Chapter 351 Binding the Children of Tang Shenwang
Bang!
At that moment, the head of the Zhu family's body exploded with a roar, blood spraying everywhere, splattering onto the group of officials behind him who had been urging Emperor Xingluo to surrender. Startled, the officials screamed and quickly retreated.
In the center of the main hall, space suddenly twisted, and a black hole appeared out of nowhere. Four figures stepped out one after another. Except for the last graceful figure, the other three exuded powerful auras that sent chills down the spine.
They were none other than Sea God Tang San, War God Dai Mubai, Raksasha God Bibi Dong, and Bibi Dong's beloved disciple Hu Liena.
"How dare you insult me behind my back? You are truly courting death!"
Tang San silently withdrew his hand—the one who had just struck the Zhu family head.
"Leader Tang, Mubai, you have returned!"
Emperor Xingluo's previously vacant eyes immediately shone brightly upon seeing the arrivals. He hurriedly descended to greet them.
The Zhu family head whom Tang San had casually crushed was a Soul Douluo with an eighty-nine-level soul power. Even a titled Douluo could not so easily kill him. It seemed highly likely Tang San had already inherited a divine position.
Hope surged within Emperor Xingluo's heart. As for Tang San's disrespect in casually killing a high-ranking imperial official, he chose to overlook it.
"Yes, Your Majesty, we have returned!"
Tang San lightly flicked his hand, his attitude extremely arrogant and lofty—completely different from the polite demeanor he had when first heading to Sea God Island.
This was Tang Shenwang's true nature.
In the past, Haotian Sect needed the support of Xingluo Empire, so naturally, he had to act humble before Emperor Xingluo. But now, as a god, he was far above a mortal emperor who did not deserve his courtesy.
Fortunately, Dai Mubai, now also a god, hadn't forgotten filial piety. Smiling, he said to Emperor Xingluo, "Father, both I and Xiao San have now inherited divine positions. Xiao San inherited the Sea God's position, and I have inherited the War God's."
"You've become a god too!"
Emperor Xingluo's expression grew even more delighted. Tang San was just an ally—still an outsider. But Dai Mubai was his blood son, and he would always stand on his side.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Xingluo is saved!"
What had been a dead silence in the court suddenly erupted into a frenzy. Everyone became electrified, shouting about launching a massive counterattack to show the Tiandou Empire their strength.
Tang Yuehua was moved to tears, stepping forward to grab Tang San's hand. "Xiao San, Haoge and Xiao Ge must be watching from heaven. They would be very pleased that you've become a god!"
Poor Tang Yuehua. If she knew her own elder brother was being drained by this nephew, she might not be so excited.
"A bunch of arrogant fools!"
While the hall was filled with cheers, Bibi Dong frowned and snorted coldly.
Her voice carried throughout the hall without disguise, instantly silencing everyone.
"What do you mean by that, madam?"
Emperor Xingluo suppressed his anger. After all, this woman had come with Tang San and Dai Mubai, and her aura was terrifying—likely a powerful reinforcement summoned by the two. It was better not to offend her unless absolutely necessary.
Bibi Dong disdainfully glanced at Emperor Xingluo. When she had been pope, she had never respected the two emperors, and now that she was a god, she sneered at them and then gestured toward Tang San and Dai Mubai, saying, "Go ask them yourself!"
"Father!"
Seeing this, Dai Mubai quickly pulled Emperor Xingluo aside and swiftly explained the recent events.
"What?"
After hearing this, Emperor Xingluo's eyes widened in shock. This woman who looked like a demon was actually the once stunning and incomparable pope Bibi Dong.
But this was a minor matter compared to the fact that the Tiandou Empire also possessed three god-level powerhouses. Both sides had three gods each—a three-versus-three standoff—making the situation still very precarious.
"Father, don't worry!"
Dai Mubai saw Emperor Xingluo's concern and immediately encouraged him, "Among the three gods of the Tiandou Empire, Qian Daoliu is just a divine official. He's on a completely different level from us gods who hold divine titles.
Once Bibi Dong and Xiao San hold off Xiao Yu and Qian Renxue, I can quickly defeat Qian Daoliu.
That way, we'll have a three-versus-two advantage, and victory will definitely belong to our Xingluo Empire!"
"That's good, that's good!"
Emperor Xingluo breathed a quiet sigh of relief and secretly transmitted through soul power, "However, Mubai, the cooperation with Bibi Dong is only temporary.
This woman is ambitious.
Once the Nine Star Hall is destroyed, you should prepare to eliminate her!"
Dai Mubai responded through soul power as well, "Father, don't worry.
Xiao San and I have long been prepared.
Right now, we are merely using Bibi Dong against the Nine Star Hall.
The day Xiao Yu and Qian Renxue fall will also be the day Bibi Dong dies!"
The sudden appearance of the three god-level powerhouses reignited hope for victory within the desperate Xingluo Empire.
Under Emperor Xingluo's command, the military quickly formulated a counterattack plan against the Tiandou Empire's vanguard forces.
…
"Auntie!"
Just as the plan was completed and everyone was dispersing, Tang San suddenly called out to Tang Yuehua, quickly approaching her.
"Auntie, the contacts you built through the Moon Pavilion in Tiandou City—are any still usable?
Preferably ones that can get directly into the Tiandou Imperial Palace."
"Yes!"
Tang Yuehua nodded but asked with some doubt, "Though the Tiandou Empire has undergone reforms these past years, and much of the intelligence network I built with the Moon Pavilion has been destroyed, a few contacts still survive.
But Xiao San, what do you plan to do?"
Tang San's voice lowered as he said, "Auntie, do you know that the current Tiandou Emperor is not of royal blood but the son of Xiao Yu?"
Tang Yuehua was stunned by the news, speechless with shock.
Tang San then solemnly explained the whole story to her—naturally, all information was from Bibi Dong, the benevolent mother of Qian Renxue.
"So that's how it is…
I never thought that Xue Qinghe was actually Qian Renxue in disguise!"
After Tang San's explanation, the shock in Tang Yuehua's eyes did not lessen.
After a pause, she regained her composure and said, "Xiao San, you don't mean to kidnap him and bring him to the Xingluo Empire, do you?"
"Exactly!"
Tang San nodded fiercely.
"Auntie, to be honest, Xiao Yu's strength is great.
Even after I break through to godhood, I can't be sure of victory.
So I plan to use his son as a last resort.
If things go wrong, Xiao Yu and Qian Renxue will hesitate to act rashly for fear of their child's safety."
