Xue Qinghe's face abruptly changed color, and he cried out in alarm.

"What!"

At this moment, Xue Qinghe's expression was terribly gloomy, and infinite killing intent surged within his eyes!

"Hmph, I actually underestimated my stupid brother. To think he would have the guts to rebel!"

"Young Master, I'm afraid this isn't the idea of that useless dim sum, Xue Beng, is it?" The Light Feather Douluo (Guangling) frowned deeply. "Based on my observations, that Xue Beng is nothing but a lecherous sack of wine and rice. Where would he get such courage and insight to gather a crowd and rebel in Heaven Dou City?"

"Grandpa Five, are you saying..."

The Light Feather Douluo said, "I predict there must be an expert guiding him from behind!"

"An expert? Are you talking about that Davis?"

"Nine times out of ten, it's him. The current chaos in Heaven Dou is entirely beneficial and without harm to his Star Luo Empire!"

Hearing this, the Dragon Tamer Douluo (Jiangmo) snorted coldly. "I didn't expect this Star Luo Crown Prince to actually have a few tricks up his sleeve, to think of letting Xue Beng strike first to gain the upper hand!"

The Thousand Striker Douluo (Qianjun) also spoke up. "Young Master, since the other side has already struck first, we should also make plans early. Young Master, say the word. What should we do?"

"Hmph, since Xue Beng has already gathered a crowd to rebel, then we will beat him at his own game and capture this group of rebellious ministers and traitors!"

With that, Xue Qinghe called for a group of guards and shouted, "Prince Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing have rebelled and are attempting to forcibly abduct my Imperial Father, Emperor Xue Ye. Soldiers, follow me immediately to lead the army and quell the rebellion!"

"As you command!"

More than ten generals of the Heaven Dou Empire shouted in unison, their spirits soaring to the clouds and their killing intent like a rainbow. They immediately led a group of guards to break through the encirclement, rushing toward the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace!

However, the center of Heaven Dou City was now in complete chaos. Following Prince Xue Xing's orders to have people shout in the streets that "Crown Prince Xue Qinghe intends to rebel, all nobles and commoners of Heaven Dou City are ordered to save the Emperor," the city was now a sea of people. Heads bobbed everywhere, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Hearing someone shout "Xue Qinghe is rebelling," Xue Qinghe was so angry his face turned green. He cursed furiously, "Damn it! That bastard Xue Beng dares to act like a thief crying 'stop thief'..."

Although it was true that he was indeed intending to rebel.

"Soldiers, follow me to break through the siege and enter the palace to rescue Imperial Father!" With that, Xue Qinghe cracked his whip and rode a white horse with spirit beast bloodline, galloping toward the palace.

At the same time, he secretly transmitted his voice to the Lion Douluo and the others: "Four Grandpas, and Elder Demon Bear, I trouble you to go to the palace immediately. You must kill Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing. You absolutely cannot let the two of them take Emperor Xue Ye away!"

"As you command!"

The five spoke in unison, then transformed into streams of light of various colors, rushing toward the palace with killing intent. They were unstoppable along the way, arriving at the palace in just a few minutes.

At this moment, the palace had already turned into a sea of fire. The patrol army and the disciples of the Star Moon Sect were fiercely battling the Imperial Palace guards. Shouts of killing were constant, and there were casualties every second.

The four Spirit Douluo from the Clear Sky School swung their Clear Sky Hammers, slaughtering in all directions within the palace. With these four berserkers present, the Star Moon Sect's side quickly gained the upper hand. It wouldn't be long before they could break out of the encirclement!

Meanwhile, Davis and the others stood to the side, waiting for the rabbits by the tree stump—awaiting the Titled Douluo dispatched by Spirit Hall.

"Eighth Soul Skill: Limitless Realm!"

Suddenly, at that very moment, a strong sense of crisis sprouted in Davis's heart. He hurriedly channeled his soul power and released his eighth soul skill!

"Eighth Soul Skill: Power of the Earth!"

Boom—

As Davis activated his eighth soul skill, an earth-shattering explosion rang out. The nearby ground instantly bulged upward, forming a massive, square stone pillar. As the ground rose, the Spirit Masters and soldiers on top looked bewildered, swaying unsteadily, unable to even stand firm.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In the instant the stone pillar rose, tens of thousands of ice arrows suddenly shot out from the ground below, shooting toward the sky with lightning speed, accompanied by the sharp whistling sounds of breaking air.

Looking at the attacking profound ice arrows, the soldiers on the stone pillar felt lingering fear. Fortunately, Davis had raised the ground in time to form the pillar; otherwise, those arrows would have pierced their hearts thousands of times over!

"Oh? Not bad! You actually detected my Limitless Realm soul skill?"

Abruptly, a playful and lively voice came from mid-air. Davis followed the sound and saw a silver-haired youth holding a Light Feather Longbow, standing in the void with a faint smile on his lips.

Being able to walk on air—without a doubt, this youth was a Titled Douluo. And there were a total of five people floating in the air just like him!

The moment he saw the silver-haired youth, Davis recognized his identity. It was the Fifth Worshipper of the Hall of Worship, the Light Feather Douluo.

"So it is the illustrious Light Feather Douluo!" The corners of Davis's mouth lifted as he teased, "I wonder why the Light Feather Douluo, a Worshipper of Spirit Hall, is interfering in the affairs of the Heaven Dou Empire? Could it be that Spirit Hall and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe have joined forces to assassinate Emperor Xue Ye and seize the Heaven Dou throne?"

These words caused the expressions of everyone present to change in shock, especially the palace guards. They had been bought by Xue Qinghe to work for him.

If Xue Qinghe was doing this to inherit the throne, it was understandable; after all, the imperial family was known for its ruthlessness. But if Xue Qinghe was allying with Spirit Hall to murder Emperor Xue Ye, that was a grave crime. They would likely face the execution of their entire families.

"Hehe, Your Highness the Star Luo Crown Prince, you can eat rice indiscriminately, but you cannot speak words indiscriminately." The Light Feather Douluo smiled faintly, pointing at Davis. "Let me ask you, why is the Star Luo Crown Prince with Prince Xue Beng? Could it be that Prince Xue Beng has allied with the Star Luo Empire to murder Emperor Xue Ye and seize the Heaven Dou throne?"

The Light Feather Douluo returned the favor in kind. Before Davis could argue, he spoke again.

"Since Prince Xue Beng can ally with you, the Star Luo Crown Prince, why can't Crown Prince Xue Qinghe ally with us? After all, if Emperor Xue Ye dies, the throne naturally belongs to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. What need does he have to rebel? On the contrary, your Prince Xue Beng, leading an army to storm the palace and forcibly abducting His Majesty, carries a very strong suspicion of rebellion!"

"Heh~ Right and wrong, justice lies in the hearts of the people. Since Your Excellency Light Feather Douluo puts it that way, let's just see the truth under our hands! Since our two great powers have met, it wouldn't be right if we didn't fight a battle!"

As he spoke, Davis released his soul power. Eight soul rings emerged one after another, the two bright red soul rings dazzling the eyes! Seeing them, the Light Feather Douluo frowned deeply.

"Hmph, Davis, we haven't seen each other in over three years. Do you still recognize us?" The Dragon Tamer Douluo released his Coiling Dragon Staff, pointing it straight at Davis's face.

"So it is the Dragon Tamer Douluo and the Thousand Striker Douluo. Perfect. The battle from three years ago needs a conclusion! Let us settle new hatreds and old scores together!"

With that, Davis took the tender hands of his two beautiful wives, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing, while secretly transmitting orders to the others.

"Senior Dugu, I rely on you to hold off the Light Feather Douluo; Dean Lin, I trouble you to hold off the Demon Bear Douluo; Elder Ning and Lingling will provide support and healing for you. President Yang, I trouble you to protect Elder Ning and Lingling."
