Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Within the territory of the Sun Moon Empire, those "rats" lurking in the shadows seemed to have sensed something amiss and were trying to peek out to investigate, but they were dealt with on the spot as soon as they appeared.

It was as if they had been targeted all along.

These spies planted by other forces never understood how they were exposed until their deaths.

"I never imagined that the Sun Moon Empire would harbor so many rats!" Xiao Hongchen exclaimed in amazement as he looked at the corpses lying haphazardly before him. "If we hadn't come out for training today, we wouldn't have known that Mingdu had been infiltrated by spies from other empires."

"No wonder so many soul tools from our empire have ended up in other empires. With these guys around, our Sun Moon Empire's soul tool blockade is completely ineffective." Orange said coldly as she ordered her soldiers to dispose of the corpses, her eyes filled with icy killing intent.

"Sister Orange, where else are the mice hiding?" Meng Hongchen asked curiously from the side.

Their training mission today is specifically to eliminate these spies in the capital.

"besides……"

Just as Ju Zi was about to speak, Xiao Hongchen's voice suddenly caught the attention of the two women.

"Yuhao, what's wrong with you?"

They looked up and saw Huo Yuhao trembling violently, his fists clenched tightly, staring intently at the corpse in front of him, the killing intent emanating from him almost overflowing.

As his good brother, Xiao Hongchen immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to ask with concern.

Orange glanced at the male corpse and instantly realized—this was a spy sent by Duke White Tiger.

Like her, Huo Yuhao also harbored a deep hatred for the White Tiger Duke.

“Xiao Hongchen, he’s just a little agitated because he saw his enemy’s men. You stay and look after him.”

Ju Zi gave Xiao Hongchen a word of advice, then turned and left with Meng Hongchen to deal with the other hidden spies.

Meanwhile, inside the imperial palace of the Sun Moon Empire, all the ministers knelt trembling on the ground, not daring to even breathe. They never imagined that the emperor would suddenly summon everyone in the middle of the night. They thought it was some urgent matter, but they never expected that something so terrible had happened—someone had murdered the emperor.

Although "regicide" is not uncommon in the history of the Sun Moon Royal Family, and such things are often done by the royal family members in their struggle for power, this time is different!
The one who carried out the assassination and succeeded was not a member of the Sun Moon Royal Family, but Jin Tianming, the strongest genius whom the Sun Moon Empire regarded as "most likely to defeat Shrek Academy".

At this moment, Jin Tianming, accompanied by Kong Deming and Ye Yulin, walked up to the high platform where the throne was located, but did not sit down.

Firstly, he is not yet qualified to "sit on the throne"; secondly, he never intended to become emperor.

His true goal is to transform the Sun Moon Empire into a federation ten thousand years later, and after unifying the entire continent, to dedicate it all to his true self.

As for that guy Gad, that self-proclaimed loyal bastard, Jin Tianming always felt he was just there to steal the credit. He, Jin Tianming, had his own pride and would never lose to Gad!
"Everyone, starting tomorrow, the Sun Moon Empire will no longer have any so-called 'royal family' or 'emperor'."

Jin Tianming spoke slowly, walking down from the high platform as he glanced at the trembling officials on the ground: "I originally planned to start this matter after the Soul Master Competition, but plans can't keep up with changes. Crown Prince Xu Tianran attacked me first, so I had no choice but to fight back."

He paused, then asked in return, "Do you think this is reasonable?"

The ministers: "..."

That makes sense, absolutely makes sense!
The crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire attempted to assassinate the strongest genius student in his country's academy, but the assassination failed, and he was instead killed by the opponent, losing even the throne.

The plot is so absurd that it's impossible to refute, yet you can't find any fault with it.

No one dared to stand up and object; everyone just knelt silently, not daring to even raise their heads.

"Therefore, from this day forward, Kong Deming will serve as the first leader of the Sun Moon Empire."

Upon hearing Jin Tianming's words, all the ministers present were dumbfounded.

They thought Jin Tianming would ambitiously declare, "From today onwards, the Sun and Moon Empire belongs to me," but who would have thought that he would give the position of "first leader" to Kong Deming?

What exactly is he up to? "Tianming, what do you mean by this?" Kong Deming looked at Jin Tianming with a puzzled expression.

He never said he wanted to be a leader; he was only focused on researching new level 10 soul tools and had no time to manage a country.

Jin Tianming had anticipated Kong Deming's objections and continued, "Mr. Kong Deming, please be patient. I will explain in detail once the others have all arrived."

Kong Deming nodded and said no more, but his gaze couldn't help but fall on several ministers with a scrutinizing look.

The atmosphere in the hall instantly fell silent. No one dared to speak, and the only sound was the breathing of the crowd.

Not long after, a group of people walked in quickly. The leader was Orange, followed by the commanders of each division.

Upon seeing this group of people appear, all the ministers couldn't help but gasp: the fact that the division commanders had gathered here meant that Jin Tianming had already consolidated control over all the armies of the Sun Moon Empire!
"Now everyone's here." Jin Tianming looked at Ju Zi standing to the side and said directly to her, "Ju Zi, come up here."

"what?"

Orange paused for a moment, and although she was a little confused, she still followed his instructions and walked up to the platform.

Jin Tianming has always valued talent, and Ju Zi's ability and methods have indeed impressed him. Apart from her martial soul and talent being somewhat ordinary, her abilities in other aspects are terrifying.

The ministers below were puzzled: Why summon Ju Zi at this time? In their perception, this woman's strength was not particularly outstanding.

“As a level ten soul master, Leader Kong needs to focus on researching new level ten soul tools for the country, so he naturally doesn’t have time to deal with the country’s trivial affairs.” Jin Tianming slowly explained, “Therefore, I have decided to appoint this Miss Orange as the deputy leader of the Sun Moon Empire to handle these daily trivial matters.”

"I object!"

No sooner had Jin Tianming finished speaking than a minister suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Your Excellency! Is it not inappropriate to let a woman handle state affairs?"

"I don't see anything wrong with it. Do you have a problem with that?" Jin Tianming glanced coldly at the minister.

Since he dared to choose Orange, he naturally acknowledged her abilities. "Or do you have a more suitable candidate to recommend? Or... are you actually a spy planted by the Star Luo Empire?"

Upon hearing this, the official was first taken aback, then his face changed drastically. He hurriedly knelt down and repeatedly protested, "My lord! I was just offering my opinion casually; you cannot slander me!"

"Yuhao, bring the things up!"

Seeing that this guy wouldn't admit defeat until he was faced with a fatal mistake, Jin Tianming directly gave instructions to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao immediately took out a thick stack of documents from his storage soul tool and handed them to Jin Tianming.

Now, as the "chosen one," he harbors a deep-seated hatred for the Star Luo Empire. Over the years, he has been secretly gathering intelligence and information on traitors within the Star Luo Empire, and the evidence in his hands is already more than sufficient.

Jin Tianming took the documents, casually tossed them in front of the official, and said coldly, "Take a good look yourself. Am I slandering you, or have you been deceiving all of us all along?"

Seeing the documents scattered on the ground, the minister's eyes instantly filled with panic. His lips trembled, and he stammered, "My lord... this... this is all a frame-up! I am utterly loyal to the Star... ugh! I am utterly loyal to the Sun and Moon Empire!"

The ministers: "..."

"Yuhao, let's do it."

Seeing that the other party was already terrified out of their wits, Jin Tianming lost interest in continuing the argument and gave the order directly.

Huo Yuhao instantly took out his soul tool and aimed it at the minister.

The official, no longer feigning resignation, suddenly stood up, his face contorted in a ferocious roar: "Since you all want me dead, then I'll take you all with me!"
