Xue Qinghe smiled faintly and countered, "Twisting words? Xue Beng, are you suggesting that the Sky Dou Empire soldiers just stand by and watch their comrades be killed, and choose to remain silent?"
Xue Beng, upon hearing this, was immediately at a loss for words...
If he were to answer this question now, any flaw could lead to the hostility of the Sky Dou Empire soldiers.
This Xue Qinghe, truly despicable, always scheming against me!
Thinking of this, he had to change to a more tactful tone, "Brother, we definitely can't let this matter rest like this, but right now we can't confirm that it was the Xingluo Empire people who did it!"
"Even if we later engage in negotiations with the Xingluo Empire, we will need to produce evidence. I believe everyone understands this principle, right?"
Although some of the soldiers were displeased, they did not voice any objections...
They also felt that what the former said was not without reason, arbitrarily attributing this incident to the Xingluo Empire people was unwise!
Xue Qinghe glanced at everyone, seemingly seeing the wavering in their hearts...
Just as he was about to speak, Du Gu Bo interrupted him...
"Crown Prince, for now, shouldn't we send someone back to the imperial palace to report this matter and question the royal family of Xingluo Empire?"
Xue Qinghe was somewhat surprised, "Oh? Senior Douluo of Poison, are you perhaps agreeing with what I just said!"
Du Gu Bo's face turned cold, "No, Crown Prince, don't misunderstand, what I mean is... regardless of whether it was the Xingluo Empire people or not, it is necessary to inform them of this matter!"
"In case there really is another force trying to sabotage the cooperation between the Sky Dou Empire and the Xingluo Empire, we should be prepared!"
The soldiers' attitudes changed significantly...
"I think what Poison Douluo said makes sense, although losing a comrade makes us very angry, we at least need to confirm whether it was the Xingluo Empire's doing, we don't want to be used by others"
"Makes sense, I also agree with Senior Douluo of Poison's idea, it's better to confirm the real enemy before seeking revenge"
"That's a Title Douluo level expert, to be deployed to attack us so easily, I feel something's not right, let's observe more first!"
"Everyone has a point, but I only act on the orders of the Crown Prince!"
"Well, since Senior Douluo of Poison says so, I naturally have no objections"
Then, he turned his gaze towards a portion of the soldiers, "You guys..."
Du Gu Bo, how could he let him stir up any more trouble, cut in without mercy, "Crown Prince, let me make the arrangements!"
Xue Qinghe understood the other's intentions and did not expose it, "Alright, then I'll trouble Senior Douluo of Poison!"
Only then did Du Gu Bo look at part of the soldiers and gesture, "You, return immediately to the imperial palace and report what happened here to His Majesty Xue Ye!!"
"Yes, Senior Douluo of Poison!"
In the face of this Title Douluo level strongman, the appointed soldiers naturally had no complaints!
After speaking, they quickly left after a brief signal...
Du Gu Bo observed the situation and then said to himself, "Crown Prince, I hope nothing happens to them on the way back!"
Xue Qinghe, upon hearing this, only showed a mysterious expression, "Such things, who knows, after all, we are outside the Aquipeia Forest, where anything unexpected could happen at any time!"
...
On the other side!
The group from the Xingluo Empire!
The Soul Sage at the lead suddenly stopped in his tracks, his face serious, "Everyone, did any of you just feel a strong soul power fluctuation?"
The other soul masters, upon hearing this, were initially taken aback, then began to discuss among themselves...
"A strong soul power fluctuation, was there? Why didn't I sense it?"
"I didn't sense it either, it must be your imagination. This area is so quiet, we haven't even seen a few living soul beasts, though we have seen quite a number of corpses!"
"Nothing happened just now, could it be that our spiritual power was not constantly dispersed, so we didn't sense it initially?"
"Can't rule out this possibility, as a Soul Sage, the intensity of his spiritual power is definitely stronger than ours, naturally his perception range is wider!"
"What happened?"
Seeing the team halt, Davis and the accompanying Daijin came over...
Seeing this, the Soul Sage did not hide anything and truthfully reported, "Your Highness Davis, just moments ago, I seemed to sense a powerful spiritual power, at least of Soul Douluo level!"
"However, when I questioned the others, none of them had perceived it, which is indeed a bit strange!"
Davis furrowed his brows, saying to the other soul masters, "None of you sensed anything unusual?"
Everyone shook their heads, not that they didn't want to admit it, but because they indeed hadn't sensed anything unusual!
Hearing this response, Davis said in a lowered voice, "Could it be your imagination? After all, we've been in the Aquipeia Forest for so long, feeling a bit uneasy wouldn't be surprising"
The Soul Sage shook his head firmly, "Impossible, my perception was very clear, it absolutely can't be an illusion"
"Could it be possible that the Tian Dou Imperial Family discovered we hadn't emerged yet, so they sent someone into the Aquipeia Forest to search?"
"Impossible, when have the Sky Dou Empire people been so kind? I guess they can't wait for us to die in the Aquipeia Forest"
"You can't say that, after all, the Sky Dou Empire and the Xingluo Empire are preparing to cooperate, at least for now!"
"Well, no matter what, being able to perceive the presence of living people is a good thing, if we make an effort, we should be able to leave the Aquipeia Forest"
...
And those hiding in the dark, watching Xie Xie and the others, excitedly said, "Look, look, Wulin's expression, he must have confessed, just don't know if Gu Yue will agree"
Ye Xinglan's beautiful eyes showed a hint of envy, "She probably will, after all, in our eyes, they are already a couple!"
Xie Xie eagerly asked, "Really? What about me and Yuanen Yehui? Do we look like a couple?"
Ye Xinglan paused, calmly saying, "I don't see it, maybe acquaintances but not quite friends?"
Xie Xie's smile froze, with a twitching mouth corner, "I see..."
Beside her, Xu Xiaoyan rolled her eyes, saying, "Xie Xie, whether you and Yuanen Yehui are possible, you should know yourself!"
After a pause, she continued, "Right now we're discussing Gu Yue and Wulin! Anyway, I think they make a great pair, just don't know if the former will agree, after all, if one has affection but the other doesn't, it would be futile!"
Just as the words fell, Xu Li furrowed his brow thoughtfully, "Everybody thinks it looks like a confession? Why do I feel like Wulin is questioning Gu Yue?"
