Douluo Continent: Become stronger by stealing Tang San's luck!

Chapter 1184 The Heir to the Throne

The peaceful days lasted for a month.

During this period, high-ranking members of various sects will come to Tang City to discuss matters together.

The war between the two empires was beginning to show signs of brewing, just as Tang Lan had predicted.

The struggle between the two countries for key positions gradually ended in defeat for the Douling Empire.

The reason for this was that the Douling Empire lacked a sufficient number of high-level Soul Masters.

If it weren't for Tianyang Douluo possessing a secret technique that could drastically increase his strength in a short period, allowing him to fight against a level 98 opponent for a short time...

It's likely that Poison Undying, the sect leader of the Body Sect who supports the Heavenly Soul Empire, has already made his move.

Even so, the severe imbalance in the number of Soul Masters above level 70 on both sides was enough to turn the tide of the battle.

Meanwhile, the rebellious forces within the Douling Empire became increasingly rampant, having already captured several major northern cities.

This action greatly displeased the Tianqian Sect, as the other side had already expelled all forces within the city, including those of the Tianqian Sect.

However, the Tianqian Sect mobilized its forces three times to eliminate the rebellious forces, but each time it failed.

Subsequently, such forces emerged one after another in the northern, southern and central parts of the Douling Empire, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

This situation has occurred not only in the Douling Empire, but also in the Tianhun Empire and the Xingluo Empire.

Tang Lan chose to personally eliminate the rebellious forces within the Tang Clan's territory with swift and decisive action.

Among them, six Title Douluos and dozens of Soul Douluos were eliminated.

This demonstrates the immense power of this hidden force. The carelessness of other sects will only allow the opponent to expand even more powerfully without anyone noticing.

The final result was obvious: only within the territory of the Tang Clan did not see any more rebels appear across the entire continent.

On the city wall of Tang City,

Emily stood side by side with Tang Lan and spoke first: "Your previous reminder was correct."

"That's why the Douling Empire avoided many losses."

"However, due to the royal family's hesitation and arrogance, rebellious forces in other places still gained momentum."

"I have been ordered by the Emperor to invite you to the capital as the Grand Preceptor of the Douling Empire to discuss important matters."

Emily turned her head and looked at Tang Lan with a sincere expression.

Now, Emily naturally knew of Tang Lan's strength; at such a young age, he had already reached the pinnacle of the Soul World.

This is the powerful man that every female Soul Master in the Soul World dreams of marrying. Even a talented woman like Elimire couldn't help but feel a subtle emotion rising in her eyes.

"That depends on Xu Sanshi's opinion!"

"You may not know Xu Sanshi's identity yet, so let him explain it himself."

Tang Lan said with a smile, her gaze also falling on Xu Sanshi, who was standing in the crowd behind her with a somewhat dazed look in his eyes.

This guy seemed to have something on his mind, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

He stepped forward, sighed softly with a strange expression, and said, "I am a member of the royal family of the Douling Empire, and also a disciple of the Xuanming Sect."

"It's a pity that the Xuanming Sect has also declined, and its high-level combat power is almost gone."

"Although I am a member of the royal family of the Douling Empire, I am also one of the elders of the Tang Sect. I cannot let the affairs of the Empire implicate the Tang Sect."

"Let this empire perish if it's meant to. Some things can't be forced; they're destined to fall."

Xu Sanshi's eyes dimmed slightly after he finished speaking.

In fact, he had long been tired of the royal life, the kind of life filled with intrigue and even brothers killing each other.

That's why he lost his family; the so-called royal family and palace no longer held any appeal for him.

When Emily heard Xu Sanshi's words, her eyes widened immediately.

The quick-witted girl soon figured everything out and had roughly guessed Xu Sanshi's identity.

So she turned to look at Tang Lan again and pleaded, "The current emperor of the Douling Empire is no longer capable of ruling the empire."

"If you wish, I can have this descendant of the royal family succeed to the throne."

"In this way, the Tang Sect will have a reason to send troops, and we promise that the Tang Sect will be the main sect of the Douling Empire, and all matters thereafter will be subject to the decisions of the Tang Sect."

This was the answer Emily gave after some thought.

Tang Lan looked slightly surprised upon hearing this, and then said, "These matters do not seem to be within your authority to make decisions; you are overstepping your bounds."

Emily nodded.

"That's right, I can't make that decision in my current position, but my father can."

"The current king is already seriously ill. Even if we do this, he will soon pass away, and the Douling Empire will be leaderless."

"On this matter, I can make the decision on behalf of my father and the royal family."

When Emily spoke of these things, her eyes were firm, giving Tang Lan a resolute answer.

"Very well, since Miss Emily has said so, my Tang Sect is naturally willing to cooperate."

"Sanshi, go and make preparations. You'll be going back with Miss Emily this time!"

"Within three days, experts from my Tang Clan will arrive in the capital and personally handle all of this for you."

Upon hearing this, Tang Lan was naturally willing to facilitate the cooperation, so she turned to look at Xu Sanshi.

Upon hearing that Tang Lan was willing to help the Douling Empire, Xu Sanshi's eyes held a complex mix of emotions and joy.

He had already given up on this plan because he didn't want to implicate the Tang Clan, but now it seems that Sect Master Tang Lan has a better plan.

"Thank you for your help. On behalf of the Douling Empire's royal family, I express my gratitude!"

With a complex expression, Xu Sanshi stepped forward and performed the most solemn salute of the Douling Empire to Tang Lan.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"We're all on the same side, why are you acting like this?"

"As long as you manage the Douling Empire well, the Tang Sect will only become stronger. After all, you are also a member of the Tang Sect and an elder of the Tang Sect."

Tang Lan stepped forward, laughing heartily, and patted Xu Sanshi on the shoulder.

Xu Sanshi has now reached level 86, and breaking through to the Title Douluo level is just around the corner.

Tang Lan believed that with Xu Sanshi's status and strength, plus the background of the Tang Clan, he would be able to sit firmly on the throne, and no one would object.

After all, the throne is a hot potato for anyone, and almost no one is willing to take over an empire that is about to perish.

If you're not careful, you might even get yourself involved.

Perhaps only Tang Lan in this world would dare to do something like this.

While this would bring many benefits to the Tang Sect, it would also put the Tang Sect under pressure to confront the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Dark Holy Spirit Cult head-on.

After a simple lunch, Elimire, along with Xu Sanshi and a team of Tang Clan guards, boarded a carriage convoy and headed to the capital.

"Is this really a good idea for us?" (End of Chapter)
