Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 214 Vina: With the assistance of the two hidden sects, Haotian and Tianhun Empire, the borders of the Heavenly Soul Empire are sure to be impregnable.

On the main road of Mingdu City, the Silver Moon Wolf King walked under the moonlight, exuding the aura of an extraordinary soul beast powerhouse.

The Bright Moon Soul Guidance Device hovered in the air, altering the celestial phenomena and the balance of Yin and Yang. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Silver Wolf walked forward with its head held high, while Xu Tianxi, with a sword at his waist, stood as straight as a javelin.

Yan Shaozhe stared at Xu Tianxi, his eyebrows furrowed tightly, and the sharp glint in his eyes revealed a thoughtful recollection.

His intuition told him that he might have seen this person before.

Xian Lin'er told herself that this person claimed to have a grudge against her and killed Xiao Tao Mei'er, but Yan Shaozhe couldn't remember who this person was for a moment.

When did he become enemies with members of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family?

Suddenly, Yan Shaozhe noticed that Xian Lin'er's breathing had become extremely heavy. He caught a glimpse of her eyes blazing with anger and quickly reached out to hold her down.

"Calm down! This is the Sun Moon Empire; we can't take revenge here!"

Xian Lin'er's surging soul power slowly dissipated under Yan Shaozhe's suppression, her voice filled with heart-wrenching pain.

"It was this ruthless little beast who wouldn't let it go, even after Xiao Tao was captured by the evil spirit master, he still tried desperately to intercept and kill her!"

"He's willing to do anything to kill Xiao Tao. Yan Shaozhe, when did you get involved in such a feud?"

Yan Shaozhe frowned and said in confusion, "I was wondering the same thing. It looks somewhat familiar, but I really can't remember it."

Thanks to the fact that the soul power in Douluo Continent is roughly equivalent to growth hormone, when Yan Shaozhe saw Xu Tianxi again after more than seven years, the latter had changed drastically and was completely unrecognizable as he was in his childhood.

Yan Shaozhe couldn't connect the child who ran away from home from the Xuanming Sect back then with the rising star of the Sun Moon Empire today; the two were worlds apart.

He craned his neck to watch the Silver Moon Wolf King cross the main road below the high-rise building and then gradually walk away.

The man never once glanced in their direction.

There was no further provocation directed at them, the Shrekians, as one might have imagined.

Everything seemed calm and uneventful; he was simply there to receive his title, and they had just happened to meet.

Han Ruoruo, an inner court disciple behind the two, said, "Deans, this person is not the point. The point is to rescue Le Xuan and the others."

Golden Crow Saintess Wu Ming echoed, "Yes, Dean, these people are insignificant. What's important are the high-ranking officials of the Sun Moon Empire."

Yan Shaozhe nodded, about to say something to reassure the troops.

Just then, a young white-haired boy in the conferment procession below turned around and gave Yan Shaozhe and the others a bright smile, waving his hand vigorously.

The atmosphere plummeted to its lowest point. Xian Lin'er's eyes almost reddened again, and Yan Shaozhe's usually calm face couldn't help but show a hint of annoyance.

This guy must be here to provoke Shrek Academy; he's incredibly arrogant!
"Haha, everyone, please don't be angry. My grandson is a bit arrogant, but you'll get used to it. Don't take it to heart with a child."

Just as everyone was getting angry, Jing Hongchen's voice rang out, as if afraid that the fire wasn't burning bright enough, and he poured some oil on it.

Yan Shaozhe and the others immediately glared at Jing Hongchen, but Jing Hongchen shrugged, her expression completely unconcerned.

The relationship has been completely broken down to the point of no return. Shrek Academy, with the power of three great empires, came to threaten the Sun Moon Empire, which they were already very dissatisfied with.

Otherwise, Xu Tianxi and the others wouldn't have been granted titles on this day.

"If it weren't for the fear of the hidden sects of your three great empires, you might not even be able to enter the gates of Mingdu," Jing Hongchen thought to himself.

Mu Xue whispered to Vina, "Vina, it seems the Sun Moon Empire doesn't welcome us very much."

Vina's echo carried a smile: "Isn't this something we already guessed? We couldn't rely on Shrek Academy anyway; the Body Sect and other hidden sects are the forces we can best depend on."

"If it weren't for giving face to those titled Douluo from Shrek Academy, I wouldn't want to come here for nothing. I would rather go to the Star Dou Great Forest or the far north to hunt for spirit rings to advance my level."

"Then... after this, shall we go to the Star Dou Great Forest?" Mu Xue suggested.

Vina pondered for a moment and replied, "Hmm... the far north is closer, let's go there, the ice-attribute soul beasts there are of higher quality."

"Although I really don't want to go to that freezing, snowy place, compared to improving my strength, being cold is a small matter."

"Alright, it just so happens that there are experts from the Body Sect and Guardian Douluo here."

……

"Junior brother, why are you keeping such a long face? Smile a little. Look how unrestrained that kid Xiao Hongchen is laughing."

Ye Yulin, dressed in plain clothes, followed beside the Silver Moon Wolf King with a faint smile on her face: "You are a meritorious official going to be honored, not a criminal going to the execution ground."

"I'm not very good at laughing in such big situations."

Xu Tianxi's voice transmission was tinged with helplessness. He had already made his facial muscles stiff by forcing a smile, but he couldn't be as carefree as Xiao Hongchen.

He's a nerdy engineer and exorcist expert, not a professional speaker; he's not used to this kind of situation.

After saying that, Xu Tianxi did a beautiful backflip and landed on the back of the Silver Moon Wolf King, wiping the sweat from his hands onto the wolf king's fur.

Ye Yulin took in Xu Tianxi's subtle movements, and the smile on her face deepened.

As expected, even geniuses aren't good at everything. My junior brother is so focused on cultivation and research that he lacks experience in this kind of situation.

He joked, "Junior brother, you have to work hard to adapt. Sooner or later you'll have to face bigger occasions. These things are easy once you get used to them, and once you get the hang of it, you'll be fine."

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianxi frowned and pondered for a moment before slowly nodding: "Senior brother is right. We have to learn to adapt to these kinds of things."

Catching Xiao Hongchen's smile out of the corner of his eye, Xu Tianxi began to try to smile in a more friendly and relaxed way.

Ye Yulin is right. When he is promoted to Duke, Prince, Prince or even higher, he will inevitably have to have friendly exchanges with the people.

"I need to go back and think about how to develop a national broadcasting network; that would make things easier."

While adapting, Xu Tianxi pondered how to utilize the technology tree.

……

The formal investiture ceremony was not complicated. The aging emperor delivered a passionate speech in public, his words brimming with self-praise and arrogance, and then went up to each student to greet them and bestow upon them titles, robes, and crowns.

The gist of the speech was that since the sudden death of the late emperor and his entire family, and his assumption of the throne in a time of crisis, he had not dared to slacken his efforts for many years, working diligently and encouraging the development of the academy. Finally, with the joint efforts of the emperor and his ministers, the empire ushered in its first-ever championship in the major competition...

After the speech, the boisterous royal dance troupe took to the stage to perform, and the open-air banquet began. The old emperor toasted with everyone and occasionally came down to greet Xu Tianxi and the others. Even the Shrek rescue team, led by Jing Hongchen, entered the special Three Kingdoms VIP viewing area, where they were served delicious food and wine.

Xiao Hongchen clicked his tongue and whispered to Xu Tianxi, "The old emperor is so excited, it seems like he's the one who's going to play in this competition?"

Xu Tianxi calmly said, "He's a man who's about to die, so what he's pursuing is definitely his posthumous reputation. Our success this time will greatly benefit his reputation."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen's gaze lingered on the old emperor's weary face, and he couldn't help but retort:

"I remember that his sons and daughters all have high cultivation talent and would have no problem becoming Title Douluo. Why does he look like he's about to die?"

Xu Tianxi shrugged slightly: "I don't know, maybe it was an injury I sustained years ago."

In the VIP area of ​​the Three Kingdoms, everyone sized up the old emperor of the Sun Moon Empire and Xu Tianran next to him, their eyes shining with different light.

In a corner, two burly men dressed in bold, unrestrained clothing were whispering to each other. They were wearing the Haotian Sect's signature attire—coarse linen clothes embroidered with the Haotian Hammer.

"Fourth Brother, look, that old man who's barely clinging to life is the Emperor. I don't think we need to lift a finger; he won't live more than ten years."

“That’s right. The higher-ups didn’t tell us to pay attention to this old man. What we should pay attention to is that wheelchair prince, Xu Tianran. That’s the key person we’re here to observe.”

"Looking back along the way, Fifth Brother, where do you think would be a good spot for an assassination?"

"Well... I think we need to observe further..."

The Body Sect's Langya possessed powerful spiritual energy. Noticing that these two seemed to have some ideas, he smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying:
"Elders of Haotian Sect, if you two have any ideas, perhaps you could cooperate with our Body Sect."

The fourth elder of the Haotian Sect laughed and waved his hand, saying, "It's no problem, it's no problem. We'll discuss these matters slowly. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

The Fifth Elder of the Haotian Sect nodded in agreement: "Yes, these matters need to be carefully considered and should not be acted rashly."

While the Haotian Sect may be reckless, it doesn't mean they want to court death.

The lessons learned from Shrek Academy are still fresh in our minds. There must have been a trap set up in Mingdu City, with countless experts secretly watching them.

Even if they join forces and launch a sudden attack, killing the old emperor and the crown prince, they themselves will most likely still be stuck here.

It's not worth risking their lives for a useless crown prince from the Sun Moon Continent. The two sect leaders have long said that their Haotian Sect will not get involved themselves, but will only provide intelligence to potential future allies to ensure that Xu Tianran is doomed.

In short, the Haotian Sect would never do anything like charging into battle and sacrificing themselves in vain. All they wanted was to keep a low profile and live their own lives peacefully, which is how they have been doing it for countless years.

Lang Ya was naturally unaware that the renowned Haotian Sect intended to use them as cannon fodder to die. He assumed that there were still righteous people in the original Three Kingdoms who were willing to fight against the sun and moon together. He turned around happily and shared the good news with Vina, Huo Yuhao and others.

As expected, the Haotian Sect is responsible!

Upon hearing this, Vina thoughtfully said, "This is great news. Our Heavenly Soul Empire has a very good chance."

With the assistance of the two hidden sects, Benti and Haotian, the Heavenly Soul Empire's borders are sure to be impregnable!

"Ah."

Langya nodded, his gaze fixed intently on the people of the Sun and Moon Empire.

While it's impressive that you defeated Shrek Academy, our Body Sect and Clear Sky Sect have also dealt with Shrek Academy before. Our Sect Master has even gone to Hanhai City to discuss important matters with the Xuanming Sect...

Wait, the Xuanming Sect? The flamboyant young man sitting next to the young Moon Marquis of the Sun Moon Empire and the white-haired boy, chatting and laughing with them, does he look a bit like Xu Sanshi, the young sect master of the Xuanming Sect, from the intelligence records?

Lang Ya glanced around casually, but his eyelids twitched when he saw what appeared to be an important figure from the Three Kingdoms period in the opposing camp. He rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't mistaken.

What... what's going on? Shouldn't he still be at home recovering from his injuries?

Pressing his temples, Lang Ya called Huo Yuhao over and gave him some pointers:
"Yuhao, you've been to Shrek Academy before, have you seen that person? Isn't he Xu Sanshi from the Xuanming Sect?"

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, stared at Xu Sanshi for a while, and slowly nodded: "Yes, it's him. I've met him before."

"That's a big problem!"

A strange sense of crisis welled up in Langya's heart. He immediately sent a telepathic message to Prince Xueyu ahead and also informed Vina and Muxue, who were chatting.

"Things are bad. Xu Sanshi of the Xuanming Sect has appeared in the Sun Moon Empire."

"what?"

"Teacher, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

The two women, who were in good spirits, were suddenly filled with turmoil, and a hint of confusion flashed across their beautiful eyes.

Their Heavenly Soul Sect has the help of the Clear Sky Sect, and their opponents have the help of the Profound Nether Sect? That can't be that absurd!

Is the matching mechanism really that good at scheduling?

"It's impossible to be mistaken, Yuhao can testify." Lang Ya said with a serious expression.

"That……"

The two girls hesitated for a moment, then Vina's face immediately showed a capable look, and she said, "Teacher, how about we go and say hello to those people?"

Lang Ya paused for a moment, then nodded gently: "Be careful in everything."

"Teacher, don't worry."

……

One minute later.

Xu Tianxi, who was enjoying tea and conversation with Xiao Hongchen and Xu Sanshi, was surprised to see two figures with striking appearances and refined demeanors approaching. Vina, whose beauty was even more striking, wore a gentle smile and spoke in a friendly tone:

"I am Vina from the Heavenly Soul Empire. I have long admired the name of Marquis Yue and am finally able to meet you today. I have some questions, and I wonder if I may ask you about them?"
