Chapter 210: Emperor Xueye's Conditions
A moment later, with a feeling of trepidation and anticipation, Tang San finally stepped into the solemn and magnificent palace, and once again met the legendary supreme ruler of the Tiandou Empire - Emperor Xue Ye.
"Tang San, I heard from Xue Xing that you have successfully broken through to the Titled Douluo realm? Ahem!!"
Before Emperor Xue Ye finished his words, he burst into a violent cough, as if he was going to cough out his lungs. His body was shaking, and his face instantly turned pale as paper. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and his originally majestic face was now filled with pain.
Seeing this, Tang San's heart tightened and his brows furrowed slightly.
He observed Emperor Xue Ye with keen eyes. Relying on his profound understanding of poisons in his previous life and the powerful perception ability cultivated in this life, he soon discovered that Emperor Xue Ye's facial features were extremely similar to the symptoms of poisoning.
This made him feel a little confused and worried.
"Your Majesty, I dare to ask, how long has your current illness lasted?"
Tang San took a deep breath and asked carefully.
Hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye raised his hand to wipe away the blood from the corner of his mouth, with a helpless smile on his face: "Alas, it's an old problem. Since the day Qinghe came to power, I have inexplicably contracted this strange disease. The imperial doctors in the palace racked their brains and tried all kinds of methods, but they were still helpless!"
Hearing what Emperor Xue Ye said, Tang San thought to himself: "This situation is indeed a bit tricky! It seems that things are far more complicated than imagined. If it is really caused by poisoning, then there may be a huge conspiracy behind it. Moreover, this matter may also implicate Xue Qinghe..."
Thinking of this, Tang San decided not to reveal his guess to Emperor Xue Ye for the time being.
After all, he came here to obtain resources, not to make enemies.
It is better to have less trouble than more. There is no need to cause yourself unnecessary trouble.
So, he just said calmly: "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. I believe you will be able to overcome the disease and recover soon."
"Hmph! If you ask me, big brother, your illness was definitely caused by that cruel beast! If he hadn't been secretly plotting and doing such a vicious thing, how could the second and third brothers have died? How could our royal family have become so extinct?" Prince Xuexing was furious when he thought of the past, with rage flashing in his eyes.
"enough!"
Emperor Xue Ye slammed the table and shouted angrily.
His majestic voice exploded in the air like thunder, and the whole room fell into deathly silence in an instant.
"There is no place for you to be so presumptuous here! Don't you think we haven't been embarrassed enough?"
Prince Xuexing was frightened by Emperor Xue Ye's sudden scolding. He stood there in a daze, opened his mouth, but could not say anything.
After a long while, he came back to his senses as if waking from a dream, and said timidly: "I won't say it."
Looking at Prince Xuexing's appearance, Emperor Xueye shook his head helplessly, then turned to look at Tang San on the side, and said apologetically: "Sorry, I made you laugh."
Hearing what Emperor Xue Ye said, Tang waved his hands hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, you are too polite. These are family matters, and it is inevitable that there will be some emotional moments." Emperor Xue Ye nodded slightly, and then said, "Speaking of which, I once had the honor of meeting your father. At that time, he was also a powerful man who shook the world. However, who could have expected that you would be better than your father, and at such a young age, you have successfully broken through to the realm of Titled Douluo. Such talent and talent are really rare in the world! However, it is a pity that the current Haotian Sect has long lost its former glory. As for your father, the powerful Haotian Douluo, no one knows where he is. From now on, you have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the sect. The road ahead is long and arduous!"
After saying this, Emperor Xue Ye couldn't help but let out a long sigh, with a hint of emotion and worry in his eyes.
Hearing this, Tang San couldn't help but be slightly startled, with a little surprise on his face, but he soon returned to normal. He clasped his hands together, bowed respectfully to Emperor Xue Ye, and then said solemnly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Tang San has always been a person who has a clear distinction between love and hate. From now on, if Your Majesty has any orders, just say one word, as long as I can do it, I will definitely go all out!"
Emperor Xue Ye stared at Tang San in front of him with a burning gaze, his mouth corners slightly raised, outlining a gratified smile, and said slowly: "Since this is the case, I will not beat around the bush. I can give you all the resources you hope to obtain. However, in exchange, you must lead the three major families to join the Tiandou Empire. I will enthrone you as king and divide a piece of territory for you to manage. Of course, my only request to you is that when our Tiandou Empire faces difficulties and crises, I hope you can stand up and protect the empire from any intrusion and harm. What do you think?"
Before he finished speaking, Tang San nodded without hesitation to express his agreement.
"Very good! Cough cough cough..."
Seeing Tang San agree so readily, Emperor Xue Ye felt delighted. He was a little excited, but suddenly he couldn't help coughing violently, as if he was going to cough out his heart and lungs.
The coughing fit was so violent that his face instantly turned as pale as paper, completely bloodless. He looked extremely weak and was obviously terminally ill.
"Big brother!"
A cry of surprise was heard, and Prince Xuexing's face was filled with panic. He took two steps at a time and ran towards Emperor Xue Ye quickly, stretching out his hands to support his staggering body.
At this moment, Emperor Xue Ye's face was as pale as paper, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. He clenched his teeth, trying to endure the surging pain in his chest, and said with difficulty in a trembling voice: "It's...it's okay, don't...don't worry. Cough cough cough"
However, before he could finish his words, he could no longer suppress the discomfort in his body. He opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of bright red blood.
"Brother! What happened to you?"
Prince Xuexing stared with his eyes wide open, looking at the shocking scene in front of him, his heart filled with fear and worry, and he instantly became at a loss.
At this moment, a burst of clear and loud applause suddenly came, breaking the tense and solemn atmosphere on the scene.
"Clap clap clap!!!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of mysterious men in black clothes surrounding a figure slowly walking into the room.
This person was Xue Qinghe. He had a sneer on his face and his eyes revealed a hint of disdain and ridicule.
"It seems that we are a bit redundant? This old guy doesn't even need us to do anything ourselves. I'm afraid he will die from the colorful poison soon! Hahahaha"
Xue Qinghe laughed triumphantly, as if everything was under his control.
