Chapter 189: with translation of chapter title

Yang Yun's heart gave a start, but his expression remained calm and indifferent as he looked at Qian Renxue; one arm wrapped around her waist: "That must be it, the taste left between my teeth last night; if you like it, I have more."

Speaking, the two of them vanished from the spot.

Qianjun Soul Douluo and Xiangmo Soul Douluo wanted to discuss whether they should, now that the situation was settled, first go seize the ninth soul ring; then slowly plot to suppress the avalanche.

But now the person has just disappeared like this, you make it very difficult for us.

My martial soul isn't a crow, otherwise I'd flip the table and shout: "Difficult? Then don't do it."

"First clean up the aftermath." With a sigh, the death of the Snow Night Emperor proceeded orderly according to state funeral rites.

Afterward, the Avalanche Prince never showed his face again, and Xue Qinghe took the opportunity to make a big deal of this, constantly washing away the people's bad impression of the avalanche.

Avalanche and Xue Xing are now within the duchy under their control, and they quickly took control of public opinion.

While stabilizing the people's hearts, it also stabilizes the army's hearts, lest any mishap occur.

Even if the duchy is completely under control, if the Spirit Hall or one's own older brother finds an opportunity, the chance to turn the tables is extremely slim.

Avalanche also didn't expect that the opponent's cultivation was actually that of a Title Douluo; even though Qian Renxue never spoke, Avalanche could still tell.

It's likely that the opponent is related to the person impersonating one's older brother, and could even be one's own older brother.

"Compared to that, my cultivation as a Soul Emperor is vastly inferior; but I could never just give up, just wait and see."

He was thinking about that.

A Li's silhouette appeared before Avalanche: "Avalanche, Xue Qinghe now fully controls all the power in the court; therefore you can only contend with it using the strength of the kingdom-duchy."

"Remember this: when the enemy attacks, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we strike; when the enemy is weary, we harass. I will help you unite the soul master forces of the surrounding small kingdoms to contend with them; how far you can go depends on you."

"By the way, I have a talent here who might be useful to you; you two should communicate well."

A Li's black robe concealed a smile that was hard to hide.

That guy, the Grandmaster, staying in the earth fire and wasting manpower just to watch—better to let him out to help Avalanche stir things up and hold back Qian Renxue.

So that this guy doesn't think the situation is settled and then casually let someone take over the mess of the Tian Dou Empire, run back to the Spirit Hall to inherit the angel god's divine position.

Furthermore.

If the Grandmaster doesn't come out to join forces with Avalanche, what reason would the Breaking Heaven Sect have to wipe out Avalanche altogether?

After all, the earth fire is secretly controlled by me, and Avalanche indirectly counts as my subordinate; if Qian Renxue runs away and then we just let Avalanche rise to power, wouldn't that be pointless?

The Star Luo Empire will certainly take the opportunity to act; with the Breaking Heaven Sect present in the Spirit Hall, it's not certain they will intervene in the Star Luo Empire's annexation of the Tian Dou Empire.

Precisely because the Breaking Heaven Sect exists, the Star Luo Empire only then has the confidence and boldness, while expanding and revealing its ambitions in the Spirit Hall, to annex such a huge country as the Tian Dou Empire.

In fact, the Star Luo Empire had already been restless, ready to move, when it heard of the Snow Night Emperor's demise and after Avalanche and Xue Qinghe fell out and began to oppose each other.

However, later they heard that Avalanche had the earth fire behind him, and Xue Qinghe seemed to have some connection with the Spirit Hall.

That's why they decided to wait and see.

At this moment, the Sharp Feather Hall had already sent over news: the Star Luo Empire's Crown Prince Dai Weis has an important matter to discuss with me.

As for what exactly it is, the other side said Shark Uncle couldn't decide; they insisted that Yang Yun must return in person. The Star Luo Empire can now be said to be practically a foregone conclusion that Dai Weis will inherit the throne, and Dai Mubai really isn't fit to show his face.

Moreover, later Zhu Zhuyun secretly arranged behind the scenes for the court officials and Zhu Zhuqing to meet privately, not knowing what they were discussing; now Dai Mubai's situation is becoming increasingly dangerous.

On the surface he could still maintain the prince's dignified façade, but secretly he was already riddled with crises.

But Dai Mubai had no way at all, because Dai Weis had accumulated prestige in the court for a long time; the various relationships, secret alliances, intertwined interests were extremely complex and vast.

In the original work, he had his talent increased by the support of immortal herbs, and behind him followed Shrek Academy; aside from Tang San and the Hao Tian Soul Douluo, there was also a bias in the unseen toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect and the Hao Tian Sect.

Naturally, there are plenty in the royal family who dislike Dai Weis's conduct, or perhaps his subordinates' mortal enemies want to oppose him.

Thus they defect to support Dai Mubai.

Now it's different; Dai Weis previously invited the Breaking Heaven Sect to join Star Luo City, and their dealings have continued uninterrupted to this day.

Just this alone—the fact that the Breaking Heaven Sect punched Shrek Academy to death—makes it impossible for anyone to still support him blindly.

At present, Dai Weis inheriting the throne is already an inevitable trend.

However, Dai Weis seems to want to make his position more stable; it's just unclear what he intends to do.

He even brazenly said he wanted to personally step forward.

Breaking Heaven Sect.

Yang Yun spent some time returning to the sect, and also saw Dai Weis sitting in the council hall, drinking water until he was almost full.

"Long time no see, Sect Master Yang Yun, you're still as graceful and elegant." Dai Weis hurriedly rose and returned the salute.

He didn't mention at all how long he had been waiting here, nor did he show the slightest dissatisfaction.

After Yang Yun sat down, he stared directly into Dai Weis's eyes, as if trying to see through his soul, leaving no secrets hidden.

"Crown Prince insists that the sect master personally appear—what is it for?"

Dai Weis first broke into a cold sweat under Yang Yun's gaze, swallowing several mouthfuls of saliva before recovering; that moment was sheer agony.

After recovering somewhat, he bowed and said: "Sect Master Yang Yun, for the continued cooperation and development of the Star Luo Empire's royal family and the Breaking Heaven Sect; I"

"Let's get to the point; I have other matters to attend to—I can't stand listening to your long preamble." Yang Yun spoke up to cut off Dai Weis's long-winded speech.

In the end, the only useful part was a certain sentence placed later, which was quite a waste of time.

Dai Weis choked a bit, his eyes darting around as he quickly figured it out; he got straight to the point: "Sect Master Yang Yun, I wish to become your disciple; to make the relationship between the Star Luo Empire and the Breaking Heaven Sect closer."

As soon as he said that, Yang Yun immediately understood.

Given Dai Weis's talent, it would hardly be fitting for him to be my disciple; that's why the later remark about strengthening the relationship between the two sides came about.

All Dai Weis ever wanted was just a title.

After Yang Yun pondered for a moment, he said: "Crown Prince Dai Weis is intelligent and gifted; my Breaking Heaven Sect never turns away talented disciples, so how could I refuse the Crown Prince's request?"

"However, as a Crown Prince, he cannot lower himself to perform sect duties; so let him be enrolled as a nominal disciple under the sect master, needing to fulfill no sect obligations, and if he wishes to exchange sect resources, he can use gold soul coins or treasures of equivalent value."
