Chapter 172: Ning Fengzhi Was Speechless
"But these three people are now fighting in the east of Tiandou City 300 miles away. Many people have gone to watch the battle. How do you explain it, Master Ning?"
Xue Xing looked at Ning Fengzhi.
At this time, Gu Rong finally came to his senses and said angrily, "Why, do you suspect that we secretly harmed His Majesty?"
"I dare not accept it, but there is only one Titled Douluo like you, Bone Douluo, present. As a prince of the Tiandou Empire and the younger brother of the late emperor, I need Master Ning to give an explanation to the royal family for both public and private reasons."
Xue Xing was intimidated by Gu Rong's momentum, and he also knew that the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect was very powerful and it was not good to force it too much. At least before Lin Hanye, the royal guest worshiper, and Dugu Bo, who was on good terms with him, came back, he could not tear his face with the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
But if he wants to ascend to the throne of emperor, he must find someone to take the blame. Even if it is not the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, he must let the world think it is.
Otherwise, it is hard to guarantee that no one will mistakenly think that he harmed Xue Ye in the future.
After all, he was the one who benefited the most from Xue Ye's death.
In fact, someone had already begun to doubt it.
That person was Ning Fengzhi. He narrowed his eyes and said to Xue Xing, "Before answering Prince Xue Xing's question, can I ask if Prince Xue Xing has already investigated the cause of His Majesty's death?"
Xue Xing was still a little naive after all. Although he was a little clever, he was far less cunning than Ning Fengzhi.
So, he had to look at Ge Long. Ge Long thought for a while and replied.
"I have just checked His Majesty's body. There is no wound on his body, and there is no sign of poisoning. It's like he died suddenly. But if it is as Bone Douluo said just now, if the assassin was found, and His Majesty is in his prime and has always been in good health, the chance of sudden death is very small."
"Could it be that he was infected with some special toxin that cannot be detected? In addition, if some powerful Titled Douluo absorbs the high-age wisdom skull, there is a great possibility that they will obtain spiritual attack skills. His Majesty is very likely to be attacked by the mind and die."
Ning Fengzhi had already blamed Xue Xing for Xue Ye's death.
Otherwise, why would this dude suddenly change so quickly?
And he is likely to have the support of the Spirit Master Guild behind him, as can be seen from his friendship with Dugu Bo.
Perhaps, Lin Hanye wanted to use this method to blame Xue Ye's death on his Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, so he did this.
Why did he choose this day when there were no other days to fight?
It was to create an alibi.
But it was a foregone conclusion. Even if he had more doubts, he would not dare to express them without evidence, let alone offend the Spirit Master Guild and Lin Hanye.
"It's not impossible." Ge Long suggested, "Your Highness, Sect Master Ning, how about this? I'll send someone to invite President Lin and Elder Dugu first."
"President Lin is a powerful existence comparable to the Great Priest of the Spirit Hall and Clear Sky Douluo. He is also a royal guest priest invited back by Your Majesty. He was deeply trusted and respected by Your Majesty during his lifetime.
He is also a unique master of theory. If there is really a spiritual attack, it will not be hidden from President Lin. If it is poisoned, Elder Dugu will check it out."
"Why don't we wait for President Lin and Elder Dugu to come back and check before making a decision? Before that, keep the news secret and no one is allowed to enter or leave the palace."
While speaking, he did not forget to send a message to Xue Xing: "Your Highness, you'd better keep calm for the time being. Regardless of whether His Majesty was harmed by the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect or not, the Imperial Guards alone can never stop Gu Rong, the Titled Douluo."
Saying this can be regarded as a kind of surrender of Ge Long to Xue Xing.
After all, to be able to get to the position of Marshal of the Heaven Dou Empire, in addition to one's own ability, the ability to judge the situation is indispensable.
"Okay, then let's follow Marshal Ge Long's words." Xue Xing nodded.
He was very satisfied with Ge Long's surrender. With the support of Ge Long, the head of the Heaven Dou Empire's army, his throne is almost certain.
If the Soul Master Guild is added, no one will be able to shake it.
"I don't object either."
In fact, even if Ning Fengzhi wanted to object, he couldn't. Now his only hope is that Lin Hanye will die in the battle at Clear Sky Peak.
Without Lin Hanye, even if Xue Xing wanted to attack his Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, he would have to consider whether he could sit firmly on the throne.
On the other hand, when Xue Ye was attacked and killed, Qian Daoliu had already flown to the mountain where Qian Xunji and others were, leaving the battlefield to Lin Hanye and Tang Chen.
Seeing that Lin Hanye wanted to fight Tang Chen first, he did not force him. At most, it would not be too late to fight with him after Tang Chen adjusted his body to the peak.
So.
Qian Daoliu said to the people below, "The aftermath of the battle at the peerless Douluo level is not something that ordinary people can bear. Those below the Titled Douluo level should retreat to the outermost mountain range."
Hearing this, everyone was disappointed, but they did not dare to refute the great worshiper of the Spirit Hall. They all retreated.
In the central area of Clear Sky Peak, Lin Hanye and Tang Chen stood on a mountain top of 100 meters each, standing 100 meters apart.
On the left mountain top, Tang Chen's eyes were firm, his lower body was stable, and his waist was straight, like an upright giant hammer.
On the right mountain top, Lin Hanye looked indifferent and behaved calmly.
"Death God Domain!"
"Frozen Domain!"
The two looked at each other without any nonsense, and at the same time burst out soul power fluctuations unique to the ninety-fifth level and their own domains, and rushed towards the opponent.
The huge soul pressure carried the domain and impacted together, which was something that most people present could not have imagined.
Although Tang Chen's Death God Domain, evolved after cultivating to the ninety-ninth level, was evenly matched with Lin Hanye's Frozen Domain, the soul pressure collapsed at the touch of a button.
Although he suppressed his own cultivation to the ninety-fifth level, the quality and strength of the soul power cultivated at the ninety-ninth level is far from being comparable to that of ordinary level ninety-five Titled Douluo—ninety-sixth level, ninety-seventh level can't compare.
He was confident that he could defeat a ninety-seventh level Titled Douluo with his soul power cultivation suppressed to the ninety-fifth level.
But facing Lin Hanye, he actually felt a deep sense of powerlessness. It seemed that if he didn't use the explosive ring or all his cultivation, he would lose.
"What a great Ice Emperor Douluo! No wonder he was able to stop Bo Saixi for an hour."
When Dugu Bo said that he and Lin Hanye chose their own title, he did not lower his voice, but deliberately used his soul power to spread the voice, and Tang Chen also heard it.
At this moment, he was more certain of the idea of restricting Lin Hanye.
Of course, if he could kill him, it would be even better.
But such hope would undoubtedly be very slim.
Unless his nine rings exploded at the same time and killed Lin Hanye in one blow.
But in this way, he would not be able to defeat Qian Daoliu next.
"Tang Chen is about to take the Shura God Test. In this case, the Death God Domain will not be exposed."
Before this, Lin Hanye had thought about intercepting the Shura God position, but the Shura God position was watched by the Rakshasa God, and he did not want to become a puppet parasitized by the blood-red nine-headed bat king like Tang Chen.
Moreover, he did not trust the Shura God and was unwilling to entrust his fate to a stranger.
Who knows if that guy deliberately let the Rakshasa God do it?
The purpose is to prepare for the future training of a successor who is suitable for his throne.
