Douluo Continent: Five Thunders Shake the Drums, I am the Thunder Emperor!

Chapter 137 The Angel's Test; Reactions from All Sides, Undercurrents Raging!
"Snow."

Qian Daoliu's voice came from behind.

Qian Renxue did not turn around, but said softly, "Grandpa, I failed."

Her voice was extremely calm, eerily calm: "I have been lurking in Tiandou for many years, only to end up doing all the work for Sikong Zhen."

Qian Daoliu sighed, "Xue'er, this is not your fault."

"Who would have thought that the Sikong family would have such strength and courage?"

“Grandpa, there’s no point in saying all this now.” Qian Renxue turned around, her eyes flashing with a complex light.

"I'm just wondering if it's good or bad that the Heavenly Dou Empire is in power with Sikong Zhen and others?"

Qian Daoliu frowned slightly: "Your feelings towards him..."

"I wouldn't call it hatred, but to say I like it would be nonsense."

Qian Renxue said slowly, "It's more out of curiosity. I can't see through him. He cares about the people, yet he has no reverence for imperial power. His strength and talent are too amazing."

"The future of such a person is unpredictable."

The fourth elder, Lion Douluo, interjected, "Brother, should we take this opportunity to make a move? The situation in the Heavenly Dou battle is still unstable."

"No need."

Qian Daoliu raised his hand to stop him: "Let Bibi Dong test the waters first, and we'll observe the situation."

"Moreover, the fifth brother made a promise on behalf of the Hall of Offerings, and there is no need to break the oath unless absolutely necessary."

In Qian Daoliu's view, the Hall of Offerings has the confidence to observe the situation calmly.

Sikong Zhen is only a Soul Saint now. Even if he becomes stronger quickly, is it possible for him to rival a Peerless Douluo within three years?
Qian Daoliu thought it was impossible.

Moreover, even if Sikong Zhen is comparable to a peerless Douluo, with the blessing of angelic divine power, he believes he can still easily suppress him!
Followed by.

Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue and said gently, "Xue'er, go. Grandpa hopes you can pass the Nine Trials of the Angels and become a successor of the gods."

"Ah."

Qian Renxue nodded gently.

Then, she stepped out of the Hall of Offerings and headed towards the Hall of Douluo.

Qian Daoliu's eyes were deep, containing a hint of expectation. The most important thing at the moment was to help his granddaughter pass the Angel God Test.

As long as Qian Renxue can obtain the Nine Trials of the Angels, he won't care about Sikong Zhen's fate.
……

Star Luo Empire
Inside the palace, Davis smashed the wine glass to the ground, shards flying everywhere.

"Sikong Zhen! Sikong Mingde!"

Davis's eyes were bloodshot, veins bulging on his forehead, and he roared furiously, "The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable!"

Zhu Zhuyun quickly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. It would be rash to send troops now."

"I know!"

Davis's eyes flashed with anger, but he forced himself to calm down. "Order the border garrison to strengthen its defenses, and at the same time..."

A cold glint flashed in his eyes. "Send someone to secretly contact the Spirit Hall."

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

……

Wind Sword Sect

Sect Master Feng Qihe put down the intelligence report in his hand and sighed, "The world has changed."

An elder standing nearby frowned: "Sect Master, we need to make plans as soon as possible. The Sikong family is now very powerful, and the Heaven Dou Empire has become much stronger, but the Spirit Hall is also very powerful."

"I see."

Feng Qihe rubbed his temples. "Send the order down to put the sect on high alert. Also, prepare a generous gift to congratulate the new emperor on his ascension to the throne."

The Fire Leopard Sect should follow the same principle, focusing on maintaining a distance from both close relationships and avoiding conflict.

Meanwhile, the Elephant Armor Sect has secretly submitted to the Spirit Hall, and the White Tiger Sect is located in the Star Luo Empire and has some connection with the Star Luo royal family.

These two sects were completely hostile to Sikong Zhen and others, so there was no question of giving gifts.

……

Prince Tiandou's Mansion.

Prince Xuexing hid in a dark, secret room, his wine glass trembling uncontrollably. "It's all over. Completely over."

The dark figure in front of Prince Xuexing whispered, "Your Highness, now is not the time to despair. Although Prince Xuebeng has been granted the title of Prince of Lingling, as long as he is alive, there is still hope."

Prince Xuexing suddenly looked up: "You mean..."

"The Spirit Hall won't sit idly by and watch the Sikong family grow stronger," the shadowy figure chuckled sinisterly. "We just need to wait for the right opportunity."

"If the Spirit Hall kills Sikong Zhen and Sikong Mingde, then it's all possible that Prince Xue Beng will ascend to the throne, or that you will take the top position!"

As soon as these words came out.

Like the whispers of a demon, it echoed in Prince Snowstar's ears.

A terrifying glint suddenly flashed in Xue Xing's turbid eyes, and he crushed the wine glass in his hand, the wine dripping through his fingers.

"you're right."

Prince Xuexing's voice was hoarse, his eyes filled with desire, "I haven't lost yet!"

The candlelight in the secret room flickered, illuminating Prince Xuexing's distorted face.

He suddenly stood up, his wide sleeves sweeping the tea set off the table, the sound of shattering porcelain particularly jarring in the enclosed space.

"go with!"

Prince Xuexing grabbed the shadowy figure's shoulder, his nails almost digging into the flesh. "Immediately send someone to secretly contact the four great kingdoms—remember, it must be absolutely secret!"

The dark figure knelt on one knee: "Understood, subordinate."

"The Duchy of Barak and the Kingdom of Hagendas have always been on good terms with the Prince, the Kingdom of Silves has a strong military, and the Kingdom of Moric, though small, is wealthy. If we can persuade them..."

"Tell them—"

Prince Xuexing interrupted, his eyes flashing with a crazed light, "The Sikong family murdered the emperor and usurped the throne, but the legitimate line of the Heavenly Dou still exists."

"As long as they are willing to help, all four kingdoms can become independent after the matter is accomplished!"

The shadowy figure shuddered upon hearing this.

The kingdom's independence meant a complete break from its subordinate relationship with Tiandou, becoming a truly independent sovereign state.

"My subordinates will do it now."

The dark figure bowed and withdrew from the secret room, disappearing like smoke.

Prince Snowstar stood alone in the darkness and suddenly let out a laugh like that of a night owl.

He turned and walked deeper into the secret room, pushing open a hidden door.

Inside, a brand-new bright yellow dragon robe was on display—it had been secretly sewn by Prince Xuexing many years ago.

Prince Xuexing's fingers traced the dragon pattern embroidered with gold thread as he murmured to himself, "Brother, if you can sit on this throne, so can I!"

……

Meanwhile, inside a luxurious manor in Tiandou City.

"Your Highness, are you truly resigned to this?"

Avalanche remained expressionless, coldly observing the mysterious figure before him.

Although he was granted the title of Prince of Lingling, before he even went to his fiefdom, the area around his residence was already filled with spies from the Sikong family.

Anyone who can sneak into this place without anyone noticing is no ordinary person.

"Whose people are you? The Spirit Hall? The Star Luo Empire? Or..." Xue Beng toyed with the jade pendant in his hand, his tone eerily calm, "...my beloved royal uncle?"

The mysterious man chuckled softly, removed his hood, and revealed a face covered with strange patterns.

"I merely cannot tolerate the Sikong family usurping power. If the Prince of Lingling were to raise his voice, loyal and righteous men throughout the land would surely spring forth."

The mysterious man's eyes were sincere.

But how much of this is true and how much is false is a matter of opinion.

"enough."

The avalanche suddenly interrupted him, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, "You rats hiding in the gutter, do you really think I'm a fool?"

He slowly rose to his feet, looking down at the mysterious man.

"Go back and tell your master that if he wants to rebel in my name, he'd better offer me something that will tempt him, otherwise..."
