It wasn't until we walked two blocks that the atmosphere eased a little.
Ning Rongrong patted her chest, looking both frightened and excited, and said, "Wow, that really scared me to death! But Sister Bing'er, you were so cool! That guy, who seemed to be the patriarch of the Power Clan, one of the four single-attribute clans, was crushed by you in one go! That was so awesome!"
Xiao Wu nodded repeatedly, "That's right! That old man was so evil, he actually tried to kill us, good riddance!"
Xue Qinghe walked beside them, listening to their conversation with a gentle smile on his lips.
But in her heart, a storm was already raging.
She wasn't lying; she was indeed enjoying tea in a nearby attic.
So she saw everything that just happened.
Qian Renxue was secretly alarmed:
'Apart from the Snow Empress, who is suspected to be at level 99.'
'This Hyotei's strength is absolutely no less than any of the Elders in the Hall of Elders except for my grandfather!'
'I just wonder, who's stronger, her or Grandpa Golden Crocodile...'
"Your Excellency Ice Emperor," Xue Qinghe suddenly spoke, his tone tinged with helplessness, "To be honest, your attack just now… was indeed a bit too heavy-handed. After all, he was the patriarch of the Power Clan, a figure of considerable importance in Heaven Dou City. Your killing of someone in the street like that will likely cause quite a bit of panic."
Hyotei opened his mouth, but unusually did not refute it.
Because it was only after this incident that she realized that her casual actions might indirectly affect Dongfang Jing.
Wang Qiu'er, who had been silent until now, suddenly snorted coldly: "That bastard slandered us without even knowing the facts, accusing us of seducing his son, and even wanted to take us back. What's the point of keeping such a person around?"
"The old ones and the even older ones are all dead, it's a pity that the young one got away." Wang Qiu'er said with a regretful expression. "If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring."
Dugu Yan chimed in indignantly, "Exactly! Saying we seduced his son is utter nonsense! Don't they even know what his son looks like? He looks like a chimpanzee! We haven't even seduced Captain Jing, only a madman would try to seduce him!"
As soon as Dugu Yan finished speaking, she suddenly got goosebumps and inexplicably felt four pairs of eyes on her...
Xue Qinghe looked at this group of old ladies and felt a headache coming on.
She realized that the unidentified individuals from Purple Star Academy—Wang Qiu'er, Ice Emperor, and Snow Emperor—were all violent individuals.
but...
That's perfect.
The Power Clan are staunch loyalists of the Clear Sky Sect, and have always refused to submit to the Heaven Dou Empire or the Spirit Hall.
Now that Titan is dead, the Power Clan is completely finished.
This is definitely a great thing for the Spirit Hall.
Thinking of this, a smile flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes.
Good riddance.
...
at the same time.
The news of Titan's death spread like wildfire throughout Tiandou City and reached the ears of all the major powers.
Tian Dou City, Yue Xuan.
This is an extremely elegant and noble building, and it is also the highest-level aristocratic etiquette school in the Heaven Dou Empire.
A private room on the top floor.
A beautiful woman dressed in a silver palace gown sat by the window, holding a newly delivered intelligence report.
She looked to be only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with skin as white as snow, an elegant and noble demeanor, and an air of sophistication that made others feel inferior.
She was Tang Yuehua, the younger sister of Tang Hao, a second-generation disciple of the Haotian Sect.
At this moment, her face, which usually wore a polite smile, was filled with shock and sadness.
"The Titan patriarch... he actually..."
Tang Yuehua's fingers trembled slightly, and the letter in her hand fluttered to the ground.
"Killed in the street by people from Purple Star Academy..."
"An ice-attribute titled Douluo I've never heard of before..."
Tang Yuehua muttered to herself, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Titan is not only the patriarch of the Power Clan, but also a loyal follower of Brother Hao back then.
Since the Haotian Sect closed its mountain, the Li Clan has remained in Tiandou City, waiting for Tang Hao's return.
But now, the Titan chieftain is dead!
And he was crushed to death like an ant!
Tang Yuehua took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the grief in her heart.
She knew that this Purple Star Academy was anything but simple.
"Brother Hao...where are you right now?"
She looked out the window, her gaze piercing through layers of clouds and mist, reaching into the distant horizon.
...
Heaven Dou City, Martial Soul Temple.
Platinum Bishop Salas sat in a large chair, looking at the intelligence report in his hand, a smug smirk playing on his lips.
"Hmph, good riddance!"
He casually tossed the intelligence report onto the table, picked up his teacup, and took a sip. "The Power Clan is nothing but a bunch of stinking, hard rocks. Relying on their past service to the Clear Sky Sect, they've never taken our Spirit Hall seriously."
"I'm arrogant, and so am I, kid. We've finally met our match, haven't we?"
"Serves you right!"
Salas was in a great mood.
His Holiness the Pope had long ago given orders not to act rashly against Purple Star Academy, but to observe first, then show goodwill, and try to win them over.
This Power Clan is really something else, walking right into the line of fire.
Salas narrowed his eyes, a hint of apprehension flashing in them: "It seems I'll have to be even more polite to this academy in the future."
"Hehe, it would be even more perfect if they wiped out the other three of the four single-attribute clans as well, hahahahaha!"
...
Heavenly Dou Royal Academy
Flander ran into the office, panting, and found Yu Xiaogang.
"Xiao Gang! Something terrible has happened!"
Flander looked horrified. "Have you heard? Tyrone's grandfather, Titan, the patriarch of the Power Clan, has been murdered!"
"What?"
Yu Xiaogang, who was drinking tea, suddenly trembled and spilled tea all over himself.
But he quickly calmed down, frowned, and asked, "Who killed him? Where?"
"Right on the main street of Tiandou City! It was someone from Zixing Academy! I heard it was a woman with green hair and orange-gold eyes who crushed Titan in one move!" Flander gestured, his face full of disbelief.
After listening, Yu Xiaogang remained silent for a moment.
He then poured himself another cup of tea and calmly took a sip.
"oh."
"Oh? That's your reaction?" Flander's eyes widened.
"Otherwise what?" Yu Xiaogang said indifferently, "Don't you know what kind of person Tailong is? If it weren't for Erlong's sake, I wouldn't bother teaching this kind of good-for-nothing who only knows how to cause trouble."
"He was ignorant and fearless, daring to provoke a behemoth like a Title Douluo. He deserved to die."
"As long as it's not the mistress who gets into trouble, what else is it to me?"
In Yu Xiaogang's heart, apart from Tang San, Bibi Dong, and Liu Erlong, he didn't care about the lives of anyone else.
Moreover, although Titan was Tang Hao's former subordinate, he had no real relationship with Yu Xiaogang.
"By the way," Yu Xiaogang put down his teacup and looked around, "Where are Xiao San and the others? Why haven't we seen them all afternoon? What time is it? Why aren't they here for training?"
Flander scratched his head: "It seems... they said they went into the city with Mu Bai?"
