Chapter 169: Caught in a Jar, Can't Escape

Jian Douluo's words were like ice that pierced the bones, instantly dropping the atmosphere in the room to freezing point.

Ning Fengzhi, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief.

The once majestic face of Emperor Xue Ye now looked extremely pale, and his weak breathing was like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.

But there were no signs of trauma or poisoning on his body.

It all seems illogical.

Ning Fengzhi's heart was in turmoil, and he found it difficult to accept this sudden change.

"Your Majesty was fine yesterday, how did he suddenly become like this? No, it's impossible."

Yu Xiaogang frowned and looked serious.

He knew that once Emperor Xue Ye passed away, the fate of the Tiandou Empire would hang in the balance.

If Crown Prince Xue Qinghe takes the opportunity to seize power, then with the support of Spirit Hall behind him, he will completely change the direction of the empire.

In that case, Xue Qinghe would become a puppet of the Spirit Hall.

In this case, not only the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Haotian Sect, but even their Shrek Academy would probably have no place to stand.

Perhaps this will lead to an inevitable war.

"Oh no, we might have fallen into the Crown Prince's trap!"

"Teacher, do you mean that this was done by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he is deliberately blaming us?"

"Well, it's very likely. We can't stay here for long, we have to leave immediately!"

Yu Xiaogang's voice was low and firm.

He realized that no matter what the truth was, they had become the target of public criticism and had to get out of danger as soon as possible.

"That's too late!"

Jian Douluo was alert to everything around him and had already sensed the aura coming from a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse.

"What have you done to my father?!"

Xue Qinghe pushed the door open and walked in, his eyes sharp.

Her appearance made the already complicated situation even more confusing.

Ning Fengzhi noticed that in addition to the thin old man behind Xue Qinghe, there were three more Titled Douluo-level powerhouses.

Xue Qinghe's voice was very loud, as if he wanted the guards to hear it on purpose.

The guards immediately became nervous and gathered at the door.

Everyone was shocked to see that Emperor Xue Ye, lying on the bed, was already lifeless.

Faced with this sudden change, Ning Fengzhi, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were at a loss.

They knew that they had fallen into the trap set by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, but it was too late to defend themselves.

Xue Qinghe shouted loudly:
"Master Ning, Tang Yin, what method did you use to cure the seriously ill Majesty? Only you know it best. Is it some forbidden technique? So after the Majesty recovered briefly, he was attacked by the evil technique again, which led to his current state."

After hearing this, Ning Fengzhi felt as if struck by lightning, and his face turned extremely ugly.

Tang San suddenly said:

"Your Highness, is this the trap you carefully set for us? His Majesty was fine yesterday, but he suddenly became like this. It seems that you are the only one who has seen him during this period? Don't you have any suspicion?"

Tang San's blatant questioning shocked the guards. They were also at a loss as to what to do. After all, Xue Qinghe had only been in Emperor Xue Ye's bedroom for a few minutes.

“How dare you! You actually slandered me. Even now, you still dare to quibble. Tang San, you deliberately concealed your identity to get close to His Majesty, what do you want to do?!”

Tang San was shocked.

"So you already knew my true identity. It seems that you are as sinister and cunning as Senior Dugu said."

"Humph! Can you believe the words of a dead person?"

While Qian Renxue was speaking, she glanced at Emperor Xue Ye.

At this time, Emperor Xue Ye had completely died.

"Come here! Capture these thieves who are plotting to murder His Majesty!"

"Xue Qinghe, you are the real murderer who murdered His Majesty. You wanted to take advantage of the situation to frame us. What benefits did the Spirit Hall give you? That you could even kill your own father? Sometimes I even doubt whether you are His Majesty's biological son!"

Emperor Xue Ye trusted Ning Fengzhi immensely when he was alive. Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and the guards were stunned, not knowing what to do.

Ning Fengzhi suddenly said:
"Your Highness, if I'm not mistaken, the four Title Douluo behind you are all from the Spirit Hall. Do you dare to say that you are not colluding with the Spirit Hall?"

Qian Renxue smiled evilly.

"I am the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire, the future heir to the throne. But my uncle and brother are eyeing the throne that should belong to me, and even you outsiders dare to disrespect me. If I don't seek help from the Spirit Hall, do I have to hand over the throne to you?"

"It seems that you have no intention of letting us leave here today."

"Teacher, I don't want to be your enemy, but you are responsible for His Majesty's death!"

Qian Renxue was not in a hurry to take action because she needed some time to plan.

At this moment, her people were spread all over the palace.

Ning Fengzhi winked at Jian Douluo.

Jian Douluo released his Seven Killing Sword Martial Spirit without hesitation.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San also released their martial spirits and spirit rings and prepared for battle.

Instead of surrendering, it is better to give it a try.

Qian Renxue smiled grimly.

"You dare to use force in the palace! Good! Very good!"

"Take them down! Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

Following Qian Renxue's order, the four Titled Douluo behind him all activated their martial spirits and spirit rings.

Although their martial spirits are different, their spirit rings are all the same, two yellow, two purple and five black.

Tang San, Ning Fengzhi and Yu Xiaogang all underestimated Xue Qinghe's ability. They did not expect that the Spirit Hall would send out four Titled Douluo for him.

Facing four Titled Douluo-level masters at the same time, there was not a single trace of fear on Jian Douluo's face.

"I'll stop them, you guys retreat!"

Before Jian Douluo finished his words, an extremely powerful sword energy swung out.

"Master, be careful!"

The fastest Ghost Leopard Douluo immediately took Qian Renxue away from Chen Xin's attack area.

After dodging Chen Xin's sword attack, the other three Titled Douluo immediately launched a counterattack.

But Chen Xin ignored them. He wanted to take Ning Fengzhi and the other two away from this troubled place as soon as possible.

The four escaped from Emperor Xue Ye's bedroom and just as they arrived at the square of the imperial palace, they saw a mighty army of soul masters.

Yu Xiaogang panicked.

"I'm afraid these are all soul masters sent by the Spirit Hall."

Suddenly, a dragon roar was heard in the sky, and an invisible force descended from the sky.

"So it's Jian Dao Chen Xin who's here. No wonder he sent us out of the mountain."

Chen Xin looked up at the strong man standing in the air and couldn't help but frown.

"Seventh Lord of the Demon-Subduing Douluo, even he is here!"

Hearing the word "offering", Ning Fengzhi and Yu Xiaogang were suddenly shocked.

They knew that the seven great priests of the Spirit Hall were all extremely powerful, and their soul powers were all above level ninety-five.

Being attacked from the front and back, they might not be able to escape today.

No matter how strong Sword Douluo is, he cannot deal with the siege of five Titled Douluo at the same time.

"Boom~"

Just when Tang San felt hopeless, there was another explosion in the sky.

"Who dares to touch my son?"

Hearing that familiar voice, Tang San was very excited.

"Daddy! My daddy is here!"
