Douluo: Twins of Fate

Chapter 242 Xu Tianran

Soul-guided mobile phones have already begun to be used in the field of communications, so it's no surprise that news of the Glorious Duke's rebellion will soon reach Mingdu.

Even so, these soldiers arrived far too quickly!
The Soul Guidance Train that passed through Glorious Territory yesterday was still operating normally, which proves that the Glorious Duke's rebellion only occurred today! And only half a day has passed, yet the army to quell the rebellion has already arrived?

Moreover, these troops did not appear to be garrisoned near the Glory Territory; they were all transferred from the Ming Capital!

Mingdu is far from here. Even if they used flying soul tools to get here, half a day probably wouldn't be enough.
Just as Jiang Shengyu was pondering these matters, the army that was suppressing the rebellion had already surrounded the Soul Guidance Train. The general leading the team was about to appease them when he saw Jiang Shengyu, and his expression suddenly turned extremely surprised.

Immediately afterward, amidst the shocked gazes of Ling Luochen and Wang Dong'er, he bowed to Jiang Shengyu and said, "This humble general greets Marquis Tianyue!"

Jiang Shengyu looked at him and asked, "When did you set off?"

The general was taken aback. Under Jiang Shengyu's gaze, he did not hide anything and said directly, "His Highness the Crown Prince issued a transfer order the day before yesterday, ordering the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Corps and the Mingdu Garrison to advance towards Brilliant Territory!"

The Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps is one of the five major Soul Master Corps of the Sun Moon Empire. It uses the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon as its totem. The corps leader is Xu Tianyuan, a level nine Soul Master and one of Xu Tianran's henchmen! This is also the only Soul Master Corps that he can mobilize at any time.

But... isn't it too strange that Xu Tianran started mobilizing troops to approach Brilliant Territory the day before yesterday?

He seemed to have known all along that Glorious Leader was plotting a rebellion!
It should be understood that if a rebellion does not occur immediately, mobilizing troops would give the enemy ammunition to criticize you.

Xu Tianran shouldn't have made this mistake!
"Is the Crown Prince here too?" Jiang Shengyu asked.

The general nodded and said, "Yes! His Highness the Crown Prince is under the protection of the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Corps!"

"You continue the pursuit, let's go pay our respects to His Highness the Crown Prince." Jiang Shengyu waved his hand, instructing the general to lead his men to continue chasing the rebels of Brilliant Territory, while he himself, guided by the guide he had arranged, headed towards the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Corps.

Wang Dong'er followed behind, frowning as she asked, "Are we really going to see the Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire?"

Although Ling Luochen had always respected Jiang Shengyu's decision, even at this moment, she hesitated and said, "I'm afraid that's not a good idea. We are students of Shrek Academy, and he is the Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire!"

Upon hearing their conversation, Jiang Shengyu slowly stopped. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Alright! It's indeed inappropriate for you to go see him. Teacher Xue, why don't you take them and wait for us at the Soul Guidance Train Station? We'll be right back."

"I'll take them?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Di frowned, her tone full of reluctance.

Jiang Shengyu clasped her hands together and said, "Please, Teacher Xue!"

Seeing Jiang Shengyu's ingratiating smile, Xue Di snorted and said, "Fine, since you've asked me, I'll grant your request this time."

Jiang Qingtong said to Jiang Feixin, "Feixin, you go too."

"What? Why?" Jiang Feixin looked at Jiang Qingtong in confusion.

Xiao Hongchen said from the side, "We're going to see the Crown Prince, not to play! You've never seen the Crown Prince before, it wouldn't be good if something happened to you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feixin asked anxiously, "Is the Crown Prince an enemy?"

The person leading the way stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Seeing his reaction, Jiang Shengyu said, "Be careful, Master." Careful?

Hearing this, how could there be any sense of safety?

Despite her reluctance, Jiang Feixin reluctantly followed Xue Di to the Soul Guidance Train Station to wait for them, at Jiang Qingtong's insistence. Fortunately, Xue Di was also a Soul Beast, so she wasn't too opposed to her.

The Snow Emperor whipped up a blizzard, lifting the four of them into the air and flying towards the Soul Guidance Train Station.

Jiang Shengyu and his group also met Xu Tianran at the Royal Dragon Soul Instructor Corps' residence. However, besides him, there was a girl standing next to him.

Through Xu Tianran's introduction, they learned the person's identity: Orange!
The future Crown Princess!

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Xu Tianran invited Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong to the inner room for a detailed discussion. However, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, who wanted to follow, were blocked outside by Xu Tianyuan. No matter how bold Xiao Hongchen was, he did not dare to rush in directly in the face of this level nine soul master.

Inside the room, Xu Tianran smiled as he looked at the two men and said, "The rebellion in Brilliant Territory will be quelled soon, so you two need not worry!"

"It's far too dangerous for the Crown Prince to come in person," Jiang Shengyu said slowly, looking at Xu Tianran.

Although he said that Xu Tianran's actions were too dangerous, he didn't actually show any concern for him.

Xu Tianran smiled and said, "I had no choice but to do this in order to appease the officials in the court!"

"In Glorious Territory, only the eldest son of the Duke, who is at the seventh-ring Soul Saint level, has the highest cultivation. Not to mention the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps, any ninth-level Soul Master could solve everything! How could the court officials be worried about this?"

Jiang Shengyu frowned after hearing Xu Tianran's words.

Xu Tianran shook his head, his smile slowly fading as he stared at the two of them and said, "Of course not because of that! It's because of your teacher, His Majesty Silver Moon!"

When Xu Tianran mentioned Kong Deming, both of them became serious.

Xu Tianran said, "His Majesty the Silver Moon seems to be dissatisfied with me recently, which is why I have to personally lead the troops to quell the rebellion in order to appease the people."

After he said those words, Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong suddenly had a premonition: Could it be that Xu Tianran was secretly instigating the Brilliant Duke's rebellion against the immense power of the Sun Moon Empire's official government?
He wanted to use this opportunity to lead troops to quell the rebellion and increase his popularity within the country.

The more Jiang Shengyu thought about it, the more likely it seemed!
Especially after he saw Ju Zi next to Xu Tianran!

This cunning young woman is capable of doing anything unexpected to achieve her goals! It wouldn't be surprising if she were advising Xu Tianran on how to quell the rebellion.

Seeing Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong deep in thought, Xu Tianran continued, "I roughly know why Her Majesty Silver Moon harbors resentment towards me. Is it the Holy Spirit Cult?"

Xu Tianran brought up the matter of the Holy Spirit Cult so openly, which surprised the two of them.

Jiang Qingtong frowned and asked, "The Holy Spirit Cult? What does the Crown Prince mean by suddenly bringing this up?"

Xu Tianran shook his head and said to the two of them, "At this point, there's no need to pretend you don't know anything. Indeed, because you rejected my attempts to win you over, I did intend to use the power of the Holy Spirit Sect to teach you a lesson."
