Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Clay, the Creator of All Things

Fortunately, he still had a trump card.

As thoughts drifted through the snowy night, the stalemate was broken by the arrival of a third force, which instantly shattered the balance of power.

"What a smug new Title Douluo! The Spirit Hall is truly arrogant!"

A powerful roar, like thunder from the heavens, resounded outside the main hall.

Immediately afterwards, a domineering and violent dragon's might swept in like a tsunami, instantly forming an encirclement with the auras of the two royal titled Douluo from the rear of the hall.

The Serpent Spear Douluo, the Porcupine Douluo, and Xue Qinghe were sandwiched between them.

The entire hall trembled violently, and dust fell from the glazed tiles on the roof. Even the air seemed to freeze under this terrifying force.

The officials felt as if a giant mountain was pressing on their chests, making it extremely difficult to breathe.

A tall and imposing figure rode the wind as he approached from outside the main gate of the hall.

The newcomer was dressed in a magnificent purple brocade robe, embroidered with a lifelike blue lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex pattern, the hem of the robe fluttering even without wind.

Blue-purple lightning bolts swirled around him like dragons, exuding immense power.

His face was resolute, exuding an innate arrogance and majesty. His eyes, flashing with lightning, were fixed on the Serpent Spear Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo inside the hall.

Yet, a hint of disdain was subtly revealed within it.

The newcomer was none other than Yu Luomian, the newly promoted Title Douluo of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!

His nine spirit rings shone brightly, with five black spirit rings layered on top of each other, faintly exuding a chilling sense of oppression.

Although his soul power level was only 92, the power he released was no less than that of the level 94 Serpent Spear Douluo.

"Hahaha, it hasn't been long since I, Yu Luomian, became a Title Douluo. I am also a newly promoted Title Douluo." Yu Luomian laughed loudly, looking at the Serpent Spear and Porcupine Douluo who were protecting Xue Qinghe in the middle.

"I'm being presumptuous today, so what do you two think?" Yu Luomian's voice carried an arrogant air as he spoke unabashedly to the Serpent Spear Douluo who was facing him.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex was already a top-tier beast spirit, further enhanced by the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique and the amplification from an 80,000-year-old dragon spirit bone absorbed during the Soul Hunt.

Yu Luomian was fully confident that he could fight against the level 94 Serpent Spear Douluo, and even defeat him.

Upon seeing Yu Luomian appear, Xueye's lips curled up slightly.

Three against two, the advantage is in my hands!

Chapter 240 has always been there

There are three great illusions in life.

This is a sure thing; I can turn the tables and win. The advantage is on my side.

Unfortunately, Emperor Xueye was completely unaware of this.

At this moment, Xueye felt that with Yu Luomian's intervention, the situation had clearly reversed.

Even with the support of two Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall, what can they do?

Don't say that Xue Qinghe is no different from him; in fact, he is also constrained.

After all, if the two Title Douluos of the Spirit Hall were to actually fight against the Title Douluos of the royal family because of Xue Qinghe within the Heaven Dou Imperial City...

No matter what, Xue Qinghe cannot escape blame.

In other words, if he were to take action, he would lose all face on Xueye.

However, Xue Qinghe's time as crown prince has come to an end.

The crime of letting a wolf into the house is enough to ruin his reputation.

Even if a fight were to break out, Xueye's side would be in a sure-fire victory.

Qinghe, oh Qinghe, you are still too young!

Xueye sighed inwardly.

Upon hearing the provocative words from the other party, the Serpent Spear Douluo standing opposite the Jade Crown also darkened his expression.

"Yu Luomian, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is courting death!" Serpent Spear Douluo's face darkened.

Just as the young master and Elder Lu had said, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had indeed sided with Xue Ye.

It's a blatant provocation against me and the Spirit Hall; it's truly a path to certain death!

However, the current situation is indeed very unfavorable to our side.

Although he said that Yu Luomian was courting death, Serpent Spear Douluo did not have the slightest contempt for Yu Luomian in his heart.

A person's name, a tree's shadow.

As one of the three upper sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was able to form an alliance with the Clear Sky Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan to fight against the Spirit Hall for many years.

The title of the number one beast martial spirit in the world is not just for show.

Although they did not actually fight, judging from their auras, Yu Luomian's soul power level was not as high as his own.

However, Serpent Spear Douluo did not dare to underestimate him, as he was not confident that he could easily defeat his opponent.

"Young Master, do you have a plan?" Serpent Spear Douluo secretly transmitted his voice to Xue Qinghe.

Xue Qinghe, however, gave the Serpent Spear Douluo a look that said, "Take it easy."

But in truth, Xue Qinghe was also uncertain. Lu Yan always said that he would take care of everything.

But where are the others right now?

Xue Qinghe was slightly annoyed, but he didn't take the three Title Douluos on Xue Ye's side seriously.

After all, with his strength, he is not afraid of anything, not to mention the royal family's titled Douluo, even Yu Luomian, a titled Douluo with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul.

It's just a pity that his strength must not be exposed, otherwise it will be impossible to explain it no matter what.

Therefore, Xue Qinghe could only wait for Lu Yan to appear.

Thus, after Serpent Spear Douluo uttered a harsh statement, Xue Qinghe's side fell into silence.

Upon seeing this, Yu Luomian immediately raised the corners of his mouth: "What about my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is none of your business, Spirit Hall."

"It's one thing for your Spirit Hall to run rampant and act recklessly in the Spirit Master world, but now you've even extended your reach into the internal affairs of the Heaven Dou Empire. You truly have the ambition of wolves!"

"If a gentleman can tolerate this, what cannot?" Yu Luomian shouted angrily, his words righteous and stern.

"Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is deeply indebted to the Emperor, how can we sit idly by? Your Majesty, Snow Night, the Jade Crown of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is willing to share Your Majesty's burdens!"

After speaking righteously and sternly to Serpent Spear Douluo, Yu Luomian bowed to Emperor Xueye and spoke loudly.

As Yu Luomian finished speaking, she displayed unwavering loyalty to the emperor, yet her dragon aura remained undiminished as she firmly locked onto the Serpent Spear and the Porcupine.

Seeing this, Xueye's expression relaxed, and her tense face finally eased, revealing the smugness and confidence in her eyes.

He slowly raised his hand to support the jade crown, his tone carrying just the right amount of satisfaction and authority: "Your loyalty is evident, you are truly a pillar of our Heavenly Dou Empire. With the assistance of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the empire is indeed fortunate."

He deliberately emphasized his words, his gaze sweeping over the officials in the hall, both to declare his side's advantage and to intimidate those wavering ministers.

The phrase "my beloved minister" undoubtedly proclaims to the world the current relationship between the Heavenly Dou Royal Family and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

After finishing his speech on a snowy night, he lightly tapped the armrest of the dragon throne with his fingertips, the rhythm steady and calm, revealing his composure and confidence in victory.

He was even more certain that the situation was now settled and Xue Qinghe had no chance of turning the tide.

Golden Lion Douluo Xue Xiao and Dark Sky Douluo Xue Qiong exchanged a glance, their tense soul power easing slightly, and a look of relief appearing on their faces.

The previous apprehension towards the two Douluo of the Spirit Hall was completely swept away.

Among the civil and military officials, the nobles and ministers who had previously jointly impeached Xue Qinghe all stood up straight and looked in high spirits.

Many people looked at Xueye and Yu Luomian with a hint of goodwill, whispering among themselves and echoing their sentiments.

In an instant, the entire court was filled with words of condemnation against the Spirit Hall and support for the royal family, as if they were just waiting for Xue Ye to give the order to completely plunge Xue Qinghe into the abyss.

Those officials who were originally neutral or secretly inclined towards the Crown Prince were now pale-faced, flustered, and trembling slightly, secretly lamenting their misfortune.

They thought the Crown Prince had the upper hand, but the situation suddenly reversed. If the Crown Prince falls, they will likely be implicated as well.

Thus, these people avoided eye contact, wishing they could hide behind the crowd, fearing being targeted and purged.

The expressions of Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo grew increasingly solemn, their soul power surging, but they dared not make a move rashly due to the situation.

Serpent Spear Douluo gripped his serpent spear tightly, his knuckles turning white. Although he was wary, his eyes remained cold as he stared intently at Jade Luo Crown, showing no sign of backing down.

The Porcupine Douluo was surrounded by purple mist, indicating that he was prepared for both defense and attack.

The two looked at Xue Qinghe and saw that he remained calm. Although they had doubts, they could only remain still and wait for instructions. However, the anxiety in their eyes became more and more obvious.

Xue Qinghe remained upright, his face calm and expressionless, as if the surrounding encirclement and discussions had nothing to do with him.

But deep in her eyes lurked a barely perceptible hint of reproach, secretly grumbling that Lu Yan was still reluctant to show himself.

However, he remained calm and composed, his gaze slowly sweeping over the smug Xueye, the arrogant Yu Luomian, and the panicked officials, a faint, mocking smile curving his lips.

As if watching a farce, this extraordinary composure made many shrewd officials uneasy, vaguely feeling that the matter might not be settled yet.

Similarly, when Xue Ye saw Xue Qinghe's behavior at this moment, her heart skipped a beat, and she had a vague premonition of something bad.

However, this premonition was quickly suppressed by the snowy night.

"Qinghe, what Uncle Xueqiong said earlier is reasonable. The Rescue Association was founded by Lu Yan, and all its members are citizens of Tiandou. You have already committed a serious taboo by using this as an excuse to involve the Spirit Hall in the internal affairs of Tiandou."

"But considering this is your first offense, I will give you a small punishment as a warning. You shall relinquish all your posts, hand over all affairs of the relief association, go back and reflect on your mistakes."

Xue Ye looked at Xue Qinghe and slowly spoke, this time with a hint of firmness and unquestionable authority in her tone.

Clearly, the appearance of Yu Luomian and the explicit support of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan have given Xue Ye more confidence in his words.

However, as Xueye finished speaking, an unexpected voice suddenly rang out in the hall.

"Your Majesty keeps saying that the Relief Association was founded by me. If you want to take over the Relief Association, why don't you ask for my opinion?"

As this voice reached the ears of everyone present, including the five Title Douluos, everyone was greatly shocked.

Because they discovered a young man standing with his hands behind his back next to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

This person was none other than Lu Yan.

But what shocked everyone was not Lu Yan's identity, but when Lu Yan appeared beside Xue Qinghe.

At that moment, everyone's pupils contracted, and in a daze, they seemed to remember.

Lu Yan seemed to have always been standing by Xue Qinghe's side.
