Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation.

Chapter 407 Change of Dynasty
"How could this happen? Why did it happen like this!" Inside the palace, Princess Xue Ke cried in Lin Chen's arms.

The ministers below were all frowning. Xue Qinghe had just taken over the throne not long ago when he met with an accident. Although his life or death was unknown, any discerning person could see that it would be difficult for Xue Qinghe to come back.

Lin Chen comforted him, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, you are blessed by heaven, nothing will happen to you!"

Xue Ke sobbed and asked, "Based on the appearance of that soul beast, what kind of soul beast is it? Why were all my brother's guards wiped out?"

You should know that the guards under Xue Qinghe are almost all Soul Kings and Soul Emperors, and the leader this time is a Soul Sage. It is incredible that only three people out of the hundred-man guards escaped.

Lin Chen said: "According to the details described by the guards, the tiger soul beast is very likely to be the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger has superb combat power. It is rumored that there is a nearly 60,000-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger hidden in the depths of the Xingdou Great Forest. The 60,000-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is comparable to the king of the forest - the 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape!"

Hearing this, Xue Ke looked hopeless. He looked at Lin Chen and begged, "My husband, although Ke'er doesn't want you to take risks, the matter of the Heaven Dou Emperor is of great importance and is related to the fate of the Heaven Dou Empire. Can you please go to the Xingdou Great Forest to investigate?"

As soon as Xue Ke said this, the ministers knelt down one after another and shouted loudly: "Prince Lin, please rescue His Majesty..."

Lin Chen waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please stand up! Your Majesty regards me as a brother. Even if I am the Prince of Tiandou, I am still the consort of the emperor. I should save Your Majesty from danger!"

"Thank you, Prince!!!!"

Lin Chen looked at Xue Ke and comforted her, "Ke'er, the Tiandou Empire cannot be without a ruler for a day. I'll trouble you to work hard these few days and stay in the palace to prevent the empire from falling into chaos!"

"Yes...husband, husband, be careful and make sure to return safely!" Xue Ke said worriedly.

Lin Chen said goodbye to Xue Ke and headed directly towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

He was away for a week, and when he returned, his face was full of fatigue.

……

"Husband, how is it? Have you found your brother?" Xue Ke came up to him and asked as soon as he returned to the palace.

The ministers also received the news of Lin Chen's return and rushed to the palace.

Lin Chen sighed softly and said, "I haven't found any trace of your majesty!"

As he spoke, Lin Chen took out another silk scarf that was covered in dirt.

Upon seeing this, Xue Ke immediately burst into tears, "It's my brother's scarf, it's my brother's scarf!" Xue Ke snatched the scarf away and cried loudly.

The ministers arrived one after another, and seeing the situation, they all sighed and looked sad.

After a long time, Xue Ke had already burst into tears, her tearful eyes fixed on the scarf in her hand.

A minister then stood up and said, "Prince, Princess, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Both Xingluo and Wuhun Hall are eyeing our Tiandou Empire covetously. I beg the princess to succeed the throne!"

"I beg the princess to take the throne!!!"

"I beg the princess to take the throne!!!"

"I beg the princess to take the throne!!!"

"..."

The minister's words were echoed by everyone. Lin Chen said, "Ke'er, they have a point. You must cheer up at this time and look after the Xue family's Jiangshang!"

It must be said that as soon as Lin Chen said this, a hint of joy appeared on the faces of the ministers.

The Tiandou royal family is weak, and Lin Chen is a respected master. They are really afraid that the Tiandou Empire will fall into Lin Chen's hands. Compared to Lin Chen, it is easier to do things under Xue Ke.

Xue Ke raised her head, glanced at the ministers below, and then looked at Lin Chen beside her, as if she had made a decision in her heart. Xue Ke took out a golden object from the storage space.

She glanced at the ministers below and said, "I once discussed with my brother about the development of the Tiandou Empire. My brother has never married and has put all his energy into governing the country. He is also worried that something unexpected might happen one day, so he left a will. Ke'er knows that she is not the best candidate to be the king."

As she spoke, Xue Ke opened the imperial edict and read it aloud.

"..."

"Wow..."

The content of the imperial edict caused a commotion, and the ministers looked at Xue Ke and Lin Chen with incredible eyes.

The will stated that if Xue Qinghe met with an accident, the throne of Tiandou would be handed over to Lin Chen. If Xue Ke and Lin Chen had children in the future, the throne would be passed on to their children.

The thing that the ministers feared the most finally happened. The Xue family's empire was completely changed, and from now on the Tiandou Empire would be named Lin instead of Xue.

But the ministers below were all Xue Qinghe's confidants, and the disobedient ministers had long been replaced by Xue Qinghe.

Now facing Xue Qinghe's imperial edict, the ministers wanted to object, but they could not.

At this time, Lin Chen said: "No, Ke'er, the Tiandou Empire is the Xue family's kingdom, and I have no ambition to be here!"

Hearing this, the ministers finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Xue Ke's face was full of love.

"Husband, I know your concerns, but I know my own worth. If I sit on the throne, I'm afraid the Tiandou Empire will be destroyed in my hands. My brother also considered this at the time and made such a decision! So you don't have to refuse the throne, just sit there with peace of mind!" Xue Ke said bluntly.

"This..." Lin Chen hesitated to speak, his face full of hesitation.

Xue Ke explained the situation directly, and even expressed Xue Qinghe's concerns at the time. The ministers below saw that the situation was hopeless, and they all shouted, "Please let Prince Lin take the throne!!!"

"Please let Prince Lin take the throne!!!"

"..."

Lin Chen looked embarrassed, but the ministers' calls became louder and louder, and finally Lin Chen could only nod and agree.

Three days later, the succession ceremony began, and Lin Chen became the new emperor of the Tiandou Empire, which made everyone feel incredible.

But Lin Chen has a very good reputation among the people, and this is welcome news to ordinary people.

But this is definitely not good news for those in power in the Star Luo Empire.

After Lin Chen succeeded to the throne, he did not make any reforms to the Tiandou Empire. It remained the same as before. Qian Renxue had already put the empire in order and had reformed where necessary.

Lin Chen just needs to be the emperor and everything can be accomplished through the secret guards left by Qian Renxue.

In three days, Lin Chen had sorted out everything.

Since Lin Chen succeeded to the throne, Xue Ke also moved into the palace.

At night, while having dinner, Lin Chen said to Xue Ke: "Ke'er, you know I have my own training plan, so I still need your help on weekdays!"

Xue Ke understood what Lin Chen meant. Having been with Lin Chen for such a long time, she already knew that Lin Chen liked to be a hands-off manager. However, managing the Prince Consort's Mansion and managing an empire are two completely different things. Xue Ke hesitated and said, "Ke'er, I don't know if I can do it well!"
