Chương 2895: Chapter 2880: Questioning Xue Yuntian_1

However, Di Tian soon found himself overwhelmed with confusion...

He questioned, "If Your Grace already knew that Titan Ape and Azure Oxpython were connected to Sea God Tang San, why would You allow them to stay in the forbidden area of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform??"

"Moreover, You even informed them of all the secrets regarding the Spirit Pagoda!"

This was what he found most incomprehensible!!

If the Titan Ape duo were to relay the secrets to Tang San, the latter could possibly descend to the Lower Realm in person, to take action against the likes of us!!

Gu Yuena's expression remained calm and tranquil as she explained unhurriedly, "Why allow the Titan Ape duo to stay in the forbidden area? Because the Ten Thousand Beast Platform was built by them!"

"The equipment developed by the Spirit Pagoda simply provides a connection to that space. If they were to leave, the whole space would be on the verge of collapse. You should be familiar with this, right?"

When the Ten Thousand Beast Platform previously collapsed, it was only through the joint efforts of all the ferocious beasts that we managed to stall until the Titan Ape and Azure Oxpython rushed back!!

"So, Your Grace, You kept them there just to stabilize the Ten Thousand Beast Platform??"

Gu Yuena continued, "That is one reason, the second is because we learned of Sea God Tang San's views on the Spirit Pagoda through them!"

"As long as the wanton slaughter of humans is avoided, he will not interfere!"

Di Tian's emotions were somewhat complex, "Your Grace, does this mean Sea God Tang San, knowing full well that the Spirit Pagoda's aim is to revive the Soul Beast Clan, is choosing to turn a blind eye?"

Gu Yuena nodded her head, "That is correct. As for the reason, it should be related to his wife!"

"Di Tian, do you have any more questions?"

Di Tian shook his head, "Thank You for Your explanation, Your Grace. I have no further questions!"

"Just regarding the Titan Ape and Azure Oxpython, is there still a need to monitor them??"

Gu Yuena's silver pupils flickered, "Of course we must!!"

Although the Titan Ape duo won't interfere with the plan, their relationship with Wulin is even more profound!!

One can't rule out the possibility they will do something unexpected!

Therefore, it's better to keep them in line!!

Di Tian immediately responded, "Understood, I will then send a ferocious beast to guard the equipment. The moment the Titan Ape and Azure Oxpython leave the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, we will be alerted right away."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena did not speak further, but instead closed her eyes in silence...

Di Tian did not disturb her and, after signaling, he quickly left the resting room...

Even though he did not understand why, it was clear to him that his superior was enveloped in an air of sorrow!

Perhaps, it had something to do with the deceased Leng Yaozhu!

After all, she was the human closest to his superior!

...

Douling Empire Imperial Palace!

The soldiers, bursting in anxiously, reported, "Your Majesty the Emperor..."

Before he could finish, Xue Yuntian cut him off with a cold voice, "Has the defensive line been breached again?"

The former hung his head slightly, an implicit admission...

Taking a deep breath, Xue Yuntian clenched his teeth, "Even by deploying all the soldiers of the Douling Empire to the blockade, we still can't stop these Evil Soul Masters?"

He then inquired again, "What are the casualties?"

The soldier lifted his head, speaking gravely, "Your Majesty, it seems that the Evil Soul Masters' target is the imperial palace. Therefore, they are concentrating on a single point to breach the defense line without inflicting significant casualties on the soldiers!"

This statement allowed Xue Yuntian to breathe a sigh of relief, "Huuh..."

This was perhaps the only piece of somewhat comforting news he had received!

He waved his hand and said, "Good, I understand. Continue to dispatch soldiers from the rear to construct the defense lines, we must hold out until the reinforcements arrive!!"

The Xingluo Empire and Shrek Academy have both agreed to provide support; now all we need to do is wait patiently!!

"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor!!"

The soldier quickly stood up and hurriedly left...

However, not long after he had left, many powerful figures from the Douling Empire began to enter the imperial palace...

Together, they exclaimed, "Your Majesty the Emperor!!"

Xue Yuntian also snapped back to reality, somewhat puzzled, "My lords, what is this??"

He remembered that he hadn't summoned these Soul Master powerhouses!

The leading Hyper Douluo was the first to speak up, "Your Majesty the Emperor, the Douling Empire is now in a critical situation; please let us fight those evil Soul Masters!"

The rest of the Soul Master powerhouses also spoke up one after another, "That's right, just some evil Soul Masters forcibly transformed; they cannot possibly be a match for us, there's no need for those weaker soldiers to go to their deaths unnecessarily!!"

"The Douling Empire has not been pushed to such a state by a group of evil Soul Masters; please allow us to take action!!"

"As long as we are still alive, we will surely not allow the evil Soul Masters to come within half a step of the imperial palace!!"

Xue Yuntian was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood the purpose of their coming to the palace...

However, he decisively rejected the request, "No, you must stay in the imperial palace, you cannot go anywhere!!"

This unquestionable tone made the Soul Masters in front of him feel somewhat angry...

The suppressed emotions erupted in an instant...

"Xue Yuntian, don't really think that just because you are the emperor, you can command everyone. Keeping us in the imperial palace is just to protect yourself, isn't it?"

"Who would have thought the emperor of the Douling Empire is such a coward, afraid of death. It is pitiful for those soldiers who have sacrificed!"

"We call you 'emperor' and are willing to obey you because you once made significant contributions to the Douling Empire, but now, you no longer have the right to command us!"

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I really thought you were someone of character; it's so disappointing!!"

These harsh insults caused the Ultimate Douluo guarding him to suddenly appear...

Exploding with a frightening aura, he said coldly, "How dare you insult His Majesty the Emperor; are you trying to start a rebellion??"

But to their surprise, Xue Yuntian was not angered by this; instead, he stopped the former...

He then affirmed, "Yes, my purpose for keeping you in the imperial palace is indeed to protect me!"

No sooner had he spoken than the crowd cast contemptuous, puzzled, and even angry glances...

They could not understand how Xue Yuntian could make such a statement!

After a pause, Xue Yuntian continued, "But, it is not just to protect myself!!"

"You must have heard that the Ghost Emperor attacked the imperial palace not long ago, then disappeared without a trace"

"If at such a time, numerous evil Soul Masters launch an attack and we dispatch all the strong ones present to defend, wouldn't the Ghost Emperor seize the opportunity to attack the imperial palace?"

"My death is of little consequence; what matters is the aftermath. The entire Douling Empire will be thrown into chaos, with no one able to command the situation!!"

With just a few sentences, he silenced everyone present...

They wanted to retort, but found that what he had said was true!

Should the emperor of the Douling Empire, Xue Yuntian, perish, the Douling Empire would soon be on the brink of collapse!
