Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

"What did you write on the note you left behind?"

Outside Mingdu, Jing Hongchen and Mingjiang were heading towards Shrek Academy.

Having already decided to go to Shrek Academy, Jing Hongchen didn't hesitate too much and chose to leave directly.

Moreover, Mingjiang captured Queen Orange in his house. If he doesn't leave under these circumstances, Xu Tianran will probably skin him alive!
Mingjiang raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "You wrote something that would enrage Xu Tianran."

Jing Hongchen's eyes narrowed for a moment, but then he relaxed.

He no longer cared about Xu Tianran's situation; once he arrived at Shrek Academy, he would focus on researching soul tools.

Once my cultivation level breaks through to level 95, I will attempt to reach the level 10 Soul Master.

Even without Jiang Ming's protection, the grandfather and grandson will definitely be able to live well at Shrek Academy.

As for power and such, he no longer thought about it.

Sometimes, the more you think, the more you lose.

Of course, even if he went to Shrek Academy, he would not be an enemy of the Sun Moon Empire. This was his bottom line as a citizen of the Sun Moon Empire!
This was something that had already been discussed with Mingjiang.

Mingjiang was perfectly capable of agreeing to Jing Hongchen's request.

All he wanted was for Jing Hongchen to leave Mingdu and the Sun and Moon Empire.

This way, at least he can ensure that when he takes action against Xu Tianran later, Xu Tianran will not threaten him with the Hongchen family.

As for making Jing Hongchen an enemy of the Sun Moon Empire, he didn't need Jing Hongchen to do that; he could do it all by himself.

Mingjiang picked up a soul tool box that looked like a cage, glanced at the imprisoned Ju Zi inside, and found that the other party had already woken up.

Instead of making a scene, Ju Zi looked at Ming Jiang with very calm eyes.

"Jiang Ming, it's useless for you to arrest me. You can't threaten His Majesty with me!"

She didn't panic. Since Jiang Ming didn't kill her directly in Mingdu, but instead imprisoned her in this soul tool, it meant that Jiang Ming didn't want to kill her, at least not now.

Hearing Ju Zi's words, Ming Jiang slightly raised the soul tool in his hand, looked at Ju Zi inside, and said softly:
“I have no intention of using you to threaten Xu Tianran, nor do I have any need to threaten Xu Tianran.”

Indeed, he really had no intention of using oranges to threaten Xu Tianran.

Firstly, even though Ju Zi is the Empress and Xu Tianran's savior, it's not very likely that she can be used to threaten him.

Secondly, he really had no need to threaten Xu Tianran with oranges.

Threat? Wouldn't it be better for him to just storm into the palace and kill them?

He just wanted Xu Tianran to experience what it felt like to be betrayed and abandoned by everyone.

He had already recruited Jing Hongchen to Shrek Academy, and he had also captured Empress Ju Zi. Xu Tianran's emotions were probably at a loss right now.

Especially the note he left behind; it would probably be no problem for Xu to suffer a cerebral hemorrhage.

'I've taken your queen with me. I'll return her to you when she's no longer needed.'

This statement is somewhat ambiguous; it depends on how Xu Tianran interprets it.

When was the Empress Orange no longer useful?
When Xu Tianran died!
Ju Zi's military talent is indeed very strong, but without Xu Tianran's support, even a skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice.

If Xu Tianran dies and another member of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family succeeds him, who would appoint Ju Zi, the former empress, without starting a war?
That's what it means to return something when you no longer need it.

But would Xu Tianran think that way?
Obviously not.

Xu Tianran hated Jiang Ming so much!

His subconscious mind would speculate that Jiang Ming was heading in an extremely evil direction, and then he would constantly imagine what kind of inhumane treatment the orange would suffer in Jiang Ming's hands!

Even though he can't see it, this blank space is even more unsettling.

Because he himself would constantly deduce all sorts of possibilities in his mind, all sorts of bad possibilities!

As for the good possibilities
Given the relationship between Xu Tianran and Jiang Ming, will things turn out well if the Empress falls into Jiang Ming's hands?
Could it be that he thought Jiang Ming was taking the oranges to Shrek Academy to enjoy a life of luxury?

Obviously it is impossible.

And this is exactly the effect Jiang Ming wanted!
Torment!

Recruiting Jing Hongchen to Shrek Academy was already a provocation to Xu Tianran. Even though Jing Hongchen had become a peripheral member of Xu Tianran's core group over the years, he was still a member of the core group!

Moreover, Jing Hongchen is, after all, a peak level nine Soul Master, ranking among the top five or even top three Soul Masters in the Sun Moon Empire.

For Xu Tianran, having such a person poached is not only a huge loss, but also a severe humiliation!

Ju Zi sat inside the spatial soul tool, looking at Ming Jiang with a furrowed brow.

"If you're not going to use me to threaten His Majesty, then why did you arrest me?"

In her opinion, if Jiang Ming didn't need to threaten Xu Tianran, he should have just killed her. There was no need to go through the trouble of putting her in a spatial soul tool and taking her away!
Mingjiang glanced at Ju Zi and laughed, "What, do you want to die?"

Orange didn't say anything.

She clearly didn't want to die if she could; she had so many things she wanted to do.

Mingjiang said softly, "Don't worry, I won't kill you for now. Once we get to Shrek Academy, as long as you don't cause trouble, I can even guarantee your safety. But if you do something naughty, don't blame me for being impolite."

He felt he should remind Orange to prevent her from causing trouble once she arrived at Shrek Academy.

After saying that, Mingjiang flipped his hand and put away the spatial soul tool.

He's just an avatar, which is why he needs a spatial soul tool. If it were the real person, he could just throw him into the small world.

At this moment, Jing Hongchen said in a deep voice:

"The oranges are very important to Xu Tianran. If you take the oranges, Xu Tianran will probably go crazy."

Mingjiang smiled and said, "That's exactly what I wanted. If he doesn't go crazy, I won't arrest this empress. There's a saying, 'To destroy a person, first make them mad!'"

The two chatted as they made their way toward Shrek Academy. It would be almost impossible for an ordinary person to escape, as the borders of the Sun Moon Empire were already under martial law.

But for Mingjiang and Jing Hongchen, leaving was not difficult at all. They even found Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen along the way.

The group gathered together and, in a very short time, secretly crossed the border of the Sun Moon Empire. After that, they traveled smoothly and arrived near Shrek City.

Looking at Shrek City, which he had visited several times and was quite familiar with, and Shrek Academy next to it, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but sigh.

When he first came to Shrek Academy, he really didn't expect that he, the head of Mingde Hall and the dean of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, would actually join Shrek Academy!
All I can say is that fate is playing tricks on us!
Meanwhile, as Mingjiang and his group returned to Shrek Academy, in the capital of the Sun Moon Empire...

Inside the palace, when Xu Tianran received the note from the trembling hands of the Imperial Guard Commander and read its contents, his previously calm expression suddenly erupted with an incredibly terrifying aura!

boom!
Almost instantly, the Imperial Guard Commander, a Title Douluo and a Level 9 Soul Master, was caught off guard and blasted away!
Nine spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—rose rapidly from under the wheelchair, their raging and violent aura instantly sweeping across the entire palace.

Xu Tianran possesses the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, one of the inherited martial souls of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family, while the other inherited martial soul of the Sun Moon Empire is the Sun.

Compared to the Sun Martial Soul, Xu Tianran's Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul is characterized by destruction and devastation, making it an extremely powerful offensive martial soul!
Relying on royal resources and his own talent, Xu Tianran cultivated to the level of a Title Douluo.

This kind of martial soul, which inherently contains the power of destruction and devastation, will have a great impact on the martial soul owner.

Some Soul Masters are able to gradually control the ferocity within their Martial Soul during the cultivation process, but Xu Tianran, who is missing both legs, obviously finds it difficult to suppress this ferocity from his Martial Soul.

Because of his disability in both legs, his personality was already tainted with violence. Coupled with the infighting within the royal family, his violence only increased after he became emperor.

A few years ago, he could still restrain himself and not let this violent aura overwhelm his reason, but with the constant struggle with Jiang Ming, he was almost losing control.

The suppressed violence gradually spiraled out of control after Jiang Ming said he would kill him within a year.

Xu Tianran could clearly sense this, so he kept suppressing it.

With Orange by his side, he was able to barely suppress some of it.

Even so, he has killed countless people in recent years due to his increasingly out-of-control violence.

Ever since Jiang Ming made those harsh remarks through Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming, Xu Tianran has had very little normal sleep these past few months.

Every time he falls asleep, he has nightmares in which Jiang Ming constantly targets him and tries to kill him!

In his dream, he died many times!
And every time, they died a horrible death!

That dream felt incredibly real for some reason, making him feel like he couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams.

Fortunately, he was a Title Douluo, and he was able to suppress these feelings by force.

But when the plan to launch a surprise attack on the Douling Empire failed, Ye Yulin, one of the pillars of the nation, perished in Lingdou City; when Kong Deming, the Hall Master of the Imperial Hall on whom he had placed his hopes, was thwarted in Qingshui City, and even discussed soul tools with Jiang Ming, he was suspected of treason; when the Tianhun Empire reaped his rewards and annexed the Douling Empire to become the Tiandou Empire; when Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, the brother and sister, were kidnapped from the Imperial Hall; when the court of the Sun Moon Empire opposed the series of war policies he formulated;

And when Jing Hongchen disappeared, and Empress Ju Zi was also captured, Xu Tianran was on the verge of collapse when all these pieces of news came together!
One piece of news could not break Xu Tianran, this once-powerful figure.

But when a series of messages came in, all from his key figures and from plans he had painstakingly devised, one after another went wrong and was shattered, Xu Tianran, the ambitious hero who had the grand vision of unifying the continent and renaming Douluo Continent as Sun and Moon Continent, was truly on the verge of collapse.

Jiang Ming did not directly attack Xu Tianran, but this mental torture was far more devastating than physical pain!
The note in Xu Tianran's hand had disappeared at some point; under the violent and destructive fluctuations of soul power, the note was instantly reduced to ashes.

But the words on the note were like a nightmare, deeply etched in Xu Tianran's mind, and no matter what he did, he could not erase them.

His mind even began to imagine what would happen if the oranges fell into the hands of that bastard Jiang Ming!
He knew Jiang Ming's situation; he had conducted a very detailed investigation into Jiang Ming.

He knew that Jiang Ming had more than one wife and that Jiang Ming was a lecherous devil. As an enemy, he subconsciously imagined Jiang Ming in the worst possible light.

And this worst-case scenario is also the one that will make him the most angry!

A person knows best what makes them angry.

That's something subconscious.

Even if you know it's something you don't want to see, you can't help but think about it, and you might even think about it in great detail and comprehensively.

Once you enter this state, it's a terrible blow to your emotions.

Because in this state, a person will enter into a frenzy of internal conflict, with anger constantly accumulating until it reaches a peak!
Right now, Xu Tianran's subconscious is constantly generating images and information in his mind that make him incredibly angry.

This ever-increasing anger was constantly intensifying and unleashing the extreme violence he had been suppressing deep inside! This violence was continuously pushing Xu Tianran into an abyss!
This is scary.

"His Majesty!"

The commander of the Imperial Guard was, after all, a level nine Soul Master. He was not injured when he was knocked away by the sudden release of soul power by Xu Tianran.

He quickly returned to Xu Tianran, wanting to persuade her.

But when he looked at Xu Tianran, he found that Xu Tianran's eyes had been swallowed by a blood-red color that was so thick it was almost black!
Those eyes, formed by countless blood vessels, made him, a ninth-level Soul Master and a Title Douluo, tremble with fear at just one glance!
"Jiang Ming."

"Jiang Ming."

"Jiang Ming!"

"Jiang Ming!!"

"Jiang Ming!!!"

Xu Tianran called out Jiang Ming's name five times in a row, each time louder, more hysterical, and more frantic than the last!
"Somebody come!"

Xu Tianran shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, I am here!"

The commander of the Imperial Guard knelt on one knee.

"Issue my order to recall the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps, the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps, the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps, and the Terror Claw Soul Master Corps!"

"Notify all academies and sects within the Sun Moon Empire to provide manpower and resources! Anyone who disobeys will be annihilated!"

"Send word to all ninth-level Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire: all of you must come to Mingdu within a week! Anyone who fails to come will have their life taken!"

Upon hearing these orders, the commander of the Imperial Guard was startled.

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

Xu Tianran's bloodshot eyes were filled with murderous intent: "I will destroy Shrek Academy! I will kill Jiang Ming! At all costs!" (End of Chapter)
