People in Douluo, the mastermind behind the scenes

The next day, a piece of bombshell news spread throughout the Douluo Continent. The Tianhun Empress issued a self-criticism edict, stating that she was unworthy of the position, gave up the throne of the Tianhun Empire, and announced her resignation.

Before stepping down, Ye Xishui did not abdicate the throne, nor did he name the next heir to the throne. Instead, he left a mess to the nobles of the Tianhun Empire.

The soul master families of all sizes in the Tianhun Empire originally wanted to support Vina in ascending the throne. In terms of identity, she was not only a former royal princess, but also Ye Xishui's disciple and sister. It was all legal for her to inherit the position of master from her disciple.

However, Vina declined the support of the nobles on the grounds that she was already married, and led the original royal family to join the Body Sect.

There was no way, no one was willing to take over this mess, the major soul master families in Tiandou City discussed together and decided to lead the Lion Family, the Lieyang Blade Family, the Nether Thunder Family, the Cangluan Family, and the Sky Ice Sword Family, and elect the strongest of the five families, Nether Thunder Douluo Xiao Zhankui, as the commander-in-chief. They would no longer have an emperor, and the five major families would jointly rule the Tianhun Empire.

At this point, the Tianhun incident was over, and there was no turmoil in the empire due to the change of those in power. The civilians did not know that after Ye Xishui stepped down, the farmers' association system would no longer be able to operate, and the qualification for free awakening of martial souls that they had worked so hard to obtain would be lost. At least in the short term, nothing would happen in the Tianhun Empire, but it would be hard to say what would happen over a long period of time.

……

"Sir, you, you are not dead?"

In the Sun and Moon Empire, Mingdu City, inside the Jiuyang Pawnshop next to the Mingyue Hotel.

The moment Hong Ling saw the faces of Zhu Ningyu and Little Dragon Lady Wang Dong'er, she was immediately... shocked. She was very surprised... How did the two of them survive the cleansing of the Asura Goddess Xiao Wu?
Zhu Ningyu sneered, "Everyone has to die, some are heavier than Mount Tai, some are lighter than a feather. Even if we die, we must die gloriously, and not be killed by the evil spirit on the Shura Demon Sword."

"Oh, by the way, Hong Ling, it is said that... the Tang Sect is going to hold a soul guide exhibition. What is the reaction of the Sun Moon Empire's top leaders? Are they going to follow the Tang Sect's trend and pick up soul guides again?"

Hong Ling frowned and said, "I have heard some rumors recently. The current emperor of the Sun Moon Empire seems to be intending to split Mingde Hall into two parts. One part will study the new soul guide proposed by Tang Sect's Huo Yuhao, and the other part will study the various weapons and cultivation systems left over from Zhu Ningyun's time."

"Zhu Ningyun is dead, and the inheritance she brought has left Douluo World, but in the past two hundred years... all the cultivation systems that transcend this world will always live in the hearts of soul masters. What is important is not the so-called inheritance, but the experience and vision."

"As long as there is enough time, in due course, the Soul Master World will be able to bypass the God Realm and create a path to break through the limits of mortals..."

"These are the original words of Xu Tianran, the current emperor of the Sun Moon Empire. They sound... quite inspiring."

As she spoke, Hong Ling's gaze unconsciously fell on Xiaolong's mother, Wang Dong'er.

"My Lord, if I'm not mistaken, this girl should be a member of the monster clan, right?"

"Yes and no." Zhu Ningyu said expressionlessly: "Let me introduce her to you. Her name is Wang Dong'er, formerly known as Tang Wutong. Tang is from Haotian Sect, Wu is from the 100,000-year-old soft-bone rabbit Xiaowu, and Tong is... ahem, this is not important. What's important is that she is the daughter of Sea God Tang San and Soft-bone Douluo Xiaowu. From today on, she will be your personal secretary, Hong Ling."

Ah this...

Hearing this, Hong Ling scratched her head in embarrassment. She didn't know whether to accept or not. She was the daughter of the Sea God, a goddess, and she actually gave her a mortal as secretary. Was this considered blasphemy to the Sea God?

Thinking of this, Hong Ling restrained her expression, bowed slightly to Zhu Ningyu, and said, "Please rest assured, my lord, I will definitely teach Miss Dong'er carefully and pass on everything I have learned in my life to her."

Zhu Ningyu nodded, then took out the camouflage props to disguise herself and Wang Donger.

The scene changed, and in Mingde Hall, Zhu Ningyu, dressed in a professional suit... Oh no, it should be Bai Yu now, went to find Yin Hongchen, who was the deputy head of Mingde Hall at that time.

"Mr. Deputy Hall Master, I heard that... Mingde Hall is recruiting people to represent the Sun Moon Empire to go to Shrek City to participate in the Soul Guidance Equipment Exhibition held by the Tang Sect. Well, I have joined Mingde Hall for a while, but I have always been in an idle position with a white-collar salary. I feel a little guilty, so I want to join the delegation to Shrek City to do my part for Mingde Hall and the Sun Moon Empire."

"You are thoughtful." Yin Hongchen looked at Bai Yu, who looked a little terrified, and said calmly, "Serving the country is not just about talking. There is only one hard requirement for the members of the delegation to Shrek City this time - they must be a true soul guide, have a certain degree of understanding of soul guide technology, and at the very least, they must be able to independently carve a complete soul guide formation."

"What's so difficult about this?"

Bai Yu, played by Zhu Ningyu, grabbed the metal and carving knife on the table and carefully carved the soul guide formation.

In less than three minutes, a most simple soul guide formation was officially produced!

Due to the good habits he developed in his previous life, Qin Yi is best at these formulaic things. No matter how complicated the soul guide formation is, as long as he has the blueprint, he can replicate it perfectly.

Zhu Ningyu's hands-on ability did surprise Yin Hongchen a little, but she quickly returned to normal.

"In that case, you, Bai Yu, will serve as the deputy head of the delegation this time to Shrek City. You will be responsible for maintaining the discipline and moral integrity of the delegation. If necessary, you can execute first and report later."

As he spoke, Yin Hongchen pushed a token in front of Zhu Ningyu.

"Since the birth of Mingde Hall, it has been under the jurisdiction of the Hongchen Family. The Hongchen Family seems to have gained the trust and favor of the royal family and controls the lifeline of the Sun Moon Empire's soul master corps, but everything has a certain rule of prosperity and decline. Even if Your Majesty doesn't care, there will always be villains who are jealous of the Hongchen Family's status and gossip about it behind their backs."

"In terms of research on soul guides, the Hongchen Family is definitely at the forefront of Douluo Continent. In order to avoid a rift between the Hongchen Family and the royal family, you, Bai Yu, will fully represent the Hongchen Family on this mission to Shrek City."

Zhu Ningyu: “…”

She really wanted to say that you, the Hongchen family, are overthinking. The Sea God Pavilion and Huo Yuhao don’t have the brains to alienate the relationship between the Hongchen family and the Sun Moon Royal Family. They are only thinking about reviving the Tang Sect and trampling the Sun Moon Empire under their feet. There is no need to avoid suspicion in this way. Even if Jing Hongchen and his family join the Tang Sect, they may not be willing to accept them.

However, Zhu Ningyu didn't say these words after all. It was good that way. In this way, the identity of "Bai Yu" would have a firm foothold in the Hongchen family, which would make it much easier to do things later. (End of this chapter)
