Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Chapter 138 Ning Zhifeng: From now on, the Holy Lord will be the ancestor of Jiu Bao!
Late at night, the Sun and Moon Palace was quiet. Jing Hongchen entered the palace alone, her steps light and deliberate. She went straight to the Imperial Study where the Emperor reviewed memorials, sat down on a chair, and quietly waited for the Sun and Moon Emperor to arrive.

To be honest, he was reluctant to meet the emperor, and lately, he had keenly sensed that the emperor's wariness of him had become increasingly obvious.

However, the offer Jin Tianming made was too tempting: a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone. This enormous temptation was hard for him to resist, forcing him to keep the appointment.

Not long after, Emperor Sun and Moon, with a smile on his face, walked into the imperial study with leisurely steps. When he saw Jing Hongchen sitting there, the emperor instantly became enthusiastic and asked, "Master Hongchen, what brings such an honored guest as you today?"

Jing Hongchen looked up at the overly enthusiastic emperor, her lips twitching slightly. The emperor's acting talent was unparalleled, and his immersion in the role was astonishing.

He quickly stood up and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Master Hongchen, we're old friends, no need for such formalities," the emperor said with a smile, but he made no attempt to instruct the eunuchs around him to prepare tea for his guest. Instead, he asked curiously, "May I ask what brings Master Hongchen here so late at night?"

Looking at the emperor's hypocritical smile, Jing Hongchen cursed "dog emperor" in her heart, but still smiled and said, "Your Majesty, my young friend Jin Tianming will come to pay his respects to Your Majesty tomorrow."

"really?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of suspicion flashed in the emperor's eyes. Previously, he had sent people to invite him many times and had Jing Hongchen deliver messages, but the arrogant young man always used the excuse of seclusion to make excuses. Unexpectedly, this time Jing Hongchen brought good news.

"What are you all standing there for? Quickly make tea for Master Hongchen!" The emperor turned to look at the eunuch, his smile vanishing instantly, replaced by an imposing expression, and coldly issued the order.

The eunuch quickly withdrew and did as instructed. The emperor looked at Jing Hongchen again, his face full of smiles, and feigned an apology: "I'm sorry, my subordinates are not very bright. I hope Hall Master Hongchen will not take offense."

"Your Majesty is too kind; there is nothing to worry about." Jing Hongchen looked at the smiling tiger before him, his heart unmoved. He knew all too well that this emperor, who had successfully usurped the throne, was most skilled in disguise and scheming.

"Hahaha. It's good that Master Hongchen understands. I was just afraid that Master might have some grudges." The emperor's words seemed relaxed, but in fact they contained a test and a warning. The implication was that Jing Hongchen should keep a low profile, or else he would have to bear the consequences.

"Your Majesty, I am only thinking of the Sun Moon Empire. How could I have any other thoughts?" Jing Hongchen replied earnestly.

Upon hearing this answer, the emperor revealed a bright smile, his laughter echoing in the imperial study: "Hahahaha." This old fox only mentioned the Sun Moon Empire, never mentioning the royal family, making it difficult for him to choose a candidate.

As Jing Hongchen left the palace, she stood outside the palace gate and looked back at the magnificent palace. The emperor's expression control was superb. After their exchange, even he was somewhat unable to cope.

It's true what they say, serving a ruler is like serving a tiger!
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Jing Hongchen. The person said respectfully, "Sect Master Hongchen, the Crown Prince invites you."

"Hmph!" Jing Hongchen snorted coldly, not even glancing at the man, and replied without any politeness, "I have no interest. The position of Crown Prince is entirely up to the First Prince to earn through his own abilities. His Majesty has already decreed that level nine Soul Masters are not allowed to interfere in this matter."

He was already frustrated by dealing with the emperor, and the eldest prince's arrival only added to his anger.

In his view, the eldest prince had neither the power of an emperor nor the strength of his living father, Jin Tianming, so what right did he have to point fingers at him, a level nine soul master?

Before the man could reply, Jing Hongchen had vanished. Leaving him standing there, furious and enraged, he cursed, "How dare they show such disrespect to the Crown Prince! They deserve to die!" Meanwhile, Jin Tianming, engrossed in researching soul tools in his dormitory, received a message from Jing Hongchen and a meaningful smile appeared on his face: "This emperor is truly impatient!"

He glanced at the invitation in his hand again and muttered to himself, "And... even the Crown Prince couldn't resist and sent Ju Zi to invite me."

The struggle for the crown prince position has now reached a fever pitch, with each of the three princes harboring their own ambitions. Despite the eldest prince's seemingly kind demeanor, he is actually the most treacherous.

“However,” Jin Tianming casually tossed the invitation aside, saying nonchalantly, “I have no interest in people who rely on external forces to enhance their strength.”

As he spoke, Jin Tianming tidied up the soul tools on the table and began to think about how to enhance Xiao Hongchen's strength.

In the future, he will rely on the Sun and Moon Team to defeat the Shrek Team in the Soul Master Competition and win this battle of destiny.

If he could defeat those guys in the competition, he would gain a lot of luck, which was extremely attractive to him. Therefore, he was determined to win the championship of the next Soul Master Competition!

Just as Jin Tianming was planning for the future, Tianmu Cheng was extremely busy in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye World.

In an attempt to force Chen Ming to break through to level 98, he consumed a large amount of pills and unrefined immortal herbs, but in the end, he only managed to raise Chen Ming to level 97, and his foundation was extremely unstable.

Fortunately, under the refinement of the Dragon Soul, Chen Ming became loyal to Tian Mucheng, and his martial soul evolved from the Seven Kill Sword to the Seven Kill Dragon Sword.

At this point, both of Ning Zhifeng's bodyguards had become members of Tianmucheng.

Tian Mucheng looked at Chen Ming, who was consolidating his cultivation, and nodded in satisfaction. It was time to send Chen Ming back to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Presumably, Du Busi had already invited that medical titled Douluo from the Star Luo Empire.

"Little Zhifeng, you should just be a good tool!" Tianmu Cheng muttered to himself.

At this moment, Ning Zhifeng was in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, busy replacing the stone statue of Ning Rongrong's ancestor with the stone statue of the Holy Lord.

Suddenly, he yawned, thinking that his ancestor Ning Rongrong was blaming him. He comforted himself, saying, "Ancestor Ning Rongrong, it's because you didn't give me any benefits. The Holy Lord has given me far too much. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is now closely connected with the Holy Lord!"

The thought of breaking through the limitations of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda made Ning Zhifeng tremble with excitement. Everything was for the Holy Lord, and he was determined to show the Holy Lord his unwavering loyalty!
Somewhere in the realm of gods
Holding a branch of flowers, Ning Rongrong was completely absorbed in the magnificent floral display. In an instant, a thought struck her, and she keenly sensed that the power of her faith was quietly waning like a receding tide.

But then he thought that this power of faith was of little use to him, so he discarded it like a worn-out shoe.

After all, the rich fragrance of flowers before one's eyes is far more real and alluring than the ethereal power of faith.

She truly lives up to her reputation as a little witch!
