In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 234 You Demon!

Moon Pavilion, at the main entrance.

The sound of hurried, orderly footsteps rang out. In no time, the Imperial Ironclad Guards were lined up in battle formation.

"Why are the Ironclad Guards here?" This caused a commotion inside and outside the Moon Pavilion.

Zhu Wu remained calm as he strode through the door with the commander.

"What are Your Majesty's orders?" Having received the news before the Ironclad Guards arrived, Tang Yuehua gracefully approached and bowed.

The commander remained silent, then immediately unfolded the verdict in the snowy night and read it aloud.

The content was similar to the contract given to Zhu Wu before, but it described the crimes in more detail. It elaborated on the crimes of the father and son, focusing on Tang Hao's fight in front of the Papal Palace and the information Zhu Wu revealed in public, and made a final judgment.

In view of the series of contributions Tang Yuehua has made to the empire during her years of managing Yuexuan, she is granted a special pardon.

Before he could finish speaking, the surrounding crowd was already shocked.

"The Haotian Sect has been destroyed!?" This news was undoubtedly a bombshell in their minds.

"Where did Tang Hao get the courage to fight in front of the Pope's Palace?" He was filled with doubts, but such a big thing happened in Wuhun City during the Soul Master Competition finals, and it was impossible to hide it. The truth of the matter was beyond doubt.

"Has Tang Hao gone mad?"

"It's a good thing Tang Hao went mad, otherwise, the fact that the Clear Sky Sect was cultivating fallen soul masters would never have been exposed."

"I never expected that Tang Hao's wife would actually be a 100,000-year-old soul beast."

There was much discussion.

Tang Yuehua stood there, pale-faced and stunned, muttering repeatedly, "How could this be? How could this be?"

The event happened so suddenly and so shockingly that she was completely unable to accept it for a while.

"You may leave now," Zhu Wu said calmly. "I have something to discuss with this concubine of mine."

"???" Everyone stared wide-eyed at Zhu Wu.

This is Long Yingtian? The young sect leader of the Beast Illusion Sect?

Their expressions then turned strange; they instinctively assumed that Long Yingtian had proactively requested His Majesty to bestow Tang Yuehua upon them. This was utterly ruthless, akin to killing someone's spirit.

Killing someone's entire family and then forcing them to marry you—there is no more terrible punishment.

"I'll kill you!" Tang Yuehua reacted, her face contorted with rage, and she rammed into Zhu Wu.

Zhu Wu's eyes flashed, and with a burst of mental power, Tang Yuehua was instantly frozen in front of him, watching helplessly as her enemy wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Yingtian, I'll wait for you outside." Sword Douluo glanced at Tang Yuehua, then turned and walked outside. He knew, of course, that giving Tang Yuehua to Zhu Wu as a concubine was not Zhu Wu's original intention, but Xue Ye's deliberate act. As for the reason, it was nothing more than to save face for certain people.

After all, the high-ranking officials and nobles whom Yuexuan had taught over the years were nominally Tang Yuehua's students.

The commander bowed slightly and followed closely behind.

Tap tap tap, the Yuexuan students rushed out of the gate.

This is the young sect leader of the Beast Illusion Sect, a man who would exterminate his entire clan at the slightest provocation; they can't afford to offend him.

Soon, with a creak, the armored guards thoughtfully closed the door, then stood guard on both sides.

Zhu Wu then led Tang Yuehua to a seat and sat her down, lifting her onto his lap. Looking into her resentful eyes, he smiled and said, "Instead of hating me, I think you should hate your so-called second brother, Tang Hao. Back then, it was because of his recklessness that the Haotian Sect was forced into seclusion."

"He managed to hide in Holy Soul Village undetected all these years, but he couldn't have done it back then. If he could have, none of what happened afterward would have occurred."

"The current state of the Clear Sky Sect is nothing more than a repetition of what happened back then. After all these years, they still haven't learned their lesson. Not only have they failed to manage themselves, but they've also failed to manage their children. If Tang San hadn't been a bad boy who stole things from a young age, I wouldn't have targeted him because of Zhu Wu. After that, he wouldn't have offended me several times, and even become my mortal enemy."

"You can go out and ask around. When I first met Tang San, I never offended him on my own initiative. In fact, I helped him a lot."

"But what was the result? They repaid kindness with ingratitude."

"Your nephew Tang San is still young, so his impulsiveness and recklessness are understandable. But what about your second brother?"

"If he had intervened and disciplined Tang San when he did something wrong, would things have turned out this way? Unfortunately, there are no 'ifs'!"

"He didn't stop me; on the contrary, he aided and abetted me, plotting to get rid of me!"

"I think he probably felt that I performed too well, overshadowing his good son who possesses twin martial souls?"

His voice was calm, but he made no attempt to conceal it, and many people outside the door heard him.

"Yes! If Tang Hao could have raised his son well and managed himself properly, none of this would have happened."

"That Tang Hao is truly a troublemaker! He caused his own father's death and led to the sect's retreat back then, and now, tsk tsk, he's taken it to an even higher level!"

They whispered among themselves.

Inside the room, Tang Yuehua's eyes were moist, but the resentment in them remained undiminished.

Then Zhu Wu leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Let me give you a piece of advice: don't think about suicide, or I'll strip you naked and display you to the public. Also, your nephew has lost that ability. As for your second brother, he's currently suffering from hidden injuries, and I don't know if he'll be able to recover. But he's currently focused on revenge and is constantly blaming himself for Ah Yin's death."

"I'm afraid they don't have that intention, at least not before they destroy my Illusionary Beast Sect."

"So, if you die before I do, the Haotian Sect might very well be wiped out completely."

"Thus, you have become a sinner for all eternity in the eyes of your Haotian Sect!"

Within sight, Tang Yuehua's pupils visibly contracted.

"Besides, don't you want to live to see your second brother, your nephew, avenge your people?" Zhu Wu continued.

As he spoke, he withdrew his mental energy with a thought.

Tang Yuehua's body went limp, tears welled in her eyes, and she stared at Zhu Wu with resentment, biting her lip tightly.

"You monster!"

Zhu Wu simply smiled. "All I know is that to deal with wicked people, you have to become even more wicked yourself. Blame your good second brother! A dignified Haotian Douluo actually attacked a junior like me! Where's his face? If it were me, I'd feel ashamed just thinking about it!"

As she spoke, she slowly stood up and forcefully helped the person up, then patted her perky buttocks and let go.

"You will remain the master of Yuexuan. Remember to eat and drink well and take good care of yourself. Don't let your health collapse before my cheap nephew Tang San comes to seek revenge on his uncle. As for me, don't worry, I will come to see you when I have time. It is said that your mutated martial soul has a natural talent domain, which, when combined with performing arts, has the effect of cleansing the mind and body. I will definitely have a good experience with it then."

His gaze swept over her shapely figure, he smiled, and walked straight out the door.

He stepped out of the door, slammed it shut with a creak, and said casually, "The Moon Pavilion Master is unwell today, so the Moon Pavilion will be closed for the day. Also, starting today, the Moon Pavilion will be transferred to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's assets, and the Pavilion Master will remain unchanged."

He tilted his head slightly and said, "Take good care of my wife."

"Remember, even if they are just concubines, they are still my people, and I will not allow any dissenting opinions to be heard."

"Yes!" The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciple who was assigned to take over Yuexuan bowed.

The surrounding audience lowered their heads slightly, not daring to breathe.

"Elder Chen, let's go," Zhu Wu continued.

Chen Xin nodded slightly and followed Zhu Wu to the carriage, where they boarded and returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
