Chapter 65 The Terrified Emperor Xueye

Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

Ever since confirming Tang Hao and his group's plan to ambush Xiao, Emperor Xueye had been restless in the palace, even skipping lunch and anxiously staring out the door.

Qian Renxue stood below the stage, watching Emperor Xueye's appearance, and secretly sneered in her heart.

With such a demeanor, is he even worthy of being the ruler of a country?

Emperor Xueye sighed and said, "Qinghe, I have a bad feeling. If Tang Hao doesn't kill Xiao and it implicates the royal family, is there any way to deal with it?"

Qian Renxue shook her head slightly; what could she possibly do to deal with this?

Although he was the crown prince of the empire, his military power was tightly controlled by Emperor Xueye, who was always on guard against others.

Do we still need to ask her?

Prince Xuexing laughed, "Your Majesty, with five Title Douluos like Tang Hao besieging a single Xiao, what unexpected events could possibly occur?"

Prince Snowstar didn't believe Xiao could escape, let alone fight back.

Emperor Xueye hummed in response, remained silent for a moment, and then regained his composure.

In fact, his instructions to Grand Marshal Goron were that as long as Grand Marshal Goron acted according to the circumstances, there should be no problems, at least not involving the royal family.

The reason he is so anxious now is because he feels the pressure of facing Xiao directly.

There's no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days.

Xiao is elusive and unpredictable. If the two have truly become mortal enemies, then he must be constantly on guard against Xiao's assassination attempts.

At this time.

"Knock knock knock..."

A series of rapid footsteps sounded from outside.

"Grand Marshal Goron requests an audience..." a palace maid's shrill voice called out from outside the door.

Before the sound had completely faded, Grand Marshal Golong, dressed in full military uniform, rushed in.

He looked hurried and was covered in sweat.

A squad of guards immediately appeared around the throne to protect Emperor Xueye.

Meanwhile, several palace soul masters blocked the way, preventing Grand Marshal Goron from getting any closer.

Grand Marshal Golong immediately stopped and addressed Emperor Xueye on the platform:

"Your Majesty, Tang Hao and the others were no match for Xiao. Tang Hao died in battle, and the others escaped with serious injuries! And from what Xiao said, it seems he's heading to the palace to see you!"

"What?!"

Emperor Xueye was panicked and looked at Grand Marshal Goron in disbelief.

This news was definitely the worst he could have imagined.

Five titled Douluo couldn't suppress Xiao, and now Xiao has come to the royal family. How should he deal with this?

"Grand Marshal, didn't I say! No..."

The Snow Night Emperor was quite resentful.

Grand Marshal Goron shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I did not have any conflict with Xiao. But for some reason, he suddenly mentioned coming to see you... Perhaps, he didn't intend to kill me."

Emperor Xueye finally breathed a sigh of relief and pondered, "Judging from that demon, it doesn't seem to be indiscriminately killing innocent people, so it probably won't take its anger out on the royal family..."

Marshal Goron remained silent.

Seeing this, Prince Xuexing shouted, "Brother, don't forget we still have the Poison Douluo's guards, plus the exquisite protection of the palace's Soul Masters. Even if Xiao gets in, he might not be able to affect us!"

Emperor Xueye glared angrily at Prince Xuexing, thinking to himself, "Don't brag!"

Even five titled Douluo were no match for Xiao.

Poison Douluo and those palace soul masters can stop the opponent? What a joke!

Grand Marshal Ge Long added, "There's another matter. When Tang Hao and the others were besieging Xiao, Poison Douluo appeared. He clearly stated that he would support Xiao, even at the cost of making enemies of five Title Douluos, and threatened to retaliate with poison."

"..." Prince Xuexing was dumbfounded. He couldn't believe that Poison Douluo would do this for him.

If Xiao Zhen stands against the royal family, Poison Douluo is more likely to remain neutral.

Qian Renxue looked at the anxious expressions on everyone's faces and sneered inwardly.

These fools have no idea how powerful Xiao is. It was only because I had the foresight to recognize his talent that I sent Serpent Spear Douluo to inform Bibi Dong long ago how to win Xiao's favor.

Now, Xiao must have already sided with the Spirit Hall.

"Grand Marshal Goron, since you haven't attacked Xiao, I believe that given Xiao's personality, he would never retaliate against the royal family. Could you tell us the specifics of what happened? Where is Xiao now?"

Qian Renxue looked at Grand Marshal Ge Long expectantly.

Prince Xuexing, who had been calm just moments before, now looked impatient, pointing at Qian Renxue and saying, "Crown Prince! What time is it now? You still want to focus on details? We need to hide first and create a diversion!"

Knowing that Poison Douluo would not be his reliance, Prince Xuexing now cherishes his life more than anyone else.

"Enough! Xue Xing, you've lost your sense of proportion," Emperor Xue Ye said coldly.

He has calmed down. The outcome has already been decided, so there's no point in dwelling on emotions anymore.

"Goron, tell me."

Grand Marshal Goron then recounted the entire process.

"...Xiao didn't arrive before me; something must have happened to him..."

After hearing this, a look of doubt flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes. She had clearly sent Serpent Spear Douluo to inform Bibi Dong, so why didn't Bibi Dong appear in time?

How about winning over Xiao so that Xiao owes you a favor?

Qian Renxue is now numb too.

Just then.

A figure in cyan appeared.

"!!!"

Emperor Xueye and the others all tensed up. The figure that suddenly appeared was none other than Xiao.

Xiao looked at the tense atmosphere in the palace and fixed his gaze on Emperor Xueye.

He had intended to come directly, but suddenly received a summons.

Therefore, they could only deal with the innocent people who were in danger first.

That's why it took some time, and the palace is only now appearing.

When Emperor Xueye saw Xiao appear, his heart trembled.

At this point in time, if Xiao were to truly turn against him, he would likely find it very difficult to defend himself.

In other words, his life was decided by Xiao at that moment.

This is the most unacceptable thing for an emperor.

"Xiao, my unparalleled strategist, I heard you were besieged by a group of thugs?" Emperor Xueye remained expressionless, but his heart was pounding like a drum.

It was the result of his best efforts that he was able to maintain his dignity.

Xiao looked calmly at Emperor Xueye and could naturally tell just how panicked Emperor Xueye was.

However, he did not intend to pursue the matter against Emperor Xueye.

After all, even in the end, Grand Marshal Goron did not lay a hand on him.

Xiao said bluntly, "Your Majesty, I hope you will withdraw the slander against me."

Xiao did not want Tian Dou to withdraw his pursuit.

Because in his view, that was the proper thing to do.

However, some smears cannot be allowed to exist.

"Very well, my unparalleled strategist. I was misled before, which led me to make an unwise decision..."

Before Emperor Xueye could finish speaking, Xiao vanished instantly, having no interest in witnessing Emperor Xueye's disgraceful behavior.

Watching Xiao leave, Emperor Xueye suddenly let out a long sigh of relief, leaned heavily against the back of his chair, and remained so for a long time.

Prince Xuexing had collapsed to the ground and was now unconscious.
