Chapter 47 Conspiracy in the Palace
One of the top three sects, the world-dominated Blue Lightning Overlord Sect, was destroyed in this way. Not to mention the members of the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect; even the royal knights who followed Zhongli on the expedition and the soul masters loyal to the royal family all had an unreal feeling.
Once upon a time, the emperor of the Tiandou Empire had to have a friendship with the elders of the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect as equals. If they really meet, Emperor Xueye will probably lower his head in front of Yu Yuanzhen.
However, Zhongli had already arrived in front of Yu Yuanzhen's body. He stretched out his hand and several pieces of crystal were separated from Yu Yuanzhen's body and fell into Zhongli's hands. Seeing this scene, many soul masters in the Tiandou Empire felt a little warm in their hearts.
After Yu Yuanzhen died, five soul bones exploded from his body, which can be said to be a magnificent explosion. Should I be said to be worthy of being the leader of the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect?
Except for the left leg bone, all the soul bones on his body are already complete. Moreover, all of them are more than 10,000 years old, and the highest quality "Silver Armored Earth Dragon" torso bones even reach the level of 90,000 years old.
It is precisely because of this that, although he is also at level ninety-five, Yu Yuanzhen's combat power is definitely much better than Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo of Wuhun Palace, and also better than Gu Rong of Qibao Glazed Sect. Be slightly stronger.
However, such a powerful being was also killed by Zhongli. In the hearts of everyone, there was only shock and reverence.
The empire's expeditionary force next "inspected" the sect's treasure house of the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect. Although they were extremely mentally prepared, when they actually entered it, they were shocked.
Needless to say, there are all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, and antiques. In fact, these things are placed in the outer areas of the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect's treasure house.
Inside, there are various rare ancient soul tools; there are weapons made from the bones of soul beasts that are ten thousand or even one hundred thousand years old, and battle armor made of leather and animal scales. Judging from the casting process, it is likely that they were all born in the hands of "magic craftsmen". Although it is of little help to the truly powerful, it is absolutely invaluable to soul masters with lower cultivation levels.
"How many soul bones have the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect collected?"
Dugu Bo walked around in the treasure house, clicking his tongue and admiring the strange things. The soul bones that were exploded after Yu Yuanzhen's death were all at the ten thousand-year level; and in this treasure house, there are not a few soul bones at the thousand-year level, and they are probably used to reward the younger disciples who have outstanding performance.
For the vast majority of soul masters, there is nothing to be picky about if they can get a thousand-year soul bone. There are even some particularly unlucky soul emperors and soul saints who have reached this level without even a single soul bone in their bodies.
"The Blue Lightning Overlord Sect has accumulated so many resources. If you want to separate one side and tear the empire apart, it is just a matter of a thought. In the past, the empire faced Xingluo and suffered a series of defeats, and there were many people behind it. The shadows of these large sects.”
An old minister from the Tiandou Empire let out a long sigh, with a hint of sigh in his voice.
Once upon a time, the Tiandou Empire also had the opportunity to unify the continent, end the troubled times, and start a new era of peace. At that time, the Star Luo Empire had not yet unified the southern part of the continent, and the Tiandou Empire was the strongest. There was also a promising emperor on the throne, who had wiped out many principal kingdoms within the territory and besieged and killed several soul beast kings who were causing trouble. It’s a time to make progress and make achievements in one fell swoop.
Although the Star Luo Empire had begun to rise at that time, it relied on brutal and iron-blooded methods to expand and conquer. Everywhere it went was empty, the local population dropped sharply, and the people of the newly expanded areas were even more indifferent. . When Tiandou's army just went south, they won consecutive battles and were about to hit Xingluo City along the way.
At that time, Wuhun Palace was still called the "Church", and the conflict with the Tiandou Empire was not as big as it is now. It also tacitly supported the empire's unification of the continent.
As a result, the top masters of the three sects, including six titled Douluo, took action at the same time. That generation of Emperor Tiandou died suddenly in one night; the army that conquered the south suffered a disastrous defeat not long after, and fled back to the Tiandou Empire in embarrassment. It was through this great victory that the Star Luo Empire finally rose to prominence and established its bloody and cruel hegemony.
At this time, the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect was destroyed, and the wealth and heritage accumulated over thousands of years became the spoils of war for the Tiandou Empire. The soul masters of the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect were also escorted by the imperial army to Tiandou City, waiting for the next allocation arrangement.
"The Blue Lightning Overlord Sect is dead. Qinghe, what do you think?"
In the Imperial Palace of Tiandou City, in a study room full of nobility, the old emperor stood in front of a luxurious vase with his hands behind his back and asked.
Qian Renxue stood behind Emperor Xueye and could not see the expression on the old emperor's face. Qian Renxue thought for a moment, bowed respectfully, and said: "Father, this is an eternal feat, an unparalleled achievement! This Blue Lightning Overlord Sect, relying on its status as one of the top three sects, despises the royal family. , It’s not a matter of a year or two. They have even done many things that harmed the interests of the empire, either openly or covertly, but in the past we had no choice but to swallow our anger.”
Emperor Xue Ye nodded, but did not answer. "Father, are you worried that this contribution is too great to be rewarded? If Father is so worried, why not make the fifth emperor's brother the prince. If he is the fifth emperor's brother, as the emperor's brother, I am convinced."< br>
Xue Qinghe bowed again, lowered his head and said.
"No."
This time, Emperor Xueye's voice suddenly became extremely determined and heavy.
"On the contrary. After the Soul Master Competition is over, I will make you the crown prince. Not only will I make you the crown prince, I will also make you the general of the South Conquest, commanding the troops of the twenty-two provinces in the world. That is Marshal Ge Long. , and obey your temperance.”
Qian Renxue's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.
"Father, why is this?"
Originally, Qian Renxue should be very happy after hearing this. She has been lurking in the Tiandou Empire for so many years, isn't this her goal?
However, she didn't know why, but she felt like her throat was dry at the moment.
"Qinghe, do you really want to ask me this question?"
Emperor Xueye still didn't look back and said calmly.
"I will give you the first test first, which is to remove the military power of your Shadow Emperor sister. Then, contact your teacher more often. If necessary, it is also possible to transfer some of the empire's interests. What he originally wanted, The rights to operate the salt industry in the three coastal provinces, as well as the mining rights in the northern province and the livestock slave rights in New Alfran Province can be given to him.”
Emperor Xue Ye's voice had a somewhat colder flavor at this moment.
"My son understands."
At this moment, Qian Renxue had calmed down, and her heart suddenly became clear, and she understood many things. She nodded and replied in a calm voice.
"Also, over there at Wuhun Palace. Bishop Salas, if you want to contact them, then go ahead and contact them. If they have that intention, you don't have to report to me again. You can do whatever you want. Anyway, if I guessed correctly, you would already be familiar with it."
Emperor Xue Ye's words seemed to be mocking, but there was no hint of mockery at all. This was how he had experienced these things back then.
"Finally, remember these words from my father. As a king, the things that can be controlled are weapons; if the things that cannot be controlled, no matter how sharp they are, they are just swords hanging above their heads, which can cause endless harm. .”
After saying that, Xue Ye waved his hands, seeming a little tired.
Xue Qinghe bowed and then silently exited the study. However, some kind of decision seemed to have flashed through her eyes.
