"Wait, Old Poison, according to you, Xue Qinghe should have returned from Spirit City by now. Surely His Crown Prince Your Highness can't be remotely directing a palace coup that concerns the fate of an empire from thousands of miles away."
Yu Tianmeng stroked her smooth, delicate chin, raised an eyebrow, and guessed.
"This..."
Dugu Bo hesitated for a moment, then said, "I really don't know. I haven't seen Xue Qinghe in the palace these past few days."
"That's troublesome."
Yu Tianmeng frowned slightly and said, "To strike a snake, strike its vital spot; to capture a thief, capture the king first. If we want to eliminate the rebels, we must first find Xue Qinghe's location! Otherwise, what's the use of even breaking into the palace?"
"It's useful! Sister Tian Meng, even if we can't find Xue Qinghe, we can still save His Majesty the Emperor first! My mother is a Title Douluo with healing abilities..."
Ye Lingling, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up.
However, upon hearing this, Dugu Bo gave a bitter smile and shook his head, saying, "Ling Ling, your mother has already entered the palace to treat Xue Ye once, but it had no effect. After all, Xue Ye was poisoned, not injured!"
"That..."
Hearing that even her Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul couldn't heal certain things, Ye Lingling felt instantly dejected.
But then, as if suddenly remembering something, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Yu Tianmeng, saying loudly, "Sister Tian Meng, I remember you have a kind of Biluo Pill that's specially used to detoxify, right? That kind of pill can even easily neutralize the Seven-Colored Flowing Light Poison of the Yan Zi."
"Yes, the Scorpion Azure Sky Pill should be effective."
A sweet voice rang out, and then Dugu Yan pushed open the door and entered, affectionately taking Dugu Bo's arm and telling her grandfather about the Biluo Dan.
More than a year ago, when Zhou Chen was still unconscious, Dugu Yan used her Fifth Soul Skill as a basis and combined it with the Heavenly Nether Poison Classic to create a strange poison - the Seven-Colored Flowing Light Poison.
This poison is even more potent than Dugu Bo's Jade Scale Serpent Emperor Poison, capable of incapacitating even a Title Douluo.
So much so that when Dugu Yan competed against Hu Liena in Spirit City, she didn't dare use this poison, for fear of knocking out Hu Liena, one of her harem sisters.
The reason Dugu Yan was so cautious was simply because a few years ago, when she had just created the Seven-Colored Flowing Light Poison, she had accidentally used it recklessly once and almost poisoned Ye Lingling, who was her sparring partner, to death.
Fortunately, Yu Tianmeng, who was in charge of the harem at the time, remembered that her Check-in System had once rewarded her with a bottle of Biluo Pill, which could cure all poisons, and thus pulled Ye Lingling back from the brink of death.
Therefore, both Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan had a strong memory of this elixir.
Upon hearing Ye Lingling's words and those of his granddaughter, Dugu Bo immediately looked at Yu Tianmeng and said, "Tian Meng, do you really have such a pill...?"
As a guest minister of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, Dugu Bo had a deep relationship with the royal family and naturally hoped to save Xue Ye's life.
Moreover, if Xue Ye, who has ruled the Heaven Dou Empire for more than 30 years, could be restored, with his powerful prestige, the Imperial Guards, the City Garrison, and those Soul Master belonging to the royal family would surely obey Xue Ye's orders, and would not obey the young Xue Qinghe.
At that time, wouldn't dealing with Xue Qinghe be a piece of cake?
However, Yu Tianmeng immediately shook her head, her smile bright but insincere, and said stiffly, "I'm sorry, there was only one Azure Sky Pill, and it's already been used by Ling Ling."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's heart skipped a beat. The old man was over seventy years old; what kind of situation hadn't he seen? Yu Tianmeng's answer was clearly an excuse.
This girl seems to be deliberately trying to avoid saving Xue Ye's life!
Dugu Bo guessed correctly.
Of course, there was more than one pill. In fact, Yu Tianmeng had an entire bottle of Azure Sky Pills!
But Yu Tianmeng had no intention of saving Xue Ye's life!
Because the life and death of Xue Ye are crucial to the Purple Micro Palace's next plans! Their plans to conquer two great empires and dominate the Douluo!
Only with the death of Xue Ye can this massive plan, personally orchestrated by Yu Tianmeng, continue to move forward.
Not only will Xue Ye die, but Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng should also die quickly in this palace coup.
Because these two, uncle and nephew, are also an obstacle to this plan!
Thinking of this, a murderous glint suddenly flashed in Yu Tianmeng's eyes, and she silently muttered to herself:
Qian Renxue, you'd better be ruthless. It would be best to wipe out Xue Ye, Xue Xing Xue Beng, so that our Purple Micro Palace can have room to develop!
As if sensing the murderous intent surging in Yu Tianmeng's heart, Dugu Bo suddenly shivered and dared not mention the Biluo Pill again. He involuntarily lowered his head.
What is this girl thinking?!
Dugu Bo's sudden silence made Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling feel that something was wrong.
However, even with their political acumen and cunning, they couldn't fathom the intricacies of the situation.
"Wait a minute."
In the eerie silence, Ye Lingling suddenly exclaimed, "If Xue Qinghe rebels, wouldn't our Ye Residence be in great danger? What if Xue Qinghe gathers the imperial army to besiege the Ye Residence?"
After a pause, Ye Lingling looked at Yu Tianmeng, clasped her hands together in a pleading manner, and said, "Sister Tian Meng, please quickly bring people to rescue our Ye Residence!"
"Don't worry, Ling Ling."
Seeing Ye Lingling's anxious appearance, Yu Tianmeng quickly comforted her, "I just sent a telepathic message to send a Title Douluo- level elder to the Ye Residence for reinforcements."
"Not only that, I just sent a telepathic message to Rong Rong, instructing her to lead the Yu Heng Guard, one of the Big Dipper Seven Guards, under the command of the Yu Heng Guard, and accompanied by the Azure Dragon Douluo Lin Yang, to her family's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Clearing her throat, Yu Tianmeng said in a deep voice, "After all, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo are in Spirit City, while only Bone Douluo, a Title Douluo, is currently in charge of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Fort, which is inevitably outnumbered and isolated."
"As for the Black Tortoise Family and the Meng Family, I have also dispatched two of the Big Dipper Seven Guards, the Tian Shu Guard and the Kai Yang Guard, to garrison them, to prevent them from being attacked by the traitors under Xue Qinghe's command!"
Hearing Yu Tianmeng's well-organized arrangements, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling breathed a sigh of relief, while Dugu Bo remained as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
After all, the old man came here with the intention of having Yu Tianmeng gather powerful warriors to storm the palace and eliminate the rebels.
Seeing Dugu Bo sweating profusely with anxiety, Yu Tianmeng couldn't keep ignoring this Poison Douluo any longer. After all, Dugu Bo was not only a retainer of the Purple Micro Palace, but also Dugu Yan's grandfather.
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, Yu Tianmeng turned to Dugu Bo and said, "Senior Dugu, please wait a moment and give me some time to gather the experts from the Purple Micro Palace and Shrek Academy before we go to the palace, how about that?"
"That's excellent!"
Upon hearing Yu Tianmeng's agreement, Dugu Bo was so excited that he almost burst into tears.
But just then, the door was pushed open again, and a stunningly beautiful noblewoman dressed in a silver palace gown barged in. She was none other than Tang Yuehua, the current Great Elder of the Clear Sky Sect!
Tang Yuehua looked at Yu Tianmeng with a panicked expression, and without even greeting her, anxiously said, "Tian Meng, I've heard news that Xue Qinghe has rebelled, but Princess Xue Ke is still in the palace!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianmeng's purple pupils immediately contracted!
"Holy crap! I forgot about Xue Ke!"
Yu Tianmeng's words stunned everyone present, and Tang Yuehua almost collapsed.
Xue Ke is a grown woman, how could you forget her? Could it be that your jealousy has gotten the better of you again, and you're deliberately trying to see her die?
That's unfair to Yu Tianmeng. She definitely didn't want to kill Xue Ke; she had simply forgotten about Xue Ke!
After all, Xue Ke was the most crucial person in her plan, and absolutely could not die! No matter what, she would never intentionally harm Xue Ke!
"We can't wait any longer! Hurry, let's lead the level 70 Soul Saint and above to the palace to rescue Xue Ke!"
Yu Tianmeng was so anxious that she jumped up and down, lifted her long skirt, and rushed out of the room.
Dugu Bo flashed forward and quickly followed.
Seeing this, Tang Yuehua immediately chased after them, saying in a deep voice, "I brought an elder and fifty disciples of the Clear Sky Sect with me to Heaven Dou City this time. I'll have them go to the palace with you!"
"Good!"
Yu Tianmeng responded without turning her head; time was of the essence, and she had to rescue Xue Ke immediately.
Xue Ke, you must hold on! I hope your husband's strength in staying by your side to protect you is enough to delay us until we arrive!
At the same time.
Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Swan Palace.
Swan Palace is the bedroom of Xue Ye, who lay unconscious in this palace.
At this moment, outside the gates of the Swan Palace.
Fifty Royal Guards, clad entirely in Heaven Dou Bright Silver Armor and wielding spears, blocked the path of a young woman dressed in a white-gold palace gown.
The girl was none other than Xue Ke, the princess of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Her neck was long and fair, like Swan's; her skin was fair, smooth, and flawless; her golden hair was neatly draped over her shoulders; and her clear blue eyes were almost bottomless.
Now, she is more beautiful than before, and has lost some of her youthful naiveté.
Most importantly, she, who was originally gentle and weak, has become much stronger, and her every move exudes royal demeanor.
Half an hour ago, she learned that her father had suddenly fallen into a coma, so she rushed to the Swan Palace to visit him, but she was stopped by a group of Royal Guards.
Moreover, no matter how Xue Ke argued with these guards, it was useless!
This infuriated Xue Ke!
How long are you going to stop me?
Xue Ke's originally fair face flushed red with anger. She coldly said, "I am a princess of the Heaven Dou Empire, the legitimate daughter of my father. I want to see my father, and you have no right to stop me! Get out of my way, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Xue Ke's threatening words had no effect. The leading soldier captain remained indifferent, saying, "Your Princess Hall, His Crown Prince Your Highness has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the palace to disturb His Majesty. Anyone who disobeys will be executed without exception!"
"Kill without mercy?"
Xue Ke was stunned for a moment, then said incredulously, "I am an imperial princess, does my crown prince brother also intend to kill me?"
Upon hearing this, the captain of the imperial guards remained expressionless, neither answering Xue Ke's question nor making any move aside.
The behavior of these guards made Xue Ke's heart sink.
Narrowing her eyes, Xue Ke suddenly realized that these guards were all unfamiliar faces; she had never seen them before.
Moreover, thanks to the God Crystal and various elixirs from the Purple Micro Palace, Xue Ke is now a level 57 Soul King. Although she lacks practical combat experience, she still has a broad perspective.
She could clearly sense the faint fluctuations of Soul Power emanating from these guards, indicating that their strength was no less than level 50.
These are a full fifty experts at the Soul King or above!
No, no, these people aren't the Royal Guards!
Xue Ke's expression changed, and then she hurriedly turned around and left the Swan Palace.
Once Xue Ke was more than a thousand meters away from the "Royal Guards," she gritted her teeth, and a small cylinder appeared in her hand from the flash of light on the Space Bracelet on her wrist.
With a swift movement, a purple light shot into the sky accompanied by a piercing shriek!
"Boom!"
A tremendous roar resounded, and the brilliant Big Dipper constellation soared thousands of meters into the sky!
Those seven stars were so lifelike, blooming brilliantly at the top of the sky, transforming into a sky full of dazzling purple light!
In an instant, the entire sky nearby was dyed a stunning purple, extremely beautiful and dazzling, like the Milky Way!
This is Big Dipper Token!
Upon seeing the signal fireworks rising into the sky and the sky turning purple, the "Royal Guards" standing guard outside the Swan Palace immediately paled!
"Oh no, Xue Ke is suspicious. She's summoning a powerful figure from the Purple Micro Palace!"
"Two squads of guards are stationed in her palace; they'll probably be here soon!"
"Capture her before she gets too far, then report to the young master!"
The "Royal Guards" chatted amongst themselves, and then, led by their captain, they quickly gave chase to Xue Ke, who was running away!
A kilometer's distance is covered in the blink of an eye.
Although Xue Ke possessed the Swan Spirit and could fly, she didn't fly very far before being stopped by these fifty "Royal Guards."
"Take him down! Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!!"
The captain of the "Royal Guards" at the head of the group said menacingly.
However, at that moment, a dark green vine suddenly shot out from a distance, instantly wrapping around Xue Ke's slender waist and pulling her far away, rescuing her from the hands of the "Royal Guards"!
"That's the Azure Vine Martial Soul!"
"A Royal Guards recognized the dark green vines said through gritted teeth."
Before she could finish speaking, a woman in a green dress with a graceful figure pulled Princess Xue Ke into her arms.
"Your Princess Hall, are you alright?"
"I can't help it," the woman in the green dress asked with concern.
"No."
Xue Ke shook her head, smiled gratefully, then pointed at the group of "Royal Guards" and said urgently, "Zhi Xin, these people are not Royal Guards at all! Father is in danger! They want to kill me!"
"Princess, rest assured, the Tian Xuan Guard will protect you with their lives!"
The woman in the green dress replied Zhi Xin!
As the granddaughter of Zhilin, the Soul Douluo of Azure Vine Zhi Lin, one of the Three Great Education Committee Members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Zhi Xin has always been loyal to the royal family since childhood.
Upon hearing that Princess Xue Ke had almost been killed, Zhi Xin was instantly enraged.
With a wave of her hand, she shouted sharply, "Where are the Tian Xuan Guard and Yao Guang Guard? Follow me to slay the traitors!"
