Douluo V: Evolving the Ancient Dragon, Marrying to Become a God

"Now the question is, who will help us?" Oscar asked.

"That's indeed a problem," Dai Mubai frowned.

Relying solely on themselves, they couldn't stage a coup and might even be expelled. After all, this was the Xing Luo Empire, not a small town.

"I do have someone in mind," Tang San said.

Oscar and Dai Mubai both looked at him. "Who?"

Tang San smiled. "Come, I'll take you to see someone."

Dai Mubai and Oscar were puzzled.

Following Tang San, they left the royal city of the Xing Luo Empire.

"Where are we going, back to the village?" Oscar asked as Tang San led them to Holy Spirit Village.

"This place has already become that damn Su Bai's territory. We need to be careful," Oscar looked around, seemingly worried about attracting attention.

Dai Mubai also frowned deeply. "The Heaven Dou Empire has already joined the Dragon God Empire. We need to hurry and can't waste time here."

Tang San confidently said, "Don't worry, the person we need is here."

"What kind of expert could be in a small village like this?" Oscar asked, confused.

Tang San just smiled, "Just follow me."

Dai Mubai and Oscar followed Tang San into Holy Spirit Village, full of questions.

There, they found a seemingly ordinary blacksmith's house.

In the courtyard enclosed by a fence.

A middle-aged man was hammering iron.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

He looked about fifty years old, tall and muscular.

Despite his impressive physique, his appearance was rather unkempt.

His robe was tattered and unrepaired, revealing his bronze-colored skin.

His sturdy features looked even more determined with each strike of the hammer.

His hair was disheveled, and his face was covered with a beard that hadn't been groomed for who knows how long.

"Is this..." Dai Mubai and Oscar could hardly recognize the man.

But Tang San naturally called out, "Father, I need your help."

"It really is him..."

Dai Mubai and Oscar were stunned. This somewhat scruffy man was indeed Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect.

For some reason, he had returned to this small village to forge iron.

"Help?" Tang Hao stopped hammering and turned to look at the three. "What's the problem that the three of you can't solve?"

Tang San pointed to Dai Mubai. "We need to establish an influential force quickly, and the fastest way is for Dai Mubai to inherit the throne of Xing Luo Empire."

"I see, you need the emperor's consent," Tang Hao smiled.

"Yes, and we can't wait for the old emperor to slowly give up his position," Tang San explained.

"I understand," Tang Hao smiled faintly. "You want me to help put pressure on the emperor, right?"

"Yes!" Tang San said. "That way we can complete the task quickly."

Dai Mubai quietly tugged at Oscar's sleeve. "Will this... will this Clear Sky Douluo agree? After all, a coup is not a glorious thing."

Oscar shook his head. "I think he will agree. This is his son asking for his help."

"Alright." Tang Hao seemed to have heard their conversation and smiled. "Lead the way."

Hearing that Tang Hao had agreed, Dai Mubai and Oscar were ecstatic.

Tang San was also pleased. They traveled through the border of the Heaven Dou Empire to the Xing Luo Empire.

"Let's go straight to the emperor and finish this quickly," Tang Hao said, flying directly towards the palace.

Tang San and the others followed immediately.

"Boom!"

Tang Hao landed, creating a two-meter-long crack in the palace floor.

Tang San and the others weren't as imposing.

"Intruders! Call for reinforcements!" A Xing Luo Empire guard shouted in panic.

Tang Hao simply twisted his hand, killing the loudest guard.

But their commotion was too big to ignore. The entire palace was soon aware.

Soon, countless experts from the Xing Luo Empire palace appeared, surrounding the four.

"Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. Don't act rashly," Dai Mubai quickly raised his hands. "It's me, I've returned."

"Third Prince?"

Someone recognized him.

With that shout, others lowered their weapons.

"Son, you've finally returned." The white-haired Emperor of Xing Luo stood on the steps, smiling with open arms.

Dai Mubai was moved, taking three steps at a time to embrace his father.

But at that moment, the emperor's indifferent voice sounded, "Long time no see, Dai Mubai. You've finally decided to visit?"

"Just in time, I was planning to appoint a new crown prince, so none of you siblings need to worry about the throne anymore." The emperor smiled, "From now on, you are no longer the heir."

"Aren't you most fond of cultivation?" The emperor feigned concern, looking at Dai Mubai with a hypocritical, kind gaze. "Feel free to pursue it. The palace is fine without you."

Dai Mubai looked at him coldly, smiling without humor. "Looks like I came back just in time. Since when does the Xing Luo Empire need to appoint a crown prince to determine the sole heir?"

The emperor frowned. "Sounds like you still have thoughts about the throne?"

"More than thoughts. I, Dai Mubai, am determined to take it!"

"Hahaha, absurd!" The emperor roared, "The throne is mine! I decide who inherits it!"

"Oh?" Tang Hao stepped forward. "Such arrogance, who's backing you?"

"Clear Sky Douluo!"

The emperor's eyes widened as he saw Tang Hao and his Clear Sky Hammer.

Everyone else recognized him at this moment.

"You're not from the Xing Luo Empire. Stay out of our internal affairs," the emperor said, clearly fearing Tang Hao.

After all, the title of the youngest Douluo carried significant weight.

"Sorry," Tang Hao stepped onto the platform. "This throne is for my son's close friend and brother. Do you think I can ignore this?"

Each step Tang Hao took was a step on the hearts of all the Xing Luo Empire people.

Seeing this, the emperor's face slowly showed fear. He hadn't expected Dai Mubai to bring Clear Sky Douluo for support!

"Stay back!"
