In Heaven Dou City, this was a day of madness, a day unlike any other.
First, Xue Beng fled Heaven Dou City, his whereabouts unknown.
Less than four hours later, news spread through Heaven Dou City that Emperor Xue Ye had passed away.
Immediately afterward came reports that Xue Beng had joined Prince Xue Xing in rebellion and assassinated Xue Ye, inflicting the grievous wounds that killed him. Xue Beng was branded a father-killer.
Reports came one after another, and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe temporarily took charge of all affairs in the Heaven Dou Empire.
Xue Beng's reputation as a wastrel was known throughout the world, so the report seemed highly credible. Very few people doubted it.
After all, given Xue Beng's reputation, he was quite capable of such a deed.
Had it been Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, most people probably could not have imagined it. Precisely because of this, Qian Renxue easily took control of Heaven Dou City from top to bottom in her guise as Xue Qinghe.
On Sea God Island, Su Ling watched the goddesses cultivating, then turned his attention back to the chests in the system.
He had fewer than a hundred Black Chests and only three Red Chests.
"System, open ten Black Chests first. Let's see what I get."
[Ding... Opened ten Black Chests. Obtained Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring ×3, first three levels of the Nine-Star Body Tempering Art ×1, Nine-Star Body Tempering Paste (basic) ×6 bottles, 50,000 Years Soul Bone ×4.]
"Huh, that's it?"
This time, he had actually received a body-tempering art, along with the medicine to accompany it. It was like being handed a pillow just as he grew sleepy.
"System, thank you!"
"Then keep going. Open another ten Black Chests," Su Ling said.
The good haul encouraged
