The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 287 The Haotian Sect Has No Way to Avoid It

Tang San had just finished his sigh when he realized something was wrong, because the news that the Divine Trial was over did not arrive as expected.

"What happened?" Tang San frowned as he looked at Yu Xiaogang, who had fainted on the ground.

"Could it be because Yu Xiaogang didn't fight back? Or did I misinterpret the mission requirements?"

"Crush them, crush them!" Tang San casually found a step to sit down and began to re-examine the mission requirements, while also waiting for Yu Xiaogang to wake up.

When Yu Xiaogang slowly woke up, the first thing he saw was Tang San sitting not far from him.

Humiliation, disbelief, and a host of negative emotions lingered in his mind.

Yu Xiaogang's chest heaved violently. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Why haven't you left yet?"

Tang San turned his head to look at Yu Xiaogang, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and chuckled, "That last battle wasn't a real fight, so we need to have another one."

"You beast!" Yu Xiaogang suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Tang San in astonishment.

He didn't expect that Tang San's humiliation of him once wasn't enough.

"I can forgive you this time because you did help me before, but if you offend me again, don't blame me for disregarding our friendship."

A cold glint flashed in Tang San's eyes.

After a long while, Tang San left, leaving Yu Xiaogang lying on the ground with a blank look in his eyes, tears streaming down his face.

He never expected Tang San to be so ruthless and vicious, devouring his soul power to level nineteen.

Humiliation, this is blatant humiliation!

Time flies, and another year has almost passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the council hall of the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace is discussing a momentous event that could reshape the landscape of the continent.

Qianrenxue sat high on his throne, listening quietly as the ministers recounted the preparations made over the past few years.

"After two years of stockpiling food supplies, we have enough to sustain our Tian Dou campaign in the upcoming war. Military pay and equipment are also in place." The Chancellor of the Exchequer said with his head bowed, his words full of confidence.

Since the death of Emperor Xueye, the Heavenly Dou Empire has undergone a complete overhaul, from nobles to ministers.

Those outsiders who can still stand in this hall now are either close to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School or truly capable pragmatists.

Li Xun and Qian Renxue were not bloodthirsty, so they did not purge these people. Instead, they slowly passed on their ideas to achieve internal unity.

As the Chancellor of the Exchequer finished speaking, Yang Wudi stepped forward: "Half a hundred thousand vanguard troops have been assembled on the Barak border and are ready to launch an attack at any time."

Once the human race passes through ten thousand, the world becomes boundless. War is not a game; mobilizing a million-strong army to invade at any time is a fantasy story.

A country is considered well-off if it can mobilize half of its military force without harming its fundamental interests.

"Then let's start the war." Qian Renxue was very satisfied with the unity between the emperor and his subjects.

When she returned to Tian Dou, she heard that Bibi Dong was in seclusion and hadn't appeared for some time. Now that no one was hindering her, it was the perfect time for her to take a big bite out of Xing Luo.

With a series of orders issued, the entire Tiandou region officially entered a tense moment.

Those who aspire to achieve great things are also actively responding, as Douluo Continent has been quiet for too long.

The massive army of 500,000 men was routed before the Xingluo forces stationed on the border could mount any effective resistance. Kingdoms and duchies within the Xingluo Empire, near Barak Province, trembled in fear.

Star Luo Empire.

Emperor Xingluo rose angrily from his throne: "It seems Heaven Dou has forgotten that if it weren't for the Spirit Hall acting as a check and balance, they would have been annihilated by my Xingluo's iron cavalry long ago! How dare they launch a preemptive attack!"

"Immediately dispatch troops from the Duchy of Yunluo and the Kingdom of Hadrian to provide reinforcements, and make every effort to crush the Tiandou army within the territory of the Kingdom of Chris."

"Sect Master Tang, I'm leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to you. I heard that Sword Douluo has already broken through to level 98. If you find it difficult, I will send some family experts to help you."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, although Sword Douluo's cultivation is one level higher than mine, how could my Haotian Sect, which has been able to firmly hold the position of the number one sect on the continent, not have the means to overcome the strong with the weak?" Although Tang Xiao felt somewhat heavy-hearted, he did not show it on his face.

"good!"

The Star Luo Emperor suddenly unleashed his aura, a Title Douluo's pressure filling the entire hall: "Since Heaven Dou wants war, then let them fight! I want to see how their White Goose Martial Soul can fight a tiger!"

Although the Star Luo Empire is also an imperial system, the competition is fierce. Anyone who can inherit the throne must possess both talent and strength. As the victor of the previous generation, the Star Luo Emperor's strength is naturally extraordinary.

While there are no powerful figures with titles among the collateral branches, there are still some Soul Saints and Soul Douluos. In addition, their fusion skills with the Zhu family's martial souls can rival some experts.

As orders were issued, the hall instantly became solemn and oppressive, demonstrating the power of the Starfall Empire's bloody system.

Just then, a soldier covered in dust was brought into the hall: "Urgent report from the post station! Urgent news from the Duchy of Yunluo: the Kingdom of Chris has been occupied by Tiandou."

"What?!"

The main hall erupted into chaos in an instant, with a cacophony of voices buzzing around it. Even Emperor Xingluo and Tang Xiao looked on incredulously.

The capital of Xingluo is about twenty days away from the border country, but for the Min clan, it only takes a day or a few hours, depending on the messenger's cultivation level.

But they only learned that the Heavenly Dou Empire was pressing in when another piece of bad news came: it meant that Heavenly Dou had annexed a kingdom in just two days.

Although they have an advantage in intelligence transmission speed, their troops cannot keep up with the speed of support, which is also due to the fact that the border standoff in recent years has made Xingluo less vigilant.

Looking at the chaotic scene below, the Star Luo Emperor felt only frustration: "The matter is settled; there's no point in continuing the discussion. Send the troops!"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Tang Xiao's eyes flashed and he nodded. After leaving the court, he quickly returned to the Haotian Sect's residence.

As the number one sect on the continent, when the Star Luo Emperor learned that the Haotian Sect had come to Star Luo, he did not neglect them and even arranged for their residence in Star Luo City to be located in a prosperous area.

However, Tang Xiao had no interest in appreciating the magnificent and luxurious building at the moment, and went straight to the council hall.

Before long, Tang Hao and a group of elders walked in.

As one of the most powerful people on the mainland, they had long anticipated this situation, and what surprised them was the speed of the Heavenly Dou Army's advance.

"What should we do, Sect Master? Should we withdraw from this mess?"

The Seventh Elder's expression was solemn. Having experienced the great battle between the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall, he knew the extent of the losses his side would face if it participated in the war between the two great empires.

"I don't agree with getting involved either. If the Spirit Hall takes this opportunity to attack, we might be at a disadvantage," the Third Elder said, looking around before raising his hand.

Upon hearing this, two more elders voiced their agreement: "Our Haotian Sect has only recently begun to recover after years of recuperation. We should not suffer unnecessary losses because of the conflict between the two great empires."

"Elder, what do you think?" Tang Xiao looked at Tang Ming, who had been sitting calmly and composed.

The Grand Elder stroked his beard, showing no concern for the war on his face: "I'd like to hear the Sect Master's opinion first."

Seeing that the Grand Elder did not immediately object, Tang Xiao nodded: "I think the Haotian Sect should get involved."

"Elders, please hear me out!" Tang Xiao quickly raised his hand to stop the elders from getting agitated. "There are two reasons why I'm saying this."

"Firstly, our Haotian Sect has been living in seclusion for far too long, so long that some people have forgotten the power of the continent's number one martial spirit. Secondly, if we flee this time, there will be no place on the continent for us to recuperate and rebuild."

"Rather than saying I want to fight, it's more accurate to say that our Haotian Sect has no other choice but to fight."

Upon hearing this, the elders remained silent, and some turned their gazes toward Tang Hao.

They were well aware of what Tang Xiao was saying. After all, they had already abandoned their allies once. However, compared to reputation, life and the future of the sect were sometimes just as important.

For a moment, the council chamber was plunged into a difficult decision.

Just then, Elder Tang Ming suddenly spoke up: "I agree with the sect leader's opinion, but there are some slight differences in the details."

"The war between the two great empires cannot be decided in a day. If things become unfavorable for us, we can withdraw without anyone saying anything."

With the sect leader and the Grand Elder in agreement, the others could not object to anything.

However, as the meeting was about to end, the Seventh Elder suddenly turned his attention to Tang Hao: "Tang Hao, although your strength has declined somewhat, you are still stronger than many disciples. I think you should also participate in the battle."
