Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

"Sect Master, it is Elder Hua Qiang's head."

As soon as they arrived outside the palace gate, Yu Yuanzhen and his group saw dozens of severed heads hanging on the city wall.

A large crowd had gathered not far away.

"Goodness, such ruthless methods. They killed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan members without hesitation."

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that Xueye was a coward who only knew how to nod and back down. He had been holding back for so long, just for this moment to explode, right?"

"A snowy night? Wasn't it said that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe led the attack?"

"You're too naive. Everyone in Tiandou City knows that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe is a kind person. Would Xue Qinghe dare to do this without Xue Ye's orders?"

Many of those who were discussing this were members of various sects, large and small, who had only recently arrived in Tiandou City.

Many of them were planning to or had already joined the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, but with this sudden turn of events, they all chose to wait and see.

After Yu Yuanzhen and his group arrived, the noise of their discussion subsided considerably, but everyone's eyes were fixed on them.

"Judging from the angry looks of Sect Leader Yu and the others, this matter is unlikely to end well."

"Emperor Xueye underestimated the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan. What effect could his seemingly decisive actions have other than angering the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan?"

"That's not quite right. Xueye has been cornered. If this continues, his throne will be in jeopardy."

Yu Yuanzhen seemed oblivious to the various discussions.

His gaze swept across the city wall, and seeing the heads that were either bewildered, confused, terrified, or angry, Yu Yuanzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Because among these people, there was no head of Yu Tianheng.

On his way there, he guessed that Yu Tianheng might have met with misfortune, and he had already prepared for the worst.

It seems that old man Xue Ye still has some sense. If he dares to touch Yu Tianheng, I will make every member of the Xue family pay with their lives.

"Sect Master Yu, you've finally arrived."

Avalanche had been hiding somewhere, but when he noticed Yu Yuanzhen and the others had arrived, he jogged over.

As a prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, he should have been resentful of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, since the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect wanted to seize the Xue family's empire.

However, Xue Beng defected to the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect before many ministers.

After all, he had no hope of taking the throne, and it was hard to say what would happen to him after Xue Qinghe ascended the throne.

Instead of anxiously hoping that Xue Qinghe won't hold a grudge after becoming the Heavenly Emperor, it's better to directly pledge allegiance to the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect.

In his opinion, with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan being so powerful, it was only a matter of time before the Xue family lost their throne.

It would be better to pledge allegiance to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect in advance, thus securing a way out for oneself. Even if the Xue family's empire is seized, one can still save one's life and might even obtain a title such as Duke of Anle or Marquis of Shunming, enjoying a life of wealth and honor in the latter half of one's life.

"Avalanche, come here."

The avalanche, which was jogging along, shivered and almost tripped over itself.

"Sect Master Yu, this has nothing to do with me. It was all done by that madman Xue Qinghe. You know me, I am loyal to you and to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect."

"Avalanche," she said with a mournful face and trembling.

Yu Yuanzhen stared at Xue Beng's face for a long time.

Besides arranging for Yu Tianheng to marry Xue Ke, this avalanche was also a pawn for Yu Yuanzhen to seize power in the Tiandou Empire.

No matter how much Xue Ye backed down, Yu Yuanzhen knew that he was unwilling to give up and was secretly resisting, ready to strike back if given the chance.

But Xue Beng is different. If Xue Beng were to take power, wouldn't the Heaven Dou Empire be at the mercy of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect?
"Are you truly loyal to me?" Yu Yuanzhen asked coldly.

"It's absolutely true. I wish I could move to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan's base and recognize you as my godfather."

Yu Yuanzhen gave him a disdainful look.

How dare this pig-like creature be his godson?
"You must prove your loyalty. After we capture Xue Qinghe, I want you to personally take his life. Do you dare to agree?"

Avalanche shuddered at first, but then a glint of excitement appeared in his eyes. "I am willing to share your burdens and avenge the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan."

The avalanche deeply resented Xue Qinghe.

He could never hold his head up in front of Xue Qinghe, and was even afraid of him.

During the years when Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, disappeared, he was also groomed to be the crown prince. But as soon as Xue Qinghe returned, he was kicked away by Xue Ye.

Avalanche didn't think it was due to his own incompetence or lack of character, but rather believed that Xue Qinghe had taken everything from him.

He would gladly kill Xue Qinghe if given the chance.

Yu Yuanzhen nodded with slight satisfaction.

It's true that avalanche is a disgusting piece of junk, but that's exactly what he needs.

After Xue Beng personally murders his brother and then puts him on the throne, he will have no choice but to rely entirely on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan.

"I had heard that Avalanche was a spoiled brat, but I never imagined that he was so despicable. He was so obsequious to those who wanted to usurp his family's power. It was disgusting."

"You're not from Heaven Dou City, are you? Anyone who has lived in Heaven Dou City for a while knows that Xue Beng is a stupid and wicked good-for-nothing."

"Sigh, the thought that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe will die at his hands makes me feel indignant."

"Not necessarily. Perhaps Xueye has some trump card up his sleeve?"

"Pshaw, don't joke around. What trump card could possibly deal with a Super Douluo?"

Both sides despise Avalanche's character to the extreme.

“Take the heads off the elders and disciples. Anyone who dares to insult the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect will be punished tenfold.”

At the palace gate, Yu Yuanzhen solemnly addressed the elder beside him.

An elder stepped out from each of his left and right sides, leaped up onto the city wall, and prepared to collect the severed head.

Just as they reached their highest point, a flute melody sounded.

The two elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect trembled, coughed up blood, and their eyes quickly lost their vitality.

bang~
bang~
Two heavy thuds sounded as the two elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect fell to the ground and never got up again.

Outside the palace, all was silent.

Many people who thought the Xue family's empire might be coming to an end today looked on in disbelief.

It should be noted that one of these two elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan is a Soul Douluo, and the other is a Soul Saint of level 78.

But they died so easily, without even seeing who the enemy was.

"Who is it? Show yourself."

Yu Yuanzhen couldn't even believe that his two trusted elders had died like this.

His roar startled everyone behind him, who immediately covered their ears.

Why are you shouting so loudly?

On the city wall, a graceful figure appeared out of nowhere.

"Her legs were actually tails."

Some observant people noticed that the woman sitting on the city wall of the imperial city had a fish tail growing from where her legs were.

The Sea Maiden Douluo, holding a flute in her hand, sat casually on the city wall, looking down at Yu Yuanzhen and the others with a faint smile on her lips.

"What a beautiful woman! Could she be a mermaid?"

Onlookers marveled at the sea witch's beauty and mermaid identity, but to Yu Yuanzhen, the smile on her lips was clearly a mockery of him. (End of Chapter)
