Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 356: A sword honed for a lifetime, waiting for just one opportunity!

"Uncle, do we really have no chance?"

At Prince Xuexing's residence, Xue Beng looked somewhat haggard and pale.

Ever since he learned that Xue Ye was preparing to abdicate in favor of Xue Qinghe, he has been unable to eat or drink.

With Xue Qinghe taking over, will he still have a chance to survive?

All those years of forbearance and pretense were just for Xue Qinghe to slip up and rise to power.

Now, Xueye has actually abdicated and is preparing to become the retired emperor, which is unacceptable to Xue Beng.

"Xue Qinghe," oh "Xue Qinghe," can't you do something to reveal your true colors and lose your position as crown prince?

The idea is wonderful, but Xue Qinghe didn't do anything!

"Chance?"

Xue Xing looked at Xue Beng as if he were an idiot. Even in this state, he was still dreaming of becoming emperor?

Opportunity? What kind of opportunity is there?

Even he now feels that there is nothing wrong with "Xue Qinghe", and even once suspected that he might have wronged his nephew.

If even he is like this, what need is there to say about Xueye?

Almost all the civil and military officials in the court were "Xue Qinghe's" people, and they also had two powerful external supporters.

"Don't even think about it, you've missed your chance."

"If I'm not mistaken, there must be a reason why my brother did this."

"Now that he has stepped down, the two of us are actually the biggest beneficiaries."

Upon hearing Xue Xing's words, Xue Beng felt his head buzzing.

Who benefited the most, him or Xuexing?

I don't know why, but something feels off, like something's not right.

Seeing Xue Beng's puzzled expression, Xue Xing shook her head helplessly.

This nephew is a bit slow...

"Think about it carefully. If Qinghe remains without problems, and your elder brother, who is also your father, passes away, he will be the crown prince and inherit the throne. Will there be any chance for you and me to survive?"

"Even if he's willing to let us off the hook, not to pursue the past, and not to hold us accountable for our schemes."

"So, are you truly willing to relinquish the throne?"

Although Xue Beng didn't say anything, the expression on his face betrayed him.

If he were to die on a snowy night, how could he possibly be willing to relinquish the throne?

In the end, he will lead Xuexing in a rebellion!

"That's right, we'll eventually rebel, and then die in the suppression..."

Xuexing sighed; he now understood Xueye's good intentions.

The royal family is the most ruthless; everyone wants to sit in that position, but unfortunately, there is only one.

If Xue Ye were to pass the throne to Xue Qinghe, and he were still alive, Xue Beng and Xue Xing would not dare to rebel, and Xue Qinghe would not, and had no reason to, kill Xue Beng and Xue Xing.

When he passes away one day, the overall situation will be settled, and whether Xue Beng and Xue Xing live or die will no longer matter.

After listening to Xuexing's words, Xuebeng finally came to his senses and understood Xueye's good intentions.

But he was still somewhat unwilling to accept it.

"Sigh~"

Avalanche sighed; he knew that Snow Star would no longer support him.

At the very least, they won't support his rebellion.

Thinking about it carefully, the path of rebellion is ultimately a dead end. Just the fact that he was a guest advisor in the Crown Prince's residence is enough to make everyone suffer.

Rebellion is out of the question; they could be wiped out in a heartbeat.

"Give up, stop thinking about it."

Xuexing patted Xue Beng on the shoulder, shook her head, and said in a very firm tone.

It was too late for them to do anything at that point.

"Yes, Uncle!"

Xue Beng was extremely grateful to Xue Xing. Without Xue Xing's support and guidance, he would probably be dead by now, with grass growing on his grave at least 20 feet high.

Suddenly, Xuexing seemed to remember something, her eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "Some strange things have been happening recently, so you mustn't go out of the city unnecessarily."

"Even within the city, it's not very safe."

"I have a house next to Zhongli Mansion, let's move there first."

Many commoners, including nobles, are unaware of recent events, but he is different; he is Prince Xuexing!

A prince is the highest-ranking nobleman below the emperor.

He was fairly aware of what had happened recently.

Some monsters "randomly spawn" in certain locations. Right now they're in the wild, but what if they spawn inside the city...?

It should be noted that among these monsters, there are occasionally beings equivalent to or even stronger than Title Douluos.

Staying in the Prince's mansion is not safe at all.

Only when staying near Zhongli Mansion can one feel a slight sense of security.

Xue Xing bought the houses next to Zhongli Mansion a long time ago, or rather, these houses originally belonged to him.

You should know that the Dugu Mansion was given to Dugu Bo by him.

Later, it was given to Zhongli by Dugu Bo, and thus became the Zhongli Mansion.

It's perfectly normal for Xue Xing's house to be located next to the Dugu Mansion.

It's just that we haven't used it before, but now we have no choice but to use it.

"Uncle, what happened that warrants this treatment?"

To be honest, Zhong Li didn't have a good impression of avalanches, especially since he was on the side of "Xue Qinghe".

Now, however, they need to seek refuge near Zhongli Mansion...

As for?

He was the fourth prince of the Heavenly Dou Dynasty, and Xue Xing was an imperial prince.

It's hard to say what would happen to them outside, but this is inside the city!

As long as you don't provoke the Body Sect or offend that Martial God, it doesn't matter where you stay.

Why go right under their noses?

Hearing this, Xuexing sighed. This nephew's obsession was rather deep.

He failed to obtain the throne back then, so he has lived as a playboy ever since.

But does he really have no interest in the throne at all?

No, it's because he's even more patient than an avalanche!

Some people show off their talents, and then they disappear.

But he was different; he had spent his whole life sharpening his sword, waiting for just one chance!

If there is never an opportunity, then take this secret down to the lower realms.

After Xuexing shared the information he had received with Xuebeng, Xuebeng's expression changed. He felt ashamed and indignant about his previous words.

He also understood why Xuexing did that.

What kind of living under someone else's roof is this?

It's just about finding a better place, a safer place.

Thinking of this, Avalanche no longer hesitated and quickly thanked Snowstar.

Without this uncle, he would have had to take so many detours.

Tian Dou City, Zhongli Mansion.

Zhongli has been quite busy lately, and only in the last couple of days has he had some free time to have tea and chat.

"Sect Master, the Thousand Rock Set has been distributed, and everyone has performed the blood oath ceremony..."

Du Bafang cupped his hands in greeting to Zhong Li, preparing to report on his work.

He also had the Thousand Rocks Set. Only after experiencing the power of this set could one know just how terrifying Zhongli was.

"Um."

Zhongli put down his teacup and responded.

This period was the busiest time for him since he came to Douluo Continent. He didn't dare to waste a single minute and managed to produce three thousand sets of Thousand Rock Sets in a very short time.

Xianyun wasn't idle either; she was busy making her own amazing machine.
