At this moment, Ning Fengzhi suddenly spoke with a firm tone:
"I think this should be the secret guard of the Tiandou Empire.
Back when the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was still on good terms with the Tiandou Empire, Emperor Xue Ye once mentioned while drunk that he had secretly trained a team of special secret guards who were powerful and could only be deployed by him. No one else had the right to use them.
These people are extremely secretive and have never been active in public, so it's no wonder we couldn't recognize them."
Ning Fengzhi paused and continued:
"It seems that the ones who surrounded and killed Tianxing and his men this time were probably this group of secret guards.
Emperor Xue Ye is probably doing this out of fear of the Barak Kingdom's recent growth, hoping to nip Tian Xing and his men in the bud before they're fully developed."
"Are you afraid of us? So you dare to use your secret guards to kill us?"
Liu Tianfeng was furious, his soul power bursting out instantly, the pressure of the Titled Douluo made the entire hall tremble slightly, and then he said:
"Since the Tiandou Empire likes to play dirty, don't blame me for being cruel! I'm going to let that old bastard Xue Ye know that our Barak Kingdom is not to be bullied!"
Dugu Boye's eyes flashed with cruelty, and his fingers trembled slightly, obviously he was really angry:
"You dared to attack my granddaughter and Tianxing? It seems that I have been too low-key these years. Many people have forgotten the power of my Jade Phosphorus Snake King Poison.
If we don't teach Xue Ye a lesson this time, he'll really think we, Barak, are easy to control!"
Sword Douluo Chenxin clenched the Seven Killing Sword in his hand, and the sword energy was so sharp that it almost broke out of the sheath:
"The Tiandou Empire has gone too far, injuring the Young Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. This vengeance must be avenged!"
Bone Douluo Gu Rong also echoed:
"That's right! The four of us will go to Tiandou City together. Even if it's the Tiandou Palace, we have to break in and make Xue Ye give us an explanation!"
Liu Tianfeng looked at Dugu Bo, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo, his eyes full of fighting spirit:
"Since everyone agrees, let's set off now and go to Tiandou City to find that old man Xue Ye!
I want him to pay the price for this action and let him know how serious the consequences are if he touches our people! Will you go?"
"go!"
Dugu Bo, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo answered in unison, their voices firm and without the slightest hesitation.
The four of them did not delay any longer. After nodding slightly to Xuezhe and Ning Fengzhi, they soared into the sky at the same time, transformed into four streams of light, and flew towards Tiandou City.
The Titled Douluo flew at full speed, extremely fast, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
Inside the imperial study of the Tiandou Palace, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was suffocating.
Emperor Xue Ye sat on the throne, holding a newly delivered secret letter in his hand. The letter paper had already been wrinkled by him, and his knuckles turned white from the force.
The letter clearly read:
The secret guards sent to surround and kill Xue Tianxing were completely wiped out, and their bodies were taken away by the enemy.
"Trash! A bunch of trash!"
Emperor Xue Ye threw the secret letter to the ground and roared in anger.
Xue Ye thought about the secret guards he had carefully trained for more than ten years. All of them were elites at the Soul Emperor and Soul Saint level, and there was also a Soul Douluo leading the team. However, they couldn't even deal with a few young soul masters, and ended up being annihilated!
After his anger, Emperor Xue Ye forced himself to calm down.
Xue Ye took a deep breath and his eyes became sinister.
However, he soon comforted himself:
"Fortunately, these secret guards were selected and trained in secret. No one knows their identities, nor does anyone know they belong to the Tiandou Empire. As long as the body is not recognized, even if they have suspicions, they have no evidence."
In Xue Ye's opinion, as long as the truth is covered up and the storm passes, and then some time and resources are spent, a new group of secret guards can be trained.
By then, it won't be too late to find an opportunity to deal with Xue Tianxing and the Barak Kingdom.
But soon, a thought made him feel cold all over - there were still many people involved in the training and deployment of secret guards.
The targets of this siege are not ordinary. They include not only Xue Tianxing, the future heir of the Barak Kingdom, but also Dugu Yan, the granddaughter of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, and Ning Rongrong, the young master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Once the news leaks out, the Tiandou Empire will face the hatred of four Titled Douluo at the same time, which will undoubtedly be a disaster for the already declining Tiandou Empire!
"No, we must get rid of everyone who knows about this!"
A fierce look flashed in Emperor Xue Ye's eyes, and he immediately shouted outside the door:
"Someone come!"
A guard in black walked in quickly and bowed:
"Your Majesty, what are your commands?"
"I hereby order that all those involved in the deployment and training of the secret guards, including those responsible for logistics and training, be secretly executed. No one shall be spared!"
Emperor Xue Ye's voice was cold and emotionless as he continued:
"Besides, I don't want anyone to know about this."
"Yes!" The guard was startled and did not dare to ask more questions. He bowed and retreated quickly to carry out the order.
After dealing with the insider, Emperor Xue Ye looked out the window with a complicated expression on his face.
Among these insiders, many are his old subordinates who have followed him for many years and have devoted their lives to the Tiandou Empire.
Perhaps to calm the slight sense of guilt in his heart, he instructed another guard:
"Pass the order down. Give generous rewards to the families of those executed, including one hundred acres of fertile land and one thousand ounces of gold, so that they can have enough food and clothing."
After the guards took orders and left, Emperor Xue Ye sat back on the throne and began to think about training the secret guards again.
Xue Ye called in the official he had newly selected to be in charge of recruiting soul masters and ordered them to increase resource investment, secretly select talented and loyal soul masters from all over the country, and form a new secret guard team as soon as possible.
"Barak Kingdom... Snowy Journey..."
Emperor Xue Ye muttered to himself, his eyes filled with resentment and cruelty, and said viciously:
"You're lucky this time, but next time, I'll make you pay!"
Xue Ye thought his plan was flawless, but he didn't know that "Xue Qinghe", the person he trusted the most and trained as his successor, had already been replaced by Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue not only knew that he had sent secret guards to surround and kill Xue Tianxing, but also sent a letter to Xue Tianxing, pushing the Tiandou Empire to the opposite side of the Barak Kingdom and the four Titled Douluo.
Emperor Xue Ye had no idea that at this moment, outside Tiandou City, four powerful auras were rapidly approaching - the four Titled Douluo, Liu Tianfeng, Dugu Bo, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, had come with anger to seek justice.
In the imperial study of the Tiandou Palace, Emperor Xue Ye was pacing back and forth anxiously with a frown on his face.
He was filled with worry about the future of the empire - the Barak Kingdom was growing stronger, the Spirit Hall was eyeing it covetously, the domestic spirit master strength was weak, and now the secret guards were completely wiped out, which made his situation even worse.
Xue Ye racked his brains to think of how to save the situation of internal and external troubles, but the more he thought about it, the more powerless he felt and could only sigh.
