The scene returned to Heaven Dou City.
Inside the Crown Prince's residence, the situation was now extremely favorable. Qian Renxue's long-suppressed mood had also brightened considerably, like clouds parting to reveal the moon.
Most of the high-ranking nobles in Heaven Dou City who could argue with her in court had already been secretly eliminated by her. At this moment, apart from nominally not belonging to Spirit Hall, Heaven Dou City was, in reality, already almost under Spirit Hall's control.
Facing the throne that was within reach, Qian Renxue would be lying if she said she was not excited. She had lain low for more than a decade precisely for this day. Once the Heaven Dou Empire was in hand, Spirit Hall's strength would rise to another level. By then, unifying the continent would truly be only a matter of time.
Qing Luan Douluo emerged from the shadows behind her and said softly:
"Miss, all personnel are ready. Salas, the master of the Heaven Dou City Martial Soul Branch Hall, is currently in command. Once the operation begins, they will slaughter all the old-guard Heaven Dou nobles in Heaven Dou City and its surrounding areas, ensuring that not a single one survives..."
After a pause, Qing Luan Douluo continued:
"As for those nobles who stand on your side..."
The "you" here naturally referred to Qian Renxue's public identity as the Crown Prince.
Qian Renxue considered it for a moment before speaking softly.
"We'll discuss that later. Those people are typical cowards. So long as the benefits are sufficient, they can even betray their own country without reservation. Such people will still be of some use after we take over the Heaven Dou Empire. It won't be too late to deal with them once we have squeezed every last bit of use
