Chapter 172 News from the Prince's Mansion Xiao Yi returned to Tiandou City. The time they spent hunting souls this time was very short, very short, and it was also very smooth. Who knew that those two licking beasts would get right at their faces, and they were beaten head-on. It took less than ten minutes to hunt down the two licking beasts. They were bombarded by the combined eight or nine soul skills of the five Titled Douluo, who severely injured them. In the end, Xiao Yi and Dugu Yan had to finish the job. During the soul hunting process, half of the time was spent on traveling, and the other half was spent on absorbing soul rings. At this moment, Xiao Yi wanted to ask, "Who else?" As soon as Xiao Yi returned to Tiandou City, he was told by people from the Prince's Mansion that the Prince wanted to see him about something. Now that Tiandou City is completely in the hands of his own people, any slight movement can be quickly known. He would like to see what happened that made them come to him. Xiao Yi came back this time to get some health-preserving herbs from the medicine garden, but since it was an emergency, he had to let Dugu Yan go. As for the other Titled Douluo, they had already returned to the Spirit Hall. Before leaving, they were asked to go to the Spirit Hall early to accompany Qian Renxue. Xiao Yi naturally agreed, but because of the divine test and the hidden dangers of Tang Dachui and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Xiao Yi planned to resolve them before going to the Spirit Hall. "Grandpa, I will go to the Prince's Mansion first. You and Yanzi should go home and wait for me after going to the medicine garden. There may be something." Xiao Yi said. Dugu Bo nodded lightly, indicating that Xiao Yi should do his work first.
After Xiao Yi got Dugu Bo's reply, he went directly to the Prince's Mansion. Xiao Yi entered the Prince's Mansion very smoothly. No one dared to stop him. Who in Tiandou City didn't know that Xiao Yi was the Prince's friend, the youngest and most talented soul master on the continent. Becoming the Prince's man directly made the Prince's position more stable. Ever since Xue Qinghe had a child, Emperor Xue Ye became less suspicious of him and pretended not to know that Xue Qinghe had poisoned his two brothers, because he had become emperor in a similar way. Being an emperor requires iron-blooded methods. The only pity is that the prince's talent for cultivation is not high. He is only a Soul Master in his twenties. However, Emperor Xue Ye has also met the crown princess. Well, she is a little old, in her thirties, but his son likes her. In his thirties, his soul power level has reached the Soul Saint level. As long as nothing unexpected happens, the prince will have an extremely high talent for cultivation. It was precisely because the crown prince had a successor that Emperor Xue Ye felt confident in gradually passing power to Xue Qinghe. As for Xue Beng, well, it was a very miserable thing. When he was pretending to be a dandy, he offended a Soul Douluo master, who beat him and left him half-paralyzed. The Soul Douluo expert might have been "afraid" of the strength of the Tiandou Empire and did not kill him, but the strong should not be humiliated, and not killing the prince was not an embarrassment to the royal family. Besides, it was the prince who started the trouble and was not in the right. This time Xue Qinghe's status has risen again. Before the soul hunting, Xiao Yi heard Dugu Bo talk about it. Emperor Xue Ye once sought him privately to discuss state affairs. Emperor Xue Ye wanted to abdicate. His health was getting worse day by day. Emperor Xue Ye suspected that he was poisoned. Of course he was poisoned. Dugu Bo said it directly and said that he would detoxify Emperor Xue Ye. In fact, Dugu Bo had known for a long time that Emperor Xue Ye was poisoned. The poison was the forbidden poison "Seven Colors" of the Po Yi Clan. Dugu Bo certainly knew how to detoxify, but would it be of any benefit to him? No! Prince Xuexing had already repaid him for what he had done, and he was already a worshiper of the Spirit Hall. Now that he has officially joined a force, of course he has to do something. On the surface, Dugu Bo is detoxifying, and Emperor Xue Ye's health seems to be getting better day by day, even as strong as a dragon. He indulges himself in the harem every night and is not tired of handling state affairs the next day. Emperor Xue Ye was so happy that he gave Dugu Bo a ten thousand year soul bone as a thank you. However, Dugu Bo refused to take it. Instead, he listened to Xiao Yi and took the Vast Sea Universe Cover. When Emperor Xue Ye heard that Dugu Bo wanted the Vast Sea Universe Cover, he was paralyzed. That was the national treasure of the Tiandou Empire, passed down for generations. How could he give it away so easily? However, Dugu Bo "saved" his life, and he didn't know how to use it, so he could only use it as an ornament. In the end, he gave the Vast Sea Universe Cover to Dugu Bo. Did Dugu Bo really save Emperor Xue Ye? Of course not. The medicine Dugu Bo gave Emperor Xue Ye prevented the poison from corroding on the surface, making Emperor Xue Ye feel better day by day. In fact, the body of Emperor Xue Ye was already riddled with holes, but he still felt vigorous? That was at the cost of his life. If Emperor Xue Ye continued to indulge in lust like this, he would probably die suddenly within two years. The cause of death was excessive indulgence. This was the cleverness of the Pozhi clan's use of poison. Except for Dugu Bo, Yang Wudi, and a little punk, no one else could tell that it was caused by poisoning. Are there not many emperors who died from excessive indulgence? This is a normal phenomenon. As long as Xue Ye dies, the substitute can ascend the throne. At that time, the Tiandou Empire will be in the hands of the Wuhun Hall. Slowly kill the nobles in the Tiandou Empire. After all, in the small places of the Tiandou Empire, the reputation of the Spirit Hall is far higher than that of the empire. Nearly half of the territory of the Tiandou Empire has fallen into the hands of the substitute. But the message conveyed to the royal family is still that the country is peaceful and the people are prosperous. Xiao Yi went straight into the study of the Prince's Mansion, where his substitute happened to be diligently handling government affairs.
"Tell me, what's the matter with calling me here?" After Xiao Yi entered the study, he went straight to the point. Hearing Xiao Yi's words, the stand-in stopped what he was doing, turned around and respectfully saluted Xiao Yi and said, "Your Highness, the Holy Son, this is why I asked you to come here. A few days ago..." The stand-in blabbered about the news that Anzi had left Shrek for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect a few days ago, and that there was also a gray-robed man and a young man. It seemed that they had something to deal with. Moreover, according to the spies in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the gray-robed man was called Tang Hao, and his purpose of going to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was to join forces with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to deal with Xiao Yi. "You mean, Tang Hao and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect are working together to attack me, and they also want to get the secret of my leapfrog spirit ring absorption and the spirit bones in my body?" Xiao Yi spoke after hearing what the stand-in said. "Yes, Your Highness." The stand-in said respectfully. "Okay, get up." Xiao Yi said to the stand-in who was kneeling on one knee. Although he has lived in this world for more than ten years, he is still not used to such respect. Then Xiao Yi began to think about how to deal with this matter. When Xiao Yi went to hunt for soul rings, he thought of the fact that Tang Dachui would come back. By then he would know that what he had done would definitely be instigated by Yu Xiaogang. At that time, he was still thinking about whether to take the initiative or wait for them to come to him. However, he didn't even do anything, and they were already wanting to attack him. But this is good news. Now he has to consider who will take the initiative first. (End of this chapter)
