Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 466, Section 485: Chaos Across the Land
After Chen Xin left, Ning Fengzhi came to Yu Xiaogang to comfort the heartbroken man:

"Alliance Leader Xiao Gang, I deeply sympathize with your unfortunate situation, but I believe your most urgent task is to stop the drop in your level. When your disciple returns as a god, won't all your problems be solved?"

Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Yu Xiaogang's ashen face regained its color, and his eyes lit up: "Yes, you're right. I still have Xiaosan. Once Xiaosan becomes a god, all my problems will be solved. Not only that, I can also become a god emperor, wield the power of the god realm, manipulate the fate of all living beings, and enjoy eternal life."

Yu Xiaogang hurriedly took out a ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum from his soul guide ring, chewed it down in a few bites, and the next moment, Yu Xiaogang's stomach swelled up as the medicinal power of the precious ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum was transformed into the purest stench of a fart and released by Yu Xiaogang.

A satisfied expression appeared on the man's face as he thought happily: Ah, it feels so good to fart without worrying about losing levels.

After a while, Chenxin returned with the battered and bruised ancient banyan tree.

Ning Fengzhi quickly activated the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda to heal the injuries on Gu Rong and Yu Xiaogang's ears.

At this moment, the ancient banyan tree lost one eye and became a one-eyed dragon.

"Uncle Gu, I'm sorry, we're late," Ning Fengzhi said apologetically.

"Sect Master, don't worry about it. I'm already very grateful that you came to rescue me. That kid is incredibly strange. Although he's two levels lower than me, his overall strength is no weaker than mine, and he also possesses an offensive soul tool. If you had arrived any later, I might have been done for." Gu Rong said with a pounding heart.

Ning Fengzhi said in shock, "An offensive soul tool? I never expected that these rebels would possess such a lost technology. The current situation is extremely unfavorable for us. The most urgent thing is to retreat first and then make other plans."

With the help of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Yu Xiaogang gathered a portion of the remaining soldiers and escaped back to the Allied Forces headquarters.

In this campaign to suppress the Lilun Plain, a total of 600,000 troops from four routes were dispatched to crush the rebels. However, they suffered a crushing defeat. The four armies were routed at the very beginning of the battle, either annihilated, captured, or defected on the spot.

In the end, only 20,000 to 30,000 men escaped.

After this battle, the Heavenly Dou Empire was severely weakened and no longer able to cope with the increasingly powerful army of the Lilun Plains.

The entire alliance headquarters was shrouded in gloom!
"I never imagined that the Starfire faction, besides possessing the technology to bestow martial souls, also had the ancient, lost soul tool technology," Yu Yuanzhen said in surprise.

"Alliance Leader, our top priority right now is to infiltrate Starfire Academy. Ideally, we should also master this soul tool technology. Otherwise, the battlefield will be extremely disadvantageous for us," Ning Fengzhi said.

Xue Qinghe said, "Soul tools are indeed a weakness we need to address, but we don't have time anymore. The war has already broken out, and the Heaven Dou Empire has been severely weakened after this battle, making it difficult to mobilize an army of millions."

The defeat in this battle left Yu Xiaogang utterly humiliated. His face contorted with rage, he roared, "The Heavenly Dou Empire has hundreds of millions of 'gray animals' throughout its ranks. Mobilize more of these 'gray animals'! If one million aren't enough, then ten million! Let's see whether these rebels have more ammunition or we have more 'gray animals'!"

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's remarks, the officials of the Heavenly Dou Empire were speechless. The empire was already in a chaotic situation, and if Yu Xiaogang continued to act recklessly, it would likely plunge the world into chaos.

The problem is that the newly appointed emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe, is a staunch supporter of Yu Xiaogang's policies. Yu Xiaogang demanded that the Heaven Dou Empire mobilize more "gray animals" (unemployed laborers), and upon returning, Xue Qinghe immediately began a policy of aggressive military expansion, recruiting large numbers of these "gray animals" and plundering even more of the people's wealth.

Doing this will naturally lead to chaos throughout the land.

In the Otto Province in the southern part of the Heaven Dou Empire, three brothers stepped forward, wearing yellow turbans, and gathered a crowd of people.

The eldest brother stepped forward, raised his hands high, and said, "The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise; in the year of Jiazi, great fortune will come to the world."

He gathered millions of people around him and launched the massive Yellow Turban Rebellion. The rebel army immediately joined the Spark Resistance Front and successively captured key cities and strongholds of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

The Meng River flows through several provinces on both sides of the Tiandou Empire. A group of people dug up a stone figure on the riverbank. On the stone figure was written a sentence: "Don't say that the stone figure only has one eye, for it will stir up rebellion across the world."

This statement, like a command, sparked a massive uprising on both banks of the Meng River. The rebels wore red cloth on their heads, hence the name Red Turban Army.

Dozens of uprisings, large and small, broke out in the Heavenly Dou Empire. Xue Qinghe dispatched large armies to suppress them in various places. The rebels were either defeated by the rebels or defected to join them in conquering cities and territories.

The entire Heavenly Dou Empire was plunged into turmoil.

The situation in the Star Luo Empire, which is relatively stable next to the Heaven Dou Empire, is not very good either.

A few years ago, a salt smuggler in Xingluo City, the capital of Xingluo, wrote a poem: When autumn comes on the eighth day of the ninth month, my flowers bloom and all other flowers wither. The fragrance soars to the sky and permeates Xingluo, and the whole city is adorned with golden armor.

Dai Tianfeng immediately ordered the arrest of this troublemaker who dared to compose a rebellious poem. The man disappeared without a trace. When he reappeared, he had become the leader of the Xingluo Uprising Army. Together with a post station worker, he launched a massive uprising.

Upon learning of the rebellious army within the country, Dai Tianfeng immediately mobilized his most elite White Tiger Legion and its various forces to suppress the rebellious forces within Xingluo.

However, in this battle, the Star Luo Empire suffered a crushing defeat, and the White Tiger Legion experienced a devastating blow that shattered its lineage.

After this battle, the Star Luo army's control over the country weakened, and uprisings broke out in various places. They successively captured cities and key locations. Every time they conquered a place, they would find the family genealogy of the local nobles and cut them down one by one according to the genealogy. Countless heads were lost in the process.

As the Heavenly Dou Empire teetered on the brink of collapse, the Star Luo Empire also began to falter.

During this period, numerous kingdoms, duchies, and other large and small powers were destroyed.

Alliance Headquarters
Seeing the unfavorable battle reports from various places, Gangzi was completely stunned. He gripped his crew cut with both hands, his eyes bloodshot, and roared angrily:
"You damned mob, wouldn't it be better to just be obedient, lowly beasts? Weren't you born to be inferior? Is it so hard to admit you're lowly? Wouldn't it be better to obediently accept the rule of those of noble blood? Why did you rebel? Why—"
