Douluo: Rock King, the King of the World

Chapter 47: Conspiracy in the Palace
One of the top three sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, which dominated the world, was destroyed just like that. Not to mention the members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect; even the royal knights who followed Zhongli to the battle and the soul masters who were loyal to the royal family had a feeling of unreality.

Once upon a time, the emperor of the Tiandou Empire had to treat the elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect as equals. If they really met, Emperor Xue Ye would probably have to bow down to Yu Yuanzhen.

However, Zhongli had already arrived in front of Yu Yuanzhen's body. With a wave of his hand, several crystals separated from Yu Yuanzhen's body and fell into Zhongli's hands. Seeing this scene, many soul masters of the Tiandou Empire felt a little warm in their hearts.

After Yu Yuanzhen died, five soul bones burst out of his body, which could be described as a magnificent explosion. Should we say that he is worthy of being the leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan?
Except for the left leg bone, his soul bones were all complete. Moreover, all of them were over ten thousand years old, and the highest quality "Silver Armor Earth Dragon" torso bone even reached the level of ninety thousand years old.

It is precisely because of this that, although both have the same level of cultivation of 95, Yu Yuanzhen's combat power is definitely much greater than that of Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo of the Spirit Hall, and is also slightly stronger than Gu Rong of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

However, such a powerful being was also killed by Zhongli. In the hearts of the people, there was only shock and admiration.

The empire's expeditionary force then "inspected" the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan's treasury. Although they had been mentally prepared, they were still shocked when they actually entered.

Needless to say, there are all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, and antiques. In fact, these things are all placed in the outer area of ​​the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan's treasury.

Inside, there are all kinds of rare ancient soul guides; weapons made from the bones of soul beasts that are ten thousand or even one hundred thousand years old, and armor made from leather and animal scales. Judging from the casting process, they are probably all made by "master craftsmen". Although they are not very helpful for the real strong, they are absolutely priceless for soul masters with lower cultivation.

"How many soul bones does the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan have collected?"

Dugu Bo paced in the treasure house, and said in amazement. The soul bones that exploded after Yu Yuanzhen's death were all ten thousand year level; and in this treasure house, there were quite a few thousand year level soul bones, which were probably used to reward outstanding junior disciples.

For most soul masters, getting a thousand-year soul bone is nothing to complain about. There are even some particularly unlucky soul emperors and soul saints who don't even have a soul bone at this level.

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan has accumulated so many resources. If they want to establish a separatist regime and tear the empire apart, it would only take a thought. In the past, the empire was defeated repeatedly by Xing Luo, and the shadows of these major sects were indispensable behind it."

An old priest of the Tiandou Empire sighed, with a hint of sadness in his voice.

Once upon a time, the Tiandou Empire also had the opportunity to unify the continent, end the chaos, and usher in a new era of peace. At that time, the Xingluo Empire had not yet unified the southern part of the continent. The Tiandou Empire was the strongest, and there was an ambitious emperor in power. He swept away many principalities and kingdoms in the country and besieged and killed several soul beast kings who were causing trouble. It was the time to make progress and achieve great things.

Although the Xingluo Empire had begun to rise at that time, it expanded and conquered in a brutal and iron-blooded way. Wherever it passed, nine out of ten houses were empty, the local population dropped sharply, and the people's hearts were even more unpopular in the new expansion areas. When the Tiandou army first went south, it won battle after battle and was about to reach the city of Xingluo.

At that time, the Spirit Hall was still called the "Church", and the conflict between it and the Tiandou Empire was not as great as it is today. It also tacitly supported the empire's unification of the continent.

As a result, the top masters of the three sects, including six Titled Douluo, attacked at the same time. The Tiandou Emperor of that generation died overnight; the army that conquered the south suffered a disastrous defeat a few days later and fled back to the Tiandou Empire in a panic. It was also with this great victory that the Xingluo Empire rose completely and laid the foundation for its bloody and cruel hegemony.

At this time, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan was destroyed, and the wealth and heritage accumulated over thousands of years became the spoils of the Tiandou Empire. The soul masters of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan were also escorted by the imperial army to Tiandou City to wait for the next distribution arrangement.

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan is dead. Qinghe, what do you think?"

In the Tiandou City Palace, in a study room filled with a noble atmosphere, the elderly emperor stood in front of an elegant vase with his hands behind his back and asked.

Qian Renxue stood behind Emperor Xue Ye and could not see the expression on the old emperor's face. Qian Renxue thought for a moment, bowed respectfully, and said, "Father, this is a great achievement that will last for thousands of years! The Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan has been looking down on the royal family by relying on its status as one of the top three clans. It has been a long time since they have done so. They have also done so many things that have harmed the interests of the empire, but we had no choice but to swallow our anger in the past."

Emperor Xue Ye nodded, but did not answer. "Father, are you worried that this contribution is too great to be rewarded? If Father has such concerns, why not make the fifth brother the crown prince? If it is the fifth brother, as the emperor's elder brother, I will also be convinced."

Xue Qinghe bowed again, lowered his head, and said.

"Do not."

This time, Emperor Xue Ye's voice suddenly became extremely resolute and heavy.

"On the contrary. After the Soul Master Competition is over, I will make you the Crown Prince. Not only will I make you the Crown Prince, I will also make you the General of the Southern Expedition, commanding the troops of the twenty-two provinces of the world. Even Marshal Ge Long will have to obey your command."

Qian Renxue's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

"Father, why, why is this happening?"

Originally, Qian Renxue should be very happy to hear this. She has been lurking in the Tiandou Empire for so many years, isn't this her goal?
But for some reason, she felt her throat was dry at this moment.

"Qinghe, do you really want to ask me this question?"

Emperor Xue Ye still did not turn around and said lightly.

"I will give you the first test, which is to remove your sister Shadow's military power. Then, keep in touch with your teacher. If necessary, I will give up some of the empire's interests. What he originally wanted, the right to operate the salt industry in the three coastal provinces, the right to open mines in the northern provinces, and the right to raise slaves in the New Alfran Province, can all be given to him."

At this moment, Emperor Xue Ye's voice had acquired a chilling tone.

"My son understands."

At this moment, Qian Renxue had calmed down, and her mind suddenly became clear, and she understood many things. She nodded and answered in a calm voice.

"Also, Bishop Salas, if you want to contact the Spirit Hall, then go ahead. If they have that intention, you don't have to report to me. Just do whatever you want. Anyway, if I guess correctly, you are already familiar with it. Hehe."

Emperor Xue Ye's words seemed to be mocking, but there was no hint of mockery in them. He had gone through the same thing in the past.

"Finally, remember what your father said. As a ruler, only things that you can control are your weapons. If you can't control something, no matter how sharp it is, it is just a sword hanging over your head, causing endless harm. Go."

After saying that, Xue Ye waved his hand, seeming to be a little tired.

Xue Qinghe bowed and then quietly left the study. However, a decision seemed to have flashed in her eyes.
