Seizing Power Begins!

Hearing this, Snake Lance and Pufferfish Douluo's eyes instantly reddened.

That damn Bibi Dong truly deserved to die. No matter what, this was her own child!

Yet Bibi Dong had actually disregarded their familial bond and sent her own child into such a perilous den!

Poor Qian Renxue. The young mistress of Spirit Hall, an unparalleled genius with Innate Full Soul Power of level twenty, had been forced to live a life of bloodshed on the blade's edge.

Qian Renchu pulled Qian Renxue into his arms. "I'm sorry, my little Xue. Your brother has made you suffer. Now that Bibi Dong's soul has been sealed, give up this plan and come home with me!"

Qian Renxue's pupils trembled, but she quickly shook her head. "No, Brother, I still can't go back. Even if Bibi Dong is gone, I've carried out this plan for more than ten years. It's about to succeed. I can't give up."

"Then I'll help you kill Xue Ye! I'll help you seize the Heaven Dou throne. That would be better than letting you suffer here." Qian Renchu's gaze turned cold.

"No." Qian Renxue still shook her head, her voice gentle as water. "Brother, you're very powerful. I know you love me dearly too. But I chose this path myself, and I must walk it to the end. This is the oath I swore beneath the Angel Goddess Statue."

"So, Brother, whether it's Grandfather or you, please don't interfere with my plan, all right?"

An oath was faith itself.

Qian Renxue had sworn before the Angel Goddess, making it a faith that could not be altered in the slightest!

Therefore, she would not allow anyone to intervene in her plan. Even Snake Lance and Pufferfish Douluo were only here to protect her in secret.

Otherwise, Qian Renxue could have simply asked her grandfather to act and complete this plan for her.

Qian Renchu had long known this. He also knew that his younger sister was an incredibly stubborn person.

With a mother like Bibi Dong, she was stronger and more competitive than anyone else on the inside, despite being a woman.

What a pity, little sister. I must intervene, Qian Renchu thought.

Qian Renxue had her own ideas and insisted on completing the Heaven Dou Empire infiltration plan alone.

But Qian Renchu had his own ideas as well.

He felt that he owed this younger sister far too much, and he had to make it up to her.

He would no longer allow Qian Renxue to become trapped in the vortex of this plan with no way out!

"Young Mistress, Your Holiness, this is bad!" At that moment, a Spirit Hall shadow guard rushed into the courtyard in panic. "The outside has been surrounded by the Imperial Guard Knights!"

"The Imperial Guard Knights?" Qian Renxue was greatly startled. "What happened? Why would the Imperial Guard Knights come to the Eastern Palace?"

"According to word from our informants, His Holiness killed Dugu Bo, a guest advisor of the Heaven Dou Empire, and they suspect that Spirit Hall destroyed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Xue Ye is furious and wants to arrest His Holiness to demand an explanation!" the Spirit Hall soul master said.

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue and the other two all looked toward Qian Renchu.

"Brother, how did you get in?" Qian Renxue asked suspiciously.

"I walked in."

"This is bad!" Qian Renxue's expression changed slightly. "Outside the Crown Prince's Residence are all of Xue Ye and Prince Xue Xing's spies. Brother, you must have been discovered!"

Of course Qian Renchu would not have been discovered.

As long as he wished it, no one could possibly discover him.

Even as he entered the imperial palace, he had already learned the layout of every guard and spy.

However, before coming to the Tian Dou Imperial Palace, he had already prepared everything. No matter what, he would intervene in Qian Renxue's plan.

Thus, he had deliberately exposed his tracks so that Xue Ye would grow suspicious of Qian Renxue!

"Little Xue, then what should we do?" Qian Renchu pretended to be startled. "How about I go out and surrender?"

"No!" Qian Renxue shook her head. "Uncle Pufferfish, Uncle Snake Lance, immediately gather all our people and prepare to break out!"

"Break out?" To be honest, Qian Renchu showed a hint of surprise. "Little Xue, if you do that, won't your plan be ruined?"

"So what!" Qian Renxue replied resolutely. "No matter what, I can't possibly hand you over, Brother, unless I die!"

"If the plan fails, then it fails. As long as you're safe, Brother, Little Xue will have no regrets!"

In Qian Renxue's heart, breaking out meant the failure of the plan.

But compared to her brother Qian Renchu, even her own death did not matter, much less a mere plan she had laid out for over a decade!

Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Qian Renchu felt not only comforted, but deeply moved.

At the same time, his resolve to protect Qian Renxue became even firmer.

Moreover, he decided that afterward, he would tell Qian Renxue about his own plan. Since she was so sincere with him,

he would naturally be honest with her as well!

"Little Xue, there's no need to break out." Qian Renchu gave a cold smile. "Tell me, if I forcibly kill Xue Ye, how certain are you of successfully seizing power?"

Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment before replying, "Sixty percent!"

"And if I kill the entire Imperial Guard as well?"

"...Eighty percent!"

"That's enough!"

At this moment.

Outside the Crown Prince's Residence.

Ten thousand royal guard knights and two thousand Imperial Guard soul masters had surrounded the place three layers deep inside and three layers deep outside, sealing it off completely!

Leading them was none other than the commander of the Imperial Guard Knights, Rogerson.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Rogerson's voice, amplified by Soul Power, rang out. "His Majesty commands you to immediately hand over Qian Renchu, the Pope of Spirit Hall. Otherwise, we will storm the residence and kill without mercy!"

As the commander of the Imperial Guard Knights, Rogerson was truly furious.

The crown prince of a nation, the heir to its throne, had actually colluded with the Pope of Spirit Hall!

Where was the dignity of the nation?

Yet the vast Crown Prince's Residence gave no response whatsoever, which only made Rogerson even more enraged and humiliated.

"Fire!" With Rogerson's order, the Imperial Guard Knights drew their bows and nocked arrows, lighting the arrowheads with flames before firing them toward the Crown Prince's Residence.

In an instant, flaming arrows flew through the air, raining down crazily upon the Crown Prince's Residence.

Roar!

At that moment, a dragon's roar that resounded through the heavens erupted.

From within the Crown Prince's Residence, endless black dragons surged forth.

Every flaming arrow was crushed into ashes by the black dragons at that moment.

Immediately afterward, four figures flew out from the Crown Prince's Residence.

The leader wore black robes that billowed in the wind. From his eyes and his entire body radiated supreme destructive energy, as though an ancient god of slaughter had descended upon the world.

The pressure he released forced every royal guard knight and Imperial Guard knight to fall to their knees involuntarily.

"Who are you?" Rogerson gritted his teeth. He refused to kneel before Qian Renchu, but the Soul Power emanating from Qian Renchu was simply too overwhelming.

Qian Renchu remained silent. The next moment, endless Destruction Power surged wildly from his body, flooding across the entire Crown Prince's Residence and even covering the Tian Dou Imperial Palace within a radius of ten miles!
