Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 235 Long Xiaoyao and Bibi Dong
The Sun-Moon Empire possesses the greatest wealth on the continent and the most advanced soul guidance technology. It has also offered very generous rewards for this competition.

Compared to the soul bone rewards offered by other empires, the rewards of the Sun-Moon Empire are soul guides. The champion will be rewarded with a ninth-level soul guide, the runner-up will be rewarded with an eighth-level soul guide, and the third place will be rewarded with a seventh-level soul guide.

In terms of value, it is higher than the soul bone, especially the champion's ninth-level soul guide, which is a soul guide that only the Sun-Moon Empire possesses. In the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, the strongest was only an eighth-level soul guide.

Under the temptation of the ninth-level soul guide device, all the sects preparing to participate in the competition are ready to go. Even if they do not need the ninth-level soul guide device, as long as they are willing to sell it, they can most likely exchange it for more precious treasures from the hands of several major empires that are in urgent need of ninth-level soul guide device samples.

In this competition of the Sun and Moon Empire, you can not only gain various honors, become famous in one battle, but also obtain generous rewards.

For many soul masters who have reached the limit of their cultivation, soul guides are a good way to enhance themselves.

If a soul master who is stuck at the Soul Douluo level and cannot make any progress possesses a ninth-level soul guide, he will be able to possess the combat power of a Titled Douluo and go to more dangerous places to look for opportunities for breakthroughs.

This is too tempting for those soul masters who are stuck at a bottleneck.

Therefore, many sects that originally did not plan to participate in the competition changed their minds and decided to take part in this competition.

The Imperial Palace of the Sun and Moon Empire.

A beautiful black-haired girl was pushing a wheelchair, on which sat a purple-haired young man. They were none other than the Crown Prince Xu Tianran and the Crown Princess Juzi of the Sun and Moon Empire.

"How is Father doing?"

Xu Tianran said calmly.

"Your Majesty has been in a coma for several days. According to the report from the imperial physician, Your Majesty may not hold out for much longer."

Orange's eyes flickered as he spoke softly.

"Yeah."

Xu Tianran had a blank expression on his face, as if the person lying on the hospital bed dying was not his father, but a stranger.

Seeing this scene, Orange felt a chill in his heart and lowered his head slightly.

"How's the military doing?"

Xu Tianran didn't notice anything unusual about Orange and continued to ask.

"Most of the military has chosen to stand on our side. Except for the Royal Soul Instructor Corps and the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Corps, the three leaders of Fire Phoenix, Evil Lord, and Terror Claw are all willing to support you."

Orange whispered.

"Very good. After this competition is over, you will go to the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group and take over the Fire Phoenix."

Xu Tianran said calmly.

Juzi suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with surprise. She suppressed her thoughts and asked doubtfully, "What about Fire Phoenix Douluo?"

"Don't worry, Fire Phoenix is ​​still on our side. The Empire will form a Molten Knights Order, with those two little guys as the leader and vice-leader. Fire Phoenix handing over the position of leader is a form of balance and compromise. Otherwise, the Molten Knights Order will not be led by those two little guys, even if they have the support of the Royal Offering Hall."

Xu Tianran smiled faintly. Compared with the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group, the newly established Molten Knights had no battle records yet, but everyone was full of expectations for it, including him.

Orange was a little surprised. With Xu Tianran's personality, he didn't control such a force in his own hands, but actually handed it over to two young men.

Orange didn't know that although Xu Tianran admired Meteor and Firefly, and Firefly Douluo was on his side, he didn't completely trust Firefly Douluo, Meteor and Firefly. He only trusted himself and Orange.

The reason why he gave up the Molten Knights was also a compromise. He was not the emperor yet, but only the crown prince. If he wanted to truly ascend the throne, the support of the Royal Worship Hall was necessary, and Kong Deming's attitude was very important. In order to win over Kong Deming, he gave up the Molten Knights and chose to completely take over the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Corps from Fire Phoenix Douluo.

Kong Deming once promised Liuxing and Liuying that the Molten Knights belonged to them. If Xu Tianran really wanted to snatch them away, he could still get them, but he would definitely offend Kong Deming, which was something he didn't want to see.

He simply gave up on the Molten Knights. As long as there was one Molten Knights, there would be a second and a third. He was not in a hurry.

"Juzi, I have high hopes for you. Once you have complete control over the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group, you will be able to gain a firm foothold in the military. I hope that when the war begins, you will be the commander-in-chief of the three armies and help me expand my territory."

Xu Tianran turned around and looked at Orange.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I only have two wishes in this life: to follow Your Highness and to destroy the Xingluo Empire. I do not seek status or fame."

Orange quickly knelt down respectfully.

Xu Tianran reached out and helped Juzi up, saying softly, "Juzi, there's no need for this between you and me. I've already made you the Crown Princess. In the future, you will be the Empress of this Empire and my Grand Marshal. There's no need to be so reserved."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Juzi stood up following Xu Tianran's movements, very obediently, but with a cold look in his eyes.

Based on her understanding of Xu Tianran, these words were just superficial. If she really tried to act like a queen or a marshal, she would die without knowing how she died.

Juzi knew exactly what happened to those who supported Xu Tianran and then did not know how to restrain themselves, because she was the one who helped Xu Tianran deal with it!
She didn't want to end up like that one day. She couldn't die before seeking revenge on Duke Baihu, so she was always cautious in front of Xu Tianran and never did anything unnecessary.

Serving the king is like serving a tiger. Xu Tianran used to be a wise king who was tolerant of others, but now Xu Tianran is a complete tyrant and a tyrant. He will kill anyone who displeases him, no matter who that person is.

Even if they are his own people, if they are annoying to him, he will not show mercy.

It was this decisive and ruthless style that earned Xu Tianran the support of the military, because they saw hope in Xu Tianran, the hope of the Sun Moon Empire unifying the continent.

Even the Royal Worship Hall was optimistic about Xu Tianran and tacitly agreed that Xu Tianran would control the entire Sun and Moon Empire when the emperor was unconscious.

As a disabled person who has achieved this, Xu Tianran is a very qualified hero.

Therefore, Orange felt more fear than gratitude towards Xu Tianran.

"How are the preparations going on with Hongchen Hall Master?"

Xu Tianran smiled faintly and looked out the window of the palace, as if he saw the academies and sects coming from all directions.

Xu Tianran trusted Juzi very much and handed over almost all intelligence matters to Juzi. Of course, only he knew whether he had any hidden tricks in secret.

Orange nodded and said, "Everything is ready and proceeding according to the original plan."

Xu Tianran said calmly, "A wise bird chooses its own tree to inhabit. I hope they can understand the current situation. The people from Shrek Academy are here too, but it's a pity that they can't be used by me."

"But it doesn't matter. With the power of the Spirit Hall and the Holy Spirit Church, Shrek Academy has nothing to fear."

Ju Zi said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, the Spirit Hall is extremely ambitious and I'm afraid it will become a major threat to the empire in the future."

Xu Tianran smiled and said, "I know what's going on with this matter. Don't worry. Ask Mr. Zhongli to come over and tell him I have something important to discuss with you."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Orange nodded and turned to leave.

Xu Tianran closed his eyes again, still smiling and relaxed, as if he were slightly dozing off. In this back garden filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, the quiet comfort was captivating. The Spirit Hall and the Holy Spirit Church were merely his pawns, and these two forces were naturally hostile to each other. This was the situation he most desired.

Use the Spirit Hall to check and balance the Holy Spirit Church, and there is no need to worry about the two forces joining forces. Even if the Pope wants to do this, the angel clan will not agree.

The Holy Spirit Church has been making some big moves recently, and needs the help of the Spirit Hall to crack down on it. Otherwise, does the Holy Spirit Church really regard it as the state religion of his Sun-Moon Empire?
For Xu Tianran, the Holy Spirit Church is a bit too strong! This is not good.

However, the next war will still require the Holy Spirit Church to take the lead, and we cannot easily let the Spirit Hall and the Holy Spirit Church come into conflict. Fortunately, the Pope of the Spirit Hall is also a wonderful person.

Still with his eyes closed, Xu Tianran had a mocking smile on his face. The Spirit Hall believed in the God of Angels, but the Pope was an evil soul master and the successor of an evil god. This was too interesting.

"This, this really is a city."

Looking at the huge city in front of them that didn't even have city walls, Ning Rongrong and others were shocked.

Because of the alliance, Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong, Jian Douluo and Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Prince Xuexing and Dugu Bo of the Heaven Dou Empire, and Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing of the Star Luo Empire gathered together.

They were all shocked at the same time, staring blankly at Mingdu, the city that shattered their three perspectives.

Especially when they saw the tall buildings, the shock became even stronger and their eyes became unconsciously solemn.

The power and prosperity of the Sun and Moon Empire can be seen from this Mingdu, which is incomparable to Tiandou City of the Tiandou Empire and Xingluo City of the Xingluo Empire.

Not only them, but everyone who came to Mingdu for the first time would show the same expression, even the people from Shrek Academy and Tang Sect were the same.

"This is Mingdu, known as the number one city on the continent. It is truly beyond imagination."

There was shock in Tang San's eyes. Whether in his previous life or this life, it was the first time he saw such a shocking city.

"By the way, Rongrong, why don't you see Xiao Ao?"

Dai Mubai calmed down the shock in his heart and looked towards the team of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. He did not see Oscar and there was confusion in his eyes. With Oscar's personality, he must be where Ning Rongrong is.

"Xiao Ao, he..."

Speaking of Oscar, Ning Rongrong's eyes turned red, and Ning Fengzhi sighed.

Soon, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing learned what had happened. After Oscar learned the rules of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, he said goodbye and left the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect alone, saying that he was going to find a way to become a combat soul master. He asked Ning Rongrong to wait for him for ten years, and if he didn't come back, there was no need to wait any longer.

Oscar left without saying goodbye after leaving these words.

"this."

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing looked at each other, but they couldn't blame Ning Rongrong. After all, this was the rule of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and Ning Rongrong couldn't resist.

Just like the two of them, they were unable to resist the rules of the Star Luo Empire, otherwise they would not have escaped from the Star Luo Empire in the first place.

Every family has its own problems. According to the rules of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, it is indeed difficult for Oscar to be with Ning Rongrong.

But there is still a chance. Among the soul masters of the Sun-Moon Empire, there are many auxiliary soul masters, and they also possess power that is not inferior to that of combat soul masters.

"Don't worry, Rongrong. Xiao Ao is looking for a way to become a combat spirit master. He might have come to the Sun Moon Empire as well."

Zhu Zhuqing consoled him.

"That's what I thought, that's why I came here with my dad."

Ning Rongrong nodded. She also felt that Oscar was likely to come to the Sun-Moon Empire to find a way to become a soul mentor.

"Come on, let's go in."

Dai Mubai said.

They all had invitation letters from the Sun-Moon Empire and were smoothly taken to a luxurious hotel by the reception staff of the Sun-Moon Empire and arranged for their stay.

They are not here to participate in the competition, so they don't need to register. They just need to wait for the competition to start.

"Teacher, this Mingdu is so prosperous!"

On the other side, Hu Liena exclaimed in amazement as she looked at the patrolling soldiers, the busy streets, and the various soul guides.

Bibi Dong nodded. This Mingdu was indeed very prosperous. Whether it was the building area or the number of tall buildings, it far exceeded all the cities in their world.

Compared with Mingdu, their Wuhun City seems like a countryside.

This gave Bibi Dong the urge to ask the Sun Moon Empire to help them renovate Wuhun City.

"His Holiness the Pope."

Snake Spear Douluo, wearing golden armor, appeared in front of Bibi Dong and the others and bowed his head in salute.

"where is she?"

Bibi Dong said coldly when she saw that only Snake Spear Douluo was there.

"The young master is in the hotel that the Sun and Moon Empire prepared for us. She has already prepared wine and food for you."

Although Snake Spear Douluo's tone was respectful, it was obviously superficial.

"lead the way."

Bibi Dong said expressionlessly, without asking why Qian Renxue didn't come to greet her in person.

Before leaving, Bibi Dong glanced towards an alley.

In the dark alley, two black-robed figures were looming.

"Uncle Long, she seems to have discovered us?"

There was surprise in Zhongli Wu's tone. He never expected that he would be discovered even with Long Xiaoyao present.

"As expected of the heir to the throne, I sense a deadly danger from her. That power is as terrifying as the abyss. Once it erupts, it will be enough to destroy the entire Mingdu."

Long Xiaoyao looked straight at Bibi Dong's back and sighed. He had already overestimated the power of the heir to the throne of God, but Bibi Dong still gave him too many surprises. He originally thought that Bibi Dong, who had not yet completed the divine test, was not that powerful, but now it seems that he underestimated Bibi Dong.

He had a premonition that even if he personally took action against Bibi Dong, he would be unable to do anything to her.

Zhongli Wu's eyes flickered. He was very envious of the position of Rakshasa God, but he also knew that the position of God could not be snatched away just by wanting to, and Bibi Dong was not a pushover either.
