Douluo's Bone Transforms into a Divine Dragon

Chapter 286 Return, Preparing for the Great War

Gu Xuan did not stay on Poseidon Island for long. He stayed on the island with Ning Rongrong and the others for one day, and then said goodbye to Poseidon and left the next day.

With Gu Xuan's current strength, he returned directly to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's mountain gate with just one eighth soul skill, and apart from Gu Rong and Chen Xin, no one else noticed at all.

Gu Rong and Chen Xin were overjoyed to see their granddaughters-in-law return, completely forgetting about Gu Xuan and the like.

Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong had been separated for most of the past few years, and they missed their beloved daughter terribly. So they handed over their official duties to Gu Xuan and took their daughter out to have some fun.

Gu Xuan returned after three months away to find that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had already arranged everything in an orderly manner, and now all he needed to do was give the order.

Within three months, the Heaven Dou City and the Heaven Dou Empire had been completely controlled by people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and those kingdoms and duchies were now merely nominal entities.

Under the leadership of Golden Crocodile Douluo, the Spirit Hall is gradually perfecting the plan originally designed by Ning Fengzhi and Gu Xuan, aiming to completely eliminate all the drawbacks left by Bibi Dong.

With Gu Xuan now in power, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has essentially taken control of the Heavenly Dou Empire, and things are progressing in a positive direction. Therefore, the common people below are very supportive.

After all, they were all citizens of the Heavenly Dou Empire. Regardless of who was in charge, as long as it improved their lives, they didn't really care.

However, the various kingdoms and duchies under the Heavenly Dou Empire didn't think that way. Accustomed to being local tyrants, they naturally resisted the Heavenly Dou Empire's unification efforts. Therefore, they spread rumors among the common people, claiming that the Regent wanted to monopolize imperial power and impeach Gu Xuan.

What they didn't expect was that Tiandou City was now under Gu Xuan's absolute control, and those who disobeyed had been dealt with on various charges.

Of course, these charges are absolutely true, because even the Ghost Leopard and Wind Chime Bird families, the most powerful families in the Tiandou Empire today, have enough evidence to warrant the extermination of their clans.

But who could blame them for being pragmatic? During the few months of Gu Xuan's regency, he quickly dealt with the unsavory members of the clan and then officially declared himself the Smiling Regent.

After all, it's better for those family scoundrels to die by their own hand than to become someone else's leverage. It is precisely because of their intelligence that the two families have now become the most powerful ministers in the empire.

Of course, Oslo and Yufeng played a key role in this, after all, they were close classmates with Gu Xuan back then.

Gu Xuan organized the materials in his hands, summarized the information, and finally began a series of arrangements.

The first priority is to completely unify the Heavenly Dou Empire, and then launch an attack on the Star Luo Empire.

Once the Star Luo Empire is conquered, the entire continent will essentially be under our control. Any other sects, large or small, that are unwilling to submit to the empire will face only one fate: annihilation.

Gu Xuan did indeed want a hundred flowers to bloom and a hundred schools of thought to contend, but the premise was that they were all within his own territory. Only if they all chose to submit to the empire could they be considered part of the empire.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School now has a terrifying 8,000 Soul Masters available, 4,000 of whom are from the Spirit Hall's original Soul Hunting Operation.

Of the eight thousand Soul Masters, one thousand remained to protect the sect, while the remaining seven thousand were led by several Title Douluo and temporarily formed into seven War God Armies, each commanding a million-strong army to attack the Star Luo Empire.

The reason for this is that the Star Luo Empire, under its iron-fisted rule, is still quite unified and it is virtually impossible for it to surrender without a fight, unless it is defeated with overwhelming force.

Only in this way can the people of the Star Luo Empire feel the power of the Heavenly Dou Empire now led by Gu Xuan, and only then can they truly win the hearts of all people when they are finally subdued.

After all, ordinary people are not Soul Masters, and simply using the same methods used against Soul Masters to deal with them may not necessarily achieve the best results.

The seven armies were each led by one of seven individuals: Ghost Leopard Douluo, Serpent Spear Douluo, Spirit Kite Douluo, Porcupine Douluo, Giant Axe Douluo, Mountain Splitter Douluo, and Spirit Armor Douluo. Dugu Bo became the commander-in-chief of all three armies, overseeing their operations.

Now, all nine Title Douluos of the Spirit Hall have completely submitted to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Thanks to the miraculous effects of the Fragrance Rejuvenating Saliva, they have all broken through the limits that they had not been able to break through for several years or even decades, and their levels have increased by one.

In addition, given that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is indeed incredibly powerful now, it's best to completely submit to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. After all, it doesn't matter who you work for.

Although their status in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is lower than it was in the Spirit Hall, they really do give them benefits.

As the saying goes, those who know when to yield are the heroes. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School treated them with sincerity, so they naturally wouldn't be ungrateful.

Because Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they were highly valued at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. They followed the hunting team composed of Gu Rong and Chen Xin, directly breaking away from the main army to snipe and kill the powerful Soul Masters of the Star Luo Empire who were trying to put up a last stand, thus eliminating the Star Luo Empire's resistance forces from scratch.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the four lower sects that had submitted to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan also joined the effort this time. They were responsible for following the team led by Zuo Yi, Mi He, and Long Wu to find the Haotian Clan and then persuade them to surrender.

Although the Haotian Sect has gone into seclusion, it was once one of the three great sects. Leaving such a hidden danger behind is definitely not what Gu Xuan wanted.

Regardless of whether Yu Yuanzhen and his group can take down Haotian Sect, the first thing to do is to find their mountain gate, then restrain them, and wait until Gu Xuan unifies the continent before slowly dealing with those hidden forces.

All of this mobilization naturally takes time. According to Gu Xuan's estimate, it would take at least a month to prepare a large army and provisions. So after completing all the arrangements, he went to Sunset Forest.

Gu Xuan still vividly remembered his previous conversation with the Asura God. He wanted to see if Dugu Yan had passed the Asura God's test.

Ning Rongrong and the others stayed at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School because they hadn't seen their relatives for a long time and wanted to spend some time with them.

After Zuo Yan introduced Shui Bing'er and Zuo Yi to each other, the two went to Tianshui Academy.

The left wing is overjoyed, after all, he is very happy that his grandson has found such an excellent partner.

Moreover, it seems that Lao Deng on the left wing has also ushered in a second spring. His first wife has been gone for more than ten years and he has never remarried. However, after Ling Yuan Douluo joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he felt that he was capable again.

Zuo Yan is considered quite open-minded. Besides, Ling Yuan Douluo is not bad either, so being a stepmother wouldn't be bad. The grandson encouraged the old man to pursue her, and if he succeeded, he would give her a big red envelope!

Zuo Yi is quite handsome. Now that he has broken through to the Title Douluo level, he looks like a middle-aged man in his forties, which adds to his charm.

Although Lingyuan Douluo is a woman, she has never been in a relationship. In addition, Zuo Yi, this old man, is good at sweet talk. Over the past few months, the two seem to have made some progress.

However, when Ling Yuan learned that Zuo Yi's grandson was already twenty-two years old, her goodwill towards Zuo Yi vanished instantly.

They're offering their first time to you, and you're already dating someone?

roll!

...............

When Gu Xuan learned about Zuo Yi's old Deng incident, he was both amused and exasperated, but he didn't interfere too much, since it was a private matter.

When Gu Xuan arrived at Sunset Forest, he found Dugu Yan sitting cross-legged in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, with eight soul rings—two yellow, one purple, three black, and two red—quietly floating on her body.

Dugu Yan is currently level 80 and is absorbing her eighth spirit ring, which is a 100,000-year spirit ring.

Seeing this, Gu Xuan put his worries aside. After all, Dugu Yan was able to absorb the eighth soul ring without leaving the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, which proved that the Asura God had chosen Dugu Yan as his successor.

I just don't know how that old man, the Asura God, tested Dugu Yan during the few days I was away.

P.S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
