Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 251 Yuwen Tuo's Aspiration to Seize the Throne

Xu Tianran clenched his fists and swore that his murderous intent towards Yuwen Tuo was even greater than that of the man who crippled his legs.

Now he is just the crown prince, and he cannot give orders to the Gongfeng Hall and Mingde Hall. Shadow Douluo Xuechen can be said to be the only Titled Douluo and ninth-level soul mentor he can command.

"Shadow Douluo Xuechen? Prince Yan, did you kill him?" Xu Tianyuan asked in shock.

Although this Shadow Douluo did not directly join the Sun and Moon Court, he was still a Titled Douluo of their Sun and Moon Empire, so he would not be unfamiliar with him.

"Yes, he suddenly ambushed me on my way back to the city. I don't know which damn eunuch ordered him to do so. Oh, Your Highness, this time I'm not talking about you, I'm scolding the damn eunuch who sent him to kill me." Yuwen Tuo shrugged and said, "I just didn't expect that a dignified Titled Douluo and ninth-level Soul Master would be weaker than I imagined. I actually killed him alone."

"I don't believe you at all!" The emperor, Xu Tianyuan and Xu Tianran complained in their hearts.

In their opinion, the Body Sect must have sent someone to secretly protect Yuwen Tuo. Xue Chen tried to assassinate Yuwen Tuo, but was killed in return by a master of the Body Sect.

Especially Xu Tianran, he knew that Yuwen Tuo and Meng Hongchen had left the city not long ago and then met up with a master from the Benti Sect.

He also gave Xue Chen an order that if Yuwen Tuo came back under the escort of a master from the Body Sect, then don't take any action and just continue to monitor his movements.

This loser must have ignored his instructions and was too confident in his assassination skills. As a result, he fell into Yuwen Tuo's trap and was killed on the spot by the Titled Douluo of the Body Sect.

Otherwise, it is impossible that Yuwen Tuo, a mere Soul King, could have killed Xuechen, a Titled Douluo.

"Prince Yan, Shadow Douluo is, after all, our country's Titled Douluo and an important fighting force. No matter what, you shouldn't kill him so casually. What we lose is the strength of our country." Xu Tianyuan said.

Although there are Titled Douluo in their country, most of them are of very low level and far inferior to the Three Kingdoms in Douluo Continent.

Therefore, in a real fight, besides relying on the advantages of spirit guides, they also have to rely on numbers. This is why the Sun-Moon Empire relies on premature elixirs to forcibly create Titled Douluo.

Xue Chen was a rare Titled Douluo who achieved a breakthrough on his own. Such combat power was gone just like that. Not only Xu Tianyuan, but even the emperor felt distressed. Xu Tianran was even vomiting blood in his heart.

"Tsk, what kind of fighting power is a Titled Douluo who can't even defeat a Soul King like me?" Yuwen Tuo sneered, "It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like this gift of mine very much. Then I'd better take it back."

As he spoke, Yuwen Tuo walked forward, lifted up Xuechen's head with his toes like kicking a football, then grabbed its white hair and held it up with one hand.

This bloody scene did not make people feel disgusted, because the eyes of the three people were unconsciously attracted to Yuwen Tuo, who had a strong presence, rather than on the snow-dusted head.

Yuwen Tuo seems to like taking off the heads of Titled Douluo. The last one was none other than Taotie Douluo Xuanzi.

This Xuechen is the second one, but I’m afraid he won’t be the last. Does he think this is very handsome?

Yuwen Tuo smiled and looked at the emperor. "Your Majesty, what Your Majesty said just now is correct. Although this guy is not as weak as a Soul King, he is still a Titled Douluo. It was my fault for rashly killing him. In addition, I just spread rumors about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I should admit my mistake. How about this? I will come to the court tomorrow and ask you for a chance to atone for my sins."

"Well, this is the demeanor of a virtuous prince." The emperor nodded with satisfaction.

Although his long-lost son was very crazy, he still knew when to advance and retreat in front of his father.

Xu Tianyuan pondered in his heart, and at this moment he also felt that this Prince Yan must have the intention of seizing the throne.

There is no other way but to confront Xu Tianran head-on. After all, the emperor's health has been getting worse over the years. If someone who wants to seize the throne still wants to endure it, it would be tantamount to handing the throne to Xu Tianran.

Today, Yuwen Tuo first exposed Xu Tianran's shortcomings, shaking his position as the crown prince.

He then joined forces with the Body Sect to kill Shadow Douluo Xuechen, demonstrating his own talent and strong background.

The third emperor humbly admitted his mistakes, demonstrating his virtuous character of knowing and correcting his mistakes. As long as he worked hard to learn some solutions to government affairs in the future, he would definitely be a strong contender for the throne.

"Then I'll take my leave now." After saying this, Yuwen Tuo bowed to the emperor and Xu Tianyuan and left.

From beginning to end, Xu Tianran didn't say a word.

Because he was speechless, everything Yuwen Tuo said was true.

And the truth is the hardest thing to refute in this world.

The emperor did not stop Yuwen Tuo, but instead gave Xu Tianran a cold look. "You, come in with me. Tianyuan, summon the palace physician, and then order the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Group to seal off the East Palace. No one is allowed to enter without permission."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xu Tianyuan understood that the emperor wanted to confirm the truth about Xu Tianran.

Xu Tianran's face turned pale, but he was powerless to resist at this moment, because the emperor was the emperor and the prince was the prince.

Not to mention anything else, just here, Xu Tianyuan is more loyal to the emperor than himself.

Yuwen Tuo returned to Mingde Hall. As soon as she saw him, Meng Hongchen came forward with joy, "Your Highness, you are finally back. I have been worried to death all this time."

"Your Highness, you were really too impulsive today. How could you just barge into the East Palace?" Jing Hongchen said, "What exactly happened?"

Since Yuwen Tuo did not hide his whereabouts at the beginning, he used all his soul power to shout in the East Palace.

The news of him causing trouble in the Eastern Palace had already spread throughout Mingdu. The crown prince Xu Tianran was inexplicably called a eunuch by his own brother. Although no one dared to talk about it openly, he had already become a laughing stock among countless people in secret.

However, after the emperor and Xu Tianyuan arrived, the Soul Master Corps sealed off the East Palace, and they had no idea what happened after that.

"Oh, just some small things. If the hall master wants to know, I will tell you everything I know." Yuwen Tuo smiled and told the two of them everything that happened in the Eastern Palace.

Although he promised the emperor not to tell, what did the emperor mean to him?
"You...you killed Shadow Douluo Xuechen?" Meng Hongchen covered her mouth in surprise. Although she had never seen Xuechen, she had heard of him. He was an old senior who had been famous for many years.

His fame lasted much longer than her grandfather's.

"Yes, it's just a small matter. I'm tired and want to go back to my room to sleep. Good night, Master, Xiaomeng!" Yuwen Tuo yawned and waved to the two of them.

He was indeed a little tired during this period.

"Oh, Your Highness..." Meng Hongchen was about to stop Yuwen Tuo, but his grandfather held his shoulders.

Jing Hongchen shook his head at her, "Don't worry, Your Highness has his own thoughts."

Obviously, the hall master had gone astray again. Like Xu Tianyuan just now, he subconsciously guessed the purpose of Yuwen Tuo's actions.

It must be a preparation for the succession.

Now that the secrets of Eunuch Xu Tianran have been revealed, his own power and background are on display.

If Jing Hongchen guessed correctly, Yuwen Tuo would definitely ask for permission in the court tomorrow, hoping that the emperor would assign him some tasks so that he could accumulate more merits and fame.
