The peerless Tang Sect’s true body is respected

Chapter 234 Chapter 231. Undercurrent

"Are you all ready?" The middle-aged man with regular features and no anger asked in an indifferent tone to the respectful man in black robe in front of him.

"Reporting to the leader, everything is ready, and the deputy leader will also come to the competition site in person during the finals." The man in black robe said respectfully.

"Very good, Second Elder, then I will leave the entire black market competition to you. You must collect more rare metals for our Holy Religion." The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction.

"Go down."

"Yes."

These two people are naturally Zhong Liwu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect, and Nangong Wan, the second elder of the Holy Spirit Sect.

In this Soul Fighting Competition, Xu Tianran used the excuse of "he doesn't like gambling" to explicitly ban all kinds of gambling in the Soul Fighting Competition. However, after all, this competition is a grand event that brings together many powerful people from the Douluo Continent. Opportunities to make money are everywhere.

In the original book, the Mingdu Underground Black Market Soul Master Competition, which was held together with the Soul Fighting Competition, was still held as usual.

This is not only an opportunity for the royal family to make money, but also an opportunity for their Holy Spirit Church to make money.

No one has too much time for strategic materials like rare metals. The Xishui Alliance under the Holy Spirit Cult is one of the three organizers of the Soul Master Competition in the underground black market.

Zhong Liwu has naturally been paying attention to this matter. As the leader of the church, he is not like Ye Xishui who can basically act as a hands-off shopkeeper. Many decisions of the Holy Spirit Sect need to be made by him.

It is hard to imagine that as the leader of an evil soul master sect like the Holy Spirit Sect, Zhong Liwu does not have the annoying aura of other evil soul masters on the surface. Without using his martial soul, he is more like A dignified middle-aged man in a high-ranking position.

Only his short silver-white hair and his vicissitudes of life with a slightly sinister look in his eyes could prove that this man was not as ordinary as he looked.

"The war must be about to begin. Ha, Xu Tianran, on the surface, worships me as his teacher and respects me as the national teacher of the Sun and Moon Empire, but in fact he doesn't want to use the power of my Holy Spirit Sect to contain the power of the Douluo Three Kingdoms. Or." Zhong Liwu sneered, thinking back on Xu Tianran's erratic attitude towards himself during this period, he felt indifferent in his heart.

Xu Tianran's attitude naturally changed after the destruction of Shrek Academy.

For the Sun and Moon Empire, the biggest obstacle to the unification of the continent is naturally Shrek Academy. As the former number one academy in the mainland, Shrek is as powerful as the clouds. In the war on the continent four thousand years ago, Shrek led Douluo Three Kingdoms, the defeated Empire of the Sun and Moon.

Xu Tianran was too afraid of Shrek.

Only then did he frantically choose to cooperate with the evil soul master, trying to use the power of the evil soul master to fight against the strong men of Shrek Academy.

But now that Shrek Academy has been destroyed, and the biggest obstacle to the Sun-Moon Empire's unification of the continent has been eliminated, the existence of the Holy Spirit Cult is very dazzling.

Xu Tianran was ambitious. Having lost his dignity as a man, besides power, what he valued most was fame. What he hoped most was for the Sun and Moon Empire to unify the continent under his rule.

In this way, he can have his name written on the most glorious page in the history book.

He is no longer even interested in women. It is obvious that he is interested in power and fame, so how can he be willing to bear the infamy of cooperating with the evil soul master?

At first, he had no choice but to rely on the power of the Holy Spirit Cult, but now it is no longer necessary. Xu Tianran was naturally thinking of ways to get rid of the cancer of the Holy Spirit Cult.

After all, in Xu Tianran's eyes, the entire Douluo Continent in the future will be his territory.

He would not allow an evil soul master to exist in his territory.

Zhong Liwu is so sophisticated. Not only did he understand Xu Tianran's wishful thinking when Xu Tianran first approached him, but he also understood Xu Tianran's intentions as soon as the news of Shrek's destruction reached his ears. What an attitude.

But he didn't care.

Xu Tianran was planning how to eradicate the Holy Spirit Cult. Why wasn't he, Zhong Liwu, planning to let Xu Tianran unify the continent and replace Xu Tianran to make the Holy Spirit Cult the supreme being in Douluo Continent?

"Fight, fight! The more people die, the stronger the Holy Spirit Sect will be!"

"It's just a kid with a yellow mouth. When you were thinking about how to use our Holy Spirit Sect, why didn't our Holy Spirit Sect have any plans to let you make a wedding dress for our Holy Sect?" "Hahahaha..."

I'm afraid Xu Tianran couldn't figure it out even if he thought about it. The headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult is located deep in the Demon Forest. With the help of the Demon Emperor, he even reached a cooperation with the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord!

From the beginning, it was impossible for Xu Tianran to completely eradicate the Holy Spirit Sect.

Zhong Liwu's guess was not wrong.

At this time, Xu Tianran was in the Sun and Moon Palace, quietly looking at the secret report in his hand.

The information in the secret report was naturally about Meng Hongchen's contact with Du Qianjue. It also included some explicit exchanges between the two at the last Soul Fighting Competition.

It seems that Jing Hongchen is unwilling to be lonely...

Xu Tianran lowered his eyelids and raised a faint sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Although Jing Hongchen was forced to side with him due to the previous theft of Mingde Hall and the royal arsenal, Jing Hongchen did not try his best to help him, and he had many small thoughts in his heart.

How could Xu Tianran not study Jing Hongchen, an old fox?

Even Xu Tianran, the closest person to Orange, didn't fully believe it, let alone Jing Hongchen who was just forced to take sides.

His slender fingers gently tapped on the armrests of the chair. Xu Tianran's face was calm, with only some thoughts in his uncertain eyes.

The old emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire, his father, is dying and may die at any time. At this time, he is only exercising the rights of the emperor as regent.

Although no one dared to object, it was still somewhat inconvenient.

Especially for his subsequent big moves, he needs to have the power completely in his hands, so that he can safely launch a war against the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

Do you want to... find a chance to do it to him?

An imperceptible killing intent flashed through Xu Tianran's lowered eyes. He had almost no emotion for his father. Even if he were asked to put the knife into his father's chest, Xu Tianran probably wouldn't. Hesitate for a second.

There is quite a sense of Liu Bang's "cooking my father and giving me a portion of the soup" style of a filial son.

Soon, Xu Tianran made his decision.

It would definitely be inconvenient to kill the old emperor during the start of the competition. After all, the eyes of the entire continent are now focused on Mingdu, so there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents.

After the competition is over, he can consider freeing his father. He has occupied the throne for so long, and it is time to hand it over...

"My dear father, you are too conservative and not enterprising enough. If you continue to stay on the throne, it will only hinder the development of the Sun and Moon Empire. For the eternal hegemony of the Sun and Moon Empire."

"My son, I can only ask you to die..."

The sunshine fell on Xu Tianran's body.

The golden dragon robe on his body seemed particularly rebellious, but when placed on him, it looked so harmonious.

The regent wore the golden dragon robe that represented the emperor.

Xu Tianran's ambition is well known to everyone.
