Chapter 114: Snowy Night Cleans Up the Kingdoms, Dugu Bo Dies, and the Huangfu Family Enters the World Early
Dugu Bo was threatened by Emperor Xue Ye and had no choice but to disguise himself as an evil soul master to assassinate the kings and generals of the vassal kingdoms and principalities who were against Emperor Xue Ye, as well as the ministers who opposed Xue Ye internally.
Xue Ye also deployed heavy troops on the border. After Dugu Bo created the chaos, he stationed troops in the name of eliminating evil soul masters and protecting vassal states, and took the opportunity to retake these areas.
However, considering his own strength, Xue Ye does not intend to directly eliminate all those royal families. Instead, he plans to support the unappreciated illegitimate sons or nephews of the former king to continue to serve as local kings, implement a policy of winning over local clans, and at the same time send his own people into the court to rule the country from behind the scenes, intending to gradually swallow up these areas.
After weakening the power of the Spirit Hall, the Xing Luo Empire also began to deal with disobedient kingdoms and provinces.
However, the reality did not match expectations. Human nature is that when external contradictions weaken, internal contradictions will arise and factions in the camp will engage in infighting.
After achieving the goal of suppressing the power of the Spirit Hall, the originally unbreakable alliance between Xingluo, Tiandou, Beiyuan, Qibao and other forces also began to show differences, and each side continued to make small moves.
The two empires want to deal with the disobedient kingdoms. Beiyuan and Qibao Liuli Sect, which cooperate with the two royal families of Dai and Xue, are naturally not happy. Even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect is secretly intervening. What they need is not a unified Tiandou Empire or Xingluo Empire. At this stage, they need two empires that are big but not strong, which can stop the Spirit Hall. Otherwise, after the royal families of the two empires control these divided kingdoms and principalities and integrate the forces, the next step is to point the spearhead at the various sects.
There are only interests between forces, there is no friendship to speak of. There are too many things involved and they are too complicated.
Therefore, the Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan, the Eastern Divine Religion and other forces intervened and secretly obstructed the actions of the two empires. They also took advantage of the chaos created by Dugu Bo to expand their control and influence, such as secretly supporting the local clans; supporting the villains to fight against the Dynasty Army and the Imperial Army; cultivating their own spokespersons; ...
The two empires did not achieve their expected goals at all. For example, the Tiandou Empire only controlled the Principality of Salikel in the eastern part of the continent, and controlled 3/1 of three kingdoms including the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom and the Silves Kingdom. The remaining Barak Kingdom received full support from the Eastern Religion, and Xue Ye controlled even less.
Seeing that his goal could not be achieved, Xue Wuming said angrily: "Your Majesty, Ning Fengzhi, Yu Yuanzhen, Zhuang Jingxing and others have gone too far! They were our allies not long ago, but now they are trying to obstruct us."
Xue Ye saw it very clearly. "It's normal. They are just using each other. If it were me, I would also stop it. If the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect and other sects were to decline, I would most likely be the first person to take advantage of them."
"But with our current strength, we can easily wipe out those kingdoms and principalities! I am unwilling to accept this. The great cause of the ages is right in front of us, but we are stopped at the last step." Xue Wuming sighed, very unwilling.
"Uncle, think more positively. With our current strength, we can certainly take down all those principalities and kingdoms, but we will also suffer heavy losses. If we injure one thousand enemies, we will lose eight hundred of our own, which will allow others to take advantage. Therefore, the current situation may be the best. Compared with the past, we are now winning a great victory!"
"It's because we are not strong enough. It would be great if we could activate all the clan treasures." Xue Wuming fell into reverie and mentioned the clan treasures intentionally or unintentionally.
When Xue Ye heard Xue Wuming mention the clan treasure, his face changed, and his tone was a little stiff, and he said with a bit of warning: "I will solve it now, and you don't have to worry about it, uncle. Everything is under my control. You just need to follow my instructions, and you can witness the prosperity of Tiandou."
The Tiandou clan treasure is Xue Ye’s biggest secret and reliance. Apart from handing it over to the next successor of Tiandou before his death, he does not allow anyone to know the true secret of the clan treasure.
"Your Majesty, look, Dugu Bo escaped from Barak City injured." Xue Wuming suddenly pointed to the east, pointing to a quickly fleeing figure, and said in a low voice.
That's right, Xue Ye is now leading Xue Wuming and the royal guards to secretly ambush Dugu Bo, waiting for Dugu Bo, the thug, to complete all the tasks and take the blame, and then to get rid of him after squeezing out all the value, so as to activate the family treasure. Dugu Yan had been sentenced to death by Xue Ye a long time ago, and Xue Ye had never intended to let Dugu Bo return to Tiandou City alive from the beginning.
"It came out so quickly. It seems that there was an accident in Barak City. It should be the intervention of the Eastern God Cult. However, Dugu Bo was injured, so our plan will be much easier." Xue Ye analyzed with a smile, and ordered:
"Order the imperial guards to follow Dugu Bo closely. When he escapes to a deserted place, attack him with all your strength and kill him!" Xue Ye and others kept tracking Dugu Bo in secret at a distance of 4 to 5 kilometers.
Dugu Bo's clothes were torn and his body was covered in blood. He fled without stopping until he reached an uninhabited area 500 kilometers away from the city of Barak. He turned his head and found that the people from the Eastern God Cult had not followed him, so he dared to take a rest.
Dugu Bo patted his chest after surviving the disaster, and began to talk to himself breathlessly: "Huhuhuhu, I finally escaped. I didn't expect King Barak to be so timid. After hearing that the Xue family had two Titled Douluo, he immediately defected to the Eastern Divine Religion. Not only did he make the Eastern Divine Religion the state religion, Dongfang Aoxie the state teacher, and gave up half of the Barak Kingdom, he also let Dongfang Aoxie, a level 95 title, live in his own palace, and handed over all the beauties in the harem to him, just to prevent Xue Ye from sending people to assassinate him."
"Tsk tsk tsk, King Barak is really too patient. In order to survive, he followed Dongfang Aoxie all the time. He even gave Dongfang Aoxie a butt-thumping when his wife was making love with him. It's really an eyesore."
Dugu Bo was unwilling to accept this. "I have become a knife in Xue Ye's hand this time. Now I have offended too many people. There is no place for me in the entire Douluo Continent. Moreover, Xue Ye is not trustworthy. After I go back to pick up Yan Yan, I will leave Douluo Continent directly and settle down on an island overseas. I will not return to the continent until I become a Super Douluo. After I become a Super Douluo, I will definitely kill all the members of the Xue family to relieve my hatred!"
Suddenly, the space behind Dugu Bo fluctuated and a crack appeared. A group of people with strong auras walked out one after another. These people were dressed exquisitely but slightly rustically, which was very different from the popular clothing in Douluo Continent today.
The soul pressure emanating from the leader was even stronger than that of Dugu Bo. He was actually a level 95 Super Douluo, and was accompanied by a level 92 and a level 91 Super Douluo.
Dugu Bo sensed the noise behind him and thought that it was the people from the Eastern Divine Religion who were catching up with him, so he ignored his injuries and once again activated his eighth soul skill to freeze time, attacked the enemy, and then quickly escaped.
"Who is the villain who dares to attack me!" The leading Titled Douluo had finally come out and was about to embrace the beautiful world, but he was attacked by another Titled Douluo as soon as he came out. He immediately used [Five Elements Kirin Field] to break the attack, and then activated the soul bone skill "Qilin Stepping on the Sky" to counterattack Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo was extremely surprised to see that the other party was not from the Eastern Divine Religion. He had never seen such strong men before and didn't understand when such a powerful Super Douluo appeared in Douluo Continent.
Dugu Bo retreated and said, "Senior, I'm sorry, this is a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to attack you. I am willing to compensate you! I have a ten thousand year soul bone and a lot of gold soul coins. I am willing to give them all to you, senior."
At this time, a stunningly beautiful young woman suddenly stood up from the team behind the mysterious strong man, pointed at Dugu Bo and said, "It's him! Father, this man is the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo! Xiao He, Xiao Bai and the others were killed by Dugu Bo, and I was also severely injured by him."
Dugu Bo recognized the woman. Wasn't this the group of people he had chased in the Sunset Forest? He didn't expect that the other party was not lying. There were really many Titled Douluo in her family. Dugu Bo knew that there was no room for easing, so he stopped seeking peace and turned around to run away desperately. "Where are you running? Kill them!" The mysterious strong man in the lead immediately led his people to chase Dugu Bo with all their strength.
Whether for the purpose of revenge for his daughter and tribe members, or for the purpose of silencing them and preventing Dugu Bo from spreading the secret that he suddenly appeared here through space, this mysterious man must get rid of Dugu Bo.
It turns out that this group of people is the hidden force [Huangfu Family]!
The mysterious and powerful figure in the lead was none other than Huangfu Ruiyao's father and the current patriarch of the Huangfu family: Huangfu Ba Ri. The two Titled Douluo next to him were Huangfu Ba Ri's second and third brothers: Huangfu Ba Liang and Huangfu Ba Xing!
When Huangfu Ruiyao returned to the family with the magical object that could break the family secret realm, it normally would take decades of practice before it could be used.
Fortunately, there were still some fragments of the previously damaged divine object. They used the two together, which greatly enhanced the effect of breaking the boundary. In less than two years, they were able to enter and exit the family secret realm freely.
The location of the teleportation is no longer random, but a fixed location, which is here - the clan land of the Huangfu family 3 years ago! Since the Huangfu family was accidentally trapped in the family secret realm due to internal strife years ago, this place has gradually declined.
Fifteen thousand years have passed. The city that was once the most prosperous in the entire Douluo Continent has now become an uninhabited area. This is just like how the world has changed.
Xue Ye and Xue Wuming, who were tracking Dugu Bo 4 kilometers away, saw Dugu Bo walk into the no-man's land and were about to attack, but suddenly found a violent fluctuation of soul power in front of them, and the power could reach the level of Super Douluo. Xue Ye was still hesitating whether to continue chasing him, but suddenly found that Dugu Bo was fleeing towards him.
Dugu Bo couldn't even defeat Huangfu Ba Ri, let alone the three Title Douluo joining forces. His life was hanging by a thread and in danger. He had no choice but to flee desperately. While fleeing, he accidentally ran towards Xue Ye. Dugu Bo also found Xue Ye and Xue Wuming at this moment.
"Your Majesty, I have completed your mission! Someone wants to rebel and attack me, please come and save me, let's deal with them together!" Dugu Bo shouted loudly to Xue Ye. At this moment, he was not in the mood to think about why Xue Ye followed him with a large army. He just wanted to lure the enemy to Xue Ye so that he could escape.
Huangfu Ba Ri and others also caught up and found that there was a strong man of the same level as themselves in front of them, and there was also a level 91 title. From what Dugu Bo said, these people were Dugu Bo's superiors, but the other party did not show anger after seeing them chasing Dugu Bo. Some were just surprised at the identities of themselves and others, and even a little happy.
Huangfu Ba Ri couldn't tell whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
Xue Ye was also very shocked to suddenly see a group of strange strong men. He didn't understand how Dugu Bo had offended them. He was also worried that all this was just a show acted by Dugu Bo and the others. He was afraid that it was a trap and did not dare to act rashly.
In this way, Huangfu Ba Ri led his men to guard in the west, Xue Ye led his men to guard in the east, Dugu Bo was caught in the middle, and the three parties were in a stalemate.
At this time, Xue Ye observed the martial spirits of the Huangfu family and others: their heads were like elk, their hooves were like wolves, their tails were like dragon tails, their heads were round, they had dragon scales and a horn, and their bodies were emitting colorful light. The more Xue Ye looked at them, the more familiar they became, as if he had seen related records in the ancient royal books.
Suddenly, Xue Ye seemed to have thought of something and broke the silence first, "Are you from the Huangfu family? I am the Emperor Xue Ye of the Tiandou Empire. I wonder why the nobles would have a conflict with Du Douluo?"
Huangfu Ba Ri and others were slightly shocked to see that Xue Ye actually recognized their identities, but then they realized that they had heard of the Tiandou Empire. The disciples sent by the family before had briefly introduced the force, which was an empire with a history of thousands of years.
Although his Huangfu family had been in seclusion for 15,000 years, it was a family that had produced a deity after all. For a long time, the Huangfu family was an invincible existence across the continent. Therefore, even after 10,000 years, some records would be left behind. As the master of an empire that had been passed down for thousands of years, it was normal for the other party to recognize the Qilin martial spirit.
This is indeed the case. The Tiandou Imperial Family does have records about the Huangfu Family. In fact, not only the Tiandou Imperial Family, but any force in the Douluo Continent that has been passed down for thousands of years, or has inherited a divine throne, has more or less records of the Huangfu Family, such as: Spirit Hall, Poseidon Island, and the Xingluo Empire.
However, these are all tens of thousands of years of history, and the Huangfu family has been in seclusion for more than 10,000 years, so everyone has long forgotten them. Even if they were recorded in writing, they were just placed in the corner of the library or treasure house to collect dust. Few people would look through them, and few people were qualified to look through these secrets.
Therefore, over time, no one remembered the Huangfu family. After all, the strength was respected in Douluo Continent, and the soul masters who were qualified to read these secrets were busy improving their soul power, so how could they have time to study these humanities and history! Xue Ye also saw the records about the Huangfu family in the royal family on a whim after he had no hope of improving his soul power.
Huangfu Ba Ri responded, "So it was Emperor Xue Ye who came in person. I am so sorry for what I have done! I am indeed from the Huangfu family. Two years ago, Dugu Bo attacked my family for no reason, killing nine young geniuses of my Huangfu family and severely injuring my young clan leader. This time, I am here to seek revenge on Dugu Bo! The blood debt must be paid with blood, and Dugu Bo must sacrifice his life to the genius of my family!"
Xue Ye heaved a sigh of relief, "Hahaha! So that's how it is. I didn't expect that our goals are the same. I am also here to kill Dugu Bo. This Dugu Bo is indeed guilty of a heinous crime!"
"My royal family is Dugu Bo's savior. I valued his talent back then. Not only did I help Dugu Bo defeat his enemies, I also made him a guest official of the Tiandou Empire. I have always treated him with the courtesy of a national scholar. I have tried my best to meet all his requests. But I didn't expect that Dugu Bo would be ungrateful and become even more outrageous. From yesterday to this morning, he actually attacked and killed many ministers and kings of vassal states of the Tiandou Empire... I came here this time to eliminate the termites in the empire."
Xue Ye and Huangfu Ba Ri smiled at each other and decided to work together to kill Dugu Bo.
After hearing Xue Ye's words, Dugu Bo gradually understood. He finally realized that Xue Ye had never thought of letting him go from the beginning. He had left no way for the Dugu family to survive, and his granddaughter might have died.
"Ahhh, Xue Ye! You are so vicious, you deserve to die!" Dugu Bo went completely crazy, his eyes were bloodshot, bulging outwards as if they were about to explode, and his whole body was filled with death. "I want you to pay with your life!"
As he spoke, Dugu Bo ignored his injuries and the attacks from the Huangfu family, injected all his soul power into his inner elixir, and rushed towards Xue Ye like a madman. It was obvious that he wanted to die together with Xue Ye.
But he was only level 93 after all, and was seriously injured. Facing the attacks of two level 95, one level 1, and two level 92, he could not resist at all. With a "boom", the attacks of several people collided with each other, and Dugu Bo was crushed into powder, leaving only a piece of head soul bone in the original place.
