Douluo: Star Crown Glory

Decades ago, when Qian Renxue began to implement the Tiandou Empire's undercover plan, the Spirit Hall began to lay out its plans in the Xingluo Empire.

The chess pieces they chose were the Zhao and Qian families, who already depended on the Spirit Hall for survival. They used the threat of force to plant special poisons in the bodies of the heads and heirs of these two families.

This poison is a secret of the Spirit Hall. If there is no antidote within a year, the poisoned person will feel pain all over the body as if being bitten by insects, and will die in despair and torture.

Since then, the Zhao and Qian families have completely become running dogs of the Spirit Hall and are unable to refuse any of their orders.

This result surprised Qian Daoliu very much. If the Spirit Hall had not been unable to find the patriarchs of the other families and he had been afraid of arousing the disgust of the other elders of the Spirit Hall, he would have wanted to poison the bodies of these people one by one.

Being a Titled Douluo but having their lives controlled by others, this feeling made the heads of the Zhao and Qian families hate the Spirit Hall deeply.

They looked for all the top doctors on the continent, but no one could identify the poison, let alone detoxify it.

Even Poison Douluo Dugu Bo and his men had looked for him, but it was of no use at all.

Originally, when the Chen family proposed to break away from the control of the Spirit Hall, their lives were pretty good and the Spirit Hall would not assign them tasks casually.

But all that changed after that meeting.

The Spirit Hall was afraid that they would escape from its control, so they first deliberately delayed the delivery of the antidote by a few days, letting them suffer from being bitten by thousands of insects for a few days, and then used powerful force to tell them that they had no chance of escaping from the Spirit Hall.

Since then, they have been caught between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand, they have to be suppressed by the Spirit Hall along with the other five families, and on the other hand, they have to pass on information to the Spirit Hall.

"Old Zhao, I've had enough of this miserable life. Please think of a solution, no matter what."

"Do you think I like living like this? We only have two options now. Either we find a way to completely break away from the control of the Spirit Hall, or we return to the Spirit Hall and become a local lord.

Do you think the poison in our bodies is easy to cure, or do you think our two families will not be completely eaten up by them after we return?"

Zhao Gou, the head of the Zhao family, slammed the table hard. The loud noise shocked Qian Fu, the head of the Qian family. The two looked at each other and sighed for a long time again.

Until a assassin came to report that there was more news from the String Pavilion, waiting for them to pick it up, the two men's faces became more miserable.

The String Music Pavilion is a place of entertainment run by the Qian family. It is also the place where they communicate with the Wuhun Empire. If there is news there, it is most likely that Qian Daoliu has received new orders.

Qian Fu had a bitter face. He went to get the secret letter himself and threw it on the table casually without paying any attention to the tea stains on it.

The two of them sat at the table, looking at the letters on the table, looking at each other, and no one wanted to open it.

In the end, Qian Fu was the first to compromise. His life was in the hands of the Wuhun Empire, and they could not afford to refuse.

Without these two titled family heads, the Zhao and Qian families would definitely not be able to maintain their current power. The huge wealth accumulated over thousands of years is simply not something that a few Soul Douluos can protect.

"Old Qian, open it. In a month or so, it will be time for us to take the antidote again."

"Ah~."

There was no other way, Zhao Gou picked up the letter helplessly and slowly tore open the seal on it. He just hoped that this time the order from the Wuhun Empire would not be too difficult to carry out.

But as he read, his expression became uglier and uglier, which made Qian Fudun, who was sitting next to him, feel uneasy. You know, in all the previous orders, Zhao Gou had never been like this.

"Old Zhao, what's going on? What's going on with Qian Daoliu again?" "You can see for yourself, we are in trouble this time."

Qian Fu took the letter, glanced at it quickly, and his hands trembled uncontrollably, causing the letter to fall to the ground with the wind.

He looked at Zhao Gou in horror, his eyes full of fear. He couldn't believe that the Wuhun Empire would actually give them this task. Wasn't this forcing them to die?

"Old Zhao, this, this, this, what should we do?"

"What else can we do? Qian Daoliu asked us to join the Xingguan Sect, so we have no choice but to join the Xingguan Sect."

"But he also wants us to pass on the internal information of the Xingguan Sect. How can we do this? There are many Titled Douluo in it, and we can't just pry into it casually."

"We can only take one step at a time."

The two sighed deeply. Douluo Continent is such a world where the strong prey on the weak. The strong eat everything, and the weak must either obey the orders of the strong or die.

When a commoner becomes a soul master, he is no longer a commoner. No one really speaks for the commoners. The same is true in the Wuhun Empire, it’s just for profit.

Zhao Gou and Qian Fu personally wrote the visiting cards and sent their heirs to respectfully hand them over to Xingguan Sect.

However, the Xingguan Sect is not interested in the two families' allegiance, as there are too many forces that want to get closer to them.

Many sects and families that had been connected for hundreds of years were displaced by the impact of the Tiandou forces, and none of these forces were accepted when they wanted to join them.

Out of respect for the two Titled Douluo, the Xingguan Sect did not directly refuse, but told them that they were not allowed to enter the Xingluo Mountain territory, but could choose a peak in the southwestern mountains to station.

The southwestern mountains are poor in resources, and only sects like the Xingguan Sect that do not rely heavily on resources can survive. They originally wanted to use this to persuade the Zhao and Qian families to retreat, but they didn't expect that they would actually move their clan land here.

When the news reached Xu Mingxi's ears, three months had passed. He looked at the information sent by the sect and felt very confused.

The seven families behind this fighting arena are really interesting. The seven families are actually divided into four teams. What exactly do the Zhao and Qian families mean?

"Mingjie, what do you think? They are stationed in the mountains near Xingluo Mountain. Do they want to harm our Xingguan Sect?"

"Brother, even if they want to attack us, we are strong enough to annihilate them quickly.

I'm just afraid that they are the vanguards sent by other forces. These seven families were once the lackeys of the Wuhun Empire. Who knows what they are thinking."

"That's true. Tell the Second Elder and the others to keep an eye on these two families. If necessary, you can take the initiative to eliminate them."

"Yes."

If it weren't for the Wuhun Empire and the Sea God Island watching covetously from the outside, the Xingluo Empire must be united, and the Xingguan Sect had no evidence, they would have already eradicated these two strange families.

Now Xu Mingxi could only ask the sect to be slightly more cautious, and when carrying out the hunting operation, leave enough forces to deal with the two families and the sudden attack from the Wuhun Empire.
