The news that the Tiger Roaring Mountains, Tiger Power Mountains and Tiger Fury Mountains were occupied by the Tiandou army reached Xingluo City.
These three mountain ranges have always been the natural defense barrier of the training ground, but now they have become a cage that besieges them.
The army of the Tiandou Empire occupied these three mountain ranges. The people of Xingluo City had little chance of escaping, let alone fighting back.
The already panic-stricken people in Xingluo City became even more alarmed after this news came back, and many people secretly escaped from Xingluo City.
Many people believe that the fall of Xingluo City is only a matter of time, and the army of the Tiandou Empire will soon be at the gates of the city.
Emperor Xingluo was very angry, but in fact, the worries in his heart were better than before.
What he was most worried about was that Qian Renxue would directly send troops to Xingluo City. With two Titled Douluo present, it was hard to say how long Xingluo City could hold out.
But now Qian Renxue occupied the other two mountains out of "caution", which undoubtedly gave him some breathing time while waiting for reinforcements from Wuhun City.
Emperor Xingluo placed most of his hopes on the intervention of the Spirit Hall. After all, no one else could save him.
However, after the three major mountain ranges were occupied, Emperor Xingluo's life was like a year in a day.
Although the Tiandou Empire's army never arrived, there was no response from Wuhun City either, leaving Xingluo Emperor somewhat bewildered. Was the training ground isolated from the outside world? Was no one concerned about Xingluo City's life or death?
With three mountain ranges blocking the way outside, it is very difficult for Xingluo City to get any information from the outside world.
This kind of ignorance as if being in darkness is the most torturous. It would be fine if the sword fell, but it has been in this hanging state all the time.
Emperor Xingluo also sent some people to bypass the three major mountain ranges to inquire about the news from the outside world. It would also be good to ask other provinces and principalities to send people to support the king.
But eight out of ten of the people he sent out were killed, and even if the few remaining people escaped, it was unlikely that they would be able to come back.
However, Emperor Xingluo still knew some news from the outside world. Whenever a province or principality of the Xingluo Empire was occupied by the Tiandou Empire, the news would inexplicably spread in Xingluo City, as if someone had done it on purpose.
Emperor Xingluo did not doubt the truth of the news. After all, if it were not for the occupation of those principalities and provinces first, how could Xingluo City have remained safe and sound for so long?
Emperor Xingluo didn't know whether he should be happy or angry.
The actions of the Tiandou army undoubtedly gave him more time to survive, but seeing the Xingluo Emperor's thousands of years of foundation being continuously eroded and occupied, how could he not be angry and frustrated.
"Still no news from Wuhun City?"
Emperor Xingluo didn't know how many times he had asked this question. Although he got the same answer every time, he still asked it over and over again.
"Your Majesty, not yet. Perhaps the road to the training ground is blocked, so the news can't get through for a while."
The eunuchs close to Emperor Xingluo have been replaced several times.
Although Emperor Xingluo was overbearing, he was not very murderous in the past, especially towards those around him.
However, after the battle at Tiger Roar Mountains, Emperor Xingluo's temper changed drastically and he would get angry at the slightest provocation. Not only eunuchs and palace maids, but even many court ministers died at the hands of Emperor Xingluo.
Of course, those ministers either fled Xingluo City first, or told Emperor Xingluo to face reality and voluntarily offer Xingluo City in exchange for a fiefdom, which would at least save their own lives.
But how could Emperor Xingluo agree with such a suggestion? He even looked down on Emperor Xueye. How could he ask him to kneel down and surrender to the crown prince of Emperor Xueye and have his neck tied with a rope?
He didn't do nothing. When he knew that the army of the Tiandou Empire was occupying other areas of the Tiandou Empire, Emperor Xingluo still tried to lead the remaining forces of Xingluo City and launched a desperate counterattack.
But the result was not very good.
This time, Qian Renxue sent Thorny Porpoise Douluo to conquer other principalities, and kept Snake Spear Douluo by her side.
The counterattack by Emperor Xingluo resulted in a bloody head injury. The strength of Xingluo City, which had already been weakened, was lost by nearly half at once. The remaining people were all panicked and almost lost the will to fight.
In the Tiger Roaring Mountains, Qian Renxue was reading the battle report sent back by Thorny Porpoise Douluo when she suddenly felt a pair of gazes fixed on her.
"Who is it?"
Qian Renxue suddenly looked up.
Anyone who could sneak up on her side silently must be a Titled Douluo, and not just an ordinary Titled Douluo.
The last person who displayed this ability was Qian Qiusui. Qian Renxue knew that Qian Qiusui was now a 99th-level Titled Douluo like her grandfather Qian Daoliu, and was the pinnacle of the human world.
Qian Renxue was originally very nervous, thinking that it was the Titled Douluo who was related to the royal family of the Xingluo Empire who came. However, when she looked up, she saw Qian Daoliu's face.
"Grandpa, why are you here?"
Qian Renxue's tone was filled with disbelief.
In her memory, Qian Daoliu seemed to have taken root in the Worship Hall and rarely left, let alone leaving Wuhun City directly.
"Grandpa missed you, so he came to see you."
Qian Daoliu's tone was very gentle, and there was absolutely no falseness in his love for his granddaughter.
Especially since Qianxunji died early, Bibi Dong had always treated Qian Renxue as an enemy, not to mention that she has disappeared now.
"Grandpa wanted me to go back to Wuhun City, didn't he? Why would I have to come here in person?"
Qian Renxue did not completely believe Qian Daoliu's words. She didn't want to think about it earlier or later. She was already so old, but her grandfather had left Wuhun City.
Qian Daoliu also realized that his words had a lot of flaws, and said:
"Xiaoxue has truly grown up. You've even managed to lead an entire nation's army to attack another empire, and you've achieved such brilliant results so quickly, far surpassing your previous aspirations. Most importantly, your own cultivation hasn't fallen behind either, you've even reached Soul Sage status."
Compared to the so-called throne of a country, Qian Daoliu values personal strength more.
Qian Renxue's strength grew so fast that Qian Daoliu was very pleased and had greater expectations for Qian Renxue to successfully inherit the throne of the Angel God.
After chatting with Qian Daoliu for a while, Qian Renxue became even more confused.
She couldn't think of any big event that could make Qian Daoliu leave Wuhun City. Suddenly, she seemed to realize something.
"Grandpa, where is that woman?"
Qian Renxue seldom mentioned Bibi Dong in front of Qian Daoliu, but this time she took the unusual initiative to ask.
Qian Daoliu's eyes fluctuated slightly. He knew that he was too impatient and Qian Renxue had noticed something.
Qian Daoliu is indeed not good at planning, and his acting skills are so poor that he can't even fool Qian Renxue.
He originally wanted to find an excuse to fool her, but looking at Qian Renxue's determined eyes, Qian Daoliu really realized Qian Renxue's growth and changes, and the words he was about to say changed.
"Your mother..."
