Douluo Continent: My plan to slay the gods has been exposed!

Chapter 65 The Truth Behind the Spirit Hall's Visit: Avalanche and Doomsday!

After the four from the Spirit Hall left, someone came to tidy up the messy courtyard. The Royal Guards, their eyes bloodshot, stood guard in front of Emperor Xueye, but he waved them away to guard outside Xue Beng's residence and pull away the wailing Xue Beng.

Emperor Xueye sat on the strange wooden armchair brought by the guards to rest. After the guards left one by one, only he, Xuexing, and Xue Qinghe, who was pushing open the door, remained in the huge courtyard!

"Now that the Spirit Hall is powerful and Bibi Dong is a despicable and vicious woman, it is no longer something that the Empire alone can suppress."

"But this time they've shown their fangs, which isn't necessarily a bad thing for us. Let's spread the word quickly. We can't care about the Empire's reputation right now. The most important thing is that this is an opportunity to rally other forces to deal with the Spirit Hall together."

The Spirit Hall holds absolute power. Even though other forces have sometimes cooperated to exert pressure, their efforts have been largely ineffective due to mutual concerns. This time, the Heaven Dou Royal Family, as the largest force to resist, has been practically crushed by the Spirit Hall. The three upper sects, who are currently watching from the sidelines, must be the most anxious now!

Under the constant healing of the healing-type Soul Master, Emperor Xue Ye, who had been ill for a long time and had been busy with state affairs, finally felt a little better. When he saw Xue Qinghe rushing to his side with an anxious expression, his dim eyes flickered.

"The Crown Prince will be in charge of finding out the reasons behind the Spirit Hall's actions and promoting the formation of an alliance among various forces to oppose the Spirit Hall."

"Father!" Xue Qinghe's face was filled with sorrow, and tears welled up in his eyes. "Your subject will certainly do his utmost in these matters, but please take care of your health, Father. The Heavenly Battle cannot be without your presence!"

"Silly child, this world doesn't stop just because someone is missing, not even the emperor," Emperor Xueye smiled gently, patting his eldest son's shoulder with his large, pale hand, as if encouraging him: "Ning Fengzhi is your teacher, the future imperial tutor of the empire, but that's not enough. The relationship between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the empire can be closer, and some territory can be ceded. Power is not a problem, the key is how you weigh the pros and cons."

"Your subject doesn't quite understand."

"You understand, cough cough cough. I have reviewed all the memorials you have corrected. They are very good, better than mine from the same year."

Covering his mouth and coughing twice, Emperor Xueye looked at the glaring crimson in his palm with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "It seems that time is really running out. But it doesn't matter. Although your methods are a bit immature, you are doing a decent job so far. The Heavenly Battle will definitely be handed over to you. You only need to train for a few years, and it is inevitable that you will surpass me."

"But Qinghe, I have only one request."

"Please speak frankly, Father."

"My good son," Emperor Xueye's eyes remained as gentle as ever, "a qualified emperor cannot sit still without being ruthless; a balance of firmness and gentleness, kindness and severity, is what truly earns people's trust."

"I'll pretend I've forgotten about your two younger brothers. Let's leave Avalanche behind. Whether he's faking it or not, as long as you don't fall, a prince with a terrible reputation won't have a chance to get ahead of you."

Xue Qinghe looked up at him in shock, her pupils suddenly contracting.

Clearly, this emperor, who has ruled for many years, is more cunning than anyone expected. From the very beginning, he identified the culprit, but he has kept it a secret for many years without revealing a single word!

The two chatted in the courtyard for a long time, mostly Xue Ye talking, while Xue Qinghe listened quietly, occasionally letting out a violent cough, accompanied by a few hearty and gratified laughs, as well as flattering and heartwarming words from His Highness the Crown Prince.

Just as the guards outside the door were about to strain their ears to listen, the sound gradually subsided.

The two chatted from afternoon until dusk. After watching Xue Qinghe, who looked respectful, walk out of the courtyard gate, the exhausted Emperor Xueye forced himself to sit up, regained his usual indifference, and asked the void in a cold voice.

"How did things go?"

"Tang Yuehua, the Haotian Sect's representative outside the sect, personally set off to report the news to the reclusive Haotian Sect. Lan Dian Tyrant Dragon Yu Yuanzhen has not yet recovered from his injuries, but he has agreed to cooperate actively."

As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School

"Ning Fengzhi rejected the formal alliance without hesitation, and the envoy he sent didn't even get to meet him in person!"

The middle-aged man in gray knelt on the ground and reported to the emperor on the armchair in a low, enigmatic voice.

Needless to say, the relationship between the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall is unlikely to be refused. What Xue Ye didn't expect was that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon would actively participate. However, what he couldn't understand the most was that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which had always been on good terms with the Heaven Dou royal family and nobles, actually refused.

Emperor Xueye frowned deeply as he closed his eyes in thought, a hint of weariness clearly visible on his face.

"Investigate; I need to know the reason."

"Your Majesty, I have already inquired about this matter," the guard said, bowing his head, not daring to look at Emperor Xueye's tired face.

"explain."

With just this one word, the heavy imperial aura seemed to permeate from his body. Emperor Xueye opened his eyes and looked at him coldly, like an old but still fierce and ruthless lion.

"Just yesterday, at the urging of that evil soul master, His Highness Avalanche went to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to propose marriage to Ning Fengzhi's daughter, Ning Rongrong."

What?!

Like a giant bolt of lightning flashing through his mind, Emperor Xueye was clearly terrified, staring blankly at him for a long time before he came to his senses.

He wants to marry Ning Rongrong?!

Or is it this incompetent, womanizing, and bullying-the-poor guy, Xue Beng, whose reputation in the capital is already rotten to the core?!

What makes you so special that Ning Fengzhi would be blind enough to marry his precious daughter to you?

Why don't you ask the two veteran Title Douluos who spoiled Ning Rongrong like a little devil since she was a child if they'd be willing?!

A more terrifying thought formed in Xue Ye's mind: what if Ning Fengzhi believed this was his idea, and she couldn't refuse, especially given the Spirit Hall's offer of substantial rewards? Given that doting father, he might actually...

He should join the Spirit Hall!

So we've found the reason why these people are so arrogant today: it's to vent the anger of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, or to show Ning Fengzhi their sincerity!

It's clear that there's no longer any possibility of making peace with the royal family!

A strange flush rose to Emperor Xueye's face. He coughed several times, spitting out mouthfuls of blood, and his aura immediately weakened to the extreme.

"His Majesty!"

"Continue. Go and win over other forces. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School should send gifts as an apology, using the finest items from the national treasury, high-age soul bones, soul tools—anything will do, you idiot! Get it done now!"

Almost roaring, Emperor Xueye pounded heavily on the hard armrest of the chair, his neck veins bulging, his expression extremely ferocious!

"By the way, stop right there!"

The Snow Night Emperor gasped for air, waving his massive hands wildly in the air, his eyes fixed on him with a vicious glare: "Execute him!!!"

"Aaaaaah!!!"

"Execute that rebellious son, Xue Beng, for me! Execute him!!!"
