Chapter 431 The dramatic changes in the fighting spirit
In the following time, the four Chen Junting people stayed in the Star Dou Forest. After all, the Lake of Life is a holy place for cultivation, and it also has the guidance of Di Tian.
Adding the two together, there is no need to rush back.
Because no matter what, strength is king.
Even half a month later, Chen Junting and Gu Tianchen went back to the sect, taking Huo Yuhao and the others with them.
For this reason, ferocious beasts such as the Ten Thousand Demon King, Xiong Lord, Red King, or other hundred thousand year soul beasts were not idle and were invited out one by one.
Grind, grind, grind!
After a lot of hard work, let’s not mention how much their cultivation has improved, but their respective combat abilities have continued to rise in a ladder-like manner.
Ji Juechen's sword fought against Xiong Jun's dark golden fear claws; Huo Yuhao's ice suppressed the Red King's fire; Ye Guyi's angelic light illuminated Zi Ji's dark abyss; Xiao Xiao's tripod, Constantly shaking under the attack of the hundred thousand year soul beast...
In this way, two months passed quietly.
But Chen Junting and others who live in the primeval forest of Star Dou Forest do not know what changes have occurred in the outside world in these two months.
The first to bear the brunt is the Dou Ling Empire.
……
Lingdou City.
As the capital of the Dou Ling Empire, everywhere you look here is a prosperous scene. But for some reason, this prosperity is about to be overturned, just like the calm before the storm.
"Your Highness the Prince, Your Highness the Prince!"
At Prince Xuefeng's residence, an urgent shout rolled in from afar like thunder, and the panic and anxiety it brought interrupted all of Prince Xuefeng's thoughts, forcing him to come back to his senses.
Prince Xuefeng, the younger brother of the current Emperor Dou Ling.
The second son of the old emperor of the previous Douling Empire, and the only second son born to the previous queen of the Douling Empire.
At this time, Xuefeng was concentrating on reading books, but was interrupted by this sudden and unannounced visitor. At that moment, he frowned slightly, showing displeasure.
"What are you so worried about!"
The aura of being on top for a long time brought the already panicked guard back to his senses instantly. What followed was the panic on his face.
If the previous panic might have been the news that the guards were about to tell, then the panic now belonged to Xuefeng alone.
The guard's silence made Xuefeng put down the book with satisfaction.
The breeze blowing outside the window kept blowing the pages, and finally the cover was put on, with the three characters "Governance Policy" printed on it.
At this time, Xuefeng said, "Tell me, you are so panicked, what could have happened to make this happen? Could it be that the sky is falling?"
He stood up slowly and tidied his desk.
However, the guards did not see that there was a hint of hope in Xuefeng's eyes with his head lowered, as if he was expecting something.
When the unsuspecting guard heard what Prince Xuefeng said, he suddenly showed an expression that was uglier than crying. "Your Highness, the sky has really fallen! News came from the palace that His Majesty has passed away!"
"What!?"
Xuefeng suddenly raised his head, his face full of disbelief.
At this moment, he seemed to have heard the most ridiculous story.
"You dare to bully me, and you dare to curse His Majesty! Someone is here!"
"Plop——"
As soon as Xuefeng shouted, the guard suddenly knelt down.
He kowtowed desperately to show that what he said was true and that he dared to vouch for his words, which made Xuefeng stop calling people.
"Say it, I'll give you a chance."
The guard took a deep breath and tried to calm down: "Your Highness, you know that our people have spies in the palace. This news came from the brothers there. It is absolutely true." "You also know that these days, For some reason, His Majesty's health has become worse and worse, and there were rumors about it."
"Now that the palace is under martial law, the Forbidden Army is patrolling everywhere, and the atmosphere is tense! If His Majesty left suddenly, it is undoubtedly justified. But now the Queen has temporarily controlled the situation, but for some reason, the strict order cannot be kept secret. "Mourning."
The guard said, looking at Xuefeng without any trace.
As Xuefeng's confidant, he naturally knew that His Highness the Prince wanted the throne, but there was never the right time.
Otherwise, he would not have watched The State Policy.
After all, in order to prevent the situation in the Tianhun Empire from happening again, the first emperor of the Douling Empire issued many ancestral precepts. And one of them is for many princes.
All princes should guard the border.
Although this is to prevent nobles with foreign surnames from usurping power and seizing the throne from happening again, looking at it from another perspective, the emperor's means of governing the country are no longer available to the princes.
As for why Xuefeng, as a prince who should be guarding the border, is still in Lingdou City...it can only be said that this is a gift from the current Emperor Dou Ling, allowing him to control an army in Lingdou City and guard the capital.
It's a pity that Emperor Dou Ling looked away.
His death also represents Xuefeng's opportunity.

"Sister-in-law Gu is on guard against Gu."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Xuefeng's mouth.
He had already anticipated this situation.
And it turns out that his sister-in-law was right about him.
I think back then, he and his brother had the same mother, and were even twins. One is a cloud and the other is a peak. But being born a few seconds late changed their brother's fate.
Xueyun is the elder brother and the eldest son. He has received the support of his father and ministers along the way, and has become the emperor from the prince.
And what about him?
Like his brother's shadow, he always lives behind him.
But whether it is his talent, his hard work, or even his ambition, he is above his cowardly brother! He received education, read all the books, and understood only one truth!
Fight to be the emperor!
It's a pity that his father has been suppressing him and not letting him handle any military affairs. Even if his brother only allowed him to lead the Lingdou City defenders, this was also suppression.
All along, he has been like a hunter hiding in the dark, patiently waiting for the opportunity, waiting for his strength to be strong enough to become the next emperor of the Dou Ling Empire and lead the Dou Ling Empire to greatness again. It's a pity...he didn't have a chance before.
But it’s different now!
My brother the emperor died suddenly!
I am in my prime, and those nephews are nothing. Only my sister-in-law has some means, but so what?
As for those old guys in the worship hall...
Xuefeng stood up slowly, his eyes becoming deep. No matter what, nothing can stop his ambition to compete for the throne of Dou Ling.
"Your Highness, what about us?"
There was a flash of fire in the guard's eyes.
If His Highness the Prince can really win the great treasure, then these close friends and heroes will undoubtedly have the merit of following the dragon.
"Don't be anxious yet."
A trace of determination flashed in Xuefeng's eyes, "Go and call Mr. Wu and General Ge and tell them that I have something important to discuss with them."
"Yes."
The guard saluted respectfully, then turned around and retreated quickly.
At present, Xuefeng was the only one left in the house.
