Chapter 314: Waiting, Aftermath, and Patricide
With Dugu Bo's reassurance, Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan finally felt a little relieved.
"Then, Old Ye, what should we do next?!"
Dugu Bo looked at Ye Qian and asked.
"My suggestion is to stay put and respond to all changes with no changes. With your strength, I believe they won't be foolish enough to casually attack you. Therefore, we just need to wait…"
"Wait for what?!"
"Wait for them to return… I believe they will definitely return…"
Listening to Ye Qian's plan, Dugu Bo nodded slightly.
Then he spoke with a solemn tone.
"Alright then, if that's the case, I'll take you all away from here first. It's no longer safe here. I'll take you to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well! There are multiple poison arrays I've set up there, and even high-level Soul Beast guardians, so it will be much safer than staying here…"
Dugu Bo himself was naturally not afraid of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's encirclement and annihilation.
But Old Ye and the others couldn't handle it.
Therefore, it was best to send them away quickly…
After finalizing the plan, Dugu Bo originally intended to take them away at night.
However, he was stopped by Ye Qian.
"No, that won't do. If we're going to leave, we should leave now. If their battle plan truly failed, they must be conducting a post-battle review right now, so they definitely have no time to concern themselves with our whereabouts. If we wait until night, until their informants have re-converged, then even if we leave, we will still be under their surveillance. Therefore, it's better not to leave at all."
Listening to Ye Qian's suggestion, Dugu Bo nodded slightly.
Then he immediately ordered his people to pack their luggage and quickly took them away from Dugu Mansion.
And just as Ye Qian expected, within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot when he learned that his good disciple had been heavily injured and taken away from Heaven Dou City by two Titled Douluo, successfully escaping.
He hadn't expected that his disciple, who used to confide everything in him, actually had two such powerful trump cards hidden away.
He knew absolutely nothing about those two unfamiliar Titled Douluo…
And similar to the low pressure within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Imperial Palace was also in a similar state.
Xue Beng sat on the throne.
Looking at the mess on the ground.
His expression was also incredibly gloomy.
"Uncle, how is it?!"
When Xue Beng saw Xue Xing walk in, his expression instantly changed, and he immediately asked with anticipation.
As for Xue Beng's anxious inquiry, Xue Xing shook his head.
Seeing his uncle shake his head, Xue Beng's expression couldn't help but become even more dejected.
It failed, it really, truly failed…
Two Titled Douluo, plus the talismans in Xue Qinghe's hand whose attack power was comparable to a Spirit Emperor.
Yet Xue Qinghe still managed to break free from their encirclement and successfully escape from the Imperial Palace…
"Hehe, truly worthy of being second brother. To be able to hide two Titled Douluo from everyone… Haha!!!!"
Xue Beng looked at the corpses of the three Soul Saints and three Soul Douluo not far away.
His face grew increasingly despairing.
With the help of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they had prepared for half a year, but in the end, it still failed…
Xue Xing looked at Xue Beng's collapsing expression, and a complex thought flashed through his mind.
Finally, after a quick deliberation, Xue Xing spoke with a solemn tone.
"Xue Beng, things have come to this. You must immediately ascend the throne, then issue a nationwide warrant for Xue Qinghe as a traitor, and at the same time, have Sun Yu return to the city as soon as possible. We cannot let Sun Yu and Xue Qinghe meet, otherwise, by then, it will be a case of the mountains being high and the Emperor being far away, and we won't be able to control them!!"
Listening to Xue Xing's suggestion, a look of madness appeared on Xue Beng's face as he spoke.
"Good, Uncle, then I'll trouble you to draft the warrant for Xue Qinghe and the recall order for Sun Yu to return as soon as possible. Also, send a message to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, telling them to immediately send people to control Sun Yu once he returns. As long as Sun Yu is controlled, Dugu Bo won't dare to act rashly…"
Xue Xing looked at Xue Beng, who was now showing a hint of a hegemon's aura, and a look of relief and satisfaction flashed across his old and tired face.
Then he quickly left the palace.
At the same time, he sent people to clean up the battlefield…
Not long after, in just an hour, a soldier in armor, holding a golden token, quickly rode his horse towards the border.
And every hour thereafter, a soldier in armor, holding a golden token, would quickly ride his horse towards the border.
This continued until the twelfth hour, when it finally ended.
And just as the people in Heaven Dou City were surprised and confused by this sight.
The next day, when news spread from the Imperial Palace that Emperor Xue Ye had died from poison and Xue Beng had succeeded him as Emperor, everyone was stunned.
Emperor Xue Ye died!?
Xue Beng succeeded to the throne, becoming the new Emperor of the Empire?!
These two pieces of news quickly impacted the hearts of everyone in Heaven Dou City.
At the same time, besides their shock, they also felt extremely confused.
Emperor Xue Ye died, shouldn't Crown Prince Xue Qinghe inherit the throne as per normal procedure?!
How could it be Xue Beng's turn?!
However, just as everyone was shocked by this, a notice regarding Crown Prince Xue Qinghe poisoning Emperor Xue Ye, along with a nationwide warrant for Xue Qinghe, followed closely from within the Imperial Palace.
Upon seeing this warrant, everyone in the Imperial City was even more shocked to their core.
Crown Prince poisoned Emperor Xue Ye?!
Why!?
Why would he do such a thing!?
Wasn't the throne going to be his sooner or later!?
Why would he need to do this!?
Clearly, for such a baseless warrant and notice.
Anyone with a bit of sense would not choose to believe or take sides.
Therefore, a saying that Xue Beng was the one who usurped the throne began to circulate among the common people.
After all, Xue Beng's reputation was notoriously bad and dissolute throughout Heaven Dou City.
It was truly very difficult to make people believe the statements he issued.
However, although people were not very convinced by this claim.
But when Ning Fengzhi, who was Crown Prince Xue Qinghe's teacher, did not express any opinion on this matter.
Everyone immediately fell into a state of hesitation again.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was deeply bound to the Crown Prince.
Yet, even now, they had not expressed any opinion or statement regarding the Crown Prince's warrant.
This made it not difficult to suspect if there was something fishy going on.
For a time, given the ambiguous attitude of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
They actually chose to believe that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe poisoned Emperor Xue Ye…
On the other side, within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which was currently the focus of everyone's attention.
Through their informants, they learned that Dugu Bo and his group had already disappeared.
They also felt a sense of difficulty and confusion.
He hadn't expected Dugu Bo to be so decisive, taking his people away from Heaven Dou City without a word.
"Fengzhi, should we respond to the outside rumors?"
Gu Rong looked at the inquiry booklet from who knows which nobleman that had been passed up to him.
He asked with a solemn expression.
