Chapter 400: Seeing Ye Nichang Again, Developing the
Feihuang and Princess Xue Ke rushed toward the Tiandou Capital at an extremely fast speed.
Feihuang knew clearly that if he wanted to complete his plan easily, he had to take control of the imperial palace and create a fait accompli before Qian Renxue returned from the Spirit Hall.
They did not enter the city immediately, but went to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy first.
Zhuge Liang and Ye Nichang had long been waiting here.
"Crown Prince Feihuang, you have finally come. It has been a long time; you seem to be looking more and more dashing." Ye Nichang looked behind him. "That, has His Excellency Xuanbing not arrived yet?"
"Aunt, my mother did not prepare to come this time, but please rest assured, Aunt, my presence is enough," Feihuang replied confidently.
Ye Nichang frowned. "Crown Prince Feihuang, do you know that this matter may be related to the Spirit Hall? Although your talent is unparalleled, you are still too young after all. If a battle at the Title level unfolds, how will you deal with it?"
It seemed she was still somewhat worried about Feihuang's strength, which was normal; after all, the Spirit Hall's operation to attack Feihuang and this infiltration plan were carried out almost simultaneously within these two days.
Now, the news of Feihuang defeating four Title Douluo had not yet spread across the continent.
Who could believe that such an eighteen-year-old youth had already reached a level of real strength comparable to a Super Douluo?
Feihuang smiled helplessly. Even if he said how strong his strength was right now, the other party might not believe it; after all, hearing is false and seeing is believing. Fortunately, he remembered to bring a helper along.
"If Aunt is truly worried about me, then why not take a look at this senior behind me? Senior Long Gong, please let Aunt see the foundation of our Gu Lei Kingdom."
"As you command!" Long Gong held his dragon staff, and nine Spirit Rings—two yellow, three purple, and four black—rose from beneath his feet. "Ye Nichang, I am Long Gong. I believe you have heard of my name, but I only just broke through to Level Ninety recently, so you might not know my title yet. My title is Dragon Snake; please keep it in mind."
Long Gong, having broken through to Title Douluo, had become much more arrogant than before, which was to be expected; after all, his lifelong wish had been fulfilled, so what was wrong with showing off a bit?
Long Gong's title was taken as Dragon Snake, which seemed to show he still wanted to share his honor with his wife, She Po.
She Po's talent was limited; she was over seventy years old but was still only a Spirit Saint. In this life, it was likely very difficult for her to reach the Title level, so Long Gong had written both of their martial souls into his title.
This virtuous couple truly had deep affection for each other.
"Greetings, Your Excellency Dragon Snake! Congratulations on reaching the realm of Title Douluo!" Ye Nichang hurriedly bowed; it was not her first time meeting Long Gong.
In the past, she and Long Gong were both Spirit Douluo, and neither was inferior to the other, but now that Long Gong had broken through to Title Douluo, he was a figure of the highest rank on the continent, and she absolutely could not be impolite.
Moreover, with this Title Douluo present, she could finally set her mind at ease. Although she knew that Long Gong's strength was far inferior to Title Douluo Lan Xue, She Po was here too, wasn't she?
Back then, the Dragon Snake Combined Attack, composed of a Spirit Douluo and a Spirit Emperor, had power comparable to a Level Ninety-One Title Douluo. Now, with a real Title Douluo and a Spirit Saint who had obtained the True Body of their tool martial soul, the power of the Dragon Snake Combined Attack would surely be infinitely close to a Super Douluo.
With such combat power to assist, what else could she be dissatisfied with?
"Crown Prince Feihuang, Your Excellency Dragon Snake, Princess, Senior She Po, and Miss Lingqi, please come in."
"Alright, Aunt, please lead the way. We will go see Xue Beng first." Nan Feihuang followed Ye Nichang into the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. The residual poison gas here had long been dispelled by the Nine Heart Begonia, so even for someone like Xue Ke, whose cultivation was weak, it was perfectly fine to enter.
"By the way, Aunt, you don't need to be so polite and call me Crown Prince all the time. This is not the Gu Lei Kingdom, and Senior Lingling has always taken good care of me. She is living very well in my Gu Lei Kingdom now, and you can be considered my elder, so just call me Feihuang." Ye Nichang smiled. "Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony. Feihuang, you must not be careless in this operation, and remember to keep it secret. Aside from the few of us, do not disclose it to anyone. For the sake of safety, I didn't even inform the Three Education Committee Members."
"This nephew understands." Feihuang was clear about Ye Nichang's concerns. The Three Education Committee Members were indeed good people, but they belonged to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
If he told them this rashly, they might not believe it, and might even go directly to question Xue Qinghe, resulting in a counterproductive outcome.
At this time, it was better to find a way to enter Great Emperor Xue Ye's palace and wake him up first.
The group arrived at Prince Xue Beng's dormitory, where Xue Beng was still lying on the bed in a coma.
This fellow was quite unlucky; he probably didn't know what had happened from beginning to end, and had been used by Feihuang the whole time, helping Feihuang take the blame for countless things.
However, if it were framing others, Feihuang might have a psychological burden, but not for this guy.
He had been pretending to be a playboy all these years, and even Qian Renxue believed it, which showed how well he acted.
What is a playboy? One who bullies men and women, and exploits the common people.
It was precisely because Xue Beng always did these things that his reputation was so poor. He survived by doing this, but the common people he persecuted while pretending to be a playboy were completely useless objects he discarded after using.
Feihuang was merely using his own methods against him.
He himself was not a good person either, but Feihuang had a bottom line he strictly adhered to. No matter how he schemed against others, the targets were always Spirit Masters, high-level members of hostile forces, etc., and he would not lay a hand on the common people.
Because the struggle for the continent was a competition between strategists, Spirit Masters, and armies, and had nothing to do with the unarmed common people.
"Prince Xue Beng is too deeply poisoned. My Nine Heart Begonia can only delay his time of death; it cannot save him at all," Ye Nichang sighed.
"That is enough, Aunt. Thanks to you, we have a glimmer of hope," Feihuang said. "Lingqi, help me draw a tube of Prince Xue Beng's blood."
"Yes!" Lingqi took out the items prepared in advance and stepped forward to draw blood for Xue Beng.
"Feihuang, what are you planning to do?" Ye Nichang asked suspiciously.
"Aunt, according to your deduction, the Great Emperor and Prince Xue Beng may have been poisoned by the same thing, so to wake the Great Emperor, we must analyze the components of this poison," Feihuang said.
"Feihuang, you understand pharmacology?" Ye Nichang asked in surprise. This child, it was one thing to be able to write and fight, but he even knew pharmacology? Did he have to be so omnipotent?
"I know a little!" Feihuang smiled modestly. In reality, his current pharmacological knowledge was not inferior to anyone's.
He had at least mastered thirty or forty percent of the alchemy section of the Dunjia Heavenly Book, not to mention learning it completely, so surpassing the natives of Douluo Continent was no problem.
"Aunt, give me one hour. Although I dare not guarantee that I can develop an antidote to completely cure the poison, it is absolutely no problem to temporarily suppress the toxicity," Feihuang guaranteed.
