Douluo Continent: The Source of Destruction, Qingmei Qianrenxue

Chapter 102 Public Execution of Xue Xing

Seeing these shameless nobles so brazenly engaging in such disgusting transactions inside, Ma Tian was furious.

"A leopard can't change its spots." Shirogane sighed helplessly as he looked at the nobles who had appeared here.

Bai Yin said to Ma Tian and the others, "Let's do it. Leave Xue Xing here. This guy can't just die so easily."

After receiving Silver's instructions, every member of the Knights was ready to unleash their Martial Souls.

After releasing their martial spirits, the knights stormed into the auction house.

Upon seeing the arrival of the Knights, the nobles, lacking any sense of camaraderie, began to act haphazardly, creating complete chaos.

While the other knights were hunting, Ma Tian had already arrived at the top of the auction house. He tore apart the cage that was holding the girl, and then untied the ropes binding her. The girl, exhausted, collapsed weakly onto Ma Tian.

Ma Tian asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, thank you." The girl's voice was very weak.

Then, under the girl's guidance, Ma Tian arrived at a small, enclosed room where more than a dozen girls were being held. After rescuing the girls one by one, all the nobles outside were arrested.

At this moment, Baiyin noticed that Xuexing, the old baby, wanted to take advantage of the chaos to leave.

But how could Baiyin let Baiyin escape so easily? So he flipped over and jumped in front of Xuexing.

Upon seeing Yin Xue appear in front of Xue Xing, Xue Xing angrily said, "Yin Xue, I knew it was you."

"Snow Star, Snow Star, you've still fallen into my hands." Looking at the disheveled Snow Star, Baiyin mocked.

"Hypocritical." Seeing Baiyin's attitude, Xuexing was furious.

"Do you really think you can be my match?" Shirogane revealed a sinister smile.

Then, to Xue Xing's and the others' astonishment, Bai Yin killed them all with a single sword strike, sparing only Xue Xing.

Xuexing fell into a coma and remained unconscious.

Baiyin, dragging Xuexing's body, asked the knights, "How is it? Is everything cleared out?"

Ma Tian said, "Reporting team leader, everything is cleaned up."

Bai Yin nodded and said, "Very good, then this matter will be handled by you. Remember, if you find this situation again, leave no one alive. If I find that even one of you has violated the rules, I suggest giving you a death worse than death. I hope you will not disappoint me."

"yes!"

Afterwards, the knights led all the girls away from there.

The next day, based on the girls' accounts, each member of the Knights took charge of a girl and escorted them back to their original homes.

In the afternoon, at the square of Tiandou City.

Xue Qinghe gathered all the students from Tiandou City and Tiandou Royal Academy together.

The square in Tiandou City was packed with people, bustling with activity.

They're all in cahoots, so why would the new Emperor Xue Qinghe summon them?

While they were all discussing this, Xue Xing, whose entire body was supported by hemp ropes, was lifted half a meter into the air by a tall wooden stick that was more than ten meters long.

Upon seeing Xue Xing, the people of Tian Dou City were all shocked. Xue Xing was a prince of the Tian Dou Empire, and they were very puzzled as to what heinous crime he had committed to end up in such a state.

Just as they were all filled with doubt, Xue Qinghe stepped forward, took out a soul-guided microphone, and said, "I'm sure all of you ministers want to know why Prince Xue Xing was publicly executed. Here, I will tell you everything."

"Prince Xuexing wouldn't have ended up like this, but our Heavenly Dou Empire Knights' investigation revealed that Xuexing is connected to the recent disappearance of a girl."

"This is the last case that should have happened, and the last case that I, as the emperor, wanted to see. Just last night, my Qi Shi Yin Xue risked my life to follow Xue Xing to the gathering place of those nobles who are still obsessed with the past."

"They found the girls who had recently gone missing there, and now these girls are being escorted by the Knights to their families."

"And Xuexing is the mastermind behind this case."

"The reason I am telling you about this matter that you are all so anxious to discuss is that our Heavenly Dou Imperial Family will not protect anyone, even if the criminal is a prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire."

"Silver Snow Knight, execute Snow Star now."

Bai Yin respectfully knelt down on one knee and said, "Yes, sir."

As Bai Yin finished speaking, mysterious dark clouds appeared directly above Xue Xing, and a massive sword of destruction fell from the sky. With a single strike, Xue Xing's head was severed, and he died a gruesome death right before the eyes of all the people of Tian Dou City.

"I hope this is the only time and there won't be a next time, otherwise you will all end up like Xue Xing, especially the auction house managers and staff."

Then, Xue Qinghe took this opportunity to announce new laws and regulations concerning the Heaven Dou Empire.

The public execution concluded after the announcement was made.

Security personnel from the Tian Dou royal family began cleaning Xue Xing's body.

The public execution of Xue Xing has caused quite a stir in the Heaven Dou Empire, with some supporting it and others opposing it.

Those who supported him were mostly commoners and conscientious nobles, while those who opposed him were nobles like Xue Xing.

Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Although Qinghe's actions have exerted absolute pressure, there will also be unknown backlashes." Ning Fengzhi, as Xue Qinghe's teacher, didn't know what to say about Xue Qinghe's behavior today.

"There's nothing we can do about it. That's just how young people are these days. They never consider the consequences of their actions." Clearly, Sword Douluo Chen Xin was a little disappointed with Xue Qinghe's approach, but that didn't mean he didn't support it.

"Putting everything else aside, Xue Qinghe's demeanor is much stronger than Xue Ye's. Perhaps, under Xue Qinghe's leadership, the Tiandou Empire will get better and better."

"I hope so."

The Heavenly Fighting Royal Family.

Xue Qinghe's room.

While massaging Qian Renxue, Bai Yin said, "I reckon the public opinion will start to ferment as soon as you do this."

Qian Renxue said nonchalantly, "What's there to be afraid of? Don't I still have you and your knights? With you all here, I don't need to be afraid. In terms of public opinion, there are still more people who support me."

Bai Yin said helplessly, "You really have a big heart."

That makes sense, though. If these guys are sensible, Qian Renxue will continue to be the Emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire; if they're not, they'll fake their death and escape back to the Spirit Hall.

"My lord, we have located the location of the Broken Clan. We can depart at any time."

Military training starts tomorrow. If I don't update even once in September, it means I've run out of chapters. I'll update irregularly after military training ends. In the meantime, you can check out my new book, "Douluo: Reincarnation in the Void, Starting from an Encounter with Qian Renxue".
