Chapter 78 Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) ascends the throne and becomes emperor.

(Please give me recommendation tickets and monthly tickets!)
Tiandou City, Imperial Palace
The majestic palace stands tall, exuding a solemn atmosphere. In this palace, countless power struggles and conspiracies are intertwined, forming a huge and complex court world.

"How is father's health?" Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) asked, with a look of worry on her face.

Outside the bedroom of Emperor Xue Ye, "Qian Renxue" led a group of loyal ministers and waited quietly for news.

"Your Highness, His Majesty's condition is very serious. I'm afraid he won't survive the night." A senior healing spirit master whispered, his voice full of helplessness.

Upon hearing the news, Xue Qinghe's face turned as pale as paper.

"Alas, my father is gone, what should I do?" Xue Qinghe sighed. His uncle Xue Xing holds half of the empire's military power. If he takes the opportunity to launch a coup, how can he resist?

At this moment, a general quietly walked to "Xue Qinghe" and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, since His Majesty is beyond redemption, we cannot sit and wait for death. It is better to take the initiative and catch them all in one fell swoop before Xue Xing and the others notice it!" As he said that, he made a throat-cutting gesture, indicating that he would take decisive action.

A trace of determination flashed across Xue Qinghe's eyes, but it was soon replaced by pain. She shook her head slowly and said softly, "But, he is my uncle after all."

The general urged anxiously, "Your Highness, Xue Xing has been harboring evil intentions and has been trying to usurp the throne. Now is not the time to hesitate. We must act immediately, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. Please give the order!"

"Xue Qinghe" gritted his teeth, and finally, he took a deep breath, looked at the generals with a firm gaze, nodded, and signaled them to prepare for action.

A group of generals and ministers said that they were all from the prince's faction, and would definitely not let them go once Xue Xing came to power. The only way now was to get rid of Xue Xing and help Qian Renxue take the throne.

"Hey, generals, please, I need to go to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."

"Xue Qinghe" closed his eyes in pain, and opened them after a moment with a firm look, as if he had made some important decision.

After saying this, "he" took out a golden token from his arms and handed it to a confidant.

This token represents royal power and can mobilize the royal guards in Tiandou City.

The confidant who received the token immediately turned around and left, and began to carry out "Xue Qinghe's" orders.

At this moment, the entire Tiandou City was shocked by this order.

Five thousand imperial guards and one hundred spirit masters quickly assembled and headed towards Prince Xuexing's residence.

Ning Fengzhi, the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, soon learned the news.

He frowned, his expression was serious, and his tone was slightly angry.

"Xue Xing ran away? Where did he go?"

Ning Fengzhi's voice echoed in the study, with a hint of anxiety.

He had been keeping a close eye on Xue Xing's movements, but this time he still managed to escape.

What's worse is that Xuexing not only escaped by himself, but also took the avalanche with him.

This makes the situation extremely complicated and dangerous.

Xue Xing holds half of the empire's military power. If he decides to launch a rebellion, the entire Tiandou Empire will fall apart.

Although the Tiandou Empire is called an empire, it is actually a country similar to a federation.

The various kingdoms under the empire have long been operating on their own and are only nominally affiliated with the Tiandou Empire.

The empire seemed stable, but as soon as there was a problem, those kingdoms would immediately break away.

"Is there any movement from the Spirit Hall?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

With such a big event happening in Tiandou City, he didn't believe that the Spirit Hall would be completely unaware of it.

"No unusual movements have been detected yet." A man in black robes replied. "Master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." The voice of the guard came from outside the study.

"Let's go to the palace and send Xue Ye off for the last time." Ning Fengzhi stood up and walked out. The most important thing at this moment is to ensure that the prince can succeed to the throne smoothly. Even if Xue Xing wants to rebel, he has no advantage. After all, the prince is the legitimate heir.

If the situation is critical, Ning Fengzhi doesn't mind taking tough measures, maybe even killing Xue Xing.

The next morning, the news of Emperor Xue Ye's death spread throughout Tiandou City. With the support of Ning Fengzhi and other ministers, "Xue Qinghe" successfully ascended the throne and became emperor.
However, just one day later, Xue Xing launched a rebellion in the northern part of the empire and proclaimed Xue Beng as the new emperor.

On the third day, the several kingdoms that still nominally belonged to the empire suddenly announced their separation from the Tiandou Empire! This move shocked the entire continent, and people speculated why these kingdoms made such a decision.

However, something even more surprising happened - they had just left the Tiandou Empire and joined the Spirit Hall! This sudden change caught everyone off guard. The Spirit Hall's sphere of influence expanded rapidly, and the Tiandou Empire fell into an unprecedented predicament.

In less than a week, the Tiandou Empire was completely divided. The originally vast territory was now reduced to only three or four provinces. The empire's territory was severely reduced, and it was even smaller than some kingdoms. The name of the empire that once dominated the world was now only in name.

"I still underestimated the Spirit Hall..." Ning Fengzhi stood on the balcony of the palace, looking at the sky in the distance, and sighed heavily. As a wise strategist, he had always been vigilant against the Spirit Hall, but this time he did not expect the other party's means to be so sharp.

"Teacher, what should we do now?" Qian Renxue asked "worriedly"
"It's not difficult to deal with Xue Xing, but Wuhun Hall..." Ning Fengzhi frowned, with a trace of worry in his eyes. Although Xue Xing was a troublesome person, it was not difficult to deal with him with their strength. What really worried Ning Fengzhi was Wuhun Hall. Their strength and ambition made him feel uneasy.

The Spirit Hall's actions were too swift, and the Tiandou Empire had no time to react. Now, the empire was caught in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides, with the threat of the Spirit Hall on one side and the conspiracy of Xue Xing on the other. How to deal with this situation became a difficult problem facing Ning Fengzhi.

The evil ambitions of the Spirit Hall have been exposed, and unifying the continent to establish the Spirit Empire is Bibi Dong’s goal.

"Teacher, can we unite with the Haotian Sect and the Xingluo Empire to fight against the Spirit Hall?"

Qian Renxue asked.

"That's... unlikely."

Ning Fengzhi frowned and shook his head helplessly: "Haotian Sect has been in seclusion for many years, and no one knows how much strength it still has.

The Xingluo Empire, like the Spirit Hall, also has the ambition to unify the continent. If they were to cooperate with them, it would undoubtedly be like inviting a wolf into the house, with disastrous consequences.

Moreover, it is not in the interests of our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to confront the Spirit Hall. Unless the Haotian Sect can produce two Level 99 Ultimate Douluo, I will never easily stand against the Spirit Hall. "

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's answer, Qian Renxue's eyes flashed with a strange look, and she continued to ask tentatively: "What if I join the Spirit Hall?"

"Join the Spirit Hall?"

Ning Fengzhi's face changed drastically, and his heart was immediately filled with turmoil. He knew that the Spirit Hall had developed rapidly in recent years and its power was growing. If he chose to join, he might be able to get some protection.

But this will inevitably affect the current status of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. The Spirit Hall has always been very friendly to civilians, not only helping civilians awaken their spirits for free, but also providing many preferential policies.

As long as you become a soul master, before the soul master level, you can receive generous subsidies in the branch hall of the Wuhun Hall. However, where do these funds come from?
Since common people have no money, they can only obtain wealth from nobles and merchants.

Therefore, increasing taxes became an inevitable choice. If anyone dared not to pay taxes, they would be punished.

The annual income of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect actually exceeds the financial revenue of the entire kingdom!

In the area ruled by the Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had to pay a tax of up to 40%, which was too harsh and simply insane! But faced with such an overbearing requirement, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had no choice but to pay the tax obediently.

This is one of the reasons why Ning Fengzhi deeply hates the Spirit Hall.
