Early Court Turmoil, One Sword Breaks the Sea

"Snort!"

After hearing Physician Zhao's words, Sea Illusion Douluo snorted disdainfully, and his imposing aura instantly forced the pitiful healing-type Soul Emperor back several steps.

"Your Sea Illusion, what is the meaning of this?!"

All the civil and military officials narrowed their eyes. "Xue Qinghe" stood up abruptly and asked in a somewhat unfriendly tone.

"Hmph, who knows if it was you, you villain, who tampered with His Majesty!"

Sea Illusion Douluo spoke in an interrogative tone.

"Your Sea Illusion, this statement is somewhat biased..."

Xue Qinghe and Su He were about to retort when, unexpectedly, the old fox Ning Fengzhi cut them off first.

"Xue Qinghe is my student, and I've watched him grow up step by step. I know his character, and I believe that all of you officials in the Heaven Dou Empire have seen how he has handled government affairs over the years."

"Your Excellency's opening statement is that Xue Qinghe disregarded human ethics and committed heinous acts; isn't that going a bit too far?"

Ning Fengzhi narrowed his eyes, his tone gradually hardening.

"Who are you?" Sea Illusion Douluo glanced at Ning Fengzhi sideways. He couldn't sense the strength of Sword Douluo Chen Xin behind Ning Fengzhi, so he planned to use the same trick again and use his Soul Power pressure to attack Ning Fengzhi.

"Hmph, how dare you!"

But then the white-haired old man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes behind Ning Fengzhi snorted coldly. His aura suddenly froze, breaking through the oppressive aura of Sea Illusion Douluo like a sharp sword, causing him to take three steps back.

"I forgot to introduce you, Sea Illusion. My Teacher is the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and this gentleman beside me is indeed Sword Douluo."

"Xue Qinghe" delivered the finishing blow at the opportune moment.

"It's actually the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I was truly blind."

Sea Illusion Douluo said.

"Prince Xue Xing was the successor designated by the Lord Sea God, yet he was assassinated in this small Heaven Dou City."

"The biggest beneficiary is probably His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"The assassin from yesterday was extremely powerful, and his arrows were incredibly penetrating. I was unable to stop him without being fully prepared, as evidenced by the wound on my shoulder."

"The assassin's strength must be at least level 85 or higher."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is probably one of the entities that should be suspected!"

"You!"

"Your Sea Illusion, you really are making yourself out to be a judge on the spot!"

Xue Qinghe spoke, and unlike his previous gentle voice, this time his voice was powerful and unquestionable.

"I deeply regret Uncle Xue Xing's assassination, and I will do everything in my power to find the murderer. But you still want to smear my father's body. This is intolerable!"

"Since that's the case, then I will..."

"I, Xue Qinghe, dare to swear to the Heavenly Dao that if I harbor any ill will towards my father, may the Heavenly Dao not tolerate me, may my Martial Soul be shattered, may I be scorned by everyone, and may I die a horrible death!"

Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials present, including Seahorse Douluo and Sea Illusion Douluo, were shocked. With such a poisonous Heavenly Dao Oath as proof, even if the two Douluo from Sea God Island wanted to "argue" something, it would seem too pale and powerless.

The Heavenly Dao Oath that Qian Renxue used was actually the same as Su He's oath of loyalty to the Crown Prince at the court assembly. To put it bluntly, it was a word game that no one could have imagined.

Su He made Heavenly Dao Oath to be loyal to the Crown Prince. The real Crown Prince is dead, and the fake Crown Prince is played by his wife. Therefore, there is no possibility of breaking the oath.

Similarly, Qian Renxue's father was not the dying old man Xue Ye, but the former Pope, the deceased Qian Xunji. Qian Renxue truly respected and loved her father and never harbored any ill intentions. Therefore, her Heavenly Dao Oath was legitimate and true to her conscience, and she would naturally not be punished by Heaven.

Even the astute Ning Fengzhi didn't realize that the Crown Prince had been replaced, and that Princess Xue Ke was the only remaining bloodline of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.

While these people are stuck in the logical loop that the Crown Prince is not the real Crown Prince, Qian Renxue's oath to the Heavenly Dao Oath against her father is naturally unshakable and no one will doubt it. Even though the two Titled Douluo of Sea God Island hate "Xue Qinghe" to the core, they can only swallow their anger.

"Your His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deeply gracious!"

It's unclear who started it, but the situation spiraled completely out of control afterward.

"Your His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deeply gracious!"

"Your His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deeply gracious!"

"Your His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deeply gracious!"

Xue Qinghe stood up and, under the stern faces and resentful gazes of the two Titled Douluo from Sea God Island, bowed deeply to the civil and military officials.

"I have found the most skilled doctor in the Douluo Continent to diagnose Father Emperor. Before Father Emperor wakes up, Qinghe will still be in control of the Xue Qinghe."

"Xue Qinghe is unworthy and lacks ability, so I hope you will all give me your guidance and help!"

"We will certainly do our utmost to assist His Highness the His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Wait! You dare to disregard the Lord Sea God's decree? Do you intend to become enemies of Sea God Island?"

Seahorse Douluo, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke up with a cold shout, interrupting the dramatic exchange between the ruler and his subject.

"Your Majesty, when did the Lord Sea God develop the habit of interfering in the internal affairs of the continental kingdoms?"

Su He, who was standing next to Qian Renxue, asked.

"Gods are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the mortal realm. This is a divine decree personally spoken by the Angel God the Spirit Hall. Is Sea God Island trying to expand its ambitions onto the mainland through these actions?"

"If that's the case, my Heaven Dou Empire admits it's no match for Sea God Island, and we'll have no choice but to seek help from the Spirit Hall!"

Su He's words were forceful and clear, leaving Seahorse Douluo speechless. He could only grit his teeth and grit his teeth in impotent rage.

"You little brat, hasn't anyone taught you manners?!"

The majestic aura was imbued with the spirit of the ocean; Su He's bangs were blown up, but her figure remained perfectly still.

"Bullying the weak, is this the skill of Sea God Island?!"

One sword, cleaves the sea!

Sword Douluo Chen Xin had once tested the young Su He with his aura and greatly admired this junior, so he immediately stood in front of Su He to protect her.

His aura was like a sharp sword, unstoppable. Even though there were two Titled Douluo in the Sea God Island team, they instinctively wanted to avoid his sharp edge and dared not say a word.

"We will certainly report the truth to the Great Priest!"

Seeing that there was no way to turn the tide today, the two Douluo could only flick their embroidered robes, utter a harsh word, and leave angrily. Only the civil and military officials were left looking respectfully at Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, who was sitting below the Dragon Throne.

Just as Xue Qinghe was about to thank Sword Douluo Chen Xin for his help, a eunuch from the palace disregarded etiquette and barged into the morning court.

"Urgent report! Your His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty... seems to be dying!"
