With the help of "Chrysanthemum Douluo" Yue Guan, Dennis quickly purged the Heaven Dou Imperial Guards of those loyal to Xue Beng. Through promises of benefits and threats, he gained control of those whose positions were not so firm, successfully seizing control of the palace guards.

Subsequently, he used the power of the imperial guards to control the entire palace. Dennis sent people to constantly spread the message that "Xue Beng has been executed, he was the rebellious minister, he murdered his father to usurp the throne, tampered with the imperial edict, persecuted his brothers, assassinated court officials, betrayed the soldiers at the front lines and the interests of the nation, and ceded land for peace," in order to highlight Xue Qinghe's legitimacy in reclaiming the throne.

Under the armed deterrence of the royal guards and Dennis's propaganda, the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace quickly stabilized. Although there were still constant disturbances of all sizes throughout the palace, basic order had been guaranteed.

After arranging everything, Dennis reported his work results to "Xue Qinghe."

Qian Renxue's eyes were filled with a smile: "You've done a great job. Go to the homes of the important ministers in the court and inform them of today's results, and understand their attitudes."

"In addition, notify the officials that the court meetings for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are canceled, and all of them must come to the palace to participate in the meeting the day after the day after tomorrow. I don't want to see anyone claiming to be sick and not coming."

"Yes." Dennis bowed slightly and retreated.

Sitting on that chair, cast entirely of gold and decorated with dragon-shaped carvings, thick, heavy and majestic, Qian Renxue sighed.

The things she once pursued, yearned for, and looked forward to were now in her hands, but she was not excited or satisfied at all. This was no longer her pursuit. In the face of that eternal godhood, all worldly desires and power seemed so empty and vain.

She glanced at the side of the hall, at Bibi Dong sitting on a chair, her hand resting on the armrest, propping up her head. She moved her butt to the side and patted the seat next to her, signaling her to come over.

Bibi Dong smiled, got up, and slowly walked to her side, sitting down.

"What's wrong? Xue'er?"

"Call me Qinghe." Qian Renxue said in a slightly forceful tone.

"Okay, Xue'er." Bibi Dong said gently.

Qian Renxue leaned slightly and leaned on Bibi Dong's body, "Do you know, when I was a child, I was always envious when I saw other children having their mother's love, because I didn't..."

"My mother would only look at me with a cold face, drive me away, and even sometimes, show killing intent towards me..."

"At that time, I didn't know why, I only knew that you were the Pope, and you loved the scepter in your hand, which symbolized power, more than you loved me."

"Grandpa told me that because you are the Pope, you are very busy and have many worries. The disputes between the two great empires are constant and need you to deal with them. He told me not to disturb you."

"So I thought, if I became the emperor of the empire and solved these things, would you have time to be with me?"

"Later, my thirst for you gradually turned into hatred. The pursuit of the throne was no longer out of the expectation of getting your company..."

"Maybe I wanted to prove myself, maybe I was addicted to the beauty of power, or maybe I wanted to go further and take away what you love from you."

"Maybe I should thank Tang San and Tang Hao. They woke me up. Thank Lei Yin, he let me see the gap between me and my peers, and let me wake up from my obsession with imperial power."

Bibi Dong was silent for a long time before slowly saying, "It's my fault, I'm a bad mother... Also, you don't need to remind me of anything. I don't have much desire for the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire now. This is just a way to help me achieve some other things."

"I am Xue Qinghe now... not Qian Renxue." Qian Renxue said again.

"Okay, Xue'er... Xue Qinghe can also be Xue'er." Bibi Dong said with a smile on her lips.

When Qian Jun, Jiang Mo, and Walter returned to the palace and came to the main hall, what they saw was this scene:

"Xue Qinghe" and Bibi Dong were sitting on the dragon chair together, the former leaning on the latter's shoulder, both of them with happy and sweet smiles on their faces, like a pair of lovers in love.

The corners of Qian Jun and Jiang Mo's mouths couldn't help but twitch. Although they knew that the "Xue Qinghe" in front of them was actually Qian Renxue, and although they knew their true relationship, they still felt a sense of disharmony.

Seeing a "man" leaning on Bibi Dong's shoulder, even Walter, the proposer of the plan, was dumbfounded.

Walter restrained his mind and straightened his face: "No one in Yue Xuan is alive, including Tang Hao's sister, Tang Yuehua."

Bibi Dong nodded calmly, stood up, the smile on her face became restrained, and replaced it with that dignified and solemn look again:

"You've done a good job. Qian Jun, Jiang Mo, you two stay here to protect Xue'er. Walter, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, you three come with me... to the Clear Sky Sect."

"Yes."

"Bibi Dong, I also want to see the last moment of the former number one sect in the world." Qian Renxue, disguised as "Xue Qinghe," seemed to be very much in character, directly calling her name, as if she really regarded herself as Bibi Dong's husband.

Bibi Dong's eyes twitched slightly, and she said softly, "Someone needs to preside over the overall situation in the palace."

She looked at Walter, knowing that he had a blood feud with Tang Hao, and the destruction of the Clear Sky Sect could not be left to him. Then she looked at Yue Guan and Gui Mei, sighed, and shook her head slightly...

"Elder Qian Jun, Elder Jiang Mo, can I trouble you to stay in Heaven Dou City to preside over the overall situation?" Bibi Dong asked.

"Your Majesty the Pope, if there are any classics or something from the Clear Sky Sect, please be sure to keep them safe." Jiang Mo Douluo said.

"We are very interested in the Clear Sky Sect's combat skills." Qian Jun said.

"I know, I will have people pay attention." Bibi Dong nodded.

She did not have a completely commanding attitude towards these Worships, and still maintained great respect.

Because of the Rakshasa God's inheritance, her strength was temporarily restricted and she could not fully exert her strength. Her strength was not much stronger than the combined strength of Qian Jun and Jiang Mo.

Qian Renxue said to them, "Grandpa Qian Jun, Grandpa Jiang Mo, if there are any problems in Heaven Dou City, you can let Dennis handle them. He will maintain order. But I also hope that you can provide some help when he needs it. Relying on the royal guards alone may be a little overwhelmed."

"Don't worry, Miss." Jiang Mo replied.

"We will do our best." Qian Jun said.

Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, Walter, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei left the palace. After leaving Heaven Dou City, Qian Renxue returned to her original appearance, and three pairs of wings opened from her back, greatly increasing her speed. In the vast night, the five people sped towards the Clear Sky Sect.

In the palace, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo retracted their gazes from gazing at the night sky. They summoned Dennis.

"Lords, what are your orders?" Dennis asked respectfully.

"It's not an order. His Highness Xue Qinghe asked us to stay and assist you in maintaining order in the palace and Heaven Dou City. He doesn't want to cause too much turmoil. In addition, if you feel that there are any unstable factors, you can also inform us, and we will take action to deal with them," Qian Jun replied.

"I understand." Dennis raised his left hand and pinched his monocle.

Qian Jun's face stiffened, and then relaxed. Qian Renxue had mentioned this to them, that Dennis had been her old subordinate for more than ten years, and had always had the habit of wearing a monocle, and told them not to think too much about it.

Jiang Mo said in a subtle tone, "I think you should change the habit of wearing a monocle, it's easy to make people think of a certain evil character. But you wear it on your left eye, and he wears it on his right eye."

"Oh, is that so." Dennis followed the good advice, took off the monocle on his left eye, wiped it carefully with silk, and then put it on his right eye, adjusted its position, and said with a chuckle:

"Sorry, I put it on the wrong place."

Seeing the respect on Dennis's face disappear, replaced by a playful and teasing expression, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo took a step back uncontrollably, their minds were silent.

After a few seconds, Qian Jun asked with a solemn expression:

"You are... Amon?"

"That's right, it's me. Surprise, surprise?" Dennis said with an obvious smile.

"No, this is inconsistent with the information. Didn't it say that your disturbance of fate can only interfere with soul masters who are lower in rank than you? We are all Titled Douluos, unless you have crossed that step and become a god... Or, the latter part of the information is wrong, and your replacement can hide from anyone?"

Qian Jun frowned, looking at Amon with a bit of fear and trepidation.

Dennis laughed and raised his hand to pinch his monocle:

"Since Qian Renxue can pretend to be 'Xue Qinghe', then why can't I pretend in a similar way? Do I have to use the 'Trojan Horse of Destiny,' a skill with a great burden?"

Qian Jun and Jiang Mo carefully looked at Dennis a few times, but they still couldn't find any inconsistencies in the other party. They felt a chill in their hearts again. Not only did he have the terrifying ability to replace others in terms of fate, but he was also so similar when disguised, and there was not a trace of abnormality!

They suddenly thought, since Amon has such an ability, could he have infiltrated the Spirit Hall and disguised himself as a core member?

How many people will be trustworthy in the future?

Qian Jun and Jiang Mo looked at each other and saw the heaviness in each other's eyes.

Of course you can't see anything unusual... because Amon is not disguised, but parasitic!

He had planted "Worms of Time" in Dennis's body a long time ago, but he had never activated them, and he had not controlled the other party's consciousness.

Dennis's actions were all out of his own will, and Amon had only activated this casually buried idle chess piece just now.

Activating it didn't have much important meaning, he just thought it was interesting and simply wanted to scare Qian Jun and Jiang Mo.

Under the hostile gaze of Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, Dennis smiled and reached out his hand to grab forward.

Yan Jin, who was sleepy-eyed, appeared beside him.

Yan Jin seemed to have not woken up yet. He rubbed his eyes and asked, yawning, "Amon, who are we hitting?"
