Chapter 1221 The Real Crisis to Be Faced
"Clang! Clang!"
The Soul-Shocking Bell shrank in Ye Nanxiao's hand, turning into a small bell.
Although its size has decreased, its sound waves penetrate more strongly.
Amidst the shattered, strange lightning bolts, a dark mass of energy was drawn by the Soul-Shocking Bell and caught in Ye Nanxiao's hand.
That was the soul of the Nether Thunder Douluo.
It was scalding hot, prickly, and had a visibly sticky, sinful taste.
Ye Nanxiao temporarily stored himself in the Soul Suppressing Tower, then turned to look at Tianyang Douluo, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Junior Ye Nanxiao greets Venerable Tianyang."
Tianyang Douluo was still in shock from witnessing Ye Nanxiao's "Sound-Shaking Abyss-Splitting Blade".
He witnessed the disintegration of the Nether Thunder Douluo with his own eyes.
That veteran titled Douluo powerhouse died just like that.
Tianyang Douluo didn't feel sorry for Minglei Douluo; on the contrary, he felt quite pleased.
The evil spirit that harmed people is finally dead.
What shocked him was Ye Nanxiao's strength at this moment.
Although the Thunder God had been locked in combat with him, he had expended a great deal of his power.
But because he had been toying with him all along, he knew that the Dark Thunder Douluo still retained at least 60% of his strength.
But did they not unleash even 60% of their full potential?
No, when faced with a life-or-death crisis, Nether Thunder Douluo had already unleashed his full power.
Yet he still perished under Ye Nanxiao's attack.
Has Ye Nanxiao, this junior, already grown to such a level?
A new generation replaces the old!
Coming to his senses, Tianyang Douluo also gave Ye Nanxiao a slight bow, the etiquette being just right between equality and carrying a hint of an elder responding to a junior.
"Young Master Ye, there are still unforeseen events at the palace. I must take my leave now. I will personally host a banquet later, and I hope you will not find it inappropriate!"
Tianyang Douluo laughed twice, then transformed into a streak of light and headed straight for the Douling Imperial Palace.
Ye Nanxiao was not in a hurry, as the crisis at the Douling Imperial Palace had been resolved.
After confirming that the surrounding environment was safe, he conjured a piece of floating ice, swayed a few times, and his face turned pale.
The four spirits emerged from the sea of spirits.
Snow Empress helped Ye Nanxiao lean against the white wolf king, while Moyin and Bajiao warily watched their surroundings.
Ye Nanxiao felt that his own blood and qi were having some difficulty circulating.
The demigod's body emitted a soft, jade-like light, quickly helping Ye Nanxiao recover.
"That kid, Dark Leaf, really pulled a fast one on me!"
Ye Nanxiao absorbed the memories within his body, and the memories of An Ye driving the Nine-Tailed Battle Form appeared in Ye Nanxiao's mind scene by scene.
"Hmm, the souls of the three Holy Spirit Cult elders are enough to upgrade the Soul-Shaking Bell, but should we open a new soul weapon?"
Ye Nanxiao realized that his soul magic accumulation was almost at its peak, which meant that he would be able to access the next stage of soul magic.
That means that preparations for the new Horcrux can begin.
Although Ye Nanxiao currently possesses two great soul artifacts, the Soul-Suppressing Bell representing defense and the Soul-Suppressing Tower capable of preventing attacks by soul messengers, the Soul-Suppressing Tower is not a dedicated offensive soul artifact.
The Soul-Suppressing Tower lacks an extreme sharpness.
Ye Nanxiao shook his head slightly and rested his head on Xue Di's soft chest.
"Xue'er! I'm so tired!"
The Spoiled Fox is available for a limited time.
Snow Empress smiled, clearly enjoying herself.
With the death of the last of the three Holy Spirit Cult elders who invaded Lingdou City, the chaos that had swept through the entire city gradually subsided.
Tianyang Douluo's ability to become the Guardian Douluo of the Douling Empire is undoubtedly due to his formidable strength.
With his intervention, Xu Sanshi's pressure was immediately reduced.
Many powerful clans and sects that had resisted stubbornly eventually gave up the struggle.
With a cultivation level of 97, the Heavenly Sun Douluo could send their entire family to their deaths with just one palm strike.
"Kid! You're pretty good! No wonder you're the eldest princess's son!" Tianyang Douluo gave Xu Sanshi a thumbs up.
The latter's intense, primal aura made him feel a little uneasy.
Such formidable strength is truly worthy of being the fruit of the union of the most outstanding man of the Xuanming Sect and the most outstanding daughter of the Douling Royal Family.
More importantly, Tianyang Douluo saw that Xu Sanshi consistently protected the safety of the civilians and quelled the riots amidst the chaos.
He acted decisively, striking with deadly precision, his ruthlessness tempered with compassion for the people.
If he were to actually sit on the throne, he might become a wise and benevolent ruler!
The riot that swept through the entire Lingdou City did not see the appearance of the Ling Forbidden Army or the city guards, and Tianyang Douluo knew very well what this meant.
In particular, the Great Emperor of Douling and Xuesong have never appeared in person.
The signals released here left Tianyang Douluo no choice but to ponder them.
But the fact that he has been able to become the Guardian Douluo for so many years shows that he is very clever.
Protecting the country does not require touching the political rule of the empire.
The disciples of the Xuanming Sect dispersed, carrying various supplies, and carried out rescue efforts throughout Lingdou City.
Xu Sanshi personally carried a medical kit and went through the streets and alleys to provide first aid to people affected by the fighting.
Although he was still wearing a full set of soul-guided armor and a helmet, the hunters who had secretly begun to spread the word about Xu Sanshi had already spread the news far and wide.
They even installed soul-guided screens in the central areas where the wounded were being housed, playing videos of Xu Sanshi leading the fight against the enemy on a loop.
When the wounded began chanting Xu Sanshi's name from various strongholds, the major families knew that Xu Sanshi's power had been secured.
If they still want to interfere, those soul-guided cannons loaded with ammunition won't listen to reason.
In particular, the Chen family, the head of all the powerful clans, chose to submit.
Those with the most power to overturn the table have all submitted. Those who can only overturn the table by uniting together will likely be confronted by the young imperial guard as soon as they make any move.
The end of the internal strife also meant that many positions in the court would be redistributed, and the power structure would be reshuffled.
Having recovered some of his soul power, Ye Nanxiao landed directly at the Chen family's location.
Chen Yuanyu seemed to have been waiting for this moment. Upon seeing Ye Nanxiao descend from the sky, he took out a list from his pocket.
"Those who want to reason with each other are all listed above."
The latest novel is first published here!
Ye Nanxiao put away the list.
"Has the Gu family separated their assets?"
"The person has been caught; we'll have to deal with him personally."
Chen Yuanyu's words implied that whether the Gu family should remain or be separated was entirely up to Gu Xiyu.
Ye Nanxiao had little objection to the ruthlessness among aristocratic families. After all, the Gu family's main branch had almost been wiped out, so naturally, they couldn't leave any hidden dangers behind.
"Next, there's one more thing I need you to do." Ye Nanxiao's eyes flickered slightly.
Chen Yuanyu's lips curled up slightly. He knew that Ye Nanxiao's instructions meant that the Chen family was beginning to catch his eye.
When you get things done, there are benefits to be gained.
If the profits are large enough, even powerful families can act like lackeys.
Given the choice between serving a useless emperor who can't even protect himself, or being a lackey for an unparalleled powerhouse, any intelligent person would know which to choose.
After receiving Ye Nanxiao's orders, Chen Yuanyu left.
The chaos in the Douling Imperial Palace has been brought under control.
Xue Lingxun secretly took control of all the city gates, keeping the Douling nobles who had secretly fled the palace outside.
Xu Yi contacted Xu Tenghai, asking the Xuanming Sect to keep a close watch on their old enemies.
The entire city descended into chaos, with some taking advantage of the situation to stir up trouble.
Xu Sanshi happens to hold the title of Shao Yu.
Leading the disciples and hunters of the Xuanming Sect, they swept through the enemy lines.
When Ye Nanxiao found Jiang Nannan and the others to gather at the palace, there were already many people gathered at the front gate of the palace. They were all noble families and sects who had been bound by soul-locking shackles.
"Is this too much for the palace dungeons to hold?" Ye Nanxiao raised an eyebrow, conjured a piece of floating ice, and flew over the half-dead prisoners.
Xu Lin is the one who is counting and guarding these prisoners.
Upon seeing Ye Nanxiao, Xu Lin raised his hand in greeting, "Brother Ye! The young master is still busy capturing people; this is just the beginning!"
The palace dungeon could hold about five hundred prisoners, and there were at least two or three hundred more people crammed in front of the outer gate.
However, given Xu Sanshi's personality, this group will probably only find the ringleader, and the rest will all be imprisoned in Soul-Locking Nails and assigned to dig stones and build roads on the coast.
Xu Lin gestured to another elder, and he personally led Ye Nanxiao into the palace.
Xue Lingxun and Xu Yi, along with Tianyang Douluo, personally came out of the Lingyuan Hall to meet.
"Brother Ye, I am deeply grateful. If you ever need anything in the future, please come to the Xuanming Sect. I, Xu Yi, will never refuse!" Xu Yi bowed to Ye Nanxiao to express his gratitude for Ye Nanxiao's great kindness.
This awakened Xu Sanshi, who successfully stormed into Lingdou City and rescued Xue Lingxun from her predicament.
Even now, his son is only one step away from the throne of the Douling Empire.
Although Xu Yi knew that Ye Nanxiao must have come with a purpose, he only needed to know one thing: Ye Nanxiao and Xu Sanshi were brothers and their relationship was not bad.
Ye Nanxiao accepted Xu Yi's greeting, knowing he would need the Xuanming Sect's help in the future, so he didn't stand on ceremony.
Xue Lingxun knew that Ye Nanxiao had important business to attend to, so she led everyone into the Lingyuan Hall.
Inside the Lingyuan Hall, a large round table was set up, which seemed out of place with the surrounding environment.
However, no one had any objections.
After all, there was only one chair in the Lingyuan Hall.
That is the imperial throne.
Ye Nanxiao went straight to the point: "The three of you, the continent is facing a great crisis. If we are not careful, the result could be a devastating catastrophe that wipes out all life on the continent!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Lingxun and the other two exchanged glances, their faces all serious.
Ye Nanxiao had no reason to lie to them at this juncture.
Furthermore, Ye Nanxiao's actions so far resemble the construction of a military fortress.
Using the entire Douling Empire as its base.
He was tasked with purging corrupt officials, building an armory for Xu Sanshi, training troops, establishing intelligence, and winning over powerful families, among other things.
Once the group outside the palace and the group in the dungeon are all taken away, the heart of the Douling Empire can be said to have been cleared of 80% of its burden.
Ye Nanxiao took out a projector and a soul guide screen from his storage ring.
"The three of you, what you are about to witness is the true crisis facing the mainland." (End of Chapter)
