Douluo Continent: The creation of Jixia Academy made Bibi Dong drool with envy.

Chapter 130 The Evil Soul Master Appears, Star Luo Falls
The two were plunged into an unprecedented struggle and pain.

On one side is their teacher, whose kindness is as heavy as a mountain, and the last glimmer of hope for the revival of the Tang Clan.

On the other side lies the glory of our ancestors and the name of our sect, passed down for millennia.

To give up, or to persevere?!

Just as the two were caught in a whirlwind of emotions, unable to make a decision.

"Cough cough..."

A very faint cough suddenly came from the simple wooden bed.

The Tang Clan leader, who had been on the verge of death, slowly opened his cloudy eyes.

He looked at Bei Bei and Tang Ya kneeling on the ground, their faces full of pain, and then glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, who stood beside him with an ethereal and otherworldly air, like a fairy.

His chapped lips trembled slightly as he used his last bit of strength to utter a hoarse yet incredibly clear sound.

"Silly...silly child..."

"Promise...them..."

"The future of the Tang Sect..."

"Perhaps... I shouldn't have been... confined to this small... courtyard in the first place..."

After saying that, he fainted again.

But his words struck Beibei and Tangya like a heavy hammer!

Yes…

The teacher is right.

What exactly is it that they have been so persistently holding onto all this time?
Is it that long-vanished, empty reputation? Or is it this dilapidated ancestral home?
Do not!
What they truly want to uphold is the Tang Clan's spirit of fearlessly protecting the weak and defying the powerful!

It is the Tang Clan's secret weapon technique, which is enough to make even the gods take notice!

Now, a more powerful, more mysterious, and more… infinitely possible “Jixia” has opened its doors to them.

This may not be the end for the Tang Clan.

Instead, it's... a new beginning, a rebirth from the ashes, in a different way!
Having figured this out, all the hesitation and struggle in Beibei and Tangya's eyes transformed into an unprecedented determination.

The two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously looked at Shangguan Wan'er with heavy, deep...

Kowtow!

"The Tang Clan is willing to... submit to the Jixia Academy!"

……

Half an hour later.

The "Tang Clan" plaque, which symbolized the Tang Clan's eternal glory but was already covered in thick dust, was personally removed by Bei Bei.

All of the Tang Clan's hidden weapon diagrams and martial arts manuals were sealed away and handed over to Shangguan Wan'er to take back.

And at the very moment the transaction was completed!
Far away in the New King's Continent, Yan Boshan of the Jixia Academy could clearly feel a vast world fortune, purer and more imbued with "historical depth" than ever before, surging wildly into the core of his Ark from that parallel Douluo world!
"Very good, the Tang Clan's fortune... is in hand."

Yan Boshan's lips curled up slightly, and his eyes gleamed with satisfaction.

However, just as he was about to order Electrolux to begin performing the "Resurrection Technique" on the Tang Clan leader.

An extremely powerful energy fluctuation, yet filled with violence and an ominous aura, suddenly shot into the sky from another direction of Star Luo City without warning!

That aura... was evil, chaotic, and filled with a thirst for blood and souls!

"Ok?"

Yan Boshan frowned slightly.

"Is he an evil spirit master?"

"Moreover...it seems to be connected to the Star Luo Royal Family?" Chapter 132 The White Tiger's Shocking Change, The Evil Soul Master's Scheme

Xingluo City, deep within the imperial palace.

Inside a heavily guarded secret underground palace, shrouded in a chilling atmosphere year-round.

Xu Jiawei, the current emperor of the Star Luo Empire, was staring solemnly at the eerie altar in the center of the underground palace, which was constructed from countless white bones and dark red crystals.

On the altar, a huge, malevolent rune drawn from viscous blood slowly rotated, emanating a nauseating aura of blood and venom.

In the four corners of the altar, four soul masters, their auras weak and their eyes filled with terror and despair, were bound together.

Their soul power is being constantly drained and devoured by those evil runes.

"Your Excellency, is everything... all prepared?"

Xu Jiawei asked in an almost humble tone to a mysterious figure beside the altar, a figure draped in a wide black robe, shrouded in shadow, with only a pair of eyes flashing with scarlet light.

"Your Majesty, don't worry."

The figure in black robes let out a hoarse, unpleasant laugh, like that of a night owl.

"Once the soul power of these four good-for-nothings is drained, and their souls are used as a catalyst, the 'Blood Soul Fusion Heaven Array' can be initially activated."

"At that time, all we need to do is send those two little guys into the formation..."

The black-robed figure's crimson gaze, like that of a venomous snake, fell upon the other side of the underground palace.

There, in two separate cages, were imprisoned a young man whose face resembled Dai Hao's by seven or eight points, but whose temperament was more effeminate and ruthless, and... a beautiful woman with a seductive figure and eyes as venomous as a scorpion.

It was Dai Huabin, the younger brother of Dai Hao, the Duke of White Tiger!
And his venomous fiancée, Zhu Lu!
"As long as we forcibly fuse their White Tiger and Netherworld Cat martial soul powers through a grand formation, and use their resentment and unwillingness as a catalyst..."

The black-robed national advisor's voice grew increasingly fanatical and greedy.

"We can then artificially create that legendary... Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Netherworld White Tiger!"

"At that time, we will infuse this Netherworld White Tiger power, which combines resentment and evil spirits, into Prince Yaoheng's body..."

"Hehehe...Your Majesty, what terrifying level of power do you think a new generation of White Tiger Duke, who can perfectly control the Netherworld White Tiger and possesses some of the characteristics of an evil soul master, will reach?"

"And how utterly loyal he will be to my Holy Fire Cult and to Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiawei's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible hint of apprehension, but more than that, they revealed an undisguised excitement and ambition.

That's right!

This was the secret deal he made with the Holy Fire Cult, the most mysterious and evil evil spirit master organization on the continent!
He helped the Holy Fire Cult secretly develop its influence within the Star Luo Empire, providing protection and even... offering "sacrifices" for blood sacrifices.

Meanwhile, the Holy Fire Cult used their unpredictable and sinister magic to help him... eliminate dissidents and consolidate his imperial power!

For example, there's the Duke of White Tiger, Dai Hao, whose achievements are so great that they threaten the emperor's authority, holding half of the empire's military power, and even showing signs of surpassing the emperor's own merits!

Dai Hao's presence had long been like a thorn in Xu Jiawei's side, making him restless and unable to eat or sleep.

However, he dared not act rashly, fearing it would cause a mutiny in the army and shake the foundation of the country.

The emergence of the Holy Fire Cult gave him a... permanent solution!

By using Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, two pawns who are also filled with jealousy and resentment towards Dai Yueheng, the evil Blood Soul Array can be used to forcibly generate the power of the Netherworld White Tiger and then infuse it into Dai Yueheng's body.

Therefore, although Dai Yueheng's strength will increase greatly as a result, he will also be corrupted by the evil soul's power, his mind will change drastically, and he will completely become a puppet under their control!
Then, they'll stage an "accident" so that Dai Hao "unfortunately" dies at the hands of his own son...

Then, the entire White Tiger Duke's mansion, and his invincible White Tiger Guard, will naturally fall into his control!
What a brilliant move, killing two birds with one stone, a vicious scheme to use someone else to do the dirty work!

Just as Xu Jiawei and the black-robed national advisor, each harboring their own ulterior motives, were envisioning a bright future,

Suddenly, the stone door of the underground palace was smashed open by a tremendous force!

"Father! Imperial Advisor! Something terrible has happened!"
