Chapter 3275_1
Xue Ye's expression clearly became displeased as he asked, "The fourth prince is cruel-hearted? Poison Douluo, even you cannot defame him out of thin air like this?"
If the fourth prince was really like this, why hadn't he heard any information conveyed by anyone?
Du Gu Bo wanted to say something, but Xue Xing stopped him...
With a calm expression, he answered, "Regarding this matter, Poison Douluo is not talking nonsense. If elder brother had paid a bit more attention to the fourth prince, you would inevitably have discovered some clues!"
Speaking of which, he personally believed that the assassination of this fourth prince was not necessarily a bad thing!
But it concerned royal dignity—it was imperative to pursue the assassin!!
This statement even made Xue Ye waver somewhat...
He immediately turned his gaze toward the soldier he had kicked out earlier and coldly demanded, "Still playing dead? Speak carefully, is the situation really like this?"
The latter did not dare to raise his head, and spoke in a low voice, "Replying to... Your Majesty the Emperor, indeed, the fourth prince's reputation is quite poor; the mere mention of his name causes people to turn pale with fright!"
Xue Ye continued to question, "If such cases exist, why did you not report them to me?"
The soldier immediately knelt on the ground, fearfully and apprehensively saying, "Your Majesty the Emperor, forgive me, the fourth prince said that whoever dares to inform you of this matter would suffer a painful retaliation!!"
"We... We had no choice but to conceal this matter!"
After hearing this, Xue Ye angrily sat down on the throne, "Very well, very well indeed, I never thought that my child, Xue Ye, would turn out to be such a disgrace!!"
As the emperor, he naturally knew that the princes would definitely employ some secretive methods to vie for the imperial throne!
To prevent these situations, that's why he had designated Qing He as the Crown Prince!
But who would have thought, how old is this fourth one? His nature is already so vicious!
Wouldn't he dare to lay a hand on his own father once he's grown!?
No wonder the Soul Masters assigned to protect him would do such a thing!
After he calmed down a bit, Xue Xing spoke again, "Elder brother, then about the murderer, should we continue the investigation??"
Chao Tianxiang, trembling, stood up with the support of her Snake Staff, her face grim as she said, "Old man, what should we do now? Our Martial Soul Fusion Skill has been shattered, and we've completely run out of Soul Power!"
Without Soul Power, a Soul Master's strength will plummet dramatically!
Not to mention the opponent is a creature with such formidable physical strength!!
Meng Shu took a deep breath and said to her, "Are you afraid of death??"
Chao Tianxiang's eyes did not waver in the slightest, "Not afraid. I made my peace with dying once I sent Rang Yiran and the others away!"
No one is unafraid of death, but having managed to save their granddaughter Meng Yiran before this, they were satisfied!!
With that answer, Meng Shu straightened his chest and stared directly at the abyssal creature in front of him that was hundreds of times larger...
"Good, since you're not afraid of dying, let's go all out against this creature!!"
Chao Tianxiang, too, was infected by this sentiment and stepped alongside him...
"All right, let's go all out against this creature, even if we die, let's bite off a piece of it to show we're not to be trifled with!"
Having said that, they released the last bit of their Soul Power and leapt up without hesitation, charging straight toward the abyssal creature...
However, the abyssal creature was not concerned at all...
"Hmph, a desperate counterattack? But you, who have run out of Soul Power, are simply not my match!"
"Enough, I'll send you to Hell!!"
Having said that, it raised its thick arms towards the sky and swung down towards Meng Shu and the other...
Upon collision, a "whoosh" was heard as Meng Shu and the other were hit without any resistance, shot out hundreds of meters before crashing to the ground, falling into a dead faint...
Seeing their breaths weakening, the abyssal creature licked its lips, "Hmph, is it over just like that?"
Having said that, he was about to revert to human form...
However, the space suddenly echoed with an icy voice...
"To knock the World-covering Dragon Snake unconscious, it seems you, this abyssal creature, are indeed more powerful than I imagined,"
The former's massive body trembled slightly as it slowly turned around...
As if to confirm Hulena's words, Dugu Yan's gaze also locked onto Xu Sheng in an instant...
Even without a mask, she could recognize him with just a glance!!
She immediately quickened her pace, striding toward him furiously...
But to Flame, this action had a different meaning...
"Damn, judging by her attitude, this girl is coming at Xu Sheng again. Really annoying!!"
Evil Moon silently smacked his lips, unsure of what to say...
Xu Sheng was indeed handsome and strong, but he was only about seven or eight years old. Could his personal charm be that exaggerated?
Even the granddaughter of Poison Douluo was attracted!
However, it was still better this way; the threat of Poison Douluo to the Martial Soul Hall was probably not as great as that of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!
After stopping, Dugu Yan stared at Xu Sheng viciously and enunciated each word, "Xu Sheng, I have finally found you!!"
But before the latter could speak, Hulena took the initiative to say, "You must be the granddaughter of Poison Douluo, Dugu Yan, right?"
"What are you doing here?"
The interrupted Dugu Yan also turned her gaze to Hulena, frowning, "I'm talking to this guy. Who are you??"
This woman was somehow particularly irritating!
Hulena stood up straight, "I am the goddess of Martial Soul Hall, Hulena, and also a member of the Golden Generation!!"
She sought to intimidate the other party with her identity!
Dugu Yan, however, was not the least bit intimidated; she said expressionlessly, "Hulena? Goddess of Martial Soul Hall? Sorry, I don't know you!"
Though not intentional, one could detect a hint of contempt in her words...
Hulena grew angry, "What did you say??"
With that, she directly released her Martial Soul, the Demon Fox!
Two Soul Rings appeared beneath her feet...
Dugu Yan snorted coldly, unafraid, "Looking for a fight? Although it wasn't my intention, it seems like a good opportunity to see what the highly praised Spirit Hall Golden Generation is really made of!"
She too released her Martial Soul, the Green Phosphorus Snake!
But she had only one Soul Ring...
Seeing this, Evil Moon and Flame also stepped forward, ready to intervene...
But Hulena stopped them, "Brother, Flame, you don't need to help; she's no match for me!"
The opponent only had one Soul Ring, in terms of Soul Power
Yueguan interrupted with a loud voice, "Old poison, what else do you have to say for yourself?"
The facts were right there; he did not believe the other party had any excuses left!
Du Gu Bo turned around, glaring at him fiercely, and through gritted teeth said, "Chrysanthemum Guan, you win!"
After all, he was the renowned Poison Douluo; he was not someone to break his word!
Seeing that the other party wasn't planning to renege, Yueguan licked his lips and said, "Well then, why don't you call me Elder Ju and let's hear it?"
