Douluo: Twins of Fate

Chapter 266 A Serious Provocation Against the Sun Moon Empire
Jing Hongchen, Kong Deming, and the others quickly flew into the sky and looked towards the direction of the palace.

When they saw the situation in the palace, they all took a deep breath, turned their gazes back to Xu Tianran below.

At this time, the emperor was seriously ill. Apart from some ministers, everyone else lived around the palace, and all the close relatives of the royal family were also in the palace with the emperor! Under the bombardment of these multiple level-nine fixed-position soul-guided shells, none of them survived!
Xu Tianran, already behaving like an emperor, began issuing orders.

Just as Yan Shaozhe was about to make a move, Jing Hongchen stopped him, saying, "Dean Yan, you'd better not act rashly! The sudden change in Mingdu could very well have been orchestrated by people from the three kingdoms of Douluo Continent!"

"Are you kidding me?" Yan Shaozhe frowned and immediately shouted to Xue Di beside him, "Teacher Xue, let's work together to break through!"

Xue Di gently shook her head, then leaped to Jiang Shengyu's side, looking down at Yan Shaozhe without saying a word. But her actions spoke volumes: she was on Jiang Shengyu's side!

Upon witnessing this scene, Yan Shaozhe was even more overwhelmed. A surge of immense power erupted from his body, releasing nine soul rings: two yellow, two purple, and five black. The Radiant Phoenix behind him let out a long howl.

Seeing this, Ye Xishui, who was standing next to Xu Tianran, frowned slightly.

“Phoenix of Light…” She stared at Yan Shaozhe, then smiled eerily.

Yan Shaozhe and Jing Hongchen engaged in battle, but in the hands of Jing Hongchen, who possessed a level nine soul tool, his level ninety-six cultivation was simply insufficient! Even if Xuanzi himself were to arrive, he would not be able to gain the upper hand when facing Jing Hongchen!

Xue Di waved her hand and pinned Yan Shaozhe down, extinguishing the Phoenix True Fire of his Bright Phoenix Martial Soul.

Jing Hongchen also took the opportunity to put a soul-binding device on Yan Shaozhe to imprison his soul power.

Apart from Yan Shaozhe, the other people who originally belonged to the Three Kingdoms Academy or sect of Douluo Continent were also controlled by the Sun Moon Empire, which had taken action. Among them were Soul Douluos and even Title Douluos, but they had no ability to resist at all in front of Kong Deming and his group of level nine Soul Masters!
Xiao Xiao watched this scene in a panic, but Jiang Nannan reacted quickly and pulled her towards her, preventing her from being locked up by the others.

Poison Undying descended from the sky, his brow furrowed. He dared not meet the gazes of those originally from the Three Kingdoms of Douluo Continent who were watching him. He looked at Jiang Shengyu and said, "Boy, you said you wouldn't lay a hand on them..."

If Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong hadn't repeatedly promised him that they would guarantee the personal safety of the people who originally belonged to the three kingdoms of Douluo Continent, he wouldn't have personally brought people to support them.

Although he understood that fate and destiny were beyond his control, and that the Sun Moon Empire, with Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong in power, had already gained significant influence, this direct endorsement meant that he had truly parted ways with the original three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent!
They can only be together again when the Sun and Moon Empire unifies the continent.

Jiang Shengyu nodded and said, "Please rest assured, senior. If they do not resist, I will naturally not take action against them! But if they do resist, then don't blame us for fighting back! After all, our safety is the most important thing."

Du Busi sighed, nodded, looked at Yan Shaozhe and the others, and said, "Dean Yan, don't resist. I can still guarantee this kid's character."

"Body Douluo! I thought you had a past relationship with Elder Mu and were a senior in the Soul Master world, but I never expected you to abandon the light and join forces with the Sun Moon Empire! You have truly disgraced your Body Sect ancestors. Do you still have the face to meet them after you die!"

Yan Shaozhe roared angrily, showing no mercy to Du Busi.

Du Busi frowned and fell silent, not arguing with Yan Shaozhe.

In the chaos, Ju Zi found Jiang Qing Tong and handed her the miniature camera. As time passed, the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Corps completely brought the scene under control, and Xu Tianran arrived below under the protection of a group of guards. He first expressed his gratitude to Jiang Sheng Yu and Jiang Qing Tong: "Thank you both for your strategy, which allowed my Sun Moon Empire to capture all these geniuses who originally belonged to the three kingdoms of Douluo Continent without lifting a finger! You two are truly the lucky stars of my Sun Moon Empire!"

After speaking with the two, Xu Tianran's gaze fell on Jiang Shengyu and the others. He said, "The investigation results are in! The palace was bombarded by multiple level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells! Moreover, according to the report, a few days ago, there was a theft in the military, and a Super Douluo infiltrated and stole multiple level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells! It must have been done by you people!"

"Hmph! That's slander!"

Yan Shaozhe snorted coldly. Even though he had fallen into such a predicament, he still did not lower his proud head.

"slander?"

Xu Tianran chuckled softly and asked, "Then where did your Azure Eagle Douluo go? I suspect she infiltrated the army, stole the Level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, and then bombed the Mingdu Imperial Palace! This is a serious provocation against the Sun Moon Empire!"

Yan Shaozhe frowned. He knew Xu Tianran was lying, but he didn't know how to refute it.

Xu Tianran continued, "One month from now, the Sun Moon Empire will declare war on the three kingdoms that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent, on the grounds of attacking the palace and killing the emperor!"

Jiang Shengyu watched as Xu Tianran announced the order with the air of a ruler, exchanged a glance with Kong Deming, and then said, "Excuse me, Your Highness! I have a problem with that."

Upon hearing this, all eyes turned to him. Xu Tianran frowned and asked, "Marquis Tianyue, do you have any objections?"

"Was the explosion just now really caused by them?" Jiang Shengyu asked Xu Tianran.

Xu Tianran nodded and said, "Of course! It has been thoroughly investigated, how could it be wrong?"

Jiang Shengyu laughed, took the video recording from Jiang Qingtong, and said to the remaining officials and soldiers present, "I have something a little different to show you all."

As he spoke, he played the recording.

Presented from a candid perspective, the schemes of Xu Tianran and Xu Tianyuan are clearly revealed, including the installation location and detonation method of the level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, as well as the various arrangements after the explosion, such as troop deployment and seizing control of the narrative.

Seeing this, Xu Tianran's lips twitched. He immediately realized what was happening, looked at Ju Zi to the side, and shouted, "It's you! It's you, you bitch!!"

Xu Tianyuan acted quickly, grabbing at the orange.

However, he was not as fast as Kong Deming. Kong Deming slapped him aside with a single wave of his hand, rendering him unable to get up again.

"He murdered his father and committed treason, and even used a level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon to bombard the capital's palace, causing the deaths of tens of thousands of people! Does such a person deserve to be the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire?" Jiang Shengyu said slowly, scanning the soldiers and court officials present.
