Chapter 184: Farewell to His Majesty

Tiandou City.

Ning Fengzhi and his party did not go to see Xue Qinghe immediately, but stayed in a hotel run by the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect and inquired about what had happened during this period.

After listening to the report, Ning Fengzhi's face showed an expression of "as expected".

Ning Fengzhi waved his hand, signaling the intelligence personnel to go down.

"I'm a little surprised that Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing were able to escape." Ning Fengzhi said with emotion.

"Maybe Xue Qinghe let him go." Ning Rongrong thought for a moment and said, "Based on the situation of Prince Xuexing and Xue Beng, their target of escape might be the Kingdom of Barak."

"Why is it the Kingdom of Barak?" Dugu Yan was puzzled.

Ning Rongrong explained: "Among the four kingdoms of the Tiandou Empire, the Barak Kingdom has the strongest military power. It can also be said to be the gateway to the Tiandou Empire. It borders the Xingluo Empire."

"Secondly, the king of the Barak Kingdom is the cousin of Emperor Xue Ye. If Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing want to accomplish something, the best way is to use the power of the Barak Kingdom."

"They want the Barak Kingdom to rebel?" Dugu Yan blinked.

"Maybe so." Ning Rongrong spread her hands, "The current policy of Xue Qinghe is not very friendly to the nobles."

"It's a matter of interest!" Ning Fengzhi sighed. "Speaking of which, Marshal Gelong led his troops to garrison in Fasno Province. Perhaps the reason he did not intend to deal with the Xing Luo Empire from the beginning was to restrict the Barak Kingdom and make them afraid to act rashly."

"None of this has anything to do with us." Ning Rongrong pondered for a while, "Given Qian Renxue's personality, Ge Long might not live long."

"Why?" Dugu Bo asked puzzledly.

Ge Long is one of the few grassroots counterattackers who was able to rise from a commoner to a marshal in the Tiandou Empire.

He himself has reached the level of Soul Douluo. Whether it is the cultivation of martial soul or the ability to command troops, Golong is second to none in the Tiandou Empire.

Even as a Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo has great respect for Marshal Ge Long.

"Ge Long was promoted by Emperor Xue Ye himself. The so-called favor of recognition..." Ning Rongrong did not continue.

"Is that so?" Dugu Bo sighed after hearing this, "Given his personality, it's possible."

Ning Fengzhi was about to speak.

"Button Button"

The knock on the door interrupted Ning Fengzhi's thoughts.

"Come in."

A man dressed in plain clothes and looking like a waiter walked quickly into the room.

"Master, Meng Shen Ji's teaching committee wants to see you."

"Okay, I understand." Ning Fengzhi nodded and motioned for the waiter to go out.

After the waiter left, he considerately closed the door.

"People from Xue Qinghe are here." Ning Rongrong raised the corner of her mouth.

"It's normal, right? We didn't deliberately hide our whereabouts when we came in, so it's not surprising that we were discovered. However, Meng Shenji... has he joined the Spirit Hall?"

Dugu Yan was no stranger to Mengshenji.

After all, he was a student who had studied in Tiandou Royal Academy for many years. It was a bit ridiculous that even the principal didn't know him.

At the beginning, when Ning Rongrong had a conflict with Xue Beng, she and her grandfather Dugu Bo appeared in front of Xue Beng's dormitory.

Led by Ning Fengzhi, the group walked out of the hotel.

Just arrived at the gate.

Meng Shenji stepped forward quickly.

He bowed respectfully to Ning Fengzhi, Gu Douluo, and Dugu Bo.

"Mr. Meng Shenji, what's the matter with you coming here so late?" After a brief greeting, Ning Fengzhi began to ask questions.

"Yes, His Highness Xue Qinghe invited Sect Master Ning to the palace for a talk about His Majesty Xue Ye." Meng Shenji looked anxious, but did not directly mention that Emperor Xue Ye had died suddenly.

"it is good."

Ning Fengzhi thought about it and did not refuse.

As for Xue Qinghe wanting to kill him, just think about it and you will know that it is impossible.

In his team, except for those at the level of Qian Daoliu, they could easily go to Douluo Continent. Qian Daoliu had fought with Tang Chen not long ago and both were injured. It was unclear whether he could recover now.

Besides, Jian Douluo has also learned the Ring Fusion skill. Although there is a high probability that he cannot beat Qian Daoliu in his fully victorious period, if he wants to catch Qian Daoliu by surprise and attack him when he is already injured, he is not completely without a chance of winning as long as he seizes the opportunity.

On the way to Tiandou Palace.

"Mr. Meng Shenji, I have something to ask you. Is it convenient?" In the silent night sky, a group of people walked quickly towards the palace, and Ning Rongrong's voice suddenly sounded.

"I wonder what you want to ask, Young Master Ning?"

"Are Prince Xuexing and His Highness Xuebeng also in the palace now?"

Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Meng Shenji's face changed slightly.

Then, he glanced at Ning Fengzhi and sighed, "The two of them left Tiandou City a day ago. As for where they went, I don't know."

"Besides that, Princess Xue Ke seems to have left as well."

"Xue Ke?"

"That's right." Meng Shenji nodded and looked at the white-haired girl. Hearing the familiar voice, he felt a little confused and uncertain, "I wonder who this is..."

"I am Dugu Yan! Meng Shen Ji Education Committee Member, long time no see."

"Alone... Alone Goose?"

Meng Shenji had a look of surprise on his face and looked back and forth at Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

Dugu Bo has green hair, which makes him look lush and green.

Dugu Yan has long silver-white hair that falls over her shoulders, which looks quite ethereal and natural.

Although their faces were similar, Meng Shenji just couldn't compare the woman in front of him with Dugu Yan, who used to have purple hair, aloof, and a somewhat gloomy aura.

"Sister Yanyan's martial spirit evolved unexpectedly, and her body also underwent some changes."

Ning Rongrong explained.

"So...so that's how it is." Meng Shenji suddenly realized. Since it involved martial soul, Meng Shenji did not ask any more questions.

"Did Princess Xue Ke voluntarily leave the capital with Xue Beng?"

Ning Rongrong changed the subject back.

"No." Captain Meng Shen sighed, "Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng took Princess Xue Ke away when they left. For this... His Highness Qinghe was very angry."

Meng Shenji actually didn't want to talk about the royal family's affairs, but these people in front of him were members of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, and Ning Fengzhi was Xue Qinghe's teacher, so even if he told them, Xue Qinghe probably wouldn't blame him.

Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing took Xue Ke away. What a bizarre operation. Could it be that Xue Beng wanted to use Xue Ke to threaten Xue Qinghe?
Qian Renxue treats Xue Ke nicely, perhaps because she sees her former self in Xue Ke.

But that doesn’t mean Xue Ke is that important to Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue), who has no blood relationship with her.

To be honest, Xue Qinghe might also be worried that one day Xue Ke would find out that he is Qian Renxue.

Kill his father and take over his business.

That would be a fight to the death!
"Mr. Meng Shenji, has His Majesty passed away?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

"This..." Meng Shenji hesitated to speak.

"Don't worry, Elder Jian has set up a barrier, and no one knows about it except us."

"Ah!" Seeing Ning Fengzhi say this, Captain Meng Shen sighed and replied, "Your Majesty passed away yesterday morning."

"It's just that His Highness asked us to keep the news a secret and discuss countermeasures after Sect Master Ning arrives."

"Did Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing also leave after His Majesty's death?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously.

"That's about right! Prince Xuexing took advantage of the time when His Highness blocked the news and took his men away from Tiandou City in the chaos."

"That's why His Highness didn't discover that Princess Xue Ke had been kidnapped."

Everyone communicated with Meng Shenji, and soon they entered the palace under his leadership and met Xue Qinghe whom they had not seen for many days.

Xue Qinghe looked haggard.

He was not as energetic as before, he looked sleep deprived, had dark circles under his eyes, and exuded a sad vibe.
