The situation
Meanwhile, on the other side were Qian Renxue and two others—no, actually, just two people.
To protect Qian Renxue, the Porcupinefish Douluo Ci Xue summoned his Martial Soul Avatar at a crucial moment, swallowing Qian Renxue and using his defensive Soul Skill to withstand the burning and shockwave caused by Apollo.
Even in his final moments, he remained silent, continuing to protect Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue survived the attack thanks to the selfless protection of the Porcupinefish Douluo, but she fell into a coma and seemed to be protected by a divine power.
Despite his own severe injuries, She Long pulled Qian Renxue out of her Ci Xue Martial Soul Avatar.
Suppressing his grief, he picked up Qian Renxue and flew towards safety. This place was not safe now; the flames were still burning.
Just as Snake Lance Douluo She Long carried Qian Renxue into the air, Gu Rong also happened to carry Ning Fengzhi the air as well.
The two Titled Douluo exchanged a glance, both taken aback.
Gu Rong: This figure seems familiar. He doesn't seem like a powerful figure from the Heaven Dou Empire, and he's even a Titled Douluo.
She Long: Damn it, it's Bone Douluo and Ning Fengzhi! They really didn't die. And they even discovered me! Doesn't that mean the Spirit Hall's grand plan is ruined...?
Both Titled Douluo were seriously injured, but they kept their doubts and worries to themselves. Right now, the most important thing for them was to save people and recover from their injuries.
We'll talk about the rest later.
The Heaven Dou Imperial Family was almost completely wiped out, nearly half of the vast Heaven Dou City was reduced to ruins, the population casualties reached millions, three to four hundred thousand elite soldiers were destroyed, and more than 70% of the Soul Saint and above powerhouses associated with the Heaven Dou Empire were lost, including a level 95 Titled Douluo, Phantom Douluo.
Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire was beheaded and his head was hung on the Heaven Dou City for all to see. Crown Prince Xue Qinghe mysteriously disappeared, leaving the Heaven Dou Empire leaderless.
It's likely that the Heaven Dou Empire won't be able to recover its strength within thirty years.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School's Sect Master Ning Fengzhi and Titled Douluo Gu Rong were severely injured, and all the other elites died. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was also greatly weakened and its prestige was greatly diminished.
These messages spread rapidly throughout the entire Douluo Continent, and for a time, the entire Douluo Continent was immersed in a strange atmosphere.
Spirit Hall, in the Pope Hall.
A noble and aloof woman held a scepter, her hand resting on her forehead, her eyes slightly closed, seemingly deep in thought.
This woman was none other than Bibi Dong, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall.
"Your Pope, I have important intelligence to report."
Bibi Dong didn't even look up, and said calmly, "What is it? How dare you disturb this Pope's rest?"
The attendant trembled, "Pope Holiness, please forgive me, but a terrible thing has happened in the Heaven Dou Empire!"
Bibi Dong asked lazily, "What is it?"
Attendant: "Xue Ye is dead, and the army has suffered over 300,000 casualties..."
Countless Soul Saint- level Soul Douluo- level powerhouses were killed or injured...
The Titled Douluo Phantom, one Demon Lizard dead and one missing...
Millions of people have died or been injured in Heaven Dou City...
The fate of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe is unknown...
Upon hearing the servants say that Xue Ye was dead, Bibi Dong abruptly opened her eyes and sat up straight.
After that, Bibi Dong's heart raced faster with each new piece of information she heard; she was quite surprised by the information.
Upon hearing that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe's fate was unknown, she immediately stood up, unaware that she had unleashed her aura and domain.
Bibi Dong asked with a slightly anxious tone, "Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, what's wrong?"
The servant was trembling on the ground, unable to speak. Realizing that she was out of control, Bibi Dong immediately withdrew her domain and aura.
The attendant, panting heavily, said, "The fate of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe is unknown. Some say he's dead, others say he was rescued. We are trying our best to gather information, but we don't know the specifics yet..."
Bibi Dong then asked, "Who did this? Has it been found out?"
Attendant: "The intelligence department has made some progress. It seems to be a Soul Master Chen Mo who did it, along with Lin Yaodong, Xiao Wu, and Chen Mo's sister Chen Mo..."
Bibi Dong frowned. "Seems? I need a definite answer. Pass down the order to the intelligence department to find out the whole story as quickly as possible, immediately!"
Attendant: "Yes, Your Majesty, I shall take my leave."
After the attendants left, Bibi Dong soon departed the Pope Hall, heading towards the Worship Hall...
Besides the Spirit Hall, other major forces are also investigating the whole story.
Meanwhile, information about Chen Mo and his three companions was gradually uncovered.
The message is slowly spreading and gaining traction.
Some regard Chen Mo as the Sun God, a deity walking among humans, after all, the light produced by the explosion of Apollo in Heaven Dou City was like a sun falling to earth.
Lin Yaodong is considered by many to be the guardian of the gods— the Saber Emperor.
Because Lin Yaodong always used a knife as his weapon, and because of his superb knife skills and great strength, he was known as the Saber Emperor".
Of course, there was also a hint of flattery in it, referring to the "King of Blades."
Xiao Wu is also considered a guardian of the gods, but her nickname isn't very flattering, so let's not mention it.
As for his younger sister Chen Mo, because she and Chen Mo were siblings, no one dared to speculate about her, let alone give her a nickname.
After their trip to Heaven Dou City, Chen Mo and his three companions returned to their dojo.
After a good rest, and clearing away some residual toxins from their bodies, everyone had taken quite a few pills during the previous battle.
If not addressed promptly, the cumulative effect could negatively impact future development.
Chen Mo was aware of the rumors circulating outside, but he didn't pay much attention to them.
More than a month passed. After the major forces had roughly figured out his background and experiences, Chen Mo took Lin Yaodong and left the dojo, leaving Xiao Wu and his parents behind.
Chen Mo Chen Mo crippled the Heaven Dou Empire, one of the three overlords of the Douluo Continent. He also intends to pay a visit to the other two overlord-level forces Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire.
Originally, Chen Mo planned to visit the three major powers after Lin Yaodong reached level 40 and acquired a Soul Ring to become Soul Ancestor. His main goal was to gain their respect and demonstrate his strength to intimidate them.
This way, Lin Yaodong will be more cautious when challenging powerful figures, and won't bully the weak; otherwise, he will be very angry.
Before Lin Yaodong even reached level 40, the Heaven Dou Empire had already provoked Chen Mo's wrath.
Now that the Heaven Dou Empire is unlikely to provoke me again, I can take advantage of this momentum to visit the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire one by one.
So this time I only brought Lin Yaodong with me.
He can also become a familiar face, so that even if he causes trouble, no one will dare to touch him.
Although Chen Mo had given Lin Yaodong a life-saving item long ago, Chen Mo himself lacked it, so he tried to save it as much as possible.
