Those city defense commanders who were usually high and mighty had already taken off their armor, changed into civilian clothes, and mingled with the crowd.

Because everyone knows.

Anyone who tries to stop this team will die.

In front of the palace gate.

The city gates were wide open.

Yu Xiaoheng led his men into the main hall of the palace without any hindrance.

Inside the council hall.

The opulent decorations seemed somewhat ironic at this moment.

Xueye sat on the dragon throne, his hands gripping the armrests tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.

The civil and military officials below bowed their heads, and no one spoke.

The atmosphere inside the entire hall was so oppressive that it made one want to go crazy.

boom!

Yu Xiaoheng kicked open the heavy golden doors of the main hall.

Sunlight streamed in through the crack in the door, casting Yu Xiaoheng's tall and slender figure.

Yu Xiaoheng stepped onto the red carpet and walked step by step toward the dragon throne.

His footsteps could be clearly heard inside the hall.

Every step felt like stepping on the hearts of the emperor and his ministers.

Prince Xuexing was thrown to the ground by two disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

At this moment, Prince Xuexing was no longer arrogant as before; he was just curled up there like a dead dog, trembling all over.

Chapter 572 The Destruction of Heavenly Dou

Yu Xiaoheng stopped in front of the white jade steps.

He looked at the snowy night on the dragon throne.

"Your Highness Xueye, I have received your terms."

Yu Xiaoheng spoke.

"But that's not enough."

Xueye's throat moved.

"Yu Xiaoheng, what exactly do you want?"

"I have already promised to give your Blue Lightning Sect 100,000 gold soul coins, 50,000 catties of refined iron, and 3,000 herbs."

"This is the limit that the Empire can offer."

Yu Xiaoheng shook his head.

"That was the previous price."

"Now, I want 80% of the gold soul coins in the Heaven Dou Empire's treasury."

"All herbs that are over ten thousand years old should be sent to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan."

"The management rights of all the empire's fine iron ore veins belong to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

"In addition, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy has been renamed the Blue Lightning Royal Academy and will be fully taken over by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

Hearing these conditions...

The civil and military officials in the main hall all changed color.

An old minister couldn't help but stand up and point at Yu Xiaoheng, shouting loudly.

"Yu Xiaoheng! You are threatening to destroy the very foundation of my Heavenly Dou Empire!"

"This is treason!"

Yu Xiaoheng remained silent.

He merely tilted his head and glanced at the old minister.

A wisp of purple-gold lightning flashed in Yu Xiaoheng's eyes.

boom!

The old minister didn't even have time to scream before he was struck by a bolt of lightning that appeared out of nowhere and turned into a charred mess.

Broken pieces of charcoal were scattered on the floor of the main hall.

No one dared to stand up and speak anymore.

As Xueye watched this scene, despair flashed in her eyes.

he knows.

If we do not agree today, the royal family of the Heavenly Dou Empire will become history.

"I... agree."

The snowy night closed its eyes helplessly.

"All resources will be transported to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan within three days."

Yu Xiaoheng nodded slightly.

"very good."

"In that case, the throne of the Heavenly Dou Empire will be yours."

Done.

Yu Xiaoheng turned around and walked out of the main hall.

The disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan began searching for supplies within the palace.

Boxes of gold soul coins and precious, aged medicinal herbs were continuously transported out of the palace.

The news of the change of dynasty quickly spread throughout the entire Tiandou City.

But to everyone's surprise, Yu Xiaoheng did not abolish the Xue family's imperial throne.

He allowed the Xue family to continue to control this vast empire.

On the way back to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan.

The Second Elder drove the carriage to Yu Xiaoheng's side.

His face was full of confusion and doubt.

"Young Master, there is something I do not understand."

The Second Elder looked at Yu Xiaoheng.

"The Tiandou Empire is now powerless to resist. We could have easily destroyed the Xue family, and you, the eldest son, could have ascended the throne and changed the dynasty."

"Why keep the Xue family, this scourge, alive?"

"If they were to join forces with the Spirit Hall or the Star Luo Empire in the future, it would be a problem for us as well."

The Blue Lightning Sect disciples around them also gathered around.

Everyone was very puzzled by Yu Xiaoheng's decision.

Yu Xiaoheng glanced at the Second Elder.

"Second Elder, how many direct disciples does our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan have now?"

The Second Elder was taken aback.

"There are only a few hundred direct disciples, and even with collateral disciples and those who have submitted, there are only a few thousand."

Yu Xiaoheng continued to ask.

"How much territory does the entire Heavenly Dou Empire have? How many people does it have?"

The Second Elder fell silent.

Yu Xiaoheng said calmly.

"The Heavenly Dou Empire spans thousands of miles and has a population of over 100 million."

"If we destroy the Xue family today and take over this empire..."

"Then, who will govern this vast territory?"

"Will the provincial governors in various places obey the orders of us thousands of soul masters?"

"If they rebel, should we send our disciples to suppress them?"

"At that time, our Blue Lightning Sect disciples will be busy every day dealing with those tedious administrative affairs and preventing assassinations and riots from all over the place."

"Who has time to cultivate?"

"The foundation of a Soul Master is absolute power."

"Instead of worldly powers."

"If we put the cart before the horse and neglect our cultivation for worldly power, then it won't be long before the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan declines."

"At that time, we will collapse on our own without any outside intervention."

The second elder broke out in a cold sweat, a look of shame flashing in his eyes.

Yu Xiaoheng continued.

"Moreover, the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire are currently keeping a close eye on us."

“Once we openly eliminate the Xue family and change the dynasty, they will use this as an excuse to unite all the soul masters on the continent to launch a siege against us.”

"If the name is not correct, then the words will not be proper."

"The Xue family is now our best shield."

“We took away the most essential cultivation resources and made them manage this vast country for us and plunder the wealth of the lower classes.”
