Douluo Continent: Five Thunders Shake the Drums, I am the Thunder Emperor!

Chapter 116 A Feast for the Senses on a Snowy Night? Yu Yuanzhen's Secret Letter!

"grandfather……"

Sikong Zhen spoke in a low, calm voice, "What Uncle Zhou said is not entirely unreasonable. His Majesty has gone too far."

Sikong Mingde looked at him and nodded. "Continue."

Sikong Zhen continued, "Xue Ye has long been wary of our Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion. This time, he used Xingluo to weaken us. If we swallow our anger, he will only become more aggressive next time."

"But what if we rebel..."

Sikong Mingde said in a low voice, "Tian Dou will inevitably be in turmoil. At that time, the Xingluo army will take advantage of the situation and invade. It will be the common people who suffer."

"Master Hou!"

Zhou Lie said urgently, "If we don't rebel, we will be gradually devoured by Xueye sooner or later! When that happens, who will protect the people on this frontier?"

"Are we relying on that tyrannical, incompetent snowy night? Or on those nobles?"

Sikong Mingde remained silent.

His fingers slowly tightened, his knuckles turning white.

Rebellion means a complete break with the Heavenly Dou royal family, and if the situation cannot be quickly brought under control, war will spread throughout the entire empire.

But if they don't rebel... the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion will continue to be suppressed by Xueye!
"Report! Urgent dispatch from the capital!"

Another messenger rushed in, carrying a jade slip sealed with gold lettering.

Sikong Zhen took it and handed it to his grandfather.

Sikong Mingde unfolded the jade slip, which contained only a short line of text:

"You have rendered meritorious service in protecting the country. In three days, bring your grandson to the palace to receive your reward."

The bright red jade seal mark at the end of the signature, however, looked to Sikong Mingde like a smear of blood that had not yet dried.

Sikong Zhen and his grandfather exchanged a glance, both seeing a deep chill in each other's eyes.

This is not a reward, it's clearly...
"A trap."

Sikong Mingde sighed softly, placed a hand on Sikong Zhen's shoulder, and changed the subject, saying, "Zhen'er, do you want to be the emperor?"

"Ok?"

Sikong Zhen was taken aback. "Grandpa, even if it's a rebellion, you should be the emperor."

Sikong Zhen was never a pedantic person.

What he wanted was to protect the city and bring peace and happiness to the people, not to be loyal to the Tiandou royal family, so he naturally didn't mind rebelling.

But when it comes to becoming emperor, Sikong Zhen's desire wasn't so strong.

As things stand,
Sikong Zhen wanted his grandfather to become emperor, so he focused on cultivating, completing the Nine Trials of the Thunder God, and inheriting the Thunder God's legacy and creating his own divine position as soon as possible!
"Zhen'er, there's no rush. We can talk about it later."

Sikong Mingde's hand left Sikong Zhen's shoulder, and lightning danced between his fingers.

Then, he turned to Zhou Lie and said in a deep, rumbling voice, "Order the entire army to speed up the treatment of wounded soldiers and enter a state of combat readiness."

"Send out all scouts to keep an eye on every official road in the direction of Tiandou City."

"I will finally understand!"

A sharp light flashed in Zhou Lie's eyes, and his armor clanged as he clasped his hands in a fist salute.

After Zhou Lie withdrew,
Just as Sikong Mingde was about to write a letter instructing Yu Yuanzhen to send someone to keep an eye on the Tiandou Imperial Palace, a cry suddenly rang out from above the Marquis's residence.

The cry tore through the night sky, and a thunderbird with a wingspan of three meters swooped down.

A scroll of letters was clutched between its sharp claws.

Sikong Zhen raised his hand to catch it and saw the blue lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex logo on it.

"Grandpa, here you go."

"Ah."

Sikong Mingde took the message, opened it, and saw its contents.

"Mingde, something has happened in Tiandou City."

"Three days ago at midnight, two groups of people entered the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace. The first group was from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Clear Sky School, and the second group should be from the Spirit Hall!"

"Furthermore, Emperor Xueye has mobilized a large army from various regions and duchies to Tiandou City. His intentions are not hard to guess; they are aimed directly at the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence."

In the end, Yu Yuanzhen only said that the three parties should advance and retreat together.

After reading it, Sikong Mingde's eyes became extremely sharp.

With a slam of his fist on the table, the Title Douluo's soul power leaked out uncontrollably, causing all the glassware in the hall to shatter simultaneously.

"What a snowy night! Is this a case of annihilation?"

Sikong Zhen conjured a wisp of lightning at his fingertips, burning the letter to ashes.

Purple lightning crackled deep within his pupils, yet his voice remained unusually calm: "Grandpa, Xueye is determined to destroy my Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion."

Sikong Mingde stood with his back to the candlelight, casting a huge shadow on the wall. Suddenly, the old marquis raised his hand, and nine spirit rings lit up behind him in succession, with the outermost blood-red spirit ring suddenly bursting with dazzling light.

"Qihe!"

A dark figure appeared instantly behind Sikong Mingde and knelt on one knee.

This is the commander of Sikong Mingde's secret guards.

"Pass the order."

Sikong Mingde's voice rolled across the hall like muffled thunder, "Activate the 'Thunderclap' plan, activate all hidden agents."

Qi He shuddered, his knee pressing into the bluestone slab, creating spiderweb-like cracks. His eyes gleamed with excitement as he replied, "As you command!"

……

The outskirts of the Sunset Forest.

Dugu Bo was covered in blood, and his Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul True Body was covered in wounds.

Opposite him, Dai Jiuyou, the old elder of the Star Luo Empire's Hall of Worship, was coldly wiping the bloodstains from the tiger's claws.

Dai Jiuyou also had many scars on his body, but his eyes were extremely bloodthirsty.

It's a completely reckless fighting style!
Knowing that his strength was limited, Dai Jiuyou acted as if he were going crazy before his death. Despite being roughly equal in strength to Dugu Bo, he was able to overpower him.

"Dugu Bo, you won't get away."

Dai Jiuyou's true form as a white tiger shimmered with an eerie light in the darkness.

Dugu Bo spat out a mouthful of blood, his right hand stealthily reaching for the storage soul tool at his waist: "You think you can take advantage of me, you old codger?"

A cold glint flashed in Dai Jiuyou's eyes, and his eighth soul ring suddenly lit up: "White Tiger Rifts the Sky!"

Dai Jiuyou's White Tiger Rifting the Sky transformed into dozens of golden claw shadows, tearing apart ancient trees within a hundred meters radius, and rushing straight towards Dugu Bo.

The Azure Serpent King, transformed from Dugu Bo, had a surge of azure light in its eyes, and its ninth soul ring suddenly lit up.

"Ninth Soul Skill, Azure Phosphorescent Divine Light!"

A beam of emerald light shot into the sky and collided violently with the golden claw shadow.

The terrifying shockwave ripped up a three-zhang-deep wave of earth, and Dai Jiuyou was forced back seven steps, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Dugu Bo, you're asking for death!"

Dai Jiuyou roared and pounced again, but saw a gray light emanating from Dugu Bo's snake eyes.

"Medusa's Gaze!"

A burst of grayish-white petrifying light instantly struck the massive white tiger's true form, freezing Dai Jiuyou's charging figure in place.

His right claw was still in a lunging position, but the skin had begun to lithify.

"cough cough"

Dugu Bo staggered back two steps, clearly exhausted.

But at this moment he couldn't care less about his injuries. With a flick of his left hand, he threw out three drops of venom, which accurately pierced Dai Jiuyou's White Tiger True Form's eyes and throat.

This is the venom of the king of bamboo vipers—the nine-sectioned jadeite!

"Hahaha!"

Dugu Bo laughed twice, "Old man, let's see if you live or die now!"

After saying that, Dugu Bo flew away.

Dai Jiuyou was still petrified and struggling desperately.

Hundreds of miles away.

Dugu Bo staggered and landed.

"We must hurry." Dugu Bo swallowed a piece of Dragon Leaf and then sped off towards Tiandou City.

……

The dormitory area of ​​Tiandou Royal Academy was quiet late at night.

"Yanyan!"

Dugu Yan suddenly woke up from her dream and found her grandfather standing by her bedside, his body reeking of blood.

"Grandpa? What's wrong—"

"Don't ask any more questions. Call Yu Tianheng, and we'll head to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan immediately!" Dugu Bo said solemnly.

Sigh, I had already taken leave, but the editor said I can't update solo before it gets recommended, so I can only add one chapter.
