Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 169 Xu Tianran's Recruitment
"Your Highness, His Majesty actually..." Jing Hongchen was just about to say something.

But Xu Tianran interrupted him, "Master Hongchen, there's no need to say more. I know my father must have asked you to find my brother. Alas, it's all my incompetence that prevented me from finding him sooner. My brother was left stranded and humiliated by Shrek. Now that he's finally free, he's forced to wander the world again, living under someone else's roof in the Heavenly Soul Empire."

"Master Hongchen, I also ask you to do your best to find my poor brother."

Xu Tianran's inexplicable words left Jing Hongchen confused.

What was going on with this Crown Prince? Hadn't he previously been desperately trying to either eliminate Yuwen Tuo or prevent him from ever returning to the Sun Moon Empire? Why was he suddenly so eager to find him now?

In fact, Xu Tianran had no choice. His first two ideas were based on the premise that Yuwen Tuo's talent was at most an ordinary genius.

After all, he himself is a super genius and has been hiding his strength. In the original novel, he was in his thirties and achieved the Titled Douluo realm with the super powerful martial soul Zihuang Mie Tianlong.

The Purple Brilliant Sky-Slaying Dragon possesses destructive attributes. Legend has it that its ancestor was a sub-dragon that coexisted with the Dragon God, also known as the Forefather of Sub-dragons. Later, due to its destructive nature, it was exterminated by the Dragon God himself.

In today's world, only the royal family of the Sun-Moon Empire occasionally has this kind of martial spirit.

It can be said that apart from his disabled legs and inhumane nature, Xu Tianran is one of the top figures in the continent in terms of both wisdom and strength.

In this case, he would naturally not be afraid of his ordinary genius brother. At most, he would hate him and worry that he would cause trouble for him after returning home.

But now it’s different. The talent shown by Yuwen Tuo is no longer that of a genius, but a top-level monster.

The Soul Master suppressed the Soul King and the Soul Emperor, and blasted a seventh-level soul guide with one finger. He was at the innate level of twenty. He didn't know if his father was too excited when he had sex with Xu Yueran. His genes were so good that he inexplicably gave birth to such a monster brother for him.

In this situation, he had to change his mind and could not allow Yuwen Tuo to develop in the Tianhun Empire.

If he is loyal to the Sky Soul Empire, with his innate talent of level 20, he will become one of the top masters on the continent in just a few years. Moreover, he seems to be a natural nemesis of soul guides, otherwise how could he explode a level 7 soul guide with one finger? Once he grows up, how can the Sun and Moon Empire conquer the Sky Soul Empire?

And if they are disloyal to the Tianhun Empire and just use them temporarily to develop their own strength and power, that would be even more troublesome. Xu Tianran would worry that this guy would return to Sun and Moon one day with a successful cultivation.

By then, he must have already achieved great power and was in good health. He might even have the royal blood of two countries and be nobler than him. Wouldn't he be his biggest competitor for the throne?

The only way is to bring him back to China before he grows up.

Only if he returned to the Sun and Moon Empire could Xu Tianran use his tricks on him, either to subdue him or to kill him.

Otherwise, if he stayed with Tianhun, was protected by Tianhun, and grew up silently, he would become the biggest trouble one day.

Xu Tianran is suspicious, ruthless and cruel. His lifelong goal is to unify the Douluo Continent and change the name of Douluo to Sun and Moon. In order to fulfill this dream, he does not allow any variables.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince loves me so much that I am deeply touched. I will work hard to live up to the trust of Your Majesty and Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Although Jing Hongchen did not understand Xu Tianran's intention for a moment.

But he still chose to respect it. Isn't it the best situation that the orders of the emperor with the highest status and the powerful prince do not conflict with each other?
"Alright, I have every confidence in Master Hongchen's abilities. By the way, Master Hongchen, there's one more thing. My father is seriously ill, and his health is declining day by day. To share his hard work, I've been handling state affairs day and night. Currently, I'm involved in all three of the country's most important affairs: finance, politics, and the military. I only have a limited understanding of Mingde Hall's affairs. I wonder if Master Hongchen will be free someday to invite me to Mingde Hall. After all, the empire's development cannot be separated from Mingde Hall, and I sincerely hope to receive Master Hongchen's assistance," Xu Tianran said. Jing Hongchen understood what he meant this time; Xu Tianran was trying to recruit him.

His Majesty was seriously ill, power in the country was dispersed, and many princes did not obey Xu Tianran. His legs were attacked by royal brothers who plotted to take the throne shortly after he became an adult. Although he killed the murderer immediately with ruthless means, his legs were disabled and he became a useless person.

The internal struggle for the throne is intensifying, and there are princes outside who are ready to make moves. The Sun and Moon Empire seems stable, but in fact it is in chaos everywhere.

There is an urgent need for an emperor with an iron fist to take the throne and integrate all the power of the country.

Although Jing Hongchen has no intention of taking sides at the moment, if he has to take sides one day, the person he will give priority to will most likely be the disabled but strong-willed Crown Prince.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is too polite. Thank you for your support. The door of my Mingde Hall is always open to you." Jing Hongchen said.

He originally thought that Xu Tianran would not be so anxious to win him over, but now it seems that the appearance of Yuwen Tuo has made him a little anxious.

In fact, these two guys were totally overthinking it.

Yuwen Tuo would never compete with Xu Tianran for the throne. From the beginning to the end, his only thought was to destroy the Sun and Moon Empire.

After understanding his own life experience, he knew clearly that the village’s hatred was definitely related to the Sun-Moon Empire.

What is the throne of the Sun and Moon Emperor? Can it be more important than a hair of his village chief grandfather?

In the Star Dou Great Forest, Yuwen Tuo has finished his training with the Red King and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

He discovered that the Red King's hellfire was indeed more domineering and strange than Ma Xiaotao's previous evil fire.

However, the Red King was able to control the evil flames and was completely unaffected by them. He was worthy of being one of the ten most ferocious beasts. His cultivation was beyond the reach of Ma Xiaotao.

According to Yuwen Tuo's estimation, if he practiced in this way, within three months, he would be able to increase the power of the Red King's Hellfire to a level comparable to the ultimate fire.

He will do his best to help it practice, and will not hide anything from it, because this will also be helpful to him. Pure Fire can also obtain some of the power of Hellfire, and the Red King's huge soul power can also drive him to practice.

The most important thing is that the stronger the Red King is, the higher the success rate of his plan will be.

"Taku, I want to eat fish!"

At night, the three-eyed golden lion came to Yuwen Tuo. Every time she appeared, her first words were always the same: I want to eat fish.

Even though she'd already tried Yuwen Tuo's incredibly spicy rabbit head, she still thought the fish was the best. Was it really fate? Was she and the guy who grilled fish destined to be together?
