**More than twenty days passed in the blink of an eye.**
The Day of Judgement was getting closer and closer. News of Fang Xuan's public trial and execution had already spread throughout the entire Douluo Continent. It caused considerable commotion and became the hottest topic on the continent.
"Have you heard? The Spirit Hall has locked up Fang Xuan."
"The champion of the Soul Master Tournament has been reduced to a prisoner. Life is unpredictable."
"I heard that Fang Xuan caused a lot of trouble recently. Even the Pontiff's Palace was destroyed by him."
"What. Even the Pontiff's Palace was destroyed? Fang Xuan is something. It's a pity that he's in the hands of the Spirit Hall. I'm afraid he won't live for long."
Everyone in the world was talking about it. Fang Xuan was originally a peerless genius, but now he had been reduced to a prisoner. The vast difference between a mountain's peak and the cliff's bottom made people sigh.
However, the current Fang Xuan was no longer a nameless, solitary piece of trash. He was the prince of the Heaven Dou Empire and the son-in-law of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. He had the backing of these two superpowers on the continent and solid support. He wasn't an ant that the Spirit Hall could easily bully.
As time passed, the Day of Judgement was about to arrive. The rescue operation surrounding Fang Xuan was also quickly carried out. The entire world was in turmoil.
Over the past few days, the Heaven Dou Empire had mobilized its troops and prepared for war. They had gathered a hundred thousand soldiers and were stationed at the foot of the Imperial City. The soldiers shouted, and the horses neighed. Killing intent filled the sky. Countless people trembled in fear.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect also ordered to gather their disciples from all over the continent. In less than three days, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect had gathered an army of over a thousand soul cultivators.
The entire continent was in an uproar. They felt that something big was about to happen. Many people guessed that there would be an earth-shattering battle soon.
...
Heaven Dou Empire.
Imperial Palace, Great Hall.
"This is too much. This is too much."
The Emperor paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back. His footsteps were heavy, and each step seemed to hit the hearts of the ministers. Even the nobles were shocked.
Everyone could feel how angry Xue Ye was from the Emperor's cold face.
There were many familiar faces in the hall, including Ning Fengzhi and other core members of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, titled battle pet warriors such as the Sword Douluo, the Bone Douluo, and Dugu Bo, as well as nobles such as Prince Xue Xing.
All of you, listen to my orders in the palace.
All the nobles and powerhouses of the Heaven Dou Empire gathered in the main hall as they awaited the Emperor's final order.
"This is a false accusation. It was a frame-up. It's a blatant frame-up. The Spirit Hall has gone too far. They arrested Fang Xuan without distinguishing right from wrong and jailed him. They even labeled him as a murderer and a traitor to the Spirit Hall. How dare they."
The Emperor was enraged. His dignified face was covered with frost. Dense soul power surged out, and his grey hair danced wildly. He looked like an angry lion, and his aura was oppressive.
Not long ago, Fang Xuan had defeated the invincible legend of the Spirit Hall and won the Soul Master Tournament for the Heaven Dou Empire. The Emperor was overjoyed when he heard this. This was the Heaven Dou Empire's first championship trophy, which was very significant.
However, his happiness didn't last long before the news of Fang Xuan being arrested by the Martial Spirit Palace came. This made him angry and troubled. The entire Heaven Dou Empire was in turmoil.
"I have decided to save Fang Xuan at all costs."
The Emperor sat back on his dragon throne and looked down at his ministers with a determined expression. He made his final decision — to fight the Spirit Hall to save Fang Xuan.
Fang Xuan's potential was too great. Not only did he win the Soul Master Tournament, but he also fought the Martial Spirit City and destroyed the Pontiff's Palace. His future was limitless.
This was obvious to all.
Even though the Emperor was wary of the Martial Spirit Palace, he was prepared to take a risk for Fang Xuan. He was going to challenge the Martial Spirit Palace.
Furthermore, Fang Xuan was his son…
"Your Majesty, shouldn't we discuss this matter again?."
At this time, a red-clothed count objected. He said hesitantly, "The strength of the Spirit Hall is unfathomable. It has been at the center of the two empires' attacks for many years. However, it has been able to do so with ease. Is it worth it to dispatch so many people for a small Fang Xuan?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. This is trading the safety of the Empire for a person's life. I don't think it's advisable."
Another noble stood out and objected. "Furthermore, when we attack the Spirit Hall, the Balak Kingdom and other countries have been eyeing us covetously. What if they take the opportunity to attack the Heaven Dou Empire? If things go wrong, the empire will be destroyed."
"Your Majesty, you can't attack the Spirit Hall."
Many people knelt in the great hall and cried as they begged. They tried to stop the Emperor from leading troops to rescue Fang Xuan. They believed that this would lead to the destruction of the empire.
"Hmph. A bunch of spineless cowards."
Dugu Bo frowned and snorted. He scanned the nobles, trying to stop Fang Xuan's rescue. His eyes were filled with disdain, and his chest burned with anger.
"Everyone, Fang Xuan has won the Soul Master Tournament for the Heaven Dou Empire. He has made a great contribution and brought glory to the Heaven Dou Empire. How can you sit by and do nothing?"
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi stood out and looked at the nobles coldly. He said, "If the empire does nothing and watches the Spirit Hall execute Fang Xuan, how will the world view the Heaven Dou Empire in the future? I'm afraid everyone will laugh at the empire for being weak and useless…"
"Public opinion is insignificant."
"It's not worth it to take such a huge risk and mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops for Fang Xuan."
"Your Majesty, please reconsider."
Many old nobles took advantage of their seniority and knelt on the ground. They were all trying to persuade the Emperor to give up on saving Fang Xuan.
These people who opposed the rescue of Fang Xuan were not only considering the possibility of success but also the struggle for imperial power.
What if Fang Xuan was rescued? Who would inherit the empire in the future? Where would the Crown Prince be?
The empire's imperial court was a pool of muddy water. It involved the interests of all parties. Even someone as smart as Ning Fengzhi felt a headache coming on.
There was chaos in the main hall. Both sides were arguing over whether or not they should rescue Fang Xuan. Prince Xue Xing was silent. He only looked up and secretly observed his brother's expression change.
After silence, the Emperor looked up and coldly glanced at the nobles, arguing fiercely. He said calmly, "Take them out and behead them."
These nobles were stunned. They immediately knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, begging for mercy.
However, the Emperor said coldly, "From now on, anyone who dares to oppose the rescue of Fang Xuan will be killed without mercy."
Soon, those nobles who opposed Fang Xuan's rescue were taken away by the golden-armored guards. They were all beheaded at the entrance of the great hall. Bloody heads rolled on the clean and transparent floor, frightening countless people.
Even Prince Xue Xing kept quiet out of fear. He did not dare to speak casually.
At this moment, the Emperor stood up from the throne. His royal aura spread out. He looked down majestically and said firmly, "I have made up my mind. I will attack the Martial Spirit Palace and rescue Fang Xuan."
