Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Zhu Zhuqing's heart trembled. She quickly turned around, activated her Martial Soul True Body, and fled swiftly through Star Luo City.

Unfortunately, even if she was an agility-type Soul Master, how could she escape the pursuit of two Title Douluos?

Tang San, without any restraint, swung his Clear Sky Hammer indiscriminately, completely disregarding the lives of the civilians. Sea Dragon Douluo's behavior was somewhat restrained, but it inevitably affected some civilians.

Zhu Zhuqing tried desperately to escape, but she couldn't escape Tang San's grasp at all.

She was filled with deep regret.

Back then, to protect Shrek Academy's spot in the Soul Master Competition, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, master and apprentice, dared to betray Ma Hongjun. Now, for power that's within their grasp, they're taking her life.

Zhu Zhuqing knew that the problem lay in her indecisiveness. If she had stuck to her own ideas back then and left Shrek Academy after Yu Xiaogang and his apprentice betrayed Ma Hongjun, she wouldn't be in her current predicament.

Alternatively, she should have agreed to the Spirit Hall's request when the spies contacted her earlier.

At least, someone from the Spirit Hall would come to her rescue at this point.

……

Zhu Zhuqing's own defense was very weak. When she was hit by Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer, her kneecaps were shattered. The intense pain made her lose consciousness and lose the ability to escape.

Tang San lunged forward and grabbed her by the throat. "Zhu Qing, remember to stand in the right place in your next life, and don't be as foolish as you are today!"

With a forceful pull on her wrist, Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed red, and she was speechless.

She struggled desperately, but it was all in vain against Tang San's power.

Out of consideration for their friendship, Tang San did not torture her further. He broke Zhu Zhuqing's neck with his Xuan Yu Hand and casually tossed her aside.

"Take her body and go settle accounts with the Zhu family!" Tang San snorted coldly, his aura overwhelming!

Above Xingluo City.

Wu Qi had been observing the situation inside Xingluo City.

With his strength, he could travel to any place on the Douluo Continent in the blink of an eye.

It has to be said that Tang San and the others put on quite a show. Wu Qi never expected that it would be Tang San who killed Zhu Zhuqing.

"A bunch of guys blinded by hatred."

In order to gain the power of revenge, Tang San even disregarded his friendship with his classmates. Such a ruthless person is unlikely to achieve great things.

As for Zhu Zhuqing's life or death, Wu Qi didn't care.

He had already given the other party a chance, but they hesitated and rejected his offer. Since that was the case, there was no need for him to keep trying.

Zhu Zhuqing is not a child; she needs to pay the price for her choices.

Seeing that all of the Spirit Hall's assets had been withdrawn, Wu Qi lost interest in watching Tang San and the others fight like dogs and disappeared into the night sky.

……

The palace hall.

The high-ranking officials residing in Xingluo City were summoned by the palace guards one after another.

Of course, all the officials who had secretly sided with the Spirit Hall had already withdrawn. Although Tang Xiao didn't want to let them go, they were already far away, and he couldn't spare any manpower to pursue them. Inside the main hall, Dai Mubai recounted the scene that had just unfolded in the palace, "My esteemed ministers, Davis, in collusion with the Spirit Hall and the powerful figures of the Heaven Dou Empire, launched a night attack on the palace. Upon receiving the news, I led the powerful figures of the Clear Sky Sect to provide support. Unfortunately, we were too late. The traitor murdered my father, and Davis even attempted to ascend the throne. Fortunately, Sect Master Tang intervened decisively, thwarting Davis's conspiracy."

Hearing Dai Mubai's explanation, the officials were inwardly skeptical, especially Davis's supporters, who openly expressed their disbelief.

Only a few quarters of an hour have passed since the commotion originated from the palace. According to Dai Mubai's fabricated story, could such a feat have been accomplished in such a short time?

Furthermore, among these high-ranking officials were many powerful individuals with profound cultivation, who had already sensed the situation within the palace.

When Dai Tianfeng made his move, the powerful figures of the Haotian Sect also attacked simultaneously. There was no one else present, so the truth behind the palace coup was that Dai Mubai colluded with the Haotian Sect to carry it out.

Soon, a high-ranking official stepped forward and said, "I wonder who the thief Your Highness Dai Mubai is referring to is! Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. The Spirit Hall, in collusion with the Heaven Dou Empire's powerful figures, attacked His Majesty. They must give an explanation."

Since the reason was fabricated, how could Dai Mubai really point the finger at the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire?
Furthermore, the Clear Sky Sect originally planned to unite with the Heaven Dou Empire to take revenge on the Spirit Hall.

Dai Mubai's reason was that after destroying the Spirit Hall, he would have an excuse to launch an attack on the Heaven Dou Empire.

The timing is wrong; how can you use this as a pretext?

The identity of the person who spoke greatly displeased Dai Mubai.

This high-ranking official was one of Dai Mubai's staunch supporters, yet he was questioning him at this moment?
Seeing that Dai Mubai was about to get angry, Tang Xiao immediately said, "When we arrived, the people from the Spirit Hall had already succeeded. Among them was Ghost Leopard Douluo. Later, the Spirit Hall's experts were no match for us and were defeated. They then fled the palace with Davis."

The minister persisted, pressing further: "You say it was Davis who did it? But His Highness Davis's residence is not far from my mansion. When the coup began, His Highness Davis was still at his mansion!"

"Then may I ask, how does His Highness Davis remotely command the powerful figures of the Spirit Hall? And how does he arrive at the palace in an instant?"

He personally witnessed Davis leaving Star Luo City with the people of the Spirit Hall.

If it was truly the Spirit Hall that was behind this, shouldn't they have escorted Davis into the palace and allowed him to ascend the throne before the spirit tablet?

This minister joined Dai Mubai's ranks simply because he had joined Davis too late and felt he wouldn't get much benefit from it.

Dai Mubai had never discussed the palace coup with his supporters, nor had he even given them a heads-up beforehand, clearly showing that he did not take them seriously.

If such a person becomes emperor, his supporters will not only fail to contribute to the rise of the new emperor, but will also become the first to be purged.

His family had been arranged to leave with the Spirit Hall's team. He was ready to risk everything, even if it meant death, to let the world see the true colors of Dai Mubai and the Clear Sky Sect!

Tang Xiao knew the saying that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make. He snorted coldly and, at Dai Mubai's instruction, swung the Haotian Hammer and smashed the minister to death!

"this!"

Tang Xiao's sudden murder left the officials present feeling deeply offended.

Some of the bolder individuals criticized Dai Mubai, but unsurprisingly, they were suppressed by Tang Xiao!
For a time, the officials dared not speak out in anger, and in order to protect their own positions, they all echoed Dai Mubai's explanation.

Seeing that the ministers had given in, Dai Mubai laughed and said, "A country cannot be without a ruler for a day. From this moment on, I will ascend the throne. As for my father's remains, I have already arranged for them to be collected."

"However, for now, the thief is still at large, and Father's body is not yet cold. I will hold a funeral for Father after I kill the murderer!"

"My beloved ministers, I am willing for you to rule the world together. However, you must also put my mind at ease. From this day forward, your wives and sons shall come and stay in the palace for a while. Do you understand?"

Unable to object, the ministers could only agree, "Your Majesty is wise!" (End of Chapter)
