Douluo: When Tang Wulin Met Little Huo Niang

Chapter 403: Furious Xu Tianran
"Snapped--!"

With the sound of a cup being smashed, Xu Tianran roared angrily:
"What did you say? The Evil Lord Soul Instructor Group was wiped out?! No one survived, not even Wang Yiheng and Xia Xuanchen—?!"

"Yes, yes...I dare not deceive your majesty!"

An official knelt in front of Xu Tianran, trembling all over, his expression and voice full of fear.

"..." Xu Tianran's eyes were red, he was panting, clenching his fists, and then finally he roared, "Get out! Don't let me see you again!"

"Yes, yes! Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!"

The minister kowtowed twice on the ground in gratitude, then crawled out of Xu Tianran's room.

Orange came to Xu Tianran's side and gently placed her hand on his. She said nothing, but used her actions to calm the rage in his heart.

Xu Tianran remained silent for a long time, and finally spoke with difficulty:

"Orange, do you think this is true?"

Orange said softly:

"Your Majesty, you are confused. You should not ask me if this is true, but what to do next. This is your usual style."

"……Too."

Xu Tianran couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The loss of the Evil King Soul Instructor Group was too painful for him.

The overall strength of the soul mentors of the Sun-Moon Empire is not strong. The reason why they have the current national strength is the result of hundreds and thousands of years of accumulation. Therefore, every loss of a soul mentor group is a huge blow, not to mention that the group that was wiped out is the Evil King Soul Mentor Group, one of the five national protectors.

The annihilation of the Evil King Soul Mentor Corps meant that the two top-level ninth-level soul mentors, Wang Yiheng and Xia Xuanchen, the powerful soul guides that the Evil King Soul Mentor Corps was equipped with, and the large amount of resources inherited by the Evil King Soul Mentor Corps were all gone forever.

This incident dealt a fundamental blow to the Sun-Moon Empire. Even if a new Evil Lord Soul Instructor Group was established in the future, its strength would hardly reach the level of the former Protector of the Nation.

It will take at least several decades to recover.

And these are just the visible losses, there are countless invisible damages besides.

For example, when the war broke out, the Sun-Moon Empire as a whole was united in hatred of the enemy, and was eager to fight against the Three Kingdoms of the Douluo family whose soul guide technology was backward. But now such a change has occurred. Not to mention the huge losses, how long it will take for the Sun-Moon Empire to recover. Just the voices against the war in the country will suddenly become much louder. This is definitely something Xu Tianran, who is eager to unify the world, does not want to see.

Another example is the cooperation with the Holy Spirit Church. Although the cooperation with the Holy Spirit Church is the unanimous opinion of the Sun Moon Empire's top leaders, they also do not completely regard the Holy Spirit Church as their teammates. The evil soul masters are like insatiable hyenas. If you are not careful, they may be stabbed in the back. Now they see that the Sun Moon Empire has lost one of its national defense hands. Such a huge loss, they will definitely not do nothing. Just thinking about it gives Xu Tianran a headache.

In addition to this, there are many, many other influences, so many that Xu Tianran doesn't want to think about them in detail. Just thinking about them starts to give him a severe headache.

He touched Orange's soft little hand, sighed, and asked:

"Juzi, who do you think did this?"

There was a gleam in Orange's eyes.

"Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, there have been people from Shrek and the Body Sect causing trouble in the border areas these days, right?"

Just yesterday, Xu Tianran complained to her, saying that the actions of those Super Douluos had caused huge losses to the Sun-Moon Empire, which made him very depressed.

However, he did not expect that after just one day, the so-called "huge losses" that had upset Xu Tianran had become insignificant. Compared with the loss of the Evil King Soul Guide Group, yesterday's losses were nothing at all.

"Yes."

Xu Tianran nodded slightly, also recalling this incident, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"You mean, we've fallen into a trap, and those Super Douluo are just bait?"

"That's right, Your Majesty is indeed wise." Xu Tianran waved his hands helplessly.

"Don't flatter me. If I were really that wise, I wouldn't have let those little thieves take advantage of me."

He took a deep breath and finally calmed down a little.

"In other words, the people who attacked Sunrise City were from Shrek and the Body Sect, and their purpose was to rescue the hostages?"

"Yeah." Orange nodded gently. "I think even they didn't expect to have a conflict with the Evil Lord Soul Mentor Group. After all, with their backward understanding, they certainly didn't expect the Evil Lord Soul Mentor Group to arrive so quickly. The battle with the Evil Lord Soul Mentor Group was something they didn't expect."

"Unexpected events led to the annihilation of the Evil Lord Soul Instructor Group? This is not funny at all."

Xu Tianran let out a long sigh and asked the question that Orange had just asked.

"So, Orange, what do you think we should do next?"

Orange smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to be too anxious. If I remember correctly, the Evil Lord Soul Mentor Group has always been on good terms with the Imperial Dragon, and the current leader of the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Group doesn't seem to support Your Majesty very much?"

Xu Tianran's eyes lit up.

"You mean..."

Before he could finish, Orange gently placed her finger on his lips.

"Your Majesty, you can't say that."

"Haha, yes."

Xu Tianran laughed again, but unlike the bitter smile just now, his smile this time was obviously much more relieved.

He said with emotion:

"What more could a man ask for than a wife like this! Orange, thank you for calming me down."

Orange smiled gently.

"Being able to help His Majesty is the happiest thing for me."

Xu Tianran did not notice the cold light flashing in Juzi's eyes as he said this.

According to the intelligence, among the enemies this time there is a beautiful white-haired girl who controls the power of ice and snow, which reminds her of that familiar person.

In fact, in her opinion, the correct choice is to counterattack immediately, use the large number of fixed-type soul guide shells in the inventory of the Sun-Moon Empire to attack the three former kingdoms, and officially start a war under the name of the destruction of the Evil King's Soul Guide Corps.

But that would be tantamount to pushing Huo Yutong to the forefront, which was something she did not want to see.

In addition, the infighting between Xu Tianran and other members of the royal family would also be beneficial to her, so she deliberately proposed such a strategy.

She sighed in her heart and prayed quietly.

I hope Huo Yutong won’t be caught by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Group.
