Chapter 208: Emperor Xueye's solicitation

On the official road leading to Tiandou Imperial City, carriages moved slowly forward.

In the carriage, looking at Luo Ling who was laughing from time to time, Qian Renxue, who was disguised as Xue Qinghe, couldn't help but reveal a strange expression.

"what are you laughing at?"

Luo Ling turned his head and blinked. After a while, he said, "I remembered something happy."

"What happy thing?"

"Yu Xiaogang is a eunuch."

"..."

Qian Renxue was speechless. She always felt that Luo Ling was not telling the truth.

Luo Ling smiled and didn't continue talking. Of course, he was not laughing at Yu Xiaogang, but at Tang San.

He knew everything about Tang Hao's sacrifice and even about being blasted out when he took Tang San to find the Blue Silver King.

Once the Blood Demon Ritual is performed, a connection is established with the Original God, who can spy on the believers.

It's just so unreasonable.

Turning his gaze away from Qian Renxue, Luo Ling looked out the window again, in the direction of the Tiandou Empire.

In addition to Tang Hao's sacrifice, he also felt the birth of some new believers.

It seems that Yu Xiaogang and the others are working very hard, so it seems that he is not far from completing his task of testing 100,000 believers as the original god.

……

Ten days later, the convoy returned to Tiandou Imperial City.

Members of Tiandou Royal Academy were summoned by Emperor Xue Ye.

Inside the hall, Emperor Xue Ye looked at the seven people below with a look of satisfaction on his face.

He already knew the result of the finals. Although Tiandou Royal Academy did not win the championship, it still got a good result of second place.

This is already extremely outstanding. You have to know that the Xingluo Empire Royal Academy was eliminated in the second round, and it was eliminated by Luo Ling.

This greatly increased the power of the Tiandou Empire.

"Kids, I'm proud of you! Even though you didn't win the championship, you have demonstrated the majesty of our Tiandou Empire!"

Emperor Xue Ye said solemnly, "I have decided to confer the title of Imperial Marquis on Luo Ling, the title of Imperial Earl on Dugu Yan, and the title of Imperial Viscount on the rest of you in recognition of your contributions!"

As Emperor Xue Ye finished speaking, all the ministers in the hall were shocked, especially the ones looking at Luo Ling.

This is the Marquis of the Empire!

It is the most honorable title in the empire besides prince and duke!

There is only one prince, Prince Xuexing, and the number of nobles with the title of duke can be counted on one hand.

This means that Luo Ling's title is already ranked among the top five in the Tiandou Empire!
"Your Majesty! Is it inappropriate to confer a title of Marquis? Young friend Luo Ling is only 15 years old!"

One minister could no longer sit still and stood up to give advice.

"Does Lord Liu have any opinions? Marquis Luo Ling is only fifteen years old and is already a Soul Emperor. He led our Tiandou Empire to win the second place in the Soul Master Competition. If it weren't for his injury, it wouldn't be impossible for him to win the first place."

"Isn't Yang Wei's contribution to our Tiandou Empire enough to be conferred the title of Marquis?" Emperor Xue Ye looked at the minister who spoke with a sharp gaze.

The talent displayed by Luo Ling was truly heaven-defying. A 15-year-old Soul Emperor possessing a 100,000-year soul ring was simply unheard of. When Emperor Xue Ye first heard the news, he thought he had heard it wrong.

He wanted to tie Luo Ling to the chariot of the Tiandou Empire to such a monster. He even considered betrothing his daughter to Luo Ling, but he gave up this plan in the end.

Luo Ling is from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and the little princess of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is very close to Luo Ling. It is obvious that Ning Fengzhi wants to bring Luo Ling and Ning Rongrong together. If he interferes and makes Ning Fengzhi unhappy, it will be a loss.

However, he couldn't grant the marriage openly, and he also planned to let his daughter contact Luo Ling privately. It would be best if it could succeed, and Ning Fengzhi couldn't say anything.

In the competition between daughters' families, Ning Fengzhi cannot bully the weak.

The minister who was being stared at by Emperor Xue Ye suddenly felt as if his back was pierced by thorns, and cold sweat could not help but flow down his forehead.

He looked around and found that he was the only one who stood up to refute, and he immediately regretted it.

"Your Majesty is right! I am short-sighted!" He quickly changed his words with an unpleasant smile on his face.

Luo Ling had no interest in the struggles in the court. In his eyes, titles of marquis and earl meant nothing.

Qian Renxue is about to take over the entire Tiandou Empire, who would still care about a small title?

However, Luo Ling did not oppose Emperor Xue Ye and gladly accepted the reward.

……

After leaving the palace, Luo Ling went to the Prince's Mansion first.

Qian Renxue seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"The fifteen-year-old Imperial Marquis, Marquis Luo Ling, is so majestic." Qian Renxue joked when she saw Luo Ling.

"How can a mere marquis compare to the future Emperor of Tiandou?" Luo Ling responded with a smile. As he spoke, he asked, "Now that the competition is over and Xue Beng has been abolished, when do you plan to replace Emperor Xue Ye?"

"Now that the Soul Master Competition has just ended, I plan to proceed step by step. Let Poison Douluo help poison Emperor Xue Ye and slowly kill him." Qian Renxue said after thinking for a while.

This is the same way as in the original novel, but the Dugu Bo in the original novel stood on Tang San's side, while the current Dugu Bo is from the Spirit Hall.

"Why do we have to waste our time trying to kill Emperor Xue Ye? Wouldn't it be better to find a chance to get rid of Emperor Xue Ye?" Luo Ling said disdainfully.

Qian Renxue's eyes widened when she heard this, and she said unhappily, "Do you know what you are talking about? Emperor Xue Ye is the emperor of a country after all, and his sudden death will inevitably cause turmoil in the imperial power. Although Xue Beng is crippled, Prince Xue Xing is still eyeing him covetously, and many nobles are on Prince Xue Xing's side!"

"Then just get rid of them all at once." Luo Ling showed a dangerous smile.

Qian Renxue was shocked by Luo Ling's bold words. Prince Xuexing has many nobles supporting him. Killing them all will definitely cause an uproar in the Tiandou Empire!
Currently, Qian Renxue has only about one-third of the supporters among the nobles of the Tiandou Empire, another one-third are Prince Xuexing's people, and the rest remain neutral.

"Don't do anything rash!" Qian Renxue was a little panicked.

Luo Ling chuckled and said calmly: "Don't worry, even if I get rid of those people, I will find a legitimate reason. Direct assassination is the lowest level of practice."

"What are you going to do?" Qian Renxue felt a little relieved and asked curiously.

"How did the avalanche fail?" Luo Ling suddenly asked.

Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something, "You want to get rid of them like you got rid of the avalanche?"

"Avalanche was originally supported by Prince Xuexing. If Avalanche can be related to the cult, then it's not too much to say that Prince Xuexing is also a member of the cult, right?"

"Prince Xuexing can, and so can those ministers who are close to them."

"Even Emperor Xue Ye could be a member of a cult."

Luo Ling gave him a meaningful look.
