"Is this true?"
Dustheart frowned and asked. Although the royal family of the Tian Dou Empire was not strong, they had the support of the Seven Great Sects under the empire. Regardless of the somewhat wavering stance of the Four Great Sects, even just considering the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect and the Thunderclap Dragon Clan among the Upper Three Sects, they were staunch supporters of the royal family. If the Pope of the Martial Soul Temple were to exterminate the royal family, it would mean declaring war on the Tian Dou Empire.
"You heard correctly. That's the decree." Chrysanthemum Douluo smiled, patting the metal petals floating around him, then looked at Dustheart and Ancient Rong, saying, "If Ghost and I can't handle it, then His Holiness the Pope will come himself."
"Fool!"
Dustheart's eyes narrowed slightly. The meaning behind the words was clear. If it came to that, the so-called Pope would not hesitate to completely destroy the royal family of the Tian Dou Empire, even if it meant defying the Upper Three Sects.
"You can't go there for now. The fate of Ye Chen is uncertain. Even if revenge is to be sought, we must wait for the situation to clarify first."
"Hahaha, I'm afraid His Holiness the Pope won't wait that long."
"You can try!"
Dustheart's expression turned icy. The Seven Kill Sword appeared in his palm, exuding an endless aura of killing intent, making people glance sideways.
Meanwhile, as Dream God and the others were about to flee, they were intercepted by the Snow Star Prince of the Tian Dou Empire as soon as they reached the ground. Shortly afterward, they were led to a certain passage.
In this area, the toxic smoke had diminished somewhat, as if someone had cleaned it up, but ordinary Soul Masters still couldn't get close.
At the end of the passage, there was a huge stone door looming. After carefully observing it several times, Dream God couldn't help but say, "This is the Royal Treasury!"
"Correct." The Snow Star Prince nodded. "It's indeed the Royal Treasury. This time, you've been ordered to come here by the Snow Night's command. The Emperor wants to sit in the Tian Dou City to oversee the situation. So, please go in and check to ensure that no thieves have entered. The foundation of the empire cannot be lost."
Dream God and the others exchanged glances, reluctant to go. Their cultivation had been halved, and entering the toxic fog was extremely dangerous.
But the command had come directly from the master of the Tian Dou Empire, and they dared not disobey. Even if they didn't want to go, they had no choice.
Without a word, Dream God and the others reluctantly summoned their Martial Souls and then hid inside the super defense Martial Soul of White Bao Mountain, slowly entering the passage full of toxic fog. After reaching the end, they pushed open the huge stone door and walked in.
But as soon as they entered, Dream God noticed a large hole in the western corner of the room, and a figure with a mask was standing there, moving a giant package much larger than anyone else.
Anybody could tell that the person sneaking into the Royal Treasury was the suspicious character. Without hesitation, Dream God immediately shouted, "Catch him!"
Instantly, Dream God and the others launched their respective soul skills and attacked the masked person.
Sensing danger approaching, the masked person who had been busy suddenly dodged the attacking soul skills. However, the cloth covering his face was blown away by the residual soul force, falling aside.
"Ye Chen." After seeing the true face of the masked person, Dream God couldn't help but say, surprised, "What are you doing here? Did you create the toxic fog in the imperial city?"
"Old man, you didn't expect that I could survive, did you?" Ye Chen laughed loudly, pointing to the giant hole in the corner of the wall and saying, "Not only did I have a narrow escape, but I also stumbled upon this treasure trove full of treasures in the labyrinth I found in the courtyard."
As he spoke, Ye Chen quietly opened his right hand and activated the third soul skill he had comprehended from the Thousand Poison Centipede Soul Ring: Thousand Poison Sky Mist!
Instantly, waves of black flame poison mist overflowed from his palm. In just a short moment, every corner of the Royal Treasury was filled with poison mist.
The poison mist intensified, and Dream God and the others' faces immediately turned somewhat black. After hiding inside the defensive Martial Soul of White Bao Mountain, the situation improved somewhat, but they were still affected by the poison mist, and their faces looked extremely unsightly.
Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but think to himself, "These three old guys have become so weak? They can't even resist my Thousand Poison Sky Mist? Could it be that they're injured?"
His eyes flashed with a hint of cunning. Ye Chen gradually raised the corners of his mouth, and the mood to poison and escape faded away.
At this moment, Ye Chen's eyes gleamed, and he quietly released the fourth soul skill, Illusory Fox Eyes.
In an instant, Dream God and the others were brought into the illusion he had constructed. They were still in the Tian Dou Empire, but their positions had changed. They were no longer deans, but the true masters of the empire, seated on the Emperor's throne.
On the high throne, a group of graceful and charming beauties surrounded the three men, feeding them delicacies, their fiery figures clinging tightly to them, their words charming and alluring.
Underneath the throne, the three Sect Masters of the Upper Three Sects, Ning Fengzhi, Tang Xiao, and Yu Yuanzhen, were kneeling and shouting loudly.
"Godly Machinist Emperor!" "Intelligent Forest Emperor!" "Precious Mountain Emperor!"
"The Seven Sects have breached the Star Luo Empire, and internal strife has occurred within the Martial Soul Temple. In another half year, the Tian Dou Empire will be able
