Douluo V: I was reborn as a snake. It makes sense to have many children and more blessings.

In the magnificent meeting hall of the imperial palace, a minister dressed in luxurious court robes, Lord Gu, was listening to Xue Qinghe's statement with a frown on his face.

There was an unusual light flashing in Xue Qinghe's eyes, and his voice was low and firm, as if carrying an irresistible force.

"Master Gu, the hidden families you mentioned do have considerable influence in the city. We have all heard of their existence. However, although these families usually keep a low profile, their ambitions and desires have never really subsided."

Xue Qinghe spoke slowly, his voice revealing a hint of unquestionable majesty.

Lord Gu nodded slightly, seeming to agree with Xue Qinghe's words, but he still had doubts: "But Prince, although these families have some plans, they have always abided by the rules and have never done anything out of line. Are the unknown forces you mentioned really related to them?"

Xue Qinghe took a deep breath, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes: "Master Gu, that was the situation in the past. Do you know that the soul beast that broke free from the ancient seal is now missing?"

When Lord Gu heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

The legend of that soul beast has long been widely circulated in the city.

According to legend, it possesses endless power and can control the elements of heaven and earth, which makes people feel awe. But what is more worrying is that its appearance is often accompanied by disaster and chaos.

"The appeal of that soul beast is far beyond our imagination." Xue Qinghe continued, "Now that its whereabouts are unknown, those hidden families may have smelled the opportunity. They may be secretly planning something, trying to use the power of this soul beast to realize their own ambitions."

Upon hearing this, Lord Gu's expression became even more solemn.

He knew very well that once those hidden families really obtained the power of soul beasts, the pattern of the entire continent would undergo earth-shaking changes.

By then, not only the status of the royal family will be threatened, but also the peace and tranquility of the entire continent will be in jeopardy.

"Crown Prince, how should we respond?" Lord Gu asked in a deep voice.

Xue Qinghe smiled slightly, with a gleam of confidence in his eyes: "Master Gu, I have a plan. The first thing we need to do is to strengthen the city's security to prevent those hidden families from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos. At the same time, we must find the whereabouts of the soul beast as soon as possible and seal it up again to prevent future troubles."

Lord Gu nodded and agreed with Xue Qinghe's plan.

He knew very well that although the young prince was young, he possessed extraordinary wisdom and courage.

Under his leadership, the royal family will surely be able to overcome this crisis and safeguard the peace and tranquility of the entire continent.

When the others saw that Mr. Gu, who was in charge of intelligence, was convinced by Xue Qinghe, they also nodded.

Emperor Xue Ye sat on the dragon throne inlaid with gems, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring at the Xueqing River below.

The previous discussion passed quietly like a breeze. At this moment, only Emperor Xue Ye's calm and inquiring voice echoed in the entire hall.

"Qinghe, what exactly is the opportunity you mentioned? Can you tell me in detail?"

The voice of Emperor Xue Ye echoed in the empty hall, like the cold wind on the top of a snowy mountain, sharp and clear.

Xue Qinghe nodded slightly, his eyes gleaming with the light of wisdom, as if he had already seen through the mysteries of all this.

He spoke slowly, his voice full of confidence and determination: "Father, the opportunity I mentioned is actually a carefully designed strategy. You know, in those hidden sects, there are always some family members who are eager to restore the glory of their family and to be recognized and protected by the royal family."

He paused, as if thinking about how to express his thoughts more accurately.

Then, he continued, "We can use the desires of these family members and, through the recognition and support of the royal family, allow them to disintegrate the hidden family from within. This is like quietly planting a fire in an indestructible fortress. With just a slight touch, it can set off a prairie fire."

There was a gleam of approval in Emperor Xue Ye's eyes, as if he had seen the tremendous changes brought about by this strategy.

He nodded gently, his voice full of expectation: "Qinghe, you are indeed thoughtful. If this opportunity can be successfully implemented, it will be an earth-shaking change for the entire Tiandou Empire."

"Don't worry, father. I will try my best to find a breakthrough among these families as quickly as possible." Xue Qinghe smiled slightly. He knew that his strategy had been approved by his father.

Even though Qin Shou told him not to go through so much trouble, Xue Qinghe was still prepared to try to fight for that position through his own means.

The ministers present looked at Xue Qinghe's confident look, and many of them couldn't help but feel a little shaken.

After all, the crown prince had just lost his life in the chaos, and now the crown prince position is vacant.

Among the hidden families they were discussing, many had ancient heritage and had established inseparable ties with Qin Shou.

Among them, the two people sent by the Nalan family to contact Qin Shou had already arrived in Tiandou City.

"Nalan Xiong, can you confirm that what Yanran said is true?"

There was a hint of doubt in Bai Jing's voice. Her eyes were as clear as autumn water, but they concealed deep worry.

As the daughter-in-law of the Nalan family, she was sent abroad by the family this time. She knew that this was both a trust and a responsibility.

However, this long journey, except for occasional rest, most of the time was spent on horseback, and the fatigue and loneliness made her feel uncomfortable like a tide.

Nalan Xiong, the man who is about to become the helmsman of the family, frowned slightly, as if he was thinking.

His eyes were as deep as the night, sparkling with wisdom. He glanced at his wife who looked a little tired, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

Then he patted Bai Jing's shoulder gently, his voice firm and gentle: "Jing'er, I think what Yanran said is true. She has always been meticulous and would not speak without a purpose. Moreover, for this kind of thing, as long as you do a little investigation, the truth will be clear at a glance."

After hearing what Nalan Xiong said, Bai Jing felt a little more at ease.

She knew that her husband was not only extremely intelligent, but also steady and rarely made mistakes. She took a deep breath and tried to calm her slightly irritable mood.

After all, they have already arrived in Tiandou City. After tomorrow morning, they will be able to meet Qin Shou, the one who made Nalan Yanran's strength improve by leaps and bounds.
