170 Reactions from all parties
The entire palace fell into chaos, and the Royal Guards also became busy immediately.Fortunately, Ning Fengzhi acted in time to calm the disturbance. At the same time, in the name of the prince's teacher, he blocked what happened in the palace.
Qian Renxue probably didn't expect that even though she had already fled, someone would still be able to use her as an excuse.
However, this stability is only temporary. The news of Emperor Xue Ye's death cannot be concealed forever. Therefore, before the empire becomes turbulent, the issue of succession must be arranged.
On the other side, Qian Renxue, under the protection of several Titled Douluo, returned to Wuhun City without stopping.
Lingyuan Douluo and Ghost Douluo sent Qian Renxue and Qianjun Jiangmo back to the Worship Hall, while Ju Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo returned to the Pope's Hall to report.
"So she failed?"
Inside the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong sat on the Pope's chair, holding the scepter in her hand, her tone slightly low.
"Your Holiness, yes."
Ju Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo lowered their heads, feeling extremely nervous.
Although this failure was not caused by them, it was the Spirit Hall's long-term plan. Now it failed at the last minute, and they might be affected as well.
"Humph, this is the person trained by Qian Daoliu? How useless!"
Bibi Dong snorted coldly, with a look of sarcasm on her beautiful face.
The two Titled Douluo below the stage remained silent, their eyes looking at their noses, their noses looking at their mouths, and their mouths looking at their hearts. They felt extremely bitter in their hearts and did not dare to make any moves at all.
There are some things Bibi Dong says that they just can't bear to hear.
"Forget it. I didn't expect her to succeed anyway. Although she has alerted the enemy, at least all the male members of the Tiandou royal family have been killed. The Tiandou Empire will inevitably fall into chaos, which is also beneficial to the Spirit Hall."
Bibi Dong suddenly spoke, but did not react too radically.
This undoubtedly also made Ju Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo below feel relieved.
However, what they didn't know was that compared to Qian Renxue's successful inheritance of the Tiandou throne, failure would be more to the liking of His Holiness the Pope.
Long before her body was taken away by Qianxunji and her relationship was destroyed, Bibi Dong's heart had been devoured by evil. She became extremely extreme, believing that every life in the world is evil and that she wanted to take revenge on everyone in the world.
She not only wants to destroy the Spirit Hall, but also destroy everyone on the entire Douluo Continent.
Therefore, rather than relying on plans to conquer the Tiandou Empire, launching a large-scale war is what Bibi Dong would like to see, and she even wants to involve the entire continent.
Qian Renxue's failure this time undoubtedly helped her.
"It's finally useful. It will be useful soon. Once I finish the test..."
A crazy light flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, but she quickly hid it so that Ju Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo, who were lowering their heads, did not notice it.
"Everyone, go down, prepare well, and don't let me down again!"
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
The two Titled Douluo responded quickly, then turned and walked out of the Pope's Palace.
…
Wuhun City, Worship Hall.
"I am..."
On the exquisite big bed, Qian Renxue slowly opened her eyes.
The severe pain in her body had disappeared. She sat up suddenly and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar layout of the room. She suddenly relaxed.
This is her room in the offering hall, it is exactly the same as when she was a child!
"Have you returned to Wuhun City?"
Qian Renxue whispered softly, her slender hands gently caressing her chest. Everything that happened in the Tiandou Palace echoed in her mind, and her originally calm face suddenly became as cold as ice.
After a long silence, he managed to pull himself together.
The girl had been lurking for more than twenty years, spending her best years in lurking, just to be able to take down the Tiandou Empire in one fell swoop, but she failed in one day.
Qian Renxue silently clenched her fists, feeling quite unwilling.
It was just one step away. He just needed to wait for a while and announce the news of Emperor Xue Ye's death to the world. Then he could ascend the throne smoothly by disguising himself as Xue Qinghe.
Who would have thought that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, which had been on guard all the time, failed to react, and instead it was the long-missing Lin Chuan who ruined the plan!
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and forced herself to suppress the anger in her heart.
"Lin Chuan, you win this time, but I won't give up. We will meet again sooner or later!"
The cold voice echoed in the room, as if declaring war from a distance.
"Squeak—"
The door was suddenly pushed open.
"Xiaoxue, you finally woke up."
The man walked up the stairs and into the room with a faint smile on his face.
"Grandpa!" Qian Renxue quickly stood up and shouted.
The handsome man in front of her, who looked to be in his thirties or forties, was Qian Renxue's biological grandfather, and also the chief priest of the Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu.
He was tall but not strong, dressed in a plain gray robe, and looked exceptionally gentle, but just standing there made people want to worship him.
When the two stand together, it is hard to think of them as grandfather and granddaughter. Instead, they look more like brother and sister.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa, I failed."
Qian Renxue lowered her head slightly, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes.
The plan that had been prepared for many years, and with the assistance of the Spirit Hall, ultimately failed to succeed, which made Qian Renxue feel quite guilty.
"I already know what happened. Xiaoxue, you are still too anxious."
Qian Daoliu shook his head but did not blame him.
Without waiting for Qian Renxue to speak, Qian Daoliu continued, "Now that you are back, you should practice well. Now is the time to take part in the Angel Divine Exam."
"Yes, Grandpa, I will definitely not let you down!"
Qian Renxue looked solemn and her tone was unusually firm.
"When I have mastered my training, I will definitely defeat Lin Chuan head-on and wash away this humiliation!"
"Lin Chuan... I didn't expect that there would be another Tang Hao on the mainland, and he is the enemy of our Spirit Hall. These forces are really full of talents!"
Qian Renxue suddenly raised her head, "Grandpa, Lin Chuan is much stronger than Tang Hao, but I am confident that I can defeat him and lead the Spirit Hall to glory!"
"Grandpa believes in you, come with me!"
Qian Daoliu waved his hand and took Qian Renxue towards the Douluo Palace.
…
Before long, the news spread throughout the Tiandou Empire.
Emperor Xue Ye passed away, and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, Fourth Prince Xue Beng, and Prince Xue Xing were also assassinated one after another.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
As soon as this news came out, it caused an uproar in the Tiandou Empire. Countless people were shocked, but soon many nobles also became active.
The time when imperial power changes is also the most chaotic time.
Not only the nobles in the empire, but all the principalities and kingdoms have their own little thoughts. At the same time, the neighboring Xingluo Empire is also ready to make some moves.
However, before any action could be taken, the Tiandou Empire quickly responded.
With the support of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and Imperial Marshal Ge Long, the two men overcame all objections and decided that Princess Xue Ke, the daughter of Emperor Xue Ye, would inherit the throne.
The waves caused by this result were no less than the death of Emperor Xue Ye.
However, one is a powerful force that is one of the top three sects, and the other is the head of a military officer with a large number of troops. The two reached a consensus that even if the scoundrels wanted to cause trouble, they would not have the courage to do so.
The Xing Luo Empire made some probing attempts at the border, but ultimately decided not to act rashly.
On the surface, the death of Emperor Xue Ye did not bring about serious consequences, and the Tiandou Empire was barely able to maintain its rule.
Tiandou City, Dugu Bo's guest residence.
A captain of the imperial guard from the Tiandou Palace suddenly came here.
Lin Chuan was stunned. "You said the empress summoned me?"
"Replying to Lord Lin, His Majesty would like to invite you to the palace for a chat!"
Xue Ke has just ascended the throne and is not thinking about how to stabilize the court, win over the major officials, and build his own team. Why did he suddenly summon him?
Winning over?!
After a brief thought, Lin Chuan replied softly, "I see. You go report back to the Empress first. I'll wash up and come right after!"
"As you command, my Lord!"
The captain of the Royal Guard breathed a sigh of relief, bowed, and hurriedly turned away.
Dugu Bo at the side interrupted, "I didn't expect Xue Ke to become the emperor, a female emperor... This is probably the first case in the mainland!"
"Young man Lin, the palace suddenly summoned you because they want to win over the Marquis!"
Lin Chuan also smiled and nodded, "It should be the same as what you said, Senior Dugu. However, a princess has just ascended the throne. Her status has changed so much that her thoughts cannot be so fast. I'm afraid that Sect Master Ning is behind it!"
"So what are you going to do?" Dugu Bo asked again.
Lin Chuan shook his head. "Let's meet the empress first. After all, I am also a marquis of the Tiandou Empire, and my fiefdom is also within the Tiandou Empire. It would be best if we can live in peace."
"That's true. With your current strength and your territory so close to Tiandou City, if we don't figure out your attitude, I'm afraid the entire Tiandou Empire will be restless!"
"Then I will go to the palace first."
Lin Chuan stood up slowly and walked towards the Tiandou Palace at a leisurely pace.
At the same time, inside the palace.
Xue Ke was sitting on the dragon throne in her imperial robe, her pretty face full of fatigue. It seemed that she was still a little uncomfortable with the life after inheriting the throne.
But as the daughter of Emperor Xue Ye and one of the few direct descendants of the royal family, she had to do so.
It's impossible to just leave it alone and let the Tiandou Empire decline or even be destroyed, right?
"Master Ning, is Lord Lin really as important as you say?"
While waiting, Xue Ke couldn't help but ask softly.
Ning Fengzhi, who was sitting below, chuckled and nodded, "Your Majesty, Marquis Lin Chuan is the most talented spirit master I have ever seen. He teamed up with His Majesty Poison Douluo to defeat six Titled Douluos from the Spirit Hall. Even the former Clear Sky Douluo could not compare to him."
"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne. Even with the support of Marshal Ge Long, his foundation is still unstable. Therefore, winning more support from others is undoubtedly the most important thing. Marquis Lin Chuan is not only powerful, but also a powerful noble. The most important thing is that he will definitely become a Super Douluo in the future."
"If we can get his support, it will be a great help in stabilizing the empire's rule and preventing the invasion of the Spirit Hall."
After hearing such a detailed explanation, Xue Ke probably understood it in her heart.
The girl clenched her fists slightly and silently cheered herself up.
"Your Majesty, Lord Lin Chuan has arrived!"
An eunuch suddenly reported.
Xue Ke took a deep breath and pretended to be calm, "Let Lord Lin come in!"
The eunuch quickly agreed, turned around and hurried on to pass on Xue Ke's order.
After a while, there was a steady and powerful sound of footsteps outside the door. Lin Chuan was not stopped by anyone and walked all the way to Xue Ke and Ning Fengzhi.
Lin Chuan glanced at Ning Fengzhi and was not surprised that he was here.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Empress, and to Sect Master Ning!"
