Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao, the villain from a parallel world

His identity was exposed in public on the first day of school, and even his proud memories of his past life were repeatedly lost.

The mere absence of He Caitou is no longer a matter of concern to her.

Her only goal now is to meet Huo Yuhao at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

No matter what happens, no matter where he is now, as long as he is still on this continent, he will definitely participate in that competition.

In their past lives, they fought side-by-side there, battling their way to the finals and ultimately lifting the championship trophy.

Once she gets to the competition, she'll definitely find him, and no matter what, she'll reconnect with him and bring everything back on track.

"I can definitely do it!" Tang Wutong was absolutely determined.

Chapter 121 Xu Tianran's Discovery

Mingdu, inside the imperial palace.

Xu Tianran sat in his wheelchair, gazing at the sunset outside the window.

A faint smile graced his face, not the fake smile he had shown before, but a genuine, heartfelt smile.

Since choosing to cooperate deeply with the Holy Spirit Cult, his situation in the Sun Moon Empire has undergone a dramatic change.

Previously, court officials who would either walk around him or not pay much attention to his greetings when they saw him now treat him with utmost respect.

The Eastern Palace, which was once completely ignored, now receives frequent visits.

Even the most arrogant veterans in the army showed him, the crown prince, a degree of respect.

All these changes occurred after the collaboration with the Holy Spirit Church.

The Holy Spirit Cult's influence in the Sun Moon Empire's court far exceeded Xu Tianran's imagination.

Only when he truly became an ally of the Holy Spirit Cult did he deeply realize just how enormous this organization of evil soul masters really was.

The Holy Spirit Cult had spies and agents among the civil and military officials in the court, officers of all ranks in the military, and even eunuchs and palace maids in the imperial palace.

While these forces are not entirely under his command now, he can still mobilize them at certain times.

The only reward the Holy Spirit Church needs is the title of a state religion.

Xu Tianran believes that exchanging an empty promise for his current status is a very worthwhile deal.

Xu Tianran didn't care what happened after the Sun Moon Empire; he was focused on the present.

If he doesn't cooperate with the Holy Spirit Cult, he will never have a chance to rise to prominence.

This evil spirit master organization poses a threat, and we will not have the ability to counter it until he becomes the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire.

Xu Tianran leaned back in his wheelchair, gently tapping the armrests, his heart filled with boundless pride.

He believes that his long-held dream has finally become a possibility.

Previously, he was just a useless crown prince with crippled legs, destined to be replaced by someone else.

Moreover, his infertility was no longer a secret among the upper echelons of the Sun Moon Empire.

The old foxes in the court were polite to him on the surface, but behind his back they had already placed their bets on other members of the royal family.

As for why it wasn't another prince?

After Xu Tianran became disabled in both legs, his personality became extremely crazy. He discovered that his legs were disabled because other princes were plotting to seize the throne.

He then had the prince executed by slow slicing in the palace.

The other princes, out of fear of him, all requested permission from the emperor to go to their own fiefdoms, and basically no princes stayed in the palace.

But now, all of that is in the past.

With the help of the Holy Spirit Church, those who previously paid lip service to him are now forced to consider the consequences of deceiving him.

He had already gained a certain degree of influence in the imperial court.

Although it is still a long way from taking control of the court, this is a very good start.

“However, this is far from enough.” Xu Tianran’s smile faded, and the desire in his eyes was hard to conceal.

Because what he wanted was never just the title of Crown Prince, nor the pitiful voice in the court.

What he wanted was the throne, the supreme power of the entire Sun Moon Empire.

Moreover, he not only wanted the throne, but also wanted to do something that no emperor in history had ever done.

He intends to launch another war, completely annihilate the three kingdoms of Tianhun, Xingluo, and Douling, and bring the entire Douluo Continent under the control of the Sun Moon Empire.

To establish an unprecedentedly vast empire spanning two continents.

By then, no one will remember that he was disabled in both legs, nor will anyone remember that he was infertile.

History books will only write that Xu Tianran was the emperor who unified the continent.

"But there are still many stumbling blocks in my way!"

Thinking of this, a murderous glint flashed in Xu Tianran's eyes.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Xu Tianran suppressed the murderous intent in his eyes and said, "Come in."

Immediately afterwards, a servant pushed open the study door, came to Xu Tianran's side, bowed respectfully, and then said, "Your Highness, these are today's letters."

Xu Tianran took the letter, then waved his hand, signaling the waiter to leave.

Xu Tianran opened the letter and scanned the paper with his eyes.

A look of surprise flashed across his eyes, then turned into a smile.

"I really didn't expect this unexpected gain." Xu Tianran slammed the letter on the table, his smile impossible to hide.

The contents of the letter were not complicated; it was sent back by the people he had sent to investigate Huo Yuhao.

Xu Tianran has held a grudge ever since Huo Yuhao directly rejected his invitation last time.

A twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, relying on Kong Deming's protection, didn't even respect him.

Xu Tianran, whose mind was already twisted, naturally wouldn't let Huo Yuhao off the hook.

After that, he kept sending people to find out Huo Yuhao's background.

He searched high and low but found nothing useful. Unexpectedly, the intelligence sent back today gave him a pleasant surprise.

Not long after the incident in the western suburbs, a new female student enrolled at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, recommended by Huo Yuhao.

This female student had been attending classes alongside Kong Deming since enrolling, and her registered martial spirit was of the Light attribute.

The moment Xu Tianran saw this message, a bold association came to mind.

Following the incident in the western suburbs, Huo Yuhao's recommendation, the Light attribute, and Kong Deming's personal arrangement, these clues, when pieced together, all point to only one conclusion.

The Holy Spirit Cult had been searching high and low in Mingdu for the Holy Angel Martial Soul, only to discover that it was hiding in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

"No wonder the Holy Spirit Cult sent so many people out to search, but they couldn't find it no matter what they did," Xu Tianran muttered to himself with a cold laugh.

"The darkest place is right under their noses. The hardest place to investigate in the entire Mingdu is the academy right under their own noses."

His intention in sending people to investigate Huo Yuhao this time was not to help the Holy Spirit Cult find someone.

He simply wanted to find something to hold against Huo Yuhao and see if there was any way to deal with this ungrateful brat.

Unexpectedly, this accidental discovery uncovered the very prey that the Holy Spirit Cult desired most.

Xu Tianran is determined to kill Huo Yuhao.

Because Huo Yuhao is a genius, and he refused his offer to join him.

In Xu Tianran's mind, a genius who cannot be used by him will sooner or later become a weapon in someone else's hands.

Especially since Huo Yuhao has Kong Deming behind him, and is closely related to the energy-charging soul tool, a technology that is capable of changing the landscape of the continent.

If someone like that were to stand against him in the future, it would definitely be a huge problem.

He had been struggling with how to solve this problem.

After all, Huo Yuhao was Kong Deming's grand-disciple, and Kong Deming was the Grand Imperial Scholar, someone who could speak with authority in front of the emperor.

It would be almost impossible for a crown prince with little real power to touch Kong Deming's people.

But now, he has a knife in his hand.

If this news is told to the Holy Spirit Cult, the Holy Spirit Cult will definitely take action to capture that Holy Angel Soul Master.

At that time, Huo Yuhao will inevitably be implicated as well.

Xu Tianran picked up the letter on the table, read the lines about Ye Guyi again, then slowly folded the letter and brought it close to the candlelight.

The letter was quickly set on fire, and the paper turned to ashes in the flames.

“If the Holy Spirit Cult takes action, even if they find out it was me who delivered the message, who would dare to question me?”

Xu Tianran leaned back in his chair, a cold smile on his face.

He was already planning his next move.

Huo Yuhao and Ye Guyi usually stay in the academy. The academy is Kong Deming's territory, and even the Holy Spirit Cult doesn't dare to make a move there.

Therefore, they must be lured out to a place where the college has no jurisdiction and Kong Deming has no time to intervene.

The moment they step out of the academy's gates, the Holy Spirit Cult can take action.

When the person dies, even if someone suspects him, he can deny everything.

Xu Tianran slammed his hand heavily on his chair.

The next second, the study door was pushed open, and the waiter walked in.

"Go tell Alliance Leader Nangong that the person he is looking for is at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

Xu Tianran's voice returned to its usual gentle tone: "As for who it is, let him come to me, and I'll tell him in person."

.........................................................

Inside the cafeteria of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Huo Yuhao and Ye Guyi sat facing each other at a table in the corner, each with a simple lunch in front of them.

The cafeteria was bustling with people, creating a lively and noisy atmosphere.

The two of them sat in the corner, looking no different from the other trainees, and few people noticed them.
