Reincarnated as a demon from Douluo Continent, guarding peace in the human world.

Chapter 16 The Reclusive Serpent Spear Douluo, Heavenly Dou Enraged

Qian Renxue and Meng Shenji hurriedly went to the palace to pay their respects to Emperor Xueye.

At this moment, Emperor Xueye was talking with Grand Marshal Gelong. They were both quite puzzled when they saw the two of them rushing in.

"Qinghe, what's gotten into you that you look so flustered?" Emperor Xueye asked with a smile.

Grand Marshal Golong glanced at Qian Renxue and said, "It seems that Xiao is not so easy to control. Was he suppressed and killed by the Spirit Hall, or is there a problem with the Spirit Hall?"

Qian Renxue's expression was strange. She sighed, shook her head slightly, and said:

"Neither..."

"Xiao wreaked havoc in the Spirit Hall, and the Hall Master, terrified, fled to... the Ge Mansion. Grand Duke Ge Hu sheltered him, but Xiao, who followed closely behind, killed him as well..."

"Your Majesty, I failed to stop this from happening in time. Please punish me..."

Qian Renxue immediately knelt down, her expression filled with fear.

Meng Shenji cupped his hands in a gesture of sympathy, saying, "This matter has little to do with Your Highness. We went as soon as possible, but we didn't expect Xiao to move so quickly. Besides, we couldn't stop him given his strength!"

Emperor Xueye's expression changed drastically. He looked at Golong but remained silent.

Xiao ran to the Ge residence and even killed Grand Duke Ge Hu. Isn't this blatant self-destruction against the Heavenly Struggle?!

Ge Long suddenly stood up, his face contorted with rage, his eyes wide as he glared at Qian Renxue. He took a few steps forward and exclaimed urgently, "What did you say? Ge Hu... Ge Hu was killed?"

Golong's whole body trembled. Although Gohu was useless, he was still his brother from the same mother!

Now that Ge Hu has been killed, how could he not be furious?

They couldn't even maintain a semblance of calm!

Qian Renxue nodded and said respectfully, "Yes, Grand Duke Gehu has passed away..."

Emperor Xueye glanced at Grand Marshal Gelong, sighed, and said, "In the end, this matter is my fault. If I hadn't let him attack the Spirit Hall, this tragedy would not have happened."

Regardless of what he thought in his heart, Emperor Xueye would definitely have to put on a good show.

Although Gohu was a complete good-for-nothing, the fact that he was made a Grand Duke was entirely due to the favor of Grand Marshal Golong.

Once you're dead, you're dead.

Golong gritted his teeth, his fists clenching so hard they cracked. He looked at Qian Renxue and said in a deep voice, "Where is that murderer?"

Qian Renxue replied, "He was too ruthless at the time, and I... was afraid and didn't stop him. I also hurriedly reported the incident, so I didn't have time to follow him. He should be back at the National Academy, right?"

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's answer, Ge Long's expression darkened slightly.

Prince Xue Qinghe is always meticulous in his work, how could he possibly make such a mistake?

This only proves one thing: she intentionally protected Xiao, which is why she let him leave without searching for any trace of him.

Seeing the change in Ge Long's expression, Emperor Xueye cleared his throat and said, "Grand Marshal Ge Long, rest assured, I will not let that villain live. How dare he harm a noble of my Heavenly Dou Empire! That cannot be tolerated!"

Golong shook his head slightly and said, "No, I know Your Majesty's deep affection for this old minister, but... that Xiao must have another important use for him, right?"

"Since death is inevitable, there's no need to resort to the law; let this old minister handle it!"

"Killing him would be my way of avenging my worthless brother. If that is not possible, then I ask Your Majesty to intervene so that he does not betray the Heavenly Struggle. This would be the best of both worlds."

Goron looked serious; he couldn't wait to hunt down Xiao!

"In that case, I'm sorry to have to trouble you, my dear minister..." Emperor Xueye sighed.

Goron said seriously, "How could that be?"

After some further persuasion, Emperor Xueye finally "compromised" and bestowed upon Grand Duke Gehu an extraordinary honor.

Golong didn't linger and hurriedly returned to the Go residence to begin his pursuit of Xiao.

……

Meanwhile, Serpent Spear Douluo had returned to Prince Fu's secret chamber. He was covered in gunshot wounds, and after being washed with water, he lay on the bed with lifeless eyes.

The Porcupine Douluo came over to check on him and, seeing that the Serpent Spear Douluo looked like he had lost all his life ideals, he circled the bed and clicked his tongue in amazement.

Having spent so many years together, this was the first time he had ever seen the Serpent Spear Douluo look like this.

"What's going on with you? Does that Xiao really have strength surpassing a Title Douluo?"

"Porcupine Douluo asked."

Serpent Spear Douluo's eyes were lifeless, and he didn't hear what he said at all.

After waiting for a while, the Porcupine Douluo, seeing this, patted the Serpent Spear Douluo on the shoulder with dissatisfaction.

Serpent Spear Douluo was startled and looked at Porcupine Douluo, saying irritably, "You still have the nerve to look?! If it were you, you'd be in a much worse situation than me! That kid is too weird!"

"Do you know that I was completely controlled and rendered powerless by him without even being able to use my soul skills!"

"Don't fight him, no matter who you're fighting! He's the kind of person who..."

The Serpent Spear Douluo excitedly explained, even gesturing wildly to demonstrate, but as he moved, his wound was aggravated, and he immediately grimaced in pain.

The Porcupine Douluo initially found it amusing, but when he heard the Serpent Spear Douluo praise Xiao for possessing the close combat skills of a peerless Douluo, he became unconvinced.

"How is that possible? How old is he? Could his combat skills have been honed to that level?"

The Porcupine Douluo doesn't believe it at all.

The Serpent Spear Douluo turned around, his back to the Porcupine Douluo, and sneered, "If you don't believe me, you can go and try it with him!"

The Porcupine Douluo smiled, naturally not provoking him to actually go looking for any demon.

It's likely that Serpent Spear Douluo was just trying to save face by saying that. It's probably because he was careless for a moment that he suffered a defeat.

"I think the young master seems to admire Xiao and wants to bring him into the Spirit Hall. But now that that idiot is dead, the Pope must know, and she's always been a strong person, so she'll definitely lose control..."

The Porcupine Douluo sighed slightly.

……

Yuexuan.

Xiao lay on a plain white bed, the bloodstains on his body wiped clean, revealing a handsome young face. He was unconscious, a sight that evoked pity in anyone who saw him.

The maid who was wiping his body blushed and glanced at him a few more times, then whispered:

"He's so handsome..."

Tang Yuehua shook her head slightly, glanced at Xiao lying on the bed, and indeed, as the maid had said, she was very beautiful.

"I wonder what this child has been through. He's covered in blood, but thankfully there are no wounds. He's probably having a nightmare right now. Lan'er, bring my harp."

Tang Yuehua smiled gently.

The maid Lan'er quickly placed an exquisite harp in front of Tang Yuehua.

Tang Yuehua began to play, her fingers plucking the strings, and melodious music filled the air.

The maid Lan'er listened intently, her eyes slightly narrowed, completely absorbed.

The music entered Xiao's ears, and his tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

Although this music has no divine power, it still possesses the power to calm the mind.

For Xiao, who suffers from the wrath of the demon god, this can greatly alleviate his pain.

Tang Yuehua noticed his change and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

The music kept playing...
