Chapter 420: Conspiracy for the Star Luo Empire
Early the next morning, in the bedroom, Xiao Wu's progress in condensing the eighth soul ring came to an end.
As the age of the eighth spirit ring increased to ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, just one step away from the one hundred thousand year mark, Xiao Wu stopped continuing to increase the age of the eighth spirit ring.
At the same time, after the eighth soul ring was condensed, Xiao Wu's soul power level soared directly to the peak of level 83 Contra, almost reaching level 84 Contra.
If he only condenses an extreme spirit ring that is less than 80 years old, it is naturally impossible for Xiao Wu to be promoted from level 83 quasi-Contra to peak level Contra.
Being able to improve so much was naturally due to Xiao Wu refining the ice-attributed 100,000-year-old torso soul bone before condensing the eighth soul ring.
With the soul power attached to refining a 83-year-old torso soul bone, and the eighth soul ring approaching years ago, Xiao Wu reached the peak of level as soon as he advanced to the Eight-Ring Soul Douluo.
Later, Ye Chen handed over a century-old soul ring year improvement card that he had prepared a long time ago.
Soon, with the use of the soul ring year improvement card, Xiao Wu's originally black and red eighth soul ring completely transformed into a red one hundred thousand year soul ring.
By the way, her soul power level also broke through the peak of level 83 and was upgraded to level 84 Contra.
Even though Xiao Wu's eighth spirit ring was only upgraded by one hundred years, there was a qualitative gap between a ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine-year-old spirit ring and a hundred-thousand-year-old spirit ring.
Qualitative changes lead to quantitative changes, and it is not surprising that the soul power attached to the transformation of the soul ring allowed Xiao Wu to break through level 1 again.
Now that Xiao Wu has advanced to the Eight Ring Soul Douluo, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's soul power levels have also reached Ye Chen's expectation, and they can set out to find the seventh soul ring for them.
However, Ye Chen is not ready to set off now. After all, he may not know how long it will take to find the soul ring.
But what is certain is that this cannot be accomplished in a few days.
Qian Renxue's enthronement ceremony should begin soon, and Ye Chen planned to wait until after the enthronement ceremony to look for the soul ring.
......
After breakfast, Ye Chen took advantage of his free time and went to Tiandou Palace.
Emperor Xueye was assassinated, but the Tiandou Empire was not in chaos. That was because Tiandou had already decided on the prince, and the prince was not an incompetent person, so Tiandou could not cause chaos.
But if something happens to the crown prince again, the Empire of Tiandou will be in chaos.
So now Qian Renxue no longer lives in the Prince's Mansion, but has moved to the palace, just to not give the bad guys any opportunity to take advantage of her.
Inside the hall.
"Xiao Xue'er, how are the arrangements for your ascension to the throne?"
Ye Chen asked Qian Renxue.
"I don't need to worry about the enthronement ceremony. It will be held in two days."
Now that the emperor has died in a battle and there is no one to manage the court, Xue Qinghe, as the crown prince, naturally wants to succeed to the throne as soon as possible.
Even if Qian Renxue is not in a hurry, those princes and ministers will be.
What's more, in the eyes of those princes and ministers, the Star Luo Empire has sent assassins to assassinate Emperor Xue Ye. It is foreseeable that the war will come soon, and the empire will not be able to survive without an emperor to give orders.
"Two days later? By the way, can you control Tiandou's court now?"
Ye Chen was a little worried that Qian Renxue would not be able to control the entire court. After all, the plan to assassinate Emperor Xue Ye was completed very quickly, leaving little time for Qian Renxue.
"Don't worry! My years in Tiandou have not been in vain."
He has been lurking in the Tiandou Empire for so many years, and with the secret help of Wuhun Palace, and Xue Qinghe is the crown prince, there should not be too many high-ranking officials in the court who fall to the prince's faction.
In the original work, Qian Renxue fell short of success because her true identity was exposed.
Otherwise, even if the prince wanted to rebel, Qian Renxue would basically be able to succeed if the emperor could not intervene.
After all, if the prince falls, then the high-ranking officials in the prince's faction will inevitably be affected. For the sake of their own interests, they will naturally follow Qian Renxue all the way to the end.
But if the prince is a spy sent by Wuhun Palace, then no one will follow Qian Renxue into the dark.
Because this is no longer a factional dispute within Tiandou, but a question of whether the Tiandou Empire can continue to exist in the future.
"That's good! If there is any opposition that is difficult to deal with, just tell me and I will handle it."
Whether Qian Renxue can control Tiandou Chaotang, Ye Chen still believes that she can do it.
But he also knew that it was impossible for all ministers to be obedient. With so many courtiers, there would always be some ministers who were not the same as the emperor, not to mention that the emperor was still a new king.
"The way you deal with it, do you mean to kill them directly?"
Qian Renxue blinked.
"I am His Majesty the Titled Douluo and the Duke of the Empire. If you are unsure about something, just let me do it and I will convince him with my fists!"
Saying that, Ye Chen raised his fist.
He is not proficient in politics, but it doesn't matter. Douluo Continent is a world of fists, and big fists are the truth.
I have big fists, so you have to listen to me, or I'll beat you to death!
Qian Renxue: "..."
"I can take care of the court affairs, but the military is already preparing to launch a war against the Star Luo Empire."
Qian Renxue talked about how angry the officials in the court were after the assassination of Emperor Xueye yesterday.
Not to mention the main war faction of the military, even the dove faction is clamoring to send troops to Xingluo.
How dare a titled Douluo from the Dai family of the Star Luo royal family dare to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor? That must be war! Is it true that the Tiandou Empire is a soft persimmon that can be manipulated at will?
That is to say, he cannot reveal his identity now, otherwise Qian Renxue will prepare to embed the masters of Wuhun Palace into the Tiandou Military Headquarters.
Fortunately, even if Wuhun Palace is unable to contribute, as long as Ye Chen is around, the Tiandou Empire will be invincible.
"When are you going to start the war?"
Although Ye Chen is just a novice, he also knows that large-scale army mobilization cannot be completed overnight.
What's more, it's not enough to just set off the army, you also need to ensure adequate supplies of food and grass.
After all, even if Ye Chen's strength could defeat Xing Luo's high-end combat power, he still needed enough soldiers to occupy the vast territory.
"As little as one month, as much as two months!"
"In this way, in my name, you send someone to send a war message to Dai Yutian, saying that I will crush their Xingluo royal family and let their Dai family show their true strength. After Dai Yutian gathers the masters to Xingluo City, I’ll just go and serve it in one pot!”
Ye Chen was planning to take over all the high-end combat power of the Star Luo Empire before the war between the two empires began.
Without high-end combat power, how could the Xingluo army be a match for Tiandou?
And this was not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy. Even if Dai Yutian guessed what Ye Chen wanted to do, he had to do it obediently.
After all, if the Star Luo Empire couldn't even defeat Ye Chen, then why fight with Tiandou? You might as well just surrender!
