"Has Qinghe led the army to Tiandou City?"
On the day Xue Qinghe returned to the court, even though Emperor Xue Ye was extremely wary of and disliked the prince, he still acted like a kind and expectant father.
"Your Majesty, the army has arrived outside the city. Your Highness... Your Highness..."
"What's wrong with him?"
Xue Ye became a little panicked.
Is this rebellious son going to lead the army to attack the city directly? Is he so impatient to take the throne from me?
"His Highness said he would go to the Soul Palace and would pay his respects to His Majesty upon his return."
Hearing that Qian Renxue had gone to the Soul Palace, Xue Ye's nervous mood calmed down a lot, but he was still dissatisfied with the prince.
He knew that the Soul Palace must have put in a lot of effort to be able to capture the Xingluo Empire so smoothly. Even the fact that the Spirit Hall did not intervene was most likely related to the Soul Palace.
But from the fact that the prince did not pay a visit to him, the emperor and father, first, but went to see a sect, it can be seen which is more important to the prince, him or the Soul Palace.
Not to mention that Xue Ye was not a very generous emperor. Even if he was very tolerant, it would be impossible for him not to feel some dissatisfaction in the face of this situation.
"That's fine. The Soul Palace is the pillar of the Tiandou Empire. It's only right that Qinghe goes to the Soul Palace first to pay his respects to Palace Master Xiao."
No matter what he thought in his heart, at least Emperor Xue Ye did not show it on the surface, and seemed to support Xue Qinghe very much.
Now, let alone the Soul Palace, Xue Qinghe himself already possesses enough power to threaten his throne. Xue Ye must maintain the appearance of fatherly kindness at all costs in order to hope that Xue Qinghe will be a filial son.
…
Davis was very confused on the way to the Soul Palace, and the Xingluo Emperor, who could not speak or move, had no idea where he was going.
However, the self-pitying Dai Mubai was very familiar with this place.
The turning point of his fate began when he came here.
"Why, do you know where Xue Qinghe is taking us?"
Although Davis was also depressed, he was still able to move. He noticed that Dai Mubai's expression was not right, so he asked.
"Here... this is the path to the Soul Palace."
Dai Mubai's voice was still trembling, and he looked very scared.
The psychological trauma he suffered when he first came to the Soul Palace was too great.
Did he hate the Soul Palace? Of course he did. The crippling of his right arm not only cast a heavy shadow on his path as a Soul Master, but also completely destroyed his already slim hope of defeating Davis.
But no matter how much resentment he felt in his heart, he did not dare or even want to seek revenge.
The power of the Soul Palace is too strong. Not to mention that he is already half a disabled person, even if he is the Xingluo Emperor, what use can he be in facing such a powerful Soul Palace?
"Soul Palace?"
Davis was shocked when he heard this, and then looked at Dai Mubai angrily.
"Look at what you've done. Not only have you harmed yourself, but you've also implicated our entire family and the entire Xingluo Empire."
"Me? What have I done? We're both prisoners now. Don't pin all these unnecessary charges on me."
Whether he was escaping from Xingluo City or being brought back to Xingluo City, Dai Mubai was filled with fear for his biological brother.
But now they are both captives, and another more powerful fear has replaced the previous fear, so Dai Mubai is no longer afraid of Davis.
After all, we are all captives in a cage. Who is stronger? Who is more noble?
"You still say it wasn't you? If you hadn't offended the Soul Palace, how could your arm be broken? I was wondering why a Titled Douluo would go all out to help Xue Qinghe deal with the Xingluo Empire. It turns out these people were sent by the Soul Palace. Doesn't this have anything to do with you?"
In Davis's view, Dai Mubai is the culprit of everything and a sinner who has brought disaster to his family and empire.
"I..."
Dai Mubai didn't know how to refute for a moment.
Could it really be related to me? Could the Soul Palace be so narrow-minded? I've already been punished, so why would they kill me?
"No, if the Soul Palace didn't want to let me go, they could have killed me long ago. Why let me live? It definitely has nothing to do with me."
Regardless of whether it was related to him or not, Dai Mubai could not admit it.
He has fallen to this point and death may come at any time. He does not want to bear such a heavy crime after his death and be mocked and humiliated by future generations for thousands of years.
The two sons were arguing fiercely, and the Xingluo Emperor, who was unable to move or speak, revealed a trace of sadness in the depths of his eyes.
He was a little confused now. Could it be that the person who helped Qian Renxue was not from the Spirit Hall, but from the Soul Hall?
It's not like the Soul Hall and the Spirit Hall are colluding, just to make things better for everyone, right? How can there be room for two tigers in one mountain?
However, if the Titled Douluo who helped Xue Qinghe came from the Soul Palace, Emperor Xingluo would know the reason.
In his mind, he recalled the figure of the person who contacted him and joined forces with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan to deal with the Soul Palace.
This proposal coincided with the idea of Emperor Xingluo. The Soul Palace was located in the Tiandou Empire and was always a threat to Emperor Xingluo, so Emperor Xingluo agreed to the plan to deal with the Soul Palace.
If this incident really made the Soul Palace dissatisfied with the Xingluo Empire, then the Xingluo Emperor would have nothing to say.
After all, when he made the decision, the strength displayed by the Soul Palace was far less powerful, and the benefits of destroying the Soul Palace were too great, so he could not resist the temptation.
"Qinghe was ordered to attack the Xingluo Emperor. His mission has been successfully completed. He has captured the Xingluo Emperor and his sons. I have come to report."
Xue Qinghe did not bring Thorny Porpoise Douluo and Snake Spear Douluo with him, and the two of them did not dare to approach the Soul Palace for fear that their identities would be exposed.
However, in front of Emperor Xingluo and several of his subordinates, Qian Renxue still called herself Xue Qinghe.
"Look, this is the order from the Soul Palace, and you still want to deny it?"
After hearing Qian Renxue's words, Davis became furious and cursed at Dai Mubai beside him.
He was the prince of the Xingluo Empire and was almost destined to become the next Xingluo Emperor, but ended up like this. How could Davis accept it willingly?
He will never be able to get over this hurdle in his heart.
Before this, he could only complain that the Tiandou Empire was too powerful and had two Titled Douluo to help it, or complain that the sects in the Xingluo Empire were unwilling to contribute to the empire.
But these complaints were of no use. Davis was helpless against both the Titled Douluo and the sects.
But Dai Mubai is different. Even if they are both prisoners, he will rank them according to their status, at least to make Dai Mubai live in pain and regret forever.
Only in this way can Davis feel a little more balanced.
Dai Mubai was completely unmoved, and no matter what Davis said, he remained silent.
Now that it has come to this, what else can he do?
Regret? If regret were useful, he would have changed his life long ago.
Dai Mubai stared blankly at the fog in front of him, and couldn't help but recall the scene when he came here to participate in the Soul Palace entrance examination.
If he hadn't been so impulsive at the time, or more precisely, if he hadn't taken action because he didn't want Zhu Zhuqing to escape his control, none of this would have happened.
Yes, it's all Zhu Zhuqing's fault, it's all that bitch's fault!
