The Situation in Heaven Dou, Part Three-Xue Qinghe Ascends the Throne
Ning Fengzhi left Xue Qinghe speechless.
Because what Xue Qinghe said was true, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect bears some responsibility for the current chaos in the Heaven Dou Empire.
As a staunch ally of the Heaven Dou Empire, if he hadn't maintained neutrality at this time and instead had supported Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, there wouldn't have been such widespread panic, and the situation where Prince Xue Xing suppressed Crown Prince Xue Qinghe would never have occurred.
The Heaven Dou Empire would not be in internal strife, and the border between the Star Luo Empire and Heaven Dou nations would not be in frequent crisis.
Seeing that Ning Fengzhi was speechless after her retort, Qian Renxue immediately backed down.
Xue Qinghe: "I am well aware of the Spirit Hall's Qinghe ambitions, so I hope that you, Master, will come out of seclusion and help me restrain Qinghe Spirit Hall."
"Qinghe can only rely on you now, teacher..."
After saying this, Xue Qinghe left an envelope and departed with his attendants.
The envelope contained Xue Qinghe's plan targeting Xue Beng and Xue Xing, in which the Spirit Hall would play a very important role.
Qian Renxue was confident that Ning Fengzhi would stand by her side, because he had no other choice.
Choosing to Xue Beng, and setting aside the issue of trust, given their absolute strength, even if intelligence is leaked, their chances of winning wouldn't exceed 30%, or even less.
Of course, he could also choose neither side and remain neutral like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. The result of that would be that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be completely excluded from the core of power in the Heaven Dou Empire.
Ning Fengzhi is a smart man; smart men know to side with the winner, not the loser.
Two weeks later.
Xue Qinghe coldly watched Xue Xing and Xue Beng lying on the ground.
He said calmly, "Dear Uncle Wang, and my foolish brother, you've lost."
At this moment, standing on either side of Xue Qinghe were people from the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, respectively.
Ning Fengzhi ultimately chose to stand with Xue Qinghe; he simply had no other choice!
The Heaven Dou Battle was too sudden, and Xue Ye's death was also too sudden. The nation's strength and high-level combat power suffered almost a devastating blow, and the Spirit Hall was so Yamato and domineering.
Standing on Xue Qinghe's side, the Spirit Hall can at least get a taste of the soup; if they didn't, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would probably be used to make soup.
Xue Xing looked at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Spirit Hall members behind Xue Qinghe and laughed bitterly, "You think you've won? For the throne, you colluded with outsiders. Sooner or later, the Heaven Dou Empire will surely be destroyed in your hands. In the future, you will definitely die without a burial place, hahaha... a terrible death."
Xue Qinghe shook his head. "It's just a pity you're destined not to see that day."
Then, Xue Qinghe turned his attention to another battle, his eyes filled with apprehension.
After consuming three Dugu Bo Immortal Herb — the Aromatic Silk Beauty, the Infernal Delicate Apricot, and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass Bo then studied the Myriad Poison Body (incomplete scroll) and various Poison Scripture given to him by Chen Mo.
Dugu Bo's Soul Power Level and strength have already advanced by leaps and bounds. In just over two years, he has raised his level to the level of Super Douluo of level ninety-six.
He single-handedly fought Yue Guan three Super Douluo: Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Chen Xin. Among them, Sword Douluo Chen Xin had Ning Fengzhi, the number one assistant in the world. The combination of the two made their combat power approach that of a Level 98 Titled Douluo.
However, the Poison Douluo is now able to fight three opponents at once. Although he has shown signs of defeat, there is no doubt that his strength is no less than that of an ordinary Level 98 Titled Douluo.
All of this was brought to him by Chen Mo. Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were among the few people who were close to Chen Mo.
Qian Renxue could roughly guess that it was because of Chen Mo that the two of them, grandfather and grandson, had changed so much, and she felt even more wary of that man.
Xue Qinghe: "Your Majesty, the Poison Douluo's defeat is inevitable. Why fight like a cornered beast? I wonder what benefits the Imperial Uncle has given Your Majesty that would make Your Majesty risk your life for him. It's truly enviable."
Dugu Bo, panting heavily, said, "It's nothing more than a matter of loyalty. Prince Xue Xing once saved my life, and after today, we're even..."
Dugu Bo's actions can be seen as a tacit admission of defeat; he simply couldn't win!
There are currently three Titled Douluo attacking him, and four more Titled Douluo standing behind Xue Qinghe, making a total of seven Titled Douluo.
The Spirit Hall sent four, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect sent two, plus the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's Venerable Demon Lizard Douluo. Xue Xing's side only had one Titled Douluo, a difference of one to seven.
This is only the difference in top-tier combat power; other high-level combat powers such as Soul Saint and Soul Douluo are also being crushed by the opponent.
The middle and lower-level armies are inferior to their opponents in both quantity and quality; Xue Xing and Xue Beng have absolutely no chance of winning.
That's why Dugu Bo revealed his agreement with Xue Xing, the subtext being. "Give me some face, I don't want to fight either, let's wait a bit longer, I'll slip away when the time is up."
Dugu Bo was speechless. The timing was just too damn coincidental. They had to come on his last day for the final battle. If they had come a day later, what chance would he have had?
Xue Qinghe and Xue Beng Xue Xing naturally understood the hidden meaning in Dugu Bo's words.
Xue Beng and Xue Xing were even more ashen-faced.
Xue Qinghe laughed and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll give Poison Douluo face and let Uncle Xue Xing live a few more hours."
Xue Qinghe then looked at Xue Beng: "As for you, my foolish brother! Rest in peace on your journey."
As a member of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, don't let me look down on you. You should commit suicide!
However, you can choose to let others die, and I might spare your life.
After saying that, Xue Qinghe drew his sword and threw it next to Xue Beng.
Xue Beng's trembling hand gripped the sword with difficulty, placing it against his neck, but he hesitated to make a move.
Xue Beng cried out, "Uncle Wang, I don't want to die..."
Xue Xing sighed, "Alas! Xue Xing, kill me. That way you might live. I'm destined to die anyway, it's just a matter of dying a few hours sooner."
Xue Beng cried out, "Uncle Wang..."
Xue Xing: "From now on, do whatever His Majesty tells you to do. Don't have any other thoughts. Staying alive is more important than anything else."
Come, end my life yourself. That way, my old followers won't resent the future emperor; they'll only hate you. You'll be deserted by everyone. Only then will your elder brother let you live...
The Xue Beng howled and cried out, "Ah..."
The final strike severed Prince Xue Xing's head.
Everyone watched silently, without making any move, including Dugu Bo.
Xue Qinghe had already given Dugu Bo enough face by not immediately killing Xue Xing. Now, it was the Fourth Prince Xue Beng who killed Xue Xing, and Dugu Bo was helpless.
Xue Qinghe draped a battle robe over Xue Beng: "You've really gone through a lot, my dear brother. From now on, just stay in the palace and don't go anywhere else. Your brother will send people to protect you..."
Xue Qinghe then said, "Send down the order: Prince Xue Xing instigated the Fourth Prince Xue Beng to Xue Beng. Prince Xue Beng, being a man of great principle, has now killed the ringleader Xue Xing and is hereby granted Xue Beng title of Prince..."
Ten days later, at the succession ceremony.
Xue Qinghe finally ascended the throne as emperor.
The crowd below erupted in cheers: Emperor Qinghe! Emperor Qinghe...
