Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Sun Moon Empire
In a secret underground chamber of a branch of the Holy Spirit Cult, screams and roars rose and fell.

"Stop it, you guys!"

"I am the Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire!"

"You can't treat me like this! The Imperial Advisor and I are..."

Xu Tianran was hung upside down on the wall, with two people who looked like evil spirit masters standing below him, wielding leather whips and lashing him hard.

At this moment, Xu Tianran was in a terrible state, his body covered with hideous whip marks, his skin torn and bleeding.

If you look down, you can see that his pants have been torn off, and the area that should have male characteristics is now completely empty.

This was the part that most devastated Xu Tianran. Not only did he have to endure physical pain, but he also had to be wantonly humiliated in such a humiliating state.

He felt dizzy and disoriented, as if the whole world was about to collapse.

Once word gets out that he has lost his dragon root, he will become a laughingstock of the Sun Moon Empire, and his position as crown prince will surely be in jeopardy.

The excruciating pain surged like a relentless tide, nearly causing him to faint, only to be repeatedly awakened by the pain.

If Xu Tianran could be given another chance, he would definitely stay in his own Crown Prince's Palace and would rather die than go to the Sun Moon Royal Academy to find Jing Hongchen. He was simply suffering a lot.

Jin Tianming sat at a distance, instructing his dragon-descendant subordinates to teach Xu Tianran a lesson, and then sat there pondering his next plan.

He considered having Tianmu Cheng refine Xu Tianran, but after careful consideration, he gave up the idea.

Because once Ye Xishui learns of Tianmucheng's existence, or realizes that she intends to send Xu Tianran there, she will definitely follow.

That contract could at most restrict her, but it couldn't completely control her.

Therefore, Jin Tianming finally abandoned this idea and began to think of other solutions.

Just then, someone tried to establish a mental link with him, and he immediately accepted it.

Mo Yan's voice rang out: "Jin Tianming, I need your help."

Upon hearing Mo Yan ask for help, Jin Tianming couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and tease, "It's quite unexpected that you would come to me for help."

"There's no other way. We need your help to get things going from here on out, and the Seed of the Plane is in my hands now."

"What?" A hint of surprise flashed across Jin Tianming's calm eyes. He hadn't expected that Mo Yan had actually obtained the Seed of the Plane. When did this guy become so capable?

"Is it a surprise?"

"Indeed, it's quite unexpected." Jin Tianming nodded, his tone full of surprise. "How can I help you?"

"You don't need to create public opinion yourself; you just need to fuel it," Mo Yan explained. If Dugu Luo were to simply spread the news, Shrek Academy would quickly suppress it.

Therefore, she planned to have Jin Tianming of the Sun Moon Empire promote this matter and spread the news to the Three Kingdoms, forcing the high-ranking officials of the Three Kingdoms to intervene.

However, Mo Yan didn't intend to destroy Shrek Academy in this way. If this method were effective, she would have implemented it long ago. She simply wanted to give Mu En and the Sea God Pavilion something to do, so they wouldn't have time to approach Tang San.

We should try to prolong the time; we originally just wanted to have some fun at Shrek Academy, but it has unexpectedly come in handy now.

Upon hearing Mo Yan's words, Jin Tianming assumed she was trying to annoy Shrek Academy again, so he nodded in agreement. After all, Xu Tianran was on his side now, and he had plenty of ways to push things along.

Just then, a surge of fortune suddenly arrived. Jin Tianming looked at the dense fortune and asked in surprise, "Where did you get this fortune from?"

"The Lord of the Plane? This is all she has left. I'll take two-tenths, and you can have the rest."

“You need to strengthen your forces now, things will probably get chaotic after the Soul Master Competition,” Mo Yan replied. Although his voice was still lazy, Jin Tianming could keenly detect the seriousness hidden within it.

Jin Tianming didn't immediately try to touch that aura. With a probing look in his eyes, he asked curiously, "Are you afraid?"

Mo Yan gently shook his head, his hair swaying slightly with the movement: "No, it is an honor to die for him, but it's just that time really flies."

She paused for a moment, gazing at the spiritual world before her, as if recalling or pondering, "Besides, it's better to give this fortune to you than to give it to me, at least you can unleash your full potential."

“I understand,” Jin Tianming replied in a deep voice.

Soon, the mental link between the two broke like a thread.

Jin Tianming carefully put away the aura of fortune that was shrouded in mysterious light, without rushing to absorb it. Given the current situation, absorbing it at this time would obviously not be a wise move.

He stood up, walked up to Xu Tianran, glanced at the guy who looked no different from a eunuch, and asked with a hint of wicked amusement, "Tell me, if I made you run naked in the street, do you think that's appropriate?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran angrily looked down at Jin Tianming.

When he met Jin Tianming's indifferent gaze, which seemed to regard him as an ant, negative emotions such as anger, resentment, and malice surged in his mind.

Finally, suppressing his anger, he spoke in an extremely hoarse voice: "Jin Tianming, this is all a misunderstanding. If you let me go, I am willing to share the world with you in the future, how about it?"

Seeing that the other party remained unmoved, he added, "If you don't believe me, I can tell you something: my father's days are numbered."

Hearing these words, Jin Tianming's expression remained unchanged. He stared at Xu Tianran, the "filial son" in front of him, and slowly shook his head.

"Even if you become a puppet, this world can still be mine."

After saying this, Jin Tianming walked out of the secret room.

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran felt a sudden sense of foreboding. He immediately roared, "Jin Tianming! You'd better understand that I'm discussing this with you! If my father discovers that I'm missing, he will definitely investigate the entire city."

When things come to light, we're both finished!

Upon hearing this, Jin Tianming paused, glanced back at the ferocious Crown Prince in front of him out of the corner of his eye, and sneered: "You seem to have forgotten why you dared to seek cooperation with Jing Hongchen in the first place." After saying this, he stepped out of the secret room without looking back.

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran's mind went completely blank.

He did indeed choose to win over Jing Hongchen because of the news of Jin Tianming's "death".

But the person in front of me is clearly alive and well, so what's going on?

Zhongli Wu couldn't possibly deceive himself, so there was only one possibility—that mysterious family truly possessed the art of resurrection!?
A chill ran down Xu Tianran's spine, and he truly felt the taste of fear.

Could it be that all of this was a scheme orchestrated by Jin Tianming's family from the very beginning?

Jin Tianming's study of the Soul Guidance Department was just a pretext; his current position was the real target he coveted.
