Douluo Continent: Starting from Awakening the Vermilion Bird Martial Soul

A full-scale attack on Heaven Dou City is definitely unrealistic, unless they don't care about their families inside Heaven Dou City anymore.

"Another point is that if Tian Dou City is occupied, Xue Yu may spread false information everywhere, and may even issue false orders to other local armies, asking them to come to Tian Dou City to 'serve the king'."

This was Xueye's biggest worry: now that the emperor was in a coma, he had no authority to mobilize local troops.

"We absolutely cannot let Xue Yu know that His Majesty is in a coma, otherwise he might very well summon troops from all over the country to Tian Dou City under the pretext of supporting the emperor." Di Hong never expected that he would become a rebel before he had even started a rebellion.

Chapter 70 The Clan of Power

Chapter 70 The Force Clan

Inside the Earl's Mansion in Tiandou City.

Tang Yuehua sat in the hall, her delicate and beautiful face showing no sign of panic.

Outside the Earl's mansion, the rebels are fighting the remaining defenders of Tiandou City. It is estimated that the battle will be over soon. Apart from the imperial palace, most of Tiandou City has been occupied, and many noble mansions have been besieged by the rebels.

Several city gates were also occupied.

It's estimated that the rebels will arrive at the Earl's mansion where she lives soon.

Meng Yuan strode in.

"Miss Yuehua, you should leave the Earl's mansion as soon as possible. It's not safe here."

In the past, Di Hong did not stay at the Earl's mansion for long. This time, he only stayed for a month, so there were no guards at the Earl's mansion. Di Hong did not think about arranging guards either. After all, his strength was there, and no one would be so foolish as to cause trouble for him.

But things are different now. The rebels have almost taken over Tiandou City, and Di Hong is not in the city.

The Earl's mansion only has Tang Yuehua and Meng Yuan, and they are not capable of fighting. Even if they all die, they cannot protect Tang Yuehua. Moreover, there are spies planted by Xue Yu in the Earl's mansion. As long as the rebels come, they will definitely open the gate.

Just as Tang Yuehua was pondering how to respond, a maid entered the living room.

“Miss Yuehua, a few people have come outside claiming to be from the Power Clan. They say they are looking for you, Miss Yuehua.”

"The Power Clan." Tang Yuehua's eyes lit up.

"Oh right, how could I forget about the four clans?"

She almost forgot that the Power Clan, one of the four single-attribute clans affiliated with the Haotian Sect, was located in Tiandou City. It was also the only one of the four clans located in Tiandou City, while the other three were located outside Tiandou City, not far from the Haotian Sect.

Since the Power Clan's livelihood is based in Tiandou City, it is appropriate to place the clan within the city.

With the powerful clan present, there's nothing to worry about.

Titan, the patriarch of the Power Clan, also broke through not long ago, becoming a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse and the first Soul Douluo-level Soul Master among the four odd-numbered clans.

As they stepped out of the hall, a maid led several muscular men over. The leader of the group was a young man with short hair, broad shoulders, and a muscular build, who looked rather fierce.

As soon as Tang Yuehua came out, he immediately clasped his hands in a salute.

"Taino of the Power Clan greets Miss Yuehua."

The others also bowed.

Yuehua returned the greeting slightly, then asked, "Brother Tainuo, what brings you here?"

"Did Uncle Titan send you?"

Taino nodded, his voice deep and resonant.

“That’s right. There’s a rebellion in the city. My father was afraid that your place would be affected, so he sent me with twenty disciples to protect Miss Yuehua on her way to the Power Clan.”

Please come with me.

Tang Yuehua did not refuse and followed Tai Nuo out of the Earl's mansion. As soon as they stepped out of the mansion, they saw that the streets were in chaos, with rebellious soldiers everywhere and corpses scattered around.

The bodies included both civilians and soldiers.

With Tainuo and the others protecting them, Tang Yuehua and her group arrived at the Li Clan's headquarters without incident. Their location remained unaffected.

Xue Yu would not attack these sects or academies. Attacking these places would be a loss for him. Most of these sects and forces remain neutral. Of course, there are some smaller forces that joined the rebels after they entered Tian Dou City.

In their view, with Tiandou City captured, Xue Yu's success was practically a foregone conclusion.

Following him might even allow you to gain merit by following the leader, thus elevating the sect's strength to a higher level. However, these people are not very strong; the stronger ones are only at the Soul King or Soul Emperor level, and can only be icing on the cake.

Inside Xueyu's mansion.

He was listening to his subordinates' report.

He frowned when he learned that the palace had not yet been captured.

"What's going on? Why hasn't the palace been taken over yet?"

One of his men shook his head: "The palace guards have been fighting desperately, and some of the Heaven Dou City's garrison and Soul Masters have also retreated into the palace to strengthen its defenses."

"Useless!" Xue Yu was furious. The palace guards numbered only 10,000, and the strongest Soul Master was only a Soul Saint. Most of the Soul Masters in the Royal Soul Master Corps had already been transferred away by Xue Tang, and the remaining ones were not worth worrying about.

Moreover, some have already surrendered to him.

The palace's defenses were very strong, making it difficult to cause widespread damage. He also didn't want to destroy the palace, since he would need to live there in the future.

Since it can't be destroyed, let's just wear it down slowly. Anyway, Tiandou City is basically under his control.

"How are things in other places?"

Another subordinate reported: "We have basically taken over Tiandou City. There is still sporadic resistance in a few places. Our initial estimate is that there are still two or three thousand people. There are not many Soul Masters. We can completely eliminate them in at most an hour."

"Hmm." Xue Yu nodded in satisfaction. The sky outside was gradually darkening. Tian Dou City was basically under his control. Now it was time to consider other matters.

The families of the Royal Knights and the Imperial Guards were all under his control. Xue Ye dared not attack Tian Dou City, and his army and Soul Masters were useless.

But the only problem now is that the emperor is outside. Without control over the emperor, even if he manages to secure Tiandou City, it will be of no use.

Has any news come back from Yin Xuan?

When the rebellion began, he sent Yin Xuan to keep an eye on the royal hunting grounds, but a whole day has passed and no news has come back.

"Not yet." The subordinate shook his head.

"Keep a close eye on the Royal Hunting Grounds. Also, is there any movement from the Royal Academy?"

As the place where the empire trains soul masters, Xue Yu was naturally worried that the Royal Academy would make a move. Although the Royal Academy was not in Tian Dou City, the threat was still considerable.

"No, because of the Hunting Tournament, the Royal Academy is on holiday today. Some of the students are in Tiandou City, some are at the hunting grounds, and some of the teachers are also in Tiandou City, some are at the hunting grounds, and some have stayed at the academy."

Xue Yu chuckled. He had the upper hand now. All he needed was news from the hunting grounds and the return of the 30,000 Imperial Guards.

For him, the most important thing right now is to know the emperor's condition. Xue Tang's health is very poor and he can't take the blow. The emperor is currently at the hunting grounds, so he can't get firsthand information. Whether Xue Tang is dead or alive, or if nothing has happened to him, he needs to know so that he can take action.

The battle within Tiandou City continues, with civilians cowering in their homes, trembling with fear that the rebels will break into their homes and plunder them.

Within the Power Clan.

After Tang Yuehua arrived, Titan, the patriarch of the Power Clan, came out to greet her. As an affiliated clan of the Clear Sky Sect, the Power Clan was extremely loyal to the Clear Sky Sect. Titan was not young either; he was only slightly younger than Tang Wei, the current patriarch of the Clear Sky Sect.

In the hall.

Titan sat in the main seat, his figure much larger and more robust than his son Taino, which was related to his martial soul, the Mighty Ape, and the fact that they were both pure strength-type soul masters.

His eyes were deep and his expression was authoritative without being angry. Even Tang Yuehua respected him very much.

Chapter 71 Infiltration (Part 71)

Chapter 71 Infiltration (Part 1)

Within the Power Clan, Tang Yuehua would be perfectly safe. While the outside world was in chaos, the Power Clan remained as quiet as ever, with the clan members doing nothing but remaining on guard.

Titan didn't care about the rebels outside. To him, it was a struggle within the royal family, and even if the royal family fought tooth and nail, he had no obligation to get involved.

With him around, the rebels will never be able to break into the territory of the Power Clan.

Although the rebels included two Soul Douluos from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and several Soul Saints, he was not afraid at all. Despite being only level 81, Soul Douluo-level Soul Masters were no match for him in terms of strength, and he was not afraid if a fight broke out.

Even against ordinary Title Douluo, he wouldn't be afraid to compete in terms of strength.

Titan glanced at Tang Yuehua, his eyes filled with kindness and affection. He had watched Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, and Tang Yuehua grow up, and he treated them like his own children.

He has never even tried Tylenol.

He was very strict with his own son, but unfortunately, Tyno's talent was only average, and it would be difficult for him to surpass his son's achievements in the future.

"Don't worry, Miss. With my clan of strength here, no one can harm you. Just stay here and wait for the rebellion outside to end."

Tang Yuehua smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, Uncle Titan. I am not worried about my safety, and I have more faith in the Clan of Power."

Xue Yu's rebellion wasn't targeting her; they wanted the throne. She was just worried about Di Hong. Di Hong was currently outside the city and in a very passive position. Tian Dou City had been occupied, and the families of the Imperial Guards and Knights were all inside the city.

These people have become hostages.

Therefore, they could not rashly attack Tiandou City, which gave Xue Yu time to set up defenses. Moreover, many ministers and nobles' families were in the city, and they were probably taken hostage.

Titan was no young man and had experienced a lot, so he understood Tang Yuehua's thoughts perfectly.

"Is Miss worried about that Di Hong?"

"Yes." Tang Yuehua did not deny it.
