As he spoke, a flash of soul power appeared in Mu Ci's hand, and a strong man who was already unconscious and on the verge of death appeared in his hand.
It was Tang Xiao!
Chapter 245 Declaration
With a wave of Mu Ci's hand, the soul tool in his hand emitted a brilliant light, and Tang Xiao, whom he hadn't paid attention to when besieging Tang Chen in the sky, immediately appeared on the ground of the square in front of him.
"Plop——!!"
With a dull thud, Tang Xiao fell to the ground.
At this moment, Tang Xiao was in a terrible state, his body covered with wounds of all sizes, and a large part of it had been burned into a charred mess by the high temperature of Mu Ci's Demon-Slaying Golden Lightning.
If it weren't for Tang Xiao's powerful cultivation and the formidable body forged by his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, he wouldn't have been able to barely cling to life and fall into a near-death state.
If these injuries had been inflicted on Chrysanthemum or Ghost Douluo in the plaza, they would likely have perished long ago.
At this moment, the crowd in the square gasped in shock upon seeing Tang Xiao's miserable state, their faces filled with astonishment and their eyes with horror.
Although they knew that Mu Ci had defeated Tang Xiao, they did not expect that the Haotian Sect Master, who had been famous in the Soul Master world for a long time, would be in such a miserable state.
"This is too tragic!" A female student's face turned pale, and fear was evident in her eyes.
However, the male student next to him immediately retorted, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration for Mu Ci, "Tragic? You should say that Sect Master Mu Ci is incredibly powerful!"
On the other side, people also started talking about it.
"Speaking of which, should we now address Sect Master Mu Ci as Your Majesty? Although your soul power hasn't reached the level of a Title Douluo, your strength is definitely solid."
"Yes, yes, I think it's a good idea too. I wonder what title Your Majesty will ultimately choose? Abundant Douluo? Jianmu Douluo? Or Medicine King Douluo? I think they're all acceptable."
Upon hearing this, the person next to him immediately shook his head.
"I don't know, that depends on which one His Majesty Mu Ci chooses in the future."
At this moment, the crowd in the square was buzzing with discussion, pointing and whispering about Tang Xiao, who lay there like a dead dog, but no one showed any sympathy.
In the center of the square, the focus of everyone's discussion.
Looking at Qian Renxue beside her with a puzzled expression, Mu Ci immediately transmitted her voice softly: "The Haotian Sect has now emerged from seclusion, which can be considered as breaking the three-point agreement made between the Spirit Hall and them back then."
"Given what they're doing now, we can completely unite the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall to eradicate the Clear Sky Sect."
"Moreover, the timing is just right. You can announce this matter in front of all the outstanding Soul Masters across the continent. After you return to Heaven Dou City and ascend the throne, you can take immediate action!"
Upon hearing Mu Ci's words, Qian Renxue's eyes lit up, and she immediately expressed strong agreement with them.
"Aci! You're right!"
Emperor Xueye had already been killed by the Haotian Sect, and even Prince Xuexing died in this incident.
It can be said that at this moment, apart from some collateral branches whose bloodlines have long since disappeared, the main branch of the Heavenly Dou royal family only has Xue Ke left, and there are no other obstacles.
Once she returns to Tiandou, there will be no obstacles, and she can ascend the throne directly.
In fact, the Haotian Sect's actions went even more smoothly than Qian Renxue had originally envisioned.
It was like searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly.
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue immediately followed Mu Ci's idea, decisively turned around and looked at Bibi Dong, who had a somewhat confused expression on the high platform, her tone full of hatred.
"Your Holiness, I have a request, and I hope Your Majesty will grant it."
Reminded by Qian Renxue's words, Bibi Dong immediately came to her senses. She gently leaned on the papal scepter, her eyes tender, and said softly, "Please, Prince Qinghe, explain further."
Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, Qian Renxue immediately bowed and said loudly.
"The deeds of the Haotian Sect are too numerous to count, and even if the Qinghe River were to pour out all its waters, it would be impossible to wash away the hatred in my heart!"
"I implore Your Holiness to hand over the Fifth Elder of the Haotian Sect to me for disposal. Qinghe will use the blood of this man and the Haotian Sect Master Tang Xiao to avenge my tragically deceased father and uncle, and to avenge my hatred for the Tian Dou Sect!"
Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes. Having served as Pope for twenty years, she immediately realized that this was a good opportunity and said loudly, "What Prince Qinghe said is exactly what my Spirit Hall desires, and of course we will not refuse."
As she spoke, Bibi Dong waved her hand, signaling the cardinal escorting the Fifth Elder to bring the person to Qian Renxue.
At the same time, Bibi Dong used her soul power to address all the teams from the two great empires in the square.
"At the same time, I hereby declare that the Haotian Sect has violated the agreement made back then, left the mountain without permission, and even committed such an outrageous act that angers both heaven and man."
"From this day forward, the entire Spirit Hall will fight the Clear Sky Sect to the death!"
As Bibi Dong finished speaking, the teams from both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire on the plaza simultaneously realized something.
The world of Douluo Continent may be about to change!
This move by the Haotian Sect thoroughly angered two of the three largest forces on the continent.
With the combined forces of the Spirit Hall, which boasts numerous Title Douluos, and the Heaven Dou Empire, which commands a million soldiers, the Clear Sky Sect, one of the three upper sects and possessing the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one weapon spirit in the world, is likely to disappear completely from the history of the Soul Master world.
Therefore, no one present believed that the Haotian Sect could withstand the combined forces of the two major powers.
With Bibi Dong's consent, Qian Renxue immediately looked at the Fifth Elder who was being escorted over and coldly asked, "Do you have anything to say before you die?"
As Qian Renxue finished speaking, the two bishops who were escorting the Fifth Elder also lifted the soul power restraint on his mouth, allowing him to speak.
The Fifth Elder felt a faint sense of relief on his cheeks and looked at the crowd in front of him with hatred.
He had naturally heard what Qian Renxue had just said and understood that there might have been a major mistake on the Tiandou City side, which led to the complete failure of the plan.
"Pah! What high-sounding words you're spouting! You, Xue Qinghe, are just Qian Renxue, the young master of the Spirit Hall, in disguise. You're a dog of the Spirit Hall!"
"Let me tell you, Qian Renxue, the Spirit Hall's plan will be completely exposed. You cannot succeed! The Spirit Hall's ambitions will never be realized!"
At the same time, the Fifth Elder shouted at the top of his lungs toward the crowd watching not far away, and toward Davis, who was standing not far away.
"My Haotian Sect is right! You've all been deceived! If you don't help my Haotian Sect now, you'll regret it one day!"
"Davis, you'll regret this!"
Upon hearing these words, Qian Renxue's eyes sharpened, and a golden sword with swan patterns instantly appeared in her hand.
As a cold light flashed through the air, blood instantly flowed from the mouth of the Fifth Elder, who was shouting with hatred. A piece of his tongue was severed on the spot, and only painful whimpers could be heard from his throat.
"Still spreading rumors and misleading the public! Unforgivable!"
Chapter 246 Tang Xiao and the Fifth Elder are dead!
Mu Ci coldly looked at the Fifth Elder in front of him, who was shaking his head in pain and whimpering in his throat, and Tang Xiao, who was lying unconscious on the ground like a dead dog.
He immediately waved his hand, and strands of azure-gold vines grew and spread from the ground, binding the two of them in front of Qian Renxue and forcing them to kneel down facing the crowd in the square.
Seeing Mu Ci's thoughtful actions, Qian Renxue couldn't help but smile sweetly, but she quickly suppressed it with her strong emotional control.
Qian Renxue's face turned cold and stern in an instant. She looked coldly at the two people kneeling in front of her, raised her golden sword high, and shouted loudly to all the people watching the scene.
"From this day forward, in the name of Xue Qinghe, Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dou Clan, I hereby declare to the entire continent—"
"The Heavenly Dou Empire, from top to bottom, is locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Clear Sky Sect!"
As Qian Renxue finished speaking, the longsword in her hand, infused with soul power, shimmered with a platinum-gold light and slashed fiercely towards the necks of the two people in front of her.
"Shh-!"
As a sword aura flashed past, Tang Xiao and the Fifth Elder, who were bound and kneeling before Qian Renxue, had their heads immediately shot into the sky, and hot blood spurted from their necks, spraying a cloud of blood mist across the square.
“Plop, plop—”
Two muffled thuds echoed across the plaza. Tang Xiao and the Fifth Elder's heads rolled around on the ground like balls until they hit the scattered rubble and came to a stop.
Seeing this, everyone present couldn't help but swallow hard.
Even Davis is no exception.
He recalled the scene of the Fifth Elder looking at him and shouting before he died, and he remembered Tang San and the Fifth Elder both saying that the Heaven Dou Crown Prince Xue Qinghe was actually Qian Renxue from the Spirit Hall in disguise. His throat bobbed again.
Whether this is true or false, it will bring about tremendous changes on the mainland.
The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament has ended, and he must immediately set off to return to the Star Luo Empire.
And he informed the Star Luo Emperor of the whole matter in order to make thorough preparations.
However, at this moment, Davis looked at Xue Qinghe, who was standing not far away behind Tang Xiao's corpse, and his eyes kept flashing.
Emperor Xueye and Prince Xuexing are already dead. If Xue Qinghe in front of us also goes with them, then wouldn't Xue Ke be the only woman left in the Tiandou Empire's royal family?
So, isn't this a perfect opportunity?
On the high platform.
Bibi Dong looked at the two Title Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect, now corpses, on the plaza and sighed deeply.
Although the time since the end of the competition has been short, less than half an hour, one thing after another has happened in this short period of time, and each one is bigger than the last.
First, Liu Erlong stormed the mountain, and Yu Xiaogang pleaded for mercy; then Tang Hao carried out the execution, and Tang Chen appeared; then the two peerless Douluo confronted each other and fought in the sky; then Mu Ci's world-shaking soul ring, and Xue Di's intervention and the death of the Fourth Elder.
Immediately following this were the two demigods and Mu Ci besieging Tang Chen, and even later, it seemed that a deity intervened to save Tang Chen and Tang San, and finally, the news of the death of Emperor Xue Ye of Tian Dou City.
Under normal circumstances, any one of these events would be enough to shake the Spirit Hall.
But today, in that short period of time, they all came together.
"Let's leave it at that for today! This is such a headache!"
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong gently picked up the papal scepter and addressed the crowd in the square: "The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament has come to an end. The square is in a mess, and I will not keep you here any longer."
"Under the guidance of the Spirit Hall deacons, everyone can leave the plaza in an orderly manner. After resting, you can also set off home and bring the good news to your respective academies."
Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, a commotion immediately arose among the many teams in the square.
They couldn't wait to return to their family academy and tell their relatives and friends what they had seen that day.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, today should be the biggest event of their lives.
After the incident was over, Holy Emperor warriors quickly arrived and dragged away the bodies of the two Haotian Sect members for disposal.
Mu Ci also brought Qian Renxue back to the Tian Dou royal family's viewing group.
Just as the two were about to discuss what would happen next, Lin Gongfeng, who had delivered the letter earlier, hurriedly walked up to Qian Renxue and bowed respectfully.
"Your Highness, Sect Master Mu Ci."
Seeing that Lin Gongfeng's expression was a bit off, Qian Renxue immediately asked with some doubt, "What's wrong, Lin Gongfeng? Is there anything else?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
