Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 114 The Demise of Yuexuan

In Tiandou City, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Tiandou Empire was handling affairs in the Crown Prince's residence. Emperor Xue Ye's health was deteriorating, and now he was the one handling most of the basic affairs of Tiandou. Only important matters required Xue Ye's approval.

A figure appeared out of nowhere in the quiet room and bowed to Xue Qinghe, who was sitting by the window working.

"Young Master, Chrysanthemum Douluo has sent word that he and Ghost Douluo will be heading to the Star Dou Great Forest with the Pope in a few days to hunt souls."

"Okay, tell him that once I come to power, I will definitely not treat him unfairly."

Xue Qinghe, or rather Qian Renxue, looked at the Serpent Spear Douluo with a puzzled expression when she saw that he had not left.

"Uncle Snake Spear, is there anything else?"

"Indeed, there is one. You asked me to investigate who spread the news that Yuexuan was affiliated with the Haotian Sect, and I have already made some progress."

"Oh, who is it?"

"They are the largest employment organization in Tiandou City, and it seems that the Star Crown Sect is behind them."

"Star Crown Sect?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I understand. You can go now."

The figure of the Serpent Spear disappeared from the room. Qian Renxue sat at the table, gazing at the silver moon in the sky, her mind filled with countless thoughts.

Her father, Qian Xunji, was crippled by Tang Hao and died tragically from severe injuries. Her mother, Bibi Dong, loathed her and even wanted to kill her. Qian Renxue only received care from her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, from a young age.

Having infiltrated the Heaven Dou Empire since childhood, she cherishes her family members besides Bibi Dong. Some time ago, a rumor spread from an unknown source that Yuexuan was an external force of the Haotian Sect, dedicated to making money for the Haotian Sect and providing various resources.

The moment Qian Renxue heard the news, she thought of her father. From that moment on, she began to target Yuexuan with all her might. Yuexuan was a brothel that mainly catered to the nobility. Under the targeting of the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire, it quickly declined.

However, after calming down and thinking about it, Qian Renxue realized that such secret information could not be known or spread by ordinary people. She ordered Serpent Spear Douluo to investigate, but she did not expect to get such a result.

Qian Renxue recalled the Star Crown Sect that her grandfather had told her about when she was a child. The sect's foundation was definitely not bad, and the sect leader was a level 97 Super Douluo.

"What exactly are they trying to do? Do they also want to get involved in the conflicts on the mainland?"

Qian Renxue was slightly wary of the Star Crown Sect, but that was about it. With her grandfather around, she didn't think the Star Crown Sect could cause any trouble. Moreover, judging from the current situation, the Star Crown Sect seemed to be biased towards their Spirit Hall.

With the hatred of killing her father, Qian Renxue's resentment towards the Haotian Sect far exceeds that of other sects. As long as the Xingguan Sect messes with the Haotian Sect, they will be friends.

Just as she was thinking about how to completely suppress and eliminate Yuexuan, a eunuch knocked on the door and came in.

"Your Highness, Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has arrived with Bone Douluo and is currently waiting in the reception hall."

"Alright, I'll go there now."

A hint of doubt flashed through Qian Renxue's mind. Although Ning Fengzhi was her teacher in name, it was just a cooperation between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. The two of them were not really that familiar with each other.

And what is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School doing here at this time? Could it be because of Yuexuan's matter?

After having his servants tidy his clothes, Xue Qinghe re-entered the room and, surrounded by eunuchs, dismissed them all.

"Your Highness, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

"Thanks entirely to my teacher's guidance, I am now handling the affairs of the empire with increasing ease."

"That is truly a blessing for the empire. However, I have come here today to ask Your Highness a question: why are you targeting Yuexuan in this way?"

A sharp glint flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes as he looked at Xue Qinghe. How could he not know that the Haotian Sect was behind Yue Xuan? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had secretly contributed a lot to Yue Xuan's development in Tiandou City.

Now that the Spirit Hall is powerful, the major sects are already struggling to survive. He doesn't know why Xue Qinghe would target Yue Xuan, but the Clear Sky Sect is the bridgehead against the Spirit Hall. They have completely declined. Does the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have to bear the greatest pressure from the Spirit Hall?

Xue Qinghe was certain that Ning Fengzhi had indeed come because of this matter, but he had already come up with an excuse on his way to the reception room.

"Teacher, this Moon Pavilion has attracted too many nobles, and Avalanche is a frequent visitor there. Their frequent contact is not a good thing for our Heaven Dou Empire. I have no choice but to do this."

"In that case, avalanches are indeed a problem. How about we confine him to the manor?"

"Alright, as long as the teacher is willing to intervene, I will immediately have someone stop."

Ning Fengzhi glanced at his disciple again before leading Bone Douluo out of the Crown Prince's residence. Avalanche was a valid reason, but he still had some doubts.

Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing behind him have far less influence in the Tian Dou Empire than Xue Qinghe, and their public support is far inferior. To say they are wary of him is a bit far-fetched.

On the carriage, Bone Douluo looked at Ning Fengzhi, who was sitting opposite him with a furrowed brow, and wondered what was troubling him now that the Clear Sky Sect's predicament had been resolved.

"Fengzhi, what's wrong? Wasn't the matter with Haotian Sect resolved?"

"It's nothing, maybe I'm overthinking it. As long as Yuexuan is alright, that's all that matters."

Ning Fengzhi returned to his sect and began to focus on handling the affairs of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, while also spending time with his daughter, this little devil was really giving him a headache.

"Daddy, play with me."

"Daddy still has things to do. Rongrong, why don't you go play with your friends?"

"Hmph, I'm ignoring you, I'm going to go play with Grandpa Bone."

Ning Fengzhi watched as Ning Rongrong jumped off his lap and skipped away, a helpless smile on his face.

At this moment, a disciple from the sect rushed in, but the news he delivered made his expression change instantly; things were in big trouble.

Sword Bone Douluo arrived in no time. When they saw Ning Fengzhi sitting in a chair with a gloomy expression, their hearts sank. They sat down and began to ask him questions.

"Feng Zhi, what happened? Has the Spirit Hall made another move?"

"No, something happened to Yuexuan. The master of Yuexuan, Tang Yuehua, is dead."

"What?!"

Ning Fengzhi looked in the direction of the Crown Prince's residence, a sense of sorrow welling up in his heart. Tang Yuehua hadn't died earlier or later, but at this critical juncture, she was suddenly poisoned and died in Yuexuan. How could he not be suspicious?

However, he had no evidence, and even if it was the Crown Prince who did it, there was nothing he could do. But a seed of doubt was planted in his heart.

With the death of Tang Yuehua, the Haotian Sect's external force, Yuexuan, was completely destroyed and could no longer provide any assistance.
