Douluo: Start by taking control of the Holy Spirit Church Saint

Chapter 324: Trap for the Demon King

Sun and Moon Empire, Royal Palace.

Xu Tianran sat in the hall, holding a cup of tea in his hand, sipping the fragrant tea silently.

The tea used in the Sun-Moon Empire's palace is of very fine quality. It is made from carefully selected high mountain tea, semi-fermented, and then secretly brewed using a special method. The annual output is very small, and only the royal family can have some of it.

The faint aroma of tea lingered in the air, and Xu Tianran's mood seemed very calm, without much fluctuation.

Xu Tianran sat in the second seat, and next to him was the throne.

"In these troubled times, have you used all the resources you can mobilize?" Xu Tianran seemed very relaxed and said with a smile.

Luan Shi, who was standing in front of him, was wearing a reddish-brown palace dress. He responded respectfully, “Your Highness, I have already made all the arrangements. If the Demon King Huo Yuhao really dares to come, he will be killed on the spot!”

"I'm at ease with you doing the job." Xu Tianran tapped the table lightly with his fingers. Suddenly, the entire palace became as silent as death, with only the sound of his fingers tapping the table.

“You said that the Demon King Huo Yuhao has such strength at such a young age. It is really rare. It would be a pity if such a genius died young. Or, can he be used by me?”

Xu Tianran pondered for a moment, and actually said the idea that Gou Luanshi was most unwilling to hear.

“Your Highness, Huo Yuhao is unruly and relies on his powerful background to do whatever he wants. I’m afraid he will be difficult to subdue.” Gou Luanshi hurriedly persuaded.

"It's okay. Being young and frivolous is the nature of young people. When I was his age, wasn't I also ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth?" Xu Tianran waved his hand, "The most important thing is that this person has weaknesses."

Gou Luanshi raised his head instantly, as if he understood something, "You mean, his woman?"

Xu Tianran did not delve further into this topic, and then he suddenly thought of something.

"What happened to the girl I sent you to investigate last time?"

“Your Highness, the girl’s name is Juzi. It seems that Huo Yuhao met her at the Fighting Spirit Competition three years ago. It is said that the relationship between the two is very important. Her father Huang Bin currently works in the Sun Moon Royal Kitchen…”

Gou Luanshi immediately reported the truth and told Juzi's life story in detail.

"I heard that this person is very talented in military command. In the last military exercise of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, he led several soul instructors with pure auxiliary martial spirits to defeat the enemy who was several times his size with a small number of people."

"Hmm... military talent, what a great military talent..." Xu Tianran nodded slightly, a thoughtful look on his face, then turned to Gou Luanshi: "Do you think this girl can be the military commander-in-chief of my future conquest of the continent?"

“Your humble servant… feels something is not right.” Gou Luanshi’s face looked unhappy. “This woman is too close to Huo Yuhao, and Huo Yuhao is implementing a policy that puts the people first in the Tianhun Empire. I’m afraid that…”

“If she loses her virginity and her parents are under control, she might be able to be used by me.” Xu Tianran laughed and took out an imperial edict from the table. “The head of Mingde Hall has always remained neutral and is still the backer of Huo Yuhao’s female companions, but everyone has weaknesses. Send someone to find an opportunity to control her parents, and force that Ju Zi to leave Mingde Hall and come to me. I have plenty of ways to make her mine.”

“Yes!” Gou Luanshi was secretly delighted. He knew Huo Yuhao’s temper very well. If Xu Tianran offended that guy to death, he would definitely not submit to the Crown Prince. In this way, he could deal with Huo Yuhao without any scruples. “After the edict is issued, you should come back and serve me to bed.”

Just as Gou Luanshi was happily walking out of the hall with the imperial edict, Xu Tianran suddenly said.

Gou Luanshi's face turned pale immediately, and a trace of barely perceptible disgust flashed across the depths of his eyes, but he still responded in a flattered tone: "It is a great blessing for me to be able to serve Your Highness."

Only then did Xu Tianran lean back peacefully on the recliner, his narrowed eyes reflecting a morbid desire.

After half a day of flying, Huo Yuhao and the others were getting closer to their destination. According to the map, they would be able to reach the Risen City soon.

Time passed in a boring flight. When the endless and long journey once again crossed a majestic mountain, the outline of a huge fortress suddenly appeared at the end of the sight.

Risheng City is built on the mountain, about 400 miles away from Mingdu, just south of Mingdu, surrounded by endless plains. The monotonous terrain was very unfavorable for the rescue operation after the Mingdu competition in the original book. It is like a tiger, guarding the main road leading to the outside of the city. Anyone who wants to leave the city must pass through this huge fortress. This heavily guarded fortress has swallowed up countless rebel souls over the years, and this is also why many surrounding forces are afraid of it.

Risheng City is only a small to medium-sized city in the entire Sun Moon Empire. It is far from being as grand and majestic as Mingdu, with a permanent population of only about 100,000 households and a total population of less than 500,000.

However, because of the world-renowned matchmaking conference, the city has begun to change in recent months. A large number of soul guide searchlights and soul guide detectors were installed on the top of the city wall, which was about five meters high. Outside the Sunrise City, there were four soul guide groups of 500 people stationed.

In the Sun-Moon Empire, the Soul Instructor Group actually has different levels.

The most powerful of them is the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Group, which is the most powerful force in the entire Sun Moon Empire. The entry threshold of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Group is level 50. In other words, you must have at least the Soul King level to join. The total number of Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Group is about 300. Among them, the three chief and deputy chiefs are all powerful level 9 soul instructors, who are only loyal to the royal family.

And now, this extremely powerful Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Corps has been secretly stationed in Risheng City. Together with three other well-equipped Soul Master Corps, even if an Extreme Douluo wants to invade, he has to consider his own strength.

Only the Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was appointed in times of crisis could call upon this powerful Soul Guide Corps. The Corps was equipped with the most sophisticated Soul Guide weapons and enjoyed the highest treatment among the Sun-Moon Empire's troops.

The financial resources needed to support such a legion alone are at least the total annual tax revenue of the two major cities in the Sun-Moon Empire!

This legion guards the Ming capital and is the emperor's most loyal and important fighting force. It is known as the two pillars of the royal family together with the secret palace worship hall.

And when these two forces are combined together, even powerful entities like the Holy Spirit Church and the Body Sect will be wary of them, let alone others.

This is also the maximum combat force that Xu Tianran can currently mobilize. In order to ensure the smooth convening of this blind date conference and guard against the extremely powerful Demon King Huo Yuhao, he has to use all his trump cards.

No matter how strong a person is, he can never escape the scope of human beings. Especially at the level of Moon and Ye Xishui, they even guessed that even the true gods that only exist in legends have limited power, which is just beyond the level of humans. Otherwise, the legendary Sea God Tang San ten thousand years ago would not have relied on the strength of the Titled Douluo and the special hidden weapon to injure the Angel God Qian Renxue, who had already become a god at that time!

The blind date conference is coming, and it will be on a grand scale. Almost every character in Douluo Dalu 2 will make an appearance. I hope I can grasp this chapter well.
