Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul is actually Bibi Dong.

Just as Pope Bibi Dong had hoped, with the support of the Clear Sky Sect, the war between the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire, whose strength had greatly increased, did indeed fall into a state of stalemate and chaos.

The Heavenly Dou Empire was unable to suppress the Star Luo Empire; on the contrary, it was at a disadvantage on many battlefields.

The reason for this situation is also due to the Spirit Hall.

Because on the previous battlefield, many sects and forces were secretly following Pope Bibi Dong's orders to help the Heaven Dou Empire.

After Qian Renxue was imprisoned by Pope Bibi Dong and Su Mo became the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, those sects stopped helping the Heaven Dou Empire, which is why the Heaven Dou Empire's situation weakened.

Even so, the gap between the two great empires is not entirely reversed.

With the support of the Haotian Sect, the Star Luo Empire was able to suppress the Heaven Dou Empire in terms of high-end combat power. In terms of overall strength, the Heaven Dou Empire was still stronger.

Having more titled Douluo can only play a certain role in the face of a million-strong army; it cannot create an overwhelming force.

In addition, the Star Luo Empire had suffered a terrible defeat and lost a lot of troops, leaving it with only about 200,000 soldiers.

Therefore, even with the support of the Haotian Sect, the Xingluo Empire was able to repel Tiandou on local battlefields, but it was unable to retake the territory.

Faced with this situation, Su Mo naturally took action.

"What's your decision? The Empire needs your help now!"

"Doesn't your Power Clan have a lot of grievances against the Clear Sky Sect? Now that the Clear Sky Sect has joined the Star Luo Empire's army, if you join the Heavenly Dou Clan, you will naturally be able to confront them!"

Su Mo, in his capacity as the Emperor of Tian Dou, approached the Power Clan within the Tian Dou Empire and invited them to join the empire.

Su Mo also made it clear that from now on, all sects within the Heavenly Dou Empire must be under the Empire's jurisdiction.

If the Power Clan does not agree, then they must leave the Heavenly Dou Empire or disband the Power Clan.

"Your Majesty, our Power Clan is willing to accept the Empire's rule!"

After listening to Su Mo's words, Titan looked up at Su Mo. Although he was somewhat unwilling, he finally chose to accept the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Su Mo's personal visit to persuade them was already a great honor.

Of course, it's also because they had no other choice.

Letting them leave Tiandou, which they've cultivated for so many years, and go to Xingluo is uncertain about their future. The problem is that Haotian Sect is currently in Xingluo, and they are unwilling to help Haotian Sect any longer.

If it were Tang Hao, he would still be willing to help the other party. After all, although he also had a lot of opinions about Tang Hao, Tang Hao was, after all, their former master.

However, the Haotian Sect is an exception. The reason why their Power Clan has fallen to its current state is because the Haotian Sect abandoned their four single-attribute families.

"Very well, in that case, I'll trouble the patriarch of the Power Clan to come with me to the Royal Clan and help persuade them!"

Su Mo laughed upon hearing this.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Titan didn't refuse when he heard Su Mo's words and quickly agreed.

Since I've already agreed, I naturally have to do my best. Helping to persuade the Yu clan is also an opportunity to show my abilities.

The Li clan and the Yu clan already have a good relationship, so it would be even better if they could persuade the Yu clan to join the Heavenly Battle.

"We, the Imperial Clan, are willing to obey Your Majesty's commands!"

With the help and persuasion of Titan, the patriarch of the Power Clan, Niu Gao of the Royal Clan, after some struggle, readily agreed.

Next is the Po Clan. The Po Clan originally lived in the Star Luo Empire, but now the Po Clan is located within the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire.

After learning of the choices made by the Power Clan and the Guardian Clan, the Destroyer Clan hesitated for a moment before making their own decisive choice.

Among the four single-attribute families, Yang Wudi was arguably the one who hated the Haotian Sect the most, so making such a choice was inevitable.

Finally, there is the Min clan.

"Our Min clan can also accept the Heavenly Dou Empire's orders, but we have one condition!"

When faced with a choice, Baihe, the patriarch of the Min clan, put forward a condition.

"What are the conditions?"

Su Mo didn't waste any words and directly asked the other party what their conditions were.

Su Mo would agree to anything as long as it wasn't too unreasonable.

However, if the other party makes excessive demands, Su Mo will naturally not indulge them.

They're just a Min clan, and they even have some connection to the Haotian Sect.

Tang Hao and Tang Xiao's mother is Bai He's younger sister.

Tang Hao and the others were to address Bai He as their uncle.

If Tang San were still alive, he would also call Bai He "uncle".

Under normal circumstances, the Min clan should have chosen to stand with the Haotian Sect.

Unfortunately, like the other four single-attribute families, the Min clan was once abandoned by the Haotian Sect, and the Min clan was heartbroken.

To be honest, Su Mo wasn't quite sure why all four single-attribute families in the original work had strong opinions about the Clear Sky Sect and Tang Hao, yet they were all eventually won over by Tang San.

Niu Gao, in particular, initially had a strong opinion of Tang San after learning his identity, but surprisingly agreed to Tang San's conditions, promising to join the Tang Sect created by Tang San if he lost the Soul Battle to Tang San.

Isn't this just plain funny?

He hated the other man's father, yet he still agreed to Tang San's unreasonable request.

If you hate Tang Hao, then you should absolutely not agree to Tang San's bet.

Winning the bet brings no benefit, while losing means joining the sect of the son of the person you hate. How stupid would someone have to be to agree to a bet?

Anyway, when Su Mo saw this part, she didn't understand Niu Gao's actions at all.

The same applies to the Min clan and the Po clan later on. Why should they agree to Tang San's bet?

Unless they're just saying it and don't actually hate Tang Hao at all.

Su Mo guessed that this might be the case. The four single-attribute families hated the Haotian Sect, not Tang Hao. Their hatred for Tang Hao was simply a case of hating the house because of the crow.

The reason they have agreed to accept the rule of the Heavenly Dou Empire is simply because they have no other choice.

If they do not agree to Su Mo's acceptance of the Heaven Dou Empire's jurisdiction, they will be expelled from the Heaven Dou Empire.

They only compromised after agreeing to this agreement, knowing it would allow them to confront the Haotian Sect.

"I know that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School possesses a weapon called the Soul-Hunting Crossbow, and I hope the Heaven Dou Empire can also provide us with that weapon!"

Bai He quickly put forward his conditions.

Since the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School joined the army of the Heaven Dou Empire, the auxiliary effects of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have been further proven, and the Soul Hunting Crossbow worn by the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has also shone brightly.

After learning of the existence of the Soul-Hunting Crossbow, Baihe went to the battlefield to observe it and concluded that the Soul-Hunting Crossbow was very suitable for their Min clan.

The Soul-Hunting Crossbow is only available to disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; it is not available anywhere else.

Now forced into a corner and having no choice but to accept the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dou Empire, Bai He immediately thought of the Soul Hunting Crossbow and then made a request to obtain it.

"Oh, so that's what it is!"

Upon hearing that Bai He's request was for the Soul-Hunting Crossbow, Su Mo immediately laughed: "No problem, just ask Ning, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, for how many you need!"

Su Mo was also thinking that after returning, he could forge a large number of Soul-Hunting Crossbows and arm the army of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty!"

"In that case, our Min clan is willing to accept the Empire's rule!"

Upon hearing Su Mo's words, Bai He immediately and excitedly agreed.

He couldn't help but be excited. He knew very well that the Soul-Hunting Crossbow was truly perfect for their Min Clan, and could really make up for the lack of attack power among their Min Clan disciples.

Besides the four major single-attribute families, Su Mo also did not forget to recruit other sects and forces within the Heaven Dou Empire.

Of course, apart from those with greater strength, Su Mo did not personally recruit the rest; he simply notified them.

Many sects and forces found the Tian Dou Empire's aggressive behavior unacceptable, and they were unwilling to leave Tian Dou and go to the Xing Luo Empire.

Therefore, in the end, most sects had no choice but to accept the jurisdiction of the Heaven Dou Empire, while a small number chose to leave the Heaven Dou Empire.

Of course, there were also some who did not want to be governed by the Heaven Dou Empire, nor were they willing to leave it.

These sects and forces undoubtedly became a deterrent to Su Mo.

With the addition of these sects and forces, the army of the Heavenly Dou Empire suddenly became even stronger.

After learning about Su Mo's actions, the Star Luo Empire followed suit, forcing all sects within its borders to accept the empire's jurisdiction.

This brought the two sides to a draw again, and they fought fiercely once more.

However, this increased the number of Soul Masters involved in the battle, making the war between the two empires even more chaotic.

"A bunch of traitors!"

"The four major single-attribute families have actually chosen to help the Heavenly Dou Empire against us!"

"..."

The people of Haotian Sect were furious when they learned of the choices made by the four single-attribute families.

In their view, the four single-attribute families were once affiliated sects of their Haotian Sect, and now that they were turning against them, it was a betrayal.

"How could my uncles do this!"

Tang Hao was furious when he found out, and felt very disappointed and angry about Bai He and the others' choice.

Tang Hao's first thought was to confront them and persuade the four single-attribute families to abandon their evil ways and embrace the light.

Tang Hao also successfully found an opportunity to secretly meet with the patriarchs of the four single-attribute families.

"Tang Hao!"

"Your Majesty... the Supreme Ruler of Heaven!"

"Tang Hao!"

"What are you doing here?"

Upon seeing Tang Hao, Titan Niu Gao and the others were extremely surprised, their expressions showing astonishment. They hadn't expected Tang Hao to secretly approach them.

However, seeing Tang Hao's current down-and-out state, their expressions were somewhat complicated.

It's unbelievable that Tang Hao, who was once so full of vigor, has become like this.

While feeling sad, they also felt a sense of satisfaction.

The four single-attribute families have had a tough time these past few years, so seeing Tang Hao's appearance now naturally made them feel much better.

"Uncle, Niu Gao, Titan, Yang Wudi, how could you interfere in the Heaven Dou Empire? Have you forgotten your former identities?"

Tang Hao was also very straightforward, directly questioning Titan and the others.

"..."

Upon hearing Tang Hao's question, Niu Gao and the others, who were initially pleasantly surprised to see Tang Hao, immediately turned pale.

"Tang Hao, we were the ones who were abandoned back then!"

"If we didn't still have some strength of our own, where would these four single-attribute families be today? It was the Clear Sky Sect that wronged us first, and we would no longer be affiliated sects of the Clear Sky Sect!"

"That's right, what's wrong with us joining Heavenly Dou now?"

"And you, Tang Hao, weren't you the one who caused all of this back then? What right do you have to question us now?"

If Tang Hao were to have a proper reunion with them, they would definitely cherish those old friendships and be very happy to see that Tang Hao was still with them.

But Tang Hao questioned them as soon as he arrived, which Niu Gao and the others definitely wouldn't accept.

So Niu Gao and his group didn't hold back and retorted to each of their points.

"you……"

After hearing what Niu Gao and the others said, Haotian's expression immediately turned ugly.

However, Tang Hao found it difficult to refute Niu Gao and the others' words for a moment.

He was furious when he heard that the four major single-attribute families had joined the Heavenly Dou Alliance, so he came back to confront them.

After hearing what Niu Gao and the others said, Tang Hao realized that he and the Haotian Sect really had nothing to criticize them for.

It was the Haotian Sect that first abandoned the four single-attribute families.

And the culprit who caused all of this was himself.

"Hmph, you'd better watch yourselves!"

Finally, overwhelmed with shame, Tang Hao snorted coldly and left.

Because he realized that he hadn't actually criticized their position.

"How ridiculous! I never expected him to come here to question us!"

"Yes, and yet I still considered him my master!"

"..."

Seeing Tang Hao leave, Niu Gao and Titan immediately started to laugh at themselves.

Before this, he actually still regarded Tang Hao as his master. They resented the Haotian Sect because the Haotian Sect had abandoned them, but they did not have much hatred for Tang Hao.

Because they also knew that Tang Hao couldn't be blamed for what happened back then.

Tang Hao's only mistake was that he was too weak and chose to run away.

But in the end, it was also because they didn't want to implicate the sect and the four single-attribute families.

"Forget it, from now on we'll have absolutely no connection with the Clear Sky Sect!"

Bai He also let out a long sigh. He never expected that Tang Hao would come to question them.

They had initially felt somewhat guilty, but now they felt at ease.

……

"Su Mo, come in quickly!"

At that moment, Su Mo suddenly received Bibi Dong's voice.

"What's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Su Mo's mind stirred, and his consciousness entered his own Martial Soul Space.

"Quickly call him Master!"

As soon as Su Mo entered, he saw Bibi Dong give an order to Dao Qianying beside her.
