In the corridor
Seeing that Xue Ye was about to be taken away by Liu Erlong, Tang San, Yang Wudi, and the others panicked and hurriedly forced back their opponents to attack her.
Tang San shouted, " Liu Erlong, leave the person here!"
"Sect Leader, I'll hold them off, you go intercept her!" Yang Wudi shouted, and charged straight at the three commanders.
"Cough cough..."
Just then, Xue Ye suddenly coughed violently, black blood began to flow from his seven orifices, and his old face looked extremely terrifying.
Liu Erlong cried out in a panic, "Oh no! The Emperor has been poisoned to death!"
Tap tap tap...
As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Qinghe and her group of royal guards arrived. The two commanders took the Xue Ye from her hands, examined it, and reported:
"Your Highness, the Great Emperor... has been fatally poisoned and is beyond saving..."
The Seven-Colored Splendor were undetectable during his lifetime, but after Xue Ye died from poisoning, the signs of poisoning became increasingly obvious.
"How dare you trespass into the Imperial Palace and plot to murder my father!" Xue Qinghe roared, "Guards, seize them all! Don't let a single one escape!"
Upon hearing the news that Xue Ye had been poisoned, the surrounding royal guards flew into a rage, their soul weapons becoming even more ruthless.
Not far away, above the main hall
[Ding! The host has successfully murdered Xue Ye, weakening the destiny of the Chosen One and gaining 100,000 Villain Value.]
[Host: Lin Chen ]
[ Villain Value: 560,000]
Upon hearing the system's announcement, Lin Chen's lips curled up slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. He thought to himself, "After saving up for so long, it's finally enough."
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
At this moment, Liu Erlong, who had secretly dealt with Xue Ye, quietly left the scene and then leaped to Lin Chen's side.
"Master~"
Lin Chen casually put his arm around her slender waist and pinched her beautiful, mature face. " Long'er, well done."
Liu Erlong smiled happily, nestled in his arms, and then looked at him pleadingly. "Master, can you grant Long'er a request?"
Lin Chen's large hand slowly slid down her slender waist. "Speak~"
"Hmm~" Liu Erlong murmured, a blush rising on her beautiful face. "Master, could you please talk to Your Highness Xue and ask her to spare Flender's life?"
Lin Chen said calmly, "He poses no threat to the Spirit Hall. It's a small matter; I'll grant your request."
"Hehe... Thank you, Master. I knew you would love me the most~" Liu Erlong's fiery body writhed in his arms, and she even made a coquettish gesture, which was extremely charming.
Finally, to show his sincerity, he gave her a kiss in front of everyone.
The Love Soul Pill was merely a trigger; now she is deeply poisoned, and if she leaves Lin Chen, she may never find any meaning in life again.
Below
With the Clear Sky Hammer in one hand and Blue Silver Grass in the other, Tang San easily withstood the combined attack of an 86th-level Grand Commander and several Soul Saint- level Lesser Commanders, demonstrating his combat prowess as the Chosen One.
On the other side, two Soul Douluo- level commanders were besieging Yang Wudi. Although the latter's offensive power was unparalleled, he was still in a precarious situation under the siege of the two Soul Douluo. Moreover, his Soul Power was only level 82, and his ability to sustain combat was inferior to that of the two mid-stage Soul Douluo.
Xue Qinghe glanced at Tang San, and a thought immediately arose in her mind: Now that little bastard Lin Chen is completely infatuated with her, if she wants to compete for the throne, she must fight with him, but she... does not want to fight with him, not even in the slightest.
Tang San... is a good choice. Without help, he can't defeat the little devil and her team up on his own. If someone can hold her off for a while, he can find an opportunity to defeat her!
The loser has no right to assume the His Holiness the Pope or Emperor. Even if that little bastard is unwilling, there's nothing he can do. I don't believe he would harm me for her sake.
Even taking sides has its limits; otherwise, I'll make him pay! Humph~
Thinking of this, Xue Qinghe's lips curled up slightly, as if he had already sat on the His Holiness the Pope and snatched Lin Chen back.
Before long, Flender Soul Power had just reached level 81, was defeated by a level 85 Heaven Dou Guard commander. The opponent also possessed a flying Martial Soul. The two fought for dozens of rounds, but Flander was ultimately no match for the latter.
"Quick! Another assassin has been critically wounded!"
"Capture him! His Highness the Crown Prince ordered him alive!"
Before long, the seriously wounded Flender was captured, surrounded by a commander and several junior commanders.
Xue Qinghe merely glanced at him indifferently and ordered, "Put him in the boss's name first, then interrogate their identities after you've captured all the assassins."
"Yes!"
Now that Xue Ye has passed away, Xue Qinghe has naturally become the most powerful man in the imperial palace. Who would dare disobey his orders?
After Flender was captured, the commander-in-chief, who was at the Soul Douluo level, immediately joined the battle to besiege Yang Wudi. Yang Wudi, who was only level 82, was also quickly captured by the Heaven Dou Royal Guards.
Two royal guards of the rank of junior commander escorted him toward the imperial prison.
At this moment, only Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and two ordinary disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were present. After all, the latter three were useless. After being severely injured by Liu Erlong's palm strike, they collapsed on the corridor and could not even stand up.
Although Tang San was strong, he was quickly defeated by the combined attack of several Soul Douluo after Yang Wudi was captured.
Xue Qinghe instructed his trusted guards, "You two, bring him here."
"Yes!"
A moment later, two golden-armored guards from the Spirit Hall brought Tang San over and forcefully pressed him to the ground. "Kneel down!"
Tang San's unyielding spirit, even unto death, perfectly embodies the strength and stubbornness of a chosen one.
Xue Qinghe frowned and said calmly, "He harmed my father, yet he's still so arrogant. You all teach him how to bow to me."
"Yes!"
The two guards responded and then kicked him in the back of the knees from behind, causing him to kneel heavily on the ground with a cracking sound.
"Ugh..."
Xue Qinghe glanced around indifferently, and seeing the expressions of relief on the faces of the Heaven Dou Royal Guards, he lowered his head and looked down at him.
"Do you now know how to face me?"
Tang San stared at him with bloodshot eyes. "Traitor, if you have the guts, kill me. My father and great-grandfather will not let you get away with this. My great-grandfather, Tang Chen, was Peerless Douluo at the peak of level ninety-nine."
"Hehe..." Xue Qinghe chuckled softly, speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear, "It's as if anyone's grandfather wasn't Peerless Douluo."
Tang San's expression changed drastically. "You... you're Qian Daoliu's junior?!"
Xue Qinghe said meaningfully, " Tang San, are you willing to submit to me? If you are, I will not pursue the matter of your plot to harm my father, and I can even help you become Titled Douluo."
Tang San scoffed, "Keep dreaming! My father and great-grandfather will definitely come to save me!"
Xue Qinghe's expression gradually turned cold, and he said indifferently, "You're asking for it. Take him to the Heavenly Prison."
"Yes!"
In the distance, on the main hall
Lin Chen, with the aloof and beautiful woman in his arms, looked at his adopted daughter with great interest. "This Xue'er, she's really not well-behaved~"
Liu Erlong's beautiful face was flushed, and there were even a few red marks on her snow-white neck. She looked at him with seductive eyes and asked, "Master, what's wrong with Your Highness Xue?"
"She's a bit rebellious, isn't she?"
