Douluo Continent: The Butterfly, Starting from the Authority of Death

"You, you..."

A burly old man in a long robe carried a round, wheel-shaped soul-guiding device on his back.

At this moment, however, his eyes were bloodshot and his whole body was trembling with anger.

Jing Hongchen's shrill screams made people's eardrums ache, and made the 150-year-old Kong Deming clench his soul guide device, the Sun and Moon Holy Light Shield, even tighter.

How could a teacher not be enraged by his disciple's pitiful cries?

The two level-nine defensive soul tools he threw over, along with Jing Hongchen's Red Dust Protection, further enhanced his abilities.

Three level-nine soul tools couldn't even stop the attack.

"Wang Xian'er, stop!"

Kong Deming couldn't help but roar.

But this roar left many of the Soul Masters present stunned.

What?

The one fighting against the leader of Mingde Hall is Wang Xian'er from the Star Luo Empire.

Is that correct?

Seeing is believing, and not many people have actually met Wang Xian'er.

However, the title of the number one healer on the mainland is not a secret among high-level soul masters.

As an empire that has fought against the Star Luo Empire many times, the Sun Moon Empire is certainly familiar with the name Wang Xian'er.

But what followed was complete bewilderment.

Damn, the number one treatment in mainland China?

He beat Jing Hongchen like he was beating a dog.

You call this treatment?

First, take down the enemy, then pull your teammates back to heal them, right?

"Kong Deming, I'll give you face." Wang Xian'er waved her hand, and waves of mysterious aura spread out.

The cage built by life and death shatters, revealing the mortal world reflected in the prison.

Mirror Red Dust: His clothes were tattered, and there was not a single part of his body that was in good condition.

His breathing was disordered, like a candle flickering in the wind.

The protective mortal shield that guarded him, as well as the two level-nine defensive soul tools provided by Kong Deming, were covered with dense cracks.

"Bang bang bang"

The three defensive soul tools shattered, and the shattered metal rained down from the sky.

Kong Deming came to Jing Hongchen's side and used his soul tool to protect her, preventing her from falling from the sky.

"Teacher... teacher."

The mirror-like red dust was barely perceptible, as if it might fall at any moment.

"No, don't speak."

Jing Hongchen inputted his soul power to probe.

In an instant, a surge of fury erupted, like a volcanic eruption.

He stared intently at Wang Xian'er, his chest heaving.

"Your meridians are severed! How dare you!"

"Aren't you afraid you won't be able to leave Mingdu?"

Wang Xian'er is very strong, but it's not impossible for her to win over her opponent.

This is Mingdu, the largest city on the mainland.

"He laid a hand on my young lady, and not taking his life was already showing mercy."

"We have all the proper check-in formalities."

"What about the Mirror of the Mortal World?"

"He's been here for ten days, and look what he's done?"

"Disturbing someone's retreat for ten consecutive days."

"Or are you, Kong Deming, and Jing Hongchen, above the laws of the Sun Moon Empire?"

"You, you..."

Kong Deming nearly choked on his breath, and said fiercely:

"I can give you a spy identity. Don't forget, even if you leave the Star Luo Empire, how many soldiers of the Sun Moon Empire have you indirectly caused to die?"

Wang Xian'er never killed anyone from the Sun Moon Empire, but what about the Star Luo soldiers and Soul Masters she saved?

It's not unreasonable to attribute these things to Wang Xian'er.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, some of the Soul Masters who had been watching from the sidelines became unstable.

The hatred between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire has a long history.

"It's ridiculous that everyone serves their own master on the battlefield."

"Don't your younger generation also go to the Star Luo Empire to participate in the Soul Master Competition?"

"What has the Star Luo Empire done to you?"

Wang Xian'er suddenly smiled: "I know, the Sun Moon Empire has a lot of soul tools aimed at me right now."

"I might not even be able to escape."

"However, you're in the wrong here, aren't you?"

"Also, what does it mean that you didn't attack?"

"You..." Kong Deming trembled with anger, "But you've gone too far."

When Jing Hongchen came here to test the waters, it was obvious to most people that something was wrong.

The reason I didn't take action.

The Emperor of the Sun and Moon has spoken; Xu Tianran's legs still need Wang Xian'er's treatment.

The Sun Moon Empire also learned the general reason why Wang Xian'er had left the Star Luo Empire.

Even if she is unwilling to oppose the Star Luo Empire, she may still be able to recruit them.

This explains why, even when a large number of people were watching the battle, no one intervened.

"Old Wang!"

"Cough cough~"

The sudden cough wasn't loud, but it seemed to travel through the air and reach everyone's ears.

"Miss."

Wang Xian'er was startled and stopped paying attention to Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming.

She landed quickly on the villa.

Xia Die was pale and walked unsteadily.

It's obvious that something must have happened.

Otherwise, the situation wouldn't be this bad.

Everyone recalled the mist that had previously permeated the villa, and Wang Xian'er's mention of going into seclusion.

Perhaps the girl in front of us is the one controlling the fog.

"What happened?" Xia Die glanced at the sky.

That's right.

Wang Xian'er briefly recounted the details of the battle.

"So that's who attacked me!" Xia Die looked at Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming in the sky.

Just then, several figures came from a distance.

The young man in the center sat in a wheelchair, behind him was a girl pushing the wheelchair, who was none other than Ju Zi, and next to him was Xue Chen, whom he had met before.

Supported by Xuechen's soul power, they quickly arrived in front of Xiadie and Wang Xian'er.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Xia Die," the young man said.

"Are you the Crown Prince of Sun and Moon?" Xia Die tilted her head.

"Yes," Xu Tianran said apologetically, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Xia Die fell silent, and even Wang Xian'er, who was standing to the side, fell silent as well.

Xu Tianran apologized as soon as he arrived; there's definitely something wrong with that.

Xia Die remained calm and asked, "What brings Your Highness here?"

"We hope you can heal Master Hongchen."

quiet--

Xu Tianran's voice wasn't loud, but with powerful Soul Masters all around, who wouldn't hear him?

Kong Deming, too, stared blankly at Xu Tianran below.

"Your Highness, don't you think you're being presumptuous?" Xia Die's voice remained unchanged.

"Old Master Wang is in seclusion, and we are newcomers, so we don't want to cause any trouble."

"But the Master of the Red Dust Hall has gone too far."

"If it weren't for the soul tool my teacher left me to protect, I would have been caught off guard by that attack on the formation just now."

"I would be severely injured, and it wouldn't be surprising if I even died." Xia Die looked at Xu Tianran, who hadn't spoken, then paused, as if she had thought of something.

"I have heard that His Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated half a year ago and had a similar experience. I think you can understand my feelings a little."

Xu Tianran remained silent for a long time before nodding slightly: "I can understand. I'm very angry, really angry."

"Then why are you still here acting as a mediator? Isn't that presumptuous?" Xia Die retorted.

"Miss Xia Die, you still want to stay in the Sun Moon Empire, and the Red Dust Hall Master has not perished."

"Your Highness, is this a threat?" Xia Die's voice was indifferent, still devoid of emotion.

"No, I'm just stating the facts." Xu Tianran shook his head. "Letting go of others is also letting go of yourself."

"Pfft!" Xia Die chuckled. "Your Highness, do I need to tell you how you've managed to sit comfortably in the Crown Prince's position?"

"you……"

Xue Chen was about to step forward in anger when Xu Tianran stopped her.

"You and I are the same kind of people." Xu Tianran looked Xia Die up and down.

"No." Xia Die shook her head. "Excessive and ruthless behavior cannot bring sincerity, and may even backfire."

"Fine, I'll accept the favor of Your Highness for the two medicinal herbs, but I need a sincere apology later."

"no problem."

Xu Tianran nodded slightly.

"Old Wang, I'm begging you." Xia Die looked at Wang Xian'er.

"Phew—" Wang Xian'er sighed, "Okay."

Upon hearing Wang Xian'er and Xia Die's agreement, a smile appeared on Xu Tianran's face.

He shouted to the sky, "Master Kong, bring the Master of the Red Dust Hall over here."

Kong Deming remained silent, using his soul power and soul tool to take Jing Hongchen down.

He knew it was a setup, or even a setup from the very beginning.

What are the Emperor, the Crown Prince, Wang Xian'er, and Xia Die thinking?

He's an old man who doesn't want to deal with things anymore.
