The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

"No matter what, a good result is enough."

Poison Undying let out a loud, strange laugh, then seemed to realize something and said with great displeasure.

“Xuanzi, don’t be so smug about your Shrek Academy’s success. With Yu Tianhuang’s talent, he will definitely reach our level within ten years. He successfully condensed his soul core before level 70. Once he grows up, do you think he’ll be afraid of the Sun Moon Empire?! I really regret my past actions! If it weren’t for Dragon God Douluo back then, I would have fought against your Shrek Academy no matter what.”

Seeing Du Busi's heartbroken and depressed expression, Elder Xuan burst into a hearty laugh.

Although Du Busi was arrogant and unruly, he was still quite perceptive. Yu Tianhuang's assessment of him resonated deeply with him.

Indeed, once Yu Tianhuang breaks through to the Title Douluo realm, he will be virtually invincible in this world. At that time, he alone will be enough to suppress the entire Sun Moon Empire. If the Sun Moon Empire wants to launch a war, it will have to consider whether it can withstand the pressure brought by Yu Tianhuang.

"Stop spouting nonsense, you old poisoner. Even without Elder Mu back then, you wouldn't be able to snatch anyone from Shrek Academy."

"Bullshit! If I really wanted to take this little brat Yu Tianhuang away, do you think you could stop me?" Du Busi retorted angrily.

Not to be outdone, Elder Xuan retorted, "You're welcome to try."

The assembled Title Douluos were utterly speechless. People of Xuan Lao's cultivation and status, and Poison Undying, were engaging in a childish bickering. However, very few of them actually had the right to interrupt.

In the next instant, Elder Xuan and Poison Immortal both stopped in their tracks.

Poison Undying raised an eyebrow and snorted coldly.

"You've been watching for so long, you should be coming out by now."

"Poison Undying, I never imagined that someone with your personality would go to such lengths for the Heavenly Soul Empire." An aged voice rang out. Two figures appeared one after the other from the void. The one who uttered this exclamation was an old man standing on the left. The old man had white hair and was definitely over two meters tall. He wasn't the kind of robust man with extremely bulging muscles, but rather someone with a very large frame. His eye sockets were deep-set, but his black eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

It was Ning Tian's great-grandfather, Gu Gu.

The old man on the right, however, looked much younger. His long black hair was neatly combed, his eyes were deep, and he was full of energy, showing little sign of old age.

Yu Yangyan, the former sect leader of Tianlongmen, was also Xu Zihuang's maternal grandfather.

When facing Elder Xuan, his cold and stern expression softened considerably, and he gave a slight bow.

"Elder Xuan."

"Yang Yan?! It really is you." Elder Xuan couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

"Good lad, your cultivation is almost catching up with mine."

Yu Yangyan and Yan Shaozhe were of the same generation and had both studied at Shrek Academy. Yan Shaozhe was a few years older than Yu Yangyan. However, Yu Yangyan was more talented. It was only due to his age that his cultivation level was not as high as Yan Shaozhe's at that time.

Now, nearly a hundred years have passed, and Yan Shaozhe is still hovering at level 95, while Yu Yangyan has broken through bottlenecks and reached level 97.

“Xuanzi, let’s talk about pleasantries later. Let’s break out first. The Sun Moon Empire has set up tight soul-guided arrays on the east, north, and south sides of Mingdu, and there might even be level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons. With our strength, breaking out won’t be a problem, but protecting our men won’t be so easy. Since you and Du Busi dared to lead a raid on the Sun Moon Empire’s palace, you should have been prepared, right?” Gu Lao said solemnly.

Elder Xuan nodded solemnly and looked at Poison Undying beside him.

Poison Undying said arrogantly, "Since I dare to do this, I naturally have the means to leave safely."

Although he didn't say it aloud, with the addition of two powerful figures, Gu Lao and Yu Yangyan, this breakout would be much safer. However, during the escape from Mingdu, what he needed to rely on most was Xuan Lao's abilities.

"Let's meet at the agreed location first."

On the other side, the black dragon that Long Xiaoyao had transformed into reverted to human form, but behind him appeared a huge black dragon phantom over a thousand meters long, hovering in mid-air and blocking the attacks from Du Busi, Xuan Lao, and their side.

“Uncle Long.” Zhongli Wu looked respectfully at Long Xiaoyao, who had returned to his original form.

Long Xiaoyao shook his head expressionlessly and said calmly.

"Let them go, you can't stop them."

The two then looked down at the dense array of cannons in the palace below, and they couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines. The foundation of the Sun Moon Empire as a nation was ultimately something their evil soul master sect could never match.

Xu Tianran had already been taken away to be treated by the imperial physician. Kong Deming did not pursue Xu Zihuang and the others. As a Title Douluo, he had already broken the rules by stopping Yu Tianhuang, who had the cultivation of a seven-ring Soul Saint, and he would not do something that would lower his status further.

Therefore, he had not launched an attack on Yu Tianhuang from beginning to end. This was also part of the reason why Xu Zihuang was able to severely injure Xu Tianran.

Of course, what Kong Deming feared most was that after he attacked Yu Tianhuang, Xuan Lao and Du Busi might also recklessly destroy Mingdu. Some things are tacitly agreed upon, and even he could not completely ignore them.

Kong Deming looked around, his brows furrowing slightly.

He didn't care whether Xu Tianran would perish, nor did he care who would control the Sun Moon Empire in the future. However, he didn't want to see the Sun Moon Empire descend into chaos, especially with the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult eyeing it covetously.

For him, the current priority is for Xu Tianran to survive and stabilize the situation.

At the same time, he was also thinking about another thing that concerned him greatly.

The operation to raid the Sun Moon Empire's palace was meticulously planned. Shrek Academy, the Body Sect, the Star Luo Empire, and the temporarily added Gu Lao and Yu Yangyan—a group of Title Douluo-level powerhouses—quickly rushed into the streets of Mingdu and reunited with Princess Vina and Princess Xu Jiujiu according to the predetermined route.

Xian Lin'er and the members of the Shrek team were also among them. Ning Tian's pretty face was full of worry, and she didn't even have time to greet Gu Lao. As for the Tang Sect team, they arrived at the Body Sect's hideout in Mingdu first, accompanied by Jiang Nannan, who was unable to move due to injury.

Vina eagerly asked Poison Immortal, "Grandpa, is it done?"

Xu Jiujiu's gaze also narrowed slightly, her fists clenched nervously. It's no exaggeration to say that the success or failure of this operation is closely related to the future development of the situation on the mainland.

Poison Undying said in a deep voice, "That shameless old man Long Xiaoyao has indeed colluded with the Sun Moon Empire. However, that little brat Yu Tianhuang still managed to find an opportunity to severely injure Xu Tianran. It's hard to say whether Xu Tianran will die from this, but the Sun Moon Empire should be in turmoil for some time to come. Our goal has been initially achieved."

"Tianhuang?" Vina and Xu Jiujiu's eyes widened immediately. It proved to be the right decision they had made by inviting the Shrek Academy members to participate in this assassination plan.

As they were talking, more than a dozen figures instantly gathered there. It was the assault team that had returned safely. There were seventeen people in total, and none of them were injured.

However, at this moment, everyone's eyes were unanimously focused on Xu Zihuang.

Xu Zihuang, however, only met the gaze of one of them and looked over.

Chapter 413 The Valley of Love and Desire and the Furious God King

Although Xu Zihuang had never met the old man before, he had sensed his presence several times during the All-Continent Youth Soul Master Elite Competition.

Based on the similarities in their martial spirit aura and soul power fluctuations, he roughly determined the old man's identity.

Yu Yangyan stared at Xu Zihuang with an equally expressionless face. Despite their inseparable blood relation, this grandfather and grandson's first meeting took place in such an eerie atmosphere.

Most of the people present knew about the special relationship between Yu Tianhuang and the Tianlongmen, and they all tacitly remained silent.

It's really not appropriate for these people to interfere in matters within the Tianlongmen.

Elder Xuan sighed softly and timely smoothed things over.

"Everyone, let's get out of here as soon as possible. Old Poison Master, you lead the way. Also, have your men notify the other Soul Master sects that originally belonged to Douluo Continent, so we can break out together."

During the round-robin tournament, Shrek Academy, Body Sect, and the Star Luo Empire, who had reached an agreement, shared information with the participating Soul Master sects that had considerable overall strength.

Both Shrek Academy and Body Sect are top-tier forces renowned throughout the continent, forming a three-way balance of power with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's Mingde Hall. With Princesses Vina and Xu Jiujiu vouching for them, the participating teams from those Soul Master sects naturally had no doubts.

The Heavenly Dragon Sect learned of the assassination plot against Xu Tianran through this information and voluntarily chose to join. Of course, only the most elite and trustworthy Soul Master sects could obtain such information.

As for those unlucky ones who were eliminated in the first three rounds of the knockout stage and were in a hurry to leave Mingdu and were captured by the Sun Moon Empire, there was nothing that could be done. After all, no matter how many strong people Shrek Academy and Body Sect had, they couldn't protect all the participating teams that originally came from Douluo Continent.

However, as long as those elites from major sects leave safely, it won't make much sense for the Sun Moon Empire to catch these few big cats and small cats.

"Let's go!" Without the slightest hesitation, Poison Undying decisively led everyone towards a viscount's mansion in the east of Mingdu City. This was the base of the Heavenly Soul Empire and their Body Sect, which were lurking in Mingdu.

Just as everyone took action, Xu Zihuang suddenly felt a strong sense of unease. He quickly released his Golden Eye Martial Soul, and a brilliant golden halo flowed around the obscure patterns around his pupils. Through the precognitive ability attached to his left eye, he saw scenes that would occur within the next three seconds.

Xu Zihuang's gaze narrowed slightly, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed Ye Guyi and Ning Tian's wrists, his aura exploding instantly.

Everyone present was awestruck by the aura Xu Zihuang was exuding at that moment, and they all turned around to look at him, their expressions changing slightly.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xu Zihuang solemnly whispered to Elder Xuan, "Elder Xuan, no matter what happens next, immediately lead everyone away from here. Once you're gone, do not linger. Don't worry about me; with my abilities, I can handle any situation."

"Tianhuang?!" Ye Guyi and Ning Tian exclaimed in unison, bewildered.

Time was of the essence, and Xu Zihuang had no time to explain anything. He gently tapped his slender index and middle fingers together at his brow, and then a ball of purplish-gold spiritual energy imbued with a trace of soul power was drawn into Ye Guyi's spiritual sea.

A mysterious golden eye pattern faintly appeared between Ye Guyi's eyebrows.

Before Ye Guyi and Ning Tian could react, a golden and silver halo suddenly enveloped everyone like a tide.

Everyone was startled and simultaneously released their martial spirits, using their most proficient defensive abilities. However, the overwhelming golden and silver light had no impact on them, only suppressing them and rendering them unable to move. At the same time, it seemed to contain a special pulling force, drawing Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er's bodies upwards into the air.

Compared to Wang Qiu'er, whose face was full of astonishment and doubt, Xu Zihuang appeared much calmer.

The God King's scheme has finally come to pass. He was somewhat prepared when he learned that Niu Tian and Titan had brought Tang Wutong to Mingdu.

But things are different now; he has the confidence to face Tang San's schemes without fear. The only thing that surprised him was that this time Tang San seemed to have included both him and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in his plot.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er vanished from their spot. Before disappearing, Xu Zihuang gave Ye Guyi and Ning Tian a reassuring look.

To the west of Mingdu lies the Riyue Mountain Range.

This is a vast lake, nestled among mountains. The water is crystal clear, and most remarkably, it is a blend of gold and silver.

At the very center of the lake, there is a circular expanse of golden water. Intense golden light continuously radiates outwards from it, like the warm glow of the sun. And around it, a crescent moon nestles.

The golden and silver light became even more dazzling, with clear gold and bright silver light rising up instantly.

Heaven and earth are turned upside down, the sun and moon become a lake. Heaven and earth question the Valley of Love.

At the same time, two beams of light, each over a hundred meters in diameter, suddenly rose from an area north and south of Mingdu City. These beams were strikingly golden and silver.

A tall, robust figure stood at the very center of the golden pillar of light—it was Niu Tian. He raised his hands high, unleashing a terrifying aura as if supporting the heavens. Points of dense azure light merged into the pillar; this was not soul power, but divine power far surpassing it.

The Titan in the silver pillar of light in the south of the city also made a corresponding move.

The Qiankun Wenqing Valley, located to the west of Mingdu, faintly echoed the two pillars of light, and finally the golden and silver light converged at a location in the east of the city.

With the combined efforts of Niu Tian and Titan, the Qiankun Wenqing Valley was projected onto this area. This is what affected Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er.

The sky over the eastern part of Mingdu City was completely dyed gold and silver. The intertwined golden sun and silver moonlight lingered for a long time.

The strange phenomenon in the sky attracted the attention of the people in Mingdu, which greatly alleviated the panic caused by the riots in the Sun Moon Empire's palace.

The Sun and Moon Empire reveres the golden sun and silver moon, symbolizing its encompassing of heaven and earth. Such an extraordinary phenomenon is truly a sign of divine blessing upon the sun and moon.

It's a pity that Xu Tianran is currently severely injured and his fate is unknown. Otherwise, given his personality, he would definitely make a big deal out of this to pave the way for his future ascension to the throne.

In the east of the city, a gathering point for various forces, everything seemed to return to calm after the golden sun and silver moonlight faded. However, Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er were nowhere to be seen among the crowd.

Elder Xuan, Poison Immortal, Old Man Gu, Yu Yangyan, and other powerful figures frowned deeply. The scene just now not only caught them off guard, but it had also suppressed their martial spirits and soul power, rendering them unable to resist.

"Could that thing just now be the latest soul tool developed by the Sun Moon Empire?" Even with Poison Undying's arrogant personality, his expression became extremely solemn at this moment, and he couldn't help but swear.

"That power is absolutely beyond human resistance. Even a Limit Douluo like Long Xiaoyao couldn't withstand it. Xuanzi, what do you plan to do? That little brat Yu Tianhuang is the hope of our original Douluo Continent. At worst, we old folks will stay and fight them. I want to see if they can stop me from going crazy." As he said this, a fierce glint appeared in Du Busi's eyes.

"Why do you seem more anxious than I am, you old poisoner?" Elder Xuan glared at Poison Undying with annoyance.

“Think about it carefully. If that power is beyond human resistance, how could it be something created by the Sun Moon Empire? Besides, if there really was such a powerful soul tool, I can understand why the Sun Moon Empire would use it against Tianhuang. But Wang Qiu’er has also disappeared along with it. Moreover, Tianhuang clearly sensed something beforehand when he said those words.”

Although Elder Xuan remained calm and didn't lose his composure, his inner anxiety was actually no less than that of Poison-Slaying Shao.

Poison couldn't kill him; his eyes widened.

"Then what do you suggest we do?"
