NightChapter 168 Collapse on a Snowy Night
Fifth soul skill: Mirage!
Long before the banquet on Xue Ye, Lin Hanye had ambushed a clone in the Tiandou Palace.
The moment he released his martial spirit to confront Tang Chen, his clone moved.
Although he was unable to use the head soul bone skills due to his clone, with Lin Hanye's control over his mental power, he was able to concentrate all his mental power on one point, and killing a low-level soul master like Xue Ye was as easy as eating and drinking.
A moment later, a beam of invisible and intangible cold light shot out from the center of the clone's eyebrows and sank into Xue Ye's almost negligible tiny spiritual sea.
"There's murderous intent!"
As a Titled Douluo, Gu Rong seemed to have sensed something instinctively, but because his mental power was much different from Lin Hanye's, he was unable to perceive anything. Before the others could react, he immediately protected Ning Fengzhi behind him.
At the same time, he shouted: "There is an assassin, protect His Majesty!"
The next second, Xue Ye screamed "Ah" and fell to the ground. His eyes were turned inward and his skin was pale, as if he was frightened to death.
"Come here, protect the emperor, protect the emperor."
Seeing Xue Ye falling to the ground, Xue Xing hurriedly called on the royal knights to protect Emperor Xue Ye's body, but he himself immediately hid under the banquet table, not daring to show his head, for fear that he would also become the target of the assassin.
At this time, Gu Rong finally discovered the trace of Lin Hanye's clone because of the soul power fluctuations emitted when Lin Hanye's clone released the soul shock just now.
"Where are you escaping to!"
He dodged and rushed in.
The result was, without a doubt, a failure.
Lin Hanye's clone dissipated the moment he released the soul shock.
"Qibao Zhen Shen, go!"
Ning Fengzhi's reaction was also not slow. The moment Emperor Xue Ye fell to the ground, he released his Seven Treasures True Body and used the healing skills among the first six skills of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower to heal Emperor Xue Ye.
It turned out that the treatment was not a big deal. As soon as it started, he was frightened to death.
Emperor Xue Ye is actually dead.
How could he die? How could he dare to die? How could he die in front of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect in front of everyone?
If he died like this, what would happen to his already precarious Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect? Gu Rong was the only Titled Douluo at the scene.
If there was someone who could kill the Emperor of Tiandou silently in front of Gu Rong, a Titled Douluo, in the heavily guarded Tiandou Palace.
I'm afraid that even the Spirit Hall's chief priest and Tang Chen, the two peerless Douluo, would find it difficult to do it.
In this case, will someone blame Xue Ye's death on their Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect? In an instant, Ning Fengzhi's heart sank to the bottom.
Now, his only hope is that Gu Rong can catch the real murderer and assassin.
At worst, we have to fight him and make him appear in public.
At the same time, someone shouted, "Your Majesty, collapsed!"
It would have been fine if he hadn't shouted, but once he shouted, the entire banquet scene at the Tiandou Palace fell into chaos in an instant.
It was not until a moment later that he calmed down under the intimidation of Marshal Gelong of the Tiandou Empire.
Xue Xing finally came out from under the table when he saw Ge Long and his troops arrive. He looked terrified and hesitant. "Marshal Ge Long, how is my brother?" Although he had heard someone shouting that Xue Ye was dead, Xue Xing still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, because his position was given by Xue Ye. Once Xue Ye died, how could he have a good life? Wait, why can't he have a good life?
When the emperor's elder brother competed for the throne, in order not to leave himself a weakness, he did not give birth to any children. It was only after he ascended the throne that he married, appointed a queen, and expanded his harem.
Now, only the Queen is pregnant in the harem.
It is hard to say whether it is a boy or not.
Even if the ruler was young and the country was in doubt, the royal relatives would never allow a baby who was still breastfeeding to become emperor and allow an outsider like the queen to hold power.
Other brothers were killed or demoted by their brother Xue Ye because they had participated in the fight for the throne.
Looking at the entire Tiandou City, it seems that only his younger brother, Prince Xuexing, is the most suitable person to ascend the throne.
In this short moment, Xue Xing quickly changed her mindset.
What he felt in his heart was no longer fear, but excitement and anticipation. He expected Xue Ye to really die, and then he would ascend the throne.
Ge Long, who had just finished checking Xue Ye's physical condition, didn't know what Xue Xing was thinking. Seeing Xue Xing asking, he sighed helplessly, shook his head, and said, "Seal off the palace for me. No one who is suspected is allowed to enter or leave until the matter is investigated."
After getting Ge Long's confirmation, Xue Xing was secretly delighted. Then, she rolled her eyes and knew that it was time for her to show off. She changed her previous dandy image and became wise and brave. She questioned Ning Fengzhi, "Master Ning, shouldn't you give us an explanation?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present, including Marshal Ge Long, looked at Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi's heart skipped a beat. He, who used to say black was white, suddenly felt like "mud falling into the crotch, it must be shit if it's not shit". He said seriously, "What's there to explain. Could it be that Prince Xuexing thinks that your Majesty was killed by my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?"
"It's hard to say. After all, some people have criminal records. Maybe they are dissatisfied with my brother's attention to President Lin and his intention to support the Spirit Master Guild. Also, don't forget that you and Bone Douluo are the closest to my brother, and there is only one Titled Douluo here. Where is Bone Douluo?"
Xue Xing continued to question.
Although Ge Long felt that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would not murder the emperor, considering that Xue Xing was currently the only candidate to inherit the throne, he still followed his words and said, "Sect Master Ning, call Bone Douluo over."
Ning Fengzhi suppressed the anger in his heart, exhaled lightly, and said to Ge Long: "Marshal Ge Long, after His Majesty was attacked, Uncle Gu went to the palace to hunt down the assassin."
"Well, we'll wait here. The palace has only one exit behind us. Don't say that we didn't catch him or that the assassin is missing."
Snow Star Road.
After a while, Gu Rong walked out of the bedroom. Not noticing that the atmosphere was wrong, he walked straight to Ning Fengzhi.
Although Ning Fengzhi already knew the result, he still asked, "Uncle Gu, what's the situation? Have you found the assassin's trace?"
Gu Rong shook his head and said, "I just searched the palace inside and out, but I didn't find any trace of the assassin. I think the man must have gone far away. As far as I know, there are no more than three people in the world who can possess such skills."
Prince Xue Xing said: "The three people you are talking about should be the Great Priest of the Spirit Hall, Haotian Douluo, and President Lin, right?"
"Yes, there may be many Title Douluo in this world who are stronger than me, but there are only these three who can quietly kill Your Majesty in front of me."
Gu Rong said with great certainty.
In fact, he wanted to talk about Lin Hanye more, but considering that Lin Hanye said he would destroy even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, he really didn't dare to offend them.
