Douluo: I Have an Unnamed Law

Chapter 336 The army is defeated, Xue Xing dies

Chen Xin asked, "So, Feng Zhi, you mean, to remain still?"

“That’s right, don’t move, and don’t move.” Ning Fengzhi nodded solemnly.

As the head of a sect, Ning Fengzhi would naturally not defy the prevailing trend for the sake of current interests. Moreover, this was only after he saw even greater benefits. How to choose was self-evident.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's choice remained unchanged. Even though its interests in the Heaven Dou Empire were enormous, Ning Fengzhi did not oppose the Spirit Hall because of this.

The mainland today is no longer what it was a decade or two ago. Now, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan has been destroyed, the Clear Sky Sect has gone into seclusion, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School stands alone. It is impossible for them to fight against the Spirit Hall.

It wasn't that Ning Fengzhi looked down on the other sects and the two great empires; it was simply that none of these forces were truly capable of fighting. Even if they were all combined, they might not be enough to defeat Uncle Jian, let alone the bunch of Super Douluo from the Spirit Hall.

At Jialing Pass, an army of 400,000 men besieged the city. Before they could even begin their attack, their commander was bound hand and foot and thrown off the city wall by his lieutenants, who sealed his soul power.

"We have been waiting here for the Heavenly Soldiers of the Spirit Hall for many days. This is Wang Defa, the commander of Jialing Pass."

"Uh, Master, this..."

Shi Dong looked at Gu Han to the side, wanting to ask his master if the other party was cheating.
Gu Han flew into the sky and looked at the city gate. Although there were soldiers guarding it, he did not see any defensive equipment, either inside the city or on the city wall.

mutiny!

This was Gu Han's first reaction, but to avoid any trickery from the other side, Gu Han ordered the army to be on high alert and entered the city gate alone.

"Elder Judge, this is the garrison commander of Jialing Pass."

Gu Han glanced slightly at the deputy general. The armor of the armies of the two great empires was divided according to rank. This man was wearing a platinum-gold Qilin armor with a black cloak on his back. This was the kind of armor that only the second-in-command of the army could wear.

Wang Defa was pinned down by two soldiers, unable to break free no matter what he did. He glared at the deputy general who was bowing and clasping his hands in front of Gu Han and cursed, "Chang Wei, you shameless scoundrel, you betrayed the empire, you deserve to die a horrible death!!"

"Hmph, Wang Defa, you're wrong."

Chang Wei snorted coldly, then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Gu Han.

"I, Chang Wei, come from a poor family. When I was a child, my family was destitute. If it weren't for the Soul Masters of the Spirit Hall who helped me awaken my Martial Soul and the monthly Soul Master subsidy they gave me, would I, Chang Wei, be where I am today?"

"What about the Empire's support for you? Those subsidies were all provided by the Empire; the Spirit Hall was just acting as a middleman!" Wang Defa retorted angrily.

"That was obtained for us by the Spirit Hall. You bunch of bastards only know how to suck blood. If it weren't for the Spirit Hall's power, would this corrupt empire ever give money to us poor people?"

"But then again, if I were you, I wouldn't take a single penny either. After all, I have money but I don't use it for my own development. Why would I give money to strangers every month? I'm not sick."

"Since you know all this, why do you support the Spirit Hall?" Wang Defa gritted his teeth. "Besides, you are also a Soul Master, and now a Soul Emperor with a bright future. You are even capable of establishing your own family. The Spirit Hall asks for money every month, and it's given to a bunch of strangers. You shouldn't be aiding and abetting evil!"

"Hehe~" Chang Wei suddenly chuckled, his eyes filled with contempt. He squatted down and said in a low voice, "Because I was originally a member of the Spirit Hall."

Wang Defa's eyes widened suddenly, his pupils trembled violently, and he was filled with disbelief.

"What did you say?" "Don't you understand?" Chang Wei stood up and said loudly, "I, Chang Wei, am originally a member of the Spirit Hall, so how can I be accused of betraying Heaven Dou?"

Gu Han raised an eyebrow slightly. He knew that the Spirit Hall had infiltrated the Heaven Dou Army, but he didn't know that there was such a high-ranking undercover agent.

He re-examined the general who called himself Chang Wei. The man looked to be in his thirties, but Soul Masters age more slowly, so his real age should be between forty and fifty.

"Your name is Chang Wei, right?"

Upon hearing this, Chang Wei immediately clasped his hands respectfully to Gu Han and said, "Reporting to the Elder of the Arbitration, this humble general is indeed Chang Wei."

Gu Han patted the other person on the shoulder: "You are very good. And you generals, you have made contributions to the uprising. My Spirit Hall will naturally not treat you harshly. However, before that, you must hand over your military tokens to me. Otherwise, I will not be able to handle it."

"It's natural."

Chang Wei nodded and took the lead in handing over his military tally, as well as a black jade tiger tally.

"Elder Judge, this is the tiger tally of the commander of Jialing Pass. Please take a look."

Gu Han took the tiger tally and nodded.

After confirming that there were no tricks or ambushes, Gu Han then allowed Shi Dong and Dongfang Lingyun to lead their troops into the city and take over all positions.

Thus, the Spirit Hall captured Jialing Pass without losing a single soldier.

The army that went to suppress the rebellion in Longcheng also encountered unprecedented obstacles. Although the army numbered 500,000 and was very powerful, after the commander-in-chief was shot dead by Guangling with an arrow, the entire army was leaderless. None of the deputy generals were willing to submit to each other, and the morale of the troops below was also low.

This caused the army to fall into chaos, which allowed them to exploit weaknesses and be routed.

The army was defeated like a landslide, and with the tide turned against them, the Tian Dou army had no choice but to retreat in disarray.

When news of the fall of Jialing Pass and the defeat of the army in Longcheng reached Tiandou City, Xuexing could no longer hold on. Under the multiple blows, she fell ill again and died a month later.

The ministers enthroned the eight-year-old Crown Prince Xue Beng as emperor. (Too lazy to come up with a name, but I think the two in the original story are quite compatible, so let's just say they're father and son.)
"Alas, Tian Dou is doomed."

This was the first thought of all the forces, and even their court officials thought so. However, even so, many of the Tian Dou court officials were inclined to seek personal gain while in office. The fall of Tian Dou meant nothing to them; at most, a new dynasty would take its place.

Therefore, for a period of time afterward, the ministers in the Tiandou court were simultaneously looking for a way out for themselves and frantically accumulating wealth.

During this period, officials from the various duchies, the Star Dou Kingdom, and the Spirit Hall were constantly making secret contacts.

The major powers naturally wouldn't let these pigs who willingly offered themselves up pass by, and the Spirit Hall was no exception. However, Gu Han wouldn't let these parasites actually enter the Spirit Hall. Instead, he prepared a list and, once the pigs had arrived enough, he would discard them like used millstones.

During this period, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been gradually withdrawing from the Heaven Dou Dynasty, leaving only a few people in important positions. Ning Fengzhi plans to let these people continue to stay in the Heaven Dou Dynasty. When the Spirit Hall really attacks Heaven Dou City, they will then present their treasures as a gift.
