Immediately, a deep pit, several meters in size, appeared on the ground.
Tang Lan used her soul power to lift the middle-aged man into the air and gently place him at the bottom of the deep pit.
After the soil was restored, the boulder was slowly placed on top.
Then, the tip of the Overlord Spear swung, writing several large, elegant characters on the boulder: Tomb of the Loyal!
This person's loyalty to the Heavenly Soul Empire far surpasses that of his own life.
His perseverance until now, just to buy this woman more time, is truly admirable.
Tang Lan could tell that this guy was only holding on with his extremely strong willpower until the very end.
Even with his heart meridian severed, he continued to fight with all his might, having already surpassed the limits of humanity. "Uncle Hong, if I survive, I will make all those enemies pay the price in the future!"
The woman in black cried for a long time before finally standing up slowly at a certain moment.
There were still tear tracks on her face, but her eyes held a newfound determination.
That was the burning flame of revenge; it was anger and hatred that gradually changed her cowardly nature.
Although the surrounding light was still dim, Tang Lan could vaguely see the woman's face and features.
This woman was exceptionally beautiful. Although her otherworldly temperament was different from Tang Wutong's, it was equally captivating. It was a kind of aloof and unapproachable purity.
Her temperament and personality, almost the complete opposite of Tang Wutong's, made her radiate an attraction that was in no way inferior to Tang Wutong's.
But Tang Lan only glanced at it once before looking away.
The surrounding air was thick with the stench of blood. This Soul Saint fought desperately and killed many Soul Emperors and one Soul Saint.
"Let's go, this is no place to stay!"
Seeing that Tang Ya and the others were looking at him, Dang Lan immediately decided to lead everyone to change direction and head east overnight.
In this way, even if there are still skilled pursuers behind those men in black, they can avoid them.
They will only continue to chase after Shrek Academy and will not turn back.
"Aren't you going back to Shrek Academy? That direction seems to be the opposite!"
Watching everyone leave together, the woman in black robes stood there, somewhat puzzled and hesitant.
At this moment, she gradually became wary of Tang Lan and the others, having witnessed too much betrayal and death along the way.
It seems that even her protectors and family members want her dead.
"Don't worry, we're not lying to you. But we're not heading to Shrek Academy right now. We just came from Shrek Academy and are heading to Luling County."
"I suggest you come with us; that way, you'll distract them."
"How about we return to Shrek Academy within two months?"
"These are the medals of Shrek Academy's inner court students. You can trust us!"
Tang Lan looked at the woman in black robes in front of her, then took out the medal from her pocket.
"My name is Vena, a princess of the old royal family of the Heavenly Soul Empire. This time, I was chased here by people sent by the new royal family led by the Empress."
"It wasn't just me; most of the former royal family members within the capital city were either captured or killed by them."
“I am willing to follow you if you want to take me with you.”
Wiener looked at Tang Lan with unwavering eyes; she could tell that Tang Lan was the leader of these people.
She was also the strongest among them all, because the image of Tang Lan slaying those Soul Emperors and Soul Saints as if cutting melons and vegetables still echoed in her mind.
This boy, who looks much younger than her, actually possesses such strength.
No wonder her elders thought of sending her to Shrek Academy in the most critical moment.
"This place is quite far from where we fought before, so they probably won't find us here."
"Everyone, let's quickly set up our tents and rest!"
Tang Lan released her powerful divine sense to scan a radius of twenty miles, and only after finding nothing amiss did she order everyone to stop.
That night, everyone took turns on duty in pairs to prevent anyone from sneaking close.
Even so, Tang Lan's vigilance remained undiminished, and her senses were kept fully alert. (End of Chapter)
Chapter 925 Royal Power and the Divine Realm's Mystery
The night was unusually quiet, with only the sound of a pipa coming from the campfire, but no men in black came.
Clearly, Tang Lan guessed correctly.
As dawn broke, everyone had finished getting ready to set off.
Although the rest time last night was not long, it was enough for the physical condition of all the Soul Masters.
The mental recovery effect of a Soul Master meditating and dreaming is much faster than that of sleeping.
Vina got into Tang Lan's carriage, changing the original three women and one man into four women and one man.
Even Tang Lan couldn't help but admire Venus after she took off her black robe.
Her long, silvery-white hair was casually draped behind her head, and it was still eye-catching even without any styling.
The white robe she wore could not conceal her graceful figure, which was both tall and sexy.
This is exactly the image of the perfect woman in every man's mind.
Her tall figure was even half a head taller than many men, making her long legs particularly eye-catching.
But Tang Lan only glanced at it before turning her head to look out the window to distract herself.
Otherwise, he might embarrass himself in front of all the women.
“You previously said that two factions had emerged within the royal family, and the new faction was led by Empress Yan.”
"For so many years, Empress Yan's power remained dormant until she gave birth to a son for the king and gained his favor. Then everything changed."
"She first secretly framed the powerful ministers in the court who opposed her proposal, then exposed them in public. She then used her own methods to win the king's heart, making him obey all the affairs of the court and the affairs of state."
"So, does this mean she's going to change the entire Heavenly Soul Empire and carry out a major purge of the existing power structure in the court?!"
After listening to Viner's story, Tang Ya covered her lips slightly, her face filled with shock.
Anyone could tell that Empress Yan had grand ambitions.
He was not a member of the royal family, and this time even three generations of senior officials in the court were tricked and put to death by him.
If all other factions were eliminated, the strength of the entire Heavenly Soul Empire would be reduced by half or even more.
Little did the old king know that he had been so infatuated with her that he had lost his mind and no longer cared about anything else, spending his days in the harem receiving the so-called blessings of the gods.
In particular, Wiener mentioned that the so-called divine blessing mentioned by Queen Yan could purify the old king's early injuries and curses.
When the question arose that there was even a chance to become a god, everyone present fell silent.
Tang Lan pondered for a moment before speaking, "If I'm not mistaken, then Empress Yan must be in charge of the inheritance test of a deity, and she used this method to make your uncle look like this."
"Becoming a god is an immense temptation for every titled Douluo, even for the ruler of a country."
After receiving this answer, Tang Lan felt that the king's reaction was quite reasonable.
In the past, there were also Limit Douluo who mistakenly entered this realm, but failed to comprehend the trials and instead went mad, their personalities changed drastically, and they met a tragic end.
This king seems to be the same kind of person, and I fear he will soon follow in his footsteps.
"Yes, my people have sacrificed so much to help me escape."
"That woman isn't doing this for our royal family at all; she's doing it for herself. She wants to destroy the entire royal family and the Heavenly Soul Empire."
At this point, Wiener's eyes dimmed even more.
Because she was powerless to fight against all of this on her own, and didn't even have the strength to resist.
"Alas, although we can understand how you feel right now, the Heavenly Soul Empire is too powerful for us to help you."
"But don't worry, as long as you, Tang Lan, stay with us, those who come to assassinate you won't be able to hurt you." Ma Xiaotao placed her palm on Vina's hand and gently comforted her.
Shrek Academy has never arbitrarily investigated the internal conflicts of other empires, a fact that was declared to the world many years ago.
This is to avoid being drawn into pointless conflicts.
Even if they wanted to help, their individual strength was insufficient to shake the mighty Heavenly Soul Empire.
Because the current Empress Yan has already seized power over the entire Heavenly Soul Empire.
The king, however, secluded himself and devoted himself entirely to the so-called path to immortality.
In Tang Lan's view, that guy was just a level 94 Title Douluo, who couldn't even pass the test of a Limit Douluo, let alone him.
And so, with mixed feelings, the group embarked on their journey to Luling County.
During this time, the group stopped in several cities to prepare supplies and also heard about the turmoil in the upper echelons of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
However, the commotion quickly subsided as the king fell seriously ill and withdrew from public life, leaving Empress Yan to handle state affairs.
Everything seemed calm, but only Tang Lan and the others, sitting in the corner of the inn, were startled.
It seems that in the next few days, the other side has successfully seized control of the entire court and eliminated all opponents.
This means that the old royal family was completely eradicated, either killed or imprisoned in the imperial prison.
However, no news has been released regarding Princess Vina and the Imperial Seal.
It seems that Empress Yan forcibly suppressed this news.
However, during this period, the number of city defense troops in various cities has increased significantly, and the checks on people coming and going have become much stricter.
However, Tang Lan and the others did not seem to care too much about this.
No one knows the real purpose behind this; many are merely executors. By giving the other party a little benefit, they can easily get everyone through.
However, just to be on the safe side, Tang Lan had Vina change back into a black outfit to cover her face.
"We should be able to reach Luling County this evening!"
“In Luling County, I have an uncle who runs an inn. We can go and seek refuge with her!”
Tang Ya looked at the map and smiled as she spoke to the people at the table.
Tang Lan had learned the general outline of everything by now.
