Chapter 306 Royal Vassal

Tiandou Empire Palace.

"The prince was assassinated by Titan, the leader of the force clan?" Emperor Xueye almost jumped up when he heard the news.

Although he gave birth to many children in his life, all of them died young. Now in his later years, he only has three children left, two sons, one daughter.

Although the world of Douluo Continent is more similar to the Western medieval worldview of Lu Yuan's previous life, the two major empires of Douluo Continent do not consider female heirs when considering heirs to the throne.

Therefore, Princess Xueke is not qualified to inherit the throne of Emperor Xueye at all.

Among the two remaining children of Emperor Xueye, Xue Beng behaves more like a playboy, without any ability. In short, in one sentence, he "doesn't look like a king."

Judging from the current performance of Xue Beng, Emperor Xue Ye will not pass the throne to Xue Beng unless there is no one to succeed him.

"Xue Qinghe"'s performance in all aspects made Emperor Xue Ye impeccable, and she was his recognized successor.

But if "Xue Qinghe" is really killed by an assassin, Emperor Xue Ye will definitely be furious, and under Emperor Xue Ye's rage, there will definitely be a bloody storm within the empire.

And when he heard the news, Emperor Xueye immediately thought of whether this was planned by his younger brother, Prince Xue Xing, who had never supported Xue Qinghe but supported Xue Beng.

Over the years, the conflict between the Snow Star cronies and the princelings has almost been brought to the fore in the court.

If he waits until the day when "Xue Qinghe" really comes to power, he will probably severely purge the members of Prince Xue Xing's faction.

Although "Xue Qinghe" may not necessarily do that, Xuexing's group may plan to assassinate Xue Qinghe and allow Xue Beng to take over under the circumstances of "not fearing ten thousand, but fearing the worst".

After all...if this was done, Emperor Xue Ye would not be able to blame Xue Beng, because he was just a heir, and even if he disliked him, he could not pass the throne to another person.

When he thought of this, Emperor Xueye's face suddenly turned cold.

"This matter happened with the Qibao Glazed Sect, so it should be handled by the Qibao Glazed Sect with full authority." He snorted coldly and said, "It is decreed to Ning Fengzhi that he should be fully responsible for this matter. The assassin's accomplices and traitors must be dealt with." All the remnants of the Party and those behind the scenes were arrested and brought to justice..."

"Your Majesty!" Before Emperor Xueye could finish speaking, at this moment, the voice of the leader of the guards came from outside the palace.

"What's the matter? Come in!" Emperor Xueye frowned slightly, but still said calmly.

The leader of the imperial guard suddenly walked in slowly, came to the main hall, knelt down on one knee, "Outside the palace, the Force Clan... the current leader of the Force Clan, Tai Nuo, led a group of Force Clan members to kneel naked and shout, please Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"And they said... the Titans have been separated from the Force Clan for a long time. I hope that Your Majesty will forgive them for their crime of disrespect for the sake of the Force Clan's many years of service to the empire!"

"For this reason, they are willing to give up all their family's property and become vassals of the royal family!"

For a moment, Emperor Xue Ye was stunned, and then his eyes moved slightly.

This condition is indeed somewhat tempting. Even though Emperor Xueye is the emperor of the Tiandou Empire, he seems to have wealth and power that no one in the empire can match, but in fact, being in the empire does not mean that he belongs to the royal family.

Just think of the Qibao Glazed Sect. Although the Qibao Glazed Sect takes orders from Emperor Xue Ye, can Emperor Xue Ye directly use the wealth and personnel of the Qibao Glazed Sect?

cannot.

There is a huge difference between the empire and the royal family.

Moreover, the Tiandou Empire was originally different from the Star Luo Empire. The Star Luo Empire's royal family had many powerful people, and they could rule the entire Star Luo Empire by themselves.

The Tiandou Empire's royal family mostly relies on external forces loyal to them. Without those strong men who are loyal to them, the Tiandou Empire's royal family will not be able to rule the huge empire.

Therefore, in later generations, the Tiandou Empire eventually split into two empires, while the Star Luo Empire remained an empire as a whole. Although the royal family changed midway, the royal family that ruled the empire was always strong.

The Tiandou royal family was weak and had to rely on external forces to rule the empire. Emperor Xueye actually knew that this was a hidden danger, but he was unable to change this situation.

The resources of the Tiandou Empire have long been divided up by the major sects and nobles. Not only does the Tiandou royal family lack talented soul masters themselves.

Emperor Xueye's own talent for cultivation was mediocre. It would be hard for anyone to imagine that a person sitting on the throne of the Tiandou Empire only had a soul power of level 46.

And his descendants - Xue Beng and "Xue Qinghe" are also quite mediocre in cultivation. According to the description in the original text, his daughter Xue Ke is even very likely to be an ordinary person, with a cultivation level of at most a soul master to a great soul master.

Even the most powerful soul master in the royal family, Xue Ye's younger brother Prince Xue Xing, is only a soul emperor of around level 60. (I really couldn’t find the cultivation level of Prince Snow Star, so I made up a random one. It was probably the level of someone taller than a short person like the Tiandou royal family, but I almost didn’t see him taking action from behind. It’s probably like that in the later stages. As a basic combat unit, the Soul Saint is at a level that cannot be used.)

Moreover, Xuexing has stayed at this level of cultivation for many years, and it is impossible for him to continue to improve his level of cultivation.

It is a foregone conclusion that the Tiandou Imperial Family itself is weak, but if some outstanding soul masters can be introduced to marry and improve their bloodline from generation to generation, then maybe many more talented soul masters will be born in the Tiandou Imperial Family in future generations to support the Tiandou Empire. .

But generally speaking, the outstanding soul masters of the Tiandou Empire basically come from sect families. The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, Haotian Sect, and Blue Lightning Overlord Sect are unlikely to allow their bloodline martial souls to be leaked.

A passive illegitimate child would not do, let alone an active marriage to the royal family.

Emperor Xue Ye could only look at those outstanding soul masters who did not have aristocratic sects, but such outstanding soul masters with mutated martial souls would be absorbed by the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.

Therefore, in a sense, the Qibao Glazed Sect is indeed a vampire lying on the back of the Tiandou Empire to suck blood...

This is also the reason why Emperor Xue Ye wanted to snatch Lu Yuan from Ning Fengzhi before. Lu Yuan's talent was so strong that he didn't even need to look into the future.

When Lu Yuan grows up, he will be able to support the next emperor to compete with sects such as Qibao Glazed Sect and Blue Lightning Overlord Sect for people.

It is a pity that when Ning Fengzhi strikes first, if Emperor Xueye tries to steal someone else, he will directly break up with the Qibao Glazed Sect.

Under certain rules, Emperor Xueye could no longer forcefully marry Lu Yuan.

But now that he heard the request from the Force Clan to become a vassal of the royal family, his thoughts about a powerful royal family resurfaced again.
