Chapter 275

Gu Xuan, accompanied by Du Gu Yan and four Ghost Leopard Titled Douluo, infiltrated the Tian Dou Empire at ten o'clock in the early morning.

Now Gu Xuan's spatial gate is actually not much different from Gu Rong's, and even because of his terrifying talent and powerful mental strength, the transmission distance even far exceeds Gu Rong's by a lot.

Bi Bi Dong

On the way, Gu Xuan observed that there were temporarily no Spirit Hall members inside Tian Dou City; all Spirit Hall members had gathered in the imperial palace, their main goal being to control the palace and seize power.

Upon reaching the palace, Gu Xuan discovered that the palace had already been taken over by Spirit Hall personnel, and a bloody aura permeated everywhere; however, most of the fallen were corpses of the palace guard.

The number of guards protecting the palace reached fifty thousand, among them nearly 1,500 were Soul Masters, but now most of those loyal to the imperial family have already perished.

Seven Treasure Glazed Sect

There were about a thousand Soul Masters, among whom the Light Soul Titled Douluo-level experts numbered over twenty, which is absolutely a terrifying number.

Because the total number of Titled Douluo across the entire continent is only just over three hundred, and moreover, most of the Spirit Hall's combat power in this operation has been directed toward attacking the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect; yet there are still so many Titled Douluo-level experts inside the palace, which suffices to show how much Bi Bi Dong values seizing the imperial family.

When Gu Xuan, accompanied by Du Gu Yan, the Ghost Leopard Titled Douluo, the Porcupine Titled Douluo, the Snake Spear Titled Douluo, and the Spirit Kite Titled Douluo, a group of six, arrived at the palace, their sudden appearance immediately caused an uproar.

The over a thousand Soul Masters surrounding the residence of the Snow Night Emperor outside instantly bristled like startled cats.

After all, the people appearing here at this moment, aside from reinforcements from the Spirit Hall, could only possibly be reinforcements coming to support the Tian Dou imperial family.

But now they are launching a surprise attack, intending to seize the Tian Dou regime with thunderous force—how could anyone possibly know?

After all, they didn't even alarm anyone inside Tian Dou City, merely surrounding the entire palace; even when they launched the attack, not a single bird flew out.

Although the appearance of Gu Xuan and his group was sudden, upon seeing the four Ghost Leopard Titled Douluo, they instantly relaxed, because these four were elders of the Spirit Hall.

But at this moment they should be carrying out their respective missions—why would they suddenly appear in the palace?

As for Gu Xuan and Du Gu Yan, there were also people present who knew them, after all the imperial family's interior was already riddled with holes, some of whom were Spirit Hall infiltrators.

But although they knew Gu Xuan and Du Gu Yan, they were unclear about their abilities, merely thinking that the four Ghost Leopard Titled Douluo had already captured Gu Xuan and Du Gu Yan.

After all, they also knew that Gu Xuan is currently the imperial family's prince consort; now that the imperial family has been completely exterminated, if Gu Xuan, this prince consort, were to step forward, it could also affect the plan.

Ghost Leopard Douluo

Below, a Soul Master whose soul power was already approaching Titled Douluo level bowed to the four Ghost Leopard Titled Douluo and said, 'Ghost Leopard Elder, we have just taken the palace; His Holiness the Holy Dragon is inside assisting the Crown Prince, you have come this time…'

Before he could finish speaking, a Soul Master who had attended Gu Xuan's wedding day whispered beside the questioning Soul Master, 'Elder Tuoba, something's off—Gu Xuan is the young master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, and Du Gu Yan is his woman; if they had been captured by the four elders, why would they be at the very front of the four elders? Moreover, they seem to be taking the lead.'

As soon as he spoke, Tuoba Hui, who was called an elder, also instantly sensed something was wrong; just as he was about to ask about the original matter, the Ghost Leopard Titled Douluo's voice sounded:

'The Spirit Hall's Pontiff Bi Bi Dong harbors malicious intent, plotting to usurp power and replace the Tian Dou imperial family; now you all conspiring to murder the imperial clan have already committed the grave crime of treason. I, following Prince Gu Xuan, have come here specially to execute the traitors and purge the rebels.'

'What?!' Upon hearing the Ghost Leopard Titled Douluo's words, the Spirit Hall-affiliated Soul Masters below all wore looks of shock, utterly incredulous.

At this moment they had only one earth-shattering thought: could their own leadership have defected?

They weren't just not coming to help them; they were actually bringing people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect to stop them.

But why? Clearly these four Titled Douluo are long-established figures; why would they betray the Spirit Hall?

Crown Prince

Tuoba Hui even found it somewhat hard to believe, but after verifying again, he confirmed that the four Ghost Leopard Titled Douluo were indeed not disguises or impostors, but their true selves.

But… why would they betray the Spirit Hall?

'Ghost Leopard Elder, you… what are you saying?!' Tuoba Hui attempted to change the stance of the Ghost Leopard Titled Douluo and the others.

However, the Ghost Leopard Titled Douluo and the others didn't even glance at him; they simply stood firm in the heavens, looking down on the crowd below, yet they did not rush to attack.

Just then, a white-clad armored figure suddenly flew out from within the Snow Night Emperor's residence; after appearing and confirming the identities of the Ghost Leopard Titled Douluo and the others, they likewise wore a look of disbelief.

'Ghost Leopard Elder, is what you just said true?' Tuoba Yu raised his head to look at the Ghost Leopard Titled Douluo and the others, questioning.

However, facing Tuoba Yu's questioning, the Ghost Leopard Titled Douluo didn't even bother to answer, instead advising: 'Holy Dragon, breaking through to Titled Douluo is no easy feat, and you know the hardships involved; now if you surrender, there is still a glimmer of hope.'

As for Tuoba Yu, Gu Xuan actually didn't harbor a great killing intent toward him; although according to the information given by the Ghost Leopard Titled Douluo and others, Tuoba Yu was promoted by Bi Bi Dong personally, and although he had just broken through to Titled Douluo, his character was decent, so if he could be persuaded to surrender, he would also be a decent subordinate.

Moreover, the Holy Dragon Sect he leads, although not among the seven major sects, is still a respectable Soul Master force; among the over a thousand Soul Masters present, basically eighty percent are from his Holy Dragon Sect.

Originally, the Holy Dragon Sect gradually faded from the Soul Master world after being suppressed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, in order to avoid being targeted again by that sect, which caused them to miss the opportunity to be elected as one of the seven major sects.

Tian Dou Regime

When Bi Bi Dong initially assigned tasks, she did not assign Tuoba Yu to attack the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect; at that time Tuoba Yu was still somewhat displeased, after all, the humiliation inflicted by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect back then is something he has always remembered.

Simply taking down the imperial family and vying for the throne is likewise an important part of Bi Bi Dong's plan; moreover, Tuoba Yu's breakthrough to Titled Douluo is why he was put in charge of this.

But he had just assisted False Snow Clear River No. 2 in taking over the imperial palace, and just now 'forced' Emperor Snow Ye to issue an edict abdicating in favor of False Snow Clear River No. 2 when Ghost Leopard Douluo and the others arrived.

But Ghost Leopard Douluo and the others were not here to help him; instead, they had already betrayed the Spirit Hall and come to purge the rebellious faction?
