Douluo Continent II: You're an evil spirit master, but also a philanthropist?

Chapter 46 Who's judging whom?! Old Cheng: Get out!

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

Elder Cheng and Jing Hongchen, carrying level-nine flying soul artifacts on their backs, rose like meteors and hurriedly headed towards the location of the Royal Guard.

Cheng Baiqing, in particular, was operating at full power, with the operating load too high, and the jet nozzle was almost smoking.

Almost at the same time.

A booming sound could be heard throughout the entire capital.

"Mom, it's a shooting star!"

A child innocently pointed to the sky above, at the two fleeting beams of light.

The child's mother quickly slapped the hand away, "That's the Soul Master..."

……

Inside a royal palace.

In the magnificent hall, a man dressed in pure white clothes, looking nervous, paced back and forth.

"Why so slow!"

"A bunch of useless trash! Cheng Baiqing will probably get the news soon, and then it will implicate me!" Xu Jiran said through gritted teeth.

But he still didn't sever all ties, because deep down he still held a sliver of hope that these good-for-nothings could get some information out of him, or perhaps get his good brother to "confess" to the clues about his collusion with the Holy Spirit Cult.

If one of his two reliance points is removed, Cheng Baiqing alone will pose a much smaller threat to him.

While the Holy Spirit Cult isn't as infamous within the Sun Moon Empire as it is in the other three kingdoms, it's not much better. He only needs to bring this out into the open, and the number of people opposing Xu Cheng will increase exponentially. Then, he can reap the benefits...

"Hurry up! Xu Cheng's men should be here soon!"

Unable to hold back, Xu Jiran lowered his voice and angrily spoke into the soul communication device.

If Xu Mochen weren't one of his right-hand men, the son of Xu Wannian, who held power in the imperial clan and happened to be in charge of the royal guard, and whose six members were also quite capable and united, why would he have entrusted him with such an important task?

But all he received in response was silence...

"Xu Mochen, what the hell are you doing? You're not even replying to my messages!"

Xu Jiran flew into a rage, his voice unconsciously rising.

But the next moment.

A clear voice came through the communicator: "Hello, can you hear me?"

Xu Jiran's throat bobbed, and he froze on the spot, holding the communication soul tool in his hand.

"Fourth Brother, why are you so quiet? Keep talking, I'm listening..."

"Xu Cheng..."

Xu Jiran's face stiffened, and he squeezed out two words through gritted teeth.

"I'm here with Fourth Brother. What's up?"

"Okay, very good..."

Xu Jiran gritted his teeth, his body trembling uncontrollably. He knew that this probably meant Xu Cheng had taken control of the Royal Guard. No matter how he controlled them, it could only mean one thing... those useless bastards!

And then, having been caught red-handed, he will be at a disadvantage!

The voice on the other end carried a leisurely smile.

"Fourth Brother, I didn't expect you to care about me so much. You personally sent people to arrest me and take me to the Royal Inspectorate, and even made them torture me into confessing. Tsk tsk tsk. But what's the charge... colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult? You call that a charge?"

"It's alright, I'll come to your door myself and let you tell me what the hell your crime is..."

"Beep beep..."

The communicator beeped.

Xu Jiran's anger surged forth.

He slammed the communication device to the ground and then started smashing things around the hall. "A bunch of trash! They're not even worth keeping as dogs! And that Xu Cheng, he's a motherless bastard who dares to threaten me with a bunch of rats from the gutter! I'll fucking..."

……

"boom!"

The magnificent gates of the Royal Inspectorate were suddenly smashed open.

Metal shavings scattered in all directions.

Several figures also rushed in suddenly.

"Inside, in that interrogation room!"

Jing Hongchen's eyes lit up as he instantly sensed someone inside.

"Ah!~~"

But soon, a pitiful scream came from inside.

It was as if they were being tortured; their screams were so horrific that everyone who heard them felt as if they were there.

Old Master Cheng's face instantly darkened, and a powerful aura of a Title Douluo surged from his body, permeating the entire Royal Inspectorate. He gritted his teeth and roared, "So this is the Royal Inspectorate! Today, I will rid the people of this scoundrel and eliminate them!"

Jing Hongchen also had a serious expression, and the two of them arrived at the door of the interrogation room in the blink of an eye.

The gate of the bungalow shattered with a crash.

The two burst in instantly.

But once they saw the scene inside, they all slowly widened their eyes.

Xu Cheng was seen leisurely reclining in a chair, calmly directing An Ying in front of him to torture several members of the royal guard.

The royal guards, who should have been swaggering around, were instead tied to instruments of torture, crying and screaming. One of them, the second son, tied to the dragon pillar, was covered in blood and on the verge of death.

Jing Hongchen: "..."

Cheng Qingbai: "..."

Lin Jiayi, who had just arrived, also rushed in, panting. "What are you two standing there for? Hurry up..." As he spoke, his mouth slowly opened, staring in disbelief at the scene.

"Teacher, you've finally come! You must help me!"

Xu Cheng slid off the armchair and knelt down in front of Cheng Baiqing, grabbing his leg tightly.

"Continue." He casually turned to give a gesture to An Yin, who had also stopped moving, and then seamlessly continued to hug Cheng Baiqing's leg and cry his heart out.

"Teacher, you have no idea how badly I was injured here, how cruelly they treated me..."

Cheng Baiqing frowned and quickly used his mental energy to check Xu Cheng's entire body, but found no injuries. His lips twitched. "What about your injuries?"

"Um……"

Xu Cheng looked around at himself.

They only found a cut on the finger, which was accidentally cut when carving the core array. It had mostly healed, but there was still a white mark left...

Looking at Xu Cheng, who was speechless.

Both of them covered their faces.

"But don't worry, Xiao Cheng. Daring to arrest people in the open at the Royal Academy of the Sun Moon Empire shows they don't respect me, the head of the Mingde Hall and the dean of the academy. I will definitely seek justice for you!"

Jing Hongchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was still full of anger.

"It's good that you're alright! Although I'm old, I'm not so weak that I can't even lift a knife. How dare he touch my disciple? I'd like to see what he's made of!" Old Cheng patted Xu Cheng's head, feeling quite frightened. Fortunately, his disciple had a trump card; otherwise, the one being tortured now would probably be...

"Oh no, how is Eleventh Brother! Am I too late?! A bunch of damned bastards..."

Just as everyone was preparing to leave.

A voice rang out at an inopportune moment, then abruptly stopped.

"His Royal Highness..."

Jing Hongchen greeted him politely and then said nothing more.

Xu Cheng stepped out and glanced at the stunned Xu Tianran with surprise, "Your Highness's arrival is quite timely. Those people were inside, and they've basically all confessed..."

Old Master Cheng, already furious, glanced coldly at Xu Tianran and said, "Get out!"

Chapter 47 The So-Called Deer a Horse

Mingdu, imperial palace.

Inside the magnificent hall.

Nearly a hundred officials, both civil and military, lined up on both sides.

Civil officials are mostly responsible for governing the country, with the prime minister being the head of the civil officials. Military officials are mostly high-level soul masters, such as Xu Jiangnian, the head of the Royal Soul Master Corps stationed in the capital, a level nine soul master who does not participate in any court disputes and only serves the emperor. There is also Qing Zhi, the leader of the Royal Dragon Soul Master Corps, a level nine soul master.

Besides, the other three major Beast Soul Mentor Groups are all located on the border and cannot be gathered in a short period of time.

And it was right at the very front of the palace.

Two figures stood on the left and right.
