Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Jin Tianming made a deal with Du Busi, intending to frame Xu Tianran for his death. However, he never expected that due to Ye Xishui's unexpected turn of events, Xu Tianran would become a puppet, rendering Du Busi completely useless.

The current situation left him momentarily at a loss as to what conditions to use.

Just then, Gad sent a letter, explicitly asking him to participate in Shrek Academy's affairs, in order to indirectly weaken Moon and pave the way for the "Black" and "White Feather" plans.

After thinking for a moment, he felt that the suggestion was quite appropriate, so he decided to let Poison Undying put some pressure on Shrek Academy and settle the deal between him and Poison Undying.

As for whether Du Bu Si would refuse after breaking through to the Limit Douluo level, Jin Tianming was full of confidence.

He has the ability to both grant immortality to poison and destroy it; he has the confidence to do so.

After all, Jin Tianming never engages in charity work that results in a loss.

"Moxie!"

"My subordinate is here."

Mo Xie appeared in front of Jin Tianming in an instant, knelt on one knee, and respectfully responded.

"How's the surveillance on those royal family members going?" Jin Tianming asked with a hint of curiosity.

Since the day Xu Tianran was taken into custody, the actions of the Sun Moon Royal Family members have been basically under his surveillance.

He was prepared to take drastic action at the slightest sign of trouble from the other side.

Originally, he had included Kong Deming, the Sun and Moon Worshipper, among those he needed to be wary of, but he never expected that the old man would choose to surrender directly and stand on his side.

In doing so, the Sun and Moon Royal Family is practically courting death.

Mo Xie immediately reported all the information about the other dragon descendants, including the collusion between the Sun and Moon Royal Family and the Holy Spirit Cult, to Jin Tianming in detail.

Upon hearing the words "Holy Spirit Cult," Jin Tianming glanced at the envelope on the table again and then fell silent.

"Good, good, good. This Gad really knows how to urge things on."

Jin Tianming thought to himself, then gave the order: "Hold your positions for now. I want to see what tricks they can pull."

"Yes!"

"By the way, is the old emperor nearing his end?"

"It's still uncertain; it might take several more months. However, if the Sun and Moon royal families make their move first, this emperor will likely be driven to his death by anger," Mo Xie analyzed. "That emperor usurped the throne, and those royal families sensed from the beginning that there were too many unstable factors behind him. Now..."

"It can only be said that when the strength is not in your own hands, you are in such a passive position."

Jin Tianming's gaze fell downwards, landing on Xu Tianran, who sat motionless in a wheelchair like a puppet.

This prince is truly pitiful. He toiled his whole life, only to have the fruits of victory fall into his own hands in the end.

This world is ultimately a world where the strong prey on the weak.

If a way to defeat Tang San cannot be found in the future, then the original body will eventually perish.

Ye Xishui walked slowly towards the outside of the offering hall.

This time, she came at the invitation of Kong Deming.

She quietly entered the offering hall, casually scanning the area with her spiritual power, and was somewhat surprised to find that only Kong Deming was inside.

Her gaze fell on Kong Deming, who was polishing a soul tool model.

"You're all alone in the offering hall. Aren't you afraid I might suddenly attack you at this moment, Teacher Kong Deming?"

Upon hearing Ye Xishui call him "teacher," Kong Deming put down his tools and models, looked up, met Ye Xishui's calm and unwavering eyes, and invited her to sit down.

Ye Xishui didn't say much this time, and followed Kong Deming to sit down opposite him.

She was very curious about what this strongest elder of the Sun Moon Empire was really up to.

Click... Kong Deming picked up the soul tool kettle with the boiled water and started making tea. While pouring the tea, he said with a smile, "Ever since I taught classmate Sheng Yangyue, I have gradually come to enjoy making tea by myself."

Now that I finally have some former students to drink tea with, it makes me nostalgic for the old days.

Ye Xishui looked at the tea that was pushed in front of her, but did not reach for it. Instead, she said with a smile, "Master Kong, are you trying to play the emotional card with me now?"

Hearing the sarcasm in Ye Xishui's words, Kong Deming didn't care. He simply said slowly, "Back then, I did want to go to Shrek Academy, but I couldn't get away from it in the end."

You must understand, I have royal blood flowing through my veins…

"Then how do you explain it now?" Ye Xishui interrupted Kong Deming directly, while pointing to a royal list on the table in the distance.

She discovered the list when she scanned it with her mental energy, which surprised her greatly.

"People always change, don't they?" Kong Deming said slowly, still unconcerned. "Just like you."

"Ha ha……"

"I know that I wronged you back then, and Sun Moon Academy also wronged you."

But I never intended to abandon you.

I was actually aware of the matter of you killing Zhongli the other day; I even turned a blind eye to what your Holy Spirit Cult has been doing these past few years.”

"I know about this, but what's the point of knowing? Back then, I was someone that your Sun Moon Academy looked down on."

“Yes…” Kong Deming sighed. He naturally knew that back then, because Ye Xishui was a disciple of an evil soul master, the entire academy was basically on guard against her.

Moreover, everyone knew at the time that Zhongli the Old Ghost was one of the strongest people on the continent, and also a notoriously vicious and ruthless individual.

An eerie silence instantly fell between the two. Only Kong Deming silently drank his tea, pondering how to bring up the topic and invite Ye Xishui to join the research project on level 10 soul tools.

Although he has now broken through to level 95, there are still some limitations to his abilities on his own.

Finally, Ye Xishui broke the silence first, asking somewhat impatiently, "Speak, what do you want from me?"

"You should know about the Soul Spirit Technique that the Jin Tianming family talks about, right?"

“I understand that. After he takes over the Sun Moon Empire, he will carry out reforms, and he plans to use that Soul Spirit Method to start the transformation plan for the Sun Moon Empire.”

"After reviewing those materials, a bold idea emerged in my mind." At this point, Kong Deming slowly began, "I want to research a level ten soul tool, a level ten soul tool that can be compatible with the Soul Spirit Technique."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xishui instantly understood Kong Deming's intention, but her gaze held a hint of mockery as she stared intently at him: "You old geezer, so you want to make a name for yourself in history!"

"There's no other way. I've already decided to give the entire Sun Moon Empire to Jin Tianming as compensation for you and Yangyue."

"Shouldn't you leave me some room to pursue my own interests?"

Kong Deming did not deny his own thoughts.

He knew very well that the so-called master from the neighboring continent was able to leave his name for ten thousand years simply by teaching a disciple of a god; if he could create the first level ten soul tool, and if this soul tool was also beneficial to the development of humans and soul beasts, then his achievements would at least be no less than those of that master.

Ye Xishui was silent for half a second, then finally nodded: "I understand. Just let me know when the time comes."

"You agree?"

"if not?"

"I'm really a bit surprised," Kong Deming exclaimed.

He originally thought Ye Xishui would refuse in the end, but she ultimately agreed, which was completely beyond his expectations.

"You should be glad that you chose to sit idly by regarding the Sun Moon Empire, otherwise I really would like to try what it's like to 'kill your master'."
