Douluo Continent: Starting from Awakening the Vermilion Bird Martial Soul

The harvest this time was quite substantial.

On the way back.

A royal soul master suddenly found them and handed a letter to Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi opened the letter, glanced at it briefly, and then his expression changed.

"What's wrong?" Di Hong asked.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head, said nothing, and simply handed the letter to Di Hong.

Upon receiving the letter, Di Hong was immediately startled.

"Emperor Xuetang has passed away."

Ning Fengzhi nodded: "Now that Emperor Xuetang has passed away, His Highness the Crown Prince has instructed us to return to Tiandou City as soon as possible after we have finished hunting the soul beasts."

After returning the letter to Ning Fengzhi, Di Hong said, "Then we must travel at full speed."

"Mm." Ning Fengzhi nodded.

When they set off, Xue Tang was already on his deathbed, but they didn't expect him to pass away so quickly. Fortunately, Xue Ye's power base was solid, and most of the ministers were his people. Xue Yu's rebellion had also been completely quelled, with only a few people still wanted.

All the local generals and city lords who had followed the rebellion were executed, and the person who went to quell the rebellion was Xueye's younger brother, Xuexing.

Xue Xing's army marched swiftly and subdued them before they even received news of Xue Yu's defeat. Throughout the entire process, they didn't even have time to resist, or rather, they were captured before they could even put up a fight.

After Xue Tang passed away, Di Hong and the others returned to Tian Dou City as quickly as possible.

After returning to Tiandou City, Di Qing went back to the Kingdom of Silves, and Tang Lie also returned to the Haotian Sect.

The city of Tiandou was draped in white mourning clothes and was once again under martial law.

Although everyone was prepared for the emperor's death, no one expected him to pass away so quickly. The royal family is now preparing for the funeral. The emperor's death is a major event, and all the vassal kingdoms and duchies have sent envoys to offer their condolences.

Even the Star Luo Empire sent envoys, and the Spirit Hall was no exception.

The Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City represented the Spirit Hall in paying tribute to Emperor Xue Tang.

A somber atmosphere permeated the entire Tiandou City.

The emperor's funeral was exceptionally grand.

Following the funeral was the coronation ceremony on a snowy night. After serving as crown prince for more than twenty years, he finally became the true master of the Heaven Dou Empire.

After the coronation ceremony, Xue Ye officially became the emperor of the empire, and his younger brother Xue Xing was also granted the title of prince. Di Hong's title was also promoted to marquis, and other Xue Ye confidants were also promoted or rewarded as appropriate.

Next, he planned to carry out a major reshuffle throughout the empire.

He was an ambitious man who hoped that the declining Tiandou Empire would be revitalized in his hands. Seizing this opportunity, Di Hong sent a message back to the country, urging Di Yang and the others to prepare early and see if there was an opportunity to secretly plant their people.

A month after the coronation ceremony on a snowy night, the two brothers, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, who had gone to Poseidon Island, finally returned.

They first returned to the Haotian Sect to report the situation to their father, and then came to Tiandou City.

On the way to the Marquis of Dihong's mansion, Tang Hao said helplessly, "We've only been gone for a short time, and Tiandou City has already changed so much."

He really didn't expect that such a big change would happen in just a few months.

Chapter 85. Intended

Chapter 85 Plan

Upon learning that Tang Hao and the others had returned, Di Hong, who was cultivating, came to the living room.

Inside the living room, Tang Yuehua was entertaining her two elder brothers. Since Xue Yu's rebellion, these spies planted in Di Hong's camp had been eliminated. However, Di Hong did not kill them but sent them to the Kingdom of Silves.

With readily available spies, why not use them? These people had previously served Xue Yu, but now that Xue Yu had been defeated, they naturally had nowhere to go. Emperor Hong seized this opportunity to recruit Xue Yu's original intelligence organization and handed it over to Emperor Ming.

As for those Soul Masters who escaped, some of them have already reached the Kingdom of Silves.

Among them was Yin Xuan, who was wanted by the authorities. After Yin Xuan escaped, he originally planned to join the Spirit Hall, but he was intercepted by Di Ming halfway there. He had no choice but to join the Kingdom of Silves.

He has great talent and a unique martial soul, making him very suitable for intelligence work. Such a talent should not be wasted.

As for the fact that he's a wanted criminal by the empire, who cares?

In any case, the Kingdom of Sylves is going to rebel anyway.

Tang Hao sat there drinking tea and eating pastries, and couldn't help but tease Tang Yuehua as he looked at her serious expression.

"Oh my, Yuehua, you're becoming more and more like the lady of the house. And this hasn't been settled yet."

Tang Yuehua rolled her eyes at him, her expression natural.

"Sooner or later."

She wasn't worried about this at all. After all, she was living in the Marquis's mansion, and everyone in the entire Tiandou City knew about it.

"Hmph, even now, Di Hong is still putting on airs." Tang Hao was somewhat dissatisfied. Now that he and Tang Yuehua were in such a state, Di Hong had not taken any action. So far, no one from the Haotian Sect had come to discuss marriage with Di Hong.

This made him very dissatisfied.

Tang Xiao nodded in agreement. He also felt that Di Hong shouldn't have done that. They couldn't very well let the people from Haotian Sect come to their door for something like this.

They are the woman, after all.

"It's not that I'm putting on airs, it's just that I've been too busy lately," Di Hong's voice came from outside, and then he walked into the living room.

Looking him over, Tang Hao felt that something about him was different.

The aura emanating from him had become more sacred, his entire demeanor was different from before, and he was even more handsome.

"You're already level 76 now. A six-level increase in just a few months. A 100,000-year soul ring really makes a difference."

He and Tang Xiao had just returned when they heard that Di Hong had obtained a 100,000-year soul ring. To be honest, they were extremely shocked when they heard the news.

The seventh spirit ring is a 100,000-year spirit ring, which is unique in the entire Douluo Continent.

"How did you manage to successfully absorb your seventh spirit ring?" Tang Xiao asked curiously.

Di Hong said, "It was just luck."

Tang Hao pursed his lips.

"I'd rather be lucky. I'd like to try my luck and get a 100,000-year soul ring, but there aren't that many lucky breaks in this world."

Di Hong smiled and said, "It was indeed due to luck. The fire element was very abundant in that place. I was able to suppress the violent energy of the 100,000-year soul ring and successfully absorb it by relying on the power of the fire element."

"Then your eighth and ninth spirit rings will also require hunting 100,000-year-old spirit beasts?" Tang Xiao asked.

Di Hong hummed in agreement, not denying it. The seventh spirit ring was a 100,000-year spirit ring, so there was no reason for the eighth and ninth spirit rings to be less than 100,000 years.

"That's great." Tang Hao said with envy.

"If I could get a 100,000-year soul ring, I would be burning incense in gratitude."

A 100,000-year-old soul beast is extremely rare, as hunting one is no easy task.

"Maybe you'll have a 100,000-year spirit ring in the future." Di Hong's words were loaded with meaning. In the future, Tang Hao encountered Ah Yin, a 100,000-year-old transformed spirit beast. Later, when he was being hunted down by the Spirit Hall and forced into a desperate situation, Ah Yin sacrificed herself for him, allowing him to break through to the Title Douluo level and obtain a 100,000-year spirit ring.

"Then I'll take your good wishes. If I obtain a 100,000-year soul ring, you'll have to help me hunt him down." Tang Hao didn't understand the meaning behind Di Hong's words, after all, how could he possibly know what the future held?

He wasn't a time traveler like Di Hong.

"No problem." Di Hong readily agreed. Anyway, Tang Hao didn't need him to hunt for the ninth spirit ring. The Tang family was just different.

Both father and son had sacrificed 100,000-year-old soul beasts, and both encountered the same situation.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Tell me about Poseidon Island," Di Hong said.

Tang Hao gets excited whenever Poseidon Island is mentioned.

"Let me tell you, that Seagod Island is really something else. It's full of Sea Soul Masters, and there are several Title Douluo-level powerhouses. The strongest of them is their Grand Elder, Seagod Douluo Poseidon."

Afterwards, Tang Hao told Di Hong and Tang Yuehua everything that had happened on Seagod Island.

After arriving at Poseidon Island, they got into a conflict with the island's inhabitants because of their youthful vigor and high spirits. At first, things were fine, as the sea spirit masters were no match for them. However, they ran into a tough opponent.

A powerful figure at the Title Douluo level from Seagod Island subdued them and captured them alive with just six soul skills. They were originally supposed to be imprisoned on Seagod Island for life, but fortunately, they were there to deliver a message and did not kill anyone.

Otherwise, they wouldn't just be imprisoned; they'd probably be dead.

They quickly alerted Poseidon, who, upon learning that the two possessed the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, personally met with them.

When they learned that they had come to deliver a letter for Tang Chen, they did not make things difficult for them. After briefly inquiring about Tang Chen's situation, they let them leave.

After Tang Hao finished speaking, he was still somewhat shaken, and even Tang Xiao felt a bit of fear towards them.

"Honestly, it's a good thing you didn't go. That Sea God Douluo's strength is indeed extraordinary, and she can also mobilize the power of the sea. No wonder Grandfather and Qian Daoliu were defeated by her."

After listening, Di Hong just smiled and didn't care too much. He didn't care about Poseidon either, since she wouldn't leave Poseidon Island, so he didn't need to worry about her. He was also considering whether or not to go to Poseidon Island.

Cultivating at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire would greatly enhance his strength.

As for the issue of the lifespan of the spirit rings, he has other plans.

Since the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was formed by the fall of the two great dragon kings, then, putting aside everything else, their remaining power might also be able to be applied to the soul rings. In any case, the two great dragon kings were gods, and even if they fell, the power they left behind was enough.

However, all of this was just his speculation.

After he breaks through to the Title Douluo level, he will check again. If it is really possible, then there is no need to go to Seagod Island.

If it really works, perhaps he can also use the power of the two Dragon Kings and the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire to try and reach level 100.
