Shadow Soldier Legion, Heaven Dou in Fear
The efficiency of the Black Shadow Soldier can be described as exceptionally high!
In other words, there are things that Zhu Zhuqing herself would subconsciously ignore, but the Black Shadow Soldier could notice.
If we were to say which place in the entire Heaven Dou Empire has the most wronged souls and vengeful women.
It's estimated that Heaven Dou City would be the best choice.
Here lies the brightest future, and also the darkest darkness.
Because Zhu Zhuqing only needed the souls of ordinary people, the Black Shadow Soldier collected the required souls in less than a day.
But the price was the slaughter of countless nobles and merchants throughout the entire Heaven Dou Imperial City.
The Black Shadow Soldier could find dozens of ordinary, beautiful women who had lost hope in the world just from one auction house.
On this day, the Black Shadow Soldier committed a brutal massacre in the Heaven Dou Imperial City.
Almost everyone who sells their soul seeks revenge against those who dragged them into this hellhole.
And that's how this scene came about.
Some spoiled brats walk down the street, but the next moment their heads suddenly fall to the ground.
It happened so fast that no one saw what was happening.
This horrific scene still caused panic among the people in Heaven Dou City, especially the nobles. As one family after another of the wicked nobles were executed, even some nobles who usually did nothing wrong fell into panic.
After the Xue Ye ordered the city gates to be sealed, and everyone quickly returned to their residences.
Then a vast army took over everything in the city.
Even with an army every ten steps and a Soul Master every hundred steps, those evil Soul Master families still couldn't avoid being slaughtered.
Often, the soldiers only realized what had happened after the massacre was over.
As the day passed, at least half of the nobles of the Heaven Dou Imperial City had been slaughtered.
And the reason...
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the Shadow Soldier Legion kneeling before her and nodded slightly. At least it was starting to look somewhat respectable.
As for whether the Heaven Dou Empire is in chaos or not?
That has nothing to do with her.
All she has to do is find someone to make a soul deal with. In return, the person gives her their soul, and she fulfills their dying wish. It's fair!
As for those who died because of these wishes?
They have committed far too many evil deeds.
If they weren't so evil, these people wouldn't be willing to risk their lives to let them die.
If Heaven Dou City was bustling and prosperous just two days ago, then Heaven Dou Imperial City now resembles a dead city.
An uneasy atmosphere pervaded the entire city, with a strong sense of impending doom lingering throughout.
Every household kept their doors and windows tightly shut, fearing that their homes would also be slaughtered.
If the capital city was in such a state, the security in the palace was even more stringent. Heavily equipped palace guards surrounded the entire palace, and even the area where Xue Ye resided was guarded by countless experts.
Besides Xue Ye, many high-ranking officials were also looking around cautiously, fearing that another powerful figure might suddenly appear and kill them as well.
Report!
"Your Majesty, we haven't received any news of another tragedy for two hours!"
After undergoing rigorous inspection, a palace attendant prostrated himself fifty meters away from Xue Ye and reported the matter.
Call!
Upon hearing this news, someone quickly broke the silence, and a collective sigh of relief echoed throughout the hall.
"Your Majesty, judging from the previous behavior of that emperor, the other party should be targeting the domineering noble families. Moreover, judging from the fact that the killing has not stopped, the other party should have killed all the ringleaders by now."
This old minister dares to humbly request Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate those who were murdered and restore justice to the people!
An old minister scrambled to his feet and stepped forward.
He was genuinely terrified.
His family doesn't usually do anything good; it's normal for them to bully ordinary people, but it hasn't reached the point of disregarding human life.
But he certainly hasn't done anything good.
So he was always afraid that when the target family with a bad reputation was killed, he was genuinely afraid of being implicated.
But now it seems like it's over!
If I don't step up and show myself now, will I have any future opportunities?
If he performs well enough now, then his life will have been worthwhile.
"That's right, Your Majesty. Although that prince acted without restraint, he did not harm any civilians. Therefore, we urge Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate those who were beheaded and find out the cause of their deaths." This also serves as a reminder to us!
At this moment, another minister stepped forward.
They were terrified of being killed, so many nobles!
Although there were no elders at the Titled Douluo level, there were still Soul Douluo, but they were still killed silently. They had finally stopped killing, so what if they were to oppose her again and she killed even those who made minor mistakes?
Even now, in the palace, they still feel no sense of security whatsoever.
We really can't be stubborn anymore, or we'll all be killed!
Moreover, now that half the nobles are gone, they can take over their territories and businesses.
As long as they don't commit the same offense again, or rather, they don't get caught, then they are the biggest beneficiaries.
But if the matter is pursued too far in the Xue Ye, and it leads to another fight, wouldn't their safety also be compromised?
The most important point is that those families that were wiped out were people who bullied men and women in normal times. So, can we use them to make a fuss now?
For example, are all those who weren't massacred good people?
"Your Majesty, this is unacceptable!"
None of the ministers present were fools; they all knelt down on the ground in unison.
Seeing this scene on Xue Ye, Xue Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he was scared too. Although the palace was heavily guarded, it didn't give him any sense of security.
Titled Douluo with Dark Attribute —if someone wanted to assassinate him, unless he also had Titled Douluo protecting him closely, he would have no chance of surviving.
The thought of the Titled Douluo lessened Xue Ye's sadness about Xue Xing and Xue Beng's departure.
It was all because of those two scoundrels that Heaven Dou not only lost a Titled Douluo but also offended another one.
That's inhuman!
"Qinghe, what do you think?!"
Xue Ye is now mentally and physically exhausted, and is preparing to entrust the decision-making process to Xue Qinghe, the fake Crown Prince.
A hint of joy flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes.
Although it's unclear which Titled Douluo was behind it, it helped him eliminate a large number of weaklings, even weakening the Heaven Dou Kingdom. It would be a lie to say he wasn't happy.
Another point is that he is finally about to officially gain access to power.
"Imperial Father, the empire is really not going to withstand any more turmoil, but I don't think Your Majesty has any intention of killing innocent people indiscriminately."
Let's end things here.
He ordered all officials to report on themselves and to restrain their family members.
Perhaps this isn't such a bad thing after all!
After thinking for a moment, Xue Qinghe said that he would not mention a word about Xue Beng and Xue Xing.
What's the point of bringing it up now that the person is dead?
Instead of dwelling on the past, it's better to keep your family in check and prevent another massacre.
"Alright, you may go and make your decision. Court adjourned!"
After saying this, Xue Ye felt his Essence, Qi, Spirit dissipate, and he estimated that he wouldn't live much longer.
"Your Highness, we haven't found the person who committed this massacre. They were swift and ruthless, even Gui Mei is probably no match for them!"
The Crown Prince's Mansion!
"Spine Douluo."
She Long assists in protecting Xue Qinghe to prevent any unforeseen events, while Ci Xue searches for clues as much as possible.
But in the end, no clues were found.
"It's alright, they were all scoundrels who died anyway. It's good that they're dead, Heaven Dou City will be cleaner for a while!"
Xue Qinghe said nonchalantly.
"But... Your Highness, Salas has also been murdered!"
Although Ci Xue hesitated for a moment, he still reported the truth.
Salas was one of the few Soul Douluo to be killed.
"What did you say?"
Xue Qinghe's previously lazy expression vanished instantly, and he looked at Ci Xue.
This is Heaven Dou City, the location of the Saintess of the Spirit Hall. Since a high-ranking member of the Spirit Hall was killed for committing evil deeds.
"Your Highness, we never expected that Salas, who appears so glamorous on the surface, is so despicable behind the scenes!"
According to statistics, Salas has directly or indirectly caused the deaths of just over a hundred young girls over the years, but with those implicated, the number must be at least three hundred!
Ci Xue was practically burying his head in his crotch; right under their noses, his men had committed such a crime...
Hmph, hmph, hmph...
Xue Qinghe did not choose to doubt Ci Xue's words. He was now breathing rapidly, his chest was heaving violently, and his heart felt like it was about to jump out of his chest.
Bang!
He slammed his hand on the table, golden light flashing in Xue Qinghe's eyes. This matter must be thoroughly investigated.
If even the bishop of Heaven Dou City has become like this, then he simply cannot imagine what kind of persecution people in other regions would suffer!
