Douluo: Marry Shui Binger, reward Puni Martial Soul

Chapter 113: The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Enters the Star Luo
The bloody news of the destruction of the Haotian Sect spread like a hurricane across the world, reaching every corner of the Douluo Continent in just a few days.

This time, the entire Soul Master world was no longer simply shaken or terrified, but plunged into a suffocating silence.

The three upper sects, once the three pillars representing the most powerful forces in the Soul Master world, now have two gone.

The entire Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family was slaughtered, leaving no one alive.

The Haotian Sect, which had been sealed off for decades, still could not escape the calamity of annihilation. The sect leader, Tang Xiao, died in battle, and thousands of disciples were slaughtered.

The culprit behind all of this points to the same name—the new emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Lingxiao!
This name now seems to be a nightmare hanging over the heads of all Soul Masters, representing the ultimate in iron-bloodedness and the most cruel killing.

Those forces that had once harbored resentment towards Xue Lingxiao, or even secretly plotted against him, have now completely extinguished all thoughts. They are all silent and trembling, fearing that they will be the next to be purged.

Tiandou Palace, Imperial Study.

Xue Lingxiao sat upright on the dragon throne, calmly reviewing the memorials.

A shadow guard appeared silently below the prince and knelt on one knee.

"Your Majesty, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School secretly relocated its entire clan three days ago, and their destination... is suspected to be the Star Luo Empire."

Xue Lingxiao paused slightly in his vermilion brush, but did not look up. His voice was unreadable: "Escaped?"

"Yes. Ning Fengzhi acted decisively, clearing out the entire sect almost overnight, taking only the core disciples and important books and valuables with him," the shadow guard replied respectfully.

"Understood," Xue Lingxiao said calmly. "How are the battle losses on Zhao Zilong's side?"

"Your Majesty, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry attacked the Haotian Sect and only a hundred or so soldiers suffered minor injuries, with no casualties. The Haotian Sect's treasury has been inventoried, and the spoils were plentiful."

"Hmm." Xue Lingxiao nodded. "Send an order to Zhao Zilong: after these two battles, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry soldiers need a rest. Have them choose a place to camp outside Tiandou City, recuperate properly, and replenish their weapons and provisions. I still have a great use for them."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The shadow guard accepted the order and disappeared again.

Xue Lingxiao put down the vermilion brush, slowly got up, and walked to the window of the imperial study.

He gazed at the vast sky outside the window, a meaningful smile curving his lips.

Ning Fengzhi was smarter than Yu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiao; he knew to run away.

However, while the monk may escape, the temple cannot. The Star Luo Empire, perhaps?

Yeah.

This way, he can gather all these so-called "resistance forces" together, saving him the trouble of searching for them one by one.

Under his thunderous purge, two of the three upper sects of the Heavenly Dou Empire were gone, and the last one fled in panic. Those once deeply entrenched noble forces were either uprooted or tucked their tails between their legs, never daring to make the slightest move again.

The empire has now truly become Xue Lingxiao's personal fiefdom.

What he wanted was this absolute control.

……

Star Luo City, the capital of the Star Luo Empire.

Inside the palace, the atmosphere was solemn and dignified.

Emperor Dai Tianli of the Star Luo Empire, a middle-aged man with a dignified face and an imposing presence, was sitting on the throne that symbolized the highest power of the empire.

He wore an imperial robe embroidered with a white tiger totem, and his eyes, when they opened and closed, shone with a sharp light, exuding the domineering aura of someone who had long held a high position. His Highness was flanked by civil and military officials, each with a solemn expression.

"Your Majesty, Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School of the Heaven Dou Empire, along with Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and hundreds of core disciples, has arrived outside my Star Luo City and requests an audience," a messenger announced loudly as he strode into the hall.

Upon hearing this, Dai Tianli's eyes flashed with joy, but his face still maintained the majesty of an emperor.

"Oh? Ning Fengzhi?" He pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the civil and military officials below. "What are your opinions on this matter, my esteemed ministers?"

An elderly man with white hair and beard, dressed in the robes of a Grand Chancellor, stepped forward, bowed, and said, “Your Majesty, Ning Fengzhi is the sect leader of one of the three upper sects of the Heaven Dou Empire, and his support abilities are renowned throughout the world. Sword and Bone Douluo are among the top titled Douluo of our time. Their arrival must be because the new Heaven Dou Emperor, Xue Lingxiao, is ruthless and can no longer tolerate them. If we can recruit them to our Star Luo Empire, it would undoubtedly be a great boost to our empire.”

“What the Grand Preceptor says is very true.” Another military general stepped forward to agree. “Xue Lingxiao is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He slaughtered the Blue Lightning and Haotian sects and has now forced the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile sect to leave. His next step will definitely be to integrate the power of the Heavenly Dou and plot against our Xingluo. If we can get the help of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile sect, our chances of defeating Xue Lingxiao will increase.”

Dai Tianli nodded, having already made up his mind.

He already knew about Xue Lingxiao's actions in the Heaven Dou Empire through his spies.

He was filled with vigilance and apprehension towards this suddenly rising young emperor.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

He understands this principle better than anyone else.

"Very well!" Dai Tianli slammed his hand on the armrest of the dragon throne, his voice booming. "Issue my decree: I will personally travel ten miles outside the city to welcome Sect Leader Ning and his entourage! We will treat them with the highest honors befitting state guests!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" the civil and military officials responded in unison.

Half an hour later, at the ten-mile-long pavilion outside Xingluo City.

Dressed in casual clothes, Dai Tianli waited quietly, surrounded by his personal guards.

Soon, dust billowed in the distance, and a group of weary travelers appeared on the official road.

Leading the group was Ning Fengzhi, along with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo beside him.

Behind them were hundreds of core disciples who looked exhausted but still maintained the spirit of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Seeing that Dai Tianli had personally come out of the city to greet him, Ning Fengzhi felt a warmth in his heart. He quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School greets Your Majesty the Star Luo Emperor. I am deeply humbled by Your Majesty's humility in personally welcoming me."

"Sect Leader Ning, you flatter me!" Dai Tianli quickly stepped forward and personally helped Ning Fengzhi up, a sincere smile on his face. "Sect Leader and the two Douluo seniors are outstanding figures of our time. It is an honor for me and for the entire Star Luo Empire that you have deigned to grace our Star Luo Empire with your presence!"

He turned his gaze to Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, and also clasped his hands in greeting: "Junior Dai Tianli greets Senior Sword and Senior Bone."

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo nodded slightly: "Your Majesty is too kind."

After exchanging pleasantries, Dai Tianli took Ning Fengzhi's hand and said warmly, "Sect Leader Ning, I have long heard of your unparalleled talent. I wish to appoint you as the Grand Tutor of my Star Luo Empire, ranking above the Three Dukes, to assist me in handling state affairs. What do you think, Sect Leader?"

Grand Tutor!

Ranked above the Three Dukes!

Such a reward is truly immense!
Ning Fengzhi was shocked; he hadn't expected Dai Tianli to value him so much.

He bowed again, his tone sincere: "Your Majesty's favor is deeply appreciated. However, I am new to the Star Luo Empire and do not deserve such a heavy responsibility."
