Upon closer inspection, Dugu Bo finally noticed Qian Renxue's presence.
Lin Chuan nodded silently, "Six-winged Angel Martial Soul, she should be a member of the Angel lineage of the Spirit Hall, replacing Xue Qinghe's identity. However, it seems that the Heaven Dou royal family is probably doomed."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression darkened.
The fact that they didn't even notice the crown prince had been replaced shows how outrageous the Tian Dou royal family is.
"What do we do now? Kill them?"
Upon hearing Dugu Bo's words, the Serpent Spear Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo tensed up abruptly.
Just as Lin Chuan was about to respond, four more auras suddenly approached rapidly and soon came into view.
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, Ghost Leopard Douluo, and Spirit Kite Douluo.
Dugu Bo's face immediately darkened, and he looked at the four people with a wary expression.
"Little Lord!"
Upon seeing the situation inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, the four Title Douluos' expressions changed drastically, clearly not expecting to be beaten so badly.
Fortunately, Bibi Dong sent them to provide support in order to be on the safe side; otherwise, the losses this time would have been too great!
Without time to think, the four of them instantly stood in front of Qian Renxue, looking at Lin Chuan and Dugu Bo with solemn expressions, but none of them chose to make a move.
Lingyuan Douluo quickly knelt down, "Young Master, how are you?"
"We won't die for now, Elder Lingyuan, let's go!"
Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Lingyuan Douluo nodded gently, picked her up, and Guimei simultaneously carried Qianjun Jiangmo on his shoulder, leaving Ju Douluo and Guibao Douluo to stand guard.
Lin Chuan silently watched the scene unfold before him, no longer having any intention of making a move.
With so many titled Douluo, if they really risked their lives and had a couple of them self-destruct, it would be a real problem.
"Lin Chuan, I've learned my lesson from this defeat, and I'll get my revenge someday!"
Qian Renxue leaned against Lingyuan Douluo's chest, looking in this direction with an inscrutable expression.
Lin Chuan smiled calmly, "I'll be waiting!"
Chapter 169 Pushing Xue Ke to the top?
Qian Renxue and her group left quickly.
Soon, even the thousands of Soul Masters inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace retreated like a tide.
As his spiritual power detected a large amount of aura disappearing into the distance, the vast palace suddenly seemed somewhat empty, and Lin Chuan shook his head speechlessly.
The palace has been infiltrated in an incredibly exaggerated way!
"Let's go, Senior Dugu. Since we're already here, let's go in and see what's going on."
Although he already knew some of the details, Lin Chuan still entered the palace with Dugu Bo.
There weren't many people in the entire palace, with only a few maids guarding outside the room. However, due to the intense fighting outside, they had all already fainted.
Lin Chuan glanced at it casually, then reached out and pushed open the last door.
Emperor Xueye lay flat on the wide bed, covered with a white quilt, his face peaceful, as if he were asleep.
Dugu Bo strode to the bedside and, disbelieving, reached out to touch Emperor Xueye's neck.
After a moment, he slowly withdrew his hand and sighed helplessly.
"We were indeed too late; Emperor Xueye is already dead."
Just as Lin Chuan had said before, Emperor Xue Ye was not dead yet; his body had already stiffened, but somehow it had not yet emitted any stench.
Even so, the death of Emperor Xueye is a fact.
The Heavenly Dou Empire is likely to descend into chaos!
"What should we do now?" Dugu Bo felt that the situation was extremely difficult.
Lin Chuan was also quite troubled. He hadn't expected that Emperor Xue Ye would die. This was really going to be difficult.
"Father!"
Just as he was pondering this, a series of urgent shouts suddenly came from outside the palace, and footsteps grew closer and closer.
A figure suddenly burst in, his face filled with anxiety.
"Your Majesty Dugu, Marquis Lin, what are you doing here?"
The person who arrived was Xue Ke, the princess of the Heavenly Dou Empire, who rushed over after hearing the loud commotion. She was also the biological daughter of Emperor Xue Ye.
"Father, how is my father?" Xue Ke came to her senses and hurriedly rushed to Emperor Xue Ye's bedside.
Lin Chuan gently shook his head, "Emperor Xueye has already passed away."
"How could this be?" Xue Ke's face turned deathly pale, and she immediately collapsed to the ground, looking utterly incredulous. "Where is my Crown Prince brother? Wasn't he always taking care of Father Emperor?"
“Princess Xue Ke, Emperor Xue Ye died of poisoning, and the Crown Prince was also an imposter from the Spirit Hall. It must have been the Spirit Hall that poisoned him.”
Dugu Bo spoke softly from the side.
Xue Ke froze on the spot, speechless for a long time.
This incident truly had a huge impact on her, and it will take her some time to process it.
Lin Chuan and Dugu Bo did not disturb her, and stood quietly to the side.
Before long, a spatial fluctuation suddenly came from outside the palace, and then two figures entered the room one after the other.
Upon seeing the corpse of Emperor Xueye, both Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong paled.
Recalling the scene outside the door, which clearly showed that a great battle had taken place, both of them looked very heavy-hearted. Something had obviously happened in the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace that they were unaware of.
"Your Majesty Dugu, what exactly happened?" Ning Fengzhi asked in a deep voice.
Dugu Bo glanced at the two of them, but did not hide anything, and told them everything that had just happened.
Upon learning that Xue Qinghe was actually an imposter from the Spirit Hall and had even poisoned Emperor Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi's expression turned extremely grim.
When he had contact with Xue Qinghe before, the other party did not show any obvious changes. Even he, the Crown Prince's teacher, did not find any flaws. Doesn't this mean that the Spirit Hall had replaced Xue Qinghe a long time ago?
Upon closer examination, Ning Fengzhi felt a chill run down his spine.
"The methods of the Spirit Hall are truly terrifying!" Gu Rong also spoke up quietly from the side.
The fact that he could quietly replace the crown prince and remain hidden in the palace for so many years until now shows that he has a grand ambition!
Seeing the uncertain expressions on their faces, Lin Chuan gently shook his head. "Now is not the time to talk about these things. Now that Emperor Xueye has been murdered, the most important thing is to maintain the stability of the empire. Someone must step forward to take charge."
"As it should be!"
Ning Fengzhi quickly calmed down and nodded in agreement, "Uncle Gu, please make the trip yourself and invite Prince Xuexing and Prince Xuebeng over as well."
"it is good!"
Gu Rong nodded, then turned and disappeared.
But a moment later, the ancient banyan tree returned, only to find itself alone.
"Uncle Gu?" Ning Fengzhi sensed something was wrong and a certain guess arose in his mind.
Gu Rong slowly shook his head. "Xue Xing and Xue Beng are also dead. Their bodies are in the Prince's residence. When I went there, the entire residence was empty."
Upon hearing this, Xue Ke, who was already extremely sad, could no longer bear it and fainted instantly.
In the blink of an eye, she was the only one left in the vast Heavenly Dou Royal Family.
Ning Fengzhi quickly used the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda to give Xue Ke some simple treatment, but due to excessive grief, she still needed to rest for a while before she could wake up.
However, she was confused and didn't know what to do about the mess in front of her.
"The Spirit Hall is really too ruthless, not even leaving a single prince alive."
Ning Fengzhi sighed helplessly, feeling quite troubled by the current situation.
Emperor Xueye's sons had all died young, leaving only Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and Fourth Prince Xue Beng. Now, not only has Xue Beng died, but even Prince Xue Xing could not escape death.
As a result, the Heavenly Dou Empire no longer even has a successor to the throne.
Dugu Bo fell silent, feeling regretful that he had failed to save Prince Xuexing.
"Marquis Lin Chuan, Your Excellency Dugu, do you have any plans to deal with this?"
Ning Fengzhi looked up at Lin Chuan and Dugu Bo and asked softly.
After pondering for a moment, Dugu Bo tentatively said, "If I remember correctly, King Barak Kundera should be Emperor Xueye's cousin. Perhaps we could let him take charge of the overall situation."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up.
However, before he could say anything, Lin Chuan suddenly interrupted, "Why go through all that trouble? There's a perfect candidate right here."
"You mean... Princess Xueke?!"
This suggestion was somewhat unexpected for Ning Fengzhi.
But then a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
