Chapter 75: Heaven Dou Imperial Court Debate Competition
New book release: 【Fairy Sister, Please Be Gentle With Me】
"What is the situation with the explosion that just happened?"
Inside the Taizi Fu, Xue Qinghe gazed into the distance; that direction was precisely the residence of the Strength Clan.
After the Snake Spear Douluo returned, he had already informed him of what had happened previously.
He did not expect that Ma Hongjun already possessed the strength to defeat a Ninety-Fifth Level Peak Douluo.
Qian Renxue, disguised as the Crown Prince, had already felt the threat.
Allowing such an uncontrollable factor to continue growing is not a good thing.
If Ma Hongjun were willing to surrender to her, everything would be easy to discuss, but it is a pity that it is clearly impossible, so she can only let the Offering Hall step forward to see if they can take the other party down.
"Young Master, the news just sent back is that an explosion occurred at the residence of the Strength Clan, and one of the buildings collapsed. We do not yet know exactly what happened, and we are still conducting an in-depth investigation," the Snake Spear Douluo said respectfully.
"It is impossible for every one of their disciples to keep their mouths shut; start with their disciples! You must obtain first-hand, accurate intelligence as quickly as possible!"
"Emperor Xue Ye will also know about it soon."
Qian Renxue issued the order.
"Yes!" The Snake Spear Douluo hid in the darkness and left.
"A Supreme Treasure that can change the defects of a martial soul?"
"Phoenix Academy is truly going to become the target of public criticism!"
"No wonder so many Phoenix Girls have appeared."
"My previous suspicions were correct."
"If I could obtain that Supreme Treasure, the strength of the people under my command would definitely soar in a short period of time."
"It's just that there were rumors before that that guy is a spokesperson for the gods; I wonder if it is true or false?"
"If it really involves the gods, then it must be treated even more seriously."
Qian Renxue gazed at Phoenix Mountain, her eyes flashing with the light of wisdom.
Her thoughts were numerous, wondering how to conquer it.
In the end, she felt that her own strength was still too thin.
Perhaps she could only let the Offering Hall take action.
A guard hurried into the Imperial Palace to report the intelligence.
Emperor Xue Ye, not having received completely accurate intelligence, also issued an order similar to Qian Renxue's.
"It really is an eventful autumn," Emperor Xue Ye rubbed his brow.
"Compared to the Strength Clan, Phoenix Academy is the real eventful autumn." He looked toward the direction of Phoenix Mountain not far away; he had naturally heard the recent rumors.
Combining all the previous signs, he decided that this possibility was very high.
"If I could obtain such a treasure, that would be great." A trace of greed flashed in Emperor Xue Ye's eyes.
How could a tiny Phoenix Academy possess such a Supreme Treasure? How are they qualified to possess it? The Supreme Treasure should be handed into his hands! "Is there any news from Dugu Bo's side?" Emperor Xue Ye asked the civil and military officials below.
"Not yet. He suddenly disappeared mysteriously. We suspect his disappearance may have something to do with Phoenix Academy."
"There is a speculation that he may have already joined Phoenix Academy."
"Phoenix Academy possesses a Supreme Treasure that can change martial soul defects and can also mutate martial souls into Phoenixes. We suspect that the Green Scale Phoenix Girl among the Phoenix Team is very likely Dugu Yan, who left the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy!"
"We have carefully observed her fighting style and behavior; they are very similar to Dugu Yan!"
"And that Nine Heart Phoenix Girl is very likely Ye Lingling, who left with her."
The officials began to speak.
After listening, Emperor Xue Ye nodded secretly.
In fact, he had already had his own suspicions.
Now the officials' speculations were consistent with his, making him even more certain.
"How does my beloved minister think we should deal with this Supreme Treasure of Phoenix Academy?" Emperor Xue Ye's eyes flashed with light. "It is just an academy; what virtue or ability do they have to possess such a Supreme Treasure?"
"Your Majesty, its location is very favorable to our Heaven Dou Empire. Why don't we strike first to conquer Phoenix Academy and take this treasure!"
"Once our country obtains this treasure, it will surely be able to improve the level of our Spirit Masters in a short time. In the future, why should we fear the Xingluo Empire and the Spirit Hall?"
A military general spoke first.
"Your Majesty, absolutely not!"
"I feel that now is not the time!"
However, a civil official came out directly to stop him.
This made everyone frown.
"Why does my beloved minister say that?" Emperor Xue Ye looked over and asked curiously.
"Nowadays, Phoenix Academy is very close to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. We suspect that the Nine Treasure Phoenix Girl in the Phoenix Team may have a great relationship with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If we move against Phoenix Academy now, letting the other party lean completely toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it will be disadvantageous to our Heaven Dou Empire."
"At that time, with internal troubles and external threats, the situation of our Heaven Dou Empire will be even more critical!"
A first-rank civil official said hurriedly.
"Hmm, what my beloved minister says is not without reason."
"Then in your opinion, what should I do?" Emperor Xue Ye thought for a moment; it seemed to make some sense.
"Now the news has been released, and it is the Spirit Hall. With such power, the Spirit Hall did not act secretly but instead released the news. They must want external forces to test it out, because the Spirit Hall itself does not know if it is true or false, or perhaps they have some misgivings."
"In my opinion, we should sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, wait for the right time, and reap the benefits!"
"After all, this place is the territory of our Heaven Dou Empire!"
"With the great army here, the advantage is ours!"
The first-rank civil official stated his method.
"The most important point is that if Dugu Yan has really joined Phoenix Academy, then her grandfather Dugu Bo must also be there. The relationship between the two sides may be very close. That guy's poison is no joke. Even if we have thousands of troops and a million soldiers, once poisoned, it is basically over!"
"Unless we possess a Title Douluo who can restrain poison, or a Title Douluo who also plays with poison, we cannot suppress it!"
"Once we suffer heavy losses, the Phoenix Academy, the Spirit Hall, and the Xingluo Empire will launch an offensive against us; by that time, the Heaven Dou Empire will be in danger!"
Once these words were spoken, everyone felt there was much reason in them.
Civil officials were indeed civil officials; they considered things very thoroughly.
As for the military generals, they were a group of reckless brutes who had not considered the consequences at all.
If Emperor Xue Ye had truly listened to the first-rank military general and attacked directly.
That would have been an unprecedented catastrophe! "But the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect supports us!" The first-rank military general's face flushed red; the other party was slapping his face, which made him very angry.
But since he was currently at the foot of the Emperor's great hall, he dared not vent his rage.
"Hmph, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is an outsider after all! Do you intend to hand over the fate of my country to be decided by people of another faction!?" The first-rank civil official sneered: "How is this any different from treason?"
"You! Stop spouting nonsense!" The first-rank military general panicked.
If he were branded with the crime of treason, he would be finished.
"Enough, let this matter be for now; we shall deliberate on the Phoenix Academy at length."
Discord between civil officials and military generals was also something Emperor Xue Ye wanted to see; if the people of these two factions lived in harmony, that would be the greatest threat to him.
"Court dismissed!"
With a wave of his hand, Emperor Xue Ye decided the resolution of this court debate.
"Yes!"
The crowd bowed one after another, then left quickly.
The military general held a belly full of fire inside, wanting to find an opportunity to take revenge on that fellow.
