Chapter 231: Only rely on oneself

Eight Treasure Glazed Sect.

Ning Fengzhi contracted the front lines; the world was in great turmoil. All sect members, except those on special missions abroad, must return to Eight Treasure Glazed City; no one may leave without orders.

Furthermore, he ordered the sect's construction corps to begin raising the city walls and also to build the long wall for defense.

"Fengzhi, when will we announce independence and establish the Nine Treasure Glazed State?"

"Also, our sect must be renamed."

Chen Xin and Gu Rong asked in a solemn voice.

After making a difficult decision, Ning Fengzhi took out pen and paper and began writing a letter.

After a moment! The pen stopped, finished! This letter, he wrote with great difficulty.

Every word was written only after careful consideration.

Finally, he looked at the content on the envelope and sighed helplessly.

"I too have no choice; I hope the Snow Night Great Emperor will not blame me for this."

He whistled, and a carrier pigeon flew in from outside, landing on the table.

Ning Fengzhi reached out and gently stroked it, rolled the envelope, tied it to its leg, and said, "Go, fly to the Snow Night Great Emperor."

"First announce externally that the Eight Treasure Glazed Sect is renamed the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect." Ning Fengzhi thought, then said.

Soon, this news was quickly spread outward by a mysterious force.

Upon hearing the news, various parties reacted differently.

……

The Tiandou Imperial Court, the Snow Night Great Emperor also heard this news and felt extremely shocked! Just moments ago he wanted to contact them, and then they changed their name to the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect?

"In that case, we can restore contact; I must quickly send someone to get in touch!"

The Snow Night Great Emperor was overjoyed; with the help of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect, his pressure could instantly diminish greatly.

But just then, a carrier pigeon flew toward him.

"Your Majesty, be careful! There's an enemy attack!"

Now, in this situation of worldwide chaos, the Royal Guard's every member was tense to the extreme; seeing the carrier pigeon fly down toward the Snow Night Great Emperor, they immediately assumed someone was using a carrier pigeon to attack, and immediately drew their swords and shouted.

The next second, the long sword in their hand was already swung, releasing a sword qi that flew toward the pigeon.

The pigeon: "Fuck your mother, you whore! I'm just a messenger; you're going to chop me?"

"Wait!"

"Stop!"

Snow Moon Great Earth, upon seeing the pigeon's appearance, his face changed drastically; he quickly intervened, breaking the sword qi.

A powerful force appeared on his body! Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black!

Eight soul rings rose from beneath his feet!

Though he appeared weak, he was actually an eight-ring Soul Douluo!

The sword qi was timely interrupted; the pigeon saved its life.

The Snow Night Great Emperor slowly said: "This is not an enemy attack; this is a carrier pigeon from the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect."

"I, the subordinate, have failed in my duty!"

"Please, Your Majesty, punish me!"

The Royal Guard, after seeing the pigeon clearly, their faces slightly changed; they quickly knelt on one knee, admitting fault with a very good attitude.

The Snow Night Great Emperor smiled: "It's fine; you have done your utmost. Now is a tense moment; I do not blame you."

He raised a hand and grabbed; the pigeon, offering no resistance, fell into his hand.

Seeing the envelope tied to its foot, his face lit up with joy.

He quickly took it out and opened it to look.

The face that should have been joyous instantly fell.

Obviously, the content on the envelope was not what he wanted to see!

The following was written on it:

"Your Majesty, I am sorry; I am willing but lack the strength, I have been restrained by a very powerful force, cannot free myself, unable to support you…"

"Damn it!"

The Snow Night Great Emperor softly pinched the envelope and set it alight with a fire.

"Alas, it seems relying on others is no match for relying on oneself!" "We must fight alone!"

The Snow Night Great Emperor sighed helplessly.

He felt that everyone in the world was targeting him! "How is my son Xue Beng doing?" the Snow Night Great Emperor asked the Imperial Army.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Prince Xue Beng has been safely taken by the Prince away from the Tiandou Royal Academy and returned to the Imperial Court." The Imperial Army replied respectfully.

"It's good that he's back; now I only have this one son left." The Snow Night Great Emperor lamented.

The world's people are cold-hearted.

He also asked: "Have you still not made contact with the Poison Douluo?"

He hasn't seen them for a long time.

"Not found." The Imperial Army lowered their heads.

……

The Prince's Mansion.

"Uncle, what exactly is the situation now?" Xue Beng, changing from his usual arrogance and domineering attitude, became steady.

Previously, his arrogant and domineering, unlearned appearance was all an act he put on for his older brother, the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, to see.

At least outwardly, he must maintain that detestable, unlearned appearance.

Only this way can one preserve one's life and wait for the opportunity.

After all, several of his older brothers have died.

And the person who benefits the most from all this is his elder brother Xue Qinghe; anyone who isn't a fool can figure out what's going on.

The imperial power struggle is this realistic and cruel.

Jee-lee goo-loo, jee-lee goo-loo…

"Like this, like that, like this, like that, like this, like that, like that!"

"So you understand?"

Prince Xue Xing knows best that Xue Beng is playing a role, and this is also his plan.

He has always been on Xue Beng's side.

He has no liking for Crown Prince Xue Qinghe at all, and he also knows that the deaths of those nephews were certainly not suspicious, nor coincidental; it must have been done by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, they just can't find any evidence.

"I didn't expect it to change so much, it's like a dream." After hearing this, Xue Beng was dumbfounded.

Just a moment ago he was still playing the role of a spoiled young master in the Tian Dou Royal Academy, constantly playing around there, and he rarely paid attention to outside affairs.

So he doesn't know much.

However, he also knows that the outside is now chaotic, but he is confident that his father has the ability to suppress it, and with his elder brother present, he cannot reveal himself too early, otherwise the other side will strike at him; if he does, all those years of pretending will have been in vain!

"Nowadays, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe has gone missing, and it's highly likely he was killed by reactionary forces and his body destroyed! Now my elder brother's son is only you left, so the crown prince position belongs to none but you, and you will naturally and rightfully inherit the future heir's position! No one will be able to wrest this imperial throne from you!"

Prince Xue Xing spoke up; if others heard this, they would surely be frightened to death.

Xue Beng gave a bitter laugh: "But the the Heaven Dou Empire has split into countless small states; the empire exists in name only, my position is also not what it used to be, and now I can only hold onto Tian Dou City."

"As long as our Xue family remains, there is still hope for the the Heaven Dou Empire to make a comeback!"

"First of all, you must not lose heart!"

Prince Xue Xing said.

"What should we do next?" Xue Xing asked.

"First we need to stabilize the foundation, which is Tian Dou City."

"As for the future, there's no need to rush; we'll take it step by step. As long as we're alive, there is hope!"

"Come, lean in and listen!"

Prince Xue Xing waved his hand.

Xue Beng leaned his ear in, and Prince Xue Xing told him some schemes.

……

"I, Hu Han San, am back!"

In the Great Sea, Li Fei's figure appeared.

He swept with his powerful spiritual sense to see what the situation is now……
