Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

The Sun and Moon Empire is the residence of the Sun and Moon royal family.

For over a thousand years, the Sun and Moon Royal Family has continuously accepted individuals with powerful martial spirits to reproduce, resulting in a growing number of members within the family. Consequently, the emperor of that generation had to designate an area in the capital for the royal family to reside in.

Apart from those royal family members who were granted titles and sent to their fiefdoms, the rest of the Sun and Moon royal family members basically live here.

This was done both to allow the emperor to better control the movements of the imperial family and to facilitate the selection and training of personnel from within the family for the imperial palace.

Kong Deming, the strongest in the Hall of Worship today, is a prodigy who came from this royal residence!

Late at night, one of the palaces in this royal residence was brightly lit.

At this moment, many high-ranking members and powerful figures of the Sun and Moon Royal Family had gathered in the hall, as well as members of the Holy Spirit Cult, an evil soul master force!

"Everyone, that emperor back then killed his own brother to seize the throne, and we can do the same now!"

The speaker, dressed in a dragon robe, stood on a high platform and shouted loudly to the high-ranking members of the Sun and Moon Royal Family who were coming down below.

This person is named Xu Lizhi. His martial soul is the sun, and he is currently one of the top experts in the Sun Moon Royal Family. Although he is only a level 91 Title Douluo, he is the strongest among everyone present.

"If you all help me seize the throne tonight, you will all be my heroes! If that guy can be emperor, why can't I, Xu Lizhi, be one of them!"

Upon hearing this, the high-ranking members of the Sun and Moon Royal Family below exchanged glances.

They never expected that Xu Lizhi was hiding his true abilities so well, and that he had even broken through to the Title Douluo realm!

If the Holy Spirit Cult hadn't proactively sought cooperation with Xu Lizhi, these high-ranking members would probably still be unaware of Xu Lizhi's true strength and his long-hidden ambitions.

"Xu Lizhi, are you really sure that the Holy Spirit Cult will genuinely help us this time?" At this moment, a member of the Sun and Moon Royal Family couldn't help but ask.

"Of course! I have already contacted Lord Zhongliwu, a high-ranking member of the Holy Spirit Cult, and he will personally lend a hand!" At this moment, Xu Lizhi was already referring to himself as "I" in every sentence, and his desire for the throne and his determination to obtain it were already evident in his words.

"Your Majesty! I am willing to go through fire and water for you!" The head of the royal family of the Sun and Moon Clan immediately responded respectfully. The temptation of serving the emperor was simply too great.

Rather than being stuck here for the rest of your life until you die, why not take a chance and strive to reach a higher level!

Seeing that the Wang family had taken the lead in expressing their opinion, the other members of the royal family remained silent for a moment before following suit.

They also desperately wanted a promotion and were unwilling to remain content with the status quo.

"Hahaha! I will certainly not treat you unfairly in the future!"

"As you command, Your Majesty!"

In the shadows, the members of the Holy Spirit Cult watched the fanatical Sun and Moon Royal Family. Wu Yun curled his lip and said disdainfully, "These guys talk a good game, but when things get ugly, they'll probably be the first to run!"

Don't be fooled by the current "dedication" of the Sun and Moon Royal Family; when it really comes down to it, they're faster than anyone else at betraying their teammates.

A few months ago, their Holy Spirit Cult was betrayed by the current Emperor and Crown Prince.

"I feel like their ability to 'sell out their teammates' is ingrained in their genes," Nangong Wan joked.

"It's really possible."

The other elders echoed this sentiment, clearly agreeing with Nangong Wan's statement.

"When do we make our move?" Zhongli Wu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, did not participate in the elders' boring discussion, but instead turned his gaze to Feng Ling, who was standing to the side.

Feng Ling was nominally his wife, but in reality, she had long since lost all connection with him and had become a "phoenix" carefully cultivated by someone else.

The thought of this sent a sharp pain through Zhongli Wu's heart! It hurt so much!

Feng Ling shook her head and said, "We haven't received any instructions to take action yet. Everyone, please wait patiently."

However, Lord Gard specifically emphasized that this operation should only be undertaken to settle scores; those without grudges should remain quiet. The most important thing is to control the group of delusional royals below and prevent them from ruining the grand plan.

"So my godfather really is from that family?" Zhongli Wu's suspicions were confirmed.

A person with such heaven-defying strength as Gard must come from that mysterious family; otherwise, it would be truly inexplicable. "Zhongli Wu, these matters are none of your concern. You only need to remember that the core mission this time is to avenge Kong Deming!"

Fengling was somewhat annoyed by Zhongliwu's talkativeness.

Lord Gad's orders should be followed diligently; there's no need to delve into so many irrelevant details.

Zhongli Wu was speechless after being rebuked by Feng Ling.

He thought to himself: Everything has indeed changed.

In the past, even if Fengling disliked him, she would at least patiently say a few words to him; but now, she doesn't even have the patience to say another word to him.

Sure enough, only my godfather treated me the best in the world—he gave me the benefit of breaking through to the Limit Douluo level as soon as we met.

Dark clouds watched this scene unfold and silently looked away.

He always felt that the cult leader's mind was becoming increasingly abnormal.

If Feng Ling knew what Wu Yun was thinking, she would definitely retort, "He was abnormal before, he's just completely let himself go now."

It is important to know that after reaching the Limit Douluo realm, a person's state of mind and temperament often change.

Neither she nor Zhongli Wu could escape this rule!

Meanwhile, inside the Crown Prince's palace, Jin Tianming looked at the intelligence report presented by Mo Xie and slowly said, "These guys are finally going to make their move."

I've been waiting so long the flowers have almost withered.

"Lord Golden Dragon, are you planning to take action yourself?"

Seeing Jin Tianming stand up, Mo Xie cautiously probed and asked.

"It's been too long since I've stretched my muscles, so it's a good opportunity to go out and loosen up. Anyway, they're all just a bunch of lowlifes."

"But sir, according to intelligence, their leader, Xu Lizhi, is a titled Douluo."

"He's just a Title Douluo who barely broke through by taking drugs. He's not even qualified to be considered my opponent—at most, he's just an insignificant stepping stone."

As Jin Tianming walked out of the palace, he spoke, his eyes filled with undisguised arrogance.

Seeing this, Mo Xie said no more and silently disappeared into Jin Tianming's shadow.

He knew that once Lord Jinlong made a decision, he would never change it.

My most important task right now is to fulfill my duty of protection and to immediately take Lord Jinlong away from danger should any danger arise.

Deep within the palace, the perpetually sickly Emperor Sun and Moon was trembling with rage.

He nearly fainted from anger upon seeing the secret letter brought by Kong Deming.

"These traitors! Have they gone mad?!"

"I dared to usurp the throne back then because it was the will of the people and the expectation of the masses! What right do they have? What right do they have to covet the throne!"

"Master Kong, quickly... quickly invite the Crown Prince over! I have important matters to discuss with him... cough cough cough..."

Before he could finish speaking, a violent cough suddenly struck, bringing the Emperor to an abrupt halt. He could only clutch his chest and cough incessantly, his face turning deathly pale.

Standing to the side, Kong Deming sighed helplessly, walked quickly to the emperor's side, gently patted his back, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid... it's too late."

"Kong Deming! What do you mean by that?!" The emperor, who was coughing violently, immediately sensed something was wrong. He suppressed the sharp pain in his chest, looked up at Kong Deming, and questioned him with a trembling voice.
