Douluo: Peerless Sky Eye Yuhao
Chapter 396 Xu Tianran kills his father, Kong Deming's plan
Everything was settled, and with the witnesses and cheers of countless people, the name of Shrek Academy was heard in the suburbs of Mingdu.
At this moment, all those who hated evil soul masters united together and no longer quarreled because of their different forces.
The members of the Haotian Sect also applauded with smiles on their faces. There were records in the sect that said that ten thousand years ago, the ancestor Tang San personally destroyed the Killing City where the evil soul masters gathered, making this devil's cave no longer exist. As descendants, they of course shared the honor and disgrace.
Some of the soldiers of the Royal Soul Instructor Corps also subconsciously wanted to throw punches, until they were glared at by their commander, and then they put them down with a wry smile.
In the rest area, everyone in the Poseidon family watched this scene in silence. The cheers of hundreds of thousands of people were truly astonishing.
"What do you think? If we are the ones who defeat the Holy Spirit Sect, can we use this opportunity to promote Lord Poseidon?"
A member of the Poseidon family thought for a moment and said.
Hearing this, everyone looked at him. Chen Wanyun and Poseidon looked at each other, their eyes changed slightly.
On the competition stage.
Qiu Tang was still frozen by the ice, her eyes were wide open, and there were layers of bloodshot around her gray pupils. Her face was hideous, and it seemed that she was not having an easy time facing her own soul skills.
In the end, Jing Hongchen took her away.
Huo Yuhao did not object, since Qiu Tang’s spiritual sea had completely collapsed anyway.
Looking at the younger generations who were celebrating enthusiastically in the rest area, Yan Shaozhe and several other strong men stood side by side, communicating through voice transmission.
"According to the time, the palace is almost done. Xu Tianran rushed back, and I don't know if our plan can go smoothly." Old Song looked towards the direction of the Sun and Moon Palace with some concern.
"No problem." Xuan Zi said while biting a chicken leg, "As long as the old emperor wakes up, Xu Tianran's ending will not be good, unless he dares to kill his father."
While people were whispering here, Jing Hongchen was maintaining order while wondering why Xu Tianran left suddenly.
Obviously, he was unaware of certain things that had happened.
……
The original grandeur of the huge palace was gone and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
Countless armored soldiers and even soul guides shuttled through it, controlling all the eunuchs and palace maids and surrounding the entire palace. There were also dozens of jammers distributed around to block soul guide communications, so not even a mosquito could get through.
The ruler of these people is called Xu Tianran.
"Xu Tianming is in Zihuang Palace. His Majesty has already woken up. We don't know any more details."
The corridor of the palace was filled with fully armed soldiers. Ju Zi followed Xu Tianran and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, the priests in the Worship Hall only obey His Majesty's orders. During the time we were here, some of the priests were most likely called over by His Majesty."
Xu Tianran said coldly: "You only need to seal off the palace, and I will take care of the rest. Remember, except for our own people, no one else should be allowed in. Anyone who trespasses will be killed!"
"Yes." Juzi took the order and left the team in a corridor leading to Zihuang Palace.
With the support of his personal guards, Xu Tianran quickly arrived at Zihuang Palace. As soon as he arrived, his pupils shrank slightly. On the steps of the palace, there were several human heads.
Without exception, these people were his spies planted in the Zihuang Palace.
Xu Tianran stared at the heads in silence for a while, not knowing what he was thinking. Until he heard a heavy sound of a door opening, he raised his head again and saw the main gate of Zihuang Palace slowly opening.
There was no sound inside the door, it was eerily quiet.
"Your Highness." The Eastern Palace's personal guards all turned their gazes towards Xu Tianran.
"You stay here, I will go in alone." Xu Tianran said calmly. When no one could see him, he sighed softly.
These people are not only personal guards, but also dead servants. They will obey whatever His Highness orders.
But just as everyone was about to lift the wheelchair and walk up the stairs, Xu Tianran just walked up in front of everyone's shocked gazes.
The moment he started walking, a cold murderous intent was infinitely restrained in his eyes. Xu Tianran took one step at a time and came to the front of the palace. At this moment, his eyes immediately met several gazes.
Starry Sky Douluo: Ye Yulin.
Fire Axe Douluo: Geng Chuanxing.
Frost Douluo: Meng Yuping
……
As many as five Douluo priests from the Sun-Moon Empire's Worship Hall stood on both sides and watched Xu Tianran walk in.
They were a little surprised that Xu Tianran was able to get up and walk.
There was no figure of the chief priest... Xu Tianran's eyes moved slightly, and soon he looked towards the innermost part of the palace, then bowed and saluted: "Father."
Sitting on the main seat, a middle-aged man with a strong physique but a weak breath sat there. He was wearing a simple robe. His pair of tiger eyes were quite cold and without any emotion, and he exuded an invisible murderous aura that made people's heart palpitate.
It was the Sun and Moon Emperor who had been in a coma for a long time.
Next to him, stood a young man respectfully. It was Xu Tianming.
Looking at Xu Tianran who was bowing, Xu Tianming's lips curled up into a subtle smile, "Brother, brother, I won after all."
"I really gave birth to a good son." The old emperor's tone was very dull, with a very complicated feeling in it.
After Xu Tianran finished his greeting, he raised his head and looked directly at his father. Suddenly, he laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" The old emperor frowned.
"Father." Xu Tianran kept smiling and said calmly, "You shouldn't have woken up."
The old emperor's expression froze, and Xu Tianming and the five worshippers at the scene were all slightly surprised.
It seemed that no one had expected that even at this point in the situation, he would still dare to say such treasonous words.
"Asshole." Although the old emperor had not fully recovered, he was still a Titled Douluo-level warrior. In a rage, a terrifying pressure swept out in an instant, and the decorations in the palace continued to shake as if they had encountered an earthquake and hurricane.
Xu Tianran stood firmly in place, gathering the soul power in his body to protect him from the pressure.
"You poisoned your own father. Why did I give birth to a beast like you?" The old emperor was furious, his face flushed red, but after saying this, he started coughing repeatedly, and his chest felt like it was on fire.
"Father, please take care of yourself." Xu Tianming hurried forward to comfort his father.
Hearing this, Xu Tianran narrowed his eyes and said, "Isn't this what you are learning? Who poisoned your own brother back then? Who killed your own brother's entire family back then?"
The old emperor's pupils shrank. This matter was a taboo in the royal family, and Xu Tianran pointed it out today.
The priests present had different expressions. In fact, they all knew what happened that year, but before they could react, the emperor had already died, and there was no time to rescue him.
Because the late emperor valued his blood relatives so much that he took almost no precautions. This is why such a great emperor died so casually.
Later, when the new emperor ascended the throne, if you did not submit, the final outcome would be either to leave the court or to die. In the end, some of them compromised with the current emperor and continued to serve, while others stayed away from the court and did not care about worldly affairs.
Without waiting for the old emperor to get angry again, Xu Tianran said in a cold voice: "Father, during the years you have been in power, the people of the empire have been living in poverty, and the nobles have been constantly rebelling. All along, you have not sought merit, but only avoided mistakes, and have seemed easygoing with everything. However, with such indulgence, everything in the court and among the people seems to be calm, but in fact it has long been turbulent. The empire needs an emperor with iron-blooded means to change all this, rather than letting an emperor who does nothing continue to harm the foundation of our ancestors."
"I, Xu Tianran, will lead the empire's army to crush all enemies on this continent and plant the sun and moon flags on every piece of land. Father, please abdicate."
The plausible voice echoed in the palace, and everything fell silent.
Everyone present looked shocked.
Xu Tianming was even more incredulous. He had thought of all the actions Xu Tianran would take after arriving here, but he had never imagined that the other party would be so direct and outrageous.
There was not even the slightest thought of covering up or making excuses. He was determined to go all out and completely break off relations, leaving no way out for himself.
"You..." The old emperor's eyes widened with anger, and he shouted coldly, "Catch him."
Hearing this, the five worshipping Douluo standing on the side collectively locked their eyes on Xu Tianran, and the aura of the five Titled Douluo burst out at the same time.
Xu Tianran's body sank slightly, but he didn't care and smiled coldly at the old emperor and Xu Tianming.
Long before he came to the palace, he knew that once the emperor woke up, there would only be two paths left for him.
One is to surrender, with his life or death uncertain.
One is to take a gamble, launch a rebellion and seize the throne.
And his choice was the second one. He already had the ability to do it, but as a son, no matter how cruel he was, he only chose the most time-consuming and labor-intensive method.
Instead of killing people directly.
call out.
Suddenly, thick black fog emerged from the old emperor and Xu Tianming, and a hand quietly stabbed out towards the old emperor's back.
If it could hit the target, the old emperor would die on the spot.
"Your Majesty." The eyes of the five priests who had already controlled Xu Tianran suddenly changed.
But the old emperor had struggled all the way and risked his life to ascend the throne, and he was not a pushover either. He almost immediately sensed the murderous intent coming from behind.
With an angry snort, his whole body lit up with the scorching sun's light. Under the terrifying momentum, the dragon throne shattered in an instant and even melted.
The attacking arm shrank back frantically as if it had been burned, and turned into a ray of residual light, hiding again in the shadow of the palace.
"Father." Xu Tianming's face was solemn, and he quickly called out the eighth-level peak defensive soul guide. He had a triggered invincible shield on him, so he was naturally not afraid of sudden attacks. But it was different for his father. He had just woken up and didn't wear many things.
"No problem." The old emperor waved his hand to signal Xu Tianming.
"Shadow Douluo Xuechen."
After forcing the enemy back, the old emperor's face was no longer filled with anger. Instead, there was only indifference. He looked coldly at Xu Tianran who was suppressed by the five priests and did not put up any resistance.
"Patricide?"
"You're fine."
"You know, I never thought of killing you. After all, you are my son no matter what. I waited for you to come here because I hoped you would make the right choice. But why did you choose the wrong path?"
Nine soul rings rose from under the old emperor's feet, one of which was blood red.
You know, he was the most powerful cultivation genius in the royal family back then.
He became a Titled Douluo at the age of thirty-nine.
After the attack failed, Xu Tianran did not show any regret. He sneered and said, "Father, you don't think that I am not prepared, do you?"
"Heh." At this moment, the light in the entire Zihuang Palace dimmed rapidly, and the space around Xu Tianran was instantly torn apart. A figure stepped out, and dark red blood light exploded. The five priests who were able to suppress Xu Tianran flew backwards in an instant. The horrible impact force caused the five ninth-level soul masters to spurt blood and their internal organs were almost displaced.
After relieving Xu Tianran's pressure, Zhongli Wu stood beside him with his hands behind his back. Under his feet, terrifying six black and three red soul rings rose up. The atmosphere in the entire palace was suppressed to the extreme.
"Zhongli Wu." The old emperor's eyes were cold. "The mark left on the barrier of my spiritual sea was made by you, right?"
Zhongli Wu did not deny it. He looked at the old emperor and said, "I'm curious, how did you wake up?"
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Xu Tianming, and suddenly a shocking pressure enveloped him. Xu Tianming was only a Soul Douluo, and facing the pressure of a level 98 Super Douluo, he was almost immediately defeated. He seemed to be carrying a mountain on his back, and his legs fell heavily to the ground, with even signs of broken bones.
Under the powerful pressure, he couldn't even utter a cry of pain.
The old emperor had a calm look in his eyes, and was about to take action immediately, but before he could do so, Shadow Douluo Xue Chen attacked again from the shadows.
The old emperor became alert and quickly activated his soul power. The sunlight on his body roared out with scorching waves, which was almost a natural ability to defeat Xue Chen, causing his surprise attack to fail again.
"After removing the Blood Seal of Death, he can recover so quickly. The only person in Douluo Continent who can do this is the Medical Immortal Douluo of Xingluo Empire." Zhongli Wu made an analysis, "Why is that bitch still alive?"
With a sinister look in his eyes, he said in a cold voice: "Do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, groups of powerful men from the Holy Spirit Cult quickly appeared around the Zihuang Palace. Their mission was to contain the Worshiper Douluo.
The ninth-level soul guide is indeed powerful. If they are a thousand meters away, they can even suppress the Super Douluo who has just broken through. But once the distance is shortened, their combat power will be weakened too much.
boom.
A whistling, fiery light burst out, dispelling the pressure on Xu Tianming. Before the latter could say anything, the old emperor grabbed his shoulders and threw him behind.
The wall suddenly split into a halo, and Xu Tianming fell into it and disappeared in an instant.
This action immediately made Xu Tianran look surprised.
Zhongli Wu was also a little surprised. He spread his mental power, but did not find any trace of Xu Tianming left. Was he teleported away?
The Priest Douluo and the Holy Spirit Church elders who were fighting fiercely also restrained their actions.
"From the moment the Holy Spirit Church helped you, I understood one thing: Tianming can never defeat you." After throwing Xu Tianming away, the old emperor stood with his hands behind his back, not caring about Zhongli Wu's terrifying strength, and spoke in a calm tone.
Xu Tianran asked with a burning gaze: "Why?"
The old emperor looked at Xu Tianran with complicated eyes, "The Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Group's duty is to protect the palace. From beginning to end, they have never appeared. It is very likely that they have been subdued by you, right?"
Xu Tianran was silent.
"Not only them, most of the nobles in Mingdu have already secretly submitted to you. All of Tianming's actions have long been exposed to you. This fool thought he controlled them and could fight against you."
Xu Tianran's eyes changed slightly.
Yes, the Mingdu aristocracy that Xu Tianming was proud of had secretly joined his camp a long time ago. The power he now controls is enough to sweep away all enemies.
He had never dealt with Xu Tianming directly, not only because he still had the last blood relationship with his father, but most importantly, the chief priest Kong Deming would not allow it.
Xu Tianming grew up with the old man in his childhood.
As for Kong Deming, it is no exaggeration to say that most of the ninth-level soul masters in the empire today are his disciples. Even the "Basics of Soul Masters" was compiled by him. He is a totem-level figure among soul masters. If they don't listen to him, even with the help of the Holy Spirit Church, he will never be able to ascend to the throne.
Kong Deming did not stop him from colluding with the Holy Spirit Church. The reason was that he also advocated the existence of war. The Holy Spirit Church could be used as a sharp blade to attack the strong men of Shrek Academy. This would free up the soul masters of the empire, who could play a greater role on the battlefield and even preserve their strength. Once the continent was unified, they could immediately point their guns at the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church and complete the cleansing.
Kong Deming did not stop him from using the Holy Spirit Church to attack the emperor. That was because of the late emperor. When the late emperor was alive, he was his closed disciple. The late emperor had an extremely high talent for soul guidance, almost the strongest in the royal family. How could he not be angry when he was killed like this?
"You are right. I am not a good candidate to be an emperor, so your grandfather passed the throne to your uncle." The old emperor sighed and said, "The nobles are entangled with each other, and the roots are deep. I want to dismantle them, but my methods are far inferior to your uncle's. This is why no one questioned the usurpation of the throne."
"When I realized that I could not dismantle the nobility no matter what, I gave up. This is why you say that I have done nothing. It's not that I don't want to do it, but that I can't do it."
"I have thought about this for a long time. There may be only one way to break this dilemma. That is to launch a war against the three kingdoms of the original Douluo Continent, create a highly centralized emperor, and then purge the nobles."
The old emperor stared at Xu Tianran with sharp eyes and said, "And you are the emperor I intend to create."
"This is also the reason why, even though you had health problems, I never abolished your position as Crown Prince, and I didn't even forbid you from contacting the various soul guide groups or even the top brass of the army."
"It's just a pity that we, father and son, have come to this point."
Xu Tianran's eyes froze. If that was the case, wouldn't it be a stupid decision for him to take action against his father?
No matter who it is, once he is labeled as a patricide, it will be like a stone that can never be thrown away and will always weigh on him, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"It's time to make a decision." Zhongli Wu didn't want to listen to the father and son's nagging conversation.
Xu Tianran paused, took a deep breath, stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Father, please abdicate."
All the worshippers looked at the old emperor.
"I really made a good start." The old emperor sighed to himself. He looked at his eldest son with a gloomy face, opened his mouth and whispered a few words.
There seemed to be a gust of wind blowing inside the Zihuang Palace, and the emotions in Xu Tianran's eyes gradually became excited.
……
The air was filled with the smell of metal.
An old man looked calmly at the humanoid soul guide in front of him, and said without turning his head: "So, Xu Tianran didn't kill his father?"
"Reporting to the Great Priest, no." A deep voice sounded. If Xu Tianran was here, he would be shocked, because this person was none other than Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin.
The old man smiled and said, "It's a pity. If he kills his father, I will have a reason to abolish his throne after the empire unifies the continent in the future."
Ye Yulin said in a deep voice: "Great Priest, what should we do next?"
"Wait." The old man said calmly, "Wait until the empire starts the war."
"As you wish." Ye Yulin said respectfully. (End of this chapter)
