Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

The footsteps were neither hurried nor slow, carrying a certain unhurried rhythm.

A figure in gold and red stepped into the imperial study.

……

Within the capital city of Ming, countless members of the royal family who were closely monitoring the palace's movements received news of Xu Tianran's assassination attempt almost simultaneously. As they waited anxiously, the dark news arrived as indefinitely as the night.

My body is trembling, tears are streaming down my face, and my soul power is surging.

Ambition is stirring.

……

The scene of the Mingdu Elite Soul Mentor Competition.

On the competition stage, the final duel between Huo Yuhao and Ye Guyi has reached its climax.

Lich, skeleton horde, death knight, bone dragon—Huo Yuhao, having slain and devoured all his previous opponents, has unleashed several powerful undead creatures in succession.

Faced with the pure light attribute and the necromancy that had become even more powerful after absorbing many people, Ye Guyi could no longer hold on, and her face turned extremely pale.

Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed slightly. To be honest, he didn't want to kill Ye Guyi. Ye Guyi's Holy Angel Martial Soul was the natural nemesis of evil creatures and evil soul masters.

But he was already in a bind, so...

Just then, the long, deep incantation filled with a strange aura rang out once again, and the massive gate to the dead trembled violently. Centered on it, a large amount of light began to surge around it.

The light emanated an eerie golden-green hue, and the gate to the dead was gradually expanding.

Ye Guyi's expression changed drastically in shock.

The distorted light and shadow suddenly became clear, and everyone could see that from within the violently shaking Gate of the Dead, countless thick chains with sharp scythes shot out.

Ye Guyi's entire body was instantly covered in a deathly gray, and his eyes lost their luster.

All the thick chains suddenly yanked back, dragging her body into the gate of the dead, which looked terrifying to everyone.

It could no longer be called a door; it was more like a gaping, menacing maw, ready to chew.

A chilling, rusty voice emanated from that gaping mouth—

"Who else?"

The entire room fell silent. Most people felt a chill run down their spines, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.

Just as that giant maw was about to devour Ye Guyi.

Kong Tianxu, who had been silently watching the battle, suddenly shouted:

"He's an evil spirit master, arrest him!"

Chapter 319 The Great Explosion of Mingdu!

A demonic spirit master? Arrest him?

Many viewers, especially the locals of Mingdu who were quite familiar with the background of the Xishui Alliance, showed strange expressions after hearing Kong Tianxu's loud shout coming from the Xishui Alliance's VIP room.

Huo Yuhao is definitely an evil soul master, which can be seen from his bizarre and chilling necromancy.

The problem is, isn't your Xishui Alliance the lair of evil soul masters?

Although no one except Huo Yuhao showed any ability similar to that of an evil soul master in this match, who among the prominent figures present did not know the true nature of the Xi Shui Alliance?

What does it mean to say they're going to arrest him now? Is this a case of the thief crying "stop thief!"?

Huo Yuhao, who was about to swallow Ye Guyi, was stunned by this loud shout.

That familiar voice was like a bucket of ice water poured over his head, instantly bringing an unbelievable thought to the surface of his muddled mind.

Kong Tianxu?

Is he here?

However, Huo Yuhao had no time to think about this problem.

Before Kong Tianxu could finish speaking, amidst the explosive commotion of the surrounding crowd, a blazing purple-gold light suddenly shot out, piercing straight at Huo Yuhao like a meteor chasing the moon!

The light was so dazzling and intense that everyone present subconsciously squinted!

The menacing yet still light-attribute gate of the undead trembled violently, as if it had encountered some natural enemy.

The undead maw, which even the divine attributes of the Leaf Bone Robe couldn't cause significant damage, suddenly sizzled and emitted a sizzling, oily sound the moment it touched the dazzling light.

The purplish-black smoke didn't even last a second before it suddenly exploded!

From the cracked gate of the dead, a pair of eyes, which had gradually turned from red to blue and then cleared, were revealed.

This familiar feeling...

In the few seconds it took to fall to the ground, Huo Yuhao saw the figure flying towards him.

White robes fluttering in the wind, purple-gold eyes.

Confucius! Heaven! Narration!

Meanwhile, the scattered crowd had no time to be surprised by the internal strife within the Xishui Alliance, or why Kong Tianxu, a prominent figure in the Sun Moon Empire, would appear here.

Accompanied by several violent explosions, figures several meters tall, clad in humanoid soul tools, broke through from outside the arena and entered.

Those figures were tall and imposing, their bodies covered in streamlined metal armor, with a faint blue light flashing at their joints, and each time they landed, the ground trembled slightly.

They charged into the crowd like steel behemoths. Wherever they went, the nearly one thousand people brought by the Ordinary Alliance and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce were like targets in front of these powerful people who were at least seventh-ring Soul Saints, and they had no power to resist.

A young man, his entire body shimmering with intense light, charged at the forefront. His speed was extremely fast; wherever he passed, ordinary guards could not even get close. They were often sent flying backward, coughing up blood, with just a single blow.

It was Long Aotian.

"You have been arrested by the Inspection Department on charges of engaging in illegal underground gambling, human trafficking, and smuggling prohibited rare metals!"

Vina's voice resounded throughout the entire venue via the amplified soul guide.

"The Snow Demon Soul Guidance Group has obtained substantial evidence of your crimes! Immediately drop your soul guidance devices and surrender! Immediately drop your soul guidance devices and surrender!"

The sound of the amplified soul guide echoed in the night sky. The two big shots of the underground forces had already stood up. An Litong's face was extremely ugly, and Shangguan Weier's delicate face was also somewhat blank.

They wouldn't take Long Aotian and his group of Soul Saints too seriously, but what was truly terrifying was that there were at least ten unfamiliar powerhouses with nine Soul Rings flashing behind them mixed in with the Snow Demon Soul Guidance Group, or rather, the Body Sect's assault team!

An Litong and Shangguan Weier felt their legs go weak.

His Highness the Regent had agreed, so why is he going back on his word?

They represent the interests of the military and the aristocratic class. If they dare to take direct action, does the Xu family not want to stay in their positions and want to eradicate the entire underground forces of Mingdu City?

That's exactly right!

Kong Tianxu stepped on Huo Yuhao, who was standing on his feet, and reached out to steady Ye Guyi in his arms.

He transferred a wisp of pure spiritual energy to help her stabilize her chaotic aura, then sent it to Feng Ling behind him, and waved his hand to issue an order to execute them all.

Xu Tianran's only thought was to suppress the profit-making space of the other two forces and take the lion's share for himself.

Kong Tianxu, however, wanted to eradicate the dark side of the entire Ming capital overnight! He wanted to turn the entire Ming capital, and even the entire Sun Moon Empire, upside down and bring peace and tranquility!

Nangong Wan scurried over to Kong Tianxu's side.

His face was full of smiles, but those smiles froze into a comical embarrassment when he saw the person Kong Tianxu was standing on.

"Holy...Holy Emperor..." His voice trembled slightly, his eyes darting back and forth between Huo Yuhao, "This Tang Wu, he, we're not..."

Kong Tianxu ignored him.

He simply pressed the foot that was stepping on Huo Yuhao's face a little harder.

Huo Yuhao's face was distorted from being stepped on, and his teeth were chattering.

Have I been discovered?

Huo Yuhao felt a chill in his heart, but his mind was racing.

No, that's impossible. I've never used necromancy anywhere else. Those undead creatures were all summoned during the competition, and I've already dealt with them all.

Last time, with Elder Yi's help, I only used pure mental power.

What's wrong with Kong Tianxu?

Clinging to a sliver of hope, Huo Yuhao glared angrily at Kong Tianxu and said:

"I'm here to compete, what do you want?"

"Clap clap."

Two loud slaps.

The slap was so hard that Huo Yuhao's head swayed from side to side, and he saw stars.

"Still putting on an act?" Kong Tianxu's voice was full of sarcasm. "Who says you're one of us?"

Meeting Huo Yuhao's resentful gaze, Kong Tianxu grabbed his hair and, after a few lashes, ripped off an extremely thin hood.

Suddenly, Huo Yuhao's face underwent some extremely subtle changes: his cheekbones lowered slightly, his chin narrowed slightly, and the shape of his eyes also changed slightly.

A face that everyone in the Sun Moon Empire was extremely familiar with suddenly appeared in the eyes of Nangong Wan and Zhongli Wu.

With his disguise abruptly ripped off, Huo Yuhao's disheveled and shocked expression was completely captured by the pre-prepared recording device.

"This, this, this person, this face, he's not that cheater from Shrek Academy..."

Realizing what he had done, Nangong Wan's voice trembled, and Zhongli Wu's eyes immediately turned sinister.

Kong Tianxu glanced coldly at Nangong Wan and uttered only one word.

"pig."

Just then, a yellow figure appeared steadily behind Huo Yuhao amidst the chaotic waves of soul power and voices.

The figure arrived so fast that almost no one could react.

A large, fan-like hand, glowing with a strong yellow aura, was about to grab Huo Yuhao!

Xuanzi!

He had been here for a while, hiding in the shadows and silently observing Huo Yuhao's match.

To his secret alarm, just as Huo Yuhao had said, there were indeed several powerful evil soul masters present. There were even one or two whose auras he himself wasn't confident he could defeat.

Xuanzi had no choice but to temporarily suppress his murderous intent and wait for an opportunity to lead Huo Yuhao out.
