Chapter 94: Storm is Coming

Chapter 94: Storm is Coming

The competition ended, and all the soul masters who came to watch left.

As time passed, the old emperor was on his deathbed, and the candle of life flickered on his sickbed, and he could die at any time.

The entire Tiandou City seemed to be shrouded in an invisible haze. The streets and alleys were no longer as noisy as before. People seemed to be able to sense something, and they were all in a hurry, their eyes full of worry and uneasiness.

Many unfamiliar faces appeared in Tiandou City, and they had surrounded the entire palace.

Xue Ye had been struggling in the vortex of power in the palace since he was a child, and his mind was extremely sharp. He had already noticed the changes in Tiandou City, and his uneasiness was even greater.

"Your Highness, recently, I have discovered that many soul masters have sneaked into Tiandou City. I'm afraid it's not a good thing."

Ge Long's eyes were deep, with an unprecedented solemnity in his eyes.

Xue Ye came back to his senses from his worries. "Come on, follow me into the palace."

He was extremely anxious at the moment. For some reason, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness driving him to go to his father's bedroom immediately.

However, when he hurriedly arrived outside the bedroom, he was blocked by the guards like an iron wall. The leader was Captain Ye, who knelt on one knee and said in a voice that left no room for doubt.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to enter without permission."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ye's brows furrowed immediately, and he raised his hand to signal Ge Long not to be anxious. He suppressed his uneasiness, stared at Captain Ye with a cold gaze, and asked: "Even this prince is not allowed?"

"Now that my father is seriously ill, as the crown prince, don't I even have the right to visit him?"

Captain Ye did not dare to look at Xue Ye, lowered his head, and repeated: "Your Highness, I am just following orders."

"Humph, how bold, I think you are clearly planning a rebellion!"

Ge Long snorted angrily, drew the sword at his waist, pointed at Captain Ye, and said angrily: "Get out of the way, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword!!"

Kaka!!

The guards formed a battle formation in an instant, and their momentum rose immediately, which was no less than Ge Long.

Captain Ye looked sharp and asked in a deep voice, "Your Highness, are you going to rebel against the order?"

"General Gelong, you must not be rude."

Xue Ye scolded, stretched out his hand to press Gelong's sword, and signaled him not to be impulsive.

Gelong snorted coldly and put away his sword.

But the guards did not disperse the battle formation, and the golden sword pointed diagonally.

Xue Ye's eyes flickered, and he looked at Captain Ye for a moment. Seeing that the other party did not dare to look at him, he became more certain of his guess.

"In this case, this prince will not disturb my father's rest."

After saying that, Xue Ye turned and left with Gelong.

Xue Xing walked out of the darkness, staring at Xue Ye's back as he left, with a playful smile on his lips.

"Everything is as planned, big brother, I want to see how long you can endure."

Bone Douluo stood on the roof of the bedroom. Beside him were Ning Fengzhi, Gu Han and Bibi Dong.

"Junior brother, I feel like we are the villains now."

Gu Han smiled and said, "Be more confident, senior sister, remove the word 'like', we are the villains now."

"Brother Gu is really humorous." Ning Fengzhi chuckled.

Gu Han smiled slightly, but did not say anything.

After a while, he said, "Xue Ye has already noticed the soul master army in the city. With his cautious character, he will definitely order people to dispatch more troops to besiege the city. Master and Bishop She Long have already ambushed on the main roads outside the city. No one can get through."

"Brother Gu, aren't you afraid that Xue Ye will not come?" Ning Fengzhi looked into the distance, with an inexplicable light in his eyes.

"No, as long as the old emperor is in our hands, Xue Ye will be unable to enter for a long time, and he will definitely lead his troops to force his way in."

Gu Han's eyes were deep, and it was impossible to see his heart clearly.

"Unless he doesn't want the throne anymore."

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi said nothing, just closed his eyes and rested.

"Your Highness, how could His Majesty issue such an edict? There must be something fishy about it."

After leaving the palace, Ge Long followed Xue Ye with a brisk pace.

"I know."

Xue Ye suppressed his anger, and the figure of his fourth brother Xue Xing flashed through his mind.

His brother was ambitious and had coveted the throne for a long time. Now that his father was seriously ill, it was the best and last opportunity for him to seize the throne.

The soul master in this city must be Xue Xing who colluded with certain forces, controlled his father's bedroom, and falsely passed on the imperial edict to stop him.

Thinking of this, Xue Ye's heart was even darker, and he immediately sent someone to Xue Xing's mansion in secret.

Not long after, the person sent hurried back.

"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince is not in the palace. No one in the palace knows where the Fourth Prince is."

This news was like a huge stone thrown into Xue Ye's already restless heart, stirring up thousands of waves.

He was completely convinced of his guess and no longer had a fluke mentality.

"When... could it be during the competition..."

His spies were almost all over the palace, and his fourth brother was able to quietly control his father's bedroom without his knowledge.

He guessed that the other party was most likely to complete this series of measures during the competition when his mind was not completely focused on the palace.

Xue Ye returned to his residence and paced back and forth in the courtyard. His mind was like lightning, constantly weighing the pros and cons.

Before that, he had secretly ordered Ge Long to mobilize 3,000 elite soldiers into the city. They were now hiding in the dark of Tiandou City, waiting for his dispatch at any time.

In addition, he also controlled the 5,000 imperial guards of Tiandou City, which was undoubtedly a powerful force.

With this power, he had enough confidence to break into his father's bedroom and expose Xue Xing's scheme.

However, what made him hesitate was that he didn't know how many soul masters under Xue Xing were masters of the Soul Master level or above.

Soul masters have extraordinary power. A powerful soul master is enough to match hundreds of ordinary soldiers.

If they act rashly and fall into the ambush set by Xue Xing in advance, these 8,000 soldiers will be in a desperate situation.

In this way, not only will they fail to save their father, but they will also fall into an irretrievable situation.

On the one hand, they want to save their father and defend their throne, and on the other hand, they are deeply afraid of unknown forces. Xue Ye was caught in a dilemma for a while.

He frowned, his eyes were full of entanglement and struggle. Every time he stopped and started again, the balance in his heart was always swaying.

Ge Long stood quietly by the side, watching Xue Ye pacing back and forth with a tangled expression, and he was also very worried.

He knew Xue Ye's thoughts at the moment, and he also understood that the situation could not be delayed any longer.

After hesitating for a moment, Ge Long took a step forward, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, the situation is critical now and there is no room for hesitation. Xue Xing openly forged an imperial edict to prevent Your Highness from visiting His Majesty. His wolfish ambitions are obvious."

"Your Highness has elite troops at his disposal. If you do not act decisively at this time, once Xue Xing completes his rebellion, the consequences will be disastrous."
