Chapter 169 Pushing Xue Ke to the top?

Qian Renxue and his party left quickly.

Soon, even the thousands of soul masters in Tiandou Palace receded like the tide.

The mental power caught a large amount of breath and moved away. The huge palace suddenly seemed a little empty, and Lin Chuan suddenly shook his head speechlessly.

The infiltration of this palace is really exaggerated!

"Let's go, Senior Dugu, you're already here, let's go in and check out the situation."

Although he basically knew part of the situation, Lin Chuan still walked into the palace with Dugu Bo.

There were not many people in the entire palace, and only a few maids were left waiting outside the room. However, due to the fierce fighting outside, they had all already passed out.

Lin Chuan glanced casually and reached out to push open the last door.

Emperor Xue Ye was lying flat on the wide bed, covered with a white quilt, with a peaceful expression on his face, as if he was asleep.

Dugu Bo quickly came to the bedside and reached out his hand to touch Emperor Xue Ye's neck in disbelief.

After a moment, he slowly retracted his hand and sighed helplessly.

"As expected, we arrived too late. Emperor Xueye is already dead."

Just like what Lin Chuan said before, Emperor Xueye didn't just die. Even his corpse was hardened. It was just that after some treatment, it didn't smell like a corpse yet.

Even so, the death of Emperor Xueye has become a fact.

The Tiandou Empire is afraid that it will be in chaos!

"What should we do now?" Dugu Bo felt that the matter was extremely difficult.

Lin Chuan also had a headache. He didn't expect that Emperor Xueye would die. Now it was really difficult.

"Father!"

While he was thinking about it, there was suddenly a rush of shouting outside the palace, and footsteps were getting closer and closer.

A figure suddenly broke in, with an anxious look on his face.

"Your Majesty Dugu Mian, Marquis Lin, why are you here?"

The person who came was none other than Xue Ke, the princess of the Tiandou Empire who hurried over after hearing the huge commotion just now. She was also the biological daughter of Emperor Xue Ye.

"Father, how is my father?" Xue Ke came back to his senses and hurriedly rushed to Emperor Xue Ye's bedside.

Lin Chuan shook his head gently, "Emperor Xueye has passed away."

"How could it be?" Xue Ke's face turned pale, and she immediately fell to the ground with a look of disbelief on her face, "Where is the prince's brother? Hasn't he been taking care of his father?"

"Princess Xueke, Emperor Xueye died of poisoning. The prince was also disguised as someone from Wuhun Palace. It should be His Highness Wuhun's poison."

Dugu Bo spoke softly from the side.

Xue Ke suddenly froze on the spot and was speechless for a long time.

The truth is that this incident had such a huge impact on her that it took some time to digest it.

Lin Chuan and Dugu Bo did not disturb her and stood quietly aside.

Not long after, there was a sudden space fluctuation outside the palace, and then two figures walked into the room one after another.

When they saw the body of Emperor Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong both changed their expressions.

Recalling the scene outside the door where they had obviously experienced a battle, both of them looked very heavy. It was obvious that something happened in the Tiandou Palace that they didn't know about.

"Dugu Mian, what happened?" Ning Fengzhi asked in a deep voice.

Dugu Bo glanced at the two of them and didn't hide anything. He told them everything about what they had just experienced.

Ning Fengzhi's face turned extremely ugly when he learned that Xue Qinghe was actually Wuhundian in disguise and had poisoned Emperor Xueye.

When he was in contact with Xue Qinghe before, there was no obvious change in him. Even his teacher, the prince, had not found any flaws. Doesn't this mean that Wuhun Palace had already replaced Xue Qinghe a long time ago?

Thinking about it carefully, Ning Fengzhi felt a chill on his back.

"The methods of Wuhun Palace are really terrible!" Gu Rong also said quietly from the side.

Even the prince of the empire was able to replace him quietly, and he had been lurking in the palace for many years, and was only discovered now. Obviously, he had a big plan!

Seeing that several people were a little uncertain, Lin Chuan shook his head gently, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Now that Emperor Xueye has been murdered, the most important thing is to maintain the stability of the empire first. Someone must stand up and take charge of the overall situation."

"As it should be!"

Ning Fengzhi quickly calmed down and nodded in agreement, "Uncle Gu, please go there in person and invite Prince Xue Xing and Prince Xue Beng."

"good!"

Gu Rong nodded, turned around and disappeared.

Unexpectedly, a moment later, Gu Rong left and returned, but there was no one around him.

"Uncle Gu?" Ning Fengzhi noticed something was wrong and had some speculation in his mind.

Gu Rong slowly shook his head, "Xue Xing and Xue Beng are also dead. Their bodies are in the prince's mansion. When I went there, the whole mansion was empty."

As soon as these words came out, Xue Ke, who was already extremely sad, couldn't bear it anymore and fainted instantly.

In the blink of an eye, she was the only one left in the huge Tiandou royal family.

Ning Fengzhi hurriedly used the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda to briefly treat Xue Ke. However, due to excessive grief, he still needed to rest for a while before he could wake up.

However, she fainted. What should she do with the mess in front of her?

"The Wuhun Palace is so ruthless that they won't even leave a single prince behind."

Ning Fengzhi sighed helplessly, feeling quite troubled by the situation in front of him.

Emperor Xue Ye's sons had died one after another, leaving only the crown prince Xue Qinghe and the fourth prince Xue Beng. Now not only Xue Beng died, but even Prince Xue Xing could not escape.

Now, the Tiandou Empire doesn't even have a successor to the throne.

Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel a little silent, feeling sorry for not being able to save Prince Snow Star.

"Marquis Lin Chuan, His Majesty Dugu, do you have any solution?"

Ning Fengzhi looked up at Lin Chuan and Dugu Bo and asked softly.

Dugu Bo pondered for a moment and tried to say, "If I remember correctly, King Barak Kundera should be the cousin of Emperor Xue Ye. Perhaps he can be in charge of the overall situation."

As soon as these words came out, Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up.

However, before he could say anything, Lin Chuan suddenly took over the conversation, "Why bother so much? Isn't there a ready-made candidate in front of you?"

"You mean...Princess Xue Ke?!"

This suggestion was a bit unexpected for Ning Fengzhi.

But after thinking about it, a few gleams of light flashed in his eyes again.

"That's right, Xue Ke is the biological daughter of Emperor Xue Ye, and she has the blood of the Tiandou royal family flowing in her body. She is undoubtedly the best candidate under the current circumstances!"

"That being said, Princess Xue Ke is a woman after all, and I'm afraid she will be opposed by the ministers..."

Although Ning Fengzhi has been somewhat convinced, he still tells the current problem.

Hearing this, Lin Chuan immediately sneered, "What's wrong with being a woman? Who stipulates that women must not be emperors? Besides, isn't the Pope of the Spirit Hall also a woman? As for other people's opposition, as long as you, Sect Master Ning, choose to support Xue Ke, with the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect as a backer, who dares to say anything?"

The voice suddenly paused, and a hint of deep meaning appeared at the corner of Lin Chuan's mouth.

"What's more, isn't this what you, Sect Master Ning, want to see?"

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi only felt that his thoughts had been completely seen through by Lin Chuan.

But it is indeed as the other party said, if Xue Ke wants to inherit the throne, she will definitely encounter great resistance. If the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect provides support, it will be the merit of following the dragon after everything is accomplished.

By then, with the support of the emperor of the Tiandou Empire, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect will also develop better.

Not only that, from this time, it seems that the Wuhun Hall has great ambitions, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect also needs to rely on the power of the Tiandou royal family to resist.

"What about you, Marquis? Don't you plan to support Princess Xue Ke?" Ning Fengzhi asked with a burning gaze.

Being able to repel several Titled Douluo, Lin Chuan has obviously grown up, and it can even be said that he has become the second Haotian Douluo, or even surpassed Haotian Douluo.

Such an existence will cause changes in the situation no matter what decision it makes.

Therefore, Ning Fengzhi wants to figure out Lin Chuan's thoughts.

Lin Chuan chuckled immediately, "No need to test it, who becomes the emperor makes no difference to me. If it weren't for preventing the Tiandou Empire from falling into chaos, I wouldn't come to meddle in other people's business."

Ning Fengzhi was stunned, obviously not expecting Lin Chuan to say such a thing.

He was a little unwilling to give up, and asked again, "So, Marquis, do you also hope that the Tiandou Empire can maintain its rule?"

"That's right, but it doesn't mean that the Tiandou Empire can't," Lin Chuan said calmly, "I used to be a commoner. As long as I can make ordinary people live better, it doesn't matter to me who is the emperor."

Such a clear attitude made Ning Fengzhi's heart sink, but he also roughly understood Lin Chuan's thoughts.

The other party is not a defender of imperial power, and he is not too obsessed with power. Obviously, he is completely different from most of the nobles now.

If there is a problem in the Tiandou Empire, maybe he will really do something.

"Okay, since things have become like this, then this mess will be left to you, Sect Master Ning, to solve. Senior Dugu and I will leave first."

Ning Fengzhi came back to his senses and quickly asked, "With the support of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect alone, Princess Xue Ke will have certain resistance to sitting on the throne, so please stay in Tiandou City for a few more days."

Lin Chuan paused slightly, and then stepped out again.

Until he walked out of the door, a long voice floated.

"Senior Dugu and I will stay in Tiandou City for a few days to prevent the Spirit Hall from returning. The rest will be handled by Sect Master Ning. Don't let us wait too long!"

Hearing the sound, Ning Fengzhi was relieved.

The biggest unstable factor was barely stabilized, and the next step was to deal with the Tiandou Empire.

"Uncle Gu, let's send Princess Xue Ke back first, and then go see Marshal Ge Long. If this matter is to succeed, we need his support."
