Chapter 133: Do you want to seize power? (Please subscribe)_1

The white light dissipated, and when Hulena and Evil Moon regained consciousness, they emerged beneath the sturdy locust tree, as thick as a grown man...

Evil Moon slowly got up from the lawn. Feeling groggy, he gasped in shock when he realized the kill intent he was emitting without even trying, "Hiss... My head is so dizzy! But, is this... the Killing God Field?"

In this domain, he felt that all his attributes were 10% stronger than usual!

And being able to control the kill intent at will also seemed quite thrilling!

Hulena's cold eyes took a glance at Evil Moon and also attempted to gather kill intent. Subsequently, an even more fierce killing intent emerged, rushing forward...

Xu Sheng, who had been waiting by the tree, sensed the murderous aura and crossed his arms, "Awake? It seems that you have obtained the Killing God Field."

He had thought that offending the Asura God would prevent them from being acknowledged, but it appeared that as long as one passed through Hell's Path, one would definitely acquire the Killing God Field!

Hulena nodded, her beautiful eyes scanning the surroundings, "Hmm! But where are we now?"

Evil Moon took a careful look at the trees around them, and frowned, "This should be a forest near the Tiandou Empire!"

He had been here before, but it was with people from the Martial Soul Hall leading the way.

A few hints of surprise crossed Xu Sheng's face as he pondered, "Still near the Tiandou Empire?"

It seemed that the teleportation from Slaughter City couldn't transport them very far, just to a nearby area.

However, this was good, as it presented an opportunity to see how the Tiandou Empire was faring.

Based on the timing, Qian Renxue, who was impersonating Xue Qinghe, should also be busy dealing with becoming the Emperor of the Tiandou Empire.

Seeing Xu Sheng lost in thought and unwittingly smiling, Hulena asked suspiciously, "Xu Sheng, what are you thinking about? You're so engrossed?"

Evil Moon scornfully thought to himself, "Probably thinking about that girl, huh? That creepy smile of his, he's seen too many of them!"

Especially those smiles from other men directed at his own sister, utterly disgusting!

Xu Sheng didn't respond to Hulena's question and said somewhat guiltily, "Let's go to the Tiandou Empire first, it should currently be under the control of the Martial Soul Hall."

The moment he thought of the words Qian Renxue said before he left last time...

The words "Super A" inexplicably popped into his mind.

Hulena hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "I think we better go back to the Pope Hall first, so as not to worry the teacher."

Evil Moon also said seriously, "Xu Sheng, I think we should go back to the Pope Hall first as well."

As for the Tiandou Empire, it would eventually be controlled by the Martial Soul Hall, and going there now would not be of any help.

Xu Sheng hesitated for a moment, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, "Why don't you two go back and tell the teacher first, and I'll go alone to observe the Tiandou Empire for a while and come back soon."

Hulena stared at the oddly behaving Xu Sheng, "Really?"

She had always felt a bit uneasy about Xu Sheng's smile earlier, yet she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Given Xu Sheng's eagerness to go to the Tiandou Empire, Hulena increasingly felt that he was hiding something from her and Evil Moon.

Xu Sheng smiled and said softly, "Hmm, isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Evil Moon's gaze turned towards Hulena, seeking her opinion, "Nana, what do you think? I don't think this suggestion is bad!"

A sly glint appeared in Hulena's eyes as she said indifferently, "Then let's go together. I'm not very familiar with the situation of the Tiandou Empire myself."

If Xu Sheng showed disappointment, it would prove that he was definitely hiding something, and that it was something he didn't want the two of them to know.

As expected, a hint of disappointment flickered across Xu Sheng's cheeks but vanished in the next instant...

Then he put on an indifferent smile and said, "That's fine! Let's go together then."

Hulena, having confirmed her suspicions were correct, curved her lips in triumph, "Just as I thought! Lucky I wasn't fooled by Xu Sheng!"

Evil Moon, oblivious to the awkward situation, said earnestly, "Then let's go. From here to the Tiandou Empire, we should head straight south!"

Xu Sheng nodded reluctantly, "Alright... let's go then."

I always have a feeling that this trip won't be peaceful, but since Hulena and Qian Renxue are both from Martial Soul Hall, nothing should happen, right?

...

Afterward, with Evil Moon leading the way, the three of them quickly arrived in front of the gates of Tiandou City!

Perhaps due to Xue Ye's sudden death, the entire Tiandou Empire seemed a bit chaotic, resulting in a scarce number of guards at the city gate, only two to be precise!

And these two guards appeared extremely lackluster, casually sizing up the people entering the city!

Even for the conspicuously visible Xu Sheng and his companions, they had no intention of inspecting them...

So, they very easily made their way into Tiandou City...

Hulena swept her gaze over the surrounding scenery, calmly stating, "So this is Tiandou City? It doesn't seem much different from Soto City! But it indeed appears to be more prosperous."

Evil Moon wiped his forehead and said with an awkward smile, "Nana, all cities are more or less the same, there's not much to see here, right?"

Xu Sheng speculated, "Although the Tiandou Empire seems very loose overall, the Tian Dou Imperial Family must be on high alert, especially since they have to re-elect a leader for the entire Tiandou Empire!"

Otherwise, if the newly elected emperor were assassinated right after taking the throne, wouldn't that be a joke?

However, at this moment, no one would probably do such a thing, not only would it deal a huge blow to the Tiandou Empire but also cause significant harm to the Xingluo Empire.

Evil Moon raised his eyebrows. Xu Sheng had said that the royal household was on high alert, so should they still go?

He voiced his doubt, "Then Xu Sheng, should we still go?"

Xu Sheng glanced at him, "Go! Why shouldn't we?"

All those so-called precautions are just for the weak. It would be quite simple for any Soul Sage or a higher-level expert to infiltrate if they wanted to.

...

Then, relying on his previous experience entering the imperial palace, Xu Sheng led Evil Moon and the other person effortlessly into the Tiandou Empire Palace...

At this moment, in the Imperial Palace Great Hall, several figures were seated.

Xue Xing, Du Gu Bo, Xue Qinghe, Xue Beng, as well as several other members of the Tian Dou Imperial Family!

Xue Xing's gaze was ice-cold as he stared at Xue Qinghe, "Crown Prince, don't you think that to command the Tiandou Empire, the position should be held by someone with ample experience?"

Now that Xue Ye was gone, his ambitions were gradually surfacing...

As for Xue Qinghe, necessary measures could be taken if need be!

Xue Qinghe replied with a faint smile, appearing puzzled, "Oh? Since Prince Xue Xing put it that way, I assume you already have someone in mind?"

Xue Xing's face contorted as if he had swallowed a bitter pill, and he stammered, "This..."

Unable to articulate his thoughts, he hastily started winking at other members of the royal household...

Seeing the scene, Du Gu Bo sighed inwardly...

But it was alright, this was the last thing he had agreed to do for Xue Xing.

Receiving the cues, the other royal family members quickly understood, and a middle-aged man spoke up first, "I believe Prince Xue Xing is highly suitable to be the next Emperor of the Tiandou Empire!"

"I second the motion! I also believe Prince Xue Xing has the qualifications to take on the role!"

"I, too, think Prince Xue Ye is suitable for the position!"

Xue Qinghe, seeing so many members of the royal household supporting Xue Xing, realized they must have already discussed this.

Then he turned his gaze to Xue Beng, speaking courteously, "Oh? Fourth brother, what about you?"

Xue Beng's face showed timidity as he lowered his head, "I... I think, uncle... would be quite suitable."

Xue Qinghe's expression suddenly turned icy as he spoke with a chilling tone, "So what you're saying, Prince Xue Xing, is that you intend to usurp power?"
