Civilian Soul Masters in Douluo World

Chapter 223 Winning over
Davis appeared at the forefront of the army. The once masculine and domineering eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire now had resentment in his eyes and a hint of effeminacy in his voice.

This was clearly Tie Li's method!
A seemingly insignificant trick destroyed his very foundation!
Can a prince who cannot have children become the emperor of an empire?
But given Davis's ambition, he certainly wouldn't give up his fight for the throne.

Therefore, he must kill all those who know this secret.

He has secretly disposed of the instructor who led the Star Luo Royal Team.

He wasn't sure if Tie Li had done it on purpose, but regardless, he had to kill Tie Li. Whether it was to avenge himself or to keep the secret, Tie Li couldn't live.

He led his army to intercept Tieli on the only road ahead, with the aim of killing him.

"Oh? I'd like to see who's so bold as to kill someone from my Heavenly Dou Royal Academy right in front of me."

Dugu Bo's figure hovered in mid-air, and the powerful pressure from the titled Douluo fell on Davis.

He couldn't withstand the cultivation of a mere fourth-ring Soul Master and immediately fell off the carriage.

This army has over a thousand men, and only officers of the rank of squad leader or above are Soul Masters.

Even the general who commands this army is only a level 54 Soul King.

With Dugu Bo's methods, dealing with this army would be as simple as a cloud of poisonous fog, enough to wipe them out completely.

"So it was... Your Majesty Poison Douluo. We were too hasty."

As a Soul Master, he feared the Poison Douluo before him, whose poison was unparalleled, but he was also a general of the Star Luo Empire. His duty to protect the prince and the general allowed him to stand upright with difficulty.

"You'd better give me an explanation today."

Dugu Bo aimed his right palm at Davis and grabbed at the air. Davis felt a suffocating sensation as his body was bound by powerful soul force and slowly floated toward Dugu Bo.

Xu Li looked at the soldiers behind him. He was ready for battle. If the Crown Prince was killed, even if they returned to the Empire alive, they would not escape death.

One white, two yellow, and two purple—five spirit rings appeared beneath him; his martial spirit was the Flaming Spear that now appeared in his hand.

"Humph!"

Dugu Bo snorted coldly, and Xu Li immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, knelt on the ground, and became completely listless.

"Tell me about it!"

"I am the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire. Are you trying to start a war between our two countries by killing me?" Davis did not back down and tried to intimidate the Poison Douluo in front of him by using the Star Luo royal family.

"I am a guest of the royal family of the Heavenly Dou Empire. I cannot kill you, but I can make you wish you were dead." A cold killing intent flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes, causing his body to tremble.

I thought the Heaven Dou Royal Academy would only have a few Soul Emperor-level instructors, but I didn't expect that Dugu Bo, a Title Douluo, would be in the escort team.

At this moment, the three education commissioners, Meng Shenji, and Meng Shenji, also stepped out of the carriage.

As the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire, ambushing the Heaven Dou Royal Academy here would have a significant impact on him if word got out.

Especially now that Dai Mubai has the strength to compete with him for the throne, any negative impact could be magnified infinitely.

"Davis, you are the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire. What is your purpose in intercepting my Heaven Dou Royal Academy here?"

"I……"

Davis was momentarily at a loss for words.

"He's probably just upset about losing the match. Aside from that, our Heavenly Dou Royal Academy has no dealings with him whatsoever," Zhi Lin said.

"I never expected the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire to be so petty. After losing the match, he became enraged and ordered the imperial army to ambush us. Doesn't he understand the consequences? It's laughable. I will definitely report this to His Majesty," Bai Baoshan said angrily. Davis's forehead veins bulged. How could he not know the impact of such a thing?

“You are the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire. We will not kill you, but we are not sure if we will deliberately obstruct you after releasing you. So, please forgive us.”

The Dream God's soul power struck Davis's mind like a heavy hammer, causing him to fall into a coma.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo tossed Davis to Xu Li.

The general breathed a sigh of relief, bowed respectfully, and quickly left the area with Davis and his army.

The caravan continued on its way, and Dugu Bo went to the carriage where Tie Li was. He had just noticed something amiss with Davis.

"You did this? This won't do you any good. If he really inherits the throne in the future, you'll probably have no peace of mind."

"But he is not the Star Luo Emperor yet, and he dares not make this public. Once this secret is discovered, he will completely lose his right to inherit the throne."

As for his future succession to the throne, perhaps by then I will have become a Title Douluo.

"Is it related to the young lady from the Zhu family?" Dugu Bo guessed that something was amiss.

Tieli's silence has already answered the question.

Upon entering the territory of the Heavenly Dou Empire, an army came to meet them.

Their armor and battle flags were genuine Heaven Dou Empire troops.

The leader was Prince Avalanche.

Compared to his previous arrogance, he now possesses a more princely demeanor, displaying extraordinary bearing in every gesture.

Meng Shenji and the other two exchanged glances, very satisfied with the changes that had occurred in Prince Xue Beng.

After exchanging pleasantries with Dugu Bo and the three education commissioners, Xue Beng was undoubtedly more concerned about Tie Li.

He wanted to win over Tieli as much as possible. He was still young, and Tieli was also young. When he ascended the throne in the future, there would inevitably be a lot of turmoil around him. In the court, most of the officials were his father's old ministers.

When a new emperor ascends the throne, the first thing he usually does is gradually replace powerful ministers with his own ministers.

Most of the turmoil in the court stemmed from this, and it largely depended on how the new emperor handled it.

Unlike in the original timeline, when Xue Beng inherited the throne, the situation was extremely dire. If he had dared to touch the powerful ministers in the court, the already precarious situation would have quickly collapsed. All he could do then was maintain the status quo.

But things are different now. He has plenty of time, and the current situation is not bad. Everything he is doing now is paving the way for his future.

Winning over Tie Li, who may be promoted to a titled Douluo in the future, is his most pressing task right now.

Bringing Tie Li completely into the royal family's camp, granting him a position above all others, and making him a titled Douluo would greatly consolidate his rule.

It should be noted that apart from Dugu Bo, a guest minister, the Heaven Dou royal family does not have any titled Douluo.

"Thank you all for your hard work in this Soul Master Competition."

"Your Highness Avalanche is too kind, but it's a bit of a pity that this competition was lost," Bai Baoshan said.

In his opinion, if Tie Li had been with the home team from the beginning, he might have had a real chance to win the championship, especially with the change in the competition format. That sense of helplessness made him feel a deep sense of regret.
