Douluo Dalu: Start with a Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgement

Chapter 411: Expected Assassination
Regarding Orange's worries, Xu Tianran said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, as long as you don't reveal your identity, there will be a result tonight. Even if the rare metals are to be smuggled, the profits must be in the hands of the royal family. Moreover, the appetite of the Holy Spirit Church is so big that without this profit, they will not be stable."

Orange suddenly felt hesitant to say something, but held back.

"What? Are you worried that if I cooperate with the Holy Spirit Cult, I will seek skin from a tiger?" Xu Tianran could see the doubts in her heart at a glance.

Juzi nodded gently and said, "After all, the Holy Spirit Church is a sect composed of evil soul masters, which is not tolerated by the world. The way they think is completely different from us normal soul masters. I am afraid..."

Xu Tianran waved his hand and said, "I know that cooperating with them is like seeking the skin of a tiger. But now I have no choice but to do it."

"In terms of the speed of soul guide development, the three countries that originally belonged to Douluo Continent can't catch up with us even if they try their best. Our national strength is far superior to theirs. However, in terms of real strength, we can deal with a country, but it is extremely difficult to rule the entire continent."

"Why haven't those three countries devoted themselves to developing soul guides? It's not just because they lack rare metals. More importantly, it's due to the deep-rooted concept of soul masters. The powerful profession of soul master has existed on Douluo Continent for too long. A powerful soul master is a strategic existence for a country. In terms of the number of soul masters, we are far from being comparable to those three countries, especially in terms of high-end combat power. Think about it, how many Titled Douluo are there in Shrek Academy alone? Perhaps, hundreds of years later, our Sun-Moon Empire will accumulate enough strength, soul guides and excellent soul masters to unify the continent. However, I can't live that long. A real man should seize the day. I must conquer the entire continent during the days when I rule the empire."

Speaking of this, Xu Tianran's eyes were filled with enthusiasm.

Ever since that assassination attempt, he has been completely ruined, and his only obsession now is to conquer the entire Douluo Continent.

"If we want to conquer the continent, we need allies and high-end combat power to confront those powerful Title Douluo head-on. Soul engineers are not afraid of those soul masters when they are fully prepared and arranged, and they are even far superior to soul masters in large-scale operations. However, a ninth-level soul engineer has almost no chance of winning against a true Title Douluo soul master in an encounter, and every ninth-level soul engineer is an invaluable asset to the empire. Therefore, I will not use them to deal with those soul masters and Title Douluo. In this case, the best choice is to cooperate with the Holy Spirit Church."

"The evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church have endured for countless years and accumulated for countless years to reach their current size. In terms of high-end combat power, they are our biggest gain. Since the Holy Spirit Church itself is composed entirely of evil soul masters, it is impossible for them to stand in front of the stage and do anything. Therefore, they can only stay behind the scenes and let me be the person in front of the stage. They and I have always been in a mutually beneficial relationship. Their most important request is nothing to me. They just want to become the state religion of our Sun Moon Empire, and the leader will inherit the position of state teacher. At the same time, after we rule the continent, we must announce to the world that they are the orthodox soul masters and abolish the title of evil soul masters."

"So, you don't need to worry about anything. Even if we have conflicts, it will be after we unify the continent. By that time, I may have accumulated enough strength."

At this point, a hint of coldness flashed in Xu Tianran's eyes.

Juzi listened quietly, feeling a chill in her heart. Xu Tianran was too thoughtful and had taken everyone into account. The only thing she was worried about now was whether Ji Lin and the others could leave Mingdu safely. She hoped he was safe!
Thinking of Ji Lin, Ju Zi felt a little complicated. Although she decided to give up the unrealistic idea, she couldn't help but feel sad when she saw the beautiful women around him. Maybe in his heart, I am nothing! But she still took the risk to send the letter, hoping that Ji Lin could leave the vortex of Mingdu as soon as possible.

Xu Tianran said: "Juzi, push me to the window."

"Yes." Juzi hurriedly pushed Xu Tianran's wheelchair to the window and helped him open the window.

The night wind blew, bringing a chill. Tonight, the sky was dark, and as the night deepened, the light became dimmer. Xu Tianran looked at the sky and smiled, "If you want to watch the game, you have to leave now."

Juzi shook her head and said, "No, I will stay here with Your Highness."

Xu Tianran showed a rare warm smile on his face and said, "Only when I'm alone with you can I feel at ease. You're the only person I can fully trust. Unfortunately, I'm destined not to enjoy this beautiful night in peace. If you don't go to watch the game, remember not to leave my side later. They should be here soon."

Orange was surprised and asked, "Who is coming? It's so late."

Xu Tianran sneered, "Some people won't give up their stupid decisions just because of the time."

At this moment, suddenly, an old voice sounded in the air, "Since you are all here, don't hide your head and show your tail, come out."

A large number of guards rushed out in an instant, surrounding the study where Xu Tianran was. Suddenly, a ball of white light appeared in the sky, illuminating every detail of the dark night sky.

A figure was so proudly suspended in the air above the study of Crown Prince Xu Tianran, his black robe gently swaying in the night breeze. He stood in the air expressionlessly, but there was an indescribable pride on his old face, as if the whole world was submitting to him.

"When did Dragon Emperor Douluo become someone's running dog to guard the house? People's hearts have changed!" A strange voice was heard, and the sky seemed to suddenly split open. A thick dark green cloud appeared out of nowhere. The green cloud bloomed, and a figure walked out of it.

What’s a bit funny is that this old man is bald, but he has long dark green hair on the back of his head.

That's right, what was suspended above Xu Tianran's study was Dragon King Douluo Long Xiaoyao, known as the Dark Holy Dragon.

At this time, the one who stepped out from the green mist was the leader of the Body Sect, the ninety-eighth level Body Douluo Du Bu Si, who was close to the level of Ultimate Douluo.

Only a strong man of his level dares to face Long Xiaoyao, who is at the Extreme Douluo level.

Looking at the green-haired Du Bu Si, Long Xiaoyao snorted coldly, "Your brother was seriously injured by Moon En back then. Today, if you also want to stay here and cut off your lineage, I will grant your wish."

Du Bu Si narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Long Xiaoyao, don't take advantage of your age here. If I remember correctly, you are originally from the Heavenly Soul Empire. Now you have not only fallen to joining the evil soul master sect, but also become a running dog of the Sun and Moon Empire. This sect master looks down on you."

Hearing the words Tianhun Empire, Long Xiaoyao's face moved slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Has your Noumenon Sect really surrendered to the Tianhun Empire?"

Du Bu Si said disdainfully: "What do you mean by surrender? We are cooperating. Our sect is now the sect that protects the Tianhun Empire. Long Xiaoyao, if you still consider yourself a member of the Tianhun Empire, get out of the way."

Although Du Bu Si said so, he would have to bear tremendous pressure to face a strong man like Long Xiaoyao at the level of Ultimate Douluo. If he could drive Long Xiaoyao away, it would naturally be the best result.

Although there is only one step between level ninety-eight and level ninety-nine, there is actually a world of difference between the two. If not for this, with his character, when he asked for the stigmata making technology in Shrek City, he would not have easily compromised in front of Dragon God Douluo Moon and Red Kite Douluo.

Facing the Extreme Douluo, he did not dare to act recklessly. Even the half-crippled Mu Lao could suppress him, not to mention Chi Yuan and Long Xiaoyao in their prime.

Long Xiaoyao shook his head and said calmly, "Since you have fought for the Heavenly Soul Empire, I will spare your life today. There is no point in talking nonsense. You should understand the rules of the Titled Douluo. If you get involved in worldly disputes, we will talk in heaven. Xuanzi, you should also come out. Today, I will meet you all together."

As he spoke, Long Xiaoyao shook his body and instantly rose into the sky thousands of meters above the ground. Behind him, figures appeared one after another.

Among them were Zhang Peng, the Scorpion Tiger Douluo, and the mysterious national teacher of the Sun Moon Empire, as well as a dozen other figures. Undoubtedly, these people were all powerful people above the Title Douluo level. Some were elders of the Holy Spirit Church, and some were ninth-level soul mentors of the Sun Moon Empire.

There is an unwritten rule in the spirit master world that if a Title Douluo-level warrior gets involved in a secular battle, in order to avoid the loss of lives, the sky will be their battlefield, and only the winning side will be qualified to attack those below the Title Douluo level on the other side. As long as there is still one Title Douluo on the opponent who has not been defeated, these Title Douluo-level warriors cannot get involved in secular battles.

War is the most harmful to civilians, and once a Title Douluo uses all his strength, it is not difficult to even massacre an entire city. With this restriction, at least in the wars over the past ten thousand years, casualties have been greatly reduced. The rules proposed by Long Xiaoyao also come from this.

Neither he, the Ultimate Douluo, nor the original sect master Du Bu Si, would break the rules.

They all knew very well that if they broke the rules, the other party would also break the rules, then the entire continent would be devastated. Therefore, no matter what their purpose was, they had to place the battlefield in the sky, and to attack the palace, they could only rely on those strong men below the ninth ring.
