Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 106 Father and Son Game
No one answered Qian Renxue's question. She was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke, "My father suddenly decided to go inspect the main city. Have you found out who instigated this?"

Snake Spear Douluo: "No unfamiliar faces have met with the Emperor recently, and the officials in the court are the same as usual, with no signs of abnormality."

"Only one elder of the royal family reportedly failed to break through, resulting in damage to his arm, and was forced to sacrifice it to survive."

Qian Renxue sneered upon hearing this: "Oh, there is such a thing. This prince doesn't even know. Who is the emperor guarding against? His beloved son?"

She sorted out her thoughts and recalled what had caused Xue Ye to become wary of him. Even when he had secretly poisoned the eldest prince and the third prince in the past, Xue Ye had acquiesced. Why would he suddenly change his attitude?

"unless……"

Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes slightly, "It can't be that loser Xue Beng, nor is it an illegitimate child. It must be him himself."

But she had been secretly poisoning Xue Ye with a chronic poison prepared by Yang Wushuang, the Thousand Purple and Red Poison.

Let Xue Ye think that he was old and weak and leave the affairs of state to the prince. Why did he suddenly change his mind?

She turned around and asked, "Has Yang Wudi not been caught yet?"

Snake Spear Douluo shook his head: "Yang Wudi has been in the Xingluo Empire for many years and is very familiar with the surrounding environment. In addition, Bai He, the leader of the Min clan, is helping him, so it is difficult for our people to find him."

"The Xingluo Empire is also tacitly rejecting the Spirit Hall. Even if they can't capture Yang Wudi, they won't let us get close."

Qian Renxue nodded. Yang Wudi could rival a Titled Douluo, so it would not be an easy task to catch him.

With Yang Wushuang, who is also from the Poyi Clan, in the Spirit Hall, Yang Wudi's value is not worth sending a title to search for him.

"If that's the case, Xue Ye can't find anyone to detoxify him, and he can't trust Dugu Bo to examine him. That leaves only one possibility."

Qian Renxue's voice was cold, "He is going to break through to the Titled Douluo realm."

After breaking through to the Titled Douluo, the soul master's upper limit of about 100 years will immediately double, and his body functions will return to their peak.

Only in this way can Xue Ye continue to be the emperor, and the prince will not be so important.

Hearing this, Snake Spear Douluo recalled the intelligence he had read and added, "Yesterday, a secret agent reported that the Imperial Medical Bureau had transferred three blood-replenishing holy products, ninth-grade blood ginseng, a few months ago."

"It seems to be correct."

The gilded candlesticks cast flickering shadows in the study. Qian Renxue's fingertips unconsciously caressed Xue Qinghe's face. "Elder She, has the emperor confirmed the route map for his inspection of the main city?"

The old man in the shadows spoke in a low voice, his footsteps particularly clear in the silence. He handed over a secret letter: "We have people in the army. All six routes are close to Sunset City. However, the size of His Majesty's personal guard is three times that of previous years. The personal guard requires clean backgrounds, so it is difficult to insert people."

Qian Renxue sneered and ordered, "There's no need to force the personal guards. Elder Cixue, take two teams of Soul Saints and infiltrate the Soul Hunters, waiting for an opportunity to strike."

She pressed the secret letter against the candle flame, the flickering flames casting a flickering shadow on her features. "Tell Yang Wushuang I want him to recalculate Xue Ye's poison cycle tonight and prepare a second plan."

"Also, send a letter back and send someone to back up. If Xue Ye really did secretly break through to level 90... just leave him half alive."

Qian Renxue didn't want to kill Xue Ye, but she liked safe plans. If Xue Ye was killed and it was discovered that it was done by the Spirit Hall, it would be detrimental to her plan to control the Tiandou Empire in the future.

Moreover, a peaceful transition of the Tiandou Empire is in line with her original plan.

"Yes."

Snake Spear Douluo went to write a letter.

Qian Renxue's lips curled into a cold smile. In this chess game between father and son, she, the true chess player, ultimately came out on top.

…On the other hand, Emperor Xue Ye was even more cautious than Qian Renxue had imagined.

He took advantage of the one month between the end of the preliminaries and the finals to propose an inspection of the major cities. On the surface, it was a whim to inspect the prince, but in fact he wanted to hide it from everyone and make a breakthrough quietly.

Xue Ye had no intention of entering the Sunset Forest. Instead, he planned to stay under the protection of the army in the city and ask the royal priests and Dugu Bo to seriously injure the soul beast and then transport it out.

The human and material costs consumed during this period were extremely huge, and inviting Dugu Bo required favors and rare resources.

But Emperor Xue Ye has the courage.

As for guarding against Xueqing River, it is a matter of course.

Xue Ye had let Xue Qinghe go before because he seemed to be doing well on the surface, and Xue Ye had few offspring, so he had no other choice.

It’s different now. Xue Ye believes that he can live a “second life” and become a rare Titled Douluo Emperor.

The huge convoy set off, and its first stop was Tianshu City, which was the closest to Tiandou City. In fact, the convoy soon changed its route and headed for Sunset City, which was thousands of miles away.

Three hundred armored cavalrymen crushed the dawn mist, and the black gold frame of Emperor Xue Ye was surrounded by eighty-one black tortoise guards. In the lingering scent of agarwood in the carriage, an old man's skinny fingers were stroking the elixir in the jade box.

"Your Majesty, the secret guards have discovered three soul beast territories, and the priests have already headed to the Sunset Forest." The voice of the royal elder came wrapped in soul power.

Xue Ye's cloudy eyes sparkled with brilliance. He lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the dark clouds rolling in the sky.

The shackles that should have been broken through more than ten years ago have now been forcibly broken through with the stimulation of the super evolution device - the seventh soul bone.

As long as he obtains the ninth soul ring, his decayed body will be able to regain vitality. Then he will complete his unfinished great cause and lead the empire to completely surpass the corrupt and arrogant Xingluo Empire.

"Pass the order to seal off Sunset City and keep an eye on news from Tiandou City."

Xue Ye is ready to make great plans, and picks up the emperor's suspicion again, no longer trusting his most "promising" son.

"Here!"

……

"It's so lively."

Gula transformed himself into a man in black and followed the convoy from a distance.

He didn't have Qian Renxue's intelligence network, but he could cheat and read the "script". When he saw the turbulent future time and space, he knew something was going to happen.

As expected, a few months later, "Gula" reminded him that if he did not intervene in advance, the Tiandou Empire would become Qian Renxue's one-man show in the future.

He would be in trouble then. Testing Lakong openly or secretly would be enough to make him anxious and waste his time in cultivation.

Gula grumbled in a low voice: "Just when I gained some strength, I have to be responsible for mediating the conflicts between the top forces on the continent. It seems that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."

He controlled his mind power to restrain his breath and chased after the convoy. His black robe was not conspicuous in the cloudy sky.

"But I'm not a superhero, and I'm not interested in saving the world."

As Gula was chasing the convoy, he was struggling with how to strike the right balance. He couldn't let Qian Renxue become too powerful, nor could he let Emperor Xue Ye completely break off relations with the Spirit Hall and trigger a war, so as to buy himself time to develop.

"It's difficult."
