Chapter 124 Qian Renxue: I am the new emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire!
Yu Xiaogang: Believe it or not, I'll find Bibi Dong!
"The position of Crown Prince?"
Xue Qinghe smiled slightly, a smile carrying three parts contempt and seven parts composure in control of everything.
Xue Qinghe gently shook his head, interrupting Yu Xiaogang's words, as if looking at a group of ants about to drown.
"Now that things have come to this, since the ancestor is going to descend in person, and the future has been exposed to the heavens, there is no need for me to continue to hide it from you dying people."
Xue Qinghe stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze passing over the crowd, looking towards the brightly lit but lifeless hall deep in the palace, his tone as calm as if he were talking about a trivial matter:
"Just an incense stick ago, Father... oh no, that old guy Xue Ye, has 'passed away'."
"What?!"
The Shrek Academy members were shocked.
Ignoring their astonishment, Xue Qinghe slowly withdrew his gaze, elegantly adjusting his cuffs:
"A country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Now, I am the rightful new emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire."
With that, Xue Qinghe turned, his gaze piercing Tang San like a blade.
His previously gentle and refined demeanor vanished instantly, replaced by a sacred, noble, yet terrifying aura carrying an overwhelming sense of oppression. A faint golden light began to appear in his eyes—the sacred radiance unique to the Angel race.
"As for my identity..."
A mocking smile curved Xue Qinghe's lips as he spoke, each word ringing in Tang San's ears like thunder:
"I have never been Xue Qinghe. That corpse is long gone."
"I am the grandson of Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, and a descendant of the former Pope Qian Xunji."
"I am a member of the Qian family of the Spirit Hall!"
"Therefore, Tang San, it is only right that I call you 'Ancestor'."
*Snap!*
With a crisp snap of Xue Qinghe's fingers, ripples spread through the air.
Two terrifying auras, suffocatingly powerful, appeared out of thin air, one on the left and one on the right, appearing like ghosts beside him.
The old man on the left held a long spear, his body surrounded by a bluish-purple light, his eyes sinister.
The old man on the right was obese, his face full of scars, and his body exuded a nauseating, poisonous stench.
They were the elders of the Spirit Hall, the Serpent Spear Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo!
The moment these two Title Douluos appeared, their immense pressure pressed down on the Shrek Seven Devils like two mountains, making it almost impossible for anyone except Tang San and Yu Xiaogang to breathe. Seeing the ashen faces of the crowd, Xue Qinghe— or rather, Qian Renxue—regained her former haughty demeanor, a confident smile playing on her lips:
"No need to look any further. The Imperial Guards inside and outside the palace, and even the entire defenses of Heaven Dou City, have already been gradually replaced by my trusted confidants."
"Before long, the flag of the Heaven Dou Empire will fall, replaced by the Six-Winged Angel Flag of the Spirit Hall!"
Qian Renxue tilted her head slightly, her eyes gleaming with anticipation and ambition for the future:
"Moreover, the strength of my Spirit Hall already crushes the entire Douluo Continent. Even if your Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire were combined, they wouldn't be a match for my Spirit Hall. Not to mention, now we have the powerful ally, the Sun Moon Empire. With the Sun Moon Empire's help, both the Star Luo Empire and your so-called sects will be annihilated! My Spirit Hall will soon truly unify the entire Douluo Continent!"
Hearing this, Tang San's heart sank to the bottom, but his movements were extremely discreet.
Under the cover of his wide sleeves, his fingers moved rapidly, cocking a pre-prepared mechanical concealed weapon.
To buy himself this last bit of preparation time, Tang San forcibly suppressed his panic, snorted coldly, and deliberately retorted loudly:
"Hmph! That's utterly delusional!"
"Qian Renxue, you're far too naive! The Sun Moon Empire harbors wolfish ambitions. Although Tianmu claims you share a common ancestor, so what?"
Tang San stepped forward, his gaze fixed intently on Qian Renxue, attempting to sway her morale:
"From the very beginning until now, a full twenty thousand years have passed! Twenty thousand years is enough time for the world to change, enough to alter countless things. How much of that thin blood ties will remain?"
"Don't forget, Tianmu exposed that Wei Tianchen of the Sun Moon Empire first tyrannically occupied Seagod Island, and then even pursued them to the inland, personally killing the High Priest of Seagod Island, Poseidon!"
At this point, Tang San's tone became more forceful, and he said sharply:
"Senior Poseidon is a peerless powerhouse on par with your grandfather Qian Daoliu, and is also the spokesperson of the Sea God. Wei Tianchen killed her like slaughtering a dog, and didn't take your Spirit Hall seriously at all! Facing such a ruthless empire with terrifying soul guidance technology, are you so confident that they will genuinely help you, instead of swallowing up your Spirit Hall as well?"
Yu Xiaogang had been watching Tang San's movements closely, and seeing that he was still stalling, he immediately understood.
Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, suppressing his fear of the Title Douluo, straightened his back, and adopted the dignified demeanor of a master, echoing,
"Xiao San is right! Trying to negotiate with a tiger will only lead to disaster!"
Then, as if grasping at a last straw, Yu Xiaogang invoked the name he both loved and hated, shouting with a fierce but weak voice, "Moreover, Qian Renxue! Don't forget, I'm an old acquaintance of your Spirit Hall's Pope, Bibi Dong… even quite close!"
"If you dare to attack us now, I will do everything in my power to spread the news! Then, I will definitely go to Bibi Dong and have her personally kill you all to avenge us!"
Hearing Yu Xiaogang mention "Bibi Dong," Qian Renxue, who had been so arrogant, showed a hint of surprise in her eyes, then raised her eyebrows with interest, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"What did you say? You and I... the Pope of the Spirit Hall, have a close relationship?"
Qian Renxue showed no fear despite Yu Xiaogang's threat. Instead, she scrutinized him from head to toe, as if he were a rare animal.
Her gaze was filled with undisguised criticism and disdain.
Her eyes moved from Yu Xiaogang's stiff, perpetually frowning "dead face" to his unkempt stubble, then to his neat but shabby clothes, and finally to the mere twenty-nine level Great Soul Master's soul power fluctuations.
"Pfft—"
Qian Renxue couldn't help but laugh, a laugh filled with sarcasm and contempt, as if looking at a toad trying to cling to a swan.
"Master, I originally respected your theoretical talent, but I didn't expect you to be so arrogant."
