Peerless: The Evil Soul Master's Guide to Saving the World

Chapter 226 Ye Guyi: Just out of the tiger's den, into the wolf's den! (4k)

The northern part of the Sun and Moon Empire.

The glorious Grand Ducal Province.

Inside a magnificent duke's palace.

"Father, there is a letter from Mingdu asking all the dukes to bring their families to Mingdu to attend the parliament. You can see the meaning of this, right?" Zhao Yang said angrily.

"Of course I see through it, but Mingdu is powerful. If we send troops to conquer them at that time, I'm afraid..." Grand Duke Huihuang played with the pearl in his hand, with a hint of hesitation on his face.

"Father, our glorious province has a complex terrain and tens of thousands of soldiers. Even if Xu Cheng sends troops, it will be difficult to wipe us out. Besides, we are not determined to rebel. As long as he recognizes our independence, we can get several times more tribute than last year. Why bother to spend time and effort to conquer us?" Zhao Yang said earnestly.

"This..." The Brilliant Duke hesitated.

In fact, the idea of ​​"rebellion" was instigated by his son, and he gradually had some ideas about it. But now, after hearing about how powerful the Mingdu military was and how they beat the people on the other side of the Mingdou Mountains in a panic, this idea gradually disappeared.

He glanced at his son with a complicated expression.

The Soul Emperor, who is only 32 years old, has the rare and powerful "Violent Golden Bear" as his martial soul, which was inherited from his first wife, who has always been his first-line heir and the future glorious Grand Duke.

Therefore, his son still holds a very high position in his heart.

“What’s more, how can those fake soul masters, who break at the slightest touch in close combat, be a match for traditional soul masters?” Zhao Yang said confidently.

He has been living in the Glorious Province since he was born and received traditional soul master education, so "honor" is deeply rooted in his heart.

"Father, this is a golden opportunity that comes once in a lifetime. We have been planning a rebellion for several years, but the chance of success is not as great as this time. After all, under the coercion of Xu Cheng, several grand dukes will inevitably rebel. This is our chance to unite!" Zhao Yang advised.

"This... does make some sense." The Brilliant Duke was shaken again.

After all, he was used to being a local emperor, and it was indeed a bit uncomfortable for him to go to Mingdu and be shackled for a while.

"Instead of handing your life over to him, why not try it yourself!" Zhao Yang's eyes were burning: "Kings, princes, generals, and ministers, are all of a kind!"

"Okay! In that case, then just go for it. Your father supports you! This is the carrier pigeon that we grand dukes use to communicate secretly. You can use it. They all know your position in my heart. Your words represent my words!" Grand Duke Huihuang said excitedly with his face flushed.

"Thank you, Father!!!"

……

"Body Sect, ah..."

Emperor Tianhun sighed softly.

Ever since Dai Hao caused such a huge commotion not long ago, the entire continent was shaken. They were so happy that they thought they could take advantage of him, but they didn't expect that they failed to take advantage of him and were killed like chickens.

After the return of the leader of the Benti Sect, Du Bu Si, there has been no news since then. Even his closest ally, he only heard from his daughter that he had gone into seclusion and there has been no news since then.

The casualties of the Body Sect were even more severe this time.

"Father, facing the Sun-Moon Empire, all we can do is wait for death." Mu Xue said with sad eyes.

"Each generation has its own responsibilities and missions. Even if we will be the kings or ministers of a fallen country in the future, there are some things that we must do." Emperor Tianhun said in a deep voice.

"That is..." Mu Xue asked curiously.

"From now on, the Tianhun Empire has two goals: one, to unify the Douling Empire, and two, to have a deep bond with the Body Sect." The Tianhun Empire said solemnly.

"The dragon-slaying formation in the Sunset Forest has been broken, which means God bless our Tiandou Empire. In this case, the time has come..." A fiery flash in his eyes. He had always wanted to resolve the issue peacefully, but history told him that this was impossible.

Only when the two are united can the Tiandou Empire unleash its ancient heritage and gradually retain those hidden families that have fled to the Sun and Moon Empire. This is the foundation for the future rise of Tianhun in his plan.

"Secondly, we will deeply bind ourselves to the Body Sect and follow the policy of the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago. We will allow free awakening in the country. Anyone six years old or above can go to the designated location to awaken their spirit and select talents for the Body Sect. I want to place all my bets on the Body Sect!"

"You only have three silver awakeners now, so I will find two gold awakeners. If one is not enough, I will find two! As the original continent, we have a deep foundation. Many people just don't have the opportunity to awaken, not because they have poor talent."

"This fishing net can always catch a few geniuses."

There was a flash of madness in Emperor Tianhun's eyes.

But soon, he slowly calmed down again.

"Muxue, do you know that in history books, there are usually only two emperors recorded in a dynasty, the founding emperor, and... the emperor who destroyed the country."

"As the founding emperor of the Tiandou Empire, he overthrew the rule of the previous tyrant and, with the assistance of countless wise ministers and generals, successfully ascended the throne and founded Tiandou. He is an emperor who possesses wisdom, courage, and ability. How should future generations record me?"

……

"Your Highness..."

Shangguan Weier bowed slightly and performed court etiquette, then spoke softly under Xu Cheng's slightly surprised gaze.

"You also know the Sun and Moon Palace etiquette?" Xu Cheng asked in surprise.

"I was originally a slave, bought and trained by nobles. Those so-called 'teachers' taught me these things... As a slave, I naturally have different identities. In order to interest those noble masters, this court etiquette is exactly what the princess is."

Shangguan Weier said bluntly.

"Luckily, a few days before the auction, I detected a strong martial spirit talent, so the noble did not auction me off. Instead, he planned to train me and make me a higher-level slave. However, he did not expect that I would improve so quickly. I took the opportunity to slip away and came all the way to Mingdu to make a living."

"Some questions don't need to be answered in such detail." Xu Cheng murmured.

"I am His Highness's sword, and the sword does not need to be hidden." Shangguan Wei'er said with her head down.

Under the swan-like swan-like neck were two heavy breasts with deep grooves, which looked particularly dazzling under the pressure of clothes.

"Forget it, just bring the person here." Xu Cheng waved his hand.

"Come in!"

Shangguan Weier shouted softly to the person outside the door.

A beautiful girl with an oval face and fair skin, wearing a light yellow dress, walked in slowly. Judging from her clothes and condition, she didn't look like she had been abused. After all, it was only a day or two, so it wouldn't be difficult to cover up the scars. But someone who had suffered mental trauma could see it at a glance.

Ye Guyi lifted the hem of her skirt and secretly glanced at Xu Cheng and Shangguan Weier who was kneeling on the ground, and was shocked.

After all, she had heard about the strength of the Ordinary Alliance these days. This person was an eighth-level soul master who dominated the underground forces in Mingdu. But at this moment, he was kneeling at the feet of this young boy without any dignity.

His identity...

"Haha, Ye Guyi." Xu Cheng chuckled and looked at her and said, "Can you show me your martial spirit?"

As he spoke, he glanced secretly at the tall old man standing beside him, and the latter also glanced at him.

The two looked at each other and nodded.

"..." Shangguan Weier didn't say anything. In the past, she might have urged him a little, after all, he was the one she brought here.

But now, with her experience in the underground black market, she has learned to read people's expressions and can naturally see that Xu Cheng values ​​her. This is by no means a courtesy! And the old man beside him... exudes a terrifying sense of oppression. This is a strong man she has never seen before!
The attitudes of the two towards Ye Guyi show that Ye Guyi is no longer someone she can order around.

So ever since Ye Guyi stepped into this room, the girl's fate has undergone a drastic change.

Shangguan Weier felt a little envious, but she suppressed the emotion.

"Okay." Ye Guyi wanted to say no, but under the invisible aura pressure from the two people, he nodded against his will.

"Buzz!"

The next moment, the room was filled with light.

An extremely holy light emanated from the girl's body, and an angel shadow slowly condensed from her back.

"Wow!"

The two wings flapped gently, and holy power spread to the surroundings.

Except for Shangguan Wei'er who felt a little uncomfortable due to her martial spirit, everyone else seemed to be bathed in sunshine.

Xu Cheng sighed slightly, worthy of being an angel spirit, this holiness really gave people a feeling of cleansing the soul...

"Uncle Ye, I'm glad I have accomplished my mission." He looked at the old man beside him with a smile.

"Huh...Your Highness the Holy Son, I thank you here!" Ye Cheng did not refuse at all. He took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Xu Cheng.

He searched for a hundred years but still found no news. But now, in just a few years, Xu Cheng found one, and it was a genuine, pure angel spirit.

In fact, when he heard the news, even though he had a mutated martial spirit, he was extremely excited, but he didn't expect...

"It's just a transaction after all." Ye Guyi felt a chill.

As expected, they are upper class nobles, all birds of a feather.

This young man looked handsome, and his words and actions were elegant and proper. He was a gentleman, but I didn't expect that he would do such a dirty thing!
In her opinion, these so-called nobles must be ordinary women who are tired of playing with them and want to find something special to play with, such as her angel martial spirit, which is simply full of blessings...

"Okay, let me introduce you. This is Uncle Ye from Yecheng. In a sense, you two were one family five thousand years ago." Xu Cheng naturally saw through the girl's thoughts, and without further ado, he introduced her directly.

Ye Guyi was stunned at first, then her beautiful eyes widened.

He stared at the old man with a smile on his face, and his expression gradually got out of control.

"My martial soul is that of a fallen angel, and my family has angelic blood in its veins. My martial soul is mutated, so what His Royal Highness the Saint Son said is true. We were one family five thousand years ago." Ye Cheng smiled kindly.

Six wings slowly grew out from behind him, and a strong dark aura spread out.

But the strange thing is that light and darkness should be mutually exclusive, but when Ye Guyi faced this dark and corrupt aura, he did not feel the slightest bit of rejection, but instead felt a sense of closeness.

"My only wish in this life is to find the successor of the angel spirit and bless the inheritance of this bloodline, so I entrusted His Royal Highness the Holy Son to find it. Fortunately..."

A hint of relief flashed across Ye Cheng's eyes.

"..." Shangguan Wei'er's throat rolled and she glanced at Ye Guyi secretly, her eyes full of envy.

When she was young, she met a top-notch strong man of the same bloodline who came to protect her and helped her escape from the darkness. How lucky she was. If she had met such a strong man back then, she probably wouldn't have taken so many detours.

"Everyone has their own destiny. There is nothing to envy. You have suffered a lot in the past, but you still have a long life ahead of you..."

As I hesitated, a gentle voice sounded in my ears.

"Yes..." A complex look flashed across Shangguan Wei'er's eyes, and her voice softened unconsciously.

This kind of boss... I have never met one before.

She made the right choice.

"By the way, Your Highness, regarding the competition four years later, the Xishui League has sent another letter urging us to finalize the rules in the last few days and that no changes will be allowed in the future. Please review it."

Shangguan Weier remembered something, took out a token from the storage soul guide, and handed it to Xu Cheng with both hands.

"The soul guide manufacturing competition system and the competition system..."

Xu Cheng nodded slightly.

The competition was basically not much different from the one in his previous life. To be honest, he even thought about wearing a mask and playing around. He would only be nineteen years old in four years, which was the right age. As for whether he would be recognized by Nangong Wan...that loser couldn't even recognize Huo Gua, let alone himself at the age of nineteen.

But the rules always feel a bit ridiculous.

There are nine people in the finals, and the first place will be determined in the end, and the top three will receive rewards.

The rules of the competition are based on overall strength, which means anything can be used as long as it can defeat/kill the opponent.

But the selection rules of each force...

It is also optional and can be determined by each alliance.

The Pingfan League Division and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce Division are both quite normal, and they will advance if they can win.

Only the Xishui League seemed to have lost its mind and had to test the contestants' ability to make and use soul guides. The former even accounted for 80 to 90 percent, because when you fight, you can only use the soul guides you made within the specified time...

Can you be more ridiculous?

Since it is a selection for the final "Unlimited Fighting", why does it have to be such a strict competition system? If it weren't for the help of Tang Si and Tang Wu in the original novel, the Xishui League would have been firmly in last place with the selection!

Of course, this rule is more like designed for Huo Gua...

While pretending to be great, he achieved victory under the conditions that are most favorable to him, but he completely treated the rules of nature as a fool.

But of course he wouldn't bring it up.

Just think of it as Nangong Wan’s intelligence being lowered.

For a competition that was extremely important to the Holy Spirit Church's interests (the leader and deputy leader were all present to observe the competition), they did not send their own experts to compete, but instead relied on a perverse method to select those who were specialized in soul guides.

Outrageous and insane.

"Agree? Since they have issued a challenge, we have no choice but to accept it. When the time comes... we'll send Gu Yi. Four years later, under Uncle Ye's guidance, the Soul Emperor will be easily captured." Xu Cheng said with a smile.

"Okay, Guyi, this is the Holy Son of my Holy Spirit Church, His Highness Xu Cheng." Ye Cheng looked at Ye Guyi who was confused on the side.

Not... Holy Spirit Church? Or the Son of God? ! !
Have I just escaped from the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den?

ps: I can’t do it anymore, I’ll make up another 2,000 tomorrow~
