Chapter 215: Factions
After a while, he finally turned his gaze to the bodies of Emperor Xue Ye and the other man.
Looking at the corpses of the two, Tang San suddenly fell into deep thought.
Now, the entire palace has fallen under the control of the Spirit Hall, and the situation is extremely unfavorable to him.
Even if he tried his best to make the truth of the matter public, I'm afraid few people would choose to believe him.
After all, in the eyes of everyone, how could the usually elegant and gentle His Highness Xue Qinghe be a spy sent by the Spirit Hall?
This fact is so bizarre that it is hard to believe.
But sitting and waiting for death has never been Tang San's style!
After careful consideration, he made a resolute decision - to go to the Xingluo Empire to seek a glimmer of hope.
Although the other party has been hunting him down, he firmly believes that with his current strength, he is able to cope with all kinds of difficulties and obstacles.
At this moment, he is no longer the young boy who has just started out, but a Titled Douluo who is feared by the world!
Thinking of this, Tang San no longer had any hesitation.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and rushed out of the palace like a ghost.
As soon as he left, Qin Ke, disguised as Xue Qinghe, sent people to create the illusion that Emperor Xue Ye was assassinated.
Thus, overnight, Tang San became a fugitive murderer who tried to assassinate the king!
One morning a month later, the sun shone on the magnificent palace of Xingluo City, covering the solemn palace with a layer of golden glow.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the palace hall was solemn. Civil and military officials, dressed in gorgeous official uniforms, stood neatly on both sides. They all had serious expressions and their eyes were focused on the center of the hall.
And on the high dragon throne, the Xingluo Emperor sat upright, his majestic face was now covered with frost, his cold eyes staring straight at Tang San below.
Tang San held his head high and chest puffed out, facing the oppressive gaze of Xing Luo Emperor without any fear.
"Tang San, you are quite courageous. You actually dare to appear before me openly. Aren't you afraid that I will immediately order you to be executed to comfort Dai Mubai's spirit in heaven?"
Emperor Xing Luo shouted angrily, his voice echoing throughout the entire hall, and even the beams and pillars in the hall seemed to tremble slightly.
Hearing what Xingluo Emperor said, Tang San's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
Then, he cleared his throat and responded in a high-pitched and slightly sarcastic voice: "Your Majesty, if you really wanted to kill me, you probably wouldn't have summoned me today! Besides, I am no longer the same person I was before. Do you have the strength to do that?"
After saying that, Tang San crossed his arms across his chest, looking very contented, as if he didn't take the threat from Star Luo Emperor seriously at all.
Seeing this, Emperor Xingluo on the dragon throne frowned slightly, appearing a little impatient.
He knew that the other party had broken through to the Titled Douluo.
However, at this time, there was no Titled Douluo-level strongman on his side.
If we were to face off against such a formidable enemy head-on, it would probably be a tough battle with little chance of winning.
Although the Netherworld White Tiger that he and the Queen jointly unleashed could unleash a powerful combat capability comparable to that of a Titled Douluo, it was not a cost-effective deal to rashly provoke such a terrifying and powerful enemy just for the sake of a dead Dai Mubai.
What's more, according to the various intelligence received in the past few days, perhaps he still has a chance to recruit Tang San to his side and use him for his own purposes!
After all, Tang San himself is a genuine Titled Douluo, and the combat power improvement he can bring should not be underestimated.
For Emperor Xingluo, who is determined to conquer the Tiandou Empire and realize his grand ambitions, this will undoubtedly become an extremely critical and important force.
However, before that, he had to figure out Tang San's real purpose for coming here. Thinking of this, Xingluo Emperor calmed down his thoughts, and then asked in a light tone: "Tell me, why did you come to see me today?"
"Your Majesty, I'm sure you and all the ministers present here have heard about what happened in Tiandou City."
Before Tang San finished speaking, the civil and military officials who had been standing quietly suddenly became excited and began to talk among themselves.
"How dare this man mention this matter? He killed Xue Ye and the other two with his own hands. He knew that he could not escape the reckoning of the Tiandou Empire, so he fled to us like a stray dog. Humph, now he is trying to deceive us into giving him asylum? In my opinion, he should be arrested and brought to justice immediately to comfort the spirit of the Third Prince in heaven and to avenge the dead Third Prince!"
"That's right! How could the Third Prince die in vain? Now, the enemy is right before our eyes, but we have done nothing. If this matter gets out, won't the world laugh at us for being cowardly and incompetent?"
"However, to be fair, he did do something that was beneficial to us. Although the Tiandou Empire has a new emperor, his throne is not stable after all. If we can seize this perfect opportunity to launch a surprise attack, we might be able to completely destroy the Tiandou Empire in one fell swoop!"
"What the general said is absolutely true!"
"No, no! Now, our biggest enemy is the Spirit Hall. Although our two countries have not actually signed an alliance, the alliance has been formed half a year ago. If it weren't for this incident, His Majesty might have sent an envoy to the Heaven Dou Empire in the near future!"
"Prime Minister, great idea!"
Listening to the discussions of his ministers, Emperor Xingluo couldn't help but frown.
It is not difficult to find out from here that the ministers in the court have been clearly divided into three factions.
The leading faction among them is a group of foreign relatives who firmly advocate killing Tang San to avenge Dai Mubai.
Those who don't know the inside story might really think that these people acted in this way purely to maintain the face of the Xingluo royal family.
However, when Emperor Xing Luo saw the face of the leader clearly, he instantly understood all the truth.
Just because this person is Dai Mubai’s uncle!
As Dai Mubai's uncle, how could he tolerate that the murderer who killed his nephew could still live safely in this world?
However, judging from his words and actions, the other party is obviously wary of Tang San's powerful strength.
After all, a strong man like Tang San who has reached the Titled Douluo level is definitely not someone who can be easily provoked.
As for the second faction, it is a military force group dominated by military officers.
These military officers have always been straightforward and generous, with simple thoughts. The only thing on their minds is how to open up more vast territories for the Xing Luo Empire and establish immortal achievements.
Because of this, it is not surprising that they hold such thoughts.
The last group of people left was the civil service group.
As the intellectual core of the Star Luo Empire, they tend to think about problems from a more comprehensive and in-depth perspective.
Therefore, with just a quick look at the situation, they can see at a glance that the biggest threat to the Xing Luo Empire is not the Tiandou Empire, but the powerful Wuhun Hall!
However, facing the interruptions from everyone, Tang San's mood was obviously not so good.
Not to mention, some people even advocated killing him to pay for Dai Mubai's life!
