Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 312: The quarterfinals begins, the beginning of turmoil
"Master, I think the plan can be launched now."

Xu Tianran leaned in the wheelchair with his eyes slightly narrowed.

The sun was still shining on him, making him look lazy.

However, even such warm sunshine could not dispel Xu Tianran's cold tone that contained infinite murderous intent.

"of course can."

Zhongli Wu stood behind him and nodded slightly.

"I wonder what Your Highness wants to do?"

"How to do?"

Xu Tianran opened his eyes, and they were full of brilliance. He stared at the sun without covering his eyes, not being burned by the scorching sun at all. "The sun is too strong, and the evil spirits will eventually be exposed. The night is better, and all kinds of demons and monsters can come out."

"understood."

The moon is dark and the wind kills the night.

At this time, a list was taken out of Xu Tianran's hand.

"This is a list of those stubborn guys. Since you are nobles, you must contribute to the future of the empire. Also, my brothers are on it, too, please send them off for me." A tear quietly slid down from the corner of his eye.

However, Zhongli Wu ignored the crocodile's tears and glanced at the "Book of Life and Death" in his hand. Whoever was crossed out would die.

"Who does His Royal Highness want us to disguise as?"

"Just don't overdo it."

Xu Tianran's tears disappeared immediately, replaced by indifference to this stack of lives. "As for the rest, I don't care how you do it. The people who come to investigate will be my people."

"besides…"

Xu Tianran moved his wheelchair and faced Zhongli Wu.

"I left some things from the three major empires with them. Xing Luo lost but still didn't leave. They deserve to be killed."

At this point, Xu Tianran sneered.

Although he had no idea what the Xing Luo Empire was planning, since he had already stayed, he might as well take the blame.

"correct."

At this moment, Xu Tianran suddenly thought of something.

"My fifth brother, leave it to me."

"Oh?" Zhongli Wu raised his head, looked at Xu Tianran and gave his own advice, "Has Your Highness suddenly become soft-hearted? You know, if you don't remove the roots, the spring breeze will blow deeper."

"My affairs do not need the intervention of the Grand Master."

Xu Tianran closed his eyes. "I just have the best relationship with the fifth brother. I plan to spend some time with him and send him off in person later."

"In that case, as your highness wishes."

Zhongli Wu put away the list, then waved his cloak and disappeared, leaving Xu Tianran alone, enjoying the sunshine.

But under his shadow, it seemed extremely dark.

……

Time passed quickly and the quarterfinals were about to begin.

It will only take one day for the top eight to finish, and then there will be two days of rest for the semi-finals. After the semi-finals, there will be another two days of rest before the finals. At that time, this competition will also be over.

The upper and lower halves of the quarterfinals and each team's opponents have already been selected based on the draw results of each captain.

The upper half: Shrek Academy, Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy, and one of the Soul Instructor Academies of the Sun Moon Empire; the lower half: Snow Demon Sect, Holy Spirit Church, Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and the remaining Soul Instructor Academies.

As for their respective opponents in the quarterfinals:

Shrek Academy VS Dio Soul Instructor Academy;
Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy VS Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy;
Snow Demon Sect VS Holy Spirit Religion;
Jiubao Liuli Sect VS Xundan Soul Instructor Academy.

As soon as this schedule was revealed, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy was challenged by a small group of people from Shrek Academy.

In the words of Shrek students, the luck of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy will never be so good again. If they don’t play a fake match with them in the semi-finals, their true colors will be exposed.

These words directly broke down Xiao Hongchen and the others' defenses.

But the problem is, they have nothing to say.

Because in the round-robin tournament, their first place in the group was given up by the Holy Spirit Church. Looking back now... it's a shame!
But no matter what they think, the quarterfinals are here as scheduled!

Early in the morning, the whole Mingdu became bustling.

Almost before daybreak, a large number of people had already poured out of the city gates in order to occupy a good position to watch the game.

In one day, the quarterfinals will be played. These four games are all strong duels.

If you miss one, you will regret it for the rest of your life!

Suddenly, the streets were crowded with people.

Although it was extremely important to know as much as possible about potential opponents in the quarterfinals, Chen Junting, Gu Tianchen, and Huo Yuhao from the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect did not appear to watch the morning game.

It’s not that they don’t take the competition seriously, but just last night, they learned an important news from the Ordinary Alliance.

As a result, the three of them can only conduct the investigation in the morning.

Fortunately, the morning competition had nothing to do with them. In addition, the most likely team to reach the finals was Shrek Academy, so Chen Junting and the other two did not pay too much attention and chose to go and investigate.

As for what exactly happened...

Last night, Qili Garden.

"What did you say?"

Chen Junting looked at Shangguan Weier with a frown.

Just now, after Huo Yuhao came back from participating in an underground competition, he told Chen Junting that something was wrong in the underground black market.

The most obvious thing is the turmoil in the Ordinary Alliance.

As if overnight, the Pingfan League was suddenly attacked by the joint forces of the Xishui League and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.

Realizing that something was wrong, Chen Junting went to Qili Garden in person and learned something from Shangguan Weiler.

The forces behind the Ordinary Alliance, namely the great nobles of the Sun Moon Empire, have withdrawn their hands and feet. The reason is that many nobles were suddenly slaughtered overnight.

This caused all the nobles to panic for a while.

I dare not show my head at all, for fear of being the next one to stick out.

This gave Xishui League and Aodu Chamber of Commerce an opportunity. The Pingfan League was now like a seriously injured fat deer. Although it could still stand up, it was not immune to being bitten by the two major forces.

Even the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, as an ally, would not miss such a godsend opportunity and did not act like an ally at all.

"This is really wrong."

Gu Tianchen stood beside Chen Junting and couldn't help but say.

"actually…"

At this moment, Shangguan Weier hesitated slightly.

But when she saw that Chen Junting and the other two had turned their gazes to her, she told them the rumors that the Pingfan League knew.

"According to rumors, the deaths of these nobles are related to you."

"us?"

The three of them were stunned when they heard this. Gu Tianchen even exchanged glances with Huo Yuhao and said bluntly, "If it was us who did it, how come we didn't know about it? This is pure slander."

Shangguan Wei'er curled her lips slightly and did not express any opinion.

In fact, she also knew that something was wrong.

If they really do this, would the people from the three empires be impure fools?

If we really want to take action, we should go to the palace.

Chen Junting pondered for a moment and suddenly asked.

"Do you know the details of these nobles?"

"Know something."

Shangguan Weier took out the list she had prepared long ago, "Those dead nobles were either the forces behind my Ordinary Alliance, or they were regular customers who frequently came to our Qili Garden to consume."

Chen Junting flipped through the list, finally stopping at a few pages.

Dongfang Shuo, a supporter of the Fourth Prince.

Wang Hao, the Third Prince's supporter...

Although the number of supporters is less than a handful, but…

"I have a rough idea of ​​who did it."

"Who?"×3
Chen Junting did not answer, but said: "Lao Gu, Yuhao, tomorrow you will go to these people's mansions with me to find out what's going on."
