Chapter 20 The Star Luo Empire in Turmoil

Within a few days and nights, the Star Luo Empire experienced tremendous turmoil.

The deaths of Enci and Hu Jie are insignificant to Di Tian and the Demon Emperor, not even worth a few words about, but for the Star Luo Empire and the Tang Sect, it's a completely different story.

Enci is the dean of the Monster Academy of the Star Luo Empire, the imperial advisor, and the master of the Royal Offering Hall. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a pillar of white jade supporting the sky and a beam of purple gold spanning the sea.

On this day, Lord Dai Tianling of Xingluo Kingdom was in the palace, having just finished the morning court session.

The deputy hall master of the Royal Palace, a super Douluo, disregarded palace rules and broke through the palace guards at top speed to storm the palace.

"Your Majesty, the Palace Master... he has fallen!"

Just as Dai Tianling was wondering why the deputy hall master of the offering hall had forcibly broken into the forbidden palace, the news of Enci's death struck her mind.

"Bang!"

He slammed his fist on the table and stood up, his expression one of disbelief as he angrily rebuked them.

"impossible!"

"That's absolutely impossible!"

"My teacher's kindness is unparalleled!"

"He is a Limit Douluo, and also the only four-word Battle Armor Master in my Star Luo Empire!"

"You have deceived me!"

"Do you think that just because you're the deputy head of the Hall of Offerings, I won't punish you for deceiving the emperor?!"

Facing the furious Dai Tianling, the deputy hall master of the offering hall had a bitter expression on his face. He had initially disbelieved the news as well, but after verification by many of the offering hall's members, the fact that Enci had perished was now confirmed.

"Your Majesty, it has been confirmed that the Lord of Grace Palace has perished."

"He was invited by Hu Jie, the head of the Tang Sect's Star Luo branch, to go to Dragon Valley, but in the end he perished along with Hu Jie."

"The Tang Sect has also confirmed this news and stated that this was not a deliberate scheme by the Tang Sect. The Tang Sect's Vice Sect Master, the Amorous Douluo Zang Xin, will be coming to the Star Luo Empire to meet His Majesty in the coming days."

Dai Tianling suppressed his rage with his last shred of composure, regaining his rational wisdom. He knew that no one dared to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor, and no one would dare to joke with him about Enci's death.

The established fact, like a giant club, slammed heavily on Dai Tianling's head, causing him to dizzy, his vision to go black, and him to slump back onto the dragon throne.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Upon seeing this, the deputy hall master of the offering hall was shocked and immediately flew forward.

He was genuinely terrified. If something were to happen to Dai Tianling, he, the Super Douluo who had stormed the palace, would be unable to clear his name no matter what!

Fortunately, Dai Tianling's subsequent reaction put his heart at ease.

Dai Tianling, instead of fainting, suddenly pressed him down and, suppressing her grief, said:

"My kind teacher left me some secret pouches, telling me that I should only open them in times of crisis. One of the pouches was for me to open only when I was about to perish."

"That's great!"

"Vice Hall Master, I trouble you to guard the palace gates. No one is to enter without my permission!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Once the palace was completely sealed off, Dai Tianling took out a brocade pouch from a hidden compartment under the dragon throne. Inside was a letter.

[Tianling, when you opened the brocade pouch, your master had probably already perished.]

Everyone must die eventually; there's no need to be sad or upset.

[I left this pouch only out of concern for what will happen after my death. If I were to die unexpectedly, it would surely be at the hands of a powerful figure. Without the deterrent power of a Limit Douluo, the Empire and the capital would be in grave danger.]

[But what Your Majesty doesn't know is that my Star Luo Empire actually has a second Limit Douluo, namely my eldest disciple, Qilin Douluo Tong Yu.]

Upon seeing this, Dai Tianling frowned in surprise, but still continued reading the following content.

I know that His Majesty harbors much dissatisfaction with Tong Yu, a criminal of the Empire and unpopular with the people.

However, there are many hidden details surrounding what happened back then.

[Tong Yu had loved a girl since childhood, but his love was never reciprocated. Heartbroken, he committed suicide by poisoning himself, which caused a benign mutation in his martial soul. Under the reprimand of his family, he came to Monster Academy alone to study.]

[Tongyu's mother couldn't contact him and repeatedly asked his married girlfriend. Annoyed by her questions, she eventually had her Achilles tendon severed.]

This is also why Tongyu killed that girl.

However, Tong Yu only severed the girl's Achilles tendon; he did not actually kill her, nor did he torture her as rumored. The girl died from excessive blood loss due to lack of timely medical attention.

Regardless of whether Tongyu intended to kill the girl, as her teacher, I don't believe he did anything wrong.

[But Tongyu didn't see it that way. He believed that killing a little girl who was already a mother in front of someone's son was an unforgivable crime. Without offering any explanation, he voluntarily accepted the punishment of imperial law to atone for his sins.]

Sigh... As his teacher, I'm just frustrated and disappointed in him.

[Please convey this message to Tong Yu for me, Your Majesty: Being a sycophant to a woman who has no love for you whatsoever, you have betrayed your loving mother and disgraced your entire Tong family for eighteen generations!]

The truth of what happened back then is enough to clear Tong Yu's name; Your Majesty can confidently and boldly employ him.

The original text can be found at 6#9@book/bar!

[Tong Yu's mutated Five Elements Qilin Martial Soul, like my Radiant Holy Dragon, belongs to the divine beast bloodline and can nurture a four-word battle armor. With the joint forging by several holy craftsmen of the empire, he will become another Limit Douluo, a four-word battle armor master.]

Moreover, Tong Yu's talent surpasses mine, and he is in his prime. He is fully capable of distinguishing truth from falsehood at the Limit Douluo level, ascending to the Quasi-God level, becoming invincible on the continent, and becoming the new guardian god of the Star Luo Empire.

However, Tongyu is a stubborn child. If we want him to genuinely serve the empire, we must never use past favors to exploit him, not even in my capacity as his teacher.

[Tianling, you must treat Tongyu with the care and concern of family to persuade him to stay and assist you. Earn sincerity in return for sincerity; otherwise, the fate of a top-tier expert is not something you can decide.]

Words cannot express the feelings in my heart. Oh, my teacher is gone.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."

With tears welling in his eyes and a sore nose, Dai Tianling sat on the ground, leaning against the dragon throne, stunned for a long time.

Enci had no children of his own. He and Enci addressed each other as teacher and student, but in reality, they were more like father and son. Beyond being ruler and subject, they shared a rare father-son bond.

After an unknown amount of time, the imperial responsibility on his shoulders allowed Dai Tianling to barely pull himself together.

Looking at the throngs of people outside the palace gates, he tucked away a tear with the cuff of his bright yellow dragon robe.

"Vice Hall Master, please come in."

The noise outside the door stopped for a moment, and then a group of people rushed in.

His empress, his children, loyal ministers of the empire, royal courtiers... voices of care and comfort were heard everywhere.

Dai Tianling raised his hand and pressed down, silencing everyone.

His gaze swept over the many royal princesses, weighing his options carefully.

(Understanding) Sigh... The older princesses have all gotten married.

This won't do; it's not from my lineage.

This won't work either...

Finally, his gaze settled on...
