Chapter 139 Yu Yuanzhen's Determination, Qin Xiao Must Die_1
"Your Majesty, this all started with my unfilial daughter, Zhu Zhuqing."
"After leaving the imperial palace that day, I went to search for Zhu Zhuqing in the Tiandou Empire."
"At Blue Tyrant Academy, Zhu Zhuqing had a Titled Douluo-level expert injure me severely. Fortunately, I managed to escape from the clutches of that demon."
The Youming Grand Duke had it all planned out; he could only place the blame on Zhu Zhuqing.
Otherwise, the Youming Clan could never bear the crime of assassinating a prince.
"What, that Titled Douluo named Qin Xiao is really willing to turn against our Xingluo Empire for the sake of Zhu Zhuqing?"
With just a few simple sentences, the Star Luo Emperor had already understood what had happened to the Youming Grand Duke.
He was both shocked and furious.
"What about a Titled Douluo-level expert?"
"He wouldn't naively believe that just because of his Titled Douluo-level cultivation, he could look down on our Xingluo Empire and disregard the majesty of our royal household, could he?"
The Star Luo Emperor spoke coldly, gripping hard with his hands.
The armrests of his throne had already been twisted out of shape.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger."
The Youming Grand Duke hurriedly pleaded.
Of course, apart from asking for calm, he had no other words to say.
"Calm my anger, how can I calm my anger?"
As expected, the Star Luo Emperor was already gasping with rage.
"I cannot accept that someone who murdered an imperial prince could get off scot-free, even if he is a Titled Douluo, he must face punishment!"
The Star Luo Emperor's voice was filled with unmistakable murderous intent.
How should he deal with such a lawless villain?
Without a doubt, he must make the other party pay with their life!
Without Qin Xiao's death, he would find no peace of mind.
"Now tell me exactly what sort of person Qin Xiao is," the Star Luo Emperor asked again after barely stabilizing his agitated emotions.
The Youming Grand Duke thought carefully and then slowly began to speak, "I can't see through Qin Xiao. He appears younger than Prince Davis, but his cultivation is genuinely that of a Titled Douluo. I only lasted a dozen or so rounds against him."
The Youming Grand Duke spoke, not telling the entire truth.
"Only a dozen or so rounds?"
The Star Luo Emperor slightly frowned.
He was aware of the Youming Grand Duke's strength, but to be defeated so quickly by Qin Xiao suggested that Qin Xiao's combat power must be that of a true Titled Douluo, not like the Poison Douluo who, despite the title, is less powerful in direct combat than a Soul Douluo.
"What about his Soul Ring configuration..."
Knowing oneself and the enemy is the sure way to victory in a hundred battles, the Star Luo Emperor wouldn't let go of any opportunity to understand Qin Xiao's strength.
"Soul Ring configuration..."
The Youming Grand Duke's heart skipped a beat. How would I know what configurations that kid has!
However, even if he had to make something up, he had to come up with an answer, otherwise his deception would be exposed instantly.
"The best Soul Ring configuration, two yellow, two purple, five black."
In his mind, such a Soul Ring combination was already the ceiling of the Soul Masters.
Qin Xiao, no matter how strong, couldn't surpass that, could he?
"This person is so arrogant; it seems he does have some capital."
"However, if he thinks he can do whatever he wants with such strength, he's gravely mistaken."
The Star Luo Emperor spoke and suddenly stood up, calling out to the outside of the hall, "Someone come, order all nobles and ministers to enter the palace, the emperor has important matters to discuss."
"Yes!"
An attendant immediately responded from outside the hall.
The Star Luo Emperor then turned his gaze back to Youming Grand Duke, "Someone escort the Duke back to the Duchy Residence."
Clack clack clack.
As the words fell, two Silver Armored Warriors once again entered.
The Youming Grand Duke hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I can still offer advice and strategies for Your Majesty."
The Star Luo Emperor waved his hand, "You have already made a significant contribution to the Empire this time, you've done enough. Now go back and rest well."
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty!"
The Youming Grand Duke bowed deeply.
He also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart; no doubt, this time the Star Luo Emperor wouldn't look for excuses to cause trouble.
His ruse had been successful.
"You may leave."
The Star Luo Emperor waved his hand.
"Your servant takes his leave."
Having said that, the Youming Grand Duke climbed onto the stretcher, letting two Silver Armored Warriors carry him away.
The Star Luo Emperor watched the retreating figures, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as he silently snorted. The old fox was incredibly cunning!
After a long while.
The Star Luo Emperor heard a series of hurried footsteps coming from outside the great hall.
Then, one by one, opulently dressed nobles and armor-clad warriors filed into the great hall.
"Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty."
They knelt on one knee, exceedingly respectful.
"My lords," the Star Luo Emperor's gaze swept over the crowd as he spoke solemnly, "I have urgently summoned you all for one matter."
The entire hall fell silent.
They were all waiting for the Star Luo Emperor to speak next; that was the key point.
"I need your help, my lords, to slay a Titled Douluo-level expert. Does anyone have any objections?"
As the Star Luo Emperor's voice fell, the hall erupted into an uproar.
"What, a Titled Douluo-level expert!"
"This will not be easy to deal with."
"..."
The crowd was abuzz with discussion.
Facing such a formidable expert, they all felt pressure.
"If you all cannot decide, then I shall. I need strong warriors, lots of strong warriors."
"Your Majesty, the Xu family is willing to dispatch a Soul Douluo-level expert," said an elder dressed in luxurious clothing, the first to respond.
The elder, from the Xu family, belonged to the most powerful family in Xingluo City, other than the royal household and the Youming Clan.
