The commotion Qian Renxue caused in the Tiandou Imperial Palace spread quickly, especially the scene where Xue Qinghe publicly announced that he had joined the Spirit Hall, which made countless onlookers in the Tiandou Empire feel incredible.
"The crown prince of the Tiandou Empire actually joined the Spirit Hall?"
"Does the Heaven Dou Empire want to submit to the Spirit Hall?"
When Xingluo Emperor Dai Tianfeng received the news from the spies, he was extremely worried. He was afraid that the Spirit Hall and the Tiandou Empire would unite and launch a war against the Xingluo Empire, which would then end the Xingluo Empire.
Even the two elders of the Haotian Sect who had just served as the royal family of the Xingluo Empire were confused. You know, Tang Xiao went to the Tiandou Empire in person to discuss cooperation. Now the other side's crown prince has joined the Spirit Hall. What should he do? Qian Renxue used the crown prince Xue Qinghe to make such a scene, and also made some other kingdoms and principalities in the Tiandou Empire that had ambiguous relations with the Spirit Hall stand on the side of the Spirit Hall, such as the Barak Kingdom, the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom, etc.
The Spirit Hall also took the opportunity to infiltrate the ruling classes of these kingdoms and principalities to facilitate future actions.
"Father, we have to announce to the public that Xue Qinghe is a fake, not the real crown prince. The original crown prince has been killed by the Spirit Hall's people."
In the Tiandou Empire's palace, Xue Beng proposed to Emperor Xue Ye that in this way, he would completely become the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire.
In the past few days, Emperor Xue Ye has been fantasizing about Xue Qinghe and has been reluctant to make him the crown prince, which makes Xue Beng very anxious.
"Brother, don't have any illusions about Xue Qinghe anymore. The whole Tiandou City is talking about this. We have to announce that Xue Qinghe is a fake. Only in this way can we appease the people."
Prince Xuexing was also there to persuade Emperor Xueye that the most urgent task was to make Prince Xuebeng the crown prince.
"Okay! Beng'er, go and handle this matter! You are my only son now."
After listening to what the two said, Emperor Xue Ye finally made up his mind and let Xue Beng deal with the rumors, which was also a test for his youngest son.
"Father, don't worry! I will take care of everything." Xue Beng was very excited when he saw that his father finally spoke.
Xue Beng returned to the Prince's Mansion and immediately ordered people to issue an announcement in the identity of the prince, saying that Prince Xue Qinghe was impersonated by someone from the Spirit Hall, and that all this was a conspiracy of the Spirit Hall, describing the Spirit Hall as an unforgivable evil organization.
Qian Renxue gave up her undercover plan, and Xue Beng couldn't wait to take over everything in the Prince's Mansion, regardless of whether old man Xue Ye agreed or not. Anyway, he was the only one left in the Tiandou royal family, and the position of the prince could only be his.
"Wow! So that's how it is."
"I feel that the competition among the royal families of the Tiandou Empire is more exciting than that of the Xingluo Empire."
When Xue Beng announced this as the crown prince, the onlookers thought it was just a competition between the two princes of the Tiandou Empire.
"I didn't expect that the dandy Xue Beng would win in the end. The Tiandou Empire is doomed now."
"As for that evil pervert Xue Beng, if he becomes the emperor, who knows what kind of disaster he will bring to the empire?"
"Emperor Xue Ye may be too old to see clearly. He actually let Xue Beng, a dandy boy, be his heir. No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince joined the Spirit Hall."
In people's impression, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe is an elegant and modest gentleman who treats people gently. He is not comparable to Xue Beng, the evil and dissolute young man. Now that Xue Beng has become the crown prince, many people in the Tiandou Empire are very unhappy and are cursing Xue Beng behind his back.
"Damn it, Xue Qinghe, you are so cruel."
Xue Beng never expected that his efforts to quell rumors as the crown prince not only did not receive any praise, but he was instead met with a barrage of criticism.
"Avalanche, keep calm. What does it matter if there are rumors? What does it matter if the people are dissatisfied? In the end, don't they still have to accept your rule? Don't pay attention to what those ants say."
Prince Xuexing looked at the furious Xuebeng and comforted him not to panic.
"Uncle, I understand."
Xue Beng spoke calmly, but he was very anxious in his heart. If he could not take power, he would not be able to mobilize the army and would not be able to seek revenge on Ye Liangchen. It was so infuriating.
Although his father is old, he is also a soul master. If he can hold on for another twenty or thirty years, Ye Liangchen will surely grow into an unparalleled powerful man by then. Even if he becomes the emperor, he will not be able to repay him.
Thinking of this, Xue Beng suddenly felt extremely depressed.
"Hey! Got it."
At this time, Xue Beng suddenly had an idea. Now that his father would not abdicate, he should use some means and unite a few concubines to make the old man die faster, right?
Xue Beng is secretly having affairs with several concubines of Emperor Xue Ye. It just so happens that those concubines are also dissatisfied with Emperor Xue Ye's inability to do anything for them, and want to secretly attack Xue Ye. It shouldn't be a problem.
"Hehehe...! I am so talented." When Xue Beng thought of this, he laughed wildly in his heart. The throne was not far away from him.
Emperor Xue Ye is now also having a headache. What kind of evil things did his youngest son do in the past to make the people hate him so much?
"Compared to Qinghe, Beng'er is far behind. He is not up to the task! Alas!"
Emperor Xue Ye sighed deeply. It seemed that he had to steer the ship of the Tiandou Empire himself. He would not let go until his youngest son Xue Beng satisfied him.
Emperor Xue Ye is also a power-obsessed man. He would never have enough fun with three thousand beauties in his harem, so he would not easily let Xue Beng inherit the throne.
"Father, why did my elder brother want to join the Spirit Hall?"
At this time, the little princess Xue Ke ran to Emperor Xue Ye's residence and asked about Xue Qinghe.
Although Qian Renxue killed three princes of the Tiandou Empire, she was very kind to the little princess Xue Ke and treated her like her own sister. Xue Qinghe's betrayal of the empire made the little princess Xue Ke sad to death. These days, she often cried in her room, missing her elder brother.
"Ke'er, your father doesn't know either. Your uncle told your fourth brother that Qinghe is a fake. I am also confused now."
Looking at Xue Ke's tearful face, Emperor Xue Ye knew that the little girl must have been very sad during this period.
"Why did Big Brother do this? Have we been bad to him? The future throne will be his, what else is he dissatisfied with?"
Xue Ke cried with tears in her eyes, saying that her elder brother ran away from home, which made her very sad.
Princess Xue Ke is a brother-con and is very attached to Xue Qinghe. She is not used to the days without the love and care of her elder brother.
"No, I have to figure it out."
Emperor Xue Ye immediately returned to the palace, gathered thousands of soldiers, and rushed to the Wuhun Hall in Tiandou City to question Sarath.
“Tap, tap, tap…”
When Emperor Xue Ye led thousands of soldiers to the Wuhun Hall of Tiandou City, Platinum Bishop Salas and his party were suddenly shocked.
Salas walked out of the Spirit Hall and calmly asked questions to Emperor Xue Ye. As the highest commander of the Spirit Hall in Tiandou City, he could not be cowardly at this time.
In the past few days, because of the commotion caused by Qian Renxue, Salas was also very nervous, worried that Emperor Xue Ye would destroy the garrison personnel of the Wuhun Hall in Tiandou City.
"Salas, I want to know why the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire would collude with the Spirit Hall?"
Emperor Xue Ye sat in the carriage and questioned Sarath from a condescending position.
"Your Majesty, I am not aware of this matter."
Sarath spread his hands to show that he didn't know.
Originally thought that Emperor Xue Ye brought his army to attack the Spirit Hall, but unexpectedly the other party only came to inquire about Xue Qinghe. So Salas immediately argued with Emperor Xue Ye and refused to admit it.
"Saras, don't play dumb with me."
Emperor Xue Ye was extremely angry when he saw that Sarath was arguing with him.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has joined the Spirit Hall. This is a confidential matter."
"I am just a small platinum bishop. Do you think I am qualified to know such confidential matters?"
Sarath continued to act like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water and refused to admit it.
"Saras, do you really think I dare not destroy you?"
"Everyone listen up, we will destroy the Wuhun Hall of Tiandou City today."
Emperor Xue Ye was so enraged by Sarath that he directly ordered an attack on the Spirit Hall.
"Everyone, activate your martial spirits and prepare for battle."
Seeing that Emperor Xue Ye was getting anxious, Salas immediately ordered all the dozens of Golden Knights stationed in the Wuhun Hall of Tiandou City to prepare for battle.
"As you command, Your Excellency."
“Buzz…”
A group of soul masters from the Spirit Hall revealed their spirits and prepared to fight.
There are 60 members of the Golden Knights stationed at the Spirit Hall in Tiandou City. All of them are Soul Kings, and there are three Soul Saints over level 70. Sarath's strength is as high as level 89. If a fight really breaks out, they may not all be wiped out.
“Tap, tap, tap…”
"Your Majesty, calm down and don't be impulsive."
At this moment, Prince Xuexing and Avalanche rode their war horses and quickly arrived at the scene to stop the conflict between the two sides.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Crown Prince's matter involved the Titled Douluo of the Worship Hall. I really don't know about such confidential matters. If you want to know, why not go directly to Wuhun City and ask the Pope for clarification."
At this time, Salas put the blame on the top leaders of the Spirit Hall and specifically mentioned the Titled Douluo of the Worship Hall.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Once we take action, the Spirit Hall will definitely retaliate, and we cannot afford the consequences." Xue Xing advised from the side.
"Salas, the Heaven Dou Empire has millions of soldiers. Don't think I'm afraid of those Titled Douluo in your Spirit Hall."
"Let's retreat."
After Emperor Xue Ye said some harsh words to Sarath, he led his army to withdraw.
"Prince Xuexing, fortunately you arrived in time, avoided a war, and saved the people of Tiandou City."
Saras was possessed by the spirit of drama, and he smiled and praised Prince Xuexing.
"Salas, don't think that just because Spirit Hall has a large number of Titled Douluo, it can cover the sky with one hand." Prince Xuexing spoke to Salas coldly, with a strong smell of gunpowder.
"Prince Xue Xing, this is too serious. Although we have a large number of Title Douluo in the Spirit Hall, we are not omnipotent. I am just a small platinum bishop. There is no point in you getting angry with me?"
"The Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire are often at war. If our Wuhun Hall hadn't mediated between them, do you think the Tiandou Empire could stop the iron cavalry of the Xingluo Empire?"
"Your Highness, our Spirit Hall has always been committed to maintaining peace. You shouldn't have such a big grudge against us."
Saras did not take the threat from Prince Xuexing seriously at all. Instead, he brought up the Spirit Hall's attempt to mediate the conflict between the two empires.
"Salas, your Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo killed several hundred of our Imperial Guards this time. We will avenge this blood debt."
"Your Highness, there are Titled Douluo appearing, and you let those soldiers go forward to besiege them. Aren't you sending them to their deaths?"
"Saras, you are making excuses."
"Your Highness, I am telling the truth. In fact, it is not a bad thing for His Highness the Crown Prince to join the Spirit Hall. It was you who insisted on making a fuss and sent troops to besiege the Titled Douluo. It can be said that the people who killed those soldiers were actually you."
"I don't want to argue with you, so you better take care of yourself!"
Prince Xuexing was so angry at Saras that he just turned away.
"Your Excellency the Bishop, what should we do from now on? Should we ask the Pope for permission to withdraw from Tiandou City?"
Seeing that the Tiandou royal family had withdrawn their troops, a Soul Sage asked Sarath for instructions.
"Thors, you must return to Wuhun City as soon as possible and report to the Pope."
Sarath also realized the seriousness of the situation. If a fight really broke out today, he would not be able to protect his men, so he immediately asked the Soul Sage with the ability to fly to return to Wuhun City.
"Yes, Bishop." Thors took the order and rushed to Wuhun City.
