Chapter 242: The Storm in Mingdu (I)

I thought things would continue to develop according to the original plot, but who could have known that all the focus would now fall on Xu Tianran and Luo Yu.

Think about it from another angle, if Su Yu had chosen to stay in the Sun Moon Empire, would he be their target now?
The three empires have a sense of crisis, but not much...

This is something that cannot be explained, and there are great risks in doing so, but the short-term benefits are also extremely obvious.

If their plan succeeds, the Sun-Moon Empire will not attack the three empires again for at least a few decades. The dispute over the throne alone is a huge problem. A living example is the palace coup in the Sun-Moon Empire.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Tianran chose to clear all obstacles before taking office.

While Su Yu was thinking, He Caitou came over and asked quietly: "Su Yu, do you know something?"

He Caitou used a secret code that only the two of them knew. In front of Su Yu, He Caitou was unrestrained and wore no mask.

"Let's go. The competition will take some time. I know something. I found some clues a few days ago." Su Yu looked at He Caitou. Maybe sometimes, he really needed to tell him something.

After saying hello to everyone, Su Yu and Xu He left the competition venue.

In a nearby restaurant, Su Yu slowly said, "The old emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire doesn't have much time left. If you want revenge, you only have two choices. Either sneak into the Sun-Moon Palace and assassinate the old emperor. Or, wait until you are strong enough and assassinate the old emperor's offspring."

"How do you know?" Xu He asked.

Su Yu looked at Xu He and said, "The old emperor has always been in a bad state. This is something that all the high-ranking officials in the Sun Moon Empire know. Moreover, the old emperor has not attended court for several years and has handed over all government affairs to Xu Tianran, which shows that his condition is getting worse and worse. If it were you, would you hand over the power of the country to someone else?"

"No." A hint of murderous intent appeared in Xu He's eyes.

Whenever he mentioned the old emperor, the day of the palace coup would come to his mind.

That is a wound in his heart that will never be erased!

"You also know about the plans of the three empires, right?" Su Yu didn't know about the plans of the three empires because he hadn't asked about these things for a long time.

"I know. You can ask me anything you want to know." Xu He did not hide anything from Su Yu, and as the only candidate for the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan, Xu He could be said to be a local within Shrek.

"Will the action take place tonight or tomorrow night? If my guess is correct, it should be in the next few days. Those people must have an insider in the Sun-Moon Empire, otherwise they would not have made up their minds to take this action." Su Yu looked at Xu He, recalling their previous conversation.

Their plan was hasty, but the target was clear, and it was obvious that the plan was made on the spur of the moment.

"The action will be taken tomorrow night. What are your plans then?" Xu He clenched his fists silently. This was a great opportunity, but he was unable to take revenge because of his lack of strength.

“Although I don’t have the abnormal mental power of Huo Yuhao, I think once the turmoil breaks out, their focus will definitely not be on the old emperor’s bedroom. Let’s take advantage of the chaos and go to the Sun Moon Empire’s palace to take a look. You should also go back and take a look. After all, that is your original home.”

If there had not been the palace coup that year, Xu He would now be the Crown Prince of the Sun-Moon Empire. Perhaps he would also be a benevolent monarch, but for the three empires, this would not be a good thing.

Every high-ranking official of the Sun-Moon Empire has an indelible hatred for the three empires, and unparalleled expectations for the prosperity of the Sun-Moon Empire. To some extent, the Sun-Moon Empire is more like the protagonist, but it has the protagonist's script but not the protagonist's life.

Is this sad? No, it is just that the gods do not allow it.

Perhaps, one day, I will also fall at the last step before the finish line...

"But we can't enter the Sun and Moon Palace. It's been more than ten years, and everything there has changed..." Xu He had some hope and his eyes were cast in the direction of the Sun and Moon Palace.

"Just because we can't do it doesn't mean others can't. I have a very adventurous plan, but it's very risky. This is an extremely dangerous deal. Do you want to go?"

Everyone's target is Luo Yu, but no one would have thought that Su Yu would go to the palace of the Sun and Moon Empire.

"what do you mean……"

Xu He had a bad premonition in his heart. His intuition told him that if he went, this journey would not be peaceful.

"Almost. Don't forget what your former identity was. If you want, if our plan succeeds this time and Mingdu falls, as the orphan of the previous emperor, you can inherit the throne of the crown prince openly. Of course, this is just my assumption."

Xu He will not inherit everything from the Sun-Moon Empire because he has long been disappointed with the Sun-Moon Empire.

Crown Prince Xu He had died long ago since that palace coup.

Xu He asked the question he wanted to ask, "Tell me about your plans?"

"Reveal your identity to Xu Tianran, go to the Sun and Moon Palace, kill the old emperor, and let Xu Tianran take the throne in advance. Although the old emperor's time is running out, he can still rely on a lot of elixirs to keep on breathing. As long as the old emperor is alive, Xu Tianran will not be able to take the throne, and he will not be able to control more power because he is not the emperor. This is a very risky plan, and there is only one chance. Do you want to go?"

This is a risky plan, but there are many possibilities for change.

The defense of the Sun and Moon Palace is no worse than that of Mingde Hall. It is simply impossible to sneak in. The only possibility is to cooperate with Xu Tianran and conspire to get rid of the old emperor.

Xu Tianran is not a good person, and it is impossible to get away with it unscathed if you cooperate with him.

However, as long as he meets Xu Tianran, everything will be fine, because, don't forget, Su Yu still has Yi Lao with him.

"Think about it carefully. You only have one chance. If you miss this one, the next chance will be when the three empires and the Sun-Moon Empire go to war."

After leaving this sentence, Su Yu disappeared from Xu He's sight.

There is only one chance, if you miss it, it will never come again...

The battle between Wang Qiuer and Luo Yu on the competition stage was also coming to an end. Both sides did not choose to fight to the death, so this battle was not too brutal.

Luo Yu looked at Wang Qiuer and said slowly: "Are you still not admitting defeat?"

Luo Yu, dressed in blood-red armor, looked down at Wang Qiuer like a devil. Drops of blood were still dripping from the soul-guided sword in his hand.

The damaged armor and the embarrassed Wang Qiuer, both of them were in a state of about the same, but Luo Yu consumed less soul power than Wang Qiuer. At this moment, Wang Qiuer's face was a little pale, and the veil was shot down by Luo Yu's soul guide ray during the battle with Luo Yu. That peerless face with blood was exposed to the air without any scruples.

Wang Qiuer in front of them made everyone think of the scene five years ago. Didn’t the goddess bathed in light look like this?

"I will not admit defeat, absolutely!" Wang Qiuer clenched the golden dragon spear in her hand, and her eyes bloomed with the majesty of the dragon clan.

Tomorrow is hanging high in the sky, and her body seems to be cast in gold, shining brightly under the scorching sun!

"Then I'm sorry, your team competition is the same, you are bound to lose!"

The soul guide armor on Luo Yu's chest slowly separated, revealing a blue energy core. In an instant, a large amount of soul power gathered towards the blue core at that moment, and a dark ball of light continued to take shape.

Looking at the black ball of light, the Imperial Master sitting next to Crown Prince Xu Tianran crushed the armrest of his chair. If it weren't for this guy...

The golden dragon was roaring, and a ball of light like a black hole was expanding.

The two of them are like two giant dragons, one is a golden dragon full of supreme majesty, and the other is a bloody dragon full of murderous intent.

…………

At the end of the game, Wang Qiuer was unable to play in the team competition due to a serious injury, resulting in Shrek being swept by Luoyu and Hongchen.

This competition ended with the victory of the Sun-Moon Empire.

Shrek and Tangmen took second and third place respectively.

Who could have imagined that a thousand years later, the three empires would be swept away by the Sun-Moon Empire and win the championship of the competition.

At the same time, they thought of the former Shrek student. If he had participated in this competition, would he be able to achieve a stunning reversal in the finals just like he did?

The past events are still vivid in their minds, but now a new era is opening before their eyes...

…………

"Why, that guy would come to me on his own initiative?" Xu Tianran frowned and looked at the letter handed over by the hall master.

After reading the letter, Xu Tianran's expression changed slightly, and he slowly said, "I understand. I will handle the rest myself."

After sending Luo Yu away, Xu Tianran felt a little excited. The fish that had escaped the net that year finally surfaced. Who knew that the stray dog ​​would dare to come back.

However, the conditions proposed by Su Yu were very tempting. This was a cooperation that would take advantage of a tiger, and it was worth considering whether to proceed.

For Xu Tianran, this cooperation can allow him to reach the pinnacle of power, or it can lead him to eternal damnation.

However, he would rather do it quietly. Since he could use someone else's help, why should he do it himself?

It is a taboo to join forces with outsiders to kill his father and seize power. Once it is disclosed, Xu Tianran will never be able to turn things around. But since the other party has already told him, he does not need to give any response.

Leaving traces is a big taboo, especially with someone like Su Yu.

After burning the letter, Xu Tianran looked at the defense map. His fingers brushed over the place where the palace was, and a faint smile emerged from the corner of his mouth.

…………

Sun and Moon Empire, Royal Palace.

The palace was brightly lit at night. Crown Prince Xu Tianran was reading a book in his study, with Juzi by his side.

"Juzi, do you want to visit Mingde Hall and see your former classmates? You were once a disciple of Mingde Hall." Xu Tianran suddenly raised his head and asked Juzi with a smile.

Juzi was stunned for a moment, then slowly said, "Your Highness, I'll let you go with me when you have time. Now let's take care of the government affairs first."

Xu Tianran smiled and said, "Don't worry, there will always be someone to take over the handling of government affairs. If you think about it carefully, if it weren't for the hall master, we wouldn't have won the competition so easily this time. I have to say, your junior brother really surprised me."

Orange suddenly wanted to say something, but held it back.

"What? Are you worried that I will become suspicious of him?" Xu Tianran saw through the doubts in her heart at a glance.

Juzi shook his head gently and said, "Your Highness, what are you talking about? Luoyu has been with you for a few years, and Your Highness has already regarded him as one of your own. Juzi is not worried about this, but..."

Xu Tianran waved his hand and said, "I know what you are talking about, but those things cannot be accomplished overnight."

"In terms of the development speed of soul guides, the three countries that originally belonged to Douluo Continent cannot catch up with us at all. Our national strength is far superior to theirs, but in terms of real strength, we can't defeat the three empires. We need the Holy Spirit Church, and the Holy Spirit Church also needs us. Before we can counter the Titled Douluo of the three empires, we can't do without them."

"Why haven't those three countries been committed to developing soul guides? It's not just because they lack rare metals, but more importantly because of their deep-rooted soul master concepts. The powerful profession of soul master already exists on Douluo Continent For too long, too long. A powerful soul master is a strategic existence for the country."

"In terms of the number of soul masters, we are far from being comparable to these three countries, especially in terms of high-end combat power. Just think about it, how many Titled Douluo are there in Shrek Academy alone? Perhaps, hundreds of years later, our Sun-Moon Empire will have accumulated enough soul guides and excellent soul guides to unify the continent, but I can't live that long. A real man should seize the day. I must conquer the entire continent during the days when I rule the empire."

Speaking of this, Xu Tianran's eyes were filled with enthusiasm.

This is Xu Tianran's wish, and also the voice of the successive emperors and most of the high-ranking officials of the Sun-Moon Empire.

"To do this, we need allies and the ability to fight against those spirit masters in terms of high-end combat power. With adequate preparation and layout, spirit masters are not afraid of spirit masters, and are even far superior to spirit masters in range combat. However, a ninth-level spirit master facing a real Title Douluo has almost no chance of winning in a sudden encounter. And every ninth-level spirit master is an invaluable asset to the empire. Therefore, I will not use them to deal with those spirit masters and Title Douluo. In this case, the best choice is to cooperate with the Holy Spirit Church."

"We have no other choice, because this is the only way we can go. So I believe in Luo Yu, and I also believe in the judgment of the hall master. Silver Moon Douluo's vision will not be wrong, and the vision of those ninth-level soul masters will not be wrong either!"
