I really am a Titled Douluo

Imperial Palace!

Xue Ye looked at Xue Qinghe, who had suddenly entered the great hall, and said with some surprise, "Qing He, why are you here? I don't recall summoning you."

Xue Qinghe bowed slightly, with utmost respect, "Qing He did not mean to disturb Father Emperor, but I am here because there is a matter for which I would like to seek your opinion."

Xue Ye stroked his nearly invisible beard, "Qing He, there's no need for such elaborate formalities between you and me, haven't I said this many times before?"

Although he said this, his face nevertheless showed a look of satisfaction...

Xue Qinghe remained impassive, "Yes, Father Emperor, I will keep that in mind for the next time!"

Xue Ye waved his hand dismissively, "Alright, there's no need to dwell on that. So, why have you come to see me?"

Xue Qinghe's expression became more serious, "Father Emperor, this matter is related to the upper three families and Martial Soul Hall!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Ye's brows furrowed slightly, "Hmm? Related to the upper three families and Martial Soul Hall? What do you mean, Qing He?"

A matter related to these two powers was definitely not simple!

It could even potentially implicate the royal household!

Xue Qinghe took a deep breath, "Father Emperor, it's like this, you should be aware of the assassination attempt on Xu Sheng by the upper three families, right?"

Xue Ye nodded affirmatively, "Hmm... You mentioned it when you returned, but what does that have to do with this matter?"

Xue Qinghe nodded in affirmation, "This matter is indeed related to Xu Sheng. The Hao Tian Clan on their side would like to meet him to resolve the conflict!!"

Xue Ye became even more puzzled, "If that's the case, it shouldn't really concern our royal household, should it?"

If the Hao Tian Clan wanted to resolve the conflict, they should go to Martial Soul Hall themselves!

Xue Qinghe pursed his lips, "That would be the case, but... the Hao Tian Clan hopes that I could facilitate the meeting, given that they know I am acquainted with Xu Sheng!"

Xue Ye's tone became urgent, "Qing He, have you agreed?"

Xue Qinghe bowed his head, "Hmm... I considered that if I didn't help Hao Tian Clan, the upper three families might bear a grudge against the royal household, affecting our relations!"

"Please forgive me, Father Emperor!"

Xue Ye sighed, his eyes carrying a hint of disappointment, "Qing He, you've been somewhat impulsive in this matter, agreeing to the request of Hao Tian Clan, no doubt entangling our royal household in their affairs!"

"If they are not truly seeking peace talks, but instead plan to take the opportunity to eliminate Xu Sheng, what do you think Martial Soul Hall would think?"

"Yes, Father Emperor, I understand. I will send someone to reject Hao Tian Clan's request later on!"

...

Yuan En Zhentian seconded, "Elder Ya'li is right. We might as well find a hotel to rest in within Lingbo City!"

His words immediately gained everyone's unanimous agreement...

Thereupon, they found a hotel in Lingbo City, booked two larger rooms, and quietly waited for nightfall...

...

Spirit Transmission Tower Branch, Lingbo City!

In the grand hall at the top level, several evil Soul Masters clad in black robes, possessing remarkable strength, were calmly sitting in their chairs...

And the one conversing with them was none other than a high-ranking official dressed in Spirit Pagoda attire, who also used to be one of Qiangugu Dongfeng's former subordinates!

What was strange is that, despite their identities, there was no hostility between them; on the contrary, the atmosphere was unusually harmonious...

Just then, a member of the Spirit Pagoda burst into the grand hall and bent down to say, "Reporting to all the sirs, based on the news obtained not long ago, Shrek Academy's people arrived in Lingwave City this afternoon!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately turned their attention to the speaker...

One of the evil Soul Masters furrowed his brows, "Shrek Academy? What are they doing in Lingwave City?"

The Spirit Pagoda member bowed his head, nervously speaking, "It is said that they have come to Lingwave City to purchase Rare Metals, but their specific purpose is unknown!"

Another evil Soul Master coldly said, "The people of Shrek Academy haven't set foot in Lingwave City for decades, and now they come with such fanfare. I fear it's not so simple!"

"Hmm, I remember that in these past few days, weren't there two traitors within the Spirit Pagoda who had made unauthorized contacts with the outside world? Perhaps it's related to them!"

"That's right, the delegation from Shrek Academy could have received their distress signals and come specifically to rescue them."

The high-ranking officials of the Spirit Pagoda, who had been silent up to this point, each wore an extremely ugly expression on their faces...

They began to speak one after another, "In my opinion, to be on the safe side, it's best to eliminate them all under the cover of night!"

"Exactly, if they really are here to rescue the detainees, certainly our information about the cooperation between our Spirit Transmission Tower Branch and your Cult will be exposed!"

"We're still not clear on the strength of Shrek Academy's delegation, so it's best not to act rashly!"

"Heh, the people of Shrek Academy are powerful, but don't forget that this is Lingwave City, our turf. Killing them would be a piece of cake!"

Practically the entire Lingwave City was already completely under their control, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was independent from the Dou Spirit Empire!

Moreover, with a large number of evil Soul Masters at their disposal, a few dozen people from Shrek Academy couldn't possibly turn the tables!

The leading evil Soul Master of Super Douluo Level pondered for a moment before ordering with an icy tone, "In that case, have the Spirit Pagoda branch dispatch some Soul Masters to join our people and wipe out these folks from Shrek Academy!"

The high-ranking officials of the Spirit Pagoda exchanged glances and immediately agreed...

Being able to lord over Lingwave City, they couldn't do without the terrifying strength of this Super Douluo in front of them!

Naturally, they wouldn't offend him over such a trifle!

...

Inside the hotel...

Yue Zhengyu watched as the sky dimmed and subconsciously covered his heart, "It's already evening, but I don't know why my heart keeps pounding as if something big is about to happen."

Yuanen Yehui spoke in a serious voice, "Indeed, ever since we moved into this hotel, I've felt like someone has been watching us in secret!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Lizhi said with some trepidation, "Could it be that this hotel is also related to the Spirit Pagoda and the Holy Spirit Cult?"

Ye Xinglan glanced at him and explained, "In simple terms, the entire Lingwave City is filled with eyes and ears from the Spirit Pagoda and the Holy Spirit Cult. One could say that it's no longer under the control of the Dou Spirit Empire!"

Xu Xiaoyan mumbled, "It's really baffling how the emperor of the Dou Spirit Empire thinks, such a large city could be covertly eroded to this state without noticing it at all!"

Gu Yue pursed her lips and replied, "Maybe it's not that they haven't noticed, but that Lingwave City brings considerable benefits to the Dou Spirit Empire, so they choose to turn a blind eye!"

Xu Xiaoyan curled her lip, "Hmph, that only shows that the emperor of the Dou Spirit Empire is short-sighted, actually collaborating with the Holy Spirit Cult!"

Then, looking at Tang Wulin she said, "Wulin, we have nothing to do staying in the hotel, why don't we..."

Before she could finish, Tang Wulin interrupted, "No, Elder Ya'li and Elder Yuanen have already left the hotel to investigate, let's stay here for now!"
