Chapter 327 A Net of Heaven and Earth?
"Rui'er, you're oversimplifying things." Tang Chuan sighed softly, took Xiao Rui'er's hand in his own, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Qian Renxue may admire me to some extent, and I do have a pretty good relationship with her. But you have to understand, the Spirit Hall is not under Qian Renxue's control now."
"The one who truly holds power in the Spirit Hall is Pope Bibi Dong, who sees me as a thorn in her side!"
"This woman is willing to sacrifice everything for power and her so-called goals, including her daughter. Qian Renxue is far from having absolute authority within the Spirit Hall, especially when it comes to the Spirit Hall's overall strategy and vital interests."
"Bibi Dong is absolutely hostile towards me and us, and she wants to get rid of us as soon as possible. She won't let us go just because Qian Renxue might soften her stance a little."
"Once the Heaven Dou Empire falls completely under the control of the Spirit Hall, her next goal will definitely be to integrate the empire's resources and wipe out all disobedient forces on the continent."
"Our Skywalker Academy, and everything related to me, will be the first to be affected!"
At this point, Tang Chuan, seeing Xiao Ruier's increasingly understanding look, continued, "Therefore, it's not enough for me to rely solely on Qian Renxue's uncertain relationship."
"Unless... we can find an opportunity to help Qian Renxue completely overwhelm Bibi Dong and regain absolute control of the Spirit Hall. Only then, when Qian Renxue holds both the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire in her hands, will she be able to truly act according to her own will."
"But now, we must first stop Bibi Dong from using this palace coup to completely turn the Heaven Dou Empire into her own backyard, where she can do whatever she wants! Otherwise, once the Spirit Hall has gained power, the price we pay for resisting will likely be ten or even a hundred times higher!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruier finally understood the seriousness and complexity of the matter.
This is not merely a change of imperial power in the Heaven Dou Empire, but an extension of the brutal internal struggle within the Spirit Hall, and they have long been caught in the eye of the storm.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Ruier's gaze hardened again, and she said solemnly:
"I understand. Then I'll definitely go with you! More strength means more certainty. And... if it really comes down to fighting Bibi Dong to the death, our Spirit Fusion Skill might play a special role. I'll talk to Uncle Di Tian about it."
Hearing this, Tang Chuan, seeing the unwavering determination in Xiao Ruier's eyes, knew he could no longer persuade her. After a moment of contemplation, he finally nodded and said:
"Alright, in that case, let's set off immediately, Crimson King!"
As his words fell to the ground.
A crimson figure emerged from the shadows of the nearby woods.
Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier nodded to each other, then flashed and leaped onto the back of the Crimson King.
"Let's go! Full speed ahead to Heaven Dou City!"
"roar--"
The Crimson King let out a long roar, and then his figure flashed, transforming into a crimson meteor that tore through the night sky, carrying the two of them, and sped towards the direction of Heavenly Dou City!
…………
Meanwhile, in a side hall of the imperial palace of the Heavenly Dou Empire.
Under Xue Qinghe's seemingly sincere invitation and watertight explanation.
Although Tang Xiao, Ning Fengzhi, and the others had many doubts, they decided to put aside their doubts for the time being and follow Xue Qinghe to the so-called side hall to rest, with the aim of making a show of force and probing the truth. In addition, the other party was, after all, the nominal crown prince of the empire.
"Boom!"
However, just as they stepped into the ornately decorated side hall, the two heavy, gilded doors behind them suddenly slammed shut without anyone touching them, followed by a dull thud!
"Huh?!" Upon seeing this, Tang Xiao's expression changed drastically. He turned around abruptly, his sharp gaze shooting like lightning at Xue Qinghe, who still wore a gentle smile. His voice suddenly turned cold as he said:
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this? Closing the door?!"
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were instantly alert. Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword emitted a slight humming sound, and several Haotian Sect elders' soul power surged, their Haotian Hammers already loosely gripped.
Faced with Tang Xiao's questioning, the gentle expression on Xue Qinghe's face quickly receded like the tide, replaced by a smile that was a mixture of coldness and mockery. He clapped his hands lightly, and the applause sounded particularly jarring in the silent hall.
"What do you mean?"
"It doesn't mean anything special. I just feel that... this side hall has good feng shui and a large enough layout, so I would like to invite a few respected elders... to rest here in peace."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao and the others' expressions changed drastically.
At this moment, inside the side hall, the true intentions were revealed! The killing intent was fully exposed!
"Retreat!" Ning Fengzhi reacted extremely quickly. He shouted and moved to retreat with Sword Douluo toward the door that had just been closed, trying to force the door open or find an opening.
However, he had barely taken a step.
"Buzz!" "Buzz!"
Two immense, terrifying auras, as heavy as mountains, suddenly rose from the shadows on either side of the gate! Immediately afterwards, two golden figures appeared out of thin air, taking a step forward and firmly blocking the path to the gate.
They were two middle-aged men who looked almost identical, with ancient faces and sharp, eagle-like eyes. They were dressed in simple, close-fitting clothes, and each held a long staff that was dark gold and carved with ferocious dragon patterns! The pressure emanating from the staffs made the air freeze!
These two are none other than Thousand-Pound Douluo and Demon-Slaying Douluo!
The two brothers are skilled at combined attacks, and their strength is unfathomable!
At the same time, the light and shadow behind Xue Qinghe also distorted, and two figures slowly solidified, which were the Serpent Spear Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo who had been lurking here for a long time!
The four of them were subtly connected, forming an encirclement around Qian Renxue.
But this is not over yet!
"Whoosh whoosh-!"
Behind the curtains and in the shadows of the beams and pillars around the hall.
Countless figures dressed in black Soul Master robes, their faces covered with black cloths, revealing only a pair of cold eyes, emerged silently like ghosts!
Their actions were swift and orderly, and they instantly occupied all the advantageous positions and exits in the hall. The light of their spirit rings flickered, and their cold killing intent completely enveloped Tang Xiao, Ning Fengzhi and the others!
In the blink of an eye, this seemingly ordinary side hall had transformed into a vast and inescapable net.
Two Super Douluo, two Title Douluo, countless elite Soul Masters and Death Warriors... No one expected that the Spirit Hall would go to such lengths to wipe out the remaining core forces of the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, setting up such a meticulously crafted trap!
Looking at the scene before me.
Tang Xiao, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and the others felt their hearts sink to the bottom.
They finally realized that the so-called crown prince was actually the Spirit Hall's deepest pawn, and that they had already stepped into a carefully prepared trap with no chance of survival!
"Alright... everyone, will you rather end your own lives and leave your corpses intact?"
"Or... do you need my people to lend you a hand?"
Looking at Tang Xiao and the others who were now completely surrounded, Xue Qinghe calmly straightened his sleeves, the cold smile on his lips becoming more pronounced, and said in a deep voice.
Faced with this sudden and deadly situation, and Xue Qinghe's undisguised killing intent, Ning Fengzhi forcibly suppressed his shock, stepped forward, and stared intently at the once gentle and refined face that was now cold and unfamiliar, and questioned sharply:
"Xue Qinghe! What exactly do you intend to do?! You are the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire! The rightful heir apparent! This vast land will be yours sooner or later!"
"Why did you collude with the Spirit Hall and commit such a heinous act of regicide and usurpation?! Emperor Xue Ye... he is your own father!!"
He attempted to make a final attempt to sway the public with the principles of father-son relationships and the loyalty between ruler and subject.
Even the slightest chance to shake the other person's mind is worthwhile.
However, what responded to him was a loud laugh from Xue Qinghe, full of sarcasm and endless chill.
"Hahaha... Father? My father?"
"Ning Fengzhi, Ning Fengzhi, you were truly kept in the dark until your death!"
"My biological father died when I was just a few years old!"
"He...does he even deserve to be my father? He's nothing but a...pathetic wretch I've manipulated for over a decade!"
These words were like a thunderclap!
The color drained from Ning Fengzhi's face instantly, his pupils contracted sharply, and countless clues, doubts, and the completely different demeanor and tone of Xue Qinghe before him, as well as the icy indifference towards Emperor Xue Ye, rapidly pieced together in his mind like shattered pieces of a mirror!
Followed by.
A terrifying guess, so terrifying it made his soul tremble, suddenly surfaced!
He abruptly raised his finger and pointed at Xue Qinghe, his finger trembling slightly with extreme shock and anger, his voice hoarse and shrill with disbelief, saying:
"Could it be that you...you're not...at all..."
