I really am a Titled Douluo

A few days later!

In the Tiandou Empire, many rumors began to circulate!

"What's going on with the imperial palace lately? Not only has the number of patrolling soldiers suddenly increased, but I've also heard that many new regulations have been added!"

"I don't know. Could it be a conflict with the Xingluo Empire, a precursor to war?"

"That's impossible. Although the relationship between the Xingluo Empire and us in the Tiandou Empire isn't so close, there have been quite a few trades in recent years, so it shouldn't develop to this point, right?"

"Shh... Haven't you heard? The Martial Soul Hall recently issued a statement about a new species called abyssal creatures. They are more brutal than soul beasts and more terrifying in power. They even practice cannibalism among their kind to enhance their own power!"

"The scariest part is not this. The powerful abyssal creatures can transform into humans and cannot be detected by powerful human soul masters. Perhaps there are abyssal creatures among us!!"

"Ugh... Such talk cannot be made carelessly. If those nobles hear it, heads will roll!"

However, in the next second, a voice without any emotion sounded next to them.....

"Oh? Do we have such brutal people among us nobles?"

Everyone turned their heads to see Prince Xue Xing, the younger brother of the Emperor of the Tiandou Empire, and were immediately left speechless...

Xue Xing sneered, "What? Weren't you just speaking boldly? Tell me, how do you want to die?"

"Prince Xue Xing, forgive us. We got confused for a moment, and we meant no disrespect to the royal household!"

"Yes, Prince Xue Xing, please don't hold it against people like us, just treat us like a fart and let us go!"

"We... we were just talking nonsense, there must be nobles as refined as you!"

Xue Xing did not pursue the matter further, and after a cold snort, he said, "Get lost, and don't gossip about the nobility behind their backs again!"

Although today's nobility has indeed become corrupt to the extreme!

Du Gu Bo beside him was somewhat surprised, "Prince Xue Xing, just letting them go like that? That's not like you."

In the past, encountering such commoners who completely disregarded the nobility, he would have given them a good lesson!

Xue Xing shook his head, "Right now, we still haven't resolved the issues with the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, so it's not suitable to stir up trouble again!"

"Moreover, the words my brother said to Xue Beng explicitly mean that if we can't resolve the matters of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the management rights must be taken back."

Du Gu Bo narrowed his eyes, "Prince Xue Xing, perhaps... we could blame this on the abyssal creatures?"

The mass dropout of students from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy coincided with the Martial Soul Hall's announcement about abyssal creatures...

This suggestion suddenly enlightened Xue Xing's thoughts...

"Poison Douluo, what you said is indeed possible!"

"That fake Xue Qinghe probably never expected the Martial Soul Hall to reveal this matter at such a critical moment!"

Du Gu Bo nodded slightly, "I'm just offering my opinion, as long as it helps Prince Xue Xing."

At this moment, the patrolling Sky Dou Empire soldiers happened to see the two and saluted, saying, "Prince Xue Xing!"

Prince Xue Xing nodded in acknowledgment, "Hmm, no need for formalities. But what's going on today? Why has the security of the palace been heightened everywhere, with the number of troops I saw at least quadrupled or quintupled!"

The lead squad captain was visibly surprised, "Prince Xue Xing, haven't you received the notification from His Majesty Xue Ye? The Sect Masters of the upper three families are coming to the palace to discuss matters today!"

"To prevent suspicious individuals from infiltrating, the security has been strengthened."

Xue Xing immediately understood this as the official excuse, "To prevent suspicious individuals? It's probably to prevent abyssal creatures from sneaking in, right?"

The expression of the former moving slightly, but dared not speak...

"All right, you continue with your patrol. Poison Douluo, let's go!"

...

Elsewhere!

Xue Ye looked at the others present and spoke first, "I thank all the Sect Masters for accepting my invitation and coming to the imperial palace, traveling from the sect. It's been a hard journey."

Upon hearing this, everyone responded.....

"Your Majesty Xue Ye is too polite. This discussion is not just for the royal household, but also for us sects!"

"Indeed, the royal household and the upper three families have always had a close relationship. Since His Majesty Xue Ye has opened his mouth, it's only natural to come!"

"Hmm, but before coming, I noticed that the palace guards seemed much more numerous than usual. It seems His Majesty Xue Ye has already started to prevent unforeseen events!"

Xue Ye's expression grew solemn, "It seems all the Sect Masters have noticed. The reason for the increased security in the palace is to prevent any abyssal creatures from infiltrating because the royal household currently has no general understanding of these creatures and can only resort to such means!"

Yu Yuanzhen, upon hearing this, was somewhat puzzled, "Your Majesty Xue Ye, I remember instructing the sect disciples to hand over the corpses of abyssal creatures to various forces. Has the royal household not received any?"

Xue Ye shook his head and explained, "To my shame, the royal household hasn't gained any useful information from the corpses of abyssal creatures."

Yu Yuanzhen showed understanding, "I see, then our Tang Sect's situation is nearly the same. However, the Tang Sect Master and Sect Master Ning might know more about abyssal creatures."

The Tang Sect has also been unable to discern any clues, which is why they've made this decision!

Tang Xiao was momentarily stunned and sighed, "I have no understanding of abyssal creatures."

This entire period has been consumed with worries over Tang Hao and Tang San, leaving no time to learn about these abyssal creatures!

As a result, all attention turned to Ning Fengzhi...

The latter pursed his lips, "Although Uncle Bone and Chrysanthemum Douluo of the Martial Soul Hall jointly killed a few powerful abyssal creatures, as of now, the most informed about abyssal creatures is still the Martial Soul Hall!"

Xue Ye's eyebrows knitted slightly, "So, to counter the abyssal creatures, relying solely on the sects and the royal household is not enough. The help of the Martial Soul Hall is necessary!"

He hadn't expected even Sect Master Ning only knew a little!

Ning Fengzhi nodded affirmatively, "That's right. Not to mention the Martial Soul Hall's early research on abyssal creatures, they also manage a large number of soul masters who would become a major force once the war breaks out!"

Yu Yuanzhen took a deep breath, "I also believe that without the participation of the Martial Soul Hall, it's almost impossible to counter the abyssal creatures!"

Tang Xiao, on the other hand, mocked, "Humph, the Martial Soul Hall surely knows that only cooperation can defeat the already developing abyssal creatures, which is why they've divulged information relating to them in detail!"

Ning Fengzhi then reminded, "Regardless, the information provided by the Martial Soul Hall is extremely crucial, allowing us to make preparations in advance, which is a good thing."

Xue Ye's gaze was intense, "I roughly understand the meaning of the three Sect Masters. Later on, I will make a request to the Martial Soul Hall on behalf of the royal household!!"

At this time, it's not about pride anymore!
