Douluo Jueshi: Who made him a soul mentor?

Chapter 187: Taking Charge of the Sun Moon!

After Xu Jing personally witnessed the high-ranking officials of the Empire bowing and kneeling to Wang Chen to show their loyalty.

The rage in his chest erupted like a volcano. Endless fury surged into his heart.

Under the attack of rage on his heart, bright red blood spurted from Xu Jing's mouth.

Immediately after, Xu Jing's figure stumbled, his expression became dazed, his face instantly turned as pale as paper, then his vision went black, and he fell headfirst from the sky above Mingdu.

"Your Majesty!!"

"Oh no, Your Majesty has been angered unconscious!"

Upon seeing Xu Jing faint, two loyal, clean-shaven attendants immediately flew down and grabbed the falling Xu Jing from the sky.

Although the two eunuchs were rootless individuals, they were fiercely loyal to Xu Jing and did not change allegiances or turn to grovel before Wang Chen because of the changing situation.

The two attendants looked at Xu Jing with worried expressions, then one took out a spirit pill from his storage spirit tool and fed it into Xu Jing's mouth.

The other injected his spirit power into Xu Jing's body to help Xu Jing refine the pill.

The two attendants had extremely grim expressions. They were inseparable from Xu Jing and were very familiar with Xu Jing's physical condition.

Xu Jing's origin was severely damaged when he usurped power, and his health had deteriorated year by year.

He had been maintaining his health by taking medicine. Now, with rage attacking his heart and severe damage from anger, the situation was not optimistic.

He absolutely needed rest, otherwise, he might just pass away with a tilt of his head.

When Xu Jing was angered unconscious, Wang Chen and many Nine-level Soul Guidance who had pledged loyalty and surrendered to Wang Chen also shifted their gaze and looked towards Xu Jing.

Upon discovering that the Emperor had been angered unconscious, some Nine-level Soul Guidance lowered their heads awkwardly, clearly feeling ashamed of betraying Xu Jing.

Others had dark eyes, revealing a hint of killing intent in their gaze.

After all, they had already betrayed Xu Jing and defected to Wang Chen. Naturally, they were unwilling to let Xu Jing live, and they even planned to purge the Sun Moon Empire imperial family.

Otherwise, if something were to happen in the future and the imperial family made a comeback, these betrayers would absolutely face a terrible end.

Wang Chen looked at the unconscious Xu Jing, and a slight ripple appeared in his bright eyes, deep like the starry sky.

Xu Jing, who had previously made him cautious and even forced him to accept a marriage alliance lest his life be in danger, was now merely an ant to him, his very life and death depending solely on his whim.

He lives if he wills it, and dies if he wills it.

This change in status and position made Wang Chen's mood feel waves of pleasure, as refreshing as having a bottle of ice-cold happy water on a hot day.

As for Xu Jing and the Sun Moon Empire imperial family, Wang Chen naturally had no worries. They were too weak; he could annihilate them with a single slap and couldn't be harmed in the slightest.

As long as he wanted to act, with a sweep of his divine sense, not a single imperial relative could escape his grasp.

Of course, considering that the imperial Xu Family had ruled the Sun Moon Empire for too long and had too high prestige, simply eliminating them would have too great an impact, and the people throughout the Sun Moon Empire might fall into chaos.

Therefore, Wang Chen planned to first win over the high-ranking officials of the Sun Moon Empire and effectively rule the entire Sun Moon Empire.

Then, through strategies such as the upcoming war against the Douluo Three Kingdoms, he would enhance his own prestige and weaken the influence of the Xu Family.

Once he conquered Star Luo, Heaven Soul, and Dou Spirit Three Kingdoms and unified the World, the Black Book might be able to fully recover.

Wang Chen's status, power, and prestige would also be at their peak, unrivaled by anyone.

By then, he would deal with the Xu Family as needed, control them with soul contracts if necessary, and kill those who were ignorant.

If it were just Wang Chen himself, frankly, whether or not to deal with the Xu Family would be irrelevant and wouldn't affect him in the slightest.

But Wang Chen had to consider the members of the Wang Family and the powerhouses who had defected to him.

In the future, he was going to ascend to the God Realm, or even travel to other Worlds with the help of the Black Book.

If he didn't handle the Xu Family properly and eliminate this hidden danger, the members of the Wang Family might not be able to contend with the Xu Family.

It's possible that the members of the Wang Family and other powerhouses who defected to Wang Chen would suffer retaliation from the Xu Family.

At Wang Chen's position, he couldn't just think for himself. If he were to just leave without doing anything, who knows how many people would be harmed.

Wang Chen thought to himself, 'Before ascending to the God Realm and leaving Douluo Star, I must resolve all hidden dangers.'

'Also, the Wang Family needs to be significantly improved, and I should leave some means for the Wang Family to deter the continent.'

'Otherwise, if I ascend to the God Realm with my family and the ordinary members of the Wang Family lose the protection of powerhouses and aren't strong enough themselves, they will definitely suffer greatly.'

Wang Chen glanced at the unconscious Xu Jing twice, swept his divine sense, and saw Xu Jing's details clearly.

From his physical condition, Xu Jing didn't have many days left to live; at most a year before he would die of old age.

Then, Wang Chen turned his gaze towards Kong Deming and several Nine-level Soul Guidance who were from the Sun Moon imperial family.

These were the only ones who had not yet expressed their submission to him.

Wang Chen calmly said, "Teacher, are you going to oppose me?"

The Nine-level Soul Guidance who had already submitted to Wang Chen immediately stood behind Wang Chen and began persuading Kong Deming.

They had all received guidance from Kong Deming, so naturally, they couldn't let Kong Deming make the wrong choice.

After all, Wang Chen's strength was too terrifying, simply not something human power could contend with. Going against Wang Chen was purely seeking death.

Ye Yulin eagerly said, "Kong Lao, Wang Chen is invincible under heaven and truly deserves the title. Only under Wang Chen's rule can the Sun Moon Empire prosper and conquer the World!"

Luan Feng said, "Kong Lao, you are not surnamed Xu. The Sun Moon Empire imperial family has little to do with you, there's no need to stand with the imperial family."

Jing Hongchen said, "Kong Lao, I advise you, recognize the situation. Wang Chen is the one destined by heaven!"

"......."

Facing the words of Wang Chen and the many Nine-level Soul Guidance.

The two loyal attendants protected the unconscious Xu Jing, looking around with solemn and cautious expressions.

They both felt that no one was loyal, and everyone was going to betray Your Majesty.

Kong Deming looked at Wang Chen, his disciple, and sighed deeply.

He knew that the Sun Moon Empire imperial family was now at a critical moment of life and death. If things went wrong, the entire clan would be annihilated.

Although judging by the situation, Wang Chen didn't intend to kill them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used Space Imprisonment to restrain them, but Space Collapse to crush them.

However, being fine now didn't mean they would be fine in the future.

He was too clear about the cruelty of power struggles. Not to mention things far away, just look at the recent Xu Jing.

After seizing the throne and taking power, he killed his elder brother's wife, sons, daughters, trusted aides... everyone, leaving no one alive.

Now, Wang Chen's strength had surged, and he intended to override the Emperor and take charge of the Sun Moon Empire.

Then the Sun Moon Empire imperial family would inevitably become a thorn in Wang Chen's side, a literal thorn in his flesh.

What he needed to do now was to play the emotional card by leveraging his identity as Wang Chen's teacher.

And to represent the Sun Moon Empire imperial family in absolute submission to Wang Chen, fully cooperating with Wang Chen to dominate the Sun Moon and override the Emperor.

In any case, he had to do his utmost to make Wang Chen show mercy, not carry out a large-scale purge, and leave a way out for the imperial family.

Kong Deming still had some confidence in this. After all, the imperial family and Wang Chen had no hatred.

Furthermore, Wang Chen had married Princess Xu Tianzhen; everyone was related, so things could be discussed and negotiated properly.

Kong Deming said, "Chen'er, on behalf of the Sun Moon Empire imperial family, I promise that from now on, the Sun Moon Empire imperial family will honor you alone, obey your commands, and follow your every order!"

After speaking, Kong Deming, along with several Nine-level Soul Guidance who had Sun Moon imperial bloodlines, bowed to Wang Chen to show their submission.

At the same time, deep within Wang Chen's soul, the Black Book suddenly trembled, and the damaged areas quickly began to recover...
