Chapter 102 The Heavenly Dou Empire Changes Hands, Empress Qian Renxue!
"Yes, Sect Master!"
The elders echoed in unison, their hearts also burning with the flames of revenge.
The fact that the Haotian Sect has been in seclusion for many years does not mean they have lost their fighting spirit.
The murder of the sect's most outstanding disciple is a provocation and humiliation to the entire Haotian Sect!
The news quickly spread throughout the entire sect.
In a quiet courtyard on the back hill, a gentle and beautiful woman heard the news and her teacup crashed to the ground and shattered.
Tang Yuehua.
Her face turned deathly pale instantly, and her delicate body trembled slightly.
"Second brother, he..."
Tears streamed uncontrollably down my cheeks.
She quickly walked out of the courtyard and found Tang Xiao, who was gathering people.
"Big brother!"
When Tang Xiao saw his sister, he forcibly suppressed the violence in his heart and softened his voice.
"Yuehua, what brings you here?"
"Elder brother, please, you must avenge second brother!"
Tang Xiao nodded heavily, his voice firm and resolute.
"rest assured."
"I, Tang Xiao, swear I will not return to my clan until the murderer is reduced to ashes!"
Soon, a team led by Tang Xiao and composed of the most elite forces of the Haotian Sect left the mountain gate in a grand procession and sped towards Tiandou City.
...
Meanwhile, in the Imperial Study of the Heavenly Dou Palace.
Since ascending the throne, Qian Renxue has hardly had a moment of leisure.
The empire's backlog of official duties piled up before her like a mountain.
He appeased former officials, promoted trusted confidants, reorganized the military, and reformed the tax laws...
She had to personally review and make the decision on everything.
The ambitions that were once so strong were gradually worn down by the daily grind.
She hadn't had a proper conversation with her master for several days.
Every day I'm either dealing with government affairs or on my way to deal with government affairs.
By the time she dragged her weary body back to her palace, it was often late at night.
That day, she finally finished dealing with the most urgent matters at hand and got a moment to catch her breath.
She dismissed her maids and guards and went alone to the palace where Qian Daobai lived.
Inside the hall, Qian Daobai stood by the window, quietly wiping the Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand.
He didn't turn around when he heard footsteps.
"They're here."
"Master."
Qian Renxue walked up behind him and bowed respectfully.
In front of Qian Daobai, she was not the majestic empress, but merely a disciple.
Only here could she shed all her pretense and weariness and find a moment of peace.
Qian Daobai turned around, sheathed his sword, and his gaze fell on her.
"Judging from your complexion, you've been very tired these past few days."
Qian Renxue nodded, without hiding anything.
"The affairs of the empire are numerous and complex, and indeed somewhat... troublesome."
Qian Daobai said calmly, "Everything is difficult at the beginning."
He changed the subject and asked, "Has your swordsmanship deteriorated?"
Upon hearing this, a blush of embarrassment appeared on Qian Renxue's beautiful face.
She lowered her head, and her voice became much softer.
"Disciple…Disciple has been busy with affairs lately, and has only practiced the basic skills a little each morning."
"not enough."
Qian Daobai's voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.
"Power is the foundation of everything."
"You got to that position not because of your political abilities, but because of my sword."
"If you want to sit still, you must have the power to shut everyone up."
"Your swordsmanship cannot be relaxed in the slightest."
Qian Renxue lowered her head even further, her cheeks burning.
"Master is right, disciple knows he was wrong."
"Disciple...disciple will definitely make time to practice diligently in the future."
Seeing her like this, Qian Daobai stopped criticizing her.
He walked over, sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea.
"There's one more thing."
"The Heaven Dou Empire is now under our control. The Star Luo Empire is no longer a threat."
"Pass down the order: using the Spirit Hall as the foundation, integrate the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire and establish the 'Spirit Empire'."
"The name of Tiandou is hereby abolished from this day forward."
Qian Renxue raised her head, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.
Martial Soul Empire!
This is a feat that even my grandfather and mother could not accomplish!
Now, in the master's hands, it is about to be realized so easily.
"Yes, Master!"
Her voice carried a hint of barely suppressed excitement.
"Disciple, go and do it immediately!"
Qian Renxue accepted the order and left with swift and decisive action.
Soon, an imperial edict was issued from the palace, proclaiming it to the world.
The Heaven Dou Empire was officially renamed the Martial Soul Empire.
This news once again shocked the entire continent.
Originally, the various kingdoms and duchies within the Heaven Dou Empire, as well as the soul master sects that were dependent on the royal family, dared not raise any objections after witnessing the Spirit Hall's ruthless methods.
Countless Soul Masters were forcibly or voluntarily recruited and incorporated.
The newly formed Spirit Empire is several times stronger than the combined strength of the former Spirit Hall and Heaven Dou Empire.
It was only three days after the empire was renamed.
Tang Xiao and his group finally arrived outside the city of Tiandou City.
However, when they saw that what was hanging high above the city gate was no longer the banner of the Heavenly Dou royal family, but a golden banner embroidered with a six-winged angel totem, everyone was stunned.
The soldiers patrolling the city wall had also changed into heavy black armor, with the emblem of the Spirit Hall engraved on their armor as well.
"What...what's going on?"
A disciple of the Haotian Sect looked utterly astonished.
"How did the Heaven Dou Empire become the territory of the Spirit Hall?"
Tang Xiao's expression also became extremely solemn.
After making a few inquiries upon entering the city, they received news that shocked them to their core.
A few days ago, a palace coup occurred in the Tiandou Imperial Palace, and the royal bloodline disappeared overnight.
Qian Renxue, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, ascended the throne and changed the country's name to the Spirit Empire.
"A woman... can actually rule such a vast empire?"
"What a grand gesture! What formidable strength!"
Tang Xiao took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart.
The situation in Tian Dou was far more complex than he had imagined.
He looked at the still bustling streets, yet one that exuded a chilling atmosphere, and said in a deep voice.
"Let's find a place to stay first."
"Send men out to carefully investigate the whereabouts of that Qian Daobai."
"Remember, don't alert the enemy."
A few days later, in Tiandou City, at an inconspicuous teahouse.
Qian Daobai sat alone by the window on the second floor, leisurely sipping his tea.
He went out today for some private matters.
After several rounds of tea, he put down his teacup, got up and went downstairs. He walked out of the teahouse at a leisurely pace and headed out of the city.
Not far behind him, several seemingly unrelated passersby exchanged glances discreetly and quietly followed him.
One of them quickly broke away from the crowd and slipped into a small alley. A moment later, a carrier pigeon took flight.
