Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 210: Forcing the Emperor to Abdicate

The sound of the cloud-piercing arrows blooming in the sky above the royal hunting grounds was extremely loud, and the fireworks burned all over the dark sky like a golden swan spreading its wings and flying.

The swan is the official symbol of the Tiandou royal family.

The golden swan is even more noble. Even in the royal Xue family, the only people qualified to use it are the emperors and the crown prince of all dynasties.

The only exception is the Royal Knights.

……

Qibao Glazed Sect.

Ning Fengzhi stood on the top of the castle and looked up at the golden swan that was about to disappear in the distant sky.

"That direction is the royal hunting ground."

"Alas, it is such an eventful time. I have not slept well tonight."

He turned his head to look at Sword Douluo Chen Xin beside him and said helplessly:

"Uncle Jian, come on, accompany me to the palace."

"Such a big thing has happened. As the prince's teacher, I have to go there for both moral and logical reasons."

……

Tiandou City, the inner city center, the imperial palace.

The prince's bedroom.

"Golden Swan's Cloud-piercing Arrow! How could it be..."

Xue Qinghe heard the sound, came out of meditation, walked to the window and saw the golden swan fireworks which had not yet dissipated in the distant sky.

"I didn't receive any news, who could have done it?"

"Uncle Ci, Uncle She."

"Young Master." Two old voices sounded at the same time, and Thorny Porpoise Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo appeared silently behind Xue Qinghe.

"Has there been any news from home recently?" Xue Qinghe asked quickly, still looking up into the distance.

Hearing this, Thorny Porpoise Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo looked at each other, seeing the doubt in each other's eyes, and then answered in unison with a firm tone:

"No."

No? Xue Qinghe frowned.

Over the years, that woman has been urging him (her) to take the throne of Tiandou as soon as possible. According to the other party's personality, it is not impossible for her to do such a thing without telling him (her).

But the current situation did not allow Xue Qinghe to think too much. As the crown prince of the Tiandou royal family, after such a major event, he had to rush to his adoptive father, Emperor Xue Ye, to discuss countermeasures.

"Uncle She, go to the hunting ground immediately to investigate the situation."

One of the two Titled Douluo had to stay behind to ensure his safety, so only one Titled Douluo was sent to the scene of the incident.

"Yes." Snake Spear Douluo answered briefly, then jumped out of the window and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

On the other side, Xue Qinghe also calmed down his emotions, put on an appropriate anxious look, walked out of the bedroom door, and hurriedly walked towards the bedroom where Emperor Xue Ye was.

The Thorny Porpoise Douluo hid his aura and lurked in the darkness, silently guarding the young master's safety from a distance.

……

At five o'clock in the morning, the sky was slightly bright.

At this time, the sun had just emerged from the horizon in the east.

Tiandou City, outside the main hall of the Spirit Hall.

A group of Royal Knights wearing heavy armor and riding Heavenly Soul Horses surrounded the place tightly. "What do you mean? Are you thinking of going to war with the Spirit Hall?"

Lawrence, the new bishop of the Wuhun Hall of Tiandou City, stood on the steps of the hall, his face flushed and his expression angry.

Behind him, a group of Spirit Hall's top leaders were looking at the scene outside the hall, their eyes wary and their hearts filled with anxiety.

If the Tiandou Empire really breaks off relations with the Spirit Hall, they will surely die.

"Start a war?" Xue Qinghe, who was at the front of the crowd, took a step forward and said:
"I think Bishop Luo must have seen the golden swan arrow that pierced the clouds in the sky above the outskirts of Tiandou City a few hours ago."

"Tonight, your colleague, the former Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, Sarath, sneaked into the Royal Knights' barracks and brutally killed the Royal Knights' Captain Xue Zhong."

"Before he took action, Salas admitted that he did this at the Pope's behest."

"You openly attacked and killed the leader of the Royal Knights. I'm afraid your Spirit Hall is planning to go to war with our Tiandou Empire!"

"If the Spirit Hall cannot give a satisfactory explanation for this matter, then let's fight. The Heaven Dou Empire is ready to fight to the end!"

"Of course, before that, you and your group will be held hostage in our hands. Whether you can survive depends on the sincerity of the Pope you are loyal to."

Having said this, Xue Qinghe waved his hand and shouted:

"All soldiers, listen up! Capture them! If there is resistance, kill them without mercy!"

"Yes!"

There were earth-shaking shouts all around, and the Royal Knights had anger in their eyes. After receiving the order, they rushed forward on their Sky Soul horses.

In this situation, Lawrence and other high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall knew that resistance would only result in death. If they obeyed them and became hostages for a few days, they might be able to survive.

Because it was not only the Royal Knights that surrounded this place, but also the Sword Douluo Chen Xin beside Ning Fengzhi, and the royal worshiper Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

The two Titled Douluo guarding here directly killed their thoughts of escaping.

Therefore, with an overwhelming desire to survive, they suppressed their inner humiliation and surrendered obediently, allowing the knights' soldiers riding on their Sky Soul horses to trample them under their hooves.

Beside Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi stood beside him as the prince's teacher. Looking at the majestic appearance of the Tiandou Crown Prince at this moment, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

The dog-eat-dog fight in the Spirit Hall is indeed a good show.

On the other side, Prince Xuexing stood on the other side of the Xueqing River, seemingly watching solemnly and seriously, but his mind was no longer here.

A country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and similarly, the Royal Knights cannot be without a leader for a day.

Xue Zhong is dead, and the position of the leader of the Knights Templar is vacant. A new leader must be chosen from the two deputy leaders to take over the position.

He must seize this godsend opportunity.

Only with the support of the Royal Knights will his good nephew, the Fourth Prince Xue Beng, have a chance to defeat Xue Qinghe in the battle for the crown prince and become the next Tiandou Emperor.

Under the emperor's mindset, any one of the two deputy captains could take over the position of captain.

Therefore, he had to make plans for both scenarios to ensure that no matter which deputy leader succeeded to the position of leader, he would have the support of the other party.

"Uncle Zong and I have a very good relationship, but the relationship with Deputy Head Jin Wen is average, so we need to improve it."

Xue Xing was very active, thinking about how to improve the relationship between herself and Jin Wen.

According to his understanding of his brother Xue Ye, the candidate for the position of leader of the Royal Knights will be decided tonight at the earliest and tomorrow at the latest.

Time was running out, and he really couldn't think of any good solution for a moment. He was secretly anxious. After the Knights detained all the members of the Spirit Hall, he left in a hurry.

Xue Xing's actions were all seen by Xue Qinghe without leaving any trace.

So what if he is the current emperor's trusted younger brother? He is the rightful heir to the empire.

Such an occasion to increase prestige could only be given to him, the future emperor of the empire, rather than a royal prince.
