Chapter 242 Qian Renxue Exposed!

Upon arriving outside the palace again on a snowy night, Qian Renxue clearly sensed an unusually heavy atmosphere in the air!

But strangely, at a glance, the entire palace was completely empty, not even a single maid was present!

Gu Rong didn't give Qian Renxue a chance to ask any questions. With a flash, he had already entered the palace. Upon seeing this, Qian Renxue's ecstatic joy subsided considerably. Almost instinctively, she clenched the ring in her hand—the emperor had passed away, and others could choose not to come, but how could her three blood relatives, Xue Xing, Xue Ke, and Xue Beng, not come!?

But he only called himself!

But having come this far, Qian Renxue had no way out and could only bite the bullet and step into Xueye's palace.

The vast palace was empty except for a handful of people: Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Ning Fengzhi, and Tang San, who was guarding Xue Ye's side!

Xueye, who should have already passed away, was now lying peacefully in bed. Although her face looked somewhat haggard, she was still some distance from dying.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue's heart sank to the bottom.

Seeing this scene that resembled an interrogation, Qian Renxue knew exactly what had happened.

At this moment, Qian Renxue understood many things, but on the surface, she still feigned surprise and joy, staring blankly at Xue Ye, and stammered, "Father...aren't you...?"

"Why!"

Xue Ye sighed painfully, struggling to sit up with Tang San's help. Looking at Qian Renxue's familiar face, he angrily rebuked, "You beast! Kneel down!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes, her complex emotions gradually subsiding. Then she heard Xue Ye's angry, hateful shout beside her: "I ask you! Did you kill Qinghe?! Did you kill my other two children?! Did you collude with the Spirit Hall to poison me?!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue completely dropped her pretense. Her expression turned icy, and after surveying the room with a solemn and ruthless look, she clicked her tongue and said, "Hmph! All for naught!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Ye seemed to age ten years in an instant. All her strength was drained away, and she became limp. If Tang San hadn't supported her, she probably would have collapsed to the ground!

Before this, Xueye still held a sliver of hope, thinking that the crown prince she had chosen wasn't entirely beyond redemption.

Perhaps the Spirit Hall forced her into this situation?

Perhaps she has some unspeakable secret she's hiding?

Even knowing that the prince in front of her was not her son, Xueye still cherished their past relationship. In fact, until Qian Renxue revealed herself, Qian Renxue was more important to Xueye than Xue Beng!

After all, Xueye had poured all her heart and soul into Qian Renxue, giving her all her trust. This feeling of betrayal, even in the midst of a stormy night, couldn't help but leave her disheartened.

"What a forbearing prince! Even now, you can remain so calm, unfazed even when Mount Tai collapses before you! If you weren't willing to be a dog of the Spirit Hall, I might have admired you a little!" Chen Xin said indifferently, and waves of sharp soul power slowly rippled out from him.

"Ha!" Qian Renxue chuckled coldly, her hand tightly gripping the soul-guiding ring hidden in her sleeve. Without offering any explanation, she simply asked, "I just want to know, how did you know about those things from back then, which I believed to be flawless?!"

"Hehe! To be honest, Your Highness, the three deans were actually kidnapped by me!" At this moment, Gu Rong revealed a mocking smile, and said with a hint of amusement.

Qian Renxue understood that although Zhilin and the other two were loyal to her, they probably wouldn't be willing to risk their lives for her in the face of the threat of the Peerless Douluo.

However, Qian Renxue still didn't understand why Gu Rong would suddenly take action against Zhi Lin and the other two. Zhi Lin and the other two had a high status in the Heaven Dou Empire. Without any evidence, even if Gu Rong was a peerless Douluo, he couldn't imprison them for no reason!

At that moment, Qian Renxue caught a glimpse of Tang San supporting Xue Ye out of the corner of her eye. A flash of inspiration struck her, and almost instantly she grasped the whole story. She exclaimed in surprise, "Tang San cured Dugu Bo of the pig poison?!"

"Damn that Porcupine Douluo!" Qian Renxue cursed under her breath—if the Porcupine Douluo hadn't been afraid to take responsibility, she wouldn't have been caught off guard!

Gu Rong and Chen Xin glanced at Qian Renxue in surprise, taken aback by her quick wit.

"Qinghe... I'll call you that for now!" At this moment, Ning Fengzhi gently shook his head and kindly advised, "You're already at your wit's end. Surrender! His Majesty, out of consideration for past favors, will at least spare your life. But if the Spirit Hall finds out you failed your mission, you'll surely die!"

When Qian Renxue saw Ning Fengzhi trying to persuade her to surrender, her heart tightened. She dared not be careless in the slightest and didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Her soul power surged throughout her body!

Seeing that Qian Renxue remained obstinate, Ning Fengzhi shook his head in disappointment and could only say to Chen Xin, "Uncle Jian, thank you for your trouble!"

"It's alright!" Chen Xin chuckled lightly, casually flicking out an iron sword.

He's just a mere spy, not even a Soul Saint. It's already an honor that I even have to take action against him. What kind of trouble could he possibly cause?

But it was Chen Xin's momentary contempt that gave Qian Renxue the opportunity!

A delicate shout rang out, and a noble six-winged angel appeared behind Qian Renxue. Qian Renxue then drew a dazzling longsword from the ring on her finger!

The longsword swelled under the holy light of the angels, transforming into a ten-meter-long golden giant sword. Accompanied by distant hymns, it suddenly fell towards Chen Xin!

This sword strike was Qian Daoliu's trump card for Qian Renxue. Even though the energy contained in this sword had long since lost the power of a Limit Douluo over time, it was still a full-force strike from a level 98 Title Douluo, enough to instantly kill 99.9% of the Soul Masters in the world!

"Angelic Martial Soul!? Angelic Holy Sword!?"

At this moment, Gu Rong and Chen Xin's pupils shrank to pinpoints, their composure vanished. Chen Xin's casually thrown iron sword had already been shattered by the aura of the Angelic Holy Sword, and Gu Rong hurriedly summoned his Martial Soul True Body, roaring, "Sect Master! Assist me!"

The sword strike was too fast; Gu Rong didn't even have time to open the black hole!

Qian Renxue's sword strike was enough to destroy the entire palace. Even if Chen Xin and Gu Rong survived, Ning Fengzhi, Tang San, and Xue Ye would surely die!

Ning Fengzhi was a man who had seen many big scenes, so he did not panic. He calmly cast seven beams of auxiliary light onto Gu Rong, and Gu Rong's skeletal dragon aura immediately surged, showing a faint momentum to contend with the Angelic Holy Sword!

But Gu Rong only had time to activate two soul skills before the Angelic Holy Sword fell!

Boom! Boom boom boom!

The Angelic Holy Sword slammed down on the massive head of the bone dragon, and the violent surge of soul power blasted the entire palace apart. The energy that burst forth swept through the entire Heavenly Dou City, centered on the palace!

Tian Dou City was shrouded in a terrifying pressure, as if the end of the world had arrived!

A large hand holding a hammer trembled slightly in the shadows, but ultimately fell silent.

In order to extract the soul bone from his body and for the sake of peace after he and his son leave, Tang Hao does not intend to take action.

Meanwhile, in the Crown Prince's palace, the Porcupine Douluo and the Serpent Spear Douluo were jolted, their eyes widening in shock as they stared at the center of the energy eruption, stammering, "The Angelic Holy Sword!?"

Without hesitation, the two hurried towards the palace in the snowy night!

"puff!"

Gu Rong was, after all, only a level 95 Peerless Douluo. Even if he released his Martial Soul True Body, and even with the full support of Ning Fengzhi, the number one support in the world, he was still no match for the Angelic Holy Sword. His Martial Soul True Body was destroyed, Gu Rong's face turned pale, and after spitting out a mouthful of blood, he flew backward and was caught by Chen Xin.

However, Gu Rong lived up to his reputation as the best defender in the world and managed to withstand the attack of the Angelic Holy Sword. Although he looked quite disheveled because his Martial Soul True Body was broken, he was not seriously injured!

At least he's still alive!

As soon as Gu Rong landed, her first words were a string of curses: "Damn it! Has that old bastard Qian Daoliu gone mad?! He actually sent his own granddaughter to infiltrate the enemy camp?!"

Gu Rong never dreamed that the person in front of him, who was disguised as the Crown Prince of Tian Dou, was actually a direct descendant of the Spirit Hall and the inheritor of the Angel Spirit!

What does the Angelic Martial Soul mean?

It's like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Clear Sky Hammer to the Clear Sky School, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon to the Blue Lightning Tyrant School!

Even more so, after all, the Angelic Martial Soul is a single-lineage martial soul, and it is a legendary divinely bestowed martial soul. Possessing this martial soul basically guarantees the position of the next Pope of the Spirit Hall!

How could someone of such status be sent deep behind enemy lines to infiltrate Tian Dou City, a city surrounded by enemies on all sides?

If something were to happen to us, the lineage of angels would truly be wiped out!
