Douluo: Become the Pope of Destiny in the Unrivaled World

Chapter 215: Drinking the Bitter Wine
"Seal off the palace! Don't let anyone out!"

Kong Deming immediately issued an order, requiring the imperial guards to completely control the palace and prevent anyone from leaving.

Something big had happened. He had been so careful, but he still didn't expect such a problem to occur.

At the same time, Kong Deming also called all the other priests in the worship hall through a priest. They had to make a reasonable judgment on the current matter.

After waiting for a while, other priests from the Sun-Moon Empire's Temple of Worship, as well as the "national guardian" level soul masters and high-level officials arrived, and Kong Deming convened a small meeting.

This meeting will determine the future development of the Sun-Moon Empire and the current successor to the Sun-Moon Empire.

"This is what happened, and the scene we saw when we last came in."

After listening to their reports, Kong Deming's expression became increasingly worse.

All the evidence shows that this matter has nothing to do with Crown Prince Xu Tianran. When Crown Prince Xu Tianran rebelled, he had already been controlled by the imperial guards.

In addition, a commander of the imperial guards stated that he had stayed by Xu Tianran's side throughout the entire process and confirmed that Xu Tianran had been detained and nothing had gone wrong.

At the same time, after Xu Tianran was arrested by them, the emperor's palace was visited by the imperial guards and no problems were found.

These events show that it is impossible for Crown Prince Xu Tianran to kill the emperor. He simply did not have the opportunity or time.

But the fact is that the private army belonging to Crown Prince Xu Tianran did appear in the palace and was suspected of backstabbing the imperial guards guarding the emperor.

If you want to know the truth about this matter, it cannot be explained in just a few words.

But one thing is certain, Crown Prince Xu Tianran must have played a very important role in this matter.

"Tell me what you mean. This matter is definitely not that simple."

Kong Deming felt that he was still old and this kind of thing was beyond his ability.

The crown prince rebelled and killed his own father. If this matter were to get out, the royal family of their Sun-Moon Empire would be completely finished.

"This... it's hard for us to judge, but it is a fact that Crown Prince Xu Tianran is plotting a rebellion, and it is because of him that the chaos in Mingdu has occurred."

The priest's meaning was very simple, no matter what the truth of the matter was.

Crown Prince Xu Tianran definitely bears a great responsibility, he cannot escape this, so he must bear the price.

"That's right. The prince is plotting a rebellion. This is the first time I've heard of such a thing in all my years."

"If this gets out, our Sun Moon Empire will be completely finished."

The prince's rebellion is tantamount to a slap in the face of their Sun-Moon Empire.

My son wants to kill me. This is crazy no matter how I think about it!

"Master Jing Hongchen, please tell me your opinion. You are the person the emperor values ​​the most."

After listening for a long time, Kong Deming was not satisfied with the answers. Finally, he turned his attention to Jing Hongchen.

Although Jing Hongchen's ability is not as good as his, her position in the emperor's heart is definitely much higher than hers.

"…This matter has a lot to do with Crown Prince Xu Tianran. Now all the clues almost indicate that Crown Prince Xu Tianran has rebelled and murdered his father to seize power."

"But... I still don't think that Crown Prince Xu Tianran would do such a stupid thing." "Secondly, even if it was really done by Crown Prince Xu Tianran, this matter is not that important."

What Jing Hongchen meant was that the incident had already happened, and it was meaningless to investigate who was at fault now.

What they should do now is very simple, and there is only one thing they should do, which is to support a new emperor to come to power in order to stabilize the Sun and Moon Empire.

"Excuse me, Master Jing Hongchen, do you mean to tell us to pretend we know nothing and support Crown Prince Xu Tianran to take the throne?"

"He is one of the important figures in this matter. Even if he is not imprisoned to death, he should be exiled to become a civilian."

"What on earth are you thinking that you would support him to become the new emperor?"

Many people present couldn't understand it. They thought this matter was too crazy no matter how they thought about it. Xu Tianran's problems were too big. They were unwilling to support Xu Tianran.

"It's very simple. There is a force behind Xu Tianran."

"Holy Spirit Church... I believe that you have all read the confessions of the prince's followers and have some understanding of what the prince said."

"Excuse me, everyone. If we really want to depose the crown prince, then who will be the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, and who will be able to control the Holy Spirit Church?"

"There is more than one Ultimate Douluo. Please think carefully about this statement. It is not as simple as a simple sentence."

"It would be very troublesome for us to deal with even one Ultimate Douluo, not to mention that the Holy Spirit Church has more than one Ultimate Douluo."

"The other evil soul masters in the Holy Spirit Church are not simple beings either. Even if we rely on Mingdu's defense mechanism, we are confident that we will not be defeated in the battle against the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church."

"But what if the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church did not choose to fight to the death with us, but chose to leave Mingdu and attack the entire Sun-Moon Empire?"

"By that time, I'm afraid the Sun-Moon Empire will become a hell."

Jing Hongchen was considering things from a bigger perspective. He believed that the stability of the Holy Spirit Church was the most important thing at the moment.

Regardless of whether Crown Prince Xu Tianran murdered his father and rebelled or not, he had already won just by seducing the Holy Spirit Church.

"...this kind of thing." All the priests fell silent. They did not know the strength of the Holy Spirit Church.

But they probably have some understanding of the Titled Douluo-level evil soul masters who have appeared in recent years.

If the Holy Spirit Church really has more than one Ultimate Douluo, then even if the Sun-Moon Empire puts all its strength into it, it probably won't be a match for the Holy Spirit Church.

It is actually a good thing for the Sun-Moon Empire that Crown Prince Xu Tianran has the support of the Holy Spirit Church.

Even if it is a bowl of bitter wine, they have to drink it now. They have no other choice.

"Report, princes from all over the country are rebelling, the Tianhun Empire and Xingluo Empire have begun to attack, the front line is in crisis, please provide support!"

After hearing the information about the front line, everyone present felt even more complicated.

They understood that they had to make a decision now.

"...Bring Crown Prince Xu Tianran here, and notify all "titled" level soul guide teams to be fully armed and ready to go to the front line to participate in the war at any time."

Kong Deming decided that this time he would personally lead the attack and completely defeat the armies of the Tianhun Empire and the Xingluo Empire.
