Chapter 142: Future Plans and the Palace Coup Showdown

~8 min read 1,566 words

After five years, the Shrek Seven Devils returned to their academy once again, gathering together with Flender, Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and the others.

Five years later, everyone had changed significantly.

Aside from Tang San, every member of the Shrek Seven Devils had reached the level of Soul King.

They were not as monstrous as Tang San.

"Xiao San, it has been five years, what is your cultivation level now?"

"By the way, why didn't Xiao Wu come back with you?"

Of the Shrek Seven Devils, only Xiao Wu was missing.

Everyone had a rather bad premonition.

Tang San said, "I am now a seven-ring Spirit Saint. As for Xiao Wu, she was captured by the Principal of Phoenix Academy, and her life or death remains unknown to this day."

"A seven-ring Spirit Saint!?"

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes were even flashing with brilliance.

This was his own disciple! Absolutely incredible!

Such a young seven-ring Spirit Saint! He would definitely become a Title Douluo in the future!

"Xiao San, you haven't absorbed a Spirit Ring for your second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, have you?" Yu Xiaogang asked immediately.

"Not yet, I have been waiting to reach Title Douluo before absorbing one." Tang San shook his head.

"That is good." Yu Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief.

"What exactly happened afterward? Weren't you already rescued by your father, the Clear Sky Douluo? Why was Xiao Wu taken away by the Principal of Phoenix Academy?"

"That's right, with the Clear Sky Douluo protecting you, how could that be possible?"

"Could it be that even the Clear Sky Douluo was defeated?"

Everyone was very confused, looking at Tang San, all wanting an answer.

"Yes, my father was defeated. Phoenix Academy dispatched more than one Title Douluo to surround and intercept my father. Both my father and Xiao Wu were captured, and in order to protect me, my father used all his strength to send me away at the last moment; otherwise, I would have been in danger too."

Tang San clenched his fists, speaking with a frustrated and angry expression.

He even added some embellishments to the story.

In his memory, it was clearly Ma Hongjun alone who defeated his father.

But for the sake of his father's prestige, he claimed directly that Phoenix Academy had dispatched more than one Title Douluo.

This way, even if he was defeated, it wouldn't leave people with too poor an impression.

After all, that was one against many, and with Tang San and Xiao Wu as two burdens, it had limited the Clear Sky Douluo's performance.

Others would surely think so in their hearts.

"It is rumored that Phoenix Academy has more than one Title Douluo; it turns out to be true!"

"This matter was exposed a long time ago, and they even admitted it themselves! There are at least nine Title Douluo!"

"Nine Title Douluo! That is simply terrifying!"

"I never expected that in such a short time since the founding of Phoenix Academy, they would have such a profound foundation. It is truly too terrifying!"

"If we want to rescue your father and Xiao Wu from the hands of Phoenix Academy, relying on our current strength, it is basically impossible."

Everyone gasped after hearing this, saying so with disappointment and powerlessness.

"Sorry Xiao San, we cannot help you."

"At least not in the short term. In the future, when we are stronger, we will definitely go with you to seek justice! And rescue Xiao Wu and the Clear Sky Douluo."

Dai Mubai spoke up.

He was now the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire, and as for the Crown Princess, she also hailed from the Nether Duke Mansion, but since this was their gathering, he had not brought her along.

"I know. This matter is my own affair; I shouldn't have dragged you all into it."

Tang San sighed.

He hadn't expected these people to be able to rescue them when he said it, as the disparity in strength was simply too great! "Damn Phoenix Academy!"

"To think they actually captured my goddaughter!"

Liu Erlong was very angry after hearing this.

"Erlong, you must stay calm. Phoenix Academy has already become a behemoth; do not go knocking on their door easily. We are only Spirit Douluo right now, we are no match for them!" Flender said hurriedly.

"I know, but I can contact the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect behind me! See if I can persuade them to take action!" Liu Erlong said, unconvinced.

"It is useless, and do not bring harm to the clan."

"The clan would never make an enemy of an academy with so many Title Douluo for the sake of a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beast."

"The loss would outweigh the gain."

Yu Xiaogang shook his head.

After being told this, Liu Erlong gradually calmed down. "Xiao San, what are your plans for the future?"

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San and asked.

"I plan to take a trip to Sea God Island; you should all come along."

"That is a place of inheritance left behind by someone called the Sea God, which can help us rapidly improve our cultivation!"

"I am now in urgent need of rapidly improving to become a Title Douluo!"

Tang San said.

He intended to take these five people from Shrek along with him.

Nowadays, he only had the Blue Silver King, a Title Douluo, to protect him. Future battles would involve too much, and he could be considered to be fighting alone; he needed a team he could trust to come and help him.

And these people before him were just right.

"Sea God Island! A place of inheritance left behind by a god!"

Everyone was greatly shocked upon hearing this.

Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

The Royal Imperial Guard had completely taken control of this place.

Just at this moment, a streak of light appeared in front of the Imperial Palace.

It was precisely Dugu Bo and the Chief Eunuch.

Because the speed was too fast, the Chief Eunuch even forgot to tell Dugu Bo to use the back door.

The Royal Imperial Guard became nervous one after another.

Looking at the many Royal Imperial Guards before him, the Chief Eunuch immediately took out a token: "His Majesty's imperial decree, bringing Phoenix Academy Grand Elder Dugu Bo for an audience!"

Phoenix Academy Grand Elder! Dugu Bo! This was a Title Douluo! The Royal Imperial Guard's expressions changed slightly.

They exchanged glances, not knowing what to do.

In the end, they let them pass.

However, just as they were about to reach the Imperial Palace, they were blocked by three people at the entrance of the Imperial Palace's main hall.

"You are not allowed to enter inside!"

"I didn't expect that guy Xue Ye to be so quick, calling Dugu Bo over!"

The moment Xue Qinghe saw Dugu Bo and the Chief Eunuch, he understood immediately.

He didn't expect the other party to actually go and get Dugu Bo to come! This was something he hadn't anticipated.

Because they had sealed off the entire Imperial Palace, no one knew when the Chief Eunuch had left.

'It seems he went through the back door. The old guy Xue Ye kept a trick up his sleeve and didn't let me know; was he deliberately guarding against me?'

Qian Renxue thought secretly to herself, her eyes narrowing slightly.

"Two Title Douluo, and they aren't from the Heaven Dou Empire; this aura belongs to the Spirit Hall! You wretch Xue Qinghe, you have such great audacity to actually collude with the Spirit Hall to harm His Majesty! You are simply unworthy of being a son!"

Seeing this scene, the Chief Eunuch instantly understood the cause of the matter and pointed angrily at 'Xue Qinghe' while cursing.

"Hmph, who I cooperate with is my business as Crown Prince. Chief Eunuch, Emperor Xue Ye is currently in critical condition, and as I am the Crown Prince, after he dies, I will surely become the next most legitimate Heir Apparent, the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire!"

"If you come to follow me now, I can let bygones be bygones!"

Qian Renxue said coldly.

The Chief Eunuch before her was a Spirit Douluo, which could be considered a decent combat force.

Being able to persuade him over would also be a good thing.

"Why! You are clearly the Crown Prince; no one can shake your position as the future Heir Apparent. Once His Majesty abdicates, you would logically become the next Emperor. Why must you kill and poison Emperor Xue Ye!"

The Chief Eunuch was very confused.

"Because I cannot wait."

Xue Qinghe said indifferently.

"Tell me your choice!" She looked at the Chief Eunuch with a cold and sharp gaze.

"I must save Emperor Xue Ye! Your conspiracy will not succeed!" The Chief Eunuch said angrily.

"Very well, kill him for me!"

Qian Renxue had no patience and ordered Snake Lance Douluo and Puffer Douluo to attack the Chief Eunuch.

"Hmph, attacking in front of this old man, do you take this old man for non-existent?"

Dugu Bo let out a cold snort, flashed to block in front of the Chief Eunuch, and slapped out with his palm.

The terrifying force directly repelled the two Title Douluo.

"So strong!"

She Long and Puffer were greatly shocked! (End of this chapter)
