Chapter 149 Zhuang Xingyu and others arrive at Tiandou City
"I see, that's how it is! It turns out that I only need to devour the vitality and soul power of other creatures. This is exactly what I want. This is so easy, it's my specialty!"

Tang San could no longer suppress his excitement, and hurried to the menial area, caught a man, and regardless of his struggle, he broke his neck and began to devour him. The blood in the poor man's body quickly disappeared, and his soul was completely extinguished.

A few minutes later, Tang San wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Great, great, so great! The speed of increasing spirit power is too fast. This is just a creature without spirit power. If it absorbs spirit masters, or even Titled Douluo, then I, Tang San, will be invincible!"

"The Western Demon Bible, what a treasure! No wonder, no wonder, no wonder the soul masters of those powerful forces can improve their soul power much faster than ordinary people. It's not just because their innate soul power is higher and their resources are more abundant, but more importantly, they have soul power operation methods tailored according to their own martial souls."

"The Eastern Divine Religion is not the strongest force in Douluo Continent, but it has such a powerful mental method. Those forces that are stronger than the Eastern Divine Religion may have even more powerful mental methods, such as the distraction control function of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Angel Swordsmanship of the Spirit Hall recorded in the Holy Religion Library..."

"But fortunately, I, Tang San, now have the three skills of Xuantian Gong, Little Sunflower Manual, and Western Demon Bible. It's hard for me not to fly!"

“The Spirit Hall’s golden generation, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan’s twins, are no match for me. As long as I have time, even Dongfang Rengui and Zhuang Xingyu will be beaten by me. I, Tang San, am the strongest genius of the young generation in Douluo Continent today. The only one who will reach the top of the continent in the future can only be me, Tang San!”

From the moment Tang San completely became an evil spirit master, it meant that he had completely failed. His body had already experienced many serious injuries, and now he was practicing the Western Demon Bible. Although Tang San could now quickly improve his spirit power for a short period of time, his future was completely ruined. Without the blessing of the divine test, it would be difficult for him to become a Titled Douluo. His life span was only half of that of a normal spirit master of the same level, which was even shorter than that of an evil spirit master of the same level.

……

Not long ago, the Tiandou Empire issued a general amnesty, and each province pardoned 3500 criminals with less serious crimes.

It turns out to be the 3,500th anniversary of the founding of the Tiandou Empire, and it will be here in half a month!

In order to demonstrate the prosperity of the Tiandou Empire, the Tiandou Empire also cleared out the beggars and vagrants in Tiandou City and its surrounding areas one month in advance. All residents had to carry out a thorough cleaning to ensure that the entire Tiandou City was spotless.

Today, Emperor Xue Ye behaved contrary to his usual behavior. He did not stay in the palace, but instead went out of the city with the three Titled Douluo, Xue Yi, Xue Er, and Xue Wuming.

"Long live your Majesty!"

"Great Emperor! Great Emperor!"

Xue Ye's motorcade drove along the main street of Tiandou, and the people along the way knelt down excitedly. Most people had only seen Xue Ye in the public soul guides on Tiandou Street, and now was the first time they saw Emperor Xue Ye in person in reality.

The ordinary people living in Tiandou City can be said to be the ones who support the Tiandou royal family the most. Under the feet of the emperor, this is the basic base and headquarters of the Xue family's governance for thousands of years.

Especially in the past three years, the Xue family has produced three Titled Douluo, and has also cleared out some branches of the surrounding Spirit Hall. The major kingdoms and principalities that had actually been divided for more than a thousand years are now directly controlled by Xue Ye for more than 3%. His strength has greatly increased, and his influence and prestige among the people have been getting higher and higher.

"Hello, my dear people!" Xue Ye, under the protection of three Titled Douluo, also appeared to interact with the people.

"Hello, Great Emperor!"

"Long live His Majesty!" × Many, many of them, some old men even fainted due to excitement.

Since Emperor Xue Ye began to centralize power, the lower-class people have clearly felt that their lives have become much better. The most obvious change is that the numerous exorbitant taxes that were usually imposed have now all been abolished.

The arrogant and domineering nobles no longer dared to bully the people in the streets. The phenomenon of buying and selling people in the Tiandou auction house also completely disappeared. Even if it was still going on in secret, it would definitely not happen in public. The laws of the Tiandou Empire were no longer just verbal. The legal system of the Tiandou Empire was actually complete five hundred years before the establishment of the empire. After all, the social nature of the Douluo Continent has not changed. That legal system is the most suitable law for the Tiandou royal family and ordinary people.

In the meantime, the Tiandou royal family continued to decline, and the legal system was tampered with beyond recognition by separatist forces and aristocratic families in various places. Now Xue Ye has taken action and is gradually restoring the original legal system.

Five hundred years before the founding of the Tiandou Empire, the Tiandou Emperor had the final say, and the Tiandou Empire was truly prosperous at that time!

Five hundred years after Tiandou was founded, until Xue Ye centralized power, the Tiandou Empire was essentially a world shared by the royal family and major families. All major factions within the empire promoted this as progress, fairness, democracy, and justice, and beneficial to the development of the Tiandou Empire because it was in their interests.

But the reality is not as they preach. The people of the empire are living more and more difficult lives. The annual military expenditure remains high, but the combat capability has not improved. There has been no victory in any large-scale external war. The strength of Tiandou is declining, but the aristocratic families are getting richer and richer.

In fact, the people of Tiandou Empire don’t care about so-called progress, democracy, and freedom... Everyone understands that this is just a rhetoric to beautify the game between the various factions in the Tiandou Empire.

Compared to these big and empty lies, they expect a wise ruler who can give them a way to survive and a little dignity, even if it is only in form. However, this did not exist at all between 500 and 3497 of the Tiandou calendar, and those aristocratic families were too lazy to even do the face-saving work.

The convoy on the snowy night moved forward all the way, and amid the cheers of the people, it slowly drove out of Tiandou City and finally stopped one mile outside the city.

"Am I seeing correctly? Is Your Majesty waiting for someone?" The crowd watching from a distance looked at the scene in disbelief and talked about it.

"It is highly likely that it is. After all, the 3500th anniversary celebration of the Empire is about to be held. The leaders of all major forces will surely be here. There are several people who are qualified to be personally welcomed by His Majesty."

"Could it be Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall?"

"What a joke! It's impossible. Bibi Dong is such a disloyal, unjust, unkind and unfilial scum. Her reputation is so bad that she is not worthy of being personally welcomed by His Majesty. Besides, the relationship between our Heaven Dou Empire and Spirit Hall is not good."

"Look, look, look! There's a convoy coming up ahead. There's a big flag on it, and it's a leopard!"

"Oh, so it's the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan! No wonder, they are so powerful, and our Tiandou Empire now has a very close relationship with them."

"I have already said that they are the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan. Only they are qualified to have His Majesty go out of the city to welcome them. You didn't believe it before, but you believe it now!"

"You are such a hindsight person, when did you ever say these words?"

……

Although the Jidao Yin Yang Leopard Clan accepted the title of King Qi from Xue Ye, and nominally still belonged to the Tiandou Empire, that was just an illusory face-saving project. In the eyes of everyone on the mainland, the Jidao Yin Yang Leopard Clan and the Tiandou Empire were two forces, and this was indeed the case.

Some civilians were also very happy to see the arrival of the Jidao Yin-Yang Leopard Clan, because these people had more or less received help from the Mission Pavilion.
