147: Hidden weapon? Bloody Guanyin Tears?
Two or three days passed, and Young Master Qian Feng was somewhat surprised that there was no movement from the Tiandou Royal Family.
During this period, he also sent Dugu Bo to inquire and understand Emperor Xue Ye's concerns, which was why he had been unwilling to hand over military power for so long.
As night fell, inside the room, Young Master Qian Feng and Dugu Bo stood side by side, gazing at the scenery outside the window.
"In this old man's opinion, what Xue Ye is worried about should be those Crown Princes. He is already old and should abdicate in a few years, although Crown Prince Xue Qinghe is in power," Dugu Bo stroked his beard, shook his head, and sighed.
"The three, Xue Beng, have improved their Soul Power and also have secret Soul Masters under them, which has actually put them in opposition to Xue Qinghe."
"I estimate that Xue Ye wants to use your hand, Young Master, to resolve the royal family's troubles, and only then will he willingly hand over the military power."
Young Master Qian Feng nodded. He had learned about the situation in the past two days and had basically guessed Xue Ye's plan. Now, combining it with Dugu Bo's information,
he naturally knew how to proceed.
"Dugu Bo, arrange for the three, Xue Beng, to come to this hotel once. I will host a banquet and reason with them," Young Master Qian Feng pursed his lips into a smile and turned his head to look at Dugu Bo.
"Uh, Young Master. You're hosting a banquet for them? Hehe, it's best not to kill them. Currently, these few, Xue Beng, haven't done anything that would cause widespread anger."
"Don't worry, I have my plan and know how to arrange it," Young Master Qian Feng patted Dugu Bo's shoulder and replied with a light laugh.
Days passed quickly. The next day at noon, inside the hotel.
Young Master Qian Feng temporarily let Qian Renxue leave. Inside the entire third-floor reception hall, he sat cross-legged in the main seat, waiting for the arrivals.
A moment later, Crown Prince Xue Beng entered along with the second and third Crown Princes, followed by several Soul Douluo.
Xue Beng stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Young Master Qian Feng, may I ask why you have set up a banquet to invite us?"
He spoke with a frown. The two Crown Princes behind him lowered their heads, adopting a humble posture, indicating that Xue Beng was the leader.
"Sit," Young Master Qian Feng's expression was calm. He poured himself a cup of tea and spoke with the posture of someone in a superior position.
Xue Beng raised his eyebrows and sat down on one side. The second and third Crown Princes sat in order, with several Soul Douluo lined up behind them.
"I know what you're planning. It is only right for Crown Prince Xue Qinghe to take over the Heaven Dou Empire," Young Master Qian Feng chuckled, speaking very directly.
The few, Xue Beng, lowered their heads, their thoughts inscrutable.
Young Master Qian Feng hosted the few, naturally not just for this matter. After taking a sip of tea, he calmly inquired,
"Also, the Blood Serpent secret technique that Tang San and Tang Hao gave you, while it hasn't been fully activated yet. I will use Golden Lightning to remove it for you. Although there will be a great loss of Soul Power, however..."
Young Master Qian Feng glanced at the few and said word by word, "Being able to keep your lives and still enjoy the luxurious life of a Crown Prince is already quite good."
"I... I don't know the Tang San and Tang Hao that Young Master Qian Feng mentioned, nor do I know any Blood Serpent secret technique," Xue Beng tightly clenched the teacup, answering with his head lowered.
"Hehe, Xue Beng. This Young Master is giving you a way out, not letting you try to fool your way through this. I am informing you, understand?" Young Master Qian Feng stood up and slowly walked towards everyone. The eight Soul Rings beneath his feet also floated up, and his level 97 Soul Power pressed down on Xue Beng and the others like a towering mountain.
The few's breathing became slightly rapid, their bodies trembled, and they lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at him.
"Young Master Qian Feng... We, we promise you, we are willing to accept the Golden Lightning baptism. But we are not the only ones who used the Blood Serpent secret technique. How about I notify everyone and wait for you to deal with it together?" Xue Beng raised his head, a little sweat on his forehead.
Facing the young man who was even younger than himself, he felt a sense of fear.
Young Master Qian Feng nodded and patted Xue Beng's shoulder, saying, "That's a good idea. Gather them as soon as possible."
"Understood, understood!" Xue Beng nodded frantically like pounding garlic, and quickly left with the others.
Young Master Qian Feng closed his eyes and let out a turbid breath.
It seemed the trip to the Heaven Dou Empire was indeed much easier. Now only the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was holed up, and dealing with them wouldn't be too troublesome.
As night fell, Young Master Qian Feng was once again invited by Emperor Xue Ye. He entered the palace and was led by a servant to the Emperor's bedchamber.
What surprised him somewhat was that Princess Xue Ke was also there.
"Hehe, I noticed the movements of the few, Xue Beng, today. It seems Young Master Qian Feng has helped me resolve the trouble in my family," Emperor Xue Ye chuckled and patted Princess Xue Ke's back.
The latter immediately stepped forward a few steps, examined Young Master Qian Feng, and smiled, "How was my dance the other day?~"
"Very beautiful. Princess Xue Ke's dancing skills are exquisite," Young Master Qian Feng's actions were proper and generous, yet also carried a hint of dominance and strength.
Young girls were most impressed by this. After being praised, she immediately covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "If you like it, I can dance for you alone tonight~"
"Cough cough..." Young Master Qian Feng raised his eyebrows, did not answer directly, and looked at Emperor Xue Ye, asking, "Emperor, things are almost handled now. What about the military power of the Heaven Dou Empire?"
"Hehe, how about two days later? At that time, I will abdicate to Xue Qinghe, and the military power will also be handed over to you."
"Well, it's not bad to wait these two days," Young Master Qian Feng nodded in satisfaction. As he was about to turn and leave, he was stopped by Emperor Xue Ye.
"Qian Feng... This Emperor doesn't like to beat around the bush either. If you are willing to marry Xue Ke, I can give you the position of Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire. At that time, it won't just be military power, everything in the Heaven Dou Empire will belong to your Spirit Hall!"
"This Emperor will use a nation as Xue Ke's dowry, are you satisfied?" Emperor Xue Ye chuckled. He clearly saw the current situation in the world; the Spirit Hall unifying the Continent was basically a done deal.
If they could form a marriage alliance with the Young Master of the Spirit Hall, the resources they would gain in the future would undoubtedly far exceed becoming a subordinate nation.
"Oh my!" Princess Xue Ke exclaimed shyly, turned her head to look at Young Master Qian Feng, did not refuse, but just bit her lower lip.
The little deer in the young girl's heart was bumping around wildly; she could hear her own heartbeat.
Her face was probably flushed up to her ears, right?
"This..." Young Master Qian Feng's face showed bitterness, and he sighed, cupping his hands towards Emperor Xue Ye and Princess Xue Ke in response, "I apologize, Qian Feng already has someone he loves in his heart. Princess Xue Ke's appearance is outstanding, and her talents are unparalleled; she will surely meet a better man. If there is no mutual affection, how can we lightly discuss marriage?"
Young Master Qian Feng still had some of the integrity from his hometown in his bones; marriage was always a very serious matter.
What he disliked the most was Emperor Xue Ye's method of using his own Princess as a bargaining chip.
That's why he simply refused decisively.
"Hehe~ Alright, alright. Since Young Master Qian Feng has made up his mind, this Emperor will not say anything more. In two or three days, I will hand over the military power to you," Emperor Xue Ye shook his head, no longer making other plans, just waiting to safely hand over the military power.
Princess Xue Ke lowered her head, her eyes filled with disappointment and dejection.
Young Master Qian Feng was also helpless about this, thanked him again, and quickly slipped away.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but in the secret chamber of Xue Beng's residence.
The three Crown Princes looked at each other, their eyes bloodshot.
"Fourth Brother, can the hidden weapon Tang San gave us really assassinate Young Master Qian Feng with a sneak attack? He's a level 97 Peak Douluo!" The third Crown Prince gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with fear.
"If we fail, our lives will likely be..."
Xue Beng held up a hidden weapon with his Soul Power in both hands. From the outside, this thing looked like a drop of blood-red tear, but the oppressive force contained within it made his breathing rapid:
"Hmph, trust Tang San. He said his way of Hidden Weapons had a breakthrough. He created this Blood Guanyin Tear, which Tang San reportedly refined from tens of thousands of Soul Masters from Slaughter City."
"Tsk tsk, such terrifying methods are truly unheard of on the Douluo Continent! Hehe~ But Qian Feng is extremely cautious. We need to design this step by step to ensure absolute certainty~"
"Fourth Brother, we finally have a chance to enter the Titled Douluo realm. We cannot let Qian Feng destroy it..."
"I understand," Xue Beng took a deep breath, the deep killing intent in his eyes sending a chill down the spines of the two beside him.
