Chapter 147: Taking Xingluo
The result was almost not surprising. Lang Lei quickly captured Xingluo City and then put his sword on the neck of the Xingluo Emperor.

“You lose.” Lang Lei laughed.

Emperor Xingluo moved his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing.

“The victor becomes the king and the loser becomes the bandit, so…how do you think I should deal with you and all of you?” Lang Lei looked at Emperor Xingluo and the ministers behind him with amusement.

“Do you really think that as long as we take over Xingluo City, we can take over the Xingluo Empire?” At this time, the young and energetic Davis shouted.

Lang Lei looked over and saw a face that looked very similar to Dai Mubai.

“You are Davis, right? I have met Dai Mubai before, we are truly brothers.” Lang Lei nodded.

Davis was stunned. Was the other party talking about his incompetent and cowardly brother?

But then, Lang Lei’s words came again –

“That guy offended my people, so I killed him at that time.” Lang Lei dispersed the sword in his hand, “But then I thought it was too easy for him, so I attacked him today.”

The faces of Emperor Xingluo and Davis turned black. Even many princes and ministers were cursing Dai Mubai in their hearts at this time, asking why you had to pick on this evil star when you could pick on anyone else.

“I am deeply disturbed by the way the royal family of the Xingluo Empire educates their descendants. After all, I live in Xingluo City now. If all the princes are like this, it would be really disgusting.” Lang Lei showed a helpless expression on his face.

“Oh, by the way, you were just trying to say that the Xingluo Empire also has large and small principalities and generals stationed on the border, right?” Lang Lei pretended to have suddenly realized something, as if he had just remembered it. “It’s really comprehensive, but it’s a pity…

I sent three Extreme Douluo to teach them personally, so I think there shouldn’t be any who don’t know how to count.”

Davis was about to say something when he was stopped by the Xingluo Emperor.

Not to mention the terrifying power behind Lang Lei, Lang Lei himself is already a strong force.

Davis is still young, but he sees things clearly. The other party is just finding an excuse. At least he doesn’t believe that the other party, with such strength, would do so for his female companion.

After all, some of the other party’s information is still on his desk, and the behavior of the fourth prince of Tiandou, Xue Beng, had made him happy.

But the fact is just the opposite. Lang Lei came to attack Xingluo City for two reasons: to vent his anger and to speed up the process.

“Sir, just like you said, the victor takes it all. What do you think?” The Xing Luo Emperor looked at Lang Lei with admiration. As an Extreme Douluo who was less than ten years old, it was not unfair for him to lose.

There was no time to marvel at the other party’s strong talent. After all, the enemy was already at the gates of the city.

Although he was asking Lang Lei, Emperor Xingluo already had the answer in his heart.

Although it was a siege, most of the soldiers on the Xingluo Empire’s side were knocked unconscious and lost their combat effectiveness, otherwise the other side would have won the war faster.

This move should be intended to avoid the consumption of national strength and… win over the hearts of the people.

If Emperor Xingluo did not have absolute confidence in his intelligence network, and if Lang Lei himself had not had no intention of hiding anything, Emperor Xingluo would have suspected that the intelligence he had obtained was false.

“I don’t want to do anything, but the next plan may require your cooperation.” Lang Lei replied.

“What if I don’t cooperate?” Emperor Xingluo took a deep breath and asked tentatively.

“I wonder if Your Majesty has ever heard of a soul skill called the Nine Clans Separation Technique.” Lang Lei laughed sinisterly, “This method is too cruel. I don’t want to use it unless it is necessary.” The Xingluo Emperor’s face trembled. What is this Nine Clans Separation Technique? Isn’t it just killing nine clans?
He is the emperor, how could he not know!

But I never thought that I would be threatened by someone using this trick. It really is a matter of time…

“I understand…” Emperor Xingluo said somewhat dejectedly, “I will cooperate.”

Lang Lei was a little surprised. He originally thought that the iron-blooded Emperor Xingluo would not care about these things.

Alas, there is no chance that the tools I prepared will be used…

Emperor Xingluo looked at Lang Lei with a disappointed expression, his face twitching. He was glad that he did not choose the second path.

“Now, you start drafting an edict, announcing your abdication and giving way to me,” said Lang Lei.

Emperor Xingluo nodded, showing no surprise.

After all, the fight has already begun right in front of us. What else can we do?
“I’ll give you one day. I want to see the results tomorrow afternoon.”

After saying that, Lang Lei disappeared from the spot, taking the army below with him.

Looking at this mysterious and unpredictable method, everyone fell silent again.

The next morning, a piece of news that shook the Douluo Continent came out from the Xingluo Palace.

It was Emperor Xingluo who issued the edict:

Xingluo Dynasty has gone through ups and downs, but it is still glorious. I am humble, but I have received the love of the previous emperor. Since I ascended the throne, I have been trembling with fear, fearing that I would fail the world. Now I feel that my body is gradually declining, and I am exhausted. I know that I am no longer able to lead the empire forward. Fortunately, there is the wise ruler Langlei, who is both virtuous and talented, wise and brave, and is deeply loved by the court and the people. He is extremely intelligent, well-read, and has amazing talent. He is a blessing to the Xingluo Empire. I am very relieved and have decided to abdicate and give the throne to the wise ruler Langlei. I hope he can lead the Xingluo Dynasty to create a more glorious future.

Although I have abdicated, I am still full of hope for the future of the empire. I believe that under the wise leadership of Lord Langlei, the Xingluo Dynasty will be more prosperous and peaceful. I also hope that the subjects of the world can unite as one, assist the new monarch, and jointly create a new chapter for the empire. I hope that under the leadership of Lord Langlei, the Xingluo Dynasty can innovate, benefit the people, and achieve great achievements for thousands of years.

From now on, the Dai family will no longer be the Xingluo royal family. I hope that all the subjects in the world will perform their duties conscientiously, assist the new monarch, work together, and create great achievements. The Xingluo Dynasty will last forever!

This is hereby announced to the world.

Star Emperor

As soon as this edict was issued, it quickly caused an uproar throughout the continent. With Lang Lei’s deliberate promotion, it quickly spread to various locations in Douluo Continent.

But all this has nothing to do with the Xingluo Emperor for the time being. At this moment, he is sitting dejectedly on the throne, looking at the Xingluo City below.

The Xingluo Empire, once a glorious empire, no longer belongs to the Dai family. The Xingluo Emperor stood in the imperial capital, his eyes full of sadness and despair.

This city was once his pride and a symbol of his power. Now, it is only desolate and lonely. The streets are still prosperous, without the mess and ruins after the war. In the imperial palace, the magnificent palace is still there, quietly telling of its former glory.

Emperor Xingluo looked at the imperial capital in front of him, his heart filled with pain and helplessness. He once dreamed of pushing the empire to a more glorious peak, but now he can only watch helplessly as the empire is handed over to others. He once possessed supreme power and wealth, but now he is left with only loneliness and despair…
