Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 358 The Pistol of the Protector of the Nation Points at Long Xiaoyao Zhongliwu

"You..." Zhongli Wu looked at the retreating Soul Master Corps members. He could not suppress the anger in his eyes. He knew that he was the Imperial Preceptor in name only, and these Soul Master Corps leaders, just like ordinary people, despised them, the evil Soul Masters.

They only had to acknowledge him as the national advisor because of orders from above.

The so-called order from above was actually given to Crown Prince Xu Tianran.

The imperial edict in Yuwentuo's hands came from even higher up. Now, Xu Tianran's power in the court is far less than in the original story. Due to Yuwentuo's previous actions, there are many people who are not convinced by him, and he has no way to control everything.

As long as His Majesty the Emperor is alive, the person sitting in the highest position in the Sun and Moon Empire will always be him.

“Zhongli Wu, what else do you have to say? I, Yuwen Tuo, as the Prince of Yan of the Empire, am acting on imperial orders to eliminate evil soul masters. It is perfectly reasonable and legal. Let me tell you, if I weren’t still unable to defeat you, I would have chopped you and that old bastard Long Xiaoyao up as well. But you wait, that day won’t be long.” Yuwen Tuo said honestly.

His goal now is to draw everyone's attention, including that of the evil spirit masters and Xu Tianran, to him.

With a focal point in sight comes a blind spot. He's asked Poison-Not-Die to do something really interesting, and Xu Tianran's expression at that moment is sure to be priceless.

Long Xiaoyao and Zhongli Wu looked at Yuwen Tuo, their eyes already filled with murderous intent.

Long Xiaoyao felt that this guy's hatred for evil soul masters was too great, and if he continued to live, he might pose a threat to Ye Xishui one day.

Needless to say, Zhongli Wu was another one. How many Title Douluos had Yuwen Tuo killed in their Holy Spirit Cult? He really didn't want him to live for even a second longer.

When a level 99 Limit Douluo and a level 98 Super Douluo simultaneously unleash their killing intent, the sheer ferocity of their killing aura is terrifying. For a moment, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines.

Ma Xiaotao really wanted to help Yuwentuo, but she found that her legs went weak when she looked at the two of them.

Xu Jiujiu felt the same way. She told herself that she was not giving up on Yuwen Tuo, but that even if she sent Manyi to fight against Long Xiaoyao and Zhongli Wu, it would be of no use and would only result in the loss of Xingluo's power.

However, there are always some people in this world who are completely unafraid of death.

With a whoosh, four figures rushed out and blocked Yuwen Tuo's path.

"Don't hurt Tuotuo!"

"Taku, I won't let anyone touch you."

"Seniors, if you want to hurt my brother, please come at me, your older sister, first."

These three are naturally Xiao Xiao, Qiu'er, and Ling Luochen.

Their instinctive actions to protect Yuwen Tuo were even faster than those of Miao Xin, Yun Yi, and Chi Wang, three masters of the highest rank.

The fourth person, however, directly illuminated the darkness.

"How dare you! You two bastards, how dare you show murderous intent towards my brother!" Xu Tianzhen said angrily, his blazing solar martial spirit illuminating the area around the hotel as if it were daytime.

The adorable little princess, pouting and blushing, pointed at the major Soul Master Corps and said, "Are you all blind? Evil Soul Masters dared to show murderous intent towards my Empire's Prince! You, as the protectors of our country, didn't even come to protect him! That's my only younger brother! You bastards, you bastards, you bastards!!"

By the end, the naive princess was so angry she was jumping up and down.

Originally, these Soul Master Corps members really didn't want to get involved in this matter, but because of this naive princess's antics, they were forced to the brink of disaster.

The naive princess was absolutely right. Since Yuwen Tuo was acting under imperial orders, and because of the previous pardon, he still held the title of prince. As the protector of the nation, how could he possibly allow an evil spirit master to murder an imperial prince?
This matter has blown up today; not only are the people of the city watching, but forces from the three kingdoms of Douluo Continent are also observing.

"Fire Phoenix Soul Mentors, heed my command: Protect His Highness the Prince!"

The first to act was a female Soul Master, an elderly woman around seventy years old, who was none other than Luanfeng, the leader of the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps.

One of the most senior level-nine soul masters in the Sun Moon Empire. Fire Phoenix Douluo, this name was once a powerful figure in the Sun Moon Empire, on par with Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin.

Her martial spirit is called the Fire Phoenix Sword, a weapon martial spirit with the bloodline of the phoenix, and it is said that the temperature of its flames is infinitely close to that of the ultimate fire.

Luanfeng values ​​the reputation of the empire. Now that Yuwentuo is in the right, although Luanfeng looks down on Yuwentuo because of his past rebellious deeds, he has indeed been pardoned on the surface.

As the protector of the nation, he naturally could not watch his own prince be killed by an evil spirit master in front of everyone.

With her taking the lead, the rest of the Soul Master Corps also stepped forward. However, at this moment, their Soul Guidance Devices were no longer pointing at Yuwen Tuo, but at Zhongli Wu and Long Xiaoyao.

Zhongli Wu's fists bulged with veins, and the Soul Master Corps he brought as the Imperial Advisor ended up pointing guns at him instead.

Does this count as shooting oneself in the foot?

Long Xiaoyao sighed, his murderous aura dissipating. In this matter, Yuwentuo had the upper hand; the imperial edict in his hand was his greatest weapon.

If the Protectorate does not want to rebel, then it must acknowledge the Emperor's decree.

Long Xiaoyao said, "Yuwen Tuo, this ends here for today, but remember this: I will never allow you to kill any more Holy Spirit Cult members without permission! Zhongli, let's go."

"Yes!" Although Zhongli Wu was the leader, he still had to listen to Long Xiaoyao's words.

He had already decided that he would keep all the evil spirit masters by his side during this period. He refused to believe that with him around, Yuwen Tuo could still kill indiscriminately.
"Phew!" Ling Luochen breathed a heavy sigh of relief as the two left.

Xiao Xiao's back was completely soaked with sweat.

Faced with monsters like Long Xiaoyao and Zhongli Wu, how could ordinary girls like them not be afraid?

Qiu'er remained calm, because she had just been thinking about how to dig up the graves of those two people. She had gone home last time, and she wasn't coming out empty-handed.

She was almost ready to use her trump card, thinking about where to bury these two guys who were trying to hurt her. According to Taku's preferences, their heads and bodies should be buried separately.

“Your Highness, now that Long Xiaoyao and the Imperial Preceptor have left, we shall take our leave as well,” Luanfeng said as she stepped forward.

She glanced at Yuwen Tuo with great dissatisfaction. How could she not see that Prince Yan had probably already anticipated this situation when he did this?

They planned to use this imperial edict to force their protectors to protect him in full view of everyone.

This is a blatant conspiracy; unless one overturns the table and rebels, there is no way to break it.

The innocent princess merely served to ignite the fuse.
