Douluo: Reincarnation, the King's Power Never Dies, Unrivaled in the World

Chapter 248 Assassination of Avalanche
The sky gradually darkened, and the candlelight in the palace flickered. Not long after Prince Xuexing hurried away, a soldier in armor walked over quickly and knelt on one knee: "Your Highness, Marshal Gelong is on his way."

Xue Beng nodded slightly, still looking into the distance.

Now they just need to wait for Marshal Ge Long to come and communicate before cutting off the ties. After all, if the Wuhun Empire takes this opportunity to attack the Tiandou Empire, he is in a position as an emperor, which is indeed difficult to protect.

You know, the Wuhun Empire is currently ready to make a move. If they knew that Marshal Golong in the border area had left the border, they would definitely launch a large-scale attack on the area where they are?

Soon, Marshal Gelong strode into the palace. He was a burly man, exuding the majesty of a veteran of many battles.

As a top-level Soul Douluo, Marshal Ge Long can be considered an outstanding figure in the entire Tiandou Empire. Even some Titled Douluos dare not confront him head-on.

After all, Marshal Ge Long's Jiaozi spirit is extremely powerful. If he can break through to the Titled Douluo realm, he will definitely be a hero of the Tiandou Empire.

"His Royal Highness."

Marshal Ge Long saluted with his fists clasped.

Xue Beng turned around with a gentle smile on his face: "Marshal, there is no need to be so polite. The situation is complicated now, and this prince still needs the Marshal's support."

Marshal Ge Long raised his head, his eyes firm, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do my best."

Just then, a breeze blew by, blowing up the curtains of the palace.

Xue Beng's eyes turned cold again. He approached Marshal Ge Long and whispered, "Marshal, we need to pay more attention to the Wang Quan family. Although Wang Quan Wu Mu is young and promising, his mind is hard to predict. If I can use him, he will be a great help; if not..."

Avalanche did not continue speaking, but Marshal Goron already understood what he meant.

Marshal Ge Long frowned slightly: "Your Highness, the Wang Quan family has great prestige in the empire, and we must not act rashly. Moreover, Wang Quan Wu Mu is very powerful, so we need to make long-term plans."

The Wang Quan family is extremely powerful in the entire Douluo Continent, and the Immortal Emperor had already said that no emperor is allowed to touch the Wang Quan family.

After all, if they offended the Wangquan family, they would probably be completely destroyed in this world just like the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus family last time.
Avalanche sneered: "Prestige? In this power struggle, prestige may not be able to protect them. Marshal, just follow my instructions."

Although Marshal Gelong had doubts in his heart, he could only nod in agreement.

Marshal Ge Long was uneasy after receiving the order, but his face remained calm. He knew that in the vortex of power in the palace, if he was not careful, he would be doomed.

At this time, the night has completely enveloped the palace. The stars are twinkling, but they cannot penetrate the haze of conspiracy.

Marshal Ge Long was thinking about the strategy to deal with the Wang Quan family. He understood Wang Quan Wu Mu's influence and the complex forces behind the Wang Quan family.

If they really become enemies with the royal family, the Tiandou Empire will probably fall into civil strife, but they have to obey the orders of Prince Xue Beng.

Xue Beng looked out the window at the night again, and kept making plans in his mind. He knew that if he wanted to keep his throne, he had to keep all the forces firmly in his hands.

The threat of the Wuhun Empire was like a thorn in his side, and the aristocratic families in the country were also a big worry for him. He had to find a way out of this complicated situation, a way that would allow him to become an eternal emperor.

Marshal Ge Long raised his head slightly, looked at Xue Beng and said, "Your Highness, I think we can first send someone to secretly monitor the actions of the Wangquan family and understand their movements before making any plans. Any rash action will only alert the enemy."

Xue Beng nodded thoughtfully: "What the Marshal said is absolutely right. However, the person who monitors us must be absolutely loyal and reliable."

At this moment, a palace maid came slowly with tea and snacks. She lowered her head and walked lightly. When she came closer, she knelt slightly to salute.

Xue Beng glanced at the palace maid inadvertently, but found that there seemed to be something strange hidden in the palace maid's eyes.

Marshal Gelong also noticed something was wrong, and he calmly placed his hand on the sword at his waist. The maid slowly stood up, suddenly pulled out a dagger from the tea tray, and stabbed at Xue Bian.

Marshal Gelong reacted quickly, drew his sword and blocked Xue Beng. With a clang, the dagger was blocked by the sword.

The maid failed to strike, so she turned around and stabbed Marshal Gelong again. Marshal Gelong dodged to the side and kicked the maid. The maid fell to the ground, but she got up again in an instant, her eyes full of determination.

"Who sent you to assassinate me?" Xue Beng shouted angrily.

The maid sneered: "Today is the day you die."

After that, he rushed towards Xue Bian again. Marshal Ge Long fought with the palace maid. Although he was very strong, he was in this small palace and had to protect Xue Bian. For a while, he was unable to use his full strength.

After a hard fight, Marshal Gelong finally subdued the maid. He pulled off her veil and found a strange face.

"Your Highness, there must be a mastermind behind this assassination."

Marshal Goron said with a frown.

Xue Beng's face was gloomy: "Investigate! We must find out who wants to kill me."

After some interrogation, the maid finally confessed that it was the Xingluo Empire who sent her to assassinate him. It turned out that the Xingluo Empire had always coveted the throne and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get rid of Xue Beng.

After Xue Beng learned about this, he became even more furious. He decided not to sit and wait for death anymore, but to take the initiative.

"Marshal, you will immediately lead your troops to the palace where the Xing Luo Empire is stationed and capture everyone inside."

Avalanche ordered.

Marshal Gelong took the order and left. Peace returned to the palace, but everyone knew that this was only the calm before the storm.

………………

Tiandou Empire, Tiandou City.

Marshal Ge Long, with a team of elite soldiers, rushed towards the Xing Luo Empire’s base in Tiandou with great momentum.

Along the way, the sound of horse hooves broke the silence of the night.

When they arrived outside the residence, they saw that the palace was brightly lit and there was a faint atmosphere of tension.

Marshal Goron waved his hand, and the soldiers quickly surrounded the palace. He strode towards the main gate of the palace with weapons in hand.

The Star Luo Empire envoys in the palace became alert upon hearing the noise.

The leading envoy stood on the steps in front of the palace and shouted, "Marshal Gelong, what do you mean?"

Marshal Ge Long's eyes were cold, and he responded loudly: "An assassin has revealed that your Xingluo Empire attempted to assassinate my Emperor Tiandou. Today I am here to arrest him."

The messenger's face changed and he said angrily: "This is slander. Tiandou, please don't stir up unnecessary disputes."

The two sides were deadlocked, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense. Marshal Gelong said no more and signaled the soldiers to prepare for a strong attack.
