Purge the Traitors! Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect

I still relied on my brother, but why did it feel so good? Qian Renxue thought.

"Yes, Brother!" Thinking this, Qian Renxue nodded forcefully and looked at Pufferfish and Snake Lance Douluo. "Uncles, immediately gather all our people. Ring the Tian Dou Imperial Palace death knell and summon all Heaven Dou Empire ministers for an emergency assembly!"

"Yes!" Pufferfish and Snake Lance Douluo immediately accepted the order.

Qian Renchu stood with his hands behind his back and smiled faintly.

He had already cleared away the greatest obstacle for Qian Renxue. What came next depended on Qian Renxue herself.

Very soon, the Tian Dou Imperial Palace death knell rang throughout Heaven Dou City.

The residents of Heaven Dou City emerged from their shock and grief one after another, crying out mournfully toward the Tian Dou Imperial Palace and calling Xue Ye's name.

Because they all knew that the ringing of the death knell meant Xue Ye had passed away.

At this moment.

At the Strength Clan's residence.

"Father, how could Xue Ye suddenly pass away?" Tai Long asked his father, Tai Tan, with a look of shock.

"There can't have been any foul play. The Tian Dou Imperial Palace is guarded like an iron fortress. If Xue Ye's death was an accident, that would be utterly impossible."

"Life is unpredictable. Even emperors are no exception." Tai Tan sighed. "Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince is still here. The Heaven Dou Empire's power will not fall into another's hands!"

"Yes!"

Moonlight Pavilion.

A breathtakingly beautiful figure stood atop Moonlight Pavilion, her lovely eyes gazing toward the Tian Dou Imperial Palace.

"Xue Ye, you have finally gone." Tang Yuehua sighed softly.

"Prepare the carriage. I'm going to the Clear Sky Sect!"

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

In the rain.

Within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, a young figure wearing a cloak and holding a Heaven Dou Empire imperial decree hurried into the sect.

Yu Yuanzhen, the sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, immediately led the sect's elders out of the main hall and respectfully knelt before the visitor. "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Grandfather Yuanzhen, it's me!" The figure removed his hood, revealing an immature face.

"Fourth Prince!" Yu Yuanzhen and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect elders were all startled.

The newcomer was none other than Xue Beng, the fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Fourth Prince, why have you come to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect carrying an imperial decree?" Yu Yuanzhen asked doubtfully.

Xue Beng had always been stubborn and unteachable, and he had never visited the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect before. Yu Yuanzhen truly could not make sense of it.

"Grandfather Yuanzhen, Father has been murdered!" Xue Beng said through streaming tears. "I beg you, Grandfather Yuanzhen, save the Heaven Dou Empire from this crisis."

"What?!" Upon hearing this, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect elders froze. Even the normally composed Yu Yuanzhen was greatly shocked as he hurriedly asked, "What happened? Who killed His Majesty?"

"It was my eldest brother, Xue Qinghe." Xue Beng said in unbearable anguish.

"His Highness the Crown Prince?" Yu Yuanzhen was startled.

"Yes. Father was in robust health, yet Eldest Brother claimed that Father had died suddenly of an accident. Even Prince Xue Xing has vanished without a trace, yet Eldest Brother is in such a rush to ascend the throne. Anyone with eyes can see that Eldest Brother killed Father. I beg you, Grandfather Yuanzhen, seek justice for Father and reclaim the Heaven Dou Empire's throne!"

"His Majesty has treated me, Yu Yuanzhen, well! Moreover, this concerns the fate of the empire. How can I stand by and do nothing? Pass down my order: everyone in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect is to follow me into the palace!"

"Yes!"

At this moment.

Inside the court hall.

Bodies wrapped in straw mats were carried out of the hall by Heaven Dou Empire knights disguised as Spirit Hall guards.

Within the hall, the assembled ministers looked tremblingly at Qian Renxue on the imperial throne, as well as Pufferfish and Snake Lance Douluo standing to her left and right.

Along with the sudden appearance of so many unfamiliar imperial guards,

and those blood-soaked corpses.

Everyone knew that the deaths of Xue Ye and Prince Xue Xing were not simple. It was absolutely impossible that, as Qian Renxue claimed, Prince Xue Xing had rebelled and killed Xue Ye!

Xue Qinghe was most likely usurping the throne.

Yet, who among those able to enter this hall was not shrewd?

They understood best that the wise adapted to the times.

"My fellow ministers. Prince Xue Xing rebelled and murdered Father. He has already been executed. From this day onward, I ascend the throne as the new Emperor of Heaven Dou. Do any of you have objections?" Qian Renxue sat high upon the dragon throne, looking down upon the Heaven Dou Empire's ministers.

How could the ministers dare harbor even the slightest objection?

They all knelt and shouted in unison, "Your servants pay respects to Your Majesty! Long live our Emperor! Long live! Long live!"

Qian Renxue revealed a satisfied smile.

The feeling of sitting upon the imperial throne, overlooking the ministers and ruling the realm, was truly exquisite.

She had never expected to seize the Heaven Dou throne so quickly. All of this was thanks to her brother, Qian Renchu!

"Hold it! I object!" At that moment, a young man's forceful voice rang out.

Qian Renxue and the others looked toward the sound and saw a young figure walking in from outside the hall.

This person bore some resemblance to Xue Qinghe. He strode like a dragon and tiger, his expression resolute. It was none other than the fourth prince, Xue Beng.

"Fourth Prince!" The ministers were all startled upon seeing him.

Why was this playboy here?

At the same time, they were astonished. The Fourth Prince Xue Beng, who usually acted arrogant and domineering, seemed somewhat different today!

"Fourth Brother, what are you doing here?" Qian Renxue was also slightly surprised, but she quickly asked with a smile.

"Shut up!" Xue Beng said viciously. "You traitor who usurped the throne and murdered Father—how dare you call yourself my eldest brother?" Xue Beng said furiously.

"Fourth Brother, what are you talking about? Father was clearly killed by Xue Xing!" Qian Renxue's gaze turned cold.

"Hmph, stop trying to deceive everyone!" Xue Beng roared. "Uncle Xue Xing and Father were as close as brothers. You claim Uncle Xue Xing rebelled, but where is your evidence? Or rather, where are Uncle Xue Xing's and Father's bodies? And Eldest Brother, please explain where these two Title Douluo beside you came from!"

"Title Douluo?"

Upon hearing this, the ministers all looked toward Snake Lance and Pufferfish. The latter two had deliberately restrained their auras, so none of the ministers had realized that they were Title Douluo.

The Heaven Dou Empire had no Title Douluo,

so where had these two Title Douluo come from?

"How did you determine that they are Title Douluo?" Qian Renxue asked Xue Beng with an icy gaze.

"In the Heaven Dou Empire, apart from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, there are no Title Douluo." Xue Beng roared angrily. "Xue Qinghe, tell me, have you colluded with Spirit Hall?!"

All the ministers were dumbfounded.

Was this really the ignorant, incorrigible Fourth Prince Xue Beng?

Sure enough, Brother was right. This Xue Beng had been pretending to be a playboy all along! Qian Renxue thought. I should have gotten rid of him too!

Qian Renxue regretted it immensely.

However, after years of infiltration, Qian Renxue's character had long become as resilient as iron and stone. She quickly calmed down. "Xue Beng, I know Father's death has dealt you a severe blow."

"These two seniors are powerful experts Father secretly cultivated for the Heaven Dou Empire!"

Hearing this explanation, the ministers were half-convinced and half-doubtful.

The Heaven Dou Empire was vast, with hundreds of millions of people. Hiding two Title Douluo would not be difficult at all.

Most importantly, few people knew the true appearances of Spirit Hall elders.

"Furthermore, I am now the sovereign of the Heaven Dou Empire. How can I allow you to defy your superior?" Qian Renxue sneered. "Seize Xue Beng!"

"Yes!" At Qian Renxue's command, Spirit Hall Knights on both sides rushed out and charged fiercely toward Xue Beng.

However, in the next moment, two elderly men wreathed in lightning suddenly appeared before Xue Beng,

Seven soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black—revolved beneath their feet. They were unmistakably two Soul Saints.

Behind each of them coiled a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!
