Chapter 72 Tianwu Empire
After sending Qian Renxue away, Ye Li, disguised as Xue Qinghe, began his own plan. In his inheritance, there is a secret method that can control people's souls. There is no limit on the number of people, and it can be used on a large scale. What he needs to do now is to gain military power.

On the other side, in the secret room of Tiandou Empire, Xue Beng and Xue Xing were secretly discussing how to dethrone the crown prince Xue Qinghe. However, no matter how hard they planned, they could not escape Ye Li's eyes. He had already planted spies for him since he arrived in Tiandou Empire.

Two days later, Ye Li looked at the starry sky, his brows relaxed slightly. After two days of contact with Emperor Xue Ye, Emperor Xue Ye's vitality became weaker and weaker. At this point, Emperor Xue Ye's life had entered a countdown, and Ye Li also planted a trace of fire to strengthen the toxins.

At the Tiandou Palace, Ye Li left the Prince's Mansion and walked straight towards the bedroom of Emperor Xue Ye. There were guards and palace maids along the way. He bowed and saluted. He pushed the door open and entered, only to see that Emperor Xue Ye was unconscious, his face was pale, and his breath was weak. There were also several royal healing soul masters treating Emperor Xue Ye.

"Your Highness." The healing soul masters around looked at Xue Qinghe who walked in and immediately bowed to him.

"How is my father doing?" Xue Qinghe glanced at the soul masters around him and asked softly.

"Your Highness, the emperor's condition is not optimistic now. He probably won't survive tomorrow." One of the healing soul masters said with a heavy face.

Xue Qinghe's face turned extremely serious at this, and he said, "We must do our best to rescue Father, and we must not be negligent in the slightest."

"Yes, Your Highness." The soul masters around looked at each other and agreed immediately.

After Ye Li, who was disguised as Xue Qinghe, touched Emperor Xue Ye's body, an undetectable expression flashed across his face, and then he walked out of Emperor Xue Ye's bedroom.

Ye Li came to a back garden, and the figures of Snake Spear and Thorny Pig appeared, kneeling on one knee and saying: "Your Excellency the Pope."

"How's the matter going?" Ye Li asked.

"The royal guards have basically been replaced by our people." Snake Spear Douluo said respectfully.

"Ninety percent of the Tiandou Empire's army has been planted with slave marks, and the remaining ten percent is the army of Prince Xuexing and Avalanche." Thorny Porpoise Douluo said immediately.

"Go and plant the slave mark on that 10% of the army, and directly take over Avalanche and Snow Star. After tomorrow, there will be no more Tiandou Empire in Douluo Continent." Ye Li said calmly.

"Yes." Snake Spear and Thorny Porpoise Douluo responded at the same time. They really didn't expect that their Pope had such ability to take down the Tiandou Empire without any soldiers.

After Thorny Porpoise and Snake Spear Douluo left, Ye Li returned to Emperor Xue Ye's bedroom, fearing that something unexpected might have happened.

At this moment, Emperor Xue Ye seemed to have regained consciousness. He suddenly woke up and looked at Xue Qinghe who was taking care of him. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Qinghe, come here."

"Father, are you okay?" Xue Qinghe immediately came to Emperor Xue Ye and said.

"Qinghe, from now on, the Tiandou Empire will be handed over to you. This is the seal that symbolizes the emperor of our Tiandou Empire, and the imperial edict that I abdicate to you." Emperor Xue Ye trembled and took out the seal and imperial edict that had been prepared long ago and handed them to Xue Qinghe, and then explained his own affairs. "I will live up to your trust." Xue Qinghe took the imperial edict and seal and said solemnly.

.........

A few days later, Emperor Xue Ye of the Tiandou Empire passed away, and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe took the throne. The Tiandou Empire seemed calm on the surface, but undercurrents were surging in secret.

Ye Li began to deal with the people of the Tiandou royal family. It was discovered that Prince Xue Beng and Prince Xuexing wanted to usurp the throne, so Ye Li issued an imperial edict to imprison them and execute them.

The only one who escaped the disaster was Princess Xue Ke. On the one hand, Ye Li did not feel that she was a threat, on the other hand, the situation in the Tiandou Empire needed to be stabilized. Soon Ye Li, who had become the emperor, changed the country's name to the Tianwu Empire. For a while, the continent was in turmoil, and some discerning people had already known about the developments, such as Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.

"As expected of the modern pope, his methods are very clever."

Wuhun City Angel Temple.

"How is Xiaoxue?" Qian Daoliu said quietly while looking at Qian Renxue.

"Grandpa blames you. The medicine you told me worked, but in the end I, your granddaughter, was countered by Ye Li and didn't get the upper hand at all." Qian Renxue crossed her arms and looked at her grandfather Qian Daoliu angrily.

"It's because you were too careless. You can't judge Ye Li by common sense. Just using softening powder is not enough. You should seal his soul power directly." Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue and said somewhat unconvincingly.

"Grandpa, I do want to, but..." Qian Renxue said stubbornly, but did not continue.

"Okay, as long as the goal is achieved, it's time for you to accept the nine tests of the angel." Qian Daoliu raised his hand and pointed, and the golden flame released from the long sword in the hand of the statue behind him fell from the sky, completely covering Qian Renxue's body.

The golden flames flowed, and Qian Renxue's body was drawn up slowly by the light. The golden light did not change, but nine golden light curtains gradually appeared in front of Qian Renxue.

Seeing these nine light curtains, Qian Daoliu's eyes revealed a special and strange brilliance, "Nine tests of angels, nine tests..., the nine tests that countless generations of Douluo Palace masters have been waiting for have finally appeared. From now on, for a long time in the future, you have to complete the nine tests from the angels. Grandpa will always be with you."

"Yes."
