"Xue Ye, you are too audacious!"
"Daring to lay hands on both of us, do you know the consequences of your actions?"
The seventh elder, Tang Lieyang, whose temper was as fiery as thunder, swept a glance around before finally locking his gaze onto the Snow Night Emperor.
As he spoke these words, the seventh elder stomped heavily onto the floor tiles made of high-quality stone in the imperial palace hall.
In the next instant, with a loud crack, the stone tiles beneath his foot shattered, and the surrounding tiles followed suit, crumbling into pieces.
Then, soul rings began to rise from beneath Tang Lieyang's feet, each one spinning in succession. These soul rings were yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black.
Upon seeing Tang Lieyang's soul ring configuration, the surrounding soldiers and imperial guards, almost instinctively, became more alert and fearful.
A Titled Douluo!
This was no trivial matter!
Facing such a supreme powerhouse, a single mistake could lead to them being obliterated without a trace.
After Tang Lieyang released his soul rings, the sixth elder, Tang Hanyun, followed suit and revealed his own soul rings.
Like Tang Lieyang, Tang Hanyun's soul ring configuration was two yellow, two purple, and five black.
In an instant, two Titled Douluos stood before everyone, causing the imperial guards and soldiers to fall into a state of heightened tension and fear.
While they had successfully surrounded Tang Lieyang and Tang Hanyun, no one dared to approach and apprehend them.
Hearing Tang Lieyang's words, the Snow Night Emperor smiled faintly, his lips curling into a subtle, disdainful smirk. His expression was filled with contempt as he spoke:
"Audacious? Throughout the entire Heaven Dou Empire, and even the entire Douluo Continent, I am above all others. So tell me, why would I fear striking at you?"
With those words, the Snow Night Emperor stood from his throne and commanded the imperial guards and soldiers: "All soldiers, seize them both!"
Before the guards could react, Tang Lieyang, the seventh elder of the Clear Sky Clan, immediately shouted, "I am here, and let anyone try to move against us!"
[TL/N: Clear Sky Clan = Haotian Sect.]
Staring directly at the Snow Night Emperor, he shouted fiercely, "Your Majesty, we have come here today to apologize. But if you choose to take action and attempt to capture us, don't blame us for being ruthless. The Clear Sky Clan will no longer recognize you as an ally!"
In response, the Snow Night Emperor coldly replied, his disdain evident in his voice, "No longer recognize me? You Clear Sky Clan are not even worthy!"
With a fierce glint in his eyes, the Snow Night Emperor issued another command: "I ask Mr. Lu to assist me and rid the Heaven Dou Empire of these two remnants of the Clear Sky Clan!"
Just as the Snow Night Emperor's words fell, Lu Yunzhou's voice resonated, "A small task. There's no need to be so polite, Your Majesty!"
In the blink of an eye, Lu Yunzhou moved with lightning speed, taking action before anyone could react.
Like a ghost, Lu Yunzhou's figure vanished and reappeared in an instant. He struck the sixth and seventh elders of the Clear Sky Clan before they had time to react.
As soon as they regained their senses, they were struck by Lu Yunzhou's palm and fist.
Although it seemed like a light strike, to the sixth and seventh elders, it was as though they had been struck by a devastating blow.
The immense force penetrated their bodies, sending them flying uncontrollably. Their internal organs were shifted violently by the force, and the sixth elder, struck by a punch, had all his meridians severed.
The seventh elder, in a similar state, collapsed to the ground, blood gushing from his throat, and he soon fainted from the overwhelming injury.
Witnessing this, the Snow Night Emperor smiled in satisfaction and immediately ordered, "Seize them at once!"
As the Snow Night Emperor's command echoed through the hall, the imperial guards and soldiers swiftly swarmed in, capturing the heavily wounded sixth and seventh elders of the Clear Sky Clan, who were now unable to fight back.
"Mr. Lu is truly magnificent! In an instant, he subdued two Titled Douluos, what power!"
"An immortal cultivator is indeed formidable. Mr. Lu is not someone to be taken lightly—he is truly a godly figure!"
"Mr. Lu should be appointed as the national teacher of our Heaven Dou Empire!"
"The Titled Douluo is the pinnacle of soul masters, yet in Mr. Lu's eyes, they are but ants. He defeated them with a single motion. Truly, Mr. Lu is an extraordinary and powerful figure."
The crowd murmured in awe, and among them, Qian Renxue seized the opportunity to assume control of the situation, declaring:
"Given Mr. Lu's two meritorious deeds in protecting us, from this moment on, Mr. Lu will be the national teacher of the Heaven Dou Empire!"
As soon as the Snow Night Emperor's words left his mouth, another wave of excitement spread throughout the hall.
"National teacher? Did I hear that right? Mr. Lu has become the national teacher of the Heaven Dou Empire! That means he will sit beside His Majesty, at the same level!"
"This is fantastic! With Mr. Lu at the helm, our Heaven Dou Empire will rise like the sun and soon surpass the Star Luo Empire!"
"At first, I thought Mr. Lu would be awarded a royal title or a province, but who knew he would become the national teacher directly!"
"Heaven bless the Heaven Dou Empire, we pay our respects to the national teacher!"
As one person led the way, the imperial guards and soldiers all bowed and saluted Lu Yunzhou in unison.
From that moment on, Lu Yunzhou officially became the national teacher of the Heaven Dou Empire.
"This girl, giving me the title of national teacher without even consulting me. Since that's the case, I'll have to teach her a lesson when I return!"
Lu Yunzhou looked around at the soldiers kneeling before him, deep in thought, already planning to give Qian Renxue a good scolding when he got the chance.
Otherwise, who knows what kind of reckless trouble this girl might stir up in the future.
Seeing Lu Yunzhou officially assume the role of National Preceptor, Qian Renxue was overjoyed.
She, Qian Renxue, had gone to great lengths to secure such a prestigious title for Lu Yunzhou. Surely, he would reward her handsomely for her efforts, right?
At this thought, anticipation filled her heart.
Turning his gaze to the unconscious Sixth and Seventh Elders of the Clear Sky Sect, Lu Yunzhou ordered coldly, "Take these traitors and throw them into the Sky Prison. Let them share a cell with Tang Hao!"
