"That's our base camp. If we lose it, it will not only be a huge loss of resources and territory, but also a devastating blow to the morale of our entire army!"
Xue Qinghe no longer cared about being shy as a young woman; her pretty face instantly regained the dignity and composure befitting a "crown prince."
"The Haotian Sect is known as the number one sect in the world, with profound foundations and numerous powerful figures."
"They have been living in seclusion for many years, but now they have come out in full force. The Northern Territory... is in grave danger!"
The barrage of bad news would be enough to overwhelm any emperor.
However, Tang Qing's face showed no sign of panic.
He even laughed.
The smile was faint, yet it carried a chilling undercurrent.
"What a fine Haotian Sect."
"They really know how to pick their timing."
He certainly understood the other party's intentions.
The North was his foundation, the kingdom he built from scratch.
He is currently in the capital of the Star Luo Empire, having just annexed this vast territory, and is therefore unable to spare any attention.
The Haotian Sect chose this moment to strike at his base, their intentions were truly malicious.
Seeing his composure, Dugu Bo grew increasingly anxious.
"Your Majesty! The Haotian Sect is no small force; it boasts countless Title Douluos! Now that you are not stationed in the Northern Territory, the soldiers left behind will likely be insufficient..."
"They are probably invincible and unmatched!"
Tang Qing fell silent.
Dugu Bo's words pointed out his biggest drawback at present.
He himself possesses unparalleled combat prowess, and his ghostly army is fearless and can be resurrected by him indefinitely.
But there is a premise to this.
That means he has to be there.
He is ultimately just one person; he cannot be in two places at the same time.
Seeing the anxious looks on everyone's faces, Tang Qing slowly stood up.
"What's the panic?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a calming power.
"The sky won't fall down."
"Remember, no matter what happens, don't panic. Panic won't solve anything."
He strolled to the lakeside and looked at the sky reflected on the calm surface of the lake.
"Even if the Haotian Sect has tens of thousands of soul masters, it is absolutely impossible for them to break through the Northern Border in a short period of time."
"The hundreds of thousands of troops I left there are not to be trifled with."
"not to mention..."
The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"I also left them a big gift."
Seeing Tang Qing's calm and collected demeanor, as if everything was under his control, Xue Qinghe's eyes involuntarily gleamed with an unusual light.
This man seems to always be like this.
No matter how turbulent the waves, he will always be the most unbreakable anchor in the sea.
Tang Qing turned around and glanced at everyone.
"We need not concern ourselves with the affairs of the North for now."
"The most urgent task is to deal with these three ignorant flies in front of us."
A glint of light flashed in his eyes.
"Tang Chen, Tang Hao, Tang San..."
Now, having passed the sixth test of the God of Life, his strength is vastly different from what it once was.
Even when facing Tang Chen, who was at the peak of level 99, he no longer felt any fear.
Just then, a roar filled with boundless rage, like rolling thunder, came from outside the palace and resounded throughout the entire Star Luo City!
"Blue Silver King! Come out and face your death!"
It's Tang Hao's voice!
Upon hearing this, Tang Qing's lips curled into a cold smile.
He strode forward and walked straight out of the palace.
Xue Qinghe, Dugu Bo, and others quickly followed behind.
The moment they stepped out of the palace gates, a strong stench of blood assaulted their senses.
The vast palace square was now awash in blood.
Hundreds of loyal black-armored guards lay dead in pools of blood, their bodies mutilated, clearly having endured a brutal massacre.
In the center of that mountain of corpses and sea of blood, three figures stood proudly.
It was Tang Hao, radiating murderous intent; Tang Chen, expressionless; and Tang San, his eyes filled with resentment.
Tang Qing's eyes instantly darkened.
He didn't even glance at the three men; he simply raised his right hand and waved it lightly over the corpses scattered on the ground.
The next moment, a miracle happened!
Countless emerald green blue silver grasses appeared out of thin air, like a green ocean, instantly covering the entire square.
The purest and most exquisite life force falls like a gentle spring breeze and nourishing rain.
The wounds of the dead and mutilated soldiers healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, broken limbs regenerated, and stopped heartbeats began to beat again!
It only took a few breaths.
All the fallen soldiers stood up perfectly fine, as if their deaths had been nothing but an illusion.
They looked at their own bodies blankly, then knelt down on one knee in Tang Qing's direction with fervor!
"king!"
The sound shook the heavens!
This miraculous act of bringing someone back from the dead caused Tang Hao, who had just been brimming with murderous intent, to suddenly shrink his pupils.
"Blue Silver King, you actually dare to show yourself?"
Tang Hao's voice carried a hint of surprise and doubt.
He never expected that, faced with the lineup of the three of them, Tang Qing didn't even have the intention of running away, but dared to show himself.
You should know that last time in the Star Dou Great Forest, if it weren't for the need to protect Tang San, Tang Chen alone would have been able to completely crush him!
Tang Chen was equally puzzled.
He looked at Tang Qing quietly, and a slight ripple appeared in his usually calm eyes.
He could sense that the young man in front of him seemed to have changed in some way compared to last time.
However, no matter what, a junior who has only recently been promoted to Limit Douluo could never be his opponent.
Why didn't he run?
"Blue Silver King!"
Tang San's venomous voice rang out, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
His eyes were filled with hatred that seemed to spit fire.
"Today is your death day!"
Tang Qing finally turned his gaze to the three of them, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt.
"You guys?"
This rhetorical question instantly ignited Tang Hao's anger.
"Still dare to talk back!"
Tang Hao roared angrily.
"Last time, you destroyed my Tang Sect, slaughtered my four affiliated sects, stole my Ah Yin, and even stripped Xiao San of her soul bone right in front of me, severely injured me, and made me lose face!"
"I will make you pay for each and every one of these crimes in blood today!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Qing raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise.
"oh?"
"Tang Hao, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that I was so amazing."
His nonchalant tone drove Tang Hao even more insane than the most vicious curses.
"you!"
"Blue Silver King!"
Tang San took over the conversation, pointing at Tang Qing, his voice distorted with excitement.
"You broke my right leg and stole the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone that my mother left me! This is an irreconcilable feud! Today I'll make you pay!"
Tang Qing's gaze fell on Tang San's right trouser leg, which was completely covered up, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
"Tang San, why is your right leg so tightly bandaged?"
"How about I see what your newly reattached right leg looks like?"
