Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 671 You've Come to Save People
One day ago, in the main hall of the Prince of Yan's mansion in Mingdu.

The plaque outside the hall bears three large characters: "Yan Gong Tang," followed by a line of smaller characters: "Written and bestowed upon Prince Yan, Xu Jingyu, on a certain date."

Inside the hall, on two rows of ebony and gold-burled nanmu chairs, sat three men dressed in bright red robes adorned with coin-patterned pythons.

If the Shrek Seven Devils were here, they would be surprised to find that the three people sitting in the palace bear a striking resemblance to Xu Tianran.

"Prince Yan, colluding with the maternal relatives and mobilizing troops without authorization is a capital offense. Our eldest brother has already seized the opportunity and had the fifth prince skinned alive right inside his palace!"

Just then, one of the men, who was wearing a bright red robe with a coin and a python pattern and was somewhat overweight, wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and nervously looked at the fourth prince of Yan, who was sitting at the head of the table.

"Of course I know about this. Do I need you to remind me?"

Just then, the Prince of Yan, sitting at the head of the table, spoke up, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "So I only asked you to contact those marriage alliances first, hold back, and wait and see how things develop."

"What you want to transfer is just one Soul Master Corps, but I will transfer two Soul Master Corps. If things go wrong, I, along with my two uncles, will not escape. Our fate will be even worse than that of King Zhou."

The King of Zhou mentioned by the King of Yan was naturally the fifth prince who had once plotted to assassinate Xu Tianran, but was ultimately executed by slow slicing in his palace by Xu Tianran himself.

"Alright, King Qin, say no more. If Xu Tianran is really so impatient to assassinate Father, this is the best opportunity for the three of us brothers to show our abilities."

Another tall man, also dressed in a python robe that only a king could wear, spoke up, his tone resolute: "Xu Tianran went too far, executing the fifth prince, colluding with evil soul masters, and bloodily suppressing the vassal kings of various regions."

“We princes who are around the same age as Xu Tianran are directly placed under house arrest by Xu Tianran in Mingdu, unable to come or go, and have become lambs to the slaughter.”

"He could easily frame us and execute us at any time if he wanted to. The only reason he hasn't done so is that he is still the regent and hasn't inherited the throne yet."

The Prince of Yan nodded and said, "That's exactly what I'm worried about. How can we believe that someone like him will let us brothers go after Father Emperor passes away and he inherits the throne?"

"He would rather believe that he is making good use of those evil soul masters than give us, his brothers who are as close to him as blood brothers, any military power. He treats us like thieves and has even sealed off the entire Mingdu these past few days, and has even deployed level nine fixed artillery shells."

"If we don't prepare now, and if the Soul Master Corps he has prepared is really here to kill you, me, and Father, won't we become fish on a chopping board, at their mercy?"

The three princes present at this moment were Xu Tianran's greatest political enemies: the second prince, Prince Qin; the third prince, Prince Jin; and the fourth prince, Prince Yan. The maternal relatives behind the three princes were all quite powerful, and Xu Tianran himself had large fiefdoms in the northwest and southeast of Mingdu.

It was precisely for this reason that after rumors spread that Xu Tianran's blockade of Mingdu was actually a sign of disloyalty, the three princes immediately gathered together, partly to protect themselves and partly to see if there was an opportunity to bring down Xu Tianran, the eunuch crown prince.

Upon hearing this, the King of Qin took a deep breath, which calmed him down somewhat, and he wiped the large beads of sweat from his chubby face.

"That would be best. If Xu Tianran is really only here to deal with Shrek Academy and the other three kingdoms, then we'll pretend we never came here or contacted the Soul Master Corps outside Mingdu. Let's just pretend nothing happened."

"Back then, when I plotted against Xu Tianran, the note I wrote was intercepted by the Crown Prince before it even left the palace. He sent the note back, threatening me that if I did it again, he would turn me into a stewed chicken in a clay pot. If it weren't for my life, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess with you." "We will just wait and see."

The King of Yan glanced at his second brother, the King of Qin, with a cold smile and disdain in his eyes.

Given Xu Tianran's methods and his infiltration of the Qin Prince's Mansion, his trip had already been recorded. They had no chance to waver in their rebellion.

An hour ago, outside the palace.

At this moment, the Shrek Academy led by Zhang Lexuan, the Star Luo Empire led by Xu Jiujiu, and the Heavenly Soul and Body Sect members led by Vina had gathered not far from the palace.

"In about an incense stick's time, it will be time for the Imperial Household Department staff to return to the palace. Yuhao has already used his superhuman mental detection to help everyone figure out the rotation schedules for all departments in the palace."

"Now we have a detailed map of the palace, a clear rotation schedule for all the departments within the palace, and the mirage shell of the Colorful Scale Mystic Light Mirage that Chen Ping lent us. This is enough to disguise our dozen or so people as five or six people from the Imperial Household Department and blend in with the crowd."

"Although this thing cannot block the detection of the remote soul power fluctuation detector, with the help of the mirage power, we can completely cover the screen with a normal mirage before the detector detects us, thus blocking the real detection results."

"Once we enter the palace, we will disguise ourselves as people from the Imperial Kitchen and get as close as possible to the Emperor's bedchamber. If we are discovered at this point, we will push him forward until we reach the Emperor."

After Zhang Lexuan finished speaking, she slowly looked around at the dozen or so Title Douluos present. Everyone nodded, except for Wang Xian'er, the Healer Douluo who had rushed over, who looked completely bewildered.

"So, I'm here to provide you all with medical care?"

This healer, Wang Xian'er, is a national treasure of the Star Luo Empire. She is known as the number one healing-type Soul Master in the world and is a super Douluo with a cultivation level of 95. Her martial soul is Healing Angel. She usually doesn't move around.

However, he received an urgent order two days ago and rushed from within the Star Luo Empire to reach this Ming capital, where entry and exit are restricted.

If he is not careful, this deputy head of the Star Luo Empire's Hall of Worship may end up like a lamb being led to the slaughter. He was doing well in the Star Luo Empire, but he insisted on coming here to die.

"of course not."

Xu Jiujiu quickly shook his head: "Grandma Wang, we urgently invited you here today to save people, but not to save us."

"Then who do you want to save? Manyi, who disappeared when you left the city?"

The person Wang Xian'er was referring to was none other than Grandma Manyi, Xu Jiujiu's personal protector, who was also known as Nebula.

"The person you are trying to save this time is none other than the old Emperor of the Sun and Moon, Xu Sixteen, who is lying in the palace."
