Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 255 The Retirement of Haotian Sect

The next piece of news caused an uproar.

Tang San, who infiltrated the Douluo Federation's R&D department and treasury to steal, was surprisingly released. Although his crimes were announced, the final punishment was to banish Tang San and his parents from Douluo Star, with the threat of execution if he committed the same offense again.

However, many people are puzzled, as this seems to be the first time that the Douluo Federation's laws have been applied in this way.

However, given that this matter was personally promulgated by His Majesty the Emperor Wang Xiaofei, people gradually began to accept it.

After all, according to the laws of the Douluo Alliance, the emperor is above the law. However, emperors are rare, which is why the law is supreme within the Douluo Federation.

The most severely affected by this incident was the Haotian Sect.

Originally, the Clear Sky Sect had already established a firm foothold within the Douluo Federation by setting up a blacksmith company, and the weapons they made were even very popular among the people.

But now, with Emperor Wang Xiaofei's order, it's clear he wants to force the Clear Sky Sect to continue its seclusion. Those who went to the Clear Sky Sect to announce the punishment results included the level 99 Sword Douluo and Golden Crocodile Douluo, as well as several level 98 Title Douluos like Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang. Their strength was formidable; even Tang Chen, a level 99 Limit Douluo, felt immense pressure.

Moreover, the Douluo Federation also has an emperor named Wang Xiaofei who has become a god. If Wang Xiaofei is attracted, it will soon be more than just a matter of retiring; the Haotian Sect may be razed to the ground.

Ultimately, the Clear Sky Sect had no choice but to announce its continued retreat. However, this time it did not cause a major uproar in the Douluo Federation. The Clear Sky Sect no longer had the powerful reputation or the great power it once had, and now only had a few hundred Soul Masters.

The other five members of Shrek Academy were like frightened birds, fearing that the Douluo Federation government would target them and that the little bit of power they had painstakingly built up would vanish in an instant.

Wang Xiaofei had no time to worry about such things. Holding a ball of Asura God power that he had peeled off from Tang San, along with the now-powerful Asura God artifact, the Soul-Breaking Spear, he returned to the Elemental Academy to further his understanding.

After traveling for several days, Wang Lanfang and her brother Wang Mingxu arrived in Phoenix City, along with Ghost Douluo, who was secretly following behind them.

The two had heard about the recent uproar, especially the matter of the gods in Douluo Continent, which made them yearn for it.

"Mingxu, just how powerful are the gods? I heard that His Majesty the Emperor actually appeared this time and directly suppressed Tang San, the Asura God of the God Realm."

"Sister, I don't know exactly how powerful the gods are, but they should be able to move mountains and overturn seas with ease. I heard that when the two fought, the heavens and earth almost collapsed. This time I came to Phoenix City, I also wanted to see the statue of the Phoenix God, to see if it's really as great as the legends say."

After communicating with one party, they arrived in Phoenix.

What came into view was a huge city, much larger and more expansive than Tiandou City.

When the two entered Phoenix City, they felt that everything was different from Tiandou City.

Tiandou City can be described as a commercial city with a thriving business environment and a constant flow of people, especially business people, for whom it can be described as paradise.

Although Phoenix City has a large population, even more than Heaven Dou City, the population does not seem dense, especially the Soul Master industry is very developed.

Phoenix City has the largest number of Soul Masters of all cities, accounting for about a quarter of all Soul Masters in the entire Douluo Federation.

In other words, the number of Soul Masters in the entire Phoenix City reached 50,000, and the number of ordinary people reached an astonishing 20 million.

Phoenix City's Soul Factory and Auction House are the largest in the entire Douluo Continent, and naturally, they are also the most orderly. No one dares to cause trouble in Phoenix City, and no illegal merchants or black market traders dare to operate near Phoenix City.

The two walked down the street, where vendors were calling out their wares. Besides daily necessities, they sold a wide variety of items for Soul Masters, including all kinds of Soul Tools.

People even found many shops selling soul bones on the streets, but the quality of these soul bones was relatively poor, with the most being thousand-year-old soul bones.

When the two entered the inner city, they were stunned by the sight before them.

All around the inner city were various office buildings, with the headquarters of all the major departments of the Federation located there.

At the very center is a mountain with a straight ladder leading to its summit. It is said that the ladder has 1000 floors and the top of the ladder is the Douluo Federation's palace. No one except His Majesty the Emperor is allowed to enter without permission.

At the summit stands a colossal phoenix statue, measuring a kilometer in length and width, resembling a giant phoenix overlooking the entire Phoenix City.

In particular, the phoenix statue exuded immense pressure, like a deity.

On the Heavenly Ladder, one could even see quite a few people cultivating.

Wang Lanfang asked with some confusion, "Mingxu, why would anyone like to cultivate on the Heavenly Ladder? Is there any benefit to cultivating there?"

Before Wang Mingxu could speak, a bank manager standing next to him introduced them, "Young men, judging from your appearance, you must be from out of town, right?"

"This Heavenly Ladder is also known as the Ascension to Godhood. It is enveloped by the Emperor's divine power. If you cultivate on the Heavenly Ladder, your cultivation speed will be much faster."

"However, Phoenix City has very strict control over the Heavenly Ladder. Only those who have made significant contributions to the Douluo Federation are allowed to cultivate on the Heavenly Ladder, and the time allotted for cultivation is limited."

"If you look closely, the people cultivating on the Heavenly Ladder are mostly high-ranking officials of the Douluo Federation government. According to His Majesty the Emperor, government officials have made tremendous contributions to the Douluo Federation and have spent countless efforts to govern it well. Therefore, the Heavenly Ladder was specially created to reward these meritorious officials."

"You should know that cultivating on the Heavenly Ladder is also an option within the Douluo Federation's treasury, and the contribution points required are extremely high."

After hearing these words, Wang Lanfang and Wang Mingxu were filled with envy. However, since they were both teachers at the Douluo Element Academy, they couldn't join the Douluo Federation. But they could ask their great-grandparents.

After some discussion, the two decided to first go to the Ministry of Education to find Wang Lanfang's great-grandfather, Minister of Education Huo Tianchen.

My great-grandfather was, after all, one of the ministers, a high-ranking and powerful figure in the Douluo Federation. Whatever the two of them wanted to do, it would always be good to consult him.

However, when the two arrived at the Ministry of Education's office building, they were turned away. It is said that the Minister of Education has been extremely busy lately and has no time to meet with anyone.

This left Wang Lanfang and Wang Mingxu speechless for a moment.
