Douluo Continent: Half-level Innate Realm, but a Sword Cultivator with a Heart-Only Mind

The so-called assassination of Emperor Qinghe was, of course, a staged drama orchestrated by Qi Dao and Qian Renxue.

The assassinated Emperor Qinghe was merely a double handpicked by Qian Renxue.

This stand-in is identical to Xue Qinghe in both height and build. Furthermore, with the human skin mask made using special techniques, even a Soul Douluo would find it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake unless the Martial Soul is released.

As for Title Douluo?

Although the titled Douluo can reveal some clues, unfortunately, most of the titled Douluo in the Heaven Dou Empire are currently on their own side.

Therefore, to the onlookers at the time, the stand-in was Emperor Qinghe himself.

As for the Soul Douluo with the White Tiger Martial Soul and two 100,000-year Soul Rings, it was naturally Qian Renxue in disguise.

Relying on the disguise skills of the Angel Soul Bone, even a Title Douluo could not see the slightest flaw.

Now, she deliberately spread the message that the assassin was a member of the White Tiger Sect of the Star Luo Empire.

The White Tiger Sect and the Dai family of the Star Luo Imperial Family share the same lineage.

Because the Star Luo Empire feared the rise of the Heaven Dou Empire, it sent the White Tiger Sect's forces to assassinate Xue Qinghe.

This explanation, of course, could not fool the core leaders of the two empires who knew the truth, but it was enough to convince hundreds of millions of people.

Because the people will only believe the truth they see with their own eyes; anything else is just an attempt to cover up the truth.

All the people believed that the mastermind behind all this was the Star Luo Empire.

I never expected that the Star Luo Empire would have such a profound foundation.

Just as Qi Dao and Qian Renxue were talking, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the palace.

"Brother, brother!"

Before the person even arrived, a clear shout came from outside the palace.

Before long, a young girl with an elegant demeanor and a pure and lovely appearance walked in from outside the palace.

The girl's face was filled with worry, and her gaze was fixed on the figure on the bed, who was once again barely breathing and pale-faced.

"Brother, are you feeling any better now?"

"Cough cough~"

As soon as Xue Ke finished speaking, Qian Renxue coughed twice, and a smear of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

"Royal brother!!" Upon seeing this, Xue Ke's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly stepped forward to check the situation.

Upon examination, it was discovered that Qian Renxue's health was in extremely poor condition, like a candle flickering in the wind.

Of course, this was all a disguise by Qian Renxue.

She opened her eyes with difficulty, and when she saw Xue Ke, a comforting smile appeared on her face.

"Little sister, you've arrived!!"

"Don't worry, brother isn't..."

"cough--"

"Brother!!"

Before she could finish speaking, Qian Renxue coughed loudly again, this time coughing up several streams of blood, which startled Xue Ke.

At this moment, Qi Dao, who was standing to the side, hurriedly stepped forward, took Qian Renxue's hand, and sent a stream of soul power into her.

Qian Renxue's pale face regained some color, and her breathing became more steady.

Qi Dao was adept at making a complete performance.

Xue Ke also breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this.

Thankfully, the Peerless King is here!

Xue Ke then glanced at Qian Renxue, then looked at Qi Dao and asked, "Peerless King, how is my imperial brother's health now?"

"No matter the cost, please save my brother's life."

However, Qi Dao did not reply immediately, but sighed and hesitated to speak.

Upon seeing this, Xue Ke's face turned pale, and she looked nervously at Qian Renxue.

At this moment, Qian Renxue spoke up, "Little sister, I know my own physical condition best."

"Even with Ado's suppression, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold out for long."

"No, that can't be!"

"Brother, you are blessed with good fortune, you will surely be alright."

Xueke hurriedly shook her head.

She has no other relatives besides Xue Qinghe.

Therefore, she truly did not want anything to happen to Xue Qinghe.

Moreover, as a member of the Heavenly Dou royal family, even if Xue Ke was naive, she knew what Xue Qinghe symbolized at this moment.

If something were to happen to Xue Qinghe, the burgeoning Tiandou Empire would inevitably descend into internal strife.

Xue Qinghe said weakly, "Little sister, everyone dies eventually. I just died a little too early."

"With your older brother gone, you'll have to walk this path alone from now on."

"Don't worry, I will pass the throne to you before I die, and afterwards..."

"You are the only female emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire!"

"Wh...what?"

"I'll become an empress?"

"Brother, you know I'm not good enough." Xue Ke said sadly, shaking her head frantically.

This statement came from the bottom of her heart.

She has never had much ambition, and from childhood she was taught aristocratic etiquette, and had no interest in governing the country.

However, she did not know that it was because of this thought that Qian Renxue came up with such a plan.

Qian Renxue coughed once, her tone becoming more stern.

"Little sister, if I say you can do it, you can do it!"

"Soon you'll be the only one left in the entire royal family."

"A country cannot be without a leader for a single day. If you don't take that position, are you going to watch your ancestors' hard-won empire be handed over to others?"

Qian Renxue looked stern; at this moment, she truly seemed to be Xue Qinghe.

Xue Ke stood there, stunned, looking at her stern-faced older brother, countless thoughts flashing through her mind.

She thought to herself, "As expected, how could such a brother be a spy for the Spirit Hall?"

"All of this is a fabrication by outsiders!"

In fact, people outside were saying that Xue Qinghe was a spy for the Spirit Hall.

Even Xue Ke had doubts about Qian Renxue's disguise as Xue Qinghe.

The first time she dispelled her concerns was when she killed Bibi Dong in front of countless people in Qi Dao Wen Jian Wu Hun City.

However, although she had dispelled her concerns, a thorn still lingered in her heart.

And at this moment, that thorn completely disappeared.

"Ahem~"

"Little sister, my days are numbered. In the next few days, I will arrange everything for you so that you can sit in this position securely."

This time, Xue Ke looked at the barely breathing Qian Renxue and did not shake her head in refusal.

She said in a deep voice, "Brother, I understand!!"

……

Three days later, Xue Qinghe, hailed as the greatest and most brilliant emperor in the history of Tiandou, died after being assassinated.

Before his death, he made a series of arrangements, ultimately placing his younger sister Xue Ke on the throne, making her the first female emperor in the history of the Heaven Dou Empire!

The entire empire was shaken.

Some lamented the untimely death of this brilliant and ambitious emperor, while others marveled at his decisiveness.

Meanwhile, within the Star Luo Empire.

Emperor Xingluo and his entourage were also dumbfounded.

What's going on?

Did Xue Qinghe die from being soaked to the bone like that?

They all guessed that Xue Qinghe had faked his death to escape, but that's precisely why they were even more puzzled.

Isn't Xue Qinghe an undercover agent for the Spirit Hall?

How come he ran away after only two years?
