The aftershocks of the destruction of the Clear Sky Sect had not yet faded—one could even say the news had not fully spread—yet Nangu Lingyun's decision once again stirred up towering waves across the land.
Almost every force that received the notice was struck dumb with terror, their faces drained of color, followed by a deep sense of helplessness and despair.
Even a figure on Tang Chen's level had been utterly unable to block the Kaikuan Sect in the slightest, reduced to nothing more than a mantis standing before the rolling wheels of history—crushed into powder.
Let alone the rest of them, mere mortals who couldn't even begin to compare to the first-generation Clear Sky Douluo.
Before everyone lay only two paths: submit, or die.
The Heaven Dou Empire was the first to receive the news.
As ministers, generals, and imperial enshrined experts were urgently summoned one after another,the once resplendent and magnificent hall seemed to lose all its former glory and authority in an instant, the atmosphere unbearably oppressive.
Emperor Xue Ye struggled to maintain his imperial composure. No joy or anger could be seen on his face, yet his fingers trembled uncontrollably.
Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, he asked as calmly as he could,"Esteemed ministers, if you have any thoughts, speak freely."
However, once the words fell, no response came for a long time.
The civil and military officials looked at one another, their expressions shifting between fear and panic, yet not a single person dared to speak.
Even Prince Xue Xing stood there dazed, his expression wooden, unmoving for a long while.
A god's inheritor, power beyond the limits—this was not something that could be stopped by reluctance or clever tricks.
Everyone understood that things had reached this point. Reality could only be accepted.
But such a monumental decision could only be made by the emperor himself. No one else had the right to interfere.
Seeing this scene, the dignity Xue Ye had barely managed to hold together collapsed completely.He slumped onto the throne, his expression ugly, eyes vacant.
After a long time, he weakly issued an order:"Seal the treasury. Inventory household registers, land, and tax records.The army is to surrender all command seals. Begin preparations for the surrender ceremony."
Below, countless voices responded in unison. Many faces visibly relaxed.
They were genuinely afraid Xue Ye might stubbornly dig in his heels. If that happened, things would get… very ugly.
The Star Luo Empire played out an almost identical scene at the same time.
The only difference was that Dai Tianli found a shred of comfort in his misery.Zhu Zhuqing was at Kaikuan Academy—and had even joined the Kaikuan Sect. She was Nangu Lingyun's concubine.
With her being favored, surely the Star Luo royal family wouldn't be exterminated to the last person… right?
While he was still emperor,
Dai Tianli issued his final imperial decree, bestowing upon Zhu Zhuqing the title of Imperial Princess, second only to the emperor himself in status.
Spirit Hall City
Ever since fleeing the Blue Tyrant Academy and coming here, Prison Xiao Gang had kept an extremely low profile, staying in his room unless absolutely necessary.
After Nangu Lingyun burst his bubble and shattered the "theory master" persona he had built over the years,he feared that Bibi Dong's opinion of him might change.
He didn't even dare go pay respects to the Pope. Instead, he lived in a rundown inn on the city's outskirts, barely scraping by on the monthly soul master subsidy.
That morning, after getting up,
without even washing his face, Gangzi immediately opened the door and pushed the small cart that the inn prepared in advance into his room.
On the cart, as usual, were several rolls of the latest newspapers, a simple breakfast, and the clothes he had sent out for cleaning the day before.
He eagerly pulled out the Kaikuan Daily and began reading.
Shutting himself indoors, ashamed to face others—this was almost his only way to learn about the outside world, and his only daily entertainment.
The moment he saw the headline, his heart skipped violently.He instantly realized today's front page would be explosive—
because it mentioned his disciple Tang San and the Clear Sky Sect.
As he read downward, finishing just the first sentence, his eyes suddenly widened.His entire body began trembling uncontrollably.
The newspaper slipped from his hands and fell to the floor as he muttered in disbelief,"The Clear Sky Sect… was destroyed?"
Two seconds later, snapping back to his senses, Gangzi hurriedly picked it up and continued reading.
Tang San used a large portion of the article to describe his tragic experiences in detail:how he had been abused by Tang Hao as a child—no food, no clothes, forced to take care of a drunken wreck—bearing all household chores at a young age, sleeping later than dogs and waking earlier than chickens.
After entering school, he wrote about how he had been deceived and misled by Prison Xiao Gang—those half-baked, bizarre martial soul theories, the hypocrisy, the utterly brain-dead and explosive statements.
Claiming himself to be the strongest master acknowledged by the entire soul master world,or that all other soul masters were trash, that only his theories were supreme,that only top-tier geniuses were worthy of being taught by him, and so on.
The result?
A life-attribute plant-type martial soul was tricked into absorbing highly toxic animal soul rings,forced onto some so-called "control path," completely ruining a top-tier martial soul.
The soul-hunting process was fraught with danger.The teacher was clearly useless yet absurdly confident, causing them to nearly lose their lives in the forest multiple times.
In this section, Tang San also systematically overturned every single conclusion of the so-called Ten Core Competitiveness Principles of Martial Souls,and attached the genuinely correct versions one by one.
Only one line received his approval:"There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters."
He felt that some people truly were useless.
By the time he reached this point, Prison Xiao Gang's entire face had turned the color of pig liver.
His eyes twisted with ferocity, his breathing becoming extremely rapid.
The Ten Core Competitiveness Principles of Martial Soulswere not only the greatest labor and crystallization of his first half of life,but also his one and only lifelong pride and achievement.
And now they were being publicly criticized and humiliated in a newspaper—by his own disciple?
Worse still, every single criticism was correct.
Forget soul masters—even ordinary people could clearly tell who made more sense.He couldn't find a single loophole to exploit.
Take soul ring limits, for example—those had long been pressed into the dirt and rubbed raw by the Kaikuan Sect and Nangu Lingyun.
Prison Xiao Gang's eyes burned with rage. He was so furious that even his hair stood on end.Gritting his teeth, he roared in a low voice:
"Unforgivable. Absolutely unforgivable.
"Yes, I ruined your life attribute—but putting facts aside, don't you have any fault at all?You mastered Xuantian Skill, Xuanyu Hand, Purple Demon Eye, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon from childhood.
You also knew perfectly well that my greatest dream was to break through level thirty and prove that I am a master.
You were my own disciple! I gave everything for you!Why wouldn't you even teach me these things?
If I had cultivation techniques to assist me, I would have long broken through to Soul Elder and proven my theories and my identity as a master!
And those exquisite hidden weapons—if you had taken them out earlier, would soul hunting have been so dangerous?
All of this is your fault!You are deceiving heaven and betraying your ancestors, twisting right and wrong!
Tang San, you despicable, shameless, insidious villain—I will never let this go. I will make you pay the price!"
