"Yes, Father."
Xue Qinghe already had some guesses as to why his father had summoned him.
When he picked up the items on the table to examine them, he basically confirmed his suspicions.
"Blue Silver City."
"Spirit Hall."
It seems that fellow Xue Beng still hasn't given up.
After reading the heavy news, Xue Qinghe finally raised his head.
He already had a judgment in his heart.
"What are your thoughts?"
Emperor Xue Ye looked towards him.
He looked at this Crown Prince, whom he hadn't been entirely satisfied with previously, but for whom he had no other alternative.
He hoped his son could offer an idea that would satisfy him slightly.
"It's actually good that my Fourth Brother has this idea. Compared to running wild in Heaven Dou City before, he has improved greatly, and he has grown up."
"However, the timing is not very good right now. Spirit Hall won't just let Blue Silver City go."
Xue Qinghe spoke with the appearance of someone who had seriously considered the matter.
"Is Father worried about Spirit Hall?"
Seeing Emperor Xue Ye remain silent, he added.
These words displeased Emperor Xue Ye, but he didn't criticize him on this matter.
His son was just sometimes too outspoken. "Spirit Hall. Who on this continent doesn't fear them?"
Facing his heir, he slightly revealed some of his inner feelings.
"Spirit Hall is indeed strong, but they cannot afford to antagonize all major powers. From what we know now, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan are interested in cooperating with Blue Silver City."
"Furthermore, there are our two Empires. The other party is considered a Prince of our Empire, so we cannot let Spirit Hall easily destroy them, can we?"
"I actually think this is an opportunity, and it's also a good chance for Xue Beng to prove himself."
"Let him negotiate cooperation with Blue Silver City. If necessary, our Heaven Dou Empire can support him."
Xue Qinghe maintained a serious appearance, but in reality, he already viewed Xue Beng as a dead man.
Since he wants to grow, he should also know the dangers of growth.
When the time comes, he will let the people from Spirit Hall kill him.
He won't have to reveal anything, and a small nuisance will be dealt with.
"Indeed..."
Emperor Xue Ye tapped the table.
He had actually considered a similar plan.
It was just that doing so would further offend Spirit Hall.
Moreover, that Blue Silver King was an uncontrollable existence in himself.
If Blue Silver City kept expanding, would it become a third Empire?
Or even squeeze their life space and invade them.
This was what truly worried him.
"Spirit Hall has always been high and mighty. Now there is a direct opponent to cause them some trouble. Regardless of the outcome, it is an opportunity."
"Father can discuss this with Teacher when the time comes."
Xue Qinghe watched as his father wavered.
He decided to push the boat along the current; if problems arose, it would be someone else's responsibility.
"..."
"I will consider it."
Emperor Xue Ye didn't decide immediately, but he didn't hesitate for long either.
After discussing for another half day, the executive order was finally issued.
It was essentially an instruction for Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng.
Especially when he thought about the conflict between Blue Silver City and the Star Luo Empire that had yet to be resolved.
This urged him to finalize the matter.
When this news reached Prince Xue Xing and the others in Blue Silver City, it allowed them to breathe a sigh of relief.
With the support of the Heaven Dou Empire, their words carried much more weight.
At the very least, they were genuinely optimistic about Blue Silver City.
Perhaps the other party couldn't compare to Spirit Hall, but they wouldn't be destroyed quickly either.
Making friends had no disadvantages.
The worst-case scenario was running back to the Heaven Dou Empire.
Could Spirit Hall really be shameless enough to chase them back there?
While the Heaven Dou Empire was taking action, two crimson figures flew through the air, their speed far surpassing that of an ordinary Titled Douluo.
On the steep and rugged mountain peaks, the continent-renowned Clear Sky Sect was hidden.
Tang Chen and the God of Slaughter landed one after another. Although he hadn't returned for a long time, he was still very familiar with the mountain gate.
At this moment, Tang Chen had completely suppressed the Nine Headed Bloody Crimson Bat King, and his consciousness had recovered. However, due to years of torture, he lacked a lot of life force.
His spirit power, supported by the Asura God, was close to level 100, essentially an existence akin to a demigod.
Perhaps if the Asura God was willing to give him a God Position, he could also transform into a god.
Unfortunately, the Asura God did not have this intention right now.
He was merely being used as a tool for the time being.
The God of Slaughter beside him observed Tang Chen and had already painted several grand schemes for him.
As long as Tang Chen acted according to his plan, the God Position would be within reach.
Of course, it wouldn't be the Asura God King's.
Tang Chen, who had previously "failed" the God examination, had no objection to this.
In his view, the Asura God was already giving him an extra chance.
Moreover, the God of Slaughter's attitude towards him was quite good, and their communication was currently harmonious.
This also allowed Tang Chen to understand many things that happened while he was unconscious.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Clear Sky Sect?"
As the two landed, they naturally attracted the attention of many Clear Sky Sect experts.
Especially the Titled Douluo Elders of the Clear Sky Sect, who were all extremely nervous now.
Their nerves were taut, fearing that some unknown powerhouse had suddenly entered the Clear Sky Sect's territory.
Unfortunately, Tang Chen and the God of Slaughter perfectly fit this description.
Moreover, their crimson blood aura, terrifying spirit power, and killing intent perfectly matched the description of Fallen Spirit Masters.
Recently, they had also received quite a bit of news.
Namely, that Tang Hao had truly died in Blue Silver City, and now, not only Tang Hao but also their Sect Master, Tang Xiao, had died there too.
They were annihilated without even fighting, and even the Seventh Elder, Blazing Sun Douluo, had died—a completely worthless death. This made them deeply resent Tang Hao, and, of course, Tang Yuehua as well.
If she weren't still valuable, they would have wished to kill Tang Yuehua directly.
They had all advised against sending anyone, yet she insisted on sending people to save them.
As a result, the people weren't saved, and they sacrificed themselves instead.
Now, rumors were circulating that Blue Silver City was the new base camp for Fallen Spirit Masters, and Tang Chen and the God of Slaughter were naturally counted among them.
"People from Blue Silver City?"
"Do you really intend to exterminate us?"
"Our Clear Sky Sect did not provoke you. Everything is Tang Hao's fault."
"It was Tang Hao who provoked you. Why take it out on us?"
"Fallen Spirit Masters are so wicked. Spirit Hall will not spare you."
The Clear Sky Sect Elders, even those who were Titled Douluo, had absolutely no confidence when facing Tang Chen and the God of Slaughter.
They spoke somewhat tremblingly, completely lacking the bearing of a Titled Douluo.
They even brought up the name of Spirit Hall.
They had completely abandoned all face.
This sight caused Tang Chen to narrow his eyes, revealing his displeasure. He truly disliked the attitude of these people.
Among them, there seemed to be people he recognized. Did no one recognize him?
And they were acting like this?
Had the Clear Sky Sect fallen to such a state?
Did they need to rely on the name of Spirit Hall just to survive?
