Chapter 248 The Unending Joy of Qian Renxue, the Sorrowful Avalanche
Five days later, Huo Yuhao, along with Qiu'er, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing, quietly left the bustling Tiandou City.
They embarked on a new journey, which caused quite a stir in Tiandou City.
It's fair to say that some people are happy while others are sad.
How many people are truly happy amidst the snow-covered peaks?
Needless to say, this time Huo Yuhao not only made Qian Renxue feel endless joy, allowing her to experience the joy of going from a girl to a young woman, but also came up with an excellent way to deal with the two great empires.
The Serpent Spear Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo were equally delighted, after all, Huo Yuhao and Qian Renxue had not only finally achieved their happy ending, but the birth of the next Holy Son of the Spirit Hall was just around the corner.
Moreover, Huo Yuhao's newly proposed method for dealing with the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire is simply astonishing.
By placing the two most incompetent princes of the two great empires on the throne, and then allowing the seemingly indestructible empires to be corrupted from within, this method is, undeniably, astounding.
It can only be said that if Huo Yuhao's plan succeeds, the balance between the two great empires will be broken, and the power of the Spirit Hall will expand like never before. Huo Yuhao's wisdom and strategy have already given them a glimpse of the Spirit Empire's future dominance over the world.
Huo Yuhao is the future founding emperor of the empire. Truly, all land under heaven belongs to the king, and all people within the realm are his subjects!
In Huo Yuhao's hands, the Spirit Hall can definitely shine the glory of the Spirit Empire on every inch of land.
As for those who are worried, it is the uncle and nephew Xue Beng and Xue Xing.
As a prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Beng knew that although Huo Yuhao's plan was tempting, the risks and costs involved were equally enormous.
Although Huo Yuhao promised to help Xue Beng seize the throne, the conditions he proposed weighed heavily on Xue Beng's mind.
Huo Yuhao's first condition was that Xue Beng hand over all the military deployment maps and defense maps of the entire Heaven Dou Empire to him.
This is not merely a map; it is a military secret of the entire Heaven Dou Empire, the cornerstone of the empire's security. Xue Beng knew all too well that if this information fell into the wrong hands, the Heaven Dou Empire would face enormous security risks.
He instinctively wanted to refuse, but he also knew how important Huo Yuhao's help was to him.
Avalanche struggled internally, realizing that he had to make some sacrifices if he wanted to achieve his ambitions.
However, these sacrifices could mean the safety of the empire, and even jeopardize his own position. Caught between these weighings, Avalanche felt immense anxiety and pressure.
Xue Xing, as a prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, was also deeply worried about Huo Yuhao's conditions.
He knew that if these military secrets were leaked, it would not only threaten the security of the empire, but could also bring annihilation to the entire Xue family.
However, Huo Yuhao directly told them, "If you don't want to do it, there are plenty of others who will." This simple yet powerful statement was like a heavy hammer blow, shattering all of Xue Beng's pride and self-esteem.
Huo Yuhao's tone revealed an undeniable firmness, as if to say that his existence was not irreplaceable.
Then, Huo Yuhao added: "I reckon Crown Prince Xue Qinghe would be more than willing to cooperate with me against you. Xue Beng, you don't want me and Xue Qinghe to join forces, do you? Would you even have a chance to survive then?"
Huo Yuhao's words revealed not only the threat of avalanche, but also a profound understanding of power and human nature. He was well aware of avalanche's weaknesses and knew exactly how to exploit them to achieve his goals.
Huo Yuhao's words were like a sharp blade, piercing directly into the heart of Avalanche, making him feel an unprecedented fear and powerlessness.
Moreover, while saying these words, Huo Yuhao also continuously used the mental interference skill of the Spirit Eye to give Xue Beng psychological suggestions, allowing the seed called obedience to take root and sprout in Xue Beng's heart.
The mental interference, coupled with the threats and attacks in his words, broke through Xue Beng's defenses with just this one sentence. The expression on his face quickly changed from initial hesitation to shock and panic.
Xue Beng realized that if Huo Yuhao and Xue Qinghe really joined forces, his status and power would be threatened like never before.
He began to realize that he had to make changes and show enough sincerity and willingness to cooperate with Huo Yuhao, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
After all, Huo Yuhao was absolutely right. After all, Xue Qinghe alone had exhausted Xue Beng to the point of almost dying on the spot.
If his original ally Huo Yuhao were to also side with Xue Qinghe, then he would have no way to survive on the Zhenge Continent.
Therefore, Xue Beng immediately expressed his full support for Huo Yuhao's every condition.
Xue Beng's tone was filled with urgency and anxiety. He began to make various promises in the hope of reassuring Huo Yuhao and making him believe that he genuinely wanted to cooperate.
Avalanche knew that only in this way could he maintain a glimmer of hope in the game of power.
Thus, Huo Yuhao unsurprisingly obtained a defense map of half of the entire Heaven Dou Empire.
Xue Beng and Xue Xing stated that once Xue Beng fully ascends to the throne, he will hand over the entire defense map of the Heaven Dou Empire to Huo Yuhao.
Looking at the half of the defense map in his hand, Huo Yuhao was already quite satisfied. He knew that half of the entire empire's defense map was the bottom line for Xuebeng and Xuexing. If they were to actually bring out all the defense maps, it would be like handing their lives over to Huo Yuhao.
However, even just this half of the defense map is enough to give the Spirit Empire a complete advantage in future wars.
It can only be said that the two of them have become completely insane in their efforts to get Xue Beng onto the throne.
They spared no expense, even willing to stake the safety of the entire empire on Huo Yuhao. This extreme approach, though fraught with risk, also revealed their thirst for power and their ambition for the future.
They were willing to risk everything to ensure that Avalanche could successfully ascend the throne and become the true ruler of the Heaven Dou Empire.
It has to be said that power is something that drives everyone crazy.
The eight characters "By the mandate of Heaven, may your life be long and prosperous" have attracted countless people to follow one after another, like moths to a flame, even at the cost of their lives.
The second matter is that Huo Yuhao is preparing to assassinate the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire, Davis. Huo Yuhao ordered Xue Beng to follow his orders and borrow Soul Douluo from the Heaven Dou royal family to assist in his operation.
Huo Yuhao's plan was very meticulous. He not only considered every detail of the operation, but also predicted all possible scenarios.
He demanded that Avalanche play a key role in the operation, using the power of the Heavenly Dou royal family to cover his actions and ensure a smooth approach to Davis.
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's request, Xue Beng was terrified, as if it were a death sentence.
He couldn't imagine the severe consequences that would befall the Heavenly Dou Empire if the plan failed.
Assassinating the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire would likely incur the full force of the entire empire's retaliation. Xue Beng knew that if the matter were exposed, not only would he be doomed, but the entire Heaven Dou Empire could also be plunged into the abyss of war.
This time, not only did the avalanche occur, but even Xue Xing was completely baffled by Huo Yuhao's audacious idea.
They looked at each other, their hearts filled with doubt and fear. No, Huo Yuhao's plan is quite unconventional; no, you're being very presumptuous.
They couldn't understand why Huo Yuhao would take such a huge risk to assassinate a member of the royal family who held such an important position in the Star Luo Empire.
In their eyes, Huo Yuhao was simply insane, after all, the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire were completely different.
The Star Luo Empire is different from the Heaven Dou Empire. The Star Luo Empire is a completely centralized country, with all power in the hands of the emperor.
Moreover, Huo Yuhao genuinely believed that Davis was Avalanche. Although Avalanche was also a member of the royal family, their status was worlds apart from Davis's.
Not only was it an avalanche, but Davis's status was even higher than Xue Qinghe's.
Davis was truly the crown prince of the entire Star Luo Empire, showered with love and affection. The White Tiger Emperor of the Star Luo Empire placed great hopes on Davis, and it was certain that Davis would become the next emperor.
Moreover, Davis not only holds a pivotal position in politics, but is also a rising star in the Star Luo Empire's military, and his existence is crucial to the stability and development of the Star Luo Empire.
It could be said that although Davis has not yet ascended the throne, he is already considered half an emperor of the Star Luo Empire.
If Davis dies, that would be a really big deal; the White Tiger Emperor would probably go completely insane.
Davis's death will bring enormous political turmoil to the Star Luo Empire, and may even lead to the outbreak of civil war. The White Tiger Emperor's expectations and affection for Davis are well-known; his passing will undoubtedly ignite widespread anger and retaliation within the Star Luo Empire.
If the assassination attempt on Davis by Avalanche is exposed, the Star Luo Empire will not stand idly by. They will take all means to retaliate against the Heaven Dou Empire, and may even launch a full-scale war to the death.
The dignity and prestige of the Star Luo Empire are inviolable, and they will never tolerate such an assassination attempt on a member of the royal family. Avalanche and Snowstar know that if such a conflict were to erupt, both empires would suffer devastating consequences.
However, Huo Yuhao directly stated that this was his final condition: as soon as Davis died, he would immediately kill Xue Qinghe and Emperor Xue Ye, and then Xue Beng would become the emperor of the entire Heaven Dou Empire.
As Huo Yuhao spoke, a chilling light gleamed in his eyes.
Moreover, Huo Yuhao stated that he wasn't afraid at all. After all, it wasn't just Xue Beng who was trying to assassinate Davis; he himself was also involved.
Faced with the two behemoths, the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire, even the White Tiger Emperor dared not act rashly.
Moreover, it wasn't just their Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire. Huo Yuhao also told Xue Beng and Xue Xing that his purpose in going to Shrek Academy was to drag Dai Mubai, the second prince of the Star Luo Empire, into the scheme, so that the three of them could assassinate Davis together and then pin the mastermind on Dai Mubai.
In this way, what was originally an assassination attempt directly transformed into an internal power struggle within the Star Luo royal family. Huo Yuhao's words revealed a cunning and strategic mind; he seemed to have foreseen the plan's success and the ensuing chaos within the Star Luo royal family. Therefore, the fire wouldn't reach the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall...
While Xue Beng and Xue Xing continued discussing their next moves in the Heaven Dou Empire, Huo Yuhao had already arrived at Shrek Academy...
