Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 107 Royal Knights

After Xue Xing left the hall, Xue Ye leaned on the throne and closed his eyes to rest.

The Vast Sea Universe Cover has infinite uses. If it were not impossible, how could he let the national treasure fall into the hands of the Haotian Sect.

That’s right, in Xue Ye’s opinion, the mastermind behind the treasury theft was not Tang San, but the Haotian Sect behind Tang San.

Although the Haotian Sect was forced to retreat from the world due to pressure from the Spirit Hall, as the former number one sect in the world, its sect foundation far exceeds that of the other two sects in the top three.

Xue Ye believed that only the Haotian Sect had such mysterious means to steal the national treasure from the treasury without anyone knowing.

Since the Vast Sea Universe Cover has fallen into the hands of the Haotian Sect, unless their royal family breaks off relations with the Haotian Sect and makes the news of the theft of the national treasure known to everyone, there is absolutely no possibility of getting the national treasure back.

The national treasure was stolen and the royal family has already lost their dignity. If the matter is made into a big issue, they will lose both their dignity and their face.

Therefore, Xue Ye had no choice but to give up the Hanhai Qiankun Cover that had been passed down in their Xue family for a long time.

The detention of Yuexuan was also a basic counterattack to warn Haotian Sect to write off the matter, but not to go too far in the future.

"By doing this, I have cut off the financial resources of those crazy people in the Haotian Sect. They won't do anything outrageous in a fit of rage, will they?"

"No, in order to protect the safety of the palace these days, I want the Royal Knights to surround the palace tightly, otherwise I will not be able to sleep or eat well."

……

Lin's Manor.

Even though it is the White Dew season, the bamboos planted in the courtyard are still thriving and evergreen.

The refreshing autumn breeze blew through the courtyard, blowing the bamboo leaves into the air and falling into the lotus pond, creating ripples.

In the pond, the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon looked at the pairs of koi swimming around and felt bored, so it sank to the bottom of the pond and fell asleep.

In the center of the courtyard, under the bamboo pavilion.

Lin Rong practiced multitasking as usual. He was doing a lot of things with his hands, and he also took some time to check the intelligence that had just been sent:
Xue Zhong is an orphan raised by the royal Xue family since childhood. Because of his outstanding talent as a soul master, he was specially given the surname Xue and the name Zhong by the current Emperor Xue Ye.

He is 48 years old this year, a level 78 strong attack soul saint, and has been the leader of the Tiandou Royal Knights for ten years. He has a very high prestige in the knights.

"Zhong?"

"As an orphan raised by the royal family since childhood, Xue Zhong's loyalty to the royal family is probably at the same level as that of a family-born child."

"Moreover, this person was able to get Xue Ye to give him the surname Xue, so he could be assured of handing over the position of leader of the Royal Knights. Xue Zhong's loyalty is probably the most loyal among all the children born at home."

The information in the intelligence made Lin Rong give up hope of turning this person against the government, so he continued to read on:
Jin Wen was born into a commoner family. His ancestors for three generations were imperial barons, and he was one of many impoverished nobles.

He is fifty-seven years old this year, a level seventy-seven strong attack soul saint, and has been the deputy leader of the Tiandou Royal Knights for more than twenty years. Because he is not a direct descendant of the royal family, he has never been able to become the leader.

"A fallen noble?"

"This person is not a confidant of the royal family, but he can firmly sit in the position of deputy leader of the Knights. His skills and character should not be underestimated. He is a capable person."

"Yes, there is hope of winning them over and inciting them to revolt."

"Take a look at the information of the other deputy leader."

Zong Xuan, an orphan, was rumored to be the illegitimate son of the previous Tiandou Emperor or a prince because his martial soul was a mutated martial soul, the Wind Feather Swan, and he was adopted by the royal family since he was a child.

He is 72 years old this year, and is a 82nd level agility attack soul fighter. He served as the leader of the Royal Knights for more than 30 years. After Xue Ye supported Xue Zhong to take the position ten years ago, his position was demoted to the deputy leader of the Knights. "Wind-feathered Swan? Does it have a swan spirit with wind attributes?"

"Haha, with a swan spirit and being adopted by the royal family since childhood, it's no wonder there are rumors that he is the illegitimate child of a great figure in the previous generation of the royal family."

"I don't know who Zong Xuan's nominal father is. There aren't many people in the world who are qualified to be cuckolded by someone from the royal family!"

Lin Rong's gossip fire suddenly rose in his heart, and he continued to think:

"Although he is a Soul Douluo, his identity as a royal illegitimate child means that he cannot be used by me. Like Xue Zhong, he must be dealt with."

"As for the deputy head named Jin Wen, we can contact him secretly first."

"A good bird chooses a good tree to roost in. If Jin Wen is able to understand current affairs, that would be great. But if he is pedantic and stubborn, he will end up like Xue Zhong and Zong Xuan."

Among the three chief and deputy chiefs of the Royal Knights.

Xue Zhong, the head of the regiment, only obeys the orders of Xue Ye.

The part that Prince Xuexing controls is the knight soldiers under Zong Xuan. Maybe in private, Xuexing even has to call Zong Xuan his uncle.

As for Deputy Captain Jin Wen, both his status in the Royal Knights and his soul master's soul power cultivation are the lowest among the three.

Therefore, Jin Wen's position as deputy head of the group was really unpleasant and it was a position in name only. He only had the status of deputy head of the group, but he basically did not have much power that a deputy head of the group should have.

Even if Jin Wen was loyal to the royal family at the beginning, his experiences in the Royal Knights for more than 20 years would probably freeze even the warmest heart into ice.

In this case, as long as Jin Wen's ideas are not so pedantic and stubborn, and the benefits are enough, it should be easy to win him over and persuade him to defect.

Lin Rong looked at the piece of white paper on the table which contained detailed information about the top leaders of the Royal Knights, and was very satisfied with Dugu Bo's ability to do things.

"Dugu Bo did a good job in collecting intelligence on the top leaders of the Royal Knights."

"It should be said that Prince Xuexing trusted Dugu Bo too much and disclosed such confidential information to Dugu Bo."

"Dugu Bo has done so many things diligently, and as his master, I should show some appreciation."

"It seems that I need to intensify my training recently and strive to break through to level 60 as soon as possible, so that I can take Dugu Bo to find Yang Wudi to detoxify him earlier."

After these days, Lin Rong's own soul power level has already completed half of the progress to level 58, and is only one and a half levels of soul power away from the level 60 mark.

Lin Rong estimated that after about three months of training, he would be able to break through his soul power to level 60.

At that time, he was only ten years and nine months old.

A level 60 Soul Emperor who is less than eleven years old will once again refresh the historical record of this continent.

……

Time flies and three months passed quickly.

In winter, on a snowy day.

In the early morning of this day, Lin Rong finally broke through his soul power from the peak of level 59 to level 60.
