Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

Just look at how much the Acacia Heartbreak Red helped Ye Lingling; he still vividly remembers Ye Lingling's golden soul ring.

It just so happens that he knew Dugu Bo had a medicinal herb garden, and that the batch of herbs was even obtained by Dugu Bo from the Po clan thanks to the intelligence he provided years ago.

He just hadn't expected that the batch of medicines was so valuable, and that Dugu Bo would give them to Tang San and the others instead of letting them use them, which made him think about it a lot.

"It's probably correct in general, Your Highness, but you should be careful in the future."

Yu Tianheng replied seriously that he had a good impression of Xue Qinghe and did not want this Crown Prince of Tiandou to die in a conspiracy in the future.

“I will investigate and confirm it. You should also be careful in the Star Luo Empire. Keep in touch with Lingling and look after each other. If things really change in the future, I may send Yiran over. She shouldn’t get involved in those things.”

Forcing herself to calm down, Xue Qinghe explained her arrangements for Meng Yiran.

Although he had someone he loved and didn't like Meng Yiran, the girl did like him, or rather, she liked the substitute. Moreover, he had a good impression of the girl.

Furthermore, given his feud with Tang San, if Dugu Bo truly had a prior alliance with the Clear Sky Sect, he would likely be targeted in the future, and the Peerless Dragon and Snake Sect alone wouldn't be able to protect that girl.

We must prepare a way out for them.

"Ok!"

Nodding, Yu Tianheng understood Xue Qinghe's feelings and thoughts.

He was quite shocked when he overheard Tang San and Dugu Bo's conversation. After that, he paid more attention and found that Dugu Bo and Tang San would look at each other from time to time, which meant that they knew each other for a long time.

However, neither side openly revealed that relationship, so there must be a conspiracy involved.

That's why he decisively gave up his relationship with Dugu Yan, lest he fall deeper and deeper into it and eventually be unable to extricate himself.

It was only because of Xue Qinghe's kind reminder that he chose to reveal that secret.

"You go back first, I want to be alone here!"

After exchanging words for a while, Xue Qinghe gestured for Yu Tianheng to go back first, as he needed to calm down and think about some things.

Yu Tianheng remained silent and turned to leave.

Xue Qinghe wandered aimlessly until he came to a lake. While looking at the rippling lake, he pondered Yu Tianheng's words.

He originally thought that his father's cooperation with Haotian Sect was accidental, but after what happened with Dugu Bo, he realized that things were probably not that simple.

At least Dugu Bo's stance is highly problematic. If Dugu Bo himself is a spy planted by the Haotian Sect in their Tiandou Empire, then many things have an even more terrifying explanation.

Over the years, the Emperor has always regarded Dugu Bo as a confidant. Dugu Bo knows almost all the secrets of their Tian Dou royal family. If this person is a spy of the Haotian Sect, or has been bribed by the Haotian Sect, the entire empire will be in great danger.

"Haotian Sect, we underestimated you!"

After thinking for a long time, Xue Qinghe murmured to himself, his starry eyes flashing with even colder light.

Since you want to play, then I'll play with you properly!

"Brother Xiao, it is immoral to eavesdrop on people's conversations."

Calming herself down, Xue Qinghe helplessly turned to look at the masked man who had appeared behind her at some point.

He had felt something was off when he talked to Yu Tianheng before, and now that he thinks about it, he probably realized that Yu Tianheng had been watching him all along.

“We can cooperate.”

Walking up to Xue Qinghe and looking at the rippling lake, Tian Hao expressed his desire to collaborate.

In fact, the two empires had been under their full surveillance since entering Wuhun City. He was stunned when he heard what Yu Tianheng had said in the report. He hadn't expected that the young man to have such a wild imagination.

However, since this has already happened, it would be too much of a mistake not to give it more screen time.

This is a good opportunity to dig another big pit for the Haotian Sect and Tang Shenwang, and maybe even trap the Tang Sect in the future.

"We are enemies now and in the future."

Frowning, Xue Qinghe offered a reminder. Although he hadn't known this person for long, he could tell that the other party was no pushover and was quite a dangerous individual.

Most importantly, they are very capable, which is a fatal flaw.

He didn't really want to cooperate with such a dangerous person; he could easily be devoured by them if he wasn't careful.

"But we share the same enemy!"

Ignoring Xue Qinghe's wariness, Tian Hao knew the boy would definitely agree to cooperate.

Sure enough, after a moment's thought, Xue Qinghe asked, "What do you want to cooperate on?"

"We haven't figured out the specifics of the cooperation yet, but the general direction is towards the Haotian Sect, which is our current and future enemy, and a very formidable one at that. I don't want the Haotian Sect to do things as they please, and I'm sure the Crown Prince of Qinghe shares the same thought. That's the basis for our cooperation."

If needed, just send someone over to let us know. We can also share some intelligence.

After leaving behind a single sentence, Tian Hao vanished.

The reason for showing up this time is mainly to lay the groundwork for a move; if it works, great, but if it doesn't, there's no loss.

Of course, the most important thing is to give Xue Qinghe some confidence and assurance, let him know that he has allies supporting him outside, and then he can confidently and boldly do things against Haotian Sect.

At the same time, we can also take advantage of Xue Qinghe and the Heavenly Dou Empire to obtain some information about the Haotian Sect, achieving multiple benefits in one fell swoop.

Xue Qinghe remained standing by the lake, not leaving. Although he had figured some things out before, the appearance of that person brought about many changes, especially in the future. Perhaps some of his previous ideas could be changed.

"You're absolutely right. The human heart is indeed the most difficult thing in the world to understand."

After a long silence, Xue Qinghe murmured to himself, and couldn't help but lament his past naiveté.

Fortunately, he had previously thought that the empire had overcome its difficulties and that everything was developing in a positive direction. However, Yu Tianheng's discovery awoke him from his dream and revealed the darkness and crisis hidden within the empire, which was quite shocking.

And this was just one point that Yu Tianheng discovered by chance; who knows how deeply hidden or how many others remain undiscovered.

Perhaps the empire has already been thoroughly infiltrated and is on the verge of collapse at any moment.

Faced with this hellish situation, he didn't know where to begin.

However, he wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die. If those people really wanted to drive them to the brink, then he would fight them to the death, and no one would have an easy time.

With this in mind, Xue Qinghe resolved to fight to the death; he would never let those people's conspiracy succeed.

"Human nature has always been like this. It's unrealistic to try to understand human nature by starting with human nature itself. You need to start with interests."

A clear, cold voice suddenly rang in Xue Qinghe's mind; it was Qian Renxue speaking from within the storage soul tool.

Although the problems of the Heavenly Dou Empire were much more serious than she had anticipated, this was a good thing for her, as it would help temper her spiritual realm.

Once she has perfected her mindset, she will be able to fully master both evil and divine power, and perfectly fuse and transform the two forces, laying the foundation for becoming a god.

"Interests?"

As Xue Qinghe pondered the word "profit," he began to have a vague understanding.

Previously, I was wondering why Dugu Bo would collude with the Haotian Sect, but now, from the perspective of interests, many things actually seem to have a clear pattern.

For a peak Douluo like Dugu Bo, the only things that could move him were becoming a god and helping Dugu Yan become a god.

It just so happens that the Clear Sky Sect possesses the power to become a god. Four gods appeared during the previous attack, and it seems that Bone Douluo has also completely surrendered to the Clear Sky Sect and become a god as well, otherwise he would not have been able to escape from the hands of the Angel God.

Using the promise of godhood to tempt Dugu Bo could indeed succeed.

"What benefits did they offer to Father Emperor?"

As Xue Qinghe pondered, he couldn't help but think of his father, the emperor, and then of the subtle changes in his father's attitude towards him. He had a vague understanding of what was going on, and then gave a bitter smile.

"The imperial family is the most ruthless of all!"

I was wondering about it before, but now I understand.

He was no longer the heir his father had placed high hopes on, but had become a threat.

If this speculation comes true, then he will definitely face great difficulties in the empire in the future, and may even lose his position as crown prince.

His current and future situation is worse than he had imagined, to the point that he sees no hope at all.

"Since I cannot become a qualified emperor, then I will become a deposed ruler, and no one will be allowed to take my empire."

As her thoughts and beliefs gradually changed, Xue Qinghe became increasingly cold-hearted, even resolute.

He was unwilling to have everything taken away, and even more unwilling to watch the empire be harmed by those treacherous villains.

Since you're playing so ruthlessly, then I'll completely overturn this game and see how you continue. No one will benefit from it.

Sensing Xue Qinghe's gradually darkening emotions, Qian Renxue, inside the storage soul tool, blinked her bright eyes in a daze, not understanding why Xue Qinghe was undergoing such a strange change.

Is her psychological resilience really that weak?

Chapter 636 The Beginningless Universe

While Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, was pondering something, Davis was also thinking about the person in front of him.

Flander sat nervously on the opposite sofa, waiting for Davis's response.

Although Shrek lost, he still had to secretly come and contact the Star Luo Crown Prince for the sake of his disciple Ma Hongjun.

"Dean Flander should know that Blue Tyrant Academy and Plant Academy intend to relocate to our Star Luo Empire. Blue Tyrant Academy and Shrek Academy are mortal enemies. If I accept you and your disciple, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction from Blue Tyrant Academy."

However, Dean Flander took in my younger brother several years ago and raised him to be so outstanding. As his older brother, I should thank Dean Flander properly.

After some thought, Davis said meaningfully.

He believed that Flanders was a smart man and would surely understand what he meant.

"Your Highness, what do you wish me to do?"

With a bitter expression, Flander forced himself to ask.

He was a smart man and could naturally tell that Davis's words had a hidden meaning, and that Davis didn't trust him at all, which stemmed from Dai Mubai.

No one with a sound mind would take in Dai Mubai, because he is a prince of the Star Luo Empire. Given the hatred between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, especially the war twenty years ago, their antagonistic relationship was destined.

But he still accepted it at the time, which inevitably led to many hidden dangers, and now those dangers have surfaced.

"Since Mu Bai has already pledged allegiance to the Haotian Sect, he will inevitably be eyeing the succession to the throne of the empire. It is unrealistic for him to compete with me through normal means. The Soul Master Competition is a good stage. Although they lost this time, they may very well make a comeback next time."

"I need to know everything about their next move, so I'll leave that to Dean Flander."

Dai Mubai was too lazy to play mind games with someone like Flander, so he got straight to the point and stated his requirements.

Firstly, he didn't trust Flander; if Flander wanted to join him, he would have to provide a sufficient pledge of allegiance.

Secondly, he was quite wary of his younger brother, who already possessed two extreme attributes and had undergone a god-level evolution of his martial soul. Furthermore, he had joined the Clear Sky Sect and was destined to become a god in the future.

We must be prepared!

"I understand. Farewell!"
