Chapter 261 Speechless
As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell into a deathly silence.

After a few meaningful glances from Prince Xuexing, Emperor Xueye finally spoke.

"Someone, bring Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian here to me."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Ye Xinyu.

"Since someone is offering me a soul bone, why should I refuse the young master's kindness?"

Ye Xinyu simply smiled and did not reply.

Before long, a series of light footsteps were heard, and two guards carried a young man covered in blood into the main hall.

The young man was extremely weak at this moment; if someone hadn't been supporting him, he probably wouldn't have been able to walk.

Before this, he was a dazzling genius, only in his early twenties, who had already reached the Soul King level, and even could break through to the Soul Emperor level within two years.

And yet, this very person is now in such a sorry state.

The moment he saw Ye Xinyu, a glimmer of light shone in the young man's cloudy eyes.

"Young Master, I didn't rape her, please believe me."

Looking at the young man's empty arm, Ye Xinyu felt a mix of emotions.

Although he would probably be useless even if rescued, he would still be her person after all. If she hadn't recruited him, perhaps this calamity wouldn't have happened.

He sighed, and a blood-red bead suddenly appeared in his hand.

"Eat it."

Feng Xiaotian didn't hesitate and took it directly, swallowing it in one gulp.

After swallowing it, the previously weak energy gradually began to rise again. Although it did not reach its peak, it was no longer in a state where it could die at any moment.

It's a pity that, as my older sister absorbed the Fire Kirin Beast with the bloodline of the Kirin, the Blood Bodhi, such a valuable item, became increasingly rare.

Although its effect on increasing soul power is weak, it is truly powerful in terms of healing; as long as one is not dead, one can be kept alive.

Feeling that his physical condition had largely recovered, Feng Xiaotian's steps were no longer so unsteady.

Feeling the emptiness in his arms, Feng Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a little down.

"I'm sorry, young master, I probably won't be able to improve my cultivation level in the future."

"It's no big deal." Ye Xinyu waved her hand.

"There are many treasures in the world that can regenerate severed limbs. When we get back, I'll think of a way to help you recover."

"As for the soul bone, hmm."

At this moment, Ye Xinyu's gaze was indeed fixed on Emperor Xueye.

"What? You took the spirit bone from my Spirit Hall, and you're not going to give me an explanation?"

Although the soul bone was given to Feng Xiaotian, according to the unspoken rules of the continent, the soul bone bestowed upon someone must be taken back after their death.

It's just a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone; she doesn't really care about it.

After all, she possesses two soul bones that are 100,000 years old.

As for telling others, she's not stupid. Does she want people to think of her as Tang Sanzang?

After a moment's hesitation, Emperor Xueye spoke.

"I know nothing about the soul bone. It seems that some prison guard was greedy and did it. Now, the person has long since escaped to who knows where."

At this moment, Ye Xinyu was almost laughing in anger.

As expected, all these people in power are the same; all they do is shirk responsibility.

In the previous life, there were temporary workers; now in Douluo Continent, we should still push the problem out.

In short, they bear absolutely no responsibility.

Seeing that she couldn't get any more information, Ye Xinyu stopped wasting words.

"Your Majesty, may I ask you a question?" Emperor Xueye frowned, but still spoke.

"If there is anything else you wish to ask, please feel free to ask."

Ye Xinyu nodded, then gave a cold laugh.

"I remember that there has always been a band of wolf bandits numbering over a thousand on the border of the Heavenly Dou Empire. They burned, killed, looted, raped, and plundered, committing all sorts of evil deeds."

"Since you're so righteous, caring so much about so-called rapists, why don't you send a large army to wipe them out?"

"Could it be that they're afraid of them?"

Upon hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo couldn't help but laugh. These words were practically rubbing the faces of the imperial nobles into the ground.

The key is that there's no way to refute it.

Could it be that he's genuinely scared?

Wolf bandits are monsters that are half-human and half-spirit beasts, roughly the same kind as Tang San, whom this little girl fought before.

Although they are different species, they are all roughly the same, being half-human and half-spirit beasts.

However, unlike others, these wolf bandits are extremely brutal and bloodthirsty. They eat the males and take the females back to reproduce. After the cubs are born and the lactation period is over, these women will not be spared either and will be eaten as well.

The reason why the Heavenly Dou Empire did not want to deal with them was very simple: 500 wolf bandits could easily defeat an army of 10,000.

There are now nearly a thousand wolf bandits on the border, whose combat power is roughly equivalent to several thousand Soul Masters.

In fact, due to their bloodthirsty nature, wolf bandits are even stronger in combat.

In other words, at least 10 troops must be dispatched to encircle and suppress them; otherwise, it will be very difficult to achieve anything.

Most importantly, those things are all in the jungle, making it difficult for a large army to clear them out.

Of course, if Emperor Xueye is willing to send out thousands of soul masters from the palace, then there won't be much of a problem.

However, that would mean he would lose his own protection.

In comparison, it's just a few ordinary people dying, what does it matter to them?

The main reason why those wolf bandits never developed was because the Spirit Hall had been sending people to hunt them down.

However, with war looming, who cares about those things anymore?
Therefore, in the past year or two, the number of wolf bandits has increased from a mere hundred to several thousand.

Emperor Xueye's face turned pale and then red; Ye Xinyu's words had undoubtedly struck a nerve.

The atmosphere inside the hall grew increasingly tense, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

They really didn't care much about ordinary people; a few thousand wolf bandits, how many people could they possibly eat?

The entire Tiandou Empire has a population of over 100 million, of which 99% are poor.

Even if some people die, so what?

No one expected that this matter would be brought to the forefront for discussion.

Prince Xuexing couldn't help but step forward, glaring angrily.

"Stop your insolence! You are merely the young master of the Spirit Hall. What right do you have to point fingers at my Heaven Dou Empire?"

Ye Xinyu gave a soft snort and looked directly at Prince Xuexing.

"I was just curious. Thousands of wolf bandits could destroy a village of a hundred people in just a few hours, eating and taking everything they could."

"Over the past two years, the number of civilians who have died at their hands is estimated to be at least five figures."

"But you just let it go like this, while you care so much about Feng Xiaotian, who may be a rapist."

"Could it be that in your eyes, a rapist is more threatening than thousands of wolf bandits?"

I've been disgusted by these nobles for a long time; they're sucking the blood of the common people and enjoying their lives.

However, they showed no concern for the lives of ordinary people.

This kind of empire should have been destroyed long ago.
