Douluo: Twins of Fate

Chapter 243 The Future Sun and Moon Saint Master

Xu Tianran believed that his throne was extremely secure, since no one in the royal family could compete with him. The close relatives of the royal family were almost all wiped out, and the distant relatives of the royal family had no chance of inheriting the throne!
However, Kong Deming's recent series of targeted actions have made Xu Tianran feel a sense of crisis.

As the true number one person in the Sun Moon Empire, Kong Deming far surpasses Xu Tianran in both cultivation strength and royal seniority. If another royal member had Kong Deming's full support, he might really be able to threaten his throne!
Therefore, Xu Tianran was very anxious at this moment, and he urgently needed to find an opportunity to appease Kong Deming's emotions!

Even so, Xu Tianran's candid remarks still surprised Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong.

The two quickly realized what Xu Tianran was planning.

Sure enough, after saying that, Xu Tianran quickly added to his defense, "However, I didn't know they would be so presumptuous! How dare they treat you like this! If I had known earlier, I would have stopped them!"

This was indeed Xu Tianran's honest opinion. His initial plan was to wait until Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong realized how terrifying the Holy Spirit Cult was before he appeared to protect them. This way, they would also realize the power of the Crown Prince and become his allies.

But as fate would have it, Xu Tianran did not realize that Ye Xishui of the Holy Spirit Cult would attack Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong at any cost, nor did he expect that Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong could cause such heavy losses to the Holy Spirit Cult.

Later on, Xu Tianran was unable to control the actions of the Holy Spirit Cult, and in Ye Xishui's eyes, he was no special at all as the crown prince!
Therefore, after the Holy Spirit Cult's ambush of Jiang Shengyu and his group in the North, Xu Tianran realized that the Holy Spirit Cult could no longer be relied upon!
For the sake of his future, Xu Tianran must choose a new partner!

Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong are the perfect match!
In Xu Tianran's view, both Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong were still teenagers, and although they were exceptionally talented, they were still young.

If he can persuade the two of them, the pressure on Kong Deming will be greatly reduced!
After Xu Tianran finished speaking, Jiang Shengyu chuckled softly and said to Xu Tianran, "Your Highness, if it weren't for our great abilities, we would have died at the hands of the Holy Spirit Sect long ago!"

"Absolutely impossible! As the Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire, how could I stand by and watch the empire's genius be wiped out by the Holy Spirit Cult?"

Xu Tianran shook his head and said to the two in a deep voice, "They initially assured me that they would restrain their actions, but I never expected them to become so ruthless later on!"

Jiang Shengyu looked Xu Tianran up and down, really wanting to ask what kind of nonsense this guy was spouting? She never expected them to be so heartless and insane.

Jiang Qingtong sneered and retorted, "Your Highness, can the words of an evil soul master be trusted?"

Her words left Xu Tianran speechless.

Seeing Xu Tianran fall silent, Jiang Shengyu stood up and laughed, "See? You know that evil soul masters are actually unreliable, but for the sake of the throne, you still chose to cooperate with these guys! It's like trying to get something from a tiger."

"After I achieve my goal, I will eliminate them! Even if they have Limit Douluo!"

Xu Tianran looked at Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong and said in a deep voice. His words were also a subtle reminder to the two of them that he knew how to threaten the Limit Douluo.

Jiang Shengyu ignored Xu Tianran, reached out to Jiang Qingtong, took her hand, and prepared to leave.

Seeing the two preparing to leave, Xu Tianran suddenly shouted, "As long as I ascend the throne, I will do a better job than the emperor! I will give you even greater support! The Soul Hall will become the number one sect of the Sun Moon Empire! After the Sun Moon Empire unifies the world, all Soul Masters will regard you as the number one Holy Master of all time!" After Xu Tianran shouted these words, Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong stopped in their tracks.

Seeing this, Xu Tianran assumed that the two had been persuaded by him, so he quickly stepped forward and continued to assure them, "Not only that! I will also vigorously promote the popularization of soul tools! All the old nobles will no longer be a hindrance to you! Isn't this what you have always wanted?"

After Xu Tianran said these words, Jiang Shengyu turned around. He first glanced at the experimental auxiliary exoskeleton on Xu Tianran's lower back, then looked up at him and asked, "Your Highness, is this your true feeling?"

"Of course!"

Xu Tianran nodded without hesitation and said, "Come on, let's create an even stronger Sun Moon Empire together! I will devote all resources to make you the first Limit Douluo in the Sun Moon Empire's ten thousand years of history!"

Jiang Qingtong suddenly said, "The words of evil spirit masters cannot be trusted, and Your Highness, your words are also not trustworthy."

Xu Tianran was stunned for a moment, and Jiang Qingtong continued, "Words are always the most pleasant to hear, but what's the use of just being pleasant to hear? The Holy Spirit Cult has now infiltrated the major Soul Master Corps and ordinary troops of the Sun Moon Empire on a large scale. It is so deeply rooted, and this is all thanks to your support."

"I can immediately begin the purge! I have already completely eliminated the evil soul masters within the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps!" Xu Tianran said in a deep voice.

He was like a drowning man, and now that Kong Deming had started targeting him, he had to cling to Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong as his lifeline.

In this situation, he could give away anything except the throne!
As for what happens afterward, we'll have to deal with that later.

Seeing that the two remained silent, Xu Tianran immediately called Xu Tianyuan, who was outside, in and said to them, "This is my cousin, Xu Tianyuan. He is the leader of the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Corps. You can ask him for confirmation!"

As a staunch supporter of Xu Tianran, Xu Tianyuan naturally understood what Xu Tianran was about to do. Seeing the two men looking at him, he immediately nodded and assured them, "That's right, I have completely eliminated the evil soul masters in the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps."

Although these evil soul masters were unpredictable and powerful, none of them were titled Douluo, or even Soul Douluo. They were all Soul Saints and Soul Emperors, posing no threat to Xu Tianyuan, a level nine soul master. Killing them was no big deal.

"How about it, Sheng Yu, Qing Tong? No... the future Sun and Moon Saint Master!"

Xu Tianran watched the two of them, waiting for their decision.

The future Holy Master of the Sun and Moon?
Would Xu Tianran really offer such a title just for his own throne?
Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong remained silent for a long time. Suddenly, Jiang Qingtong laughed and looked at Jiang Shengyu, asking, "Brother, what do you think?"

“If the Crown Prince can truly keep your promise, then once the Holy Spirit Cult is eradicated, our conflict will cease to exist! Moreover, looking across the Sun Moon Empire, it seems there is no one more suitable than you to inherit the throne.”

After Jiang Qingtong asked that question, Jiang Shengyu laughed and looked at Xu Tianran.
