Douluo Dalu: White Tiger

Chapter 42 Tiandou Royal Family
As soon as night fell, Dugu Bo, Xue Xing and two others began to check the villages near Tiandou City to see if there were any evil soul masters.

On an ancient tree, a man wrapped in a black robe looked at Dugu Bo and Xue Xing with contempt, and headed straight towards the Tiandou Palace...

Qian Renxue also walked out of her room and headed towards Emperor Xue Ye’s study.

Emperor Xue Ye, who was reviewing government affairs, saw the visitor and asked directly, "Qinghe, what do you want?"

"Father, I encountered something that I didn't understand while practicing, so I came here to ask you." Qian Renxue and Emperor Xue Ye chatted with each other, but they had no intention of leaving the study.

Qian Renxue showed an expression of seeking advice with an open mind, which made Emperor Xue Ye very satisfied. Suddenly, the palace was lit up with fire, and the shouts of maids and guards continued to ring out, which seemed very chaotic.

Emperor Xue Ye slammed the table in anger and walked towards the door. Qian Renxue just followed behind him. As soon as the door opened, Xue Ye saw the maids and guards running in panic.

"Why are you panicking? Be quiet!" Emperor Xue Ye used his soul power to shout angrily, quieting everyone down.

Several maids immediately knelt down trembling with fear, and said in unison: "Your Majesty, an evil spirit master suddenly broke into the Second Prince's room and killed him."

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince was playing in the palace when a red light appeared, and the Third… Third Prince was also killed."

"The fourth... prince was also killed by the evil soul master, and many of his guards were also killed by him."

After the maids finished talking, Emperor Xue Ye's eyes widened. He couldn't believe it at all. Qian Renxue seemed to have heard something incredible. She sat on the ground with a dazed look in her eyes.

A man in black robe suddenly appeared on the roof opposite, and his hoarse voice echoed in the air: "I was wondering why I couldn't find the eldest prince of the Tiandou royal family. It turns out he was with you, Emperor Xue Ye. He was lucky today. Emperor Xue Ye, we will see each other again." After he finished speaking, the figure of the man in black robe flashed a few times and disappeared.

When Xue Ye heard this, he immediately realized that what the maid had just said was true. He felt his blood rushing up and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, almost falling to the ground.

Qian Renxue was quick to support Emperor Xue Ye and said with a tearful voice, "Father, you have to avenge my second, third, and fourth brothers!"

"Come here, mobilize the army, seal off Tiandou City for me, and hunt down the evil soul master. Find him alive or dead. At the same time, go to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect and ask Sect Master Ning to come over!"

"Qinghe, go back to your room for the time being and don't come out. I will send people to protect you day and night. You are now the only heir to my royal family, and nothing can happen to you!" Xue Ye's voice was a little sad.

"Then you have to be careful, father." Qian Renxue agreed, and the guards sent her back to her room, and the number of guards was constantly increasing.

Qian Renxue returned to the room, and the sad look on her face completely disappeared. When she saw the black-robed figure, her expression turned angry. Qian Renxue waved her hand, and a light golden light appeared on her body, returning to her original appearance.

Pointing at the man in black robe, she said angrily: "The plan Xiaoxuan and I made is not like this at all. Did Xiaoxuan ask you to do this, or did you tamper with the plan yourself!" Qian Renxue's chest heaved, and she was obviously extremely angry.

The black-robed man took off his cloak, and Ye Xishui's figure emerged from it. Ye Xishui bowed to Qian Renxue and said, "Madam, please calm down first. The master is in seclusion and doesn't know about this!"

"That means you tampered with the plan without permission. You are so bold. Do you know how great the risk is? Once exposed, not only will all my efforts be wasted, but the entire plan of the Spirit Hall will be completely disrupted. Can you take on this responsibility?" Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, her eyes full of anger.

"Madam, your method is too conservative. Following your way, it will not be possible to succeed in ten or even twenty years. Madam, do you want to waste your best years in the Tiandou royal family?" Ye Xishui said indifferently.

Qian Renxue was stunned, with a little confusion in her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Tomorrow, Emperor Xue Ye will certainly enthrone you as the crown prince. After killing Emperor Xue Ye, the mistress can legitimately ascend the throne. I am here to help the mistress stabilize the government. At that time, you only need to clean up the officials and take control of the military power. Madam, you don't have to waste your best years in the Tiandou royal family." Ye Xishui said without any concern.

Qian Renxue was filled with fear when she heard this, and she quickly said, "No, you can't do this, it's too risky. Xue Ye's death will cause a huge shock, and it may lead to uncontrollable things. I absolutely don't agree with you doing this!"

"Madam, Xue Ye has sent people to invite Ning Fengzhi from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Tomorrow, after you are canonized as the crown prince, you can just stay by Ning Fengzhi's side. I will take care of the other matters." Ye Xishui picked up his robe again and put it on.

"I order you not to do this!" Qian Renxue clenched her teeth, her little chest heaving.

"Madam, you don't have the right to order me around. You can only follow the plan now. Remember, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. As for the two Titled Douluo in the dark, it's best for them to hide first. If Ning Fengzhi finds out anything, all your efforts will be wasted." After he finished speaking, Ye Xishui jumped out of the window and disappeared into the darkness.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue gritted her teeth angrily, and finally lay on the bed without saying a word.

She can only do it according to Ye Xishui's method now, otherwise if something unexpected happens, all her efforts will be wasted. Qian Renxue will not rush to achieve success, and prefers to achieve her goals in the most stable way. In Qian Renxue's view, Ye Xishui's way of doing things is to rush to achieve success, which will produce many uncontrollable factors, making her dislike this way of doing things...

Tiandou City was quickly blocked by the army. Uniform footsteps were heard on the streets, and soldiers began to search the streets. They searched very carefully and would not forget any corner.

Dugu Bo and Xue Xing also walked in from outside the city. Xue Xing stopped a soldier and asked casually, "What happened? Why did you seal off Tiandou City?"

"Prince, an evil spirit master suddenly broke into the palace and killed three princes. Only the eldest prince escaped because he was asking questions in His Majesty's study. His Majesty asked us to seal off Tiandou City and search for the evil spirit master!"

Dugu Bo and Xue Xing looked at each other and hurried to the Tiandou Palace...
