Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 352 Tang Yuehua's Collapse

Tang Yuehua looked conflicted: "Third Sister, isn't this a bit too despicable? Since its founding, our Haotian Sect has always acted with integrity and a clear conscience. Kidnapping an infant to threaten our opponents... this..."

Tang Shenwang remained calm and composed, showing no remorse whatsoever for Tang Yuehua's words. After all, he was the first to use a child to threaten someone, especially since it was his son-in-law's own son.

Tang Shenwang said with a righteous expression, "Aunt, is reputation more important or the inheritance of the Haotian Sect? If we lose to Xiao Yu, given that bastard's behavior, our Haotian Sect will be wiped out!"

"All right!"

Although Tang Yuehua still felt that this matter went against human nature, for the sake of the future of the Haotian Sect, she gritted her teeth and agreed: "Xiao San, leave this matter to me. The few spies I left in Tiandou City are very well hidden. Unless I go in person, they won't trust anyone!"

Tang Shenwang's original intention was to ask Tang Yuehua to take action. Kidnapping is not murder, so a meticulous person must be found to carry it out. There was no other suitable person besides Tang Yuehua.

"Auntie, I'll have Sea Spear Douluo and Sea Maiden Douluo accompany you, so you can look out for each other!"

Tang Yuehua shook her head and said, "Third Brother, Title Douluos have their dignity. They wouldn't be willing to kidnap a baby of a few years old. Besides, the disappearance of two Title Douluos will definitely alert Xiao Yu and the others. This time, I'll just take a few third-generation disciples from the Clear Sky Sect to Heaven Dou City and sneak into the palace to steal the child out. There's no need to force our way through the palace gates!"

Tang San agreed with Tang Yuehua's reasoning and immediately nodded, saying, "Then I'll leave this matter to you, Aunt!"

The following day, led by three god-level powerhouses, the remnants of the Star Luo army, who had previously been suppressed by the Heaven Dou Empire, launched a swift counterattack.

The vanguard of the Heaven Dou Empire suffered a crushing defeat, losing nearly 50,000 troops. Perhaps because they had been so badly beaten by the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, in order to vent its anger, executed all the Heaven Dou Empire soldiers captured in this battle. They also hung the bodies of several fallen Heaven Dou Empire generals and Soul Douluo Soul Saints from the Nine Star Palace who came to help in the battle on the city walls for public display.

This move immediately enraged everyone in the Heavenly Dou Empire and the Nine Star Palace. The entire army was filled with righteous indignation and volunteered to fight and wipe out the remaining forces of the Star Luo Empire.

Soon, the million-strong army of the Heavenly Dou Empire arrived at the city's gates, surrounding Starsea City in layers upon layers. Countless soul tools were scattered around the city, and dark entrances were pointed at Starsea City's not-so-tall city walls.

Inside the tent of Xiao Yu, the regent of the Heaven Dou Empire's army, Tang Yuehua, who was entrusted with an important mission, was bound hand and foot and imprisoned there.

Tang Yuehua's face was deathly pale, her heart was ashen, and her face was filled with despair.

She never imagined that the soul tools of the Nine Star Palace would have developed to such an extent. She and several third-generation disciples of the Haotian Sect had not even left the old territory of the Star Luo Empire when they were discovered by the aerial reconnaissance soul tools.

These aerial soul tools have undergone numerous improvements and now possess facial recognition capabilities. In particular, figures like Tang Yuehua, who hold a significant position within the opposing forces, are the focus of their attention.

After the soul tool detected Tang Yuehua, it immediately issued the highest level of alarm. Several surrounding cities mobilized a large number of soul masters to surround and intercept them, and soon captured Tang Yuehua and her party.

"I never imagined that the former number one sect in the world would commit such a despicable act as kidnapping an innocent child. I wonder if Tang Chen and Tang Xiao, those dead bastards, would feel ashamed if they knew this in the afterlife!"

Although Xiao Yu had a smile on his face, his voice was extremely cold.

Although Tang Yuehua remained silent, some of the other captured third-generation disciples could not withstand the torture and confessed the purpose of their trip.

Qian Renxue's face was as cold as frost, and her eyes were filled with endless killing intent as she looked at Tang Yuehua. How dare she set her sights on her own son? She must be tired of living!

Xiao Yu turned to Qian Daoliu and asked, "Grandpa, what should we do with this woman?"

Xiao Yu wasn't some kind of womanizer who would be blinded by lust and act recklessly whenever he saw a woman. Besides, Tang Yuehua was almost fifty years old, and because of the defect in her martial soul, she couldn't cultivate and would remain at level nine for life. Unlike other female soul masters, she couldn't rely on soul power to maintain her appearance. No matter how well she took care of herself, she couldn't hide the wrinkles that were gradually appearing on her face.

The reason why Tang Yuehua was not dealt with immediately after being captured was because Qian Daoliu had once said that he hoped to let Tang Yuehua go and leave some bloodline for Tang Chen.

Qian Daoliu silently closed his eyes, and in a flash, he disappeared from the tent. His voice drifted from afar, carrying only a single, simple word: "Kill!"

His initial thought of keeping Tang Yuehua alive, to leave a bloodline for his old friend Tang Chen, stemmed from the fact that Tang Yuehua could only ever reach level nine. In this world where strength reigns supreme, without the support of powerful figures, even the most intelligent woman couldn't cause much trouble.

However, now that Tang Yuehua dares to have designs on Qian Renxue's son, she has also crossed Qian Daoliu's bottom line. Since that's the case, then we can only wrong our old friend Tang Chen to have no descendants!

"Xiao Yu, Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu, you just wait! That third brother will definitely avenge me!"

Knowing she was doomed, Tang Yuehua let out her final roar.

"Don't worry, I'll send your good nephew to see you soon."

Xiao Yu sneered, then suddenly remembered something and said, "There's something you probably don't know: your elder brother, Tang Xiao, was drained dry and killed by your good nephew!"

If Tang Yuehua dared to lay a hand on his son, then he would completely destroy Tang Yuehua's mental support, making sure she died in unease.

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua was taken aback at first, then angrily shouted, "Xiao Yu, you're talking nonsense! How could a mistress do such a heinous thing!"

"Why would I lie to a dying man like you?"

Xiao Yu said frankly, "You might want to think back carefully. When Tang San left Star Luo to infiltrate Heaven Dou, he was only around level 84. But when he returned to Star Luo, he had already reached the level of a Title Douluo. Apart from absorbing the flesh and blood of your elder brother Tang Xiao, a level 97 Super Douluo, what other way could he have crossed the six-level barrier in just a few days? At that time, his Sea God Trial only had the final eighth and ninth trials left, and there wouldn't be any more rewards for increasing soul power!"

"Impossible, impossible!"

The more Tang Yuehua thought about it, the more frightened she became. It seemed that only Xiao Yu's explanation was possible, but she couldn't believe it. Tang San was the last hope for the restoration of Haotian. How could he be such a rebellious beast who couldn't even be considered human?

Tang Yuehua went into a frenzy, shaking her head desperately in an attempt to deny everything.
