"Do the three of you still believe that this body belongs to my good nephew?" Xueye glanced at the three Soul Douluos.
The three of them looked on incredulously.
Titled Douluo are already considered pillars of a nation, and even the crown prince wouldn't recruit them casually, let alone two titled Douluo whose names I've never heard of before!
Xueye looked at the three Soul Douluos with conflicted expressions and felt satisfied.
Seizing the opportunity, he bowed deeply and said earnestly, "Three Education Commissioners, now is the time to act! Please help me capture the traitor, restore order to the court, and restore peace and order to the empire!"
Meng Shenji still had some doubts, "The matter is not yet settled..."
Everything is possible.
Moreover, Xue Qinghe has done many good things for the people and the country over the years, so it's not impossible that a reclusive titled Douluo would join him.
Compared to the popular Crown Prince, Xueye, this inconspicuous prince, has much lower credibility.
Xue Ye was furious, but still patiently said, "Regardless, Xue Qinghe is highly suspicious. I request the three of you to assist me in apprehending him!"
The three exchanged a glance and then nodded slightly.
Meng Shenji said in a deep voice, "We can advise the Crown Prince to confront you, but we must participate in the entire process and will not allow you to do anything despicable again!"
……
Below the city walls, Qian Renxue stayed away from the battlefield, observing the situation from a corner.
There's still a chance.
She thought to herself.
The two titled Douluo, Serpent Spear and Blood Thorn, rarely appeared in the public eye, and no one in Heaven Dou City knew them.
Therefore, their identities are open to manipulation; they could be reclusive powerhouses or lucky individuals who have stumbled upon extraordinary encounters.
As long as Qian Renxue doesn't reveal her martial soul, no one can confirm her identity, and "Xue Qinghe" will still be the Crown Prince of Tiandou.
—The city-breaking crossbow isn't easy to prepare; after each shot, there's at least a one-meter gap before the next can be fired. The two elders won't be able to take down Han Yu and the Golden Spear anytime soon, so I must leave the barbican as quickly as possible, otherwise, when the next volley of arrows comes, my identity will surely be exposed!
Qian Renxue caught a glimpse of Xue Ye out of the corner of her eye, and her eyes flashed with a fierce light.
—I hesitated to kill you outright before because of the potential repercussions, but it turns out you've become a menace! Just you wait…
Just as Qian Renxue was planning her route, Meng Shenji and the other two landed in front of her, bowed, and said in unison, "Your Highness!"
Hearing the way the three people addressed her, Qian Renxue felt much more at ease.
The mere mention of "Crown Prince" reveals that the three individuals are not of one mind with Xueye.
"Greetings, three seniors!" Qian Renxue returned the greeting, feigning shock.
Meng Shenji's heart leaned even more towards Xue Qinghe.
He said angrily, "That scoundrel Xueye has gone too far! His Highness the Crown Prince has been frightened! We will definitely seek justice for His Highness!"
Qian Renxue was secretly delighted, but on the surface she only nodded almost imperceptibly, showing hesitation and difficulty.
"Thank you for your help, senior!"
The three education commissioners were even more satisfied with Xue Qinghe.
Even though his life was just threatened, he still had a kind heart and hesitated to kill his uncle. Where can you find such a good emperor?
"This is our duty," Meng Shenji said.
On the city wall, Xue Ye watched as Meng Shenji and the other two chatted happily with Xue Qinghe, and her brows gradually furrowed.
He stroked the ring, hardened his heart, and made a gesture.
—I don't care who you are, you must die today!
Xueye and Xue Qinghe are enemies.
Xue Ye is the backer of 70% of the dark industries in Tiandou City. Starting five years ago, Xue Qinghe began targeting all dark industries within the empire, with Tiandou City being a key target.
Over 90% of the dark industries have been eradicated. It is foreseeable that if Xue Qinghe ascends the throne, this vast Heavenly Dou Empire will have no dark soil for Xue Ye to survive!
—If you're unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!
In a corner where no one could see, the assassin used the Heavenly Treasure to completely conceal his figure and presence.
He is one of the top assassins on the dark side of Tian Dou. He is also Xue Ye's most important confidant, a Soul Emperor of the Extreme Agility-Attack type.
At this moment, he was holding another royal treasure longsword, aiming intently at Qian Renxue's heart with a blank expression.
The moment the blood-red gem gleamed, the assassin moved forward, arriving ten meters behind Qian Renxue in just a few breaths. His longsword glowed red, and a terrifying killing intent was brewing within its sheath.
Draw the sword, thrust! Spin!
By the time the people below the city wall reacted, the longsword had already pierced Qian Renxue's heart, and golden blood gushed out recklessly.
The sword had a special effect; Qian Renxue's life force was like a dam bursting, flowing away uncontrollably.
In just a few seconds, darkness enveloped Qian Renxue's vision.
In the face of life and death, Qian Renxue didn't care about being exposed. She activated her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, unleashed the power of her three Angel Armor Sets, and used her divine power to dissipate the remaining killing intent of the longsword while attempting to repair her damaged heart.
Surrounded by golden light, divine power permeates the mind.
Anyone could see that something was wrong with Qian Renxue; "Xue Qinghe" could never possess such an ability!
Xueye is right; the "Xueqing River" in front of us is not the real Xueqing River.
Xueye, standing on the city wall, revealed a hearty smile.
"die!"
Meng Shenji made his move, targeting the assassin.
"Xue Qinghe" is not Xue Qinghe, but he shouldn't be a thief either; there may be other hidden reasons.
Meng Shenji consoled himself in this way.
"Young Master!"
The two titled Douluo, Serpent Spear and Blood Thorn, finally noticed Qian Renxue's condition. Overwhelmed by their own power, they began to unleash their strength without regard for anything else.
Martial Soul True Form, Ninth Soul Skill, Injury for Injury!
In just a few moves, he forced his opponent into a retreat.
Han Yu and Jin Qiang, the two pillars of the Great Soul Arena, knew that their goal had been achieved, so they had no intention of staying any longer to cause trouble.
Just as the two were considering how to evacuate, something else happened on Qian Renxue's side.
"What are you three waiting for! Quickly kill this imposter posing as the prince!"
Xueye couldn't wait to kill Xue Qinghe, who had ruined his plans.
He stood on the city wall, shouting at Meng Shenji and the other two like a stupid wolf that had caught the scent of its prey.
Meng Shenji and the other two surrounded Qian Renxue, who was healing. Listening to Xue Ye's words, they showed no intention of attacking, but rather seemed to be protecting Qian Renxue from being disturbed.
No matter what, we must first understand the situation, instead of indiscriminately killing people!
Qian Renxue was focused on survival at this moment, but it was too late.
Leaving aside whether the Angelic Martial Soul has the ability to repair a shattered heart, the residual killing intent in the heart is not so easy to deal with.
The longsword used by the assassin who was killed was a royal heirloom, said to be a replica of a divine artifact.
Its concentrated killing intent is extremely restraining to life; even angels would have to expend considerable effort to deal with it.
To repair the heart, one must deal with the killing intent; dealing with the killing intent means one cannot focus on repairing the heart.
A certain death trap!
—Let's take a gamble!
While she was still conscious and her body could withstand the haze of blood loss for two or three minutes, Qian Renxue quickly decided to abandon repairing her heart, simply used her soul power to regulate her blood circulation, and then focused on dealing with the remaining killing intent.
However, it was too late.
The rate at which her life force was being drained far exceeded Qian Renxue's expectations. As she dealt with the remaining killing intent, her inevitable physical weakness also slowed her down.
She had no chance of dealing with the killing intent of that longsword before death struck!
Death is almost inevitable.
—Did it fail...?
The loss of vitality affected her thinking; Qian Renxue seemed to have thought of something, yet also seemed to have thought of nothing at all.
As she lost consciousness, she vaguely saw a glimmer of green-gold light.
……
Shrek Academy, Chi Shu synchronized the information to the clone mycelium.
"Dad, Aunt Xue is in trouble!"
Inside the Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu felt a sense of foreboding. Bibi Dong instinctively clutched her heart, tears streaming down her face.
……
On Qian Renxue's right arm, the green-gold inscription radiated the light of life.
That was a life-saving measure that Chi Ping had Chi Shu leave for Qian Renxue: the mycelium of a life mushroom tree.
This method will not be used unless the patient is truly in mortal danger.
Now, the life hyphae detached from the arm and connected with the pool-level hyphae underground. With the infinite supply of soul power, it split into two, then four... and grew exponentially.
To onlookers, all they saw was a beam of green-gold light falling to the ground, followed by countless green-gold threads that instantly grew from the ground, enveloping Qian Renxue in a cocoon-like manner.
The silk threads gently but irresistibly pushed away all people and things that wanted to get close, and then the cocoon swelled, expanding from the size of a person to the size of a room.
Soul power and elements flowed through the mycelium of life, transforming into life energy that was delivered to Qian Renxue to repair her body and replenish her lost life force.
What is this?
Everyone was filled with confusion.
Han Yu and Jin Qiang grabbed the snake spear and, in the moment of stunned silence, fled the battlefield in a panic.
Instead of giving chase, the two Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall quickly arrived in front of the Cocoon of Life, intending to tear open the fungal ribbon and take Qian Renxue away.
Now that Qian Renxue's identity has been exposed, staying in Tiandou City any longer would be like a rabbit in a wolf's den for the three of them.
however……
"How could that be!"
Serpent Spear Douluo She Long was shocked. Just now, he had tried to cut through the life hyphae with his serpent spear.
But those seemingly delicate and fragile mycelium actually blocked the sharp spear without deforming or even leaving a scratch! On the contrary, She Long himself was shaken so badly by the recoil that his hands and feet ached.
"Who are you, and what do you want to do to Aunt Xue!"
A pretty girl emerged from her cocoon and questioned him sharply.
