Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 285 Good stuff, it’s a waste if you don’t take it

"Your Highness the Regent..."

Wang Hu was horrified upon hearing this and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, "I am following your orders, I am innocent!"

Xu Tianran's eyes were frozen, and he didn't even look at him. There was even a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

But he just asked:

"What orders did I give?"

Wang Hu was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xu Tianran say, "I know you didn't do it on purpose, but if I don't kill you, it will be hard to appease the people. After you die, I will take care of your wife and children for you. You don't have to worry about anything anymore. Go with peace of mind - come here!"

Xue Chen slowly walked out of the darkness and stared at Wang Hu expressionlessly. Then Xu Tianran gave the order, "Go ahead."

Wang Hu was shocked, but before he could let go of the shock, Xue Chen seemed to turn into a black shadow and passed by him, and then...

There's no after that.

A bleeding head was held in the hand of Shadow Douluo Xuechen, and the open eyes showed that the dead man died with his eyes open.

Seeing this scene, the official who had been prostrating himself did not even bother to wipe the blood splattered on his body, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

In response, Xu Tianran simply glanced at the official.

"You know what to do next."

Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger!

The thought flashed through his mind for only a moment, and the official immediately kowtowed and said, "Your Highness, I understand. I understand everything."

If you don't understand, then Wang Hu is a lesson for you.

"get out."

Xu Tianran's tone was calm yet mixed with anger, which frightened the official so much that he rolled and stumbled out of the door.

Almost as soon as the official walked away, "You go and hand over the body to them, and then have someone come in and clean up this place."

"Yes."

After a while, the blood in the hall was cleaned up.

Xu Tianran sat steadily in the wheelchair with his eyes closed. He no longer had the rage he had before and could be said to be extremely calm.

Just then, he suddenly spoke.

"Mr. Zhongli, I have done what I should do. Now it is up to you to give me a perfect answer."

"Jiejiejie——"

As the laughter sounded, Zhongli Wu quietly appeared. "Your Highness, what you are doing is just helping yourself."

Xu Tianran opened his eyes and looked directly at Zhongli Wu. Although he was facing a level 98 evil spirit master, he did not show any fear.

"Mr. Zhongli is right."

There was a slight stalemate, and it seemed that Xu Tianran was the first to give in. He smiled warmly, "For our common interests, I will have to trouble the disciples of the Holy Church next."

Zhongli Wu did not respond, but just nodded slightly.

Then, it disappeared without a trace.

Xu Tianran was the only one left in the huge hall, with the back half of his body shrouded in darkness and the front half exposed to the light of the soul guide lamp, making it impossible to see the expression on his face.

But later, when the prince wanted to replace his wheelchair, a maid discovered that the armrest of the wheelchair seemed to be crushed.

The competition continued for the next few days, but a wave of public opinion about "expelling the Holy Spirit Church" was set off, with many sayings such as "the empire is stupid" and "colluding with evil soul masters", which engulfed the people.

However, this huge public opinion storm lasted only less than a day and came to an end.

Because the Sun-Moon Empire officials responded to this matter very quickly - "Official Wang Hu colluded with the evil soul master of the Holy Spirit Church, and now he was beheaded as a warning to others. But since the Holy Spirit Church has already participated in the competition, according to the rules, only the teams that violated the competition regulations and were eliminated can be expelled, and the Holy Spirit Church is not among them. So even if the Holy Spirit Church is a sect of evil soul masters, it cannot be forced to withdraw from the competition without reason, which will damage the reputation of the Sun-Moon Empire. The Sun-Moon Empire also promises here: During the competition, the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church will not harm the interests of the people. If there are any violations, they will be punished!"

And since this was the home turf of the Sun-Moon Empire, public opinion quietly shifted toward the Sun-Moon Empire.

On the contrary, during this period, many spies and detectives from the three former Douluo empires were caught by the Sun-Moon Empire and many were captured.

So in the end, only the major participating teams of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms continued to protest against the Holy Spirit Church. But it was obvious that they could not coerce the people of Sun and Moon. With the strength of the Sun and Moon Empire, this matter could only end in vain, just like the resistance to the competition system.

"Xu Tianran has such a cruel heart!"

In a street in Mingdu, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh.

"He is a ruthless man. It is precisely because of his ruthless heart that he was able to become the crown prince and achieve great things despite being a disabled person."

Chen Junting had anticipated this situation.

After all, how could Xu Tianran give up his plan when the problem could be solved by just sending someone to take the blame?

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Chen Junting looked at Huo Yuhao and asked.

"How's it going? Do you have any clues?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, “It’s been too short. There is no news yet. But I did hear one thing.”

"Oh? Since you mentioned it, it must be something special."

Seeing Chen Junting's interest, Huo Yuhao told him everything he had learned. "I heard that the three largest underground black markets in Mingdu are planning to use the opportunity of the Continental Youth High-level Spirit Master Elite Competition to organize an underground competition. The rewards for the competition are very generous, one of which is rare metals. According to rumors, the final champion can even get a ninth-level spirit guide device."

"You want to participate?"

Chen Junting didn't know much about this game.

All I know is that the final reward is indeed generous. It seems to be a ninth-level soul guide device created by "Ye Yulin", a ninth-level soul guide who is comparable to Jing Hongchen, and is called "Sun and Moon Needle".

"Yes."

Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with an idea. "With such a generous reward, it would be a shame not to participate. I am confident that with my soul skills, I can definitely deceive those people. Moreover, the underground competition is held at night, so it will not affect the competition. Moreover, there is a lot of information in the underground black market, and perhaps we can find out what we want. In addition, I am a soul mentor. This is also a good opportunity to test my own abilities and learn a lot from my peers."

"Brother Jun Ting, this underground competition kills two birds with one stone."

"Since you have decided, go ahead."

Chen Junting naturally had no reason to object. Moreover, in his opinion, winning the championship was not a problem for Huo Yuhao. In that case, they would just make a profit from the "Sun and Moon Divine Needle".

Good stuff is worth taking.

"Yes."

Seeing Huo Yuhao agree immediately, Chen Junting nodded slightly and paid attention to the time, but his brows couldn't help frowning.

Because now it was past their rendezvous time, but there was no sign of Gu Tianchen showing up. This made Chen Junting subconsciously realize that something was wrong, and he wanted to set out to look for him.

"Something serious has happened."

A door to the void suddenly opened beside the two of them.
