Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Conversely, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School stood on the side of the Snow Clear River and chose to "go with the flow," perhaps they would gain even more?

Xue Qinghe possesses the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, making him an important figure in the Spirit Hall. He has a close relationship with Qian Daoliu, the Invincible Sky, as either father and son or grandfather and grandson, and is most likely the future leader of the Spirit Hall.

The reason Ning Fengzhi chose to help Tian Dou quell the rebellion was mainly because he felt that Xue Qinghe would become a puppet of the Spirit Hall after colluding with the Spirit Hall to plot a rebellion. In addition, the Spirit Hall was powerful, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was very likely to be completely devoured by the Spirit Hall in the future.

Faced with the choice between inheriting the sect's legacy and becoming a disciple, Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, chose the former.

Because he was first the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and only then was he Xue Qinghe's teacher.

The reason Ning Fengzhi made this choice was that Xue Qinghe would become a puppet of the Spirit Hall. If Xue Qinghe were not a puppet, but the future ruler of the Spirit Hall, then everything would be very different.

The Spirit Hall is the overlord of the Spirit Master world on the continent, the Heaven Dou Empire is one of only two empires on the continent, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is one of the three major sects on the continent. With Xue Qinghe as the bond, the three parties can look forward to the day when they unite and unify the continent.

Furthermore, considering the deaths of the Second and Third Princes of Tiandou more than a decade ago, and the fact that his own disciple has not shown any signs of misbehavior recently, Ning Fengzhi can confirm that Xue Qinghe was not recently replaced. The real Xue Qinghe has already been replaced, and he and 'Xue Qinghe' have a de facto master-disciple relationship.

Given this master-disciple relationship, it is true that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School needed to support the Spirit Hall in the early stages, but after achieving success, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will inevitably share in the fruits of victory.

Compared to the uncertain future, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but feel that if he had stood on Xue Qinghe's side earlier, it would have been more advantageous for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Qinghe, Qinghe, why didn't you discuss this with the teacher beforehand?"

Ning Fengzhi secretly regretted it.

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School previously regarded the Spirit Hall as a potential enemy, there was no irreconcilable hatred between the two sides.

If you can't beat them, join them; that's not something unacceptable.

Unlike the original story, the Heaven Dou Palace Coup in the original story occurred after the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was raided by the Spirit Hall.

At that time, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was destroyed and suffered heavy losses by the Spirit Hall. With such deep hatred, Ning Fengzhi naturally stood firmly on the opposite side of the Spirit Hall.

However, the Spirit Hall's "Soul Hunting Operation" has not yet begun, and Ning Fengzhi's hostility towards the Spirit Hall is not that great. As long as the inheritance and interests of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can be guaranteed, cooperation is not impossible.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in reality, and even if he wanted to regret it now, it would be too late.

Ning Fengzhi: This sect master is two-faced? Heh~, this sect master's surname is Ning, not Xue. Everything I do is for the sake of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's inheritance.

"Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, could you possibly recognize who the final powerful figure was?"

At this moment, Xuexing asked Chenxin and the other person.

Chen Xin shook his head: "I don't know, but if I'm not mistaken, it shouldn't be a Title Douluo, but a Martial Soul Fusion Skill at the Title Douluo level."

The ability to instantly kill a titled Golden Sacred Dragon suggests that the attackers are likely no less powerful than myself, and the initiator must be two ice-attribute soul masters at the eighth ring level.

By the way, this unknown martial soul fusion skill also released an invisible domain power filled with killing intent. If nothing unexpected happens, this domain power should be the Killing God Domain that Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo, also possesses.

"The Domain of the God of Slaughter?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xueye seemed to be deep in thought, and couldn't help but think of Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er, who had come to Tiandou City a few months ago and had been studying at Yuexuan recently.

As the most outstanding prodigy of the younger generation in the empire, Emperor Xueye had always kept a close eye on the two of them.

Moreover, the Heavenly Dou Empire's intelligence capabilities are not bad; they are not unaware of Tang Hao's God of Slaughter Domain and its origin.

However, Emperor Xueye quickly denied his guess.

After all, Chen Xin also said that a martial soul fusion skill with such power must be activated by someone who is at least an eight-ring Soul Douluo. Although Mu Yang and the other two are the most outstanding geniuses of the empire, they are still young people. It is obviously impossible for them to have cultivated their soul power level to the eight-ring level so quickly. There must be someone else.

Emperor Xueye was right to think that way, but he was unaware that there were such heaven-defying items as battle armor in the world. A six-ring Soul Emperor wearing a proper two-word battle armor was strong enough to rival an eight-ring Soul Douluo.

At this moment, Dugu Bo, who was in charge of post-war casualty statistics, Barton, the commander of the Imperial Guard, and Brook, the Grand Master of the Royal Knights, arrived together.

"What are the casualties?"

Emperor Xueye asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, aside from the minor wounds, the Imperial Guard suffered over 12,000 dead and 6,000 seriously wounded in this battle. In addition, the rebellious Third Army suffered 30,000 casualties, and the rest have laid down their arms and surrendered, awaiting Your Majesty's judgment."

"The Royal Knights suffered over 10,000 dead and 3,000 seriously wounded."

"Including the spies planted by the Spirit Hall, compared to before the rebellion, the Royal Guest Regiment suffered nearly 60% losses, the Palace Spirit Master Corps suffered more than 30% casualties, and the Spirit Hall side left behind more than 1,500 Spirit Master corpses."

The three individuals then reported on the casualties.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xueye's vision went black, and he was so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe, almost fainting on the spot.

It should be noted that, in terms of the strength of Soul Masters alone, the Heaven Dou Empire's foundation is not strong, and the power held by the royal family is even weaker.

It can be said that the royal family has lost almost half of its Soul Master strength in this rebellion.

Most importantly, the empire also lost a qualified crown prince.

With the Spirit Hall harboring ambitions and the Star Luo Empire brimming with power, just as turmoil was about to erupt, Emperor Xue Ye couldn't help but worry: could the Heaven Dou Empire truly ensure its survival in the coming era of upheaval?

It's no wonder that Emperor Xueye thinks this way; Xue Beng's past performance as the sole heir to the imperial throne inevitably makes him so worried.

"avalanche!"

After a long while, Emperor Xueye stared intently at the avalanche and gave a command.

"Your subject is here."

The avalanche stepped forward and bowed.

"Kneel down!"

Thump—

Without hesitation, Avalanche immediately knelt down on both knees.

The emperor doesn't have much time left to live, so if he wants to smoothly ascend the throne, he can't afford to be disobedient in the slightest.

Afterwards, Emperor Xueye, despite his weakened state due to poisoning, got up from his bed with the help of palace maids.

"Sect Leader Ning, the Empire is currently in a critical period and lacks experience in dealing with avalanches. We hope that Sect Leader Ning will provide us with more guidance in the future."

As he spoke, Emperor Xueye bowed deeply to Ning Fengzhi.

"Your Majesty is too kind."

Ning Fengzhi quickly stepped forward to help Emperor Xueye up.

"Avalanche, from now on you will respect Sect Leader Ning as your master, and you must remember to respect your teacher!"

The Snow Emperor turned and sternly instructed the avalanche. (End of Chapter)
