Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 316 The Snow Night Emperor Dies a Ridiculous Death

"puff…"

Just then, the old man Xueye, who had been blasted away, spat out a mouthful of blood. His mask fell off, and his body was pierced by a granite carving on the wall, leaving him hanging on the wall.

"Who...are you? Why...want to kill me?"

The old man asked Ye Liangchen intermittently on the snowy night, not understanding why the two men wanted to kill him.

At this moment, Xueye felt his life force rapidly draining away, and he feared he couldn't escape this calamity. He was filled with regret: Why did I have to go on an incognito visit to this auction house to see some catwoman? Why did I have to come out of the VIP box? Now I've not only lost face, but I've also lost my life.

"It's actually His Majesty?"

There were many nobles and royalty in the auction hall, and they were all stunned to see that the person vomiting blood was actually Emperor Xueye.

"Help! Save His Majesty!"

The eunuch who had just participated in the auction of the catwoman looked in the direction of the old man in the snowy night and was immediately terrified, shouting loudly.

"Your Majesty, hold on."

The two titled Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect got up from the ground, took Old Man Xueye off the wall, and used their soul power to seal the blood on Old Man Xueye's body.

"Hey, old man, you're actually the Emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire? Why aren't you staying in the palace and being the Emperor? What are you doing here?"

"Old people get old and have difficulty walking, so they should stay at home and enjoy their retirement. Don't run around like young people, or you'll fall and die, sir."

"You, such a great emperor, actually wore a mask. We thought you were the head of the auction house, so we killed you as well. I guess you could call it accidental killing. I'm really sorry! Be more careful in your next life."

Ye Liangchen pretended to be very surprised, and then seriously mocked Emperor Xueye.

"That guy has a really sharp tongue."

The people in the auction hall were utterly furious at Ye Liangchen's infuriating words; they felt like he was killing them with his own words!

"Is this little guy trying to make me laugh to death?"

Poseidon was already laughing to herself, her aloof demeanor almost crumbling.

"puff…!"

"Sword Douluo, two elders, I request your help to kill this person."

Emperor Xueye was so enraged by Ye Liangchen that he spat out a mouthful of blood and hurriedly begged Sword Douluo and Haotian Sect, two titled Douluo, to take action and avenge him.

"Whoosh..."

"Those who are not afraid of death can come over here. I don't mind sending you to hell."

Poseidon flew to Ye Liangchen and pressed down on Emperor Xueye and his entourage with her powerful soul force. Her domineering demeanor was like that of an unparalleled empress.

"Your Majesty, we'll take you back first."

The two titled Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect had a lot to say, but they didn't know whether to say it or not. Wasn't this sending them up to their deaths?

"Whoosh..."

Sword Douluo didn't move. Instead, he summoned his martial soul to protect Ning Rongrong behind him, completely ignoring Emperor Xue Ye.

"Grandpa Sword, they actually killed Emperor Xueye."

Ning Rongrong peeked out from behind Sword Douluo, staring curiously at Ye Liangchen and Poseidon, looking like she was enjoying the show.

"Rongrong, be careful what you say," Ning Fengzhi reminded his daughter to avoid causing trouble.

"Sister Bobo, how much of your strength did you use? That move still didn't kill Old Man Xueye instantly?" Ye Liangchen transmitted his voice to Bobo through his soul.

"I didn't use my full strength, for fear of accidentally hurting others. Also, those two Title Douluos blocked it for me, otherwise the old man would have been dead long ago."

Seeing that the old man in the snowy night was on his last breath, Poseidon didn't intend to make any more moves, since the old man was already exhausted.

"Whoosh..."

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi came to the side of Old Man Xueye, summoned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, and used the healing light to heal Emperor Xueye.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has a close relationship with the Heaven Dou Empire, and Ning Fengzhi, as the sect leader, must show his attitude.

"Sect Master Ning, that old man is already dying, there's no need to save him," Ye Liangchen said, stopping Ning Fengzhi from attempting to save him.

"Young master, why did you kill the emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire? This is to make an enemy of the entire empire."

Ning Fengzhi didn't understand why these two wanted to kill Emperor Xueye, so he pretended to be righteous and rebuked Ye Liangchen.

"Previously, a eunuch kept raising the price, trying to buy the three girls. I suspect he was instructed by Old Man Xueye. It is said that Emperor Xueye is a lecherous man with three thousand concubines in his harem. Now he has his eyes on these innocent cat girl, leopard girl, and rabbit girl. Judging from this, he is not a good emperor."

"I've heard that the Tiandou Auction House is a royal property. They often capture innocent girls and sell them as slaves. Such disregard for human life is an outrageous crime. This old man, as the emperor of the empire, turns a blind eye to this. Do you think he deserves to die? Since he deserves to die, he's going to die sooner or later anyway. Killing him is doing a service to the people."

Ye Liangchen launched a devastating attack on Emperor Xueye, aiming to further provoke him.

"You...you...pfft..."

As soon as Ye Liangchen finished speaking, the old man Xueye suffered a stroke, pointing his finger at Ye Liangchen, unable to utter a word. He then spat out a mouthful of blood a meter high and died instantly.

"His Majesty... has passed away."

The numerous nobles and royalty were stunned to see Emperor Xueye die.

"You killed His Majesty, the Empire will not let you off, and will surely exterminate your entire clan."

Seeing that Emperor Xueye was dead, the eunuch screamed loudly and shouted to Ye Liangchen and Poseidon.

"Heh...! Dare to threaten us? We'll wipe you out!"

Ye Liangchen closed his eyes, and his divine sense transformed into an invisible sword, striking the eunuch and killing him on the spot.

"Ah...! Young master! Spare me..."

The nobles and nobles were shocked to see the eunuch die so suddenly and mysteriously after he finished speaking. They all begged Ye Liangchen for mercy.

"Young master, we do not wish to be your enemy."

When Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Haotianzong, two titled Douluos, saw that Ye Liangchen had killed the eunuch with just a mental attack, they immediately backed down.

"To be our enemy? Do you even have the strength?"

"Today, our Ice Palace is acting on behalf of Heaven. If you want trouble, come at us! We'll be waiting for you on Ice God Island. Also, let me tell you, the man beside me is the Ice Palace's Grand Elder, a level 99 expert. No matter how many of you come, we'll kill them all."

Ye Liangchen was spouting nonsense with a straight face, using the Ice Palace as a fake force to fool the people of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

"Young Master, let's go! It's time to return to Ice God Island."

Following Ye Liangchen's words, Poseidon pulled the guy outside.

"Ice God Island? Ice Palace?"

"That woman is actually a level 99 Title Douluo? Is that true?"

Everyone was dumbfounded as they watched Ye Liangchen and Poseidon swagger out of the auction house, wondering where this Ice God Island had come from.

"Grandpa Jian, what methods did he use? He killed someone without making a sound."

After Ning Rongrong saw Ye Liangchen close his eyes, the eunuch beside Emperor Xueye died instantly. This method was too terrifying.

"It must be a psychological attack."

Sword Douluo muttered to himself, thankful that he hadn't intervened earlier, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

When Ye Liangchen and Poseidon walked out of the auction house, they saw a large number of auction house staff gathered in the square.

Another imperial guard, holding long spears, looked at Ye Liangchen and Poseidon with fear on their faces.

"Why are you all so nervous? Hurry up and pack your things, we've wiped out all those dozen or so Soul Masters at the auction house."

"Oh! Right, and Old Man Xueye is dead too."

After telling everyone about this, Ye Liangchen pulled Poseidon into the air and flew towards the outside of Tiandou City. This time, after killing Emperor Xueye, they had to leave Tiandou City first to avoid the royal family coming to kill them again.

"Has the Great Emperor Xueye passed away?"

After everyone realized what had happened, their jaws dropped in astonishment.

A squad leader of the Imperial Guard immediately dispatched someone to the palace to deliver a message: Emperor Xueye was dead, which was a momentous event for the entire Heavenly Dou Empire.

"His Majesty has passed away... His Majesty has passed away..."

The small squad of imperial guards who delivered the message were also honest men; they ran and shouted as they went, as if afraid that others wouldn't know the emperor was dead.

"Has the Great Emperor Xueye passed away?"

The countless onlookers on the street were completely dumbfounded when they heard the Imperial Guards shout that the emperor was dead.

……

The death of Emperor Xueye shook the entire Tiandou City. The palace was covered in white cloth, and there was a chorus of mourning.

"Drip-drip...thump-thump-thump...thump-thump-thump..."

The Heavenly Dou Royal Family held a grand funeral for Emperor Xueye, which lasted for 20 days. For a time, there was a great commotion with the sound of gongs and drums, firecrackers, and the sound of sluice gates being locked. Everyone enjoyed a feast, making it a very lively occasion.

"Father... Waaah..."

"Brother... Waaah..."

"His Majesty…"

Prince Xue Beng, Princess Xue Ke, Prince Xue Xing, and a group of royal relatives gathered in the mourning hall and wept bitterly.

At this moment, everyone in the palace, regardless of whether they usually liked Emperor Xueye or not, had to pretend to cry.

"Father, you died such a terrible death! Your son will definitely avenge you, sob sob..."

On the surface, Xue Beng was wailing loudly, but in his heart he was laughing wildly: The old man is finally dead, and I, the crown prince, can finally take the throne. Otherwise, I don't know when I would have had to wait.

"Now I don't have to face this old, stale meat every day."

The old man died on a snowy night, and all the concubines were overjoyed. They felt as if they had been freed, especially the concubines who had been involved with the avalanche, who were extremely excited.

The news of Emperor Xueye's passing quickly spread throughout the continent, and various major powers sent representatives to attend the royal funeral.

When the high-ranking members of Tianshui Sect and Tenglong Pavilion received news that Old Man Xueye had been killed by a young man and a white-haired, masked woman at the Tiandou Auction House, they immediately guessed that it was Ye Liangchen and Poseidon.

"The Pavilion Master is incredibly bold!"

Ma Rulong guessed that Ye Liangchen had gone to the Tiandou Auction House to resolve the slave auction matter, but unexpectedly ran into Emperor Xueye and simply dealt with it casually.

However, when everyone learned that Ye Liangchen was using the fake identity of Ice God Island, they understood that the little guy didn't want the Tianshui Sect and Tenglong Pavilion to be targeted by the Empire for the time being.

Shui Lanxin, Ye Cailan, and other high-ranking officials immediately issued a gag order to everyone, forbidding them from speaking about Ye Liangchen and Poseidon's return to the mainland, otherwise it was very likely that war would break out with the Heavenly Dou Empire ahead of schedule.

Afterwards, Shui Lanxin and Dugu Bo rushed to Tiandou City to attend the royal funeral on behalf of Tianshui Sect and Tenglong Pavilion, and also to watch the show.

"Pfft...! I didn't expect Xiao Chen and Sea God Douluo to actually go to Heaven Dou City and even kill the Heaven Dou Emperor. How interesting."

When Bibi Dong received the news at the Papal Palace in Wuhun City, she burst into laughter, bending over with ecstasy.

"Your Holiness, should we send someone to Old Man Xueye's funeral?" Guiju and the other asked Bibi Dong.

"Of course we have to participate. Old Man Xueye is, after all, the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire. We have to give him this much face."

"Yue Guan, Gui Mei, you two will represent the Spirit Hall in the event."

Bibi Dong is currently unavailable, so she directly sent Gui Ju and another person to represent the Spirit Hall at Old Man Xueye's funeral.

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope."

Gui and Ju happily accepted the order, finally able to go out and have some fun.

A few days later, Shui Lanxin, Dugu Bo, and Gui Ju secretly met at the Spirit Hall in Tiandou City.

"I wonder where Young Master Ye has gone? Our men haven't found any trace of him."

Salas, the bishop of the Spirit Hall of Heaven Dou City, was very impressed with what Ye Liangchen had done. He thought it would have been very exciting if he had been there in person.

"Xiao Chen has caused such a big problem, he definitely has to leave."

"Elder Salas, tell your people not to spread rumors. Xiao Chen is using a fake identity to prevent others from knowing that he did it."

Shui Lanxin reminded Salas to avoid the rumors spreading and the Heavenly Dou Empire causing trouble.

"Sect Leader Shui, please rest assured! I have already given instructions that the young master's whereabouts will not be exposed."

Salas understood the gravity of the situation; otherwise, the Pope's 40-meter-long sword would have been slashing down on his head.

"We thought you wouldn't send anyone! It's quite a surprise that Sect Master Shui and Flood Dragon Douluo came in person!"

Gui Ju and the other man looked at Shui Lanxin and Dugu Bo with smiles.

"Old man Xueye is, after all, the emperor of the empire; we have to give him this much face."

Shui Lanxin chuckled. When the Tianshui Sect was established, the Tiandou royal family also sent the crown prince to participate. It was only a matter of courtesy, and the Tianshui Sect couldn't lose face.

"Although we didn't give Emperor Xueye any face when he was alive, now that he's dead, let's go and see him!"

"Yes! Yes!"

Everyone understood that the martial world was not just about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships and social interactions. They then hurried towards the Tian Dou Imperial Palace.

When Shui Lanxin, Dugu Bo, Guiju Douluo, and Salas arrived at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace one after another, the leading figures of the three upper sects also arrived, including Ning Fengzhi, Jian Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen, the second elder and the seventh elder of the Haotian Sect, Tang Lie. In addition, people from the Star Luo Empire, various kingdoms, duchies, and the four lower sects also came.

For a time, the entire palace was bustling with activity. The gathering of powerful figures also put great pressure on the Imperial Guards, who feared that these powerful figures might cause trouble. Therefore, Grand Marshal Ge Long mobilized 200,000 troops to patrol the imperial city continuously.

"Thank you all for attending my brother's funeral."

"Thank you, seniors."

Prince Xuexing, along with Xue Beng and Princess Xueke, thanked the powerful figures.

"Prince Xuexing, Prince Xuebeng, Princess Xueke, please accept our condolences."

The group presented their gifts and offered words of comfort to Xuexing and his two nephews.

"Sect Master Ning, I heard that you and Sword Douluo were present when Emperor Xueye was killed. I wonder who was so bold as to kill Emperor Xueye in public?"

Yu Yuanzhen asked Ning Fengzhi about this matter, as everyone was very curious about it.

"They claim to be from the Ice Palace, from Ice God Island overseas. The white-haired woman is masked, and her spirit rings are eight black and one red, indicating she is a level 99 powerhouse. The young man possesses the strength of a Soul Douluo, with his first two spirit rings being thousand-year spirit rings, and his seventh and eighth spirit rings being 10-year spirit rings. We don't know who they are...."

Ning Fengzhi recounted the process of Emperor Xueye's murder to the group of powerful figures.

Ning Fengzhi had previously speculated that the young man might be Ye Liangchen in disguise, but when the young man revealed his spirit ring, he dismissed the idea. Although Ye Liangchen was a prodigy, it was impossible for him to reach the level of a Soul Douluo in a short time.

"Ice God Island overseas?"

"A level 99 powerhouse?"

Everyone knew that there was a Sea God Island deep in the ocean, but now a powerful figure from Ice God Island had appeared, leaving everyone completely bewildered.

The two titled figures of the Haotian Sect know that there is a Sea God Island deep in the sea. The Sea God Douluo Poseidon is a level 99 powerhouse. I wonder who is stronger and who is weaker between him and the white-haired woman from Ice God Island.

"I wonder what purpose the powerful figures from Ice God Island have in setting foot on the mainland?"

"They killed Emperor Xueye; could they be planning to invade the Heavenly Dou Empire?"

Some onlookers were very curious about the actions of the unfamiliar couple.

"According to what Sect Master Ning said, those two powerful figures saw an innocent girl being auctioned off as a slave at the Heavenly Dou Auction House, which is why they killed her. Emperor Xueye was killed by mistake."

"It seems that it was Tiandou Auction House's disregard for human life that provoked others to speak out against injustice."

Gui and Ju expressed their disgust at the actions of the Tian Dou Auction House. Wu Hun City also has an auction house, but it does not auction people off as slaves.

"Ice God Island, my Heavenly Dou Empire will fight you to the death."

Xue Beng snorted coldly. As the crown prince, he had to make his stance clear in order to win people's hearts and ascend the throne.

"Fourth Brother, if it weren't for you and the Imperial Uncle resuming slave auctions at the Tiandou Auction House, how could Father have suffered such a terrible fate?"

"Father took the blame for the sins you committed, sob sob sob..."

At this moment, Xue Ke heard that the entire process of her father's murder was caused by the slave auction, so she immediately cursed Xue Beng and Xue Xing, and then burst into tears.

"Princess,……"

Tang Yuehua pulled Xue Ke away, comforting the little princess while shedding tears.

"Crown Prince Xue Beng, he dared to openly kill Emperor Xue Ye, he doesn't care about the royal family at all."

"You have no idea how terrifying that young man is. With just a mental attack, he can kill the eunuchs around your father silently. I dare to guarantee that if the Tian Dou royal family dares to cause him trouble, you will all be wiped out by him."

Sword Douluo looked at the avalanche and found it laughable; it had no strength, yet it insisted on courting death.

"Senior Sword Douluo, I heard that young man is only a Soul Douluo. Could he be stronger than that white-haired woman?"

Upon hearing Sword Douluo's words, some onlookers expressed their curiosity about the man. A powerful figure who could elicit such praise from Sword Douluo must be extraordinary!

"Indeed, my intuition tells me that the young man is more terrifying than that level 99 expert."

Sword Douluo recalled the incredible soul ring combination of that young stranger, which was even more terrifying than Ye Liangchen's, and lamented that he was getting old and couldn't keep up with the times.

"This world is getting more and more incomprehensible. First there was Rakshasa Island, and now there's Ice God Island. I wonder what the future holds for the mainland?"

"Yeah yeah!……"

Everyone was deeply moved. The frequent emergence of super powers was an uncontrollable variable in the overall landscape.
