"How do you manage this? How dare you let someone like this in?"
The captain kept his head down, not daring to show any dissatisfaction.
Because today's matter is just too big, big enough to shatter the heavens of Tiandou City.
"Let me see who this madman is. I'm going to ransack his house."
Huang Niu Hun Sheng did not continue to blame the guard captain, as this was not a matter that a mere captain like him could handle.
The captain obeyed orders and carefully examined the burly man in the pit. After a moment's recollection, he finally recognized him.
“Manager Niu Shan, this looks like Taino from the Power Clan.”
Niu Shan frowned and pondered for a moment, then nodded.
With that Hercules Titan, who was at the level of a Contra Douluo, the Power Clan was quite famous in Tiandou City. Niu Shan remembered it as soon as he heard the name.
However, there was one thing that puzzled Niu Shan, and his honest face was full of confusion.
"Judging from the appearance of that martial spirit just now, it does resemble the Mighty Ape of the Power Clan."
"But I remember that old gorilla's family didn't have much money, so how did Taino end up here?"
Although the Power Clan undertakes some blacksmithing business in Tiandou City, it's only enough for their own consumption. Where would they get spare money to spend in the biggest money pit in the entire empire?
The captain of the guard patrols Brilliant Street all day long and is much more well-informed. As soon as he heard Niu Shan's words, he immediately responded.
"Manager, it's normal that you don't know since you've been cultivating these past few days. Another sect is about to be established next to Tiandou City."
"The sect leader is the grandson of the Longevity Douluo, the grandson-in-law of the Poison Douluo, and the one known as the Medicine King and the number one genius on the continent, Mu Ci."
"Since the establishment of the sect was entrusted to His Highness the Crown Prince and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Power Clan also received a batch of orders from the Seven Treasure Merchant Guild and made a lot of money."
The captain didn't continue speaking, but Niu Shan learned the whole story.
"Alright, we can't handle this. Quickly send someone to inform His Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Xuexing. We need to be fast."
Upon hearing this, the captain of the guards immediately began directing his team to inform the Crown Prince's residence and the Prince's residence.
Meanwhile, in the shadowy corner of a rooftop across the street, a figure quietly disappeared.
Chapter 74 Snow Star's Wrath
Snapped--
"Say it again, what's wrong with an avalanche!"
The magnificent tea set was smashed to the ground. Prince Xuexing suddenly stood up, his wrinkled old face contorted with bulging veins, looking terrifying and ferocious.
The armored guards buried their heads in the carpet of the hall, not daring to meet Prince Xuexing's gaze even for a moment.
"Prince Avalanche was attacked by Taino of the Power Clan on Glorious Avenue and died on the spot."
"Supervisor Niu Shan arrived immediately, but still couldn't save Prince Xue Beng. The culprit Tai Nuo was apprehended on the spot and is now being held in the Brilliant Street Jail."
After repeatedly confirming the news of the avalanche deaths with his guards, Prince Xuexing finally faced the truth.
At this moment, Prince Xuexing was no longer angry, his face was no longer ferocious, and he slumped weakly on the sofa.
With his help, his nephew disguised himself as an incompetent prince and a spoiled brat. Even Xue Qinghe didn't see through him and let him do as he pleased.
But Prince Xuexing never expected that Xue Beng would not die in the infighting within the royal family, but instead die in a place of pleasure.
Prince Xuexing found this utterly ridiculous, laughing at the fact that he, at his age, could witness such a laughable farce.
There was silence.
The guard lay prostrate on the ground for a long time before finally asking, "Your Highness, what should we do next? Should we surround the Power Clan?"
Upon hearing the guard's question, Prince Xuexing finally snapped out of his daze of disbelief.
The Clan of Power? Yes! The Clan of Power!
Reminded by the guard, Prince Xuexing's anger rose once again.
However, this time he appeared very calm and spoke to the kneeling guards.
"Go and inform His Majesty Bilin that I have something to discuss with him at the gates of the Power Clan, an important matter of repaying a favor."
Watching the guards leave quickly, Prince Xuexing muttered to himself.
“My dear nephew, slow down. I’ll send Titan to accompany you. It’s worth it to have a Contra to die with you.”
As he spoke, Prince Xuexing walked outside.
-
Dugu Mansion.
At this moment, only Dugu Bo was drinking and admiring the moon in the inner courtyard of the Dugu Mansion.
Since being cured of the poison, he no longer needs to go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well from time to time.
Aside from his routine cultivation, he spent his days either drinking and admiring flowers in the manor or going to see Ye Renxin for the same pleasures. His life couldn't be more carefree.
The main reason is that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well has already been transformed into a training ground by Mu Ci and Dugu Yan, and as an elder, he doesn't want to disturb the relationship between the younger generation.
Why not just stay home and enjoy life? We've suffered for decades, what's wrong with taking a break?
At this moment, the steward hurried over and said to Dugu Bo, "Master, Prince Xuexing has sent someone to ask you to go to the gate of the Li Clan to discuss something."
Dugu Bo's leisurely demeanor as he sipped his wine vanished, and he frowned as he looked at the butler, asking, "Did he say anything?"
Mu Ci is now very close to Xue Qinghe, and it's really not appropriate for him to have any further dealings with Prince Xue Xing.
But since Dugu Bo still owed someone a favor, some things are really hard to calculate.
"The person who came did not explain the specifics, only that it was an important matter of repaying a favor."
Upon hearing that it was about repaying a favor, Dugu Bo immediately stood up from the recliner, his expression both solemn and somewhat relieved.
The somber mood stemmed from the fact that Prince Xuexing would not use this favor unless something truly momentous happened; the relief came from the fact that this favor was finally being repaid.
Dugu Bo thought to himself: I hope you old bastard Xue Xing have some brains and don't put me in a dilemma, otherwise I won't repay this favor.
He knew a little about Prince Xuexing and the avalanche, but he hadn't cared or wanted to get involved before.
But now he just hopes that Xue Qinghe won't be involved, because he really can't help him if that happens.
"Are you sure the person who came here was referring to the entrance of the Power Clan?"
I confirmed the location with the housekeeper again and received a positive answer.
Dugu Bo unleashed his soul power, propelling himself into the sky and flying straight towards the territory of the Power Clan hundreds of meters above the ground.
Although Heaven Dou City is large, it is only a matter of moments before a Title Douluo can arrive there.
However, when Dugu Bo landed, he found that the entire territory of the Power Clan had been surrounded by thousands of armored soldiers.
There were also some royal retainers of the Soul Saint level whom he knew present, looking ready for battle.
Not only was Prince Xuexing present, but even Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, who had been extremely busy lately, was there.
Dugu Bo landed with a puzzled look on his face and looked at the two people with the highest status present.
"What's going on today? How come the Power Clan is surrounded, and you two are even here?"
Xue Qinghe's face was solemn, but he showed little grief over the deaths caused by the avalanche.
After all, Xue Beng had always avoided Xue Qinghe, and the two of them really didn't have much interaction. Even if they were pretending, they couldn't pretend too much.
It is enough to show a little anger at the fact that a member of the royal family was attacked and killed in the street.
"It is better for Your Majesty to hear about this matter from your royal uncle, as my knowledge is not comprehensive."
Xue Qinghe looked at Dugu Bo with a solemn expression and pointed to Prince Xue Xing, whose face was even more gloomy than his.
Prince Xuexing glanced at Xue Qinghe out of the corner of his eye.
Although today's events had absolutely nothing to do with Xue Qinghe, the person in front of him had a criminal record, so he couldn't help but glance at him subconsciously.
However, now that Xue Beng is dead, there's no point in saying anything, and Prince Xue Xing doesn't intend to argue with Xue Qinghe any further on this matter.
“Your Majesty, Avalanche was killed in broad daylight by Taino of the Power Clan on Glorious Avenue. I wish to use my personal connections to save the life of Titan, the patriarch of the Power Clan, so that my nephew may be sent on his way.”
Dugu Bo was somewhat frightened by Prince Xuexing's words.
Someone actually attacked and killed a prince in the streets of the capital! That's incredibly audacious!
However, Dugu Bo didn't take it to heart. It was just an avalanche; if someone died, they died.
"Alright, it's just Titan. I agree to this. After today, we'll call it even."
If it were Dugu Bo before he was cured of the poison, he might have been more wary of Hercules Titan.
After all, the four affiliated families of the Clear Sky Sect all follow the extreme path, and all their spirit rings are added in one direction.
The Power Clan follows a pure power route, and in this respect alone, they are absolutely no less powerful than any Title Douluo of the Power Attack type below level 93.
However, for Dugu Bo now, a small Titan is a piece of cake.
Just then, the commotion outside finally woke Titan from his cultivation.
The main gate of the compound swung open from the inside with a loud bang.
Titan looked at the heavily armed soldiers at the entrance and the retainers outside the royal carriage, his face darkening, and he spoke.
"I don't know what my Power Clan has done to warrant the troop deployment to surround our encampment."
"I would like to ask the person in charge to come out and explain things to me."
Chapter 75 Titan
At this moment, Xue Qinghe and Prince Xue Xing, surrounded by the crowd, walked out of the army and arrived not far from Titan.
Looking at Titan, whose hair was gray and whose body was burly, Xue Qinghe said coldly.
"Chief Titan, are you aware that your son, Taino, went to Glorious Street?"
Titan immediately recognized the person in front of him as Xue Qinghe, the most renowned and refined prince of Tiandou City.
Titan felt increasingly uneasy that the Crown Prince would come to surround his family's residence with his army during the middle of the night, a time when the prince should have been resting.
Titan hesitated for a moment when faced with Xue Qinghe's question, but still nodded.
