Douluo Dalu II: The Soul Wishing Tree, Wang Dong is addicted

"Oh, what a troubled time..."

In the end, Kong Deming sighed and decided to ignore it.

After all, the dead cannot be resurrected, and the old emperor is already dead, so it is meaningless to investigate anything further.

As the head of the Worship Hall, he is not protecting a particular emperor, but the entire royal family, or in other words, the royal heritage.

As long as the inheritance continues, the empire will last forever.

He would not participate in the subsequent fight between the princes for the throne. As long as the country was still in the hands of the Xu family, he would not care. He just hoped that not too many people would die...

As for the old emperor's funeral, it was naturally left to those guys in the royal clan to handle.

……

……

……

That night.

The news of the emperor's death spread throughout the palace in an instant.

"What! Father...how could it be! What is going on!" In the palace, the sixteenth prince Xu Tianan learned the news and immediately slammed the table, furious!

Yes, he was not sad, but angry!
If the old emperor were still alive, he would have plenty of time and space to develop and could make a lot of preparations to deal with Xu Tianhe.

And now, the old emperor died inexplicably.

Then he would have to start the battle for the throne with his other brothers in advance!
He just sent a message to his brothers today, planning to unite and suppress Xu Tianhe...

Now that the old emperor is dead, everyone is his enemy. What's the point of joining forces?

"boom--"

At this moment, a loud bang was suddenly heard at the door of Xu Tianan's bedroom.

"Who! Who dares to trespass into the prince's bedroom...ah——"

Immediately afterwards, there were crackling sounds of fighting and continuous screams.

"what happened!"

When Xu Tianan heard the noise, he immediately felt something was wrong and hurriedly came out with all his guards.

However, when he saw the situation outside, he immediately became furious!
Dozens of fully armed soldiers broke into his bedroom and detained all his guards and maids!
When Xu Tianan saw this scene, he had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm and scolded in a cold voice: "You bold lunatics, how dare you be so good at the palace, do you know that this is a capital crime!"

The leader outside was a man in a black robe. When he saw Xu Tianan's appearance, he sneered and said lightly: "Haha, the Eighth Prince has ordered that His Majesty was assassinated. It is very likely related to you, the Sixteenth Prince. Please do not resist and cooperate with our investigation."

The man in black robe is naturally a member of the Holy Spirit Church. He possesses the combat power of a peak Soul Douluo and is taking special care of Xu Tianan.

"What!! Father was poisoned... No! Even if there was something fishy about his death, it couldn't have been me!"

"Besides, Xu Tian and that rubbish, what right do they have to investigate me? What qualifications do they have to investigate me?!"

"I am a prince! No one can judge me except my father! Even if they really want to judge me, they need evidence instead of accusing me!"

Xu Tianan was so angry when he heard this!

Let’s not talk about how his father died!

Just based on Xu Tian and that good-for-nothing, what qualifications do they have to investigate him?

Even if we really want to investigate, we have to provide evidence! Xu Tian and that dog Dingxi actually put the blame on him! They even sent people to break into his bedroom to arrest him!

This is simply unreasonable!
Is there any more royal method!
At this moment, Xu Tianan wished he could tear Xu Tian and that bastard into pieces!

"Hehehe, Sixteenth Prince, we only follow the orders of Eighth Prince. If it really wasn't you who did it, then we Eighth Prince will definitely not embarrass you."

As the man in black robe finished speaking, he rushed out violently, black energy surged wildly on his body, condensing into a huge black hand, and grabbed straight towards Xu Tianan.

"Bold!!"

At this moment, an old man with a powerful aura rushed out from behind Xu Tianan, carrying a large number of soul guides, and collided violently with the man in black robe.

Although Xu Tianan received a lot of financial support, he had no background after all. The strongest person around him was just an ordinary eighth-level soul engineer, and he got to that level by taking drugs.

The evil soul master's fighting power is already strong, and he is basically invincible in the same realm. The result is obvious. "Boom——"

There was a huge explosion.

A figure rushed out, spitting out blood, his face pale.

"Evil... evil soul master!! The Eighth Prince is actually colluding with an evil soul master!"

The old man looked at the other person with eyes full of shock and fear.

Evil soul masters are also notorious in the Sun and Moon Empire!
No one expected that the Eighth Prince would actually collude with the evil spirit master! If this were to get out, the royal family would lose face!
"Hehehe, you know too much."

The man in black robe waved his hand, and dozens of people behind him rushed towards the Sixteenth Prince.

Because Xu Tianan is more important, the men brought by the black-robed man this time are also extremely powerful. Most of them are from the Imperial City Guards, including a Soul Saint and three Soul Emperors.

"Your Highness, run away! I will stop them!!" The old man was not from any other force, but a close confidant of Xu Tianan who was recruited by chance. He was also extremely loyal to Xu Tianan and directly used his body to block Xu Tianan.

In an instant, the old man was engulfed by countless artillery fire and his life or death was unknown.

"Old Mo!"

When Xu Tianan saw this scene, his eyes suddenly turned red with anger. At the same time, he summoned a large number of soul guide shells and launched a crazy counterattack.

The guards of the mansion were quite loyal, with only a dozen of them running away. Most of the guards chose to defend the mansion until death.

Unfortunately……

The gap in power between the two sides is too great...

A few minutes later.

The man in black robe walked out of the Sixteenth Prince's residence with his men, and then set a fire to the rear.

"Hula-"

In an instant, the raging fire spread throughout the entire mansion, the flames shot up into the sky, illuminating half of the sky.

……

at the same time.

Similar incidents occurred in the palaces of the eighteenth prince, the twentieth prince, and the other ten princes who participated in the fight for the throne...

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

……

……

The next day.

The piece of news instantly caused a sensation in the entire imperial city.

The evidence is solid that the Sixteenth Prince joined forces with several other princes to murder the Emperor!
The eighth prince led people to capture them, the ninth prince confessed to his crimes, and the sixteenth prince burned himself to death out of fear of punishment.

The eighth prince moved into the palace, took charge of the government, and announced a three-day silence for the whole country.

……

……

The moment everyone received the news, they were stunned and had no idea what was going on.

The old emperor passed away last night, and no one has recovered. Today, we heard such a heavy news. Who can bear it...

Especially those forces that supported these princes, when they woke up, they felt like the sky had fallen!

Outsiders may only have a vague understanding of the situation, but people like them who are powerful can see the situation!

They didn't know how the old emperor died, but they knew that the Eighth Prince took advantage of this opportunity to eliminate dissidents and wipe out all competitors in one fell swoop!
What is most puzzling is how the Eighth Prince, a scoundrel who only eats and waits for death, could have the strength to capture the Sixteenth Prince and nine other brothers overnight!
This is a bit outrageous!
The only good news is that the Eighth Prince only dealt with his brothers and did not involve the related forces...
