Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 314 Qian Renxue Prepares for the Angelic Trial

"Tang San, Tang Xiao and his buddies have already infiltrated the palace. They've been secretly observing the palace's defenses, especially around your quarters. I reckon they'll make their move in three to five days!"

Inside Qian Renxue's bedchamber, Xiao Yu held Qian Renxue's slender and delicate body and spoke softly.

From beginning to end, Tang San and Ning Fengzhi's movements were all under his control.

Qian Renxue gave a coquettish laugh, then wrapped her arms around Xiao Yu's neck in a slightly spoiled manner, and said jokingly, "So, the day I pass away isn't far off."

Xiao Yu gently pinched Qian Renxue's nose and said with a doting smile, "You need to make things clear. It's Xue Qinghe who is going to die, so Qian Renxue has to live well in this world. After completing the Angel God Trial, you will be an immortal being."

Yes, that was Xiao Yu and Qian Renxue's purpose.

The reason they allowed Ning Fengzhi and Tang San to have an affair was to make Xue Qinghe's identity disappear from the public eye, so that their son could smoothly inherit the throne, while Qian Renxue would restore her original identity and return to the Hall of Worship to continue her Angel God assessment.

Qian Renxue has completed seven of the Angel God Trials. With her current cultivation level as a Title Douluo, these trials are not a big problem for her. However, the final eighth and ninth trials require her to stay in the temple filled with angelic divine power for a long time, which is why Qian Renxue's trials have slowed down.

Qian Renxue buried her head in Xiao Yu's chest and whispered, "The Eighth and Ninth Trials of the Angels require me to stay in the Hall of Worship, which is filled with divine power. We won't be able to see each other for a long time then, so remember to miss me!"

"Of course!"

Xiao Yu chuckled, rolled over, and another wonderful night began.

Several days later, on a dark and windy night, Tang San and his companions, who believed they had figured everything out, began their operation.

The group consisted of more than ten people, including Tang San, all of whom were at least Soul Douluo level.

The group split into two groups. Tang Xiao and several other Title Douluos headed towards Xue Qinghe's bedroom, while Tang San led four royal retainers from the Star Luo Empire and two Soul Douluo experts from the Clear Sky Sect straight to the Crown Prince's bedroom.

"Who is it?"

Tang Xiao and his companions walked through the long palace until they were finally discovered inside Xue Qinghe's bedroom.

Standing in front of Tang Xiao were two Soul Douluo retainers from the Heaven Dou royal family. They had served the Heaven Dou royal family for over fifty years. Originally, they were not responsible for the security of the palace, but were transferred to this position by imperial decree a few days ago.

This was, of course, one of Xiao Yu and Qian Renxue's plans: to use Tang San to weaken the power of the Heaven Dou royal family.

"Those who block my way shall die!"

Tang Xiao roared, and with the Clear Sky Hammer in hand, nine spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—were simultaneously revealed.

"Title Douluo!"

The two Soul Douluos, who were originally from the royal family, immediately changed their expressions. They were not like Xiao Yu and Qian Renxue, who possessed terrifying power capable of fighting beyond their level.

While the two were stunned, Tang Xiao's Clear Sky Hammer had already enlarged more than tenfold. With a sudden slam, the two Soul Douluo powerhouses were as fragile as clay and paper in front of Tang Xiao. After one blow, both of them turned into a pile of minced meat.

"Assassins! Protect Your Majesty!"

The only purpose of these two Soul Douluos was to warn others, and countless palace guards rushed towards Tang Xiao and his group while shouting.

"Quickly finish this off and eliminate Xue Qinghe!"

Tang Xiao roared, his Haotian Hammer flying rapidly as he charged forward.

Sea Dragon Douluo, Seahorse Douluo, Sea Ghost Douluo, Third Elder Tang Ran, and Sixth Elder Tang Yun also released their martial souls at the same time and rushed forward.

The six titled Douluo simultaneously released their martial souls, and a total of fifty-four soul rings shone brightly in the night, creating a truly spectacular scene.

The six titled Douluo charged into the crowd like tigers among sheep. Their terrifying attack power instantly routed the guards, leaving rivers of blood and screams of agony filling the air.

Just as the palace was in chaos, an army of tens of thousands of people appeared silently outside the palace.

The three leading figures were none other than Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Xue Beng and Xue Xing.

The composition of this army was extremely complex, including disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the remaining members of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, military generals and fugitives whom Snow Star and Snow Beng had tried to win over, as well as private soldiers led by nobles who had been suppressed by Xue Qinghe and had switched their allegiance to Snow Beng and Snow Star. It was a chaotic mess, and apart from the two thousand disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the rest were all a motley crew that was no match for them.

"Halt! This is forbidden area of ​​the palace. Unauthorized personnel are prohibited from entering!"

The soldiers guarding the palace gates immediately blocked their way, because the palace was in chaos and there were fewer than twenty soldiers left guarding the gates.

"asshole."

Prince Xuexing rode forward and roared, "Can't you see that the palace is in complete chaos? We came here to rescue His Majesty. Get out of the way! If you delay and His Majesty is harmed, you won't have enough heads to chop off."

The soldier, true to his duty, replied neither servilely nor arrogantly, "Your Highness, protecting His Majesty's safety is the responsibility of our Imperial Guards. Your Highness is an official from outside the capital; to bring troops into the palace without authorization is a grave offense. Please withdraw immediately!"

puff!

Before Prince Xuexing could say anything more, Xue Beng suddenly attacked, beheading the soldier who was blocking his way.

After Avalanche killed the soldier, he raised his longsword and shouted sternly, "Soldiers, the Nine Star Palace is a wolf in sheep's clothing, colluding with outsiders to secretly plot against His Majesty. Anyone who stands in their way is their accomplice! Kill them!"

Xue Xing then came to her senses and brandished her longsword: "Soldiers, follow me and charge! Protect His Majesty!"

"It seems that Avalanche isn't as spoiled as the rumors say!"

Seeing Xue Beng act so decisively, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but be surprised. Sure enough, none of the princes of the imperial family were easy to deal with.

"Kill them!"

These more than 10,000 people stormed through the palace gates and rushed towards Xue Qinghe's bedroom like a tidal wave. They claimed to be rescuing the emperor, but in reality, they were secretly helping Tang Xiao and his group to kill Xue Qinghe.

shhhhhh! ! !

Before they could even reach Xue Qinghe's bedchamber, they were already surrounded by an enemy force several times their size. Countless archers were firing their arrows from the high walls around them, and a large number of the non-Soul Master soldiers were shot down.

"Ning Fengzhi, Xue Beng, Xue Xing, you three heartless bastards!"

With a furious roar, Marshal Ge Long, the top military officer of the Heavenly Dou Empire, rode a white tiger through the crowd, his icy killing intent instantly locking onto Ning Fengzhi, Xue Beng, and Xue Xing: "Originally, His Majesty said you were preparing a rebellion, and I was somewhat skeptical, but I never expected you would actually dare to do such a treasonous thing!"
