"Article 3 of the Evil Soul Master General Rules: The life level of evil soul masters is higher than that of non-evil soul masters! The two are not the same species. Evil soul masters are the final version of life evolution. Therefore, all non-evil soul master creatures should be regarded as nutrients for the evil soul masters to improve, and can be hunted at will..."

"Article 4 of the General Rules for Evil Soul Masters:..."

The more Tang San read, the more excited he became. He couldn't help but shout, "Great, great, great! The Western Demon Bible is truly the ultimate truth! It's exactly the same as my point of view. It's simply tailor-made for me!"

"After just reading the first few pages, I suddenly had an epiphany. All the discomfort I had in the past disappeared. If I had gotten this book a few years earlier, I would have become a Soul Master long ago."

"It seems that I was too kind and too ignorant before. I thought that anyone I didn't like deserved to die. But now I think the scope is too small and should be expanded! From now on, anyone who doesn't submit to me will die. When I am stronger than them, I will kill them all!"

"I have always felt that the current concept of Douluo Continent is very wrong, especially the Quest Pavilion set up by the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan. It is completely meddling in other people's business! Let others suffer, it has nothing to do with me. Those civilians are lowly and deserve it. Those who cannot be used by me should all die."

Tang San continued to look down, "Evil soul masters do not need to absorb the soul power between heaven and earth, they only need to directly devour the vitality and soul power of other creatures, which can not only quickly improve soul power, but also eliminate the non-evil soul master forces on Douluo Continent."

"The absorption method is: ..."

There will be a chapter later

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, and the buying and selling of 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 words.

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, and 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.

Chapter 150 Qian Renxue's Winning

"Welcome King Qi. We have been looking forward to seeing you here for a long time. The whole Tiandou City is shining because of you. The wine we promised you is ready, just waiting for you." Xue Ye hurriedly took a few steps forward, smiling, and held Zhuang Jingxing's hands tightly as he got off the carriage.

Zhuang Jingxing also pretended to be very happy, "Emperor Xue Ye, you are so polite. I have been looking forward to this day for a long time! Congratulations on the 3,500th anniversary of the founding of the Tiandou Empire. Under your leadership, Emperor Xue Ye, the Tiandou Empire is undergoing earth-shaking changes and ushering in an immortal era of prosperity. On behalf of the Jidao Yin Yang Leopard Clan, I would like to send my most sincere blessings and wish the Tiandou Empire to get better and better. I hope that with our joint efforts, all evil forces can be driven out, allowing the Douluo Continent to usher in true peace and the human race to usher in a true era of prosperity!"

"Hahaha, King Qi is right. Let us join hands and create a better tomorrow! Let us work together for the prosperity of the human race."

Afterwards, the top leaders of both sides expressed concern and extended a warm welcome, saying some meaningless words. The surrounding professional welcoming team, which was actually a guard of honor, also started beating drums and gongs. In a word, they wanted to show the outside world that the relationship between the Jidao Yin-Yang Leopard Clan and the Tiandou Royal Family was very good and close.

Following the basic etiquette of Douluo Continent, Zhuang Xingyu smiled and mechanically shook hands with Xue Ye and the high-level Tiandou officials who came to greet him. A professional team nearby took a photo of both parties with a video soul guide.

Various pre-written copywriting, accompanied by photos, were quickly printed into newspapers and flyers and distributed throughout the mainland, both official and private.

There were endless reports like "Shocked, Emperor Xue Ye came out of the city to welcome them personally, it turned out to be them!", "The 3500th anniversary celebration of the Tiandou Empire seems to have undergone major changes", "Who on earth can make the entire Tiandou City shine?", "The heads of the two major forces met, and it seems that a war is about to begin!", "On the relationship between the major forces", "An inventory of the great help of the extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan to the Tiandou Empire"... Journalism has made them understand the game.

Anyway, the two empires, especially the various forces and civilians within the Tiandou Empire, all praised, promoted, and flattered the Jidao Yinyang Leopard Clan. For example: The Jidao Yinyang Leopard Clan is the strongest force in the world, and there are great good people everywhere, who are here to save the suffering civilians. The Tiandou Empire has a close relationship with them, and there are many benefits to cooperation between the two sides. And give examples to analyze the development process and actions of the Jidao Yinyang Leopard Clan...

The storytellers were all telling stories about the extremely powerful Yin-Yang Leopard Clan, which drew a round of applause.

In fact, the Jidao Yin-Yang Leopard Clan has never sent anyone specifically to do publicity work, nor has it ever looked for any spokespersons within the internal factions of the Tiandou Empire. It has always been doing practical things in a down-to-earth manner, keeping a low profile, and developing quietly.

There is an old saying: If I have a strong enough fist, there will be great scholars to debate for me. This is roughly what it means.

Of course, the person who originally said this (in fact, it was not him who said it, but his subordinates who embellished it. He was just a barbarian and did not have the literary talent at all), and they were not strong enough, they just boasted, and they took advantage of the chaos of the Donglin Party and the rebellion of the border troops to collude with them, and only then were they pushed to the surface. But the truth is this.

Originally, everything was normal in the communication between Zhuang Xingyu and the others, just following the normal template. But when he fought against Crown Prince Xue Qinghe that day, the style changed.

Xue Qinghe held Zhuang Xingyu tightly, unwilling to let go, "Brother Yu, you are finally here. I have not seen you for a long time and I missed you so much. I was so happy that I couldn't sleep last night. Although we have only met twice including this time, I feel like we are as close as old friends. You are my confidant!"

Qian Renxue had been taking the opportunity to secretly observe Zhuang Xingyu, her heart was filled with shock and great pressure. Just now, she roughly felt the other party's physical strength, but she couldn't find the end. There was no doubt that he was much stronger than her; she had reached the level of Soul Saint, but she still couldn't see through Zhuang Xingyu's soul power level; and the quality of his soul power was obviously not as good as Zhuang Xingyu's.

Zhuang Xingyu's soul power level has always been a mystery to the outside world. Everyone is guessing what level Zhuang Xingyu's soul power is at the age of 13. Some say he is a soul king, some say he is a soul emperor...

"Ahaha, I'm also very happy to see Brother Qinghe!" Zhuang Xingyu pushed Qian Renxue away without leaving a trace, without any ripples in his heart.

Another round of nonsense...

After the meeting, the convoy entered Tiandou City. When the people nearby saw that it was the Jidao Yin Yang Leopard Tribe, they also cheered. Then the Jidao Yin Yang Leopard Tribe was led to the [Prince Qi's Mansion] in Tiandou City to rest.

After Zhuang Jingxing accepted the title of King of Qi from Xue Ye, the Tiandou Empire built the King of Qi Palace.

The Prince Qi's Mansion is just across a street from the Tiandou Palace, and is located in the core area of ​​Tiandou City. Except for its specifications being only slightly inferior to those of the Tiandou Palace, everything else is built to match the palace, and its level of luxury is even slightly higher than that of the Tiandou Palace.

In order to build the Prince of Qi's Palace, Emperor Xue Ye relocated many of the top aristocratic families and demolished many mansions. Even the mansions of Prince Xue Xing and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe were partially demolished.

The specifications and layout are quite sufficient, and the face-saving work is done very well.

Even though Zhuang Jingxing had never been here before, he only sent a few clansmen to guard the gate.

Along the way, Zhuang Xingyu had been observing the living conditions of the lower-class people in Tiandou City. Compared with the people from the provinces along the way, the local lower-class residents here had a higher quality of life. Having enough food was not a problem, they could basically read and write, and most of them had already left their jobs.

The people here are more informed. Everyone has relatives who are slaves in aristocratic families or officials, or they themselves are slaves.

In their spare time, they often discuss the situation of the entire continent and are more concerned about major events in the empire and some news from various aristocratic families. They often express what they think are good strategies for governing the country and are full of dissatisfaction with the current situation. However, there are almost no people who say that they want to leave Tiandou City and develop in Xingluo City, Wuhun City, or Jidao Yinyang City.

Instead of being like the ordinary residents in the commercial cities in the southern part of the Tiandou Empire, they pay attention to gossips like a new beautiful host in the fighting arena or a new top performer in the Yihong Courtyard.

This is a good thing, this is a good thing!

They are all poor people. They know that they can do nothing, but they often care about these things and do not intend to give them away. Why is this? It is because they love this land deeply and they hope that the Tiandou Empire will become better and more prosperous.

These poor people are not like the aristocratic families. No matter who rules, it is difficult to shake their interests. Even if the nobles flee and move to another place, they are still superior nobles. These poor people have nowhere else to go, and no one wants to see the strength of the Tiandou Empire more than them.

Similarly, more than 95% of Xue Ye's direct army members were selected from the poor in Tiandou City and the two surrounding provinces. Xue Ye trusted these people. If he selected them from the southern parts of the Tiandou Empire, Xue Ye would lose his military power in a few years.

Of course, this is only the difference between the lower-class people in the north and south of the Tiandou Empire. The upper classes all have the same faces and there is no difference.

The buildings in Tiandou City are also heavy and majestic. Many of them follow the architectural style of 3000 years ago and are full of historical charm.

Tiandou City also has a good geographical location, with convenient transportation links, and is basically located in the center of Douluo Continent.

Zhuang Xingyu was very satisfied. In the future, when he entered the Tiandou Empire after Fengtian Jingnan, he could continue to use this place as the capital, and Jidao Yinyang Baocheng would be used as a secondary capital. After all, Beiyuan was too far to the north, which was not conducive to controlling and governing the entire Douluo Continent.

More importantly, the barrier around Tiandou City is perfect!

It is surrounded by mountains on the east, west and north, and rivers and forests on the south. In the first 3 years after the establishment of the Tiandou Empire, these places were under the absolute control of the Tiandou royal family. Tiandou City was as solid as a rock and indestructible. Later, when the Tiandou royal family declined, these places were slowly occupied by other forces. Now Xue Ye is constantly taking them back.

For example: the strategic pass 150 kilometers east of Tiandou City, the former hidden place of Haotian Sect, which is now controlled by the Jidao Yinyang Leopard Clan [Dongzheng Mountain];

For example: Qibao Mountain controlled by Qibao Glazed Sect in the west of Tiandou City, which is the most important reason why Emperor Xue Ye had to make the main force of Qibao Glazed Sect move away from the original station and at least retreat dozens of kilometers. Otherwise, once Ning Fengzhi had any ideas and attacked Tiandou City from a high position, it would be difficult to deal with. Now that the Tiandou Royal Family has strength, they naturally don't want to suffer the grievances before.

Now the danger in the west has been basically eliminated by Emperor Xue Ye.

For example, the Blue Lightning Mountains controlled by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan in the north are the barrier to the north of Tiandou City. After being occupied by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, it became one of the biggest threats to Tiandou City.

Of the four barriers and passes in Tiandou City, the previous Tiandou royal family only controlled the rivers and forests in the south, which was the [Royal Hunting Ground].

At that time, Xue Ye had not yet activated the family treasure, and the strongest person in the royal family was only an old high-level Soul Douluo. Xue Ye also had many conflicts of interest with him. In that environment, he was still the de facto emperor, balancing the various factions of the empire and maintaining superficial unity. This shows how capable Xue Ye is. He is definitely not as useless as Tang San slandered in the original time and space.

Zhuang Xingyu thought about so much, but it actually only took him about ten breaths of time.
