Tang San was panicked for a moment.
As a Tang Sect disciple, he always carried hidden weapons on him. In his sleeves, he had hidden arrows of the same type as the murder weapon. If anyone discovered this, he would be charged with regicide.
Regicide was a heinous crime. If he was allowed to do so, Tang San's name would be forever nailed to the history of the Heaven Dou Empire and despised by everyone.
"Your Highness, I, Tang San, have acted uprightly and honestly. I did not attempt to assassinate Your Majesty." Tang San explained again.
Xue Qinghe said coldly: "Since it wasn't you who did it, why don't you accept the inspection? Is there something wrong with you?"
The fourth elder felt that something was fishy. No matter how capable Tang San was, he would not be stupid enough to assassinate Xue Ye at this time.
Recalling what Xue Xing had said, he suddenly realized that they had been ambushed.
"Little kid, don't slander me. I have never seen this sleeve arrow before, how can it have anything to do with us!"
Xue Qinghe sneered and said calmly, "My teacher, Sect Master Ning, once told me about purchasing hidden weapons from Tang San. And the weapon Tang San used to commit the crime was exactly the same as the hidden weapon I saw at the beginning."
"My teacher and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect have been destroyed. Could it be that the disciples of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect came here to assassinate me?"
For a moment, Tang San and others were speechless.
After a while of silence, Tang San finally figured it out. Since Xue Qinghe had joined forces with the Spirit Hall, and the Spirit Hall had previously attacked the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, it would not be difficult to obtain the Silent Sleeve Arrow.
As luck would have it, Tang Yuehua informed Xue Qinghe in advance that she was coming. With so much time, it was not difficult for Xue Qinghe to set up an assassination scene.
"Prince Xue Qinghe, it seems that you have indeed betrayed the empire and made a secret deal with the Spirit Hall!" Tang San said in a deep voice.
He only hoped that the guards would become suspicious of Xue Qinghe after hearing what he said, thus buying time for his escape.
Unfortunately, he had miscalculated, these people were transferred from the Spirit Hall by Xue Qinghe, and they were only loyal to Xue Qinghe!
"This is simply nonsense. Someone come and capture Tang San. I want to let the world know who attacked my father." As he spoke, a soldier at the side handed the Soul Guidance Device to Xue Qinghe.
The angle of this shot is very tricky, and anyone looking at the content in the picture would think that Tang San assassinated Xue Ye.
Seeing the soldiers getting closer and closer, the Fourth Elder shouted angrily, and the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Spirit appeared in his hand. Then nine soul rings of yellow, purple, black, and black appeared under his feet.
"Let me see who dares to take action!"
"Protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The guards quickly stood in front of Xue Qinghe and escorted him slowly out of the bedroom.
"Tang San, you really came prepared. You even invited the strong men from the Haotian Sect, and you still said that you didn't want to attack my father." Xue Qinghe shouted loudly.
Tang San had no way to defend himself. Since the Fourth Elder had been exposed, he simply fought his way out of the Heaven Dou Empire Palace.
As for the Tiandou Empire, it certainly cannot stay there in the future.
…
The assassination on the snowy night quickly spread throughout the palace.
Countless soldiers quickly surrounded the bedroom, waiting for the moment Tang San came out, and they would bring him to justice!
“Tang San, just surrender obediently. Once I have investigated thoroughly, I will give you justice.” Xue Qinghe was protected by the soldiers behind him, and he shouted loudly in the direction of Tang San.
With Han Yu's reminder, he would definitely not reveal his true identity.
Even if someone from the Spirit Hall appears later, as long as he is still Xue Qinghe, he will definitely be able to inherit the throne.
Xue Ye is dead, and as long as Xue Qinghe is alive, he will be the first-in-line heir to the Tiandou Empire.
“Xue Qinghe, you betrayed the empire and wanted to harm me.” Tang San shouted, and six black, purple, black and black soul rings appeared under his feet.
"Your Highness, please retreat first. Leave this to us." Roxon, the leader of the Royal Knights, turned around and said.
"Captain Roxon, you must rescue our father's body." Xue Qinghe gave the order, and then, surrounded by a group of soldiers, he evacuated with Xue Ke.
At the same time, while most of the guards in the palace were transferred away, Han Yu came to the treasure house according to the map provided by Xue Qinghe.
The treasure house is located underground in the palace, and there is only one exit. Once ordinary thieves are trapped here, there is no chance of escape.
Looking at the ten-meter-high gate in front of him, Han Yu laughed, "The heritage of the Tiandou Empire for nearly a thousand years is all here."
If the imperial palace treasury is plundered, the Tiandou Empire will soon go bankrupt after Xue Qinghe ascends the throne. Han Yu is not a greedy person. His only goal is the Hanhai Qiankun Cover. He will not touch the other treasures.
After lowering the hood, a ball of milky white flame appeared in Han Yu's palm.
The scorching flames fell on the gate, and in a moment a hole large enough for one person to pass through was burned out.
Without thinking too much, Han Yu quickly got in.
The treasury of the palace was very large, and its scale was similar to that of the palace on the ground. If the palace was attacked, Xue Ye could take all the royal children and hide here for several months.
The roads inside are so complicated that it would be difficult for ordinary people to get out without a map.
Unfortunately, all these anti-theft facilities were useless in Han Yu's eyes. With the topographic map obtained by Xue Qinghe and using his mental power to clear the way, he would not get lost at all.
Half an incense stick later, he successfully arrived at the warehouse where the national treasure was stored.
There are fifteen national treasures in the Tiandou Empire, and each one of them is enough to cause rivers of blood.
"There are actually 100,000-year soul bones. It seems that the Tiandou Empire is richer than I thought." Han Yu sighed in his heart.
In the original time and space, even at the last moment, the Tiandou Empire did not take out this soul bone. And among these national treasures, in Xue Ye's eyes, the value of the Vast Sea Universe Cover is probably the lowest. After all, the function of this soul guide is unknown. Although it is a national treasure set by the ancestors, in Xue Ye's eyes, it is probably not as real as a painting.
As for the hundred thousand year old soul bone, I think it will only be bestowed upon the Titled Douluo who is the guardian of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Han Yu had never seen the appearance of the Vast Sea Universe Cover, but he could tell at a glance the special soul power fluctuations it emitted.
Just as he reached out to take it, an old and powerful voice sounded behind him.
"After so many years, I never thought that before I retired, I would see a thief coming here. Haha, it seems that you did a lot of homework before leaving."
Han Yu was not flustered. He turned around slowly and his eyes happened to meet the other person's.
"Old sir, I will only take away the Vast Sea Universe Cover and will not touch anything else." Han Yu said lightly.
"If you had taken something else, you wouldn't have made it here alive." The old man smiled faintly and said, "Young man, if you come here and don't speak, it means you're stealing. If you speak, it's not stealing, it's robbing. I have been guarding this place for your majesty for many years, and there has never been a thief in the treasure house. I didn't expect to run into you today."
Han Yu retracted his gaze and asked in a cold voice: "I don't want to do it. If you let me take my things and leave, maybe you can still retire."
"Haha, you're joking." The old man shook his head, and a dead wooden scepter appeared in his hand.
"You are Xuefeng!" Han Yu said in surprise.
The opponent's martial spirit is exactly the same as recorded.
The man in front of him was Xue Ye's bodyguard. Because of his hard work and great achievements, he was given the surname "Xue" after Xue Ye ascended the throne.
According to records, this man disappeared after he ascended the throne on a snowy night. Unexpectedly, he was arranged to guard here.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, there are still people who remember my name. It's really rare." Xuefeng laughed.
Suddenly, his eyes turned cold, and a powerful soul power wave erupted in his body.
"Sixth soul skill, dead tree revives in spring!"
"Control-type soul master." Han Yu curled his lips.
This kind of wood-attributed soul master was just restrained by his strange fire.
He flicked his fingers lightly, and a light green flame burned the attacking roots to ashes.
"Fire attribute soul master." Xue Feng's face suddenly became extremely solemn, "Seventh soul skill, martial soul true body."
The dead wood scepter transformed into a towering tree, with emerald green branches and leaves growing rapidly.
With Xuefeng's gentle wave of his hand, these branches and leaves flew towards Han Yu like flying blades.
"Strange Fire Field, Strange Fire Transformation, Yin and Yang Pisces!"
The moment the domain spread out, the yin and yang flames turned into two fish and swam around Han Yu.
The flying branches and leaves were completely blocked by the two fish.
"Old senior, I have no intention of making an enemy of you." As he spoke, Han Yu hooked his right hand, and the Vast Sea Universe Cover fell into his hand.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Put the thing back." Xuefeng was furious, and the eighth soul ring under his feet became brighter.
"Old sir, see you later." After saying that, Han Yu quickly fled.
The Yin-Yang fish formed a curtain of fire behind him, blocking Xue Feng's attack.
"Asshole, where are you running to!" Xuefeng shouted angrily and chased after him quickly.
…
Inside the palace, Tang San and the four elders successfully broke through.
Most of the Royal Knights were wiped out by them, and Captain Roxxon was killed in the battle.
But this is the imperial palace after all, and the armies of the Tiandou Empire soon came to support from all directions.
"Tang San, you go first. The mission has failed, and you must leave the Heaven Dou Empire next." Seeing the army of flying spirit masters gradually surrounding them, the fourth elder picked up Tang San and threw him out of the palace.
The fourth elder was old, and he could not exert his full strength. Moreover, the martial soul fusion skills of the Royal Knights were not so easy to deal with. If they dragged on, they would only be killed.
Outside the palace, seeing Tang San being thrown out, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong quickly took him to a teahouse nearby.
Ning Fengzhi hurriedly asked, "Xiao San, what happened? Why did a fight break out in the palace?"
Ever since the sounds of fighting were heard in the palace, he and Gu Rong came to the outskirts of the palace to investigate the situation.
Now that Tang San was thrown out, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Tang San frowned and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Ning, we have fallen into a trap. Xue Qinghe placed a silent sleeve arrow in the bedding of Emperor Xue Ye in advance. When I took his pulse, the silent sleeve arrow suddenly flew away..."
"What? You actually attempted to assassinate His Majesty!" Gu Rong raised his eyebrows and his tone became heavier.
Ning Fengzhi said, "Uncle Gu, there may be something fishy going on here. I know Xiao San's character. He would never try to assassinate His Majesty."
Tang San added: "Uncle Ning, maybe Xue Qinghe has secretly defected to the Spirit Hall."
He told Ning Fengzhi the evidence presented by Xue Xing and Xue Avalanche.
"The Fourth Elder hasn't come out yet. Uncle Gu, let's go save them first. I'll go find Qinghe to discuss this matter. Xiaosan, you stay here and don't go out for the time being."
After saying that, Gu Rong rushed into the palace with Ning Fengzhi.
At the same time, Xuefeng left the treasure house in order to hunt down Han Yu.
The door of the treasure house has the function of isolating soul power, and Xuefeng had no idea that there was unrest in the outside world.
When he sensed the movement in the palace, he didn't care about Han Yu and hurried to the battlefield.
The Fourth Elder's soul power was greatly depleted, and the speed at which he swung the Clear Sky Hammer was much slower than before.
Looking at the endless stream of Tiandou Empire soldiers, he snorted coldly: "Is this the only strength of the Tiandou Empire?"
Titled Douluo can fly in the air, but flying is not the strong point of the Clear Sky Hammer Spirit Hall. Once it leaves the ground, the power of the Clear Sky Hammer will be greatly reduced.
Moreover, there were many flying soul masters hovering over the palace. If he took off into the air, he would be in danger of falling into the tiger's mouth.
The palace was attacked, and the powerful men worshipped by the Tiandou Empire surrounded it.
"The eighth soul skill, Earth Hell!" Xue Feng who arrived immediately released the eighth soul skill.
The soldiers of the Tiandou Empire did not recognize him, but looking at his clothes and the target of his attack, they naturally understood that this man was here to help them.
"Everyone has it, forming a martial soul fusion technique."
At the general's command, countless soldiers released their soul power.
In mid-air, a pair of huge hands appeared - Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage to the Lord, as if they were going to beat the Four Elders to death.
"Hmph, the ninth soul skill, Haotian Mountain-Suppressing Fall!" The fourth elder did not surrender and released his soul skill immediately.
Ning Fengzhi, who had just arrived here, saw this and immediately said, "Uncle Gu, save people first."
Gu Rong nodded and jumped up.
"Ninth soul skill, Bone Dragon goes out to sea, soars into the sky, free and unrestrained, Fuyao level three, wind follows you."
"Bone Dragon!"
"roar!"
A black bone dragon, which was dozens of meters in size, soared into the sky and shattered the soul skills of everyone in the Tiandou Empire one by one like a whirlwind.
Seeing that the reinforcements had arrived, the Fourth Elder immediately gave up using his soul skills and quickly retreated to Ning Fengzhi's side.
"Gu Douluo, Ning Fengzhi, are you going to betray the Tiandou Empire?" A general of the Tiandou Empire shouted loudly.
"I already know about the attack on Your Majesty. There is something fishy about this matter. I will discuss it with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before making a decision." Ning Fengzhi said calmly.
It's a pity that now that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has been destroyed, even if Ning Fengzhi survives, so what? They can no longer have the influence they had before. Ning Fengzhi is now just a clown.
"Humph, Tang San and this old fellow are planning to assassinate His Majesty. Sect Leader Ning is trying to shield the criminals. Come, follow me and take them down!"
Ning Fengzhi frowned.
The only one who would benefit from a fight to the death with the Tiandu Empire's army would be the Spirit Hall.
In order to prevent the situation from escalating, Ning Fengzhi said in a deep voice: "Uncle Gu, let's retreat first."
Gu Rong waved his hand casually, and layers of bone spurs formed a solid fortress to block them.
Then, he used his spatial ability to take Ning Fengzhi and the four elders away.
