Chapter 107 The Avalanche Plan.
Having reached a consensus, the ministers who wanted to rebel against the Heavenly Dou Empire also left the secret meeting place one after another.
……
That night.
Duke Kang made contact with Avalanche, and based on his years of experience as a cunning old fox, he could tell that Avalanche genuinely wanted to find a way to continue surviving.
However, given Duke Kang's cautious nature, even though he was somewhat certain of what he was thinking about the avalanche, he still prepared to test it out.
He gave Avalanche some advice.
After giving his advice, Duke Kang left Avalanche's residence, but he did not go far.
……
Avalanche thought Duke Kang's suggestion was excellent; he had known all along that Duke Kang and his ministers had ulterior motives.
However, these ministers were all in the court and he was afraid that his brother, Xue Qinghe, would discover his little schemes, so he did not secretly contact these ministers.
Even though he was extremely careful, many rumors still circulated.
Every time Xue Qinghe asked him about it, he would try his best to evade the question.
In fact, even now, Xue Beng knew that Xue Qinghe had begun to suspect him, but because he was Xue Qinghe's younger brother and Xue Qinghe was not involved with any court officials, Xue Qinghe did not pursue the matter further.
Therefore, Avalanche was somewhat unwelcoming to Duke Kang's arrival, but he also wanted to see what tricks this old man was up to, so he received him.
Fortunately, Duke Kang did not discuss anything too outrageous, which reassured Avalanche considerably. The two were in a phase of testing each other.
However, Duke Kang's suggestion was indeed very good, and he really wanted to give it a try.
However, this matter still needs to be handled with utmost caution. If it is successful, his influence on the Spirit Empire will likely increase, and his chances of survival will greatly improve.
Before long, the army of the Spirit Empire will be besieging Tiandou City. He must speed up his pace and take control of the overall situation.
It seems necessary to secretly contact the Soul Masters I've recruited during this period once more.
The avalanche left its palace.
Duke Kang watched Xue Beng leave the Prince's Mansion with a satisfied smile. He knew that Xue Beng had taken his words to heart, and it was time for the Heavenly Dou Empire to find a wise ruler.
……
After leaving his residence, Xue Beng went to a secluded place where no one was around. He left a signal that he needed to meet with Xue Beng and then left the secluded place to return to his prince's mansion.
……
The next night.
As agreed the night before, Avalanche went to the place where he usually went to listen to music in the brothel.
Inside a top-class private box, a talented musician played music, a beautiful woman danced, and the avalanche was already in first place.
Everyone was present, a total of fifteen people.
These people are only a portion of the Soul Masters recruited by Avalanche. Their cultivation level is average, and they can both contact those behind them and manage Soul Masters whose cultivation level is lower than theirs.
After several rounds of drinks, Xue Beng waved his hand, dismissing the talented scholar and the beautiful woman, leaving only the fifteen of them in the large private room.
While still under the influence of alcohol, Xue Beng said, "I have summoned you brothers here today to express the frustration in my heart."
"As you all have probably heard, many things have happened in the court recently."
"My brother has gone mad. I really can't bear to see Tiandou City destroyed because of my brother's obsession, and I can't bear to see tens of thousands of people die because of it."
"I know that doing this will bring me some criticism, but that criticism is nothing compared to the tens of thousands of lives lost."
"Brothers, you are all still very young, just like me, with bright futures ahead of you. Are you really willing to die in Heaven Dou City?"
"Your Highness, we are naturally unwilling. If Your Highness has any good ideas, please share them. We would be extremely grateful."
After much deliberation, Xue Beng said solemnly, "I believe that the Heavenly Dou Empire should have a more enlightened emperor to bring new hope to the Heavenly Dou Empire. We cannot allow my brother to continue to wreak havoc on the Heavenly Dou Empire."
"What do you brothers think?"
The fourteen people looked at each other in bewilderment.
Xue Beng was also quite nervous. If today's conversation got out, even if he and Xue Qinghe were related by blood, Xue Qinghe would not let him go.
However, Avalanche had complete confidence in himself. He usually treated these people well, and he understood their temperaments and the attitudes of the powerful families behind them. He felt that these people would not spread today's conversation.
Moreover, the powerful families behind these people have a very high chance of supporting him as the new emperor.
After all, the families he chose were carefully considered, and he knew that these people, like him, did not want to die in Tiandou City.
Soon, the fourteen people exchanged glances and unanimously flattered each other, saying, "Prince Xue, compared to Xue Qinghe, you are more democratic and more patient, and are naturally more suitable to become the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire."
"But as you know, this matter is of utmost importance and cannot be decided by us alone. We need to consult with the elders in the family first."
"I understand, I understand."
"But we have to make them hurry. The army of the Spirit Empire is getting closer and closer to Heaven Dou City. If we are too late, we will completely lose our last chance."
"If they intend to make me the new emperor, let them come to my residence at sunrise this morning so we can discuss important matters together."
"Prince Xue, we will definitely relay your words to our family head."
"If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave now."
"Brothers, take care."
The fourteen people bid farewell to the avalanche one by one. They had to leave quickly and report the news they had learned that night to the heads of their respective families.
The avalanche eventually left.
……
Inside the Prince's mansion, the avalanche began its long wait.
……
Before the sun had risen, people dressed in black robes began to appear around the Avalanche Mansion.
They were all heads of major families in Tiandou City, with profound cultivation, and they sneaked into the Prince's Mansion without alerting the guards.
This was clearly an avalanche that was intentional.
……
Men dressed in black appeared one after another in the main room of the Prince's mansion.
Avalanche naturally knew the identities of these men in black, and without panic, he was already dressed and waiting for them.
The heads of the various powerful families decided to keep things brief and get straight to the point.
"Prince Xue, tell me your plan."
"My plan is simple: as long as we take down that old scoundrel Wanyan Jun, our grand plan will succeed."
"More than half of the ministers in the court are already very dissatisfied with Xue Qinghe, but Wanyan Jun holds military power and is very stubborn, so he supports Xue Qinghe."
"After Wanyan Jun's death, I am confident that I can rally the ministers to support me as the new emperor."
"As soon as I become the new emperor, I will immediately surrender to the Spirit Empire and try to protect the interests that the noble families here should have."
Subsequently, Avalanche made further detailed additions to the plan.
After hearing this, the fourteen family heads felt that it was highly feasible.
Although there is a risk of failure, if they don't take a chance and let Xue Qinghe act recklessly, they will only have death as their last resort.
Seizing the opportunity, all the family heads ultimately agreed to Xue Beng's plan, making him the new emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire.
"When do we make our move?" one of the family heads asked.
