create a miracle today? Do you know why I didn't stop you from releasing the signal flare? Because I didn't think it was necessary. All you're relying on is Shrek Academy and the Four Single-Attribute Clans that follow you? Oh, right, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, who's like a stray dog. As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I don't think you have the ability to persuade them. So, what hope are you still holding onto?"

Qian Renxue still maintained the appearance of Xue Qinghe, but with each step she took forward and each sentence she uttered, her body gradually began to glow with golden light. When she finished speaking, she shone like the blazing sun, illuminating the dark night sky as if it were daytime.

"What... what kind of power is this? It seems to have an unfamiliar attribute, like I've seen it somewhere before... Six-Winged Angel, it's actually Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul?"

Tang San looked at Xue Qinghe, who was radiating a golden, holy light. His past memories seemed to be awakened by something, and then his pupils suddenly dilated. During the Soul Master Tournament, in the Pope's Palace, there was the Angel Statue that his father had smashed, and the scene he saw when his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul evolved. When his mother sacrificed herself, the previous Pope Qian Xunji used the same Martial Soul power as Xue Qinghe.

"How is this possible? You, you're not Xue Qinghe! Who are you? The Spirit Hall... I see. You weren't colluding with the Spirit Hall; you were a member of the Spirit Hall yourself. How did you manage that?"

Tang San's mind was incredibly sharp. He quickly deduced the terrifying reality from the fragmented clues. When Qian Renxue spoke, he noticed that the two, Pufferfish and Snake Lance, were standing obediently below him, as respectful as subordinates. This once again confirmed his deduction.

"Tang San, Sect Master, what do you mean?"

Yang Wudi and Dugu Bo also keenly noticed this, but they didn't think it through to that extent. Tang San's question about Xue Qinghe also left them with deep doubts.

"Good, what a powerful and sacred aura! Don't you understand yet? Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul! On the entire continent, besides the Angel Clan of the Spirit Hall and the Qian Family, who else can possess Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul? This Xue Qinghe is not the son of the Emperor Snow Empress at all; he is a member of the Spirit Hall!"
