Mingdu, Sun and Moon Palace, Prince's Palace.

Xu Tianran was sitting in the antique study room, looking through the papers on the table with a frosty expression. He did not hide his sinister aura in the absence of outsiders.

Orange stood behind him in awe, not daring to make any noise to disturb him.

After a while, a command came from outside the Prince's Palace, and a spy quietly walked into the main hall of the Prince's Palace. Xu Tianran didn't speak, so Orange went to respond with understanding. A quarter of an hour later, he returned to Xu Tianran's side again.

Xu Tianran said coldly: "Is there any news about the Imperial Master?"

Juzi answered truthfully: "There is still no news about the Imperial Master, and according to the secret investigation below, the Qingse Hotel and other industries under the Xishui Alliance have no senior executives in charge, and the troubles caused by outsiders have not been resolved in time."

"Both the Ordinary League and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce are ready to take advantage of the opportunity to annex the Xishui League's industries."

She speculated with some hesitation: "Maybe... the Holy Spirit Cult really disappeared overnight."

The national master mentioned by the two people is Zhong Liwu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect.

Xu Tianran's eyes became dark.

Since the end of the Soul Master Competition, Zhong Liwu brought him the news of the failure to capture the sect team, and proposed that the Holy Spirit Sect should retreat from the world again to temporarily avoid the sharpness of the Beidi Douluo, and the cooperation with the prince had to be interrupted.

.

Since then, Xu Tianran has never seen Zhong Liwu again.

The Holy Spirit Cult acted decisively and almost completely left Mingdu in just a few days, leaving behind all the Xishui Alliance's huge industry and only taking away the money and other valuable resources they could.

The prince's heart suddenly became extremely heavy.

How powerful is the Holy Spirit Sect? It is a top force with two Extreme Douluo.

Although they are extremely evil, their strength cannot be underestimated, otherwise Xu Tianran would not cooperate with them under huge moral pressure.

But such a force, because of one person's attack, chose to temporarily avoid the spotlight and retreat into hiding. So how terrifying must the strength of the Beidi Douluo who targeted them be?

The viciousness in Xu Tianran's eyes gradually disappeared. After careful consideration, he asked: "Orange, do you think it is a benefit or disadvantage for us that the Holy Spirit Sect gives up cooperation and retreats into seclusion?"

After Tang Zi pondered for a moment, he said: "Your Highness, I think the advantages actually outweigh the disadvantages."

"Tell me your reasons." Xu Tianran nodded slightly, and Orange's answer hit him right.

Seeing that Xu Tianran's mood had calmed down, Juzi began to analyze: "The departure of the Holy Spirit Cult has indeed caused your Highness to lose many powerful people to help you, but it is by no means necessary."

"Even excluding the Holy Spirit Cult, the number of powerful men who obey your command is still far greater than that of other princes, and you also control most of the military power in Mingdu. Without the help of the Holy Spirit Cult, your status in the palace will not be affected."

Xu Tianran nodded slightly, naturally he could see the pros and cons.

Orange continued: "However, if the Holy Spirit Cult exists, it will bring a lot of trouble to Your Highness. Because of your cooperation with the evil soul master, Your Highness has been under a lot of pressure."

"And you have also seen that the forces of evil soul masters have made many enemies on the mainland, such as the mysterious Beidi Douluo. If we continue to cooperate with the Holy Spirit Religion, I am afraid that we will also get burned and incur the hostility of the Beidi Douluo.

.”

Orange's tone was filled with lingering fear.

A powerful Ultimate Douluo with extreme attributes must be the number one person in the continent today. No one is willing to bear his wrath.

According to reports from subordinates who investigated, even Elder Kong was moved by the scene a few days ago when the Beidi Douluo single-handedly shocked the entire Holy Spirit Sect.

Xu Tianran nodded slowly.

The Holy Spirit Church chose to withdraw voluntarily, thus saving him the trouble of righteous cutting.

Orange continued: "Your Highness, you can tell Mingdu next that you were bewitched by the Holy Spirit Cult, listen to their pleas, and believe that they were actually born as ordinary soul masters, but they were misunderstood by the world because of the mutation of their martial souls.

Because of discrimination, we gather together and want to prove to the world that we are no different from ordinary soul masters."

"Out of temporary kindness, you gave them a chance to prove themselves in this competition, but they gradually exposed their minions and their own evil nature, and you finally saw through their true colors."

"Now, you can publicly draw a clear line with them and denounce these evil evil soul masters. Your Majesty is about to enthrone. Isn't this a great opportunity to shape your image as a wise king?"

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Xu Tianran's mouth, and he couldn't help but nodded.

When people are unhappy, they always want to hear more good words. The secluded world of the Holy Spirit Sect is also of great use value to him.

He is an opportunist who is extremely good at taking advantage of every opportunity. By cooperating with the Holy Spirit Religion, he can take advantage of the powerful people of the Holy Spirit Religion, and by severing cooperation with the Holy Spirit Religion, he can also use this matter to build momentum for himself.

However, only Orange has always been able to see through his thoughts and say good things that suit his wishes.

Orange continued: "Furthermore, when the Holy Spirit Cult leaves Mingdu, it will not be able to take away the huge industries under the Xishui Alliance. The value of these industries is not small. If your highness can accept it smoothly, it will also be a valuable resource."

Xu Tianran laughed more and more heartily as he listened to Juzi's explanation of the benefits of the disappearance of the Holy Spirit Cult.

"Orange, you are right. Cooperating with the Holy Spirit Religion is actually not a wise move. The evil soul master will be killed by everyone in the end, and I don't need their help at all."

Not long ago, he planned to use the Holy Spirit Cult to fight against the top powerhouses of the Three Kingdoms and Shrek, but now he has begun to denounce the evil soul masters again.

Xu Tianran is not a person who changes his words overnight, he just always makes the best choice for himself.

He waved his hand and said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. The most important thing now is to prepare for the next Zen position and the heaven-sacrifice ceremony. The third and fifth brothers have nothing to fear."

Orange pretended not to care and asked: "After you succeed to the throne, how will you deal with His Highness the Third and His Highness the Fifth?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Tianran, who had returned to calmness, suddenly sharpened his eyes, and the killing intent in his eyes made Orange shudder.

Orange's delicate body trembled, and before Xu Tianran could speak, he already knew his intention from his momentum.

Xu Tianran slightly put away his murderous intention and said indifferently: "In the years since my legs were injured, my third brother has always coveted the position of prince that does not belong to him, and has secretly made many obstacles to you and me. Wait.

Naturally, I will not neglect him when I succeed to the throne."

Orange smiled bitterly in her heart, but she was not surprised at all. She knew Xu Tianran very well. His vindictiveness and viciousness had become stronger since he lost his legs, and the second prince died tragically in his hands.

She suspected that if it weren't for the attention of the old emperor and Kong Deming in recent years, Xu Tianran would even directly attack his other brothers, and there would be no fight for the throne.

Just as Juzi was thinking, Xu Tianran suddenly said: "Juzi, after I truly succeed to the throne, you will no longer be the crown princess, but the empress, the empress of the Sun and Moon Empire."

"I will immediately prepare for a full-scale war. Within ten years, I will definitely start a war with the three countries of the mainland. I will let the light of the sun and the moon shine on the mainland and return the mainland to the name of the sun and the moon."

"At that time, I will also give you the power to take revenge, allowing you to cut off the enemy's head with your own hands."

Orange's eyes widened slightly, and then he happily saluted and thanked: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Xu Tianran waved his hand again: "There is no need to say thank you between you and me. You are the only person I trust the most. Once you gain enough prestige in the military department, I will hand over all the military power of Sun and Moon to you.

"

Orange Beitha bit her lower lip, and her heart trembled. All these years of loyalty were finally going to pay off. Soon, she would be able to gain enough power and have the power to avenge the Star Luo Empire and the White Tiger Duke.

Everything she has done over the years has been for revenge.

Xu Tianran smiled and said: "Okay, Orange, it's time to assign you a task."

"Please give me your instructions, Your Highness," Orange said hurriedly.

"Take over all the properties of the Xishui League for me, don't let the Ordinary League and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce get there first."

"yes."

The outer edge of the Demonic Forest is the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult.

At this moment, many people who are busy are carrying large amounts of materials out of the ground, stacking them in the open space, and then putting them into the storage soul guide.

There are thousands of people busy moving and storing supplies, and the value of those supplies is inestimable. Gold soul coins, rare metals, heavenly materials and earthly treasures...the Holy Spirit Cult's foundation is all spread out, and it is not inferior to thousands.

Shrek Academy has a history of 10 years.

These materials were collected during the thousands of years since the Holy Spirit Church was established, and the source of most of the materials was stained with blood.

Busy people are without exception evil soul masters, and their cultivation levels are generally not high.

In the air, several powerful auras are gathering together. Looking down, they are the only remaining senior leaders of the Holy Spirit Religion.

Zhong Liwu looked down with some sadness and asked the woman in red beside him: "Mother, do we really want to leave the Sun and Moon Empire like this?"

Ye Xishui suppressed the grief and anger in her heart and said coldly: "Of course it's not leaving the entire Sun and Moon Empire, it's just evacuating Mingdu. The stronghold of the Demonic Forest is still there, but it is no longer our headquarters. The headquarters will be moved to Douling

Empire, we will eventually make a comeback one day."

The Douling Empire is the weakest among all countries, and she plans to move the Holy Spirit Religion to the Douling Empire to temporarily avoid the edge.

The Holy Spirit Cult suffered too great a loss. Not only did more than a dozen titled Douluo-level elders die to serve as the deputy leader, but the middle-level leaders also suffered a lot of damage. Their vitality was severely damaged and it would take more than a hundred years for them to recover.

Even if there are two Extreme Douluo in Long Ye, without enough middle and high-level people, the Holy Spirit Cult would not dare to appear. What's more, Long Ye is already very old, and there is a Beidi Douluo outside who is eyeing him.

Ye Xishui's heart was bleeding.

The evil soul master's training speed is very fast in the early and middle stages, but it is more difficult to reach the Title Douluo and Super Douluo levels.

Her expression was ferocious, and red light filled the air behind her, exuding a strong smell of blood.

"Xishui..." Long Xiaoyao looked at Ye Xishui who was gritting his teeth and sighed deeply.

Ye Xishui no longer had Long Xiaoyao in his eyes, he could only see the Beidi Douluo who had severely damaged the Holy Spirit Sect.

Strong soul power fluctuations emerged, and a spherical soul guide core appeared in front of Ye Xishui.

Long Xiaoyao's expression changed slightly. This was the core array of the Death Tower, the ninth-level soul guide. It needed to be charged with soul power. If the absorbed soul power was strong enough, it would be able to advance to the tenth-level soul guide.

"Xishui, do you want to..." Long Xiaoyao had already guessed her intention.

Ye Xishui said angrily: "I don't believe that he can withstand the power of the Death God's soul guide!"

Long Xiaoyao said: "Xishui, do you really think the Death Soul Guide can hurt him?"
