Douluo: I am the outer demon

Chapter 179: The Wuhun Empire is established, attacking the Haotian Sect
When Tuoba Xi led everyone from the Spirit Hall to the Xingluo Palace to take over the empire, Zhu Hongyuan was already waiting there.

"Meet Elder Tuoba."

He looked at Tuoba Xi with a smile and a respectful expression.

"You did a good job this time. When I say a few good words to His Royal Highness the Saint, maybe I will call you Elder Zhu in the future."

Tuoba Xi had obviously known Zhu Hongyuan for a long time.

"Thank you, Elder Tuoba." Zhu Hongyuan was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. "Elder Tuoba, please, I have made a list of all the supplies in the palace, and I have also discovered the location of the Dai family's treasure house. I am just waiting for you to go and collect them."

He joined the Spirit Hall at a very early time, even much earlier than Ning Fengzhi.

Because of Zhu Zhuqing's relationship, he got in touch with Shang An, and was then successfully turned against by Shang An.

As for why the Zhu family, which is extremely powerful in Xingluo and has a close relationship with the Dai family, would betray Xingluo and the Dai family, there is a story behind this.

The system of Xingluo itself is very unfriendly to the Zhu family. When the Dai family has a prince, the Zhu family must pair him with a talented legitimate daughter, even if there is no such daughter at the time.

That would be fine, but the key point is that the Dai family’s system also forced the Zhu family to suffer fratricide from generation to generation.

They are all victims of the Dai family's struggle for imperial power. If the prince followed by a woman from the Zhu family fails in the struggle, she will not have a good ending.

Just like Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun are sisters, they are both his biological daughters. If possible, how could he be willing to see his daughters killing each other? However, due to the system of the Xingluo royal family, he has no choice.

Although he seemed to be the extremely favored Duke of the Underworld in Xing Luo, he was actually a father who couldn't even protect his daughter.

He didn't want the Zhu family to remain trapped in the Dai family's curse, so he was moved when Shang An said that.

Then, through Shang An's "inadvertent" display, he learned about the powerful strength of the Spirit Hall. It would not be difficult to destroy Xingluo at all. Moreover, the Spirit Hall had the ambition to unify the world. He certainly did not want the Zhu family to be buried with Xingluo and the Dai family.

What's more, his daughter has now joined the army of His Highness the Holy Son Shang An and has become his woman.

So whether for his daughter or for the Zhu family, he had to make a choice, which was to join the Spirit Hall.

From then on, Zhu Hongyuan became an important hidden chess piece planted by the Spirit Hall in the Star Luo Empire.

When the Spirit Hall was about to attack the Star Luo Empire, Zhu Hongyuan was well prepared and revealed various confidential information of Star Luo's military equipment and a list, which helped the Spirit Hall save a lot of trouble.

It was naturally Shang An’s arrangement that Zhu Hongyuan persuaded Dai Tianfeng to attack the Spirit Hall. However, this was not entirely due to Zhu Hongyuan’s credit. If Dai Tianfeng really did not have this idea, it would not have been possible even with Zhu Hongyuan’s persuasion.

As for why Shang An went to such great lengths, the reason was simply to find a better reason to start a war. With this reason, the people of the Star Luo Empire would naturally be much less resistant to the Spirit Hall.

Coupled with the Spirit Hall's long-term cultural invasion of Xing Luo, this also makes these people easier to manage, saving the Spirit Hall a lot of trouble.

There were no accidents in the handover of the Xingluo Empire. The bloodline of the royal Dai family was deceived and captured by Zhu Hongyuan in the name of Dai Tianfeng and imprisoned in the dungeon, including the eldest prince Davis.

These people were also handed over to Tuoba Xi.

"Zhu Hongyuan, you are ungrateful, colluding with foreign countries, and double-dealing. I used to trust you so much, you traitor!"

Davis looked at Zhu Hongyuan with resentment, wishing he could cut him into pieces.

"Weiss, don't blame me. I am doing this for my family, and I don't want to sacrifice my Zhu family's daughter again."

Zhu Hongyuan sighed and said with some complexity. After all, he was not born with a rebellious mind. If it were not for Xing Luo's system and the absolute advantage of Wuhun Hall, he would not be willing to go this far.

Davis had a ferocious and crazy look on his face: "Haha, your daughter of the Zhu family was born to be ridden by us. If I don't die this time, I will definitely destroy the Zhu family, slaughter the men and enslave the women, and play with them every day, hahahahaha."

Seeing Davis, who was obviously mentally unstable, Zhu Hongyuan's face turned cold, "We'll talk about it after you survive."

Then, this group of Xingluo royal family members were taken away by the Spirit Hall, escorted by two Titled Douluo.

As for Zhu Zhuyun, she was taken back to the Zhu family by Zhu Hongyuan with red eyes.

Many people in Xingluo were still a little confused about this. The empire was clearly at its peak before, so how could it change so quickly?

However, the Spirit Hall's propaganda offensive was very well-made, and most spirit masters had no resistance to the Spirit Hall due to their adaptive spirit ring crystals. Some even hoped that the Spirit Hall would come earlier and act as guides, so there was no trouble.

Those rebellious officials immediately announced their surrender after the Spirit Hall broke through the Xingluo Palace, and the soldiers gathered under their command were also accepted by the Spirit Hall. Because they were originally arranged and supported by the Spirit Hall, they naturally had no ability to resist the Spirit Hall.

After taking over the Xingluo Empire, the Spirit Hall officially announced the establishment of the Spirit Empire to the mainland, with Spirit City as the capital of the Spirit Empire, and announced that Pope Bibi Dong was the first emperor of the Spirit Empire.

The major forces reacted differently to this.

Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had known about the situation in the Spirit Hall for a long time and was not surprised. He sent someone to deliver a generous gift to congratulate the establishment of the Spirit Empire and expressed that he would attend Bibi Dong's coronation ceremony.

The officialdom of the Tiandou Empire was unexpectedly calm. After Emperor Xue Qinghe issued a bland condemnation statement, there was no follow-up.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan was still the same as before, but it recalled many of its disciples who were traveling outside, and was obviously wary of the Spirit Empire. The Clear Sky Clan's reaction was the greatest among all the sects.

The highest peak of Haotian Sect, inside Haotian Palace,

The only three remaining Titled Douluo in the sect sat together, each with a face as gloomy as water. Losing three titles at once was a huge loss that was difficult for the Haotian Sect to accept.

You must know that even the last time the Spirit Hall attacked the gate of the Haotian Sect, it only resulted in the death of one Titled Douluo, and that person was angered to death by Tang Hao, which means that there was no loss of Titled Douluo at that time.

If we don't count the low-level disciples and affiliated sects, the losses this time are much greater than that time.

The death of the three Titled Douluo also brought the Haotian Sect's long-prepared plan to come out of seclusion to an abrupt halt. They thought that the strength had been accumulated almost enough, and that the Haotian Sect could come out of seclusion again and regain the reputation of being the number one sect in the world by waiting for an opportunity.

I didn't expect that they would just send out three elders as a trial and then they would be able to establish a sect.

"No! Lao Qi and the others can't die in vain!"

The fourth elder slammed the table next to him and said angrily.

The elders had been friends for so many years, and they were all old brothers who trusted each other. He could not remain indifferent to the death of his brother.

"But what can we do?" The fifth elder sighed.

Although he was very sad about the death of several old brothers, he also knew that if the Haotian Sect went out to clash with the Spirit Hall now, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg.

"Revenge. We must make the Spirit Hall pay with blood." The fourth elder said fiercely.

Tang Xiao closed his eyes and sighed, then looked at the Fourth Elder and said, "Fourth Elder! The Spirit Hall is powerful, we need to be patient for the time being, let's put revenge aside for now."

"Master!" The fourth elder couldn't believe that these were the words Tang Xiao could say. He clenched his fists and veins bulged on his arms.

"I don't want to stay in this place any longer. If you don't help Lao Qi and the others to get revenge, I will go by myself!"

After saying that, the fourth elder stood up and walked towards the door.

But a tall figure blocked the door.

"Master, you are trying to stop me." The fourth elder stared at Tang Xiao in front of him with an unpleasant expression. "You were raised by us old guys. Now you don't want to help them get revenge, but you want to stop me from getting revenge?"

Tang Xiao was silent for a while, but still did not retreat, "Fourth Elder, please stay. The sect needs you."

How could he not want revenge? The elders were all his seniors. As the Fourth Elder said, they watched him grow up, and he dreamed of avenging them.

He also wanted to do the same as the Fourth Elder, regardless of the consequences, but he was the Sect Master, the Sect Master of the Haotian Sect. This position was not only an honor but also a responsibility, so he could not do that. He had to consider the entire sect.

"Hmph, what if I have to go today?" The fourth elder's tone gradually became impolite.

"I think you all should stay here today." An extremely discordant neutral voice came from outside the door, with a hint of teasing in the words.

Tang Xiao's face changed, and he looked behind him. He saw a "beautiful woman" with an Adam's apple walking in, covering her mouth with her hands. In her other hand, she was holding a disciple of the Haotian Sect, who looked like he was already dead.

Alarm bells suddenly rang in his heart, and the Clear Sky Hammer was already in his hand.

"Abao!"

The fourth elder's eyes instantly turned red when he looked at the corpse of the Haotian Sect disciple being carried.

That person was his son, his only son, Tang Bao, the second generation disciple of Haotian Sect.

"Hey, you know this guy? I'll give it to you. Take it!"

Ju Douluo waved his hand and threw the corpse in front of the fourth elder, saying provocatively.

"I want you to pay with your life!" The fourth elder's voice trembled, staring at Ju Douluo in front of him, holding the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, and nine soul rings appeared.

"Haotian Jiujue, Zhenzi Jue!"

The domineering and powerful Clear Sky Hammer was wielded by the Fourth Elder with all his strength, and the surrounding air was squeezed.

"The sixth soul skill, Golden Rui Flowing Clouds!"

The shadow of a strange and luxuriant chrysanthemum appeared in front of Ju Douluo, and countless golden lights slid down from the petals like flowing clouds in the sky and flew towards the fourth elder.

This beautiful move contains a fatal opportunity.

"Danger!"
