Tian Meng was not in a hurry. She had enough mental strength and she was free anyway.
While manipulating the ice to lay the foundation, she asked, "Bingbing, how do you think my control over ice is going?"
Bingdi raised his eyelids and said calmly, "Normally."
Although Tianmeng's control over ice attribute is far from the eyes of Bingdi, she is already the strongest among the ice silkworm clan. Other ice silkworms only have ice attribute, and can only crawl on the snow, and their only skill is simulation.
Bingdi held up a finger and said, "Do you need my help? It only takes a few seconds to transform into the appearance you want."
Tian Meng decisively rejected her: "Woo wow - no no, that would be meaningless."
Xue Di did not join in the playfulness of Tian Meng and Bing Di, but asked: "Yu Hao, are you thinking that you are also qualified to sit on this chair?"
“If the Xu family members just sit there and do nothing, then don’t blame others for pulling them down.” Huo Yuhao snorted.
"In troubled times, the capable will rule the country."
His tone was extremely cold, filled with contempt for the Sun and Moon royal family, and it seemed that it wouldn't be long before what he said would become a reality.
The Ice Emperor paused and said, "I think I know why you want to leave your homeland Xingluo and come to the Sun-Moon Empire."
Huo Yuhao was stunned. He didn’t expect Ice Emperor to suddenly say this: “Why?”
Bingdi replied: "Because you were born to rebel. If you stay in Xingluo, you will be unable to do what you want for various reasons."
"After coming to Sun Moon, you don't have so many concerns. Anyway, there is no one in the Sun Moon Royal Family that you care about, right?"
Huo Yuhao fell into a brief silence after hearing this, and then revealed an intriguing smile on his face that was invisible to outsiders.
"Because it's easier to destroy something than to create it, and it's easier to rebel than to build, isn't it?"
"Let's go check on the health of the Sun and Moon Emperor."
After a while.
Outside the bedroom of Emperor Sun and Moon.
A powerful Titled Douluo slowly walked out of the bedroom.
The two guards waiting at the door immediately saluted respectfully: "My Lord Imperial Physician."
This Titled Douluo was dressed in a white robe, had white hair and a youthful face, a ruddy complexion, and a goatee. He was the imperial physician Douluo loyal to the Sun and Moon royal family, and he would come to the old emperor's bedroom every day to treat him.
Imperial Physician Douluo nodded slightly and whispered, "Your Majesty is feeling a little better today and has woken up, but he still needs to recuperate and take medicine on time."
"Except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who has important matters to report, please decline the greetings from the other princes."
The two guards did not doubt him and said respectfully, "As you command."
Imperial Physician Douluo nodded again and walked back to the Imperial Physician's Palace.
In fact, few people in the palace knew that he was already close to the crown prince. Every time, he would ask the old emperor to rest under the pretext of medical advice and refused to receive greetings from any prince other than the crown prince.
The third prince often came to pay his respects to his father, but was always turned away and returned empty-handed.
Inside the palace.
A skinny old man was half lying on a couch made of wood that was as valuable as rare metals.
He is the current emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire, Xu Tianran's father, and also the uncle who conspired with Cai Tou to usurp the throne.
Huo Yuhao had met him once at a royal banquet a few years ago, but at that time he was still in good health and could still perform. But now he couldn't even hold on.
He was awake, but his eyes were still half-closed and the skin on his face looked a little dry and dark yellow.
If outsiders saw him today, they would certainly not imagine that he was a ruthless usurper when he was young. They would only think that he was an ordinary old man who was about to die.
The old emperor paused and said in a hoarse voice: "What time is it?"
Someone beside him asked with concern: "Your Highness, are you finally feeling better?"
This person is actually a Titled Douluo, and judging by the badge on his chest, he is actually a ninth-level soul engineer.
Not only him, there are two ninth-level soul masters in the palace.
As the current nominal supreme ruler of the Sun-Moon Empire, the old emperor's safety is given the highest guarantees.
In his bedroom, three ninth-level soul masters were guarding day and night, and he was also equipped with several large-range ninth-level defensive soul guides.
The old emperor's body can no longer withstand the torture, so even the aftermath of the battle will be completely blocked by these ninth-level defensive soul guides.
If there is an outsider intending to assassinate, the priests in the nearby worship hall will rush over at any time.
These three ninth-level soul masters are the most trusted confidants of the old emperor. They made great contributions in the process of seizing power and are the most trusted subordinates of the old emperor.
The old emperor panted for a while on the couch, and said with a weak breath: "I feel...I am really about to die."
The ninth-level soul instructor's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that your dragon body has begun to improve. You see, you are awake, aren't you?"
The old emperor wanted to shake his head, but at this moment he couldn't even do it: "I know my body best. I'm afraid I won't survive this winter."
Another ninth-level soul master also advised: "Your Majesty, please stop talking."
The old emperor continued, "I have seen this day coming, but I still have one very important thing to do. I can only entrust it to the three of you."
The three of them said in unison: "Your Majesty, please speak."
The old emperor tried hard to open his eyes and slowly turned his head to the three people: "Has the Soul Master Competition started?"
One person answered: "Yes, today is the second day."
The old emperor said: "After the Soul Master Competition is over, we will hold the abdication ceremony and pass the throne to Tianran."
The old emperor's decision stunned the three strong men.
"Your Majesty, have you really decided?"
The old emperor said weakly: "There are no Sun or Purple Brilliant Heavenly Dragon Souls worth cultivating in other side branches. The third and fifth brothers are far less capable than Tianran, and their character and methods are far inferior to his. They can pose no threat to Tianran at all."
"I believe that Tianran will definitely lead the Sun-Moon Empire to complete its mission, allowing the light of the sun and moon to illuminate the entire continent and fulfill the lifelong wish of my ancestors."
When he said this, a light suddenly burst out from the old man's cloudy eyes.
But soon, the light in his eyes dimmed: "But before that, there is one thing I can't let go of."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
The old emperor said: "Tian Ran's character is very similar to my own when I was young, but I am old now and I don't want to see my children killing each other."
"I hope that after he succeeds to the throne, he will not kill the third and fifth brothers."
The three ninth-level soul masters were all silent.
The old emperor was able to usurp the throne because he colluded with the Holy Spirit Cult to massacre the palace and kill his brother. The three of them also played a role in this.
But now, he actually hopes that his sons will not kill each other.
Finally, a ninth-level soul master spoke up: "Your Majesty, rest assured. After the crown prince ascends the throne, he will naturally not attack the third and fifth princes for the sake of his image as a benevolent monarch. We will also coordinate secretly."
After receiving the affirmation from his confidant, the old emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with satisfaction: "Haha, that's good. Alas, there's also that girl Tian Zhen. I haven't seen her appearance for a long time."
When mentioning the innocent princess mentioned by the old emperor, the three ninth-level soul masters also showed a relaxed smile.
Naturally, there is no need to worry about this princess, as her father and her brothers have spoiled her since she was a child.
The old emperor seemed to be in better condition, and began to chat about past memories with the three ninth-level soul mentors.
However, they were completely unaware that their conversation was heard by an uninvited guest outside the bedroom.
Huo Yuhao was leaning outside the bedroom, having arrived after the Imperial Physician Douluo left.
He tried to control his meticulous mental power to perform detection and eavesdrop on the conversation between the old emperor and his three confidants. Not far away from him, the two guards were completely unaware.
Xue Di asked: "It seems that everything doesn't need to be so complicated. If you simply want to assassinate him, you can do it now."
Huo Yuhao shook his head: "There are too many powerful defensive soul guides here, even spiritual defense soul guides. I don't think even if you and Ice Emperor come together, you may not be able to do it."
Suddenly, he smiled and walked out of the bedroom.
"Want to succeed the throne? I don't think it's possible."
Just when he had left a short distance, an extremely powerful aura suddenly emanated from the previously pitch-black area in the imperial city.
Huo Yuhao was very familiar with this aura.
Extreme Douluo? He is the Supreme Leader of the Holy Spirit Cult!
The other party seemed to have discovered his mental detection in an instant, and his extremely powerful mental power swept towards him.
Huo Yuhao immediately put away his mental detection, and the figure in the simulation was no longer hidden, but quietly changed, revealing a tall and dark figure.
He looks like a direct descendant of the Sun and Moon royal family, and there are many people in the imperial city who look like him.
An old man beside her frowned and said, "That's my royal descendant, Ye Xishui, don't bully the weak."
Only then did Ye Xishui dispel his doubts, put away his terrifying mental power, and smiled.
Chapter 333 Kong Deming
The Imperial Palace of the Sun and Moon Empire, the Worship Hall.
This is where many offerings of the Sun and Moon Royal Family are made, and it is also the most powerful force controlled by the Sun and Moon Royal Family.
The Sun Moon Empire was founded on soul guides, so naturally most of the people worshipped in the palace were high-level soul guides, and there were also a few major soul guides. The soul guides who could enter the royal worship hall were at least level eight.
This worship hall is also the only area in the palace that has not been detected by Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection.
At this moment, in the luxurious and noble hall of the Worship Hall, Ye Xishui was sitting in front of a long table, and on the other side of the long table were several senior soul instructors.
The few of them kept calm tacitly, and the senior soul masters were staring at Ye Xishui with fearful and vigilant eyes.
Ye Xishui was still wearing a dark red cloak, so her true face could not be seen. She stretched out her right hand, and her slender fingers with sharp dark red nails twisted in boredom.
I don’t know how many people died on her hand. Her nails seemed to have been slowly dyed red with blood over the past hundred years.
The Supreme Leader of the Holy Spirit Church, one of the only two Ultimate Douluo masters left on the continent, seemed a little restrained in the royal worship hall of the Sun-Moon Empire, as if he was afraid of something.
She and the other priests were waiting for someone.
Ye Xishui was playing with her nails out of boredom while thinking about her son and the news that the Holy Spirit Sect leader Zhongli Wu had told her yesterday.
It seems that the Holy Spirit Church is really being targeted in secret, and the people targeting them are a mysterious Northern family, which has many Titled Douluo powerhouses, and even one is an Ultimate Douluo.
What is even more shocking is that these Titled Douluo all have the terrifying ultimate ice attribute.
Even with Ye Xishui's temperament and strength as an Extreme Douluo, she couldn't help but be surprised when she heard the news. She had been traveling on the continent for more than a hundred years, and she had never heard of such a powerful force in the wasteland of the Far North.
