The aftermath of the Clear Sky Sect's destruction had not yet dissipated, and it could even be said that the news hadn't fully spread when Nangong Lingyun's decision instantly stirred up waves of shock and horror.
Almost all the forces that received the notice were taken aback, terrified, and then filled with deep powerlessness and despair.
Even a figure of Tang Chen's caliber couldn't stop the Kaiyuan Sect in the slightest, becoming like a praying mantis trying to stop a rolling wheel, crushed to pieces.
Not to mention the other ordinary people who couldn't even compare to the first generation Clear Sky Douluo.
Only two paths lay before everyone: submission or death.
The Heaven Dou Empire received the news first.
As important ministers, generals, and enshrined experts were urgently summoned,
the magnificent palace seemed to instantly lose its former glory and majesty, and the atmosphere became extremely oppressive.
Emperor Xue Ye tried his best to maintain his imperial composure, with no trace of joy or anger on his face, but his fingers were constantly trembling.
He suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and asked as calmly as possible:
"What ideas do you have, gentlemen? Please speak freely."
However, after he spoke, there was no response for a long time.
The officials of the court looked around, their faces changing with various emotions of uncertainty and panic, but no one spoke.
Even Prince Xue Xing stood there blankly, his expression wooden, and he didn't move for a long time.
A Divinity inheritor, a power surpassing the Ultimate, was not something that could be stopped by anyone's unwillingness or clever tricks.
Everyone understood that the matter had reached this point, and the only thing to do was to accept reality.
However, such a major decision could only be made by the emperor himself, and no one else could interfere.
Seeing this scene, the majesty that Xue Ye had managed to maintain collapsed instantly.
He slumped on the throne, his expression ugly, his eyes blank.
After a long time, he weakly ordered:
"Seal the treasury, take inventory of the household registration, land tax information, hand over the military seals, and begin preparations for the surrender ceremony."
Countless people below responded in a clamor, their faces filled with relief.
They were really afraid that Xue Ye would be stubborn, and then the situation would be a bit unsightly.
The Star Luo Empire also experienced almost the exact same scenario at the same time.
However, the difference was that Dai Tianli secretly felt a hint of rejoicing amidst the bitterness.
Zhu Zhuqing was also at Kaiyuan Academy, and even joined the Kaiyuan Sect, as Nangong Lingyun's concubine. Considering her favor, the Star Luo imperial family shouldn't be completely exterminated, right?
While he was still the emperor,
Dai Tianli issued his last imperial decree, conferring Zhu Zhuqing as an imperial princess, with a status only below him, the emperor.
Spirit City,
Yu Xiaogang had been very low-key since he fled here from Blue Tyrant Academy, staying in his room and not going out unless there was something important.
Because Nangong Lingyun exposed his lies, and the theoretical Grandmaster persona he had created collapsed,
he was afraid that Bibi Dong would change her opinion of him, so he didn't even dare to visit the Supreme Pontiff, living in a dilapidated old hotel on the edge of the city, relying on his monthly Spirit Master subsidy to barely make a living.
In the morning, after Gang Zi got up,
without washing, he immediately opened the door and pushed the small cart that the hotel had prepared in advance at the door into the room.
As usual, the small cart contained several rolls of the latest newspapers, a simple breakfast, and the clothes sent for washing yesterday.
He couldn't wait to find the Kaiyuan Daily and read it.
Unable to go out and ashamed to see people, this was almost the only way to understand outside information, and it was also the only form of entertainment every day.
The moment he saw the newspaper headline, Yu Xiaogang's heart skipped a beat, realizing that today's headline must be explosive,
because it even mentioned his disciple Tang San and the Clear Sky Sect.
And when he looked down along the headline, just after reading the first sentence, his eyes suddenly widened, and then his whole body trembled violently uncontrollably.
The newspaper in his hand fell to the ground, and he murmured in disbelief:
"The Clear Sky Sect, destroyed?"
Two seconds later, regaining his senses, Gang Zi quickly picked it up again to read.
Tang San used a large amount of space to describe his miserable experiences in great detail, how he was abused by Tang Hao when he was a child, with no food to eat and no clothes to wear, and he had to take care of a drunkard, shouldering all the housework at a young age, sleeping later than a dog and waking up earlier than a chicken.
After going to school, how he was deceived and deceived by Yu Xiaogang, all kinds of seemingly right but wrong, bizarre Spirit theories, all kinds of hypocritical and explosive brain-dead remarks,
often claiming to be the Spirit Master's world's recognized most powerful Grandmaster, or that other Spirit Masters were trash and waste, only his theories were the strongest, and only the most top-notch geniuses were worthy of his teaching, and so on.
As a result, a Life Attribute plant-type Spirit was actually tricked into absorbing a highly poisonous animal spirit ring, taking some kind of control route, and finally the top-level Spirit was completely ruined.
The spirit hunting process was also full of dangers. The Teacher was obviously so useless but so confident, which led to the two's lives almost being lost in the forest several times.
In the process of this narrative, Tang San also overturned all the conclusions put forward by the Martial Soul Ten Core Competitiveness and attached the real correct ones.
He only agreed with one of them, "There is no such thing as a useless Spirit, only useless Spirit Masters", believing that some people were indeed useless enough.
Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang's entire face had completely turned liver-colored,
his eyes were ferocious, and his breathing became extremely rapid.
"Martial Soul Ten Core Competitiveness" was not only the greatest effort and crystallization of his first half of his life, but also his only pride and achievement.
He was actually publicly criticized and insulted by his own disciple in the newspaper?
The key was that the other party's criticism was all correct. Not to mention Spirit Masters, even ordinary people could clearly distinguish who was more reasonable, and he couldn't find any loopholes in it at all.
For example, the spirit ring Ultimate had long been rubbed on the ground by Kaiyuan Sect and Nangong Lingyun.
Yu Xiaogang's eyes were spitting fire, and he was so angry that his hair stood on end. He gritted his steel teeth and roared in a low voice:
"Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable.
I did take away your Life Attribute, but putting aside the facts, aren't you a little bit wrong yourself?
You have known Mysterious Heaven Skill, Mysterious Jade Hand, Purple Demon Eye, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and Controlling Crane Catching Dragon since you were a child, and you also know that my biggest dream is to break through level 30, so as to prove that I am a Grandmaster,
You are my own disciple, I have given everything for you, why are you unwilling to teach even this little thing?
If there was a Cultivation Method to help, I would have definitely broken through Spirit Elder and proved my theory and Grandmaster status.
And those so many exquisite Hidden Weapons, if they had been taken out earlier, would the spirit hunting have been so dangerous?
This is all your fault, you are betraying your ancestors and blaming me in reverse.
Tang San, you despicable and shameless insidious villain, I will definitely not let you go, I will make you pay the price."
