The moon was dark and the wind was high, with dark clouds obscuring the moonlight, making the entire sky extremely dim. Yet, the Prince's mansion was brightly lit, but eerily silent.
Jiang Mo and Qian Jun, dressed in black, each wielding a short sword, silently slipped inside. It was difficult to detect a Titled Douluo carrying out an assassination; only another Titled Douluo could sense it. However, at this moment, there wasn't a single Titled Douluo in the Prince's mansion, only a few Soul Douluo-level Guest Elders.
Dugu Bo had long since accepted Ning Fengzhi's invitation and was currently teaching Dugu Yan in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. He had also heard about Ning Fengzhi's plan, but due to Prince Xue Xing's past kindness, he chose to remain neutral. During this time, he was either teaching Dugu Yan at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School or researching poisonous plants in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, so he was unaware of what was happening in Heaven Dou City.
Even Ning Fengzhi couldn't have anticipated that Xu Yang had learned about Qian Renxue through the original work, so he had a slight psychological preparation.
Faced with the assassination of a Titled Douluo, the people in the Prince's mansion didn't react at all. Often, one moment they would see a black shadow, and the next moment their necks would be slit, and their bodies would be dragged to a dark corner to be hidden.
"Xue Beng, although I don't know who spread the news that Xue Qinghe is Qian Renxue of the Spirit Hall, I estimate that this is probably true. Otherwise, your second and third brothers wouldn't have died so strangely and without the killer being found. In today's world, only a Titled Douluo could do that.
The Upper Three Sects, with their Titled Douluo, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, have always supported our Heaven Dou Empire. The Haotian School remains hidden from the world, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan is proud and arrogant. It is impossible for them to attack the princes of the empire, so it can only be the Spirit Hall.
I had long suspected that Xue Qinghe had connections with the Spirit Hall, but I never thought that Xue Qinghe had already been replaced by someone from the Spirit Hall!
Qian Renxue, a member of the Qian Family, with the Six-Winged Angel Spirit, plus the disguise of a Spirit Bone, can indeed achieve perfection..."
Xue Xing said to Xue Beng with an extremely ugly expression. In front of him was a thick book, and just from the texture of the cover, one could tell that this book was quite old. In the original work, even Grandmaster could find a little information about the six Spirit Bones of the Angel Divine Gear, and as an empire with thousands of years of inheritance, they also had many books that were not made public, which recorded many secret things.
Among them was the six Spirit Bones of the Angel Divine Gear, with a little description of Yun Huan, but this little description was enough.
"Then, Uncle, what should we do next?!" Xue Beng asked anxiously. Since Qian Renxue ascended the throne, he had been living with Xue Xing in the Prince's mansion for fear of being assassinated, but now he had no soldiers and no power, and he was facing the Spirit Hall, which made him a little scared.
That was a Titled Douluo! Not some random cat or dog that he could manipulate!
"The most important thing for us now is to win over the Upper Three Sects, first of all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Marshal Ge Long. Since Ning Fengzhi talked with Qian Renxue last time, he has not left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and even did not appear when Qian Renxue ascended the throne. So I suspect that Ning Fengzhi has also guessed Qian Renxue's identity, and we have a high probability of being able to win him over to our camp.
At that time, we will have the capital to contend with the Spirit Hall and prove Qian Renxue's identity. Once his identity is confirmed, we can take the opportunity to pull him down from the throne and let you inherit the Heaven Dou Empire."
Xue Xing calmly stated his plan, which made Xue Beng a little excited, because this plan was highly feasible. As long as it succeeded, he could sit on the emperor's throne, and then the entire Heaven Dou Empire would be his.
"Unfortunately, you don't have this opportunity!"
Just as Xue Beng was excited and imagining the future, a thick voice suddenly came from the room.
Xue Beng and Xue Xing's faces became extremely ugly, especially Xue Beng, whose eyes were full of despair at this moment. Neither of them shouted, but looked towards the source of the sound, and saw a handsome middle-aged man in black leaning against the door frame.
"Qian Jun Offering of the Spirit Hall!" Xue Xing gritted his teeth.
Since the incident in Spirit City last time, the Spirit Hall's six Super Douluo Offerings were no longer a secret. Their appearance, Spirit, cultivation, and Soul Ring configuration were all placed on the desks of the heads of major forces.
So Xue Xing recognized the person at a glance.
Being recognized, Qian Jun was not surprised. He looked at Xue Xing and Xue Beng with the eyes of a dead man, his figure slowly stood up, and the short sword in his hand flickered with cold light.
"You can't kill me, I also..."
Seeing Qian Jun wanting to attack, Xue Xing begged for mercy with a look of horror, but before he could finish his words, Qian Jun's figure was behind him, and then blood spurted out from Xue Xing and Xue Beng's necks.
The two of them looked painful and fell straight backward.
Qian Jun used his sword very accurately, not only cutting off Xue Xing and Xue Beng's throats, but also cutting off their cervical vertebrae. Even if the two were Titled Douluo, it was impossible for them not to die.
After doing all this, Qian Jun didn't look back and disappeared into the room in a flash.
In just one night, Prince Xue Xing, Marshal Ge Long, Fourth Prince Xue Beng, Princess Xue Ke, and all the dukes who openly opposed Qian Renxue were all massacred.
It was not until noon the next day that the deaths of these people were discovered, which shows how ruthless Qian Renxue was, not even letting go of the servants.
For a time, all the remaining nobles and officials of the entire empire were on tenterhooks, not daring to disobey Qian Renxue.
At the same time, they also understood that this matter was a tacit acknowledgment of Qian Renxue's identity: a member of the Qian Family of the Spirit Hall, the inheritor of this generation's Six-Winged Angel Spirit.
The news quickly spread to the ears of the major forces in the world.
Ning Fengzhi and Xu Yang were also the first to receive the news. Xu Yang was fine, having been prepared for it, but Ning Fengzhi found it a little hard to accept.
He really didn't expect Qian Renxue to be so ruthless. At least several thousand people died that night, and all members of the original Heaven Dou imperial family and those related to them were slaughtered, which also caused his subsequent plans to come to naught.
The conference room was eerily quiet. Dugu Bo sat in the corner with an extremely unsightly expression. Xue Xing had saved his life after all, and there was still some friendship between the two.
But what really made him feel uncomfortable was the death of the Heaven Dou imperial family line, and the Heaven Dou Empire was completely dead in name only.
No matter in which era, the ideological education of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism occupied a certain proportion in the education system, and Dugu Bo was no exception.
The same was true for Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin and others. Although they had no feelings for the Heaven Dou imperial family, they still had some feelings for the Heaven Dou Empire.
This was also the reason why the conference room was so eerily quiet at the moment. No one had expected the Heaven Dou Empire to end like this.
