Douluo: Awakening the Donghuang Bell Martial Soul at the Beginning

Chapter 40 Exposed
Three days later, the Spirit Hall learned the news of Emperor Xue Ye's death.

Qian Daoliu was sitting in the Elders' Hall at this time, feeling somewhat worried about Qian Renxue's safety.

Although Qian Renxue has been lurking in the Tiandou Palace for many years, she is not the real prince after all. Once her identity is discovered, there will be huge risks.

Therefore, he immediately issued orders to the spirit masters of the Spirit Hall lurking in the Tiandou Palace to protect Qian Renxue.

If it weren't for the Spirit Hall's plan, he would have gone to the palace to bring Qian Renxue back.

……

Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang, Prince Xuexing and Dugu Bo were discussing the matter of the new emperor at this time.

As for why Ning Fengzhi was not there, it was because he was the Prince's Grand Tutor.

Prince Xuexing is not on the side of the Crown Prince, and is more supportive of his nephew Xue Beng.

Xue Beng appears to be a playboy, but in fact he is keeping a low profile in order to protect himself.

Xue Beng is the fourth prince of the Tiandou Empire. There were two other princes before him who died for unknown reasons.

Prince Xuexing let him act like a dandy in order to protect him.

"Master, the reason we came to you this time is mainly because of the new emperor."

"The new emperor?"

"Yes, after His Majesty's death, the one who should have inherited his throne should have been Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, but... I have never liked my nephew."

"Not too fond of it?"

"Yes, in fact, your Majesty had two princes before him, but they died for unknown reasons."

"Do you suspect that the prince did it?"

"Ah."

Prince Snowstar nodded.

"But even if you don't let Xue Qinghe succeed to the throne, who else can inherit your majesty's position?"

"Fourth Prince Avalanche!"

"avalanche!"

After hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's expression darkened.

When they wanted to go to Royal Fighting Academy, it was because of Avalanche’s provocation that they didn’t go to the Royal Academy.

"Master, you are not still upset about what happened back then, are you?"

"No."

Yu Xiaogang shook his head.

"Actually, Xue Beng also wanted to protect himself, so he pretended to be a playboy."

"I see."

"I know you have a good relationship with Ning Fengzhi. I came to you today because I hope you can stand on our side."

"Well... Prince, I just want to train my soul masters well and prepare for the war with the Spirit Hall."

Yu Xiaogang knew very well that this was a struggle between their imperial powers.

It would be fine if he stood in the right place, but if he stood in the wrong place, he would die without a burial place.

"Humph!"

Prince Xuexing snorted coldly and stood up from his chair.

"Okay, but you have to keep the avalanche secret for me, otherwise you know what will happen."

Yu Xiaogang nodded.

Seeing this, Prince Xuexing had no choice but to take Dugu Bo away.

"What master? He's nothing but a coward. I think without his disciple Tang San, he would be nothing."

After leaving Shrek Academy, Prince Xuexing said to Dugu Bo who was standing beside him.

"Since Yu Xiaogang is unwilling to join us, our top priority now is to find the person who poisoned him."

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three days, Prince Xuexing tried every possible way to investigate the case.

But no matter how hard he investigated, he could not find any evidence that Xue Qinghe had poisoned him.

What's worse is that Xue Qinghe joined forces with other ministers to put pressure on him.

After all, a country cannot live without a king for a day.

Two more days passed, and Prince Xuexing still hadn't found the murderer.

In the Tiandou Imperial Palace.

At this time, Xue Qinghe and other ministers were asking Prince Xuexing how to find the real culprit.

"Uncle, you said before that you could find the murderer who poisoned my father within seven days. What's going on now?"

"Humph!"

Prince Snow Star snorted coldly.

“I haven’t found it yet.”

"Oh, so if I can't find the real murderer, then I will never ascend the throne?"

"No, it's just that seven days is too tight. Please give me another five days."

"What if it's still not found after five days?"

"Then I will let you ascend the throne!!"

"Okay, then I'll give you another five days." Then, Prince Xuexing left the palace and found Dugu Bo.

"Dugu Bo, tell me honestly, do you have any way of knowing what kind of poison this is?"

Dugu Bo shook his head.

If he knew what kind of poison it was, it would be impossible for him to be unable to detoxify it.

"What should we do then? Should we really give the throne to the crown prince?"

"Although I don't know what kind of poison this is, I do have a way to let Avalanche take over."

"any solution?"

"Assassinate the prince."

"No, he is my nephew after all, and it's not that easy to assassinate him in the palace."

"The assassination I'm talking about is not a real assassination, but a fake assassination."

"Fake assassination?"

"Don't you suspect him?"

"We can use illusions or hallucination-inducing poisons to make him confess."

"Hallucinogenic poison?"

"There's a powder made from mushrooms."

"I see."

……

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these five days, everything was peaceful.

In the Tiandou Imperial Palace.

Prince Xuexing had already arrived at the hall at this time.

He still couldn't find any evidence that Xue Qinghe had poisoned him.

"How's it going, uncle? Have you found the murderer who poisoned my father?"

"No."

Prince Xuexing shook his head.

"In that case, uncle, I think you have no objection this time."

"No."

Xue Qinghe smiled.

At this time, Prince Xuexing waved his right sleeve forward.

A stream of white powder flew out from the sleeve and fell towards Xueqing River.

Xue Qinghe was caught off guard and the white powder was sprinkled directly on his body.

"My Lord, what do you want to do?"

A minister under Xue Qinghe said angrily.

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask him something."

"Ask him something?"

"That powder is a kind of powder that can cause hallucinations."

"Hallucinogenic!"

"Why do you want to do this?"

"I just want to know the truth."

Xue Qinghe, who was drugged by the hallucinogenic powder, found himself back in Wuhun City and also saw "Qian Daoliu".

"grandfather!"

Xue Qinghe's shouting immediately attracted the attention of all the ministers.

"Grandfather? Didn't your grandfather die a long time ago?"

"Yes."

"Grandpa, why did I come back to the Spirit Hall?"

"Martial Soul Palace!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the ministers changed drastically.

Xue Qinghe said returning to the Spirit Hall?

At this moment, Xue Qinghe's prince was under serious suspicion.

"Martial Soul Palace!"

Prince Xuexing was also shocked by Xue Qinghe's words.

At this moment, two people among the ministers suddenly rushed out, grabbed Xue Qinghe by one hand, and ran away.

Xue Qinghe also suddenly woke up at this moment.

Xue Qinghe looked at the two people beside him and immediately remembered that Prince Xuexing had just sprinkled powder on "him".

"What just happened?"

"You just mentioned the Spirit Hall."

After seeing this, Prince Xuexing immediately ran out of the hall and asked the guards to chase after him.
