Chapter 489: 475 Emperor Xue Ye Turns His Face_1
"No!" Emperor Xue Ye's deep eyes shifted.
"Then why," Chu Qin said with a faint smile, "are the Empire's million-strong army all gathered near the capital?"
Emperor Xue Ye's face visibly changed, but then he smiled lightly and said, "Well, that's because the Tiandou Empire's founding celebration is about to begin. I'm planning to bring the army together for a grand review."
"Ah! So that's it!" Chu Qin nodded, "So the gathering of Soul Masters from across the nation here is also for the grand review."
"Mhm mhm!" Emperor Xue Ye responded without changing his expression.
"Chu Qin, the grand review is going to be really interesting!" Xue Ke said with a smile, "You must come when the time comes!"
"Ke'er, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it!" Chu Qin's expression changed slightly.
"Ah? Why not?" Xue Ke took a bite of her steak and asked in surprise. Meanwhile, Emperor Xue Ye's expression grew serious.
"Because there are thousands of Soul Masters hidden near this great hall!" Chu Qin said with a serene expression and a distant look in his eyes.
"Thousands of Soul Masters?" Xue Ke's brows furrowed, "How could that be possible!"
"Ke'er, the thousands of Soul Masters arranged by Father Emperor are here to kill me and Chu Qin!" Xue Qinghe said with a cold gaze.
"What!" Xue Ke's face turned pale with shock, "Big brother, what do you mean!"
"It's quite simple!" Chu Qin replied, "Your father emperor feels that your big brother and I have become threats to him, and he wants to eliminate us as soon as possible."
"Father Emperor, is this true!" Xue Ke looked at Emperor Xue Ye with fear and disbelief.
Emperor Xue Ye did not reply!
His face had completely changed, the fake benevolence in his eyes all gone, replaced by bone-chilling coldness and ruthlessness.
"Could it be... it's true..." Seeing Emperor Xue Ye's demeanor, Xue Ke's heart rate accelerated as terror filled her eyes!
"Uncle Xue, I don't recall doing anything to wrong you!" Chu Qin said, his gaze as icy as he stared back at Emperor Xue Ye.
"Haven't you!" Emperor Xue Ye said with a faint cold laugh, "Chu Qin, I've always treated you like my closest kin. Who would have thought, Empress Zhu Yundi of Star Luo is your woman!"
"Father Emperor, I also know that Sister Yundi is Chu Qin's woman. Just because of this, you want to move against Chu Qin?" Xue Ke shouted anxiously.
"Ke'er! That alone is enough!" Chu Qin said with an indifferent smile, "Your father emperor is naturally suspicious. I guess in his heart, he must believe that Yundi and I are conspiring together, using the alliance as a mere delay tactic while secretly plotting to seize the power of the Tiandou Empire! He even suspects that since your big brother and I are close, your big brother has also been turned by me!"
"Good!" Emperor Xue Ye's lips curled coldly as he said, "Chu Qin, since you've confessed, there's no need for me to say more!"
"Xue Ye!" Chu Qin picked up a glass of red wine from the table and sipped it lightly, "Out of respect for Ke'er, I treated you with utmost reverence and regarded you as an uncle. Indeed, it's said that serving a ruler is akin to being in company with a tiger!"
"Hmph! Chu Qin, there's nothing left to say at this point!" Emperor Xue Ye declared, "Today, both you and Qinghe will die here!"
"Father Emperor, do you really want to kill me as well?" Xue Qinghe asked.
"Hmph! I didn't want to kill you at first, at most cripple you! But what Chu Qin said has made me see clearly!" Emperor Xue Ye replied, "Xue Qinghe, my Prince, and probably Prince Xue Xing as well, it was you who killed them, wasn't it!"
"That's right!" With Chu Qin laying his cards on the table, what was there for Qian Renxue to hide!
"Impossible! Impossible!" Xue Ke screamed as she cried, "Big brother, Father Emperor, Chu Qin, it can't be true, it can't be!"
"Ke'er, step aside!" Emperor Xue Ye said coldly, "This has nothing to do with you!"
"Father Emperor, I beg you, please don't do this, spare Chu Qin and big brother!" Xue Ke knelt down and pleaded with Emperor Xue Ye as she wept!
"Ke'er, there's no need to beg him!" Chu Qin coldly said, "Xue Ye, do you really think that with these few people, you can kill me?"
"Before your people even entered this place, I could have killed you ten times over!" Chu Qin said with a grim smile.
"Hmph!" Emperor Xue Ye snorted coldly, "Chu Qin, your methods are indeed clever, but try now, can you still circulate your Soul Power?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qin's pupils suddenly froze for a moment, and then a sharp pain surged in his abdomen, and his face was marked with lines resembling those of a centipede!
Chu Qin clutched at his abdomen, his complexion extremely agonized!
"Chu Qin!" Xue Qinghe shouted loudly.
"No need to shout!" Emperor Xue Ye said with a ghostly smile, "This poison is a mixture of the venom of forty-nine deadly soul beasts. Even an Unparalleled Douluo would not last long. Chu Qin, in this battle against me, you're as good as dead!"
No sooner had Emperor Xue Ye finished his words than Chu Qin had completely collapsed onto the table!
"Chu Qin!" The moment Chu Qin fell, Xue Ke's heart seemed to utterly shatter!
"Father, you!" Xue Ke's eyes flickered with tears as she stared at Xue Ye, bloodshot.
"Ke'er!" Emperor Xue Ye looked at Xue Ke, his voice slightly tender, "Ke'er, don't worry! Although Chu Qin is dead, Father will find you an even better man!"
"No. I don't want it!" Xue Ke said, her pupils turning a crimson red, while under her feet, purple, purple, black, black, black, red, red, seven horrifying Soul Rings lit up.
At the same time, Xue Ke's Martial Soul, a swan resembling an angel, emerged behind her!
"Ke'er, you!" Seeing Xue Ke's Soul Ring configuration, Emperor Xue Ye's pupils noticeably shrank.
"Xue Ye, you killed Chu Qin, now pay with your life!" Xue Ke seemed to have lost all reason!
"Ke'er, you want to kill me!" Emperor Xue Ye said, his gaze icy.
"No one can kill Chu Qin. Whoever kills him, I will kill them! Father, you're no exception!"
"Fourth Soul Skill: Wild Goose Sand Palm!"
As Xue Ke's words fell, her slender palm gathered a terrifying energy and, like a meteor, shot towards Emperor Xue Ye's chest!
However, just as Xue Ke was about to strike Xue Ye, nine figures dressed in black suddenly appeared in front of him, each standing on two yellow, three purple, and three black Soul Rings that flickered.
Clearly, they were nine Soul Douluos.
Quickly, the Soul Douluo in the center made a move to intercept Xue Ke!
Unexpectedly, the moment this Soul Douluo touched Xue Ke, he seemed somewhat unable to withstand her and was directly pushed back by Xue Ke!
In fact, with a Full Soul Bone Set and two hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings, along with the enhancement from Chu Qin's secret manuals, Xue Ke might only have the Soul Power at the seventy-fourth level, but her combat power could already match a level eighty-four Soul Douluo.
And the Soul Douluo trying to block Xue Ke was only at level eighty-two, how could he resist Xue Ke's strike in her furious state!
"Your Highness the Princess, please reconsider!" called out a Soul Douluo's voice towards Xue Ke. Chu Qin recognized him; it was Rogerson!
"No!" Xue Ke roared, "Xue Ye killed Chu Qin; he must die!"
"Your Highness the Princess, you will die!"
"Even if I'm to die today, I wish to die together with Chu Qin!" Xue Ke shouted.
"Rebellious girl! Kill her along with him!" Emperor Xue Ye looked at Xue Ke, his fury unrestrained!
