Chapter 96
Pulling One Faction Against Another
Chapter 96 Divide and Conquer
"I still can't accept it, Qinghe, he..."
Emperor Xueye's expression was complex, and his eyes revealed a deep sorrow.
That was his favorite son, and also his most outstanding son; otherwise, he wouldn't have made him the crown prince so early on.
However, Xue Qinghe died, and the people of the Spirit Hall somehow managed to take his place, while his father, Emperor Xue Ye, remained completely unaware.
The Snow Night Emperor lowered his head; this was his sorrow as a father.
After letting out a deep sigh, Emperor Xueye raised his head. "Chenfeng, what do you suggest we do now?"
Chen Feng said, "My suggestion is that we can talk to Qian Renxue first. You should know that the Spirit Hall's power is currently divided into two factions: one is the elder faction led by Bibi Dong, and the other is the enshrined faction led by Qian Daoliu."
"Now that the Haotian Sect has retreated into seclusion, relying solely on the Heaven Dou Empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is far from sufficient to wage war against them simultaneously. Therefore, we must try our best to win over one faction while attacking the other."
Inside the room, the important figures present all nodded.
Currently, Bibi Dong's elder faction alone already possesses nearly ten Title Douluo. If the Hall of Offerings were to intervene, there would be absolutely no chance of defeating them.
It should be noted that the group of old guys in the Hall of Offerings are all Super Douluo of level 95 or above, and cannot be regarded as ordinary Title Douluo.
The three sects, though supposedly of being of the same ilk, each have their own agendas and are not of one mind. How can they possibly fight against them?
Chenfeng's method was approved by everyone.
"But how should we talk to her?" Emperor Xueye asked again.
He clenched his fists, sighed, and added, "To be honest, if Qinghe is really gone, I really don't want to talk to her anymore. Right now, all I can think about is revenge!"
A hint of worry flashed in Prince Xuexing's eyes as he advised, "Your Majesty, you must consider the greater good! You must not sacrifice the entire empire for a moment of anger!"
"I know!"
Emperor Xueye let out a deep breath, but his eyes were misty as he forced a smile and said, "Chenfeng, now tell me your plans."
Chen Feng nodded and said, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Qian Renxue and her daughter Bibi Dong do not have a harmonious relationship. Perhaps we can start from there. Furthermore, I have also learned a little-known secret: the death of the previous Pope, Qian Xunji, was related to Bibi Dong!"
"Oh?"
Inside the room, everyone was stunned. Wasn't Qian Xunji severely injured by Tang Hao and then died? Could there be some other secret behind this?
Chen Feng said, "Yes, this news was told to me by the great Asura God. As a level 100 god, nothing that happens in this world can escape his eyes."
Chen Feng then pinned the matter on the Asura God. Otherwise, how could he explain knowing secrets that even the big shots from all sides were unaware of?
This method has proven effective time and again.
"What exactly is the inside story?" everyone pressed.
"It's true that Qian Xunji was severely injured by Tang Hao back then, but after returning to the Spirit Hall, it was Bibi Dong who poisoned him to death," Chen Feng said.
"oh--"
A gasp of surprise rippled through the room. Everyone looked at each other, utterly astonished that such a thing could happen.
"Doesn't Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, know about this? Why doesn't he avenge his son?" Dugu Bo asked in confusion.
Chen Feng shrugged and said, "Then I don't know."
From Qian Daoliu's perspective, perhaps it was out of guilt? After all, Qian Xunji had forcibly taken Bibi Dong back then.
Or perhaps, it's so that her granddaughter, Qian Renxue, can receive maternal love?
Furthermore, he admired Bibi Dong's talent and ambition, believing that the Spirit Hall could flourish even more under her leadership.
Who knows!
In short, Qian Renxue is currently unaware that Bibi Dong is the murderer of her father. It seems that Qian Daoliu only told her this during the Angel God's Trial.
If Chen Feng tells the truth, he might actually be able to sow discord between the Hall of Worship and Bibi Dong.
In any case, it's always necessary to give it a try. Even if we can't win over Qian Renxue, it's best to prevent her from colluding with Bibi Dong, and even more so, to prevent her from continuing to stay in the Heaven Dou Empire as Xue Qinghe.
Emperor Xueye was in a state of turmoil. The matter of Xue Qinghe had dealt him a heavy blow, and the fact that he could not kill Qian Renxue to avenge his son made him feel extremely resentful.
"I'm entrusting this matter to you to find Qian Renxue. No matter the outcome, I don't want to see her again, otherwise I really won't be able to resist killing her!" Emperor Xueye said to Chenfeng.
Chen Feng nodded. With Emperor Xue Ye's approval, he had essentially obtained a pass and could now proceed with this matter with peace of mind within the heavily regulated palace.
There was no time to lose. Now that he had decided to confront them, Chen Feng didn't want to delay any longer.
Immediately, Chen Feng led Yang Wudi and Dugu Bo out into the outside world.
The victory celebration banquet had ended, and it was already evening. The civil and military officials had long since returned home to rest.
Crown Prince Xue Qinghe naturally returned to his palace.
Stand tall with your head held high and stride confidently.
Chen Feng led Yang Wudi and Dugu Bo through numerous palace gates and courtyards to the Crown Prince's residence.
Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi were not known for their good tempers. When they learned that Xue Qinghe was actually the daughter of the previous Pope of the Spirit Hall, they showed no mercy. Before Chen Feng could remind them, they both kicked out at the same time.
"Bang!"
Both doors shattered simultaneously, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, instantly alerting a large number of guards who rushed over.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of heavily armed guards surrounded the three of them.
Even though the head of the guards knew Dugu Bo, they still did it, because their primary task was to protect the Crown Prince. Even if they were facing a Title Douluo, they would risk their lives to do it, even if they knew they were no match.
Chen Feng gave the two men a reproachful look and said helplessly, "Gentlemen, we were going to try to be polite first, but you came up and kicked the door down. Isn't that slapping them in the face? How can we talk like this?"
Dugu Bo snorted coldly and said, "If you ask me, there's no need to be polite to this spy. If we can talk, we can talk; if we can't, we can just kill her. We absolutely cannot let the enemy escape."
"oh!"
Chen Feng said expressionlessly, "When Qian Daoliu attacks, why don't you go and stop him?"
"I..." Dugu Bo shrugged, becoming hesitant and unable to speak.
Chen Feng sighed. Why bother arguing about such a short time? It's pointless.
He took a deep breath, channeling his soul power into his voice, and addressed Xue Qinghe's residence: "Where is His Highness the Crown Prince? Chen Feng has come to pay a visit!"
