Qian Daoliu left the Haotian Sect, yet the members of the sect felt not the slightest bit of joy.
This was because the Soul Hall's plan to seize control of the empire had taken everyone completely by surprise.
If the Tiandou Empire were to fall under the Soul Hall's control,
Then, across the entire world, no one would be able to stand against the Soul Hall.
Ge Long led his team to a halt outside the imperial palace.
They intended to rescue Emperor Xueye.
But the Spiny Porcupine Douluo blocked the entrance, leaving Ge Long with no way to proceed.
Even though Qian Renxue's identity had been exposed, she had no intention of leaving.
That was precisely because she had absolute confidence.
The Xingluo Empire…
The Starro Emperor's expression darkened, his face turning grim.
The Starro Empire and the Tiandou Empire had been at war with each other for many years over their interests.
All along, Emperor Xingluo had sought to annex the Tiandou Empire's territories.
In terms of military strength, the Xingluo Empire held the upper hand over the Tiandou Empire.
Yet, unexpectedly, the Xingluo Empire had not yet succeeded.
The Tiandou Empire is about to be overthrown by the Soul Hall in a "swap the heir" scheme.
Emperor Xueye's days are numbered.
Qianren Xue has been operating undercover for many years; she has at most a few years left before she ascends to the throne.
Once a few more years have passed…
Qianren Xue might be able to take control of the entire Tian Dou Empire without drawing a single sword.
Although Qian Renxue's true identity has now been exposed,
the Emperor of Xingluo knows that Qian Renxue must have already gained control over numerous high-level factions.
After all, while Qian Renxue was posing as Xue Qinghe, she had won over quite a few people.
These people have reaped the benefits of their alliance with Qian Renxue.
It's likely they'll stick with her through thick and thin.
"Xue Ye, you really are a good-for-nothing."
"Your own son was swapped out, and you didn't even notice? How dare you call yourselves father and son?"
Emperor Xingluo couldn't help but berate him.
In the past, he had indeed hoped for the downfall of the Tiandou Empire.
Because that would eliminate a rival vying with him for interests and territory.
But now, as long as the Soul Hall remains, the Emperor of Xingluo does not want anything to happen to the Tiandou Empire.
The Tiandou Empire is a major ally in the fight against the Soul Hall.
If the Tian Dou Empire were to fall,
even the Emperor of Xingluo would struggle to withstand the Soul Hall.
"Someone, go quickly to reinforce Tiandou City."
"Under no circumstances must the power of the Tiandou Empire fall into the hands of the Soul Hall."
"I recall that Xueye also has a dissolute son."
"Find him immediately and do everything possible to install him as a puppet emperor."
Emperor Xingluo was a seasoned veteran.
He quickly hatched a plan in his mind.
Xue Beng is of the Tiandou royal bloodline—the sole remaining legitimate heir.
To command the Tiandou army against the Hall of Martial Souls, Xue Beng is indispensable.
As long as Xue Beng doesn't die!
The forces loyal to the Tian Dou Empire will not fall apart.
And by seizing this opportunity, Emperor Xingluo can also keep Xuebang under his control.
After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch.
In the end, the Great Emperor Xingluo is doing all this for his own benefit.
By then, the Soul Hall will have suffered defeat.
By controlling the Avalanche, the Xingluo Empire will effectively gain indirect control over the Tiandou Empire.
This is a rare opportunity.
At this moment, Emperor Xingluo did not know that he had accidentally killed Emperor Xueye's last son with his own hands.
[I was gradually getting used to life as an undercover agent in the Tiandou Empire.]
[To become a qualified Crown Prince, I strive to maintain an upright character in the eyes of others. Of course, this isn't difficult, as it is part of the Angel Clan's upbringing—something my grandfather taught me from a young age.]
[Beyond that, I won't pass up any opportunity to win over allies who might be of help.]
[I soon had quite a few noble factions whose interests were tied to mine.]
[I also extended warm invitations to any Soul Masters with potential.]
[Among them was Tang San.]
[At first, I learned about him from my dear younger sister, Xue Ke.]
[At that time, Tang San was studying at Yuexuan under the alias Tang Yin.]
[I often heard Xue Ke mention him, her words brimming with admiration, so I knew he was an interesting person.]
[I wanted to win him over and make him work for me, but I didn't succeed.]
[Later, when Xue Ye was on the verge of death, Dugu Bo sensed something was amiss and joined forces with Tang San to storm the imperial palace.]
[Thus began the Tian Dou Palace Coup.]
[I once again sincerely invited Tang San to join us, hoping he would see the error of his ways and return to the right path; to this end, I even offered a generous reward.]
[But Tang San still refused.]
[I stopped holding back and engaged Tang San in a fierce battle.]
[In the end, I suffered my first defeat in life.]
[I was defeated by him!]
[Though I was unwilling to accept it, I had no choice but to retreat.]
[Spending so many years as an undercover agent in Tian Dou wasted a lot of my training time.]
[I couldn't devote all my energy to training like a dedicated Soul Master.]
[This was a major reason for my failure!]
[Back at the Hall of Martial Souls, this weighed heavily on my mind.]
[I secretly resolved that one day I would defeat Tang San and make him serve the Soul Hall completely.]
[Grandfather began the assessment for the Angel God's legacy for me.]
[With my talent, it will only take a few years for me to pass the Nine Trials of the Angel and become the new Angel God.]
The Divine Realm.
The God of Destruction shook his head, unable to understand the purpose behind Qian Daoliu sending Qian Renxue to infiltrate the Tian Dou Empire.
Even if the Hall of Martial Souls were to carry out a plan to usurp the kingdom,
they shouldn't have sent a genius like Qian Renshu to do it.
As Tianmu said, going undercover in the Tiandou Empire wasted far too much of Qian Renshu's cultivation time.
Since Qian Daoliu's goal from the very beginning was to make Qian Renshu the successor to the Angel Clan,
then devoting themselves entirely to cultivating Qian Renshu to become stronger is what the Angel Clan should be doing.
But Qian Daoliu has put the cart before the horse.
He sent Qian Renxue to infiltrate the Tiandou Empire starting at the age of nine.
This is nothing short of foolish—a complete waste of time.
After all, power is the ultimate measure of everything.
With enough power, what is there that cannot be done?
For mortals, if the Hall of Martial Souls were to produce a deity, conquering the Tian Dou Empire would take but an instant.
How could mere mortals dare to defy the will of the gods?
Any enemy who opposes the gods has only one fate: death.
The God of Kindness sighed, feeling pity for Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue was a pitiful little girl.
From a young age, because of the Qianxun Disease, she was despised and rejected by Bi Bidong.
Then, at the age of nine, she left for a distant land to go undercover in the Tiandou Empire.
As a result, her natural talents went to waste.
If Qian Renshuo ever comes to the Divine Realm,
the Goddess of Kindness will surely take good care of her.
She felt genuine pity for Qian Renxue!
Tiandou Imperial Palace.
Qian Renxue looked dejected.
Even without the Sky Canopy's exposure, she would have failed the mission because she lost to Tang San.
Thankfully, Tang San had already been eliminated!
Otherwise, Qian Renxue would never have been able to sleep soundly again.
"Xiao Xue, you've worked so hard all these years!"
Qian Daoliu witnessed this scene.
He felt deeply guilty.
If it hadn't been for the impact of the plan...
perhaps Qian Renxue would have already become a Titled Douluo.
She would have broken Tang Hao's record long ago!
In fact, it wouldn't even be impossible for Qian Renxue to become a god.
Besides, Qian Renshu would not have had to endure so many years of loneliness and torment.
Qian Daoliu could imagine that, without any family to keep her company, Qian Renshu must be longing for them deeply.
