The next afternoon.
Moonlight Pavilion, which was supposed to be bustling with traffic and a steady stream of aristocratic students, turned out to be deserted in the surrounding streets.
Although under the banner of "traveling incognito" and "listening to music and drinking tea", as the supreme ruler of the Heaven Dou Empire, how could Xue Ye's security work really be as sloppy as that of an ordinary old man walking around.
As early as dawn, hundreds of elite Soul Master secretly raised by the Heaven Dou Imperial Family had already disguised themselves as various identities and one after another penetrated into the shops, teahouses, and even some inconspicuous residences around the Moonlight Pavilion.
The entire area seems calm, but in fact it has been built like a metal bucket. Even a fly flying in has to go through layers of inspections.
It's time to apply in the afternoon.
A black carriage with a low-key appearance and no royal emblems, but an extremely spacious and comfortable interior, slowly stopped at the back door of the Moonlight Pavilion.
The car door opens.
The first person to come down was a tall old man with white beard and hair.
Although the old man is old, his back is as straight as a javelin.
He was wearing a suit of gray clothes that had been washed white, with a pair of falcon-like eyes shining brightly, and his whole body exuded an iron-blooded killing aura that had been tempered in the battlefield and the sea of blood in the mountains of corpses.
Immediately afterwards, a well-maintained hand was placed on the old man's arm. An old man wearing ordinary wealthy businessman's clothes, with a somewhat thin and haggard face, but with a kind of unruffled and self-respecting temperament that had been in a position of power for a long time, stepped out of the carriage.
It is Heaven Dou Empire's emperor--Xue Ye.
Moonlight Pavilion On the top floor, in the hidden elegant room.
Nan Feng was sitting boredly on the window sill, dangling his short legs, and through the gap in the curtains, he had a panoramic view of everything that happened at the back door.
"It's quite a grand occasion."
Nan Feng looked past Xue Ye and fell on the old man in gray.
"Ge Feng."
Nan Feng has seen this old man countless times in the Spirit Hall's top-secret files.
Heaven Dou Empire is currently the number one person in the military, level 85 Power Attack System Soul Douluo. His Martial Soul is the extremely rare and extremely bloodthirsty Ferocious Beast--Yaizu!
Not only that, Ge Feng's son Ge Long, who is only in his early thirties this year, is already a soul emperor in his sixties and is currently serving as the commander of the imperial army responsible for guarding the imperial city.
If nothing unexpected happens, when Ge Feng retires, Ge Long will naturally take over from his father and continue to lead Heaven Dou Empire's million-strong army.
This family can be said to be Heaven Dou Empire's veritable "general family".
Ever since their ancestors swore allegiance to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family hundreds of years ago, the Ge family has been firmly in control of the core affairs of the military.
Although they are ministers in name, because they control the empire's violent machinery and are absolutely loyal to the royal family, all generations of Heaven Dou Emperor have treated them with courtesy and favor.
"I have been favored by the emperor, and my family is full of loyalty..."
Moonlight Pavilion The reception started quickly according to the highest standards of etiquette.
Without any unnecessary greetings or notifications, under the personal guidance of Tang Yuehua, Xue Ye and the veteran Ge Feng, who had both white beard and hair, were invited to the most luxurious and most secluded private room on the top floor.
Nan Feng had already hidden his figure and aura at this moment, staying quietly in the darkness of the room, quietly looking at the supreme ruler Heaven Dou Empire.
In fact, many people have been deceived by Xue Ye's old and haggard appearance, which seems to be powerless.
In the Spirit Hall's file, the true cultivation level of His Majesty the Emperor is clearly recorded, Soul Douluo who is above level 80!
Although the "Swan" Martial Soul inherited by the Heaven Dou Imperial Family is not outstanding in terms of aggressiveness, and can even be described as weak, but as the top dignitary Martial Soul that has been passed down for countless generations, its quality is definitely not low.
As long as the descendants of the royal family are Martial Soul Awakening and Innate Soul Power, they are basically at level five or above.
In addition, Heaven Dou Imperial Family has the huge resources of the entire empire, and can consume all kinds of natural treasures, elixirs and elixirs just like Sugar Bean.
Heaven Dou Emperor in the past, even a pig, the most rubbish, can be piled up to the Soul Saint level by royal resources. For those with a little talent and understanding, it is completely normal to reach the Soul Douluo level.
However, this kind of Soul Master, which is "fed" purely by the treasures of heaven, materials and earth, and Mimicry Cultivation Environment, has almost zero actual combat ability.
The emperor, a purely political creature, stayed aloof all his life, and was protected by heavy troops and top experts whenever he came in and out. There was almost no chance of actual combat that required them to fight in person.
To put it bluntly, Xue Ye's cultivation level of Soul Douluo's is just a "show" that is of no use.
If they really entered the ring, they would definitely be vulnerable to Soul Douluo and Xue Ye, the actual combatants of the same level. They would be pinned to the ground and rubbed against each other every minute.
Of course, the show is just a show, and that is the genuine Soul Douluo, with basic physical fitness and Soul Power values displayed there.
What's more, Heaven Dou Imperial Family's "Swan" Martial Soul possesses extremely pure light properties.
The biggest feature of Martial Soul, which has light attributes, is its amazing defense power, excellent auxiliary effect, and powerful recovery power that is difficult for ordinary people to match.
This is also the reason why Heaven Dou Emperor in the past dynasties could still live relatively long lives despite working day and night on state affairs and even overindulging in sex.
Therefore, no matter how powerful Xue Ye is in combat, if an assassin really wants to assassinate him in a sudden move, it will definitely not be easy to succeed.
In the elegant room, precious agarwood curled up from the bronze tripod.
Tang Yuehua sat behind the bead curtain and put his hands on the famous piano. Soon, a clear and sweet piano sound like mountain water flowed through the room.
Xue Ye was sitting in the main seat, eyes half-closed, fingers gently tapping on his thighs. Veteran Ge Feng stood behind Xue Ye like an iron tower, his falcon-like eyes scanning every corner of the room vigilantly.
Both of them seemed to be listening to the music quietly and cultivating their sentiments.
But in fact, whether it is Xue Ye or Ge Feng, it is absolutely impossible that this private tour is really just to come to the Moonlight Pavilion to listen to music and relax.
Tang Yuehua suddenly took the initiative to send someone to contact the palace. This in itself is an extremely strong political signal.
According to usual practice, whenever Mrs. Yue takes the initiative to speak, it must be that Clear Sky Sect has some important action or appeal behind her back.
Xue Ye is, after all, the emperor who is in charge of a huge empire. He is not the kind of idiot who can't walk when he sees a stunning beauty and only knows how to bump into women.
The current situation in the world can be said to be in turmoil.
Spirit Hall's power is at its peak, overwhelming the two empires, and the delicate balance that Soul Master World has maintained for hundreds of years has been completely broken.
At this critical moment of survival, has Clear Sky Sect, who was once the leader of Upper Three Sects, "sincerely" surrendered to the Spirit Hall as they claimed to the outside world? Or is this just a delaying tactic used by Tang Xiao to protect the sect?
This is crucial to the Heaven Dou Empire's future strategic layout.
He left the heavy government affairs behind and made the trip in person today. What he cared about most was not the famous song at all, but the true attitude behind Tang Yuehua, the whole Clear Sky Sect!
The song ends, and the lingering sound lingers, Jiujiu.
Tang Yuehua gently pressed his hands on the strings, calmed his breathing, and then walked out from behind the bead curtain, came to the round table in the private room, and sat down dignifiedly opposite Xue Ye.
"Mrs. Yue's piano skills are truly superb, even better than in the past. Even the royal musicians in the palace cannot match this level of celestial music."
Xue Ye opened his eyes, smiled and stroked his beard, and first gave him the usual polite compliments.
"Your Majesty is so complimentary. Yuehua just fiddled with it a few times. I'm lucky to have gotten into His Majesty's ears."
Tang Yuehua lowered his head slightly and responded appropriately.
After the courtesy, the atmosphere in the room gradually became a little solemn. Xue Ye suppressed the smile on his face, a glimmer of light flashed in his seemingly cloudy eyes, and he got straight to the point:
"Mrs. Yue specially invited me out of the palace today. It must not be just for me to appreciate the peerless music, right? But Clear Sky Sect... is there anything you want me to convey to you?"
Tang Yuehua took a deep breath, followed the plan that had been rehearsed in his mind, and did not choose to hide it, and said softly:
"Back to Your Majesty, it is indeed my brother who asked me to bring you a message. Clear Sky Sect The current situation... is very Bu Le impressive."
Xue Ye frowned slightly and leaned forward slightly:
"Oh? How do you say this? Hasn't Tang Xiao, the sect master, now ranked Spirit Hall Elder Hall, and Clear Sky Sect has also recovered his vitality and rejoined the world?"
