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

Chapter 238 The former [heroic epic drama] is changed to [Tang San's sinful history], Xingluo Royal Weekly reports for you
"It took my Xingluo ancestor tens of thousands of years to sit at the chess table, but it only took half a month for him to go from being a chess player to being a chess piece."

Xingluo Imperial Capital.

In the spacious hall, Xu Jiawei had a strand of white hair hanging down from his temples, and he looked a little melancholy.

Becoming the overlord of one of the Three Kingdoms, stepping on the heavenly soul and punching the fighting spirit, the Xingluo Empire was so powerful in the past. But now with the rebellion of Duke Baihu, the Sun and Moon Empire broke through the Mingdou defense line like a fish in water, and the fig leaf of Xingluo was also torn off.

Today he still guards the Xingluo Imperial Capital, but the prestige of the royal family has almost dropped to zero.

"Xu Cheng, he is truly my lifelong enemy." He patted the armrest lightly and looked at Xu Jiujiu who was silent in the audience.

"Jiujiu, I abolished the old and innovated, hoping to solve the stubborn problems of the old nobles. I vigorously developed soul guides, hoping to give Xingluo a hope of taking off. What did I do wrong? God has to treat me like this."

There were only two people in the hall.

The morning court was over, and the ministers each performed their duties. After reporting in a muddled manner, they returned to their posts to catch up on some sleep, but Xu Jiawei couldn't sleep.

The Xu family’s empire is about to be lost, who the hell can sleep well?

"You tried your best..." Xu Jiujiu sighed softly.

She looked at Xu Jiawei, who was sitting high on the throne, seemingly holding on with his body, but in fact his heart was already withered and weak, and pursed her red lips. Before this, her brother had many shortcomings, but his excellence was undeniable, with vision far beyond that of ordinary people, decisive choices, etc. However, when she met that god-like man, it seemed that she was destined to lose miserably...

"Forget it, forget it. Xingluo's luck has run out. If the enemy really comes to the city next time, I will just die in the battle." Xu Jiawei exhaled a breath.

“So at this moment, I must seize every opportunity to remedy the precarious situation of Xingluo. It just so happens that there is a Chamber of Commerce in the country recently, and it is said that there is a financing opportunity. Even Shrek Academy has invested money. Now there are more than 500 million gold soul coins in circulation in the treasury. The rest of the soul bones, rare treasures, etc. can also be sold to raise some money.”

He looked slightly excited.

"If we can fill the gap in the national treasury and replenish the national strength, and if we can resell the soul guides that flow into Xingluo, then Xingluo will have time to prepare for development."

"The humiliation suffered by Xing Luo must be repaid with the blood of the Sun and Moon Empire!" He gritted his teeth and his voice became increasingly angry.

"But..." Xu Jiujiu opened his lips slightly, then closed them obediently.

When Xu Jiawei cast a suspicious look at him, he shook his head and said, "Brother, it's up to you to decide."

She always felt that something was wrong about this matter, but she couldn't tell what. Now even the Douling Royal Family and Shrek Academy were gone. If Xing Luo didn't hurry up and grab a piece of the pie, he would be left far behind.

Once you miss this kind of national destiny event, it will never happen again.

Leave the palace.

Xu Jiujiu seemed to take off his mask, put his hands behind his back, and leaped lightly like a deer on the tree-lined path. This was the road leading to Xingluo Royal Academy.

The sunlight shines on the girl's beautiful face, as if it was carefully carved by the Emperor of Heaven, and there is not a single flaw to be found.

In front of outsiders, she is always a princess. Elegance, beauty and dignity are her hallmarks. Few people can see this lively and smart scene.

"..."

Star Luo Royal Academy.

He looked at a newspaper for a long time.

Nowadays, apart from the palace, she spends more time in the academy, practicing with her senior and junior sisters, and briefly forgetting the quagmire of Star Luo politics.

But as an academy directly under the royal family, it is impossible to completely avoid it.

Take this evening paper for example.

"The latest issue of Xingluo Royal Weekly."

"The people who were once deceived by Tang San's image of the Sea God Savior fell into collective disillusionment. Statues of the Sea God were smashed in various places (see photos for photoshop). The towns that originally worshipped the Sea God erected an Anti-Tang San Monument instead, recording his crimes such as killing innocent soul beasts and persecuting allies."

"The Shrek Academy split into the [Tang Protection Faction] and the [Liquidation Faction]. At the same time, the day before yesterday, the inner courtyard teacher Wang Yan publicly accused Tang San of tampering with the school history."

"The Spirit Hall was re-evaluated as the [Spirit Master Welfare Pioneer], and the Bibi Dong statue replaced Tang San as the pilgrimage site for poor spirit masters. Many spirit masters even expressed their willingness to be the leader's dogs, because Bibi Dong's statue was so similar to the original..."

"It was revealed that Zhuge's divine crossbow and other hidden weapons [required the sacrifice of an infant's soul], and later due to the joint boycott by various countries, the Tang Sect's various hidden weapons were abolished, which also led to the current decline of the Tang Sect..."

"The Xingluo royal family revealed the truth that Tang San had secretly supported Dai Mubai to usurp the throne, which led to the slaughter of the former crown prince's lineage, triggering a civil war in the Dai family."

"The former [heroic epic drama] was changed to [Tang San's sinful history]. How sad and lamentable. Xingluo Royal Weekly will report this to you firsthand."

The corner of Xu Jiujiu's eye twitched.

She could still understand the first part, including those guys vying to be the Pope's dogs, but the latter part... wasn't it too outrageous?
The core of Zhuge's magic crossbow requires the sacrifice of a baby's soul?

Please, the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, which has been improved for dozens of times, is now a common item on the street. If you go and check it out, would you report something so outrageous? Sacrificing the soul of a baby, that is something that only evil soul masters would do, just to attract attention...

It's hard, the fist is hard.

She wanted to rush into Xingluo Royal Weekly right away, pull out the editor-in-chief, and punch him hard on the head. If he had had some side dishes when compiling this article, he wouldn't have been so drunk, right?

She was quite suspicious, so the editor stopped a few people on the street and told them what they heard from the previous owner of the dog of my second aunt, third aunt and second uncle's neighbor. They said it must be true! Then they dared to write it in the newspaper.

It’s a pity that she was reading this newspaper in the past few years.

Chao, unfollowed!
but……

"Find a copy of each of the famous newspapers and magazines in Shrek, Tianhun, and Douling. They must be published within the last half month."

As she whispered the order, a shadow flashed by the tree behind the bench where the girl was sitting.

She put down the newspaper, but her brows were slightly frowned.

As a princess, her political sense is naturally more sensitive than others.

The fact that this newspaper could be published in the Royal Daily News was most likely with the permission of his elder brother, which showed that his elder brother's attitude towards Tang San had changed from "respect and nominal belief" to the removal of that shackle.

You know, in these ten thousand years, no matter how much war the countries in the original continent fought to the death, they all respected Tang San.

Regardless of whether this is a character from a myth that cannot interfere with reality or is used to rule civilians, it is more advantageous, so the [Heroic Epic Drama] is no joke. It is performed every year at the Royal Theatre, and the actor who plays Tang San is even treated with courtesy by the emperor. There are countless books praising him, and even she is a little aesthetically fatigued, praising Tang San for bringing light to Douluo Continent like the sun, blah blah blah...

During these ten thousand years, there was not a single piece of negative news about Tang San.

This is not only due to the long-term rigidification of the thinking of the common people and nobles, but also the interference of the royal families of various countries. If you insult Tang San, you will be subject to criminal law.

But now...

The "god" in everyone's heart was overthrown. Did the elder brother intend to create another sun? Himself? Xu Jiujiu pondered.

Soon, subordinates handed over some newspapers.

There were more than a dozen copies of "Shrek City Evening News", "Douhuang Digest", "Tianhun Daily", etc. Although the types were diverse, after flipping through them for a long time, I only saw two words "collapse of the house".

Comments from various countries pointed their sharp spears at Tang San.

Whether it was the influenced public opinion or the dissatisfied public opinion, they all pointed the blame to Tang San.

If the Spirit Hall could have been unified back then, perhaps it wouldn't be suppressed by the Sun-Moon Empire like this now.

It was like finding an excuse for his own failure in order to appease the public opinion and aristocratic dissatisfaction caused by the current decline.

This gave rise to a large number of "creations", with many authors writing works such as "On Tang San's Conspiracy Theory" and "What is the Ten Thousand Year Plan" and publishing them in newspapers.

And she also noticed that there was something mixed in with the Tianhun Daily - just a few days ago in the newspaper, there was an article in which the chief soul engineer of the Tianhun Empire, an eighth-level soul engineer who was over a hundred years old and had snow-white hair, published an article [On the Inevitability of Soul Guides Replacing Martial Souls].

This article seems insignificant amidst the turbulent flood of the times.

But it made her feel a little heavy.

Previous reports had vaguely revealed the strength of the Sun-Moon Empire. When various countries reported on Tang San, they also listed the current Sun-Moon Empire as the most terrifying enemy. And it was precisely because of this that this report hinted at the current situation.

In the eyes of the royal family, the Sun-Moon Empire is an enemy.

But in the eyes of many people, the Sun-Moon Empire is a mysterious and prosperous country. It has completely gone out of the circle in recent days, and has been covered with a veil of mystery by the major royal families - especially Xing Luo. I was beaten on the head by the Sun-Moon Empire. Could it be that I am too weak?

Definitely not. According to the law of conservation, the only reason is that the Sun-Moon Empire is too strong.

Thus, a wave spread across the Three Kingdoms.

The moon in Riyue is indeed rounder than that in the original Three Kingdoms.

They were obsessed with joining the Sun-Moon Empire, like devout pilgrims, but they also deeply despised the old soul master system and the place that gave birth to them.

……

Just when Xu Jiujiu was worried about the future of the empire.

Xu Cheng had already arrived at the Tianhun Empire.

When the morning light first breaks, Tianhun City wakes up on the ridge of the lush Tianhun Mountains.

The hundred-meter-high city wall is cast from a whole piece of [Star Steel], and the surface is etched with the martial spirit totems of successive Heavenly Soul Emperors - the wing relief of a double-headed Sky Kite glows silver-blue in the sunlight, and each feather reveals a relic of history. The moat is as blue as an inverted galaxy, and the most glorious illusion of this city vaguely emerges in the mist rising from the river.

To be honest, he had been to Tianhun City once, but it was just a quick visit to save Tang Ya.

Now standing outside the city gate and looking up from below, there is still quite a visual impact.

If Metropolis is like a cyber city, then Heavenly Soul City is like a black tortoise with a long history, crawling quietly, with the years carving on its body. The thousand-year-old capital has become what it is today.

"What kind of bullshit Tang Sect hidden weapon needs to use the soul of a baby to refine it? I'll kill him!!!"

Not long after he entered the city unnoticed.

Tang Ya gritted her teeth and said.

Originally, as Xu Cheng instructed, she went to buy a newspaper nearby to learn about the local situation. Unexpectedly, the large red characters really made her feel a little overwhelmed.

You can curse Tang San if you want, why are you slandering my Tang Sect’s hidden weapons?
I didn’t see it in the movie, so did Tang San secretly learn my Tang Sect’s skills? ! !

"Haha, it's useless..." Xu Cheng sat in the teahouse, took a sip of the tea just brought by the waiter, and grinned.

He also came over to look at the newspaper, which was full of scoldings against Tang San and various conspiracy theories. This world likes to praise gods and step on gods. When there are too many people praising gods, some negative thoughts will arise in that person's heart.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s a conspiracy theory or not, I just want him dead.

It seems that the people of the original Three Kingdoms are ready to put the blame for the defeat on Tang San...

Xu Cheng touched his chin.

Now that Tang San's reputation has been ruined, it will be much easier for him to pass on the blame when the time comes.

Moreover, he also saw some common phenomena in his previous life in these reports - such as the pessimistic remarks of a certain eighth-level soul master on the soul master system, and his yearning for the Mingdu of the Sun-Moon Empire...

It has the flavor of a certain forest.

There is still more than half a month before the Sun Moon Empire Royal Academy Tournament hosted by Master Jing. Many hidden families who have defected to the Sun Moon Empire will be invited to attend. This is also a signal sent by the Sun Moon Empire to all walks of life...

Is this considered a two-way trip?

Xu Cheng shook his head.

I was annoyed to death by these guys in my previous life, but why do I like them so much now?

It would be better to trick more people over here, the more the better, the Sun Moon Empire will never complain about having too few people...

"After all, only a few nobles can watch movies these days. The ticket for Liuyingjing starts at one gold soul coin, which is not affordable for ordinary people. Therefore, not many people have seen the movie, and most people have heard about it from others." Xu Cheng held Tang Ya's wrist and looked at the newspaper without turning his head.

The latter was so angry when she heard the people at the next table refutate her that she almost used the Tang Sect hidden weapon to teach them a lesson.

"Humph!"

Tang Ya sat on the chair, her teeth itching with anger.

"Okay, okay. I'll go with you to worship our ancestors, and by the way, I'll go to Shrek Academy to see my buddy Ah Xiao." Xu Cheng put down the newspaper and took another sip of tea.

Ever since he left for Shrek Academy in a tragic manner, "The wind is whistling in the world and the Yishui River is cold, the hero will never return", he has never come back. Especially in recent days, the situation has been tense, and Shrek has been keeping a close eye on him and dares not let him go at all.

I was afraid that he would sneak back...

He didn't go before because he was afraid of the existence of Ah Yin in the golden tree. After all, if that demigod really woke up, even the soul fragments would be enough to make him suffer.

Fortunately, he had signed a contract with the Silver Dragon King not long ago, and obtained a true god that could be summoned at any time. Even if he was an injured version, it would be easy for him to escape from A Yin's hands.

As a brother, it's okay to visit my brother-in-law, considering our seniority, right?
What would be that boy’s reaction when he knew that A Meng had become his shape and he had become a part of the dowry?

You should be very happy, right?
