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

Chapter 47 The So-called Calling a Stag a Horse

Mingdu, imperial palace.

Inside the magnificent hall.

Nearly a hundred officials, civil and military, lined up on both sides.

Civil officials are mostly in charge of governing the country. There is a prime minister, who is the head of the civil officials. Military officials are mostly high-level soul mentors, including the head of the Royal Soul Mentor Corps stationed in the imperial city, Xu Jiangnian, a ninth-level soul mentor who does not participate in any court disputes and only serves the emperor. There is also the leader of the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Corps, Qing Zhi, a ninth-level soul mentor.

In addition, the other three Beast Soul Instructor Groups are all distributed along the border and cannot gather in a short period of time.

And right in front of the palace.

Two figures stood on the left and right.

Xu Jiran glared coldly at Xu Cheng beside him. Although he was a little annoyed, he did not regret it.

After all, for those who achieve great things, this little setback is nothing.

The prime minister on the side also gave him a reassuring look. Xu Jiran looked at the entire court. At least one-third of the people stood on his side. He felt more confident and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

What is destiny? This is it!
You, Xu Cheng, are only worthy of hanging out with a bunch of rotten fish and shrimp.

"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"

A voice sounded from outside the palace.

In an instant, all the ministers knelt down, except for those with rich experience such as Mr. Kong, Mr. Cheng, Jing Hongchen, and a few princes, who only had to bow.

The Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire walked out of the door.

Slowly ascended the throne in the front.

"Everyone who loves me is safe."

The Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire spoke calmly.

"Okay, tell me what happened today..."

"My fourth brother's Royal Patrol Team suddenly brought me back to the Patrol Department today and prepared to torture me severely, trying to slander me and force me to confess. There is still evidence in the communication soul guide and it has not been destroyed. The captain of the Royal Patrol Team, Xu Mochen, is the one who did this..."

"..."

In an instant, there was an uproar in the court.

Everyone knows that the fight between princes for the throne is indeed extremely dangerous, with all kinds of shady and dangerous tactics emerging one after another, but the winner takes all.

Like the Fourth Prince, even if his dangerous move was discovered and the opponent caught his weakness, he would probably...

"Fourth Prince, what do you think..."

The emperor's voice remained calm.

"Your son... accepts the punishment!"

Xu Jiran gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground.

The prime minister was from his mother's family, and the reason he came to the palace was to teach him how to speak.

Although he was not convinced, he still had great trust in the prime minister's political skills.

"Eleventh Prince, what do you think?"

The emperor continued.

"In that case, then the entire royal patrol team will be slaughtered, and the current person in charge must also be killed..." Xu Cheng smiled, but his voice became a little colder.

"Xu Cheng! Don't go too far!"

Hearing this, the Fourth Prince stood up and glared at Xu Cheng.

"Haha, if my teacher had come later today, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to recover at all, and I'd be dead or alive. I didn't want you to die, I've already given you face..." Xu Cheng said calmly. "And the Royal Patrol should not be a tool for some people to abuse their power. Let me ask you, besides me, has anyone else from the royal family been in the cell of this patrol? I'm afraid they are all tools for this bunch of parasites to make a profit and capture other innocent people for extortion."

"Huh..." Xu Jiran took a deep breath and said coldly: "The one in charge is the prince! You have no right to kill him! Besides, I don't care who dies."

"..."

sides.

The Prime Minister, Mr. Cheng and others remained silent.

Let the two of them argue.

But even though he didn't say a word, just standing there was enough to represent everything.

Some generals in the court looked at Old Cheng standing silently behind Xu Cheng, and they all looked at each other with a hint of shock.

I didn't expect Xu Cheng to actually win this person over.

Apart from some of the Fourth Prince's diehard supporters, I'm afraid that many generals in the future will have an extra consideration when choosing sides. This is the power brought by Mr. Cheng's identity.

After all, a powerless prince (most people currently do not know that the Holy Spirit Church has a connection with Xu Cheng) can, with the blessing of Old Cheng alone, stand on the same platform with the Fourth Prince, who has been developing for more than ten years, has his own buff from his mother's family, has a large number of followers, and has considerable influence in the court. This already shows to a considerable extent how high his status is.

"Humph, Xu Cheng, you must not forget that you colluded with the evil soul master and killed innocent civilians in my Sun Moon Empire!"

Finally, Xu Jiran couldn't help it and threw out the trump card.

In an instant, the entire court fell silent.

They all looked at Xu Cheng in horror.

What the hell? Evil soul master? ! !
This is this...

When Xu Jiran saw that all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He looked at Xu Cheng proudly, as if he had the advantage.

"What evil soul master? Be careful or I'll sue you for defamation!"

Xu Cheng said dissatisfiedly. "What a joke, you are a Holy Spirit Church Saint, but you are not an evil soul master?" Xu Jiran's voice was a little higher, as if he wanted everyone in the hall to know.

But behind him, the prime minister was secretly shaking his head.

He had warned that no matter what, the opponent's trump card must not be revealed, but the child was easily provoked and...

Alas, if it wasn't for his own grandson, and the fight for succession involved his own family, he really wanted to give up.

Do you really think that the Holy Spirit Church is evil in the eyes of everyone?
What a joke! Childish!
In the face of strength, everything is nothing!
Especially this group of nobles (ruling class), in their eyes, the evil soul master slaughtering the people? It has nothing to do with me, unless he specifically catches the nobles, then it will arouse public indignation!
And Zhongli Wu is also extremely cunning. In recent years, the Holy Spirit Church has been quite low-key and forbidden to make enemies with the nobles of the Sun-Moon Empire. In the past hundred years, it has been in a state of low-key development and not ostentatious, so that most people have no specific understanding of how big the Holy Spirit Church is now.

For example, the chief priest Long Xiaoyao, no one knew that he had joined the Holy Spirit Church until he showed up.

The reality was just as the prime minister worried.

All the civil and military officials in the court were wide-eyed when they heard this.

Holy Spirit Church...Holy Son!
This prince, who is usually unknown, is really low-key!
Of course, if Xu Cheng jumped out at this moment and said that he had connections with the evil soul master, most people would probably be skeptical. If you say so, then it is so?
But Xu Cheng's opponent, Xu Jiran, openly said so, so he had to believe it...

For an instant.

Everyone in the court looked at Xu Cheng differently, and many people were even secretly considering whether to take sides in advance.

"You said the Holy Spirit Church is an evil soul master?"

Xu Cheng pursed his lips and smiled.

"Nonsense, aren't the Holy Spirit Church's members evil soul masters?!" Xu Jiran's voice grew louder, and he became more and more proud as he enjoyed the noisy discussions of countless people behind him.

"Oh……"

Xu Cheng nodded, then said calmly, "Old Long, some people say that you are an evil soul master."

Xu Jiran: ???

Everyone in the court was silent, and looked at Xu Cheng with curiosity.

What is this?
And...who is Mr. Long?

In my Sun-Moon Empire, is there any strong man with the surname Long?

But the next moment.

A terrifying pressure suddenly covered the entire hall.

Countless court ministers turned pale in an instant, looking towards the sky outside the hall in horror. The sky, which had been clear just now, was now covered with dark clouds, as if dark clouds were pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it.

The wind blew slowly, as if it was the precursor of a rainstorm.

A man covered in a black robe slowly descended from the air, and then stepped gently into the hall step by step.

The breeze comes slowly.

The wind slowly blew up the man's black robe, revealing the face of a handsome middle-aged man in his forties.

"Long Xiaoyao..."

Kong Deming's eyes narrowed suddenly and he spoke in disbelief.

"You...actually joined the Holy Spirit Church!!!"

at the same time.

The entire court was silent.

Countless ministers looked at Long Xiaoyao with shocked eyes. The legend of the ninety-nine-level Ultimate Douluo on the mainland was so widespread and profound that countless spirit masters regarded him as a god-like existence.

And now he has appeared in the royal succession battle, openly taking sides, and the even more terrifying news is.

He actually joined the evil soul master...

at the same time.

Five men in black robes also followed in his footsteps and entered the hall.

The aura was clearly visible, and they were all strong people above the Super Douluo.

This scene made the Sun Moon Empire's Supreme, who had just lazily sat on the throne and seemed to have no interest in anything, flash with surprise in his eyes...

"So, Xu Jiran, what is the relationship between the evil soul master and the Holy Spirit Church?"

Xu Cheng smiled.

"No, no..."

The aura of six super powerful men coming towards him made Xu Jiran's face pale and his legs tremble.

Several eighth-level soul masters who originally belonged to his force did not dare to show up.

"Everyone, does my Holy Spirit Church have any connection with that group of evil soul masters?"

Xu Cheng turned around, looked at the civil and military officials, and spoke loudly.

"No! How is that possible!"

"How could the Holy Spirit Church be related to that group of ahem... evil soul masters? This is pure nonsense!"

"Yes! We have never heard of any connection between the two."

For a moment, there was a lot of discussion.

Xu Cheng looked at Xu Jiran and the prime minister beside him and smiled.

The latter's face, however, turned red as if he had eaten pig liver...
