The three little girls saw the soldiers observing them and were very afraid of being recognized, so they couldn't help but move closer to Ye Liangchen and Poseidon.
"Were you captured by these soldiers before?"
Ye Liangchen used his soul power to force the sound into a line and asked the three girls.
"Sir, when the imperial soldiers went to the countryside to capture slaves, they saw that I was beautiful and had a unique martial spirit, so they sent me to the auction house to be sold as a pet. You saved my life two years ago, and I thought I could escape, but I didn't expect to be captured by them again this time."
Xiaoli whispered in Ye Liangchen's ear about her experience. At this moment, her palms were sweating from nervousness and she was very scared.
"We are similar to Xiaoli. Every year, the Empire captures many young men and women from remote mountain villages. The men are taken as soldiers and sent to the border to fight. As for the women, they are sold to the nobles to be used as servants."
"Anyway, most of us commoners who fall into the hands of nobles have a tragic fate. If we hadn't met you, my Lord, we would have just become the nobles' playthings until we died."
The other two little girls also quietly told Ye Liangchen about their experiences, and at this moment their calves could not help but tremble.
"Don't be afraid. We are here. No one can hurt you now."
Seeing that the three girls were very nervous, Poseidon simply reached out his hands, holding Xiaoling with his left hand and Xiaoyun with his right hand, to give them some spiritual comfort. As for Xiaoli, he threw her to Ye Liangchen.
"Just walk openly, don't be nervous. The more nervous you are, the more suspicious the troops will be of you."
Ye Liangchen comforted the three little girls and told them not to worry.
"Thank you, sir."
"Thank you, sir."
Sure enough, when the two men held hands, the three little girls suddenly felt safe, their palms stopped sweating, and their legs stopped shaking.
"After a while, I will help you become soul masters. You must work hard to become stronger, and then you can live freely. If anyone bullies you, beat him up."
Ye Liangchen painted a big picture for the three girls, making them full of hope for the future.
"Sir, we will definitely work hard."
The three girls nodded excitedly. Although they were now well protected by Ye Liangchen, they still hoped to become stronger so as not to hold their master back.
After crossing several streets, there were more and more patrolling troops. Many nobles in gorgeous clothes drove horse-drawn carriages in groups towards the palace, causing a lot of traffic jams and bringing great inconvenience to the lives of ordinary people.
But these common people dare not speak out and can only complain in their hearts: It has been almost twenty days since Emperor Xue Ye died, and we the people are still not allowed to have peace. How long will this continue?
"Thump... rumble..."
“Crash…”
At this moment, a super luxurious carriage drove through the street in a domineering manner and directly knocked over a small vendor's fruit cart. The fruits were scattered all over the ground. The old man selling fruit was also knocked to the ground and almost lost his life.
"Old man! Can you bear the responsibility of delaying our master from paying his respects to His Majesty?"
Several soul master guards jumped down from the carriage and started punching and kicking the old man.
"My Lords, I deserve to die..."
The old man didn't care about the pain, he immediately prostrated himself on the ground and begged for mercy from those soul masters, lamenting in his heart: I have offended the noble lord, I am afraid that I will lose my life today.
"call…"
"Bang…"
Seeing this scene, Poseidon couldn't help himself and waved his palm towards the luxurious carriage. The powerful soul power directly shattered the carriage.
"ah…"
The three girls, Xiaoli, Xiaoling and Xiaoyun, were frightened when they saw Poseidon suddenly attack.
"What happened? Why did the carriage explode?"
"It seems that the soul master slapped the carriage, and then it exploded with a bang..."
Many people on the street felt very relieved when seeing what was happening and stopped to watch.
“Hiss…”
"Herod..."
The carriage suddenly broke into pieces, frightening the two horses, who screamed wildly.
“Shua…”
Ye Liangchen dodged and brought the old man selling fruit over to prevent him from being stepped on by the horse.
"Ouch! Who's attacking us?"
Two old men in fancy clothes fell out of the car, looking confused.
"grown ups,……"
Several soul master guards immediately went to help the two old men up.
"Did you attack us?"
The two old men looked at Ye Liangchen and Poseidon with angry expressions.
"Sir, the other party is very strong."
The two old men's guards looked at Poseidon and Ye Liangchen, who looked calm, and felt a little scared.
"Old man, don't sell the fruit. Take the money and leave here quickly."
Ye Liangchen activated the Spring Breeze skill of the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone to heal the old man's injuries. He also threw him ten gold soul coins and told him to leave the scene quickly.
"Thank you for saving my life, sir."
The old man thanked Ye Liangchen and then fled for his life.
“Tap tap…”
At this time, a patrol army saw that an accident had occurred here and immediately surrounded this side.
"Who are you? Why are you attacking the two barons?"
After the patrolling troops learned the identities of the two old men, they all raised their spears and looked at Ye Liangchen and his group.
“Buzz…”
"Sister Bobo, let's go to the palace."
Ye Liangchen ignored the soldiers' questions and calmly put the three girls into the game space, deciding to scare the Tiandou royal family.
"good!"
Poseidon took out a veil to cover his beautiful face, put away his sun hat, and dressed up like the portrait on the wanted poster.
Ye Liangchen pinched his face and turned into the portrait on the wanted poster. Both of them used their previous vests and prepared to charge into the palace.
"Is…is…they?"
The soldiers were shocked when they saw Ye Liangchen and Poseidon fighting, and the two noble old men were so frightened that they trembled all over and fled from here. As for mourning the Emperor Xue Ye, it was not as important as their own lives! "Swoosh..."
Ye Liangchen and Poseidon took off into the air and flew towards the Tiandou Empire.
"Ah, they actually flew away?"
“That’s amazing.”
People on the street were extremely shocked when they saw Ye Liangchen and Poseidon flying into the sky.
"Captain, what should we do?"
The patrolling soldiers looked at this scene and asked the team leader tremblingly, "The murderer who killed Emperor Xue Ye has come again. This clearly shows that he doesn't take the empire seriously! If everyone goes up, they will definitely die in vain."
"What else can we do? Just do it."
"We can't afford to offend a master of this level. Let's clean up this place."
The team leader called on his men to tame the frightened horse, and at the same time clean up the fruits and carriage debris on the ground and restore traffic.
…
When Ye Liangchen and Poseidon flew a few hundred meters above the Tiandou Palace, they found that the memorial service for Emperor Xue Ye was still being held in the square in front of the palace.
“Ding ding… Da da… Dong dong qiang… Dong dong qiang…”
“Woo woo…”
“Oh…”
The sounds of gongs and drums, suona, and crying continued to ring out. In other places, many people were excitedly eating at the banquet, and the scene was extremely lively.
"Hmm! No, it's those two strong men."
At this moment, several strong men also sensed the arrival of a strange strong man. When they found out that it was the murderer who killed Emperor Xue Ye before, everyone was shocked.
Among these powerful men are Tang Xiao and Tang Lie from the Haotian Sect, Jian Douluo and Ning Fengzhi from the Qibao Liuli Sect, the three major teaching committees of the Tiandou Royal Academy, and some masters from the royal family.
Now that Emperor Xue Ye is dead, both the Haotian Sect and the Qibao Liuli Sect want to become the actual controllers behind the Tiandou Empire. They have been staying in the palace these days, discussing future cooperation plans with Xue Xing and Xue Beng, uncle and nephew, in an effort to gain the greatest benefits from the empire.
The other major powers did not have much interest in the empire and had left some time ago.
"Hey. Old man Xue Ye has been dead for almost 20 days. What are you still doing? You hold these costly memorial services every day. Do you know how much the citizens hate you? Hurry up and dig a hole to bury old man Xue Ye."
"If you really miss old man Xue Ye, I don't mind sending you all down to meet him."
Ye Liangchen descended and stood on a platform several dozen meters high in front of the palace, shouting to the people below.
Poseidon also followed Ye Liangchen quietly, looking coldly at the people below. She was also a little unhappy about the wanted order issued by the Tiandou Empire.
“Ah…! It’s them!”
"Even the palace's troops couldn't stop them."
Many princes and nobles had seen Ye Liangchen and Poseidon display their power at the Tiandou Auction House some time ago. When they saw these two killer gods coming, they immediately fled the palace frantically. Even the staff who were playing musical instruments and singing for the memorial service fled.
In an instant, only Xue Xing, Xue Beng, Xue Ke, the three teaching committee members of Tiandou Royal Academy, and some royal relatives were left in the entire palace.
The people from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Haotian Sect did not leave for the time being. Due to the interests involved, the two major sects did not want to give up such a big piece of fat meat as the Tiandou Empire.
But now Ye Liangchen and Poseidon suddenly came to the palace, putting the two major sects in a dilemma. They couldn't leave, and they couldn't stay either.
"Didn't they say that these two masters returned to Ice God Island? Why are they here suddenly?"
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi, Tang Xiao and others were all confused. They couldn't understand what the two powerful men were going to do in the Tiandou royal family.
“Tap tap…”
At this time, Marshal Ge Long and several generals arrived here with a legion of several thousand soul masters, ready to fight at any time.
"What brings you to our Tiandou Palace? It's not enough that you killed my father, do you want to start a massacre in our palace today?"
Xue Beng was also very scared at this moment, but as the prince, he could not be cowardly and had to stand up to deal with the difficulties in front of him.
"Are you Prince Avalanche? Your father is dead, but you don't seem to be sad."
"I understand. You have always wanted to sit on the throne, but old man Xue Ye has not died yet, which makes you impatient. This time we killed Emperor Xue Ye. You appear to be sad, but you are actually very happy in your heart. You held a memorial service for old man Xue Ye for more than 20 days. The purpose is to make others think that you are very filial, so that you can win the support of princes and nobles."
"Do you know? You are nothing but a pile of mud, rotten eggs, and scum. If someone like you becomes emperor, the entire empire will be ruined by you."
Ye Liangchen looked at the drama queen Xuebeng and directly pointed out the other party's inner thoughts, letting the other party enjoy a fatal and heart-breaking critical blow.
"Ah... can't it be true?"
“It sounds like it makes sense.”
Ye Liangchen's words immediately caused an uproar in the audience, and everyone turned their eyes to the avalanche.
"You...you are talking nonsense."
"Seniors, Marshal Gelong, kill this man and avenge the empire."
Xue Beng was ridiculed by Ye Liangchen and felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit. However, being an expert in acting, he immediately became possessed by the spirit of acting. With a ferocious face, he clamored madly that he wanted to kill Ye Liangchen, hoping to create a good impression among everyone that he was not afraid of strong enemies.
"You want to fight, right? Come on, everyone!"
Poseidon displayed his martial spirit, and nine soul rings, eight black and one red, rose up. He looked calmly at the strong men below and pressed down with powerful soul power. In an instant, some weak people knelt down directly.
“Buzz…”
Jian Douluo, Tang Xiao, Tang Lie, Ning Fengzhi, and Tian Dou, the three major teaching committee members, immediately released their martial spirits and spirit rings to form a spirit power shield to resist the spirit power pressure of Poseidon, but they did not take action. Facing a strong man of this level, going up would be seeking death.
As people from a large sect, they cooperate with the Tiandou Empire only for the sake of profit, and it is impossible for everyone to risk their lives.
"roar…"
“Shua…”
"Protect the palace."
Marshal Ge Long roared and led the soul master army to show their martial souls and soul rings, preparing for war. As generals of the empire, they had to obey.
"Oh! Are you, the Hammer Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, preparing to engage in a fierce battle with our Ice God Island?"
Ye Liangchen looked at the performance of Ning Fengzhi, Tang Xiao and others, and knew that their interests were deeply tied to the Tiandou Empire.
"We don't want to be enemies with the Ice God Island. We just want to protect others."
Ning Fengzhi felt a little embarrassed at the moment, but he didn't know whether he should say it or not. However, in the face of absolute strength, he could only give in.
"You two are from Bingshen Island. I wonder if you are familiar with Seagod Island? We in Haotian Sect know the chief priest of Seagod Island."
At this moment, Tang Xiao remembered that his grandfather knew Poseidon Douluo Poseidon, so he immediately used the tiger's skin as a banner.
"Yoho! You, the Hammer Sect, still want to get involved with Seagod Island? Who do you think Seagod Douluo is?"
Ye Liangchen looked at Tang Xiao and realized that he actually wanted to pull Poseidon out, not knowing that the real person was right here.
"Senior Poseidon was in love with my grandfather Tang Chen... Your Ice God Island is also on the sea. Can you spare us for the sake of Sea God Island?"
Tang Xiao immediately started talking about everything about Tang Chen and Poseidon, describing Poseidon as if she were his own grandmother.
"Haha...! Sect Master Tang is really good at building relationships. As far as I know, Senior Poseidon and Senior Tang Chen are neither lovers nor husband and wife. At best, they are just friends who have met once. They haven't even started dating yet. You feel too good about yourself."
"Besides, Senior Tang Chen has been missing for decades. He might have died a long time ago. Are you sure that Senior Poseidon will keep waiting?"
Ye Liangchen was almost amused. Poseidon's love mind had already shifted, but the other party was still taking advantage of the relationship with Poseidon Island.
"Sister Bobo, you now have another grandson." Ye Liangchen teased to Poseidon through soul transmission.
"What grandson? The Haotian Sect is just as you said. They just want to use me as a tool."
Poseidon rolled his eyes at Ye Liangchen, thinking of what Ye Liangchen had said before. Now it has come true. Before he even revealed his identity, others took the initiative to curry favor with him.
"Breath of Ice Dragon."
Ye Liangchen activated the soul bone skill of the Water Dragon King's left arm and attacked the 30-meter-high swan statue in front of the palace.
"hold head high…"
“Shua…”
In an instant, a dragon roar sounded, and a huge blue ice dragon emerged from Ye Liangchen's left arm, hovering in the air, and sprayed a water-blue attack wave towards the huge swan statue in the palace.
"Bang…"
Under the attack of the extreme power of the ice element, the 30-meter-high swan statue collapsed and turned into fragments. The temperature within a radius of one kilometer also dropped sharply, and the biting cold made the backs of those present shiver.
"ah…"
Many timid nobles screamed in fear, especially some women who cried out of fear.
"I'm sorry, I didn't stop my hand for a moment and the damage was a bit too much." Ye Liangchen looked at the people below with a smile, thinking: The power of a million-year soul bone is enormous.
"My Lords, please stop. We can discuss everything."
"Prince Avalanche is still young and ignorant. Please forgive his ignorance, my Lords."
Prince Xuexing was so frightened when he saw the 30-meter-tall swan statue of the Tiandou Empire suddenly turned into pieces, and he quickly apologized to Ye Liangchen and Poseidon.
"We saw the wanted poster issued by your royal family on the street. Old man, I have to say, you are really brave!"
"A Level 99 expert is wanted. Do you know what that means?"
Ye Liangchen knew that the wanted order must have been deliberately issued by Xue Beng to establish his authority, so he deliberately brought up the matter to see how the imperial family would react.
"Sir, we are wrong. We will cancel it immediately. Here are 5 million gold soul coins as compensation for the loss of reputation of the two adults."
"What do you think?"
Xue Xing immediately took out a gold soul coin card with a limit of 5 million and threw it to Ye Liangchen to express his sincerity.
"Old man, is our reputation loss worth 5 million?" Ye Liangchen looked at Xue Xing with disdain.
"Sir, we will pay another 5 million in compensation. What do you think?" Xue Xing immediately took out another 5 million yuan coin and threw it to Ye Liangchen.
"Old man, since you are so sincere, we will not pursue you."
“Whoosh…”
Ye Liangchen put away the card with 10 million gold and silver coins, then pulled Poseidon, activated the Wind and Thunder Wings, flew a thousand meters high, and disappeared from everyone's sight in a few seconds, leaving everyone in the palace in disarray in the wind.
"call…"
Everyone in the palace breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two powerful men disappear.
"Bang…!"
"Damn it! I won't be a human if I don't take revenge for this."
Prince Avalanche was possessed by a spirit of drama and punched the ground, shouting in anger.
The others looked at the avalanche as if he were a fool.
"Fourth brother, please stop making trouble. You are ruining the royal family."
Princess Xue Ke cried and complained to Xue Beng, saying that if her royal brother had not asked the auction house to resume slave auctions, they would not have provoked those two peerless powerful men.
"Pah...! Don't you think you've caused enough trouble?" Xue Xing slapped Xue Beng in the face, feeling that this guy was a jinx.
In order to clean up his nephew's mess, Prince Xuexing made the royal family pay 10 million in compensation. At this moment, his heart was bleeding.
"Marshal Ge Long, immediately order people to tear up all the wanted posters in Tiandou City, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."
Prince Xuexing saw that Xue Beng was unable to handle the heavy responsibility, so he took on the role of regent and presided over the affairs of the court.
"As you command, Your Highness."
Marshal Ge Long immediately ordered his men to handle the matter, otherwise it would be troublesome if those two strong men attacked the palace again.
"Prince Xuexing, let His Majesty rest in peace immediately!"
At this time, Ning Fengzhi remembered what the young man said before, that the memorial service would definitely affect the lives of ordinary people in Tiandou City, so he immediately suggested to Xue Xing that they should stop holding it.
"Master Ning is right."
Prince Xuexing immediately ordered his men to carry the coffin of Emperor Xue out of the palace and bury him.
