Douluo: Twins of Fate

Chapter 142 Becoming the Target of the Evil Soul Master
"Hello, Captain Jia!"

Jiang Shengyu and others greeted the middle-aged man in military uniform in front of them.

Captain Jia waved his hands repeatedly. He looked at Jiang Shengyu and said, "You are Tianyue Hou, right?"

"It's me." Jiang Shengyu nodded.

Captain Jia continued, "I've heard from His Majesty Fanxing about what's going on here. Marquis Tianyue is leading his men to eliminate the evil spirit masters. This is great! But... could you please tell us next time there's such an operation? Otherwise, it will be very difficult for us to do it!"

Seeing Captain Jia's slightly teasing tone, Jiang Shengyu nodded repeatedly: "I'm sorry, speed is of the essence in war, so I didn't have time to inform you. Next time, the next time we have an operation like this, we will definitely call you!"

"Then... it's best if this doesn't happen again in Mingdu, right?" Captain Jia blinked and said awkwardly, "As for His Majesty, I hope Marquis Tianyue and His Majesty Fanxing can come up with an explanation!"

As the patrol captain of the Mingdu garrison, Captain Jia holds a high position, but the two people in front of him are a marquis and a titled Douluo, neither of whom he can afford to offend. It is better for him to stay out of such matters.

"Don't worry, we will! The teacher and the senior brother have already gone to explain to His Majesty." Jiang Shengyu nodded and told Captain Jia not to worry.

Hearing this, Captain Jia was completely relieved.

Those who knew of Kong Deming's existence would have no doubts about his status in the Sun-Moon Empire. If he came forward to explain, there would be nothing to worry about.

No wonder Tianyue Hou and Fanxing Douluo dared to make such a big fuss in Mingdu so openly. Fanxing Douluo even took out a powerful weapon like the Starlight Sky Mirror. It turned out that they had the support of Yinyue Douluo Kong Deming behind them.

This is not surprising, this is not surprising.

After sending Captain Jia away, Old Hong said to Jiang Shengyu, "How's it going? Have you resolved the following issues?"

Jiang Shengyu nodded and said, "Yes, it's all resolved. In order to make it easier for His Majesty to speak, we also preserved some evidence."

"You kid, you're so cunning!" Upon hearing this, Old Master Hong smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go! You and Nana will go to the palace with me to see the emperor. Everyone else, go back and rest!"

"Okay!" Jiang Shengyu nodded.

Inside the palace, Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen sat at the first seats on the left and right respectively, while the emperor sat on the dragon throne. This was not a formal court meeting, so the only people here besides them were some servants and the emperor's guards.

Crown Prince Xu Tianran came here with Jiang Shengyu and others. They met in the corridor and came in together.

"The prince is here too?" the emperor asked when he saw Xu Tianran coming in.

Xu Tianran nodded and said, "I heard something happened in Mingdu and was worried about your health, so I came to see you."

"I'm fine."

The emperor shook his head and waved Xu Tianran aside. His gaze fell on Jiang Shengyu and the others below. A sharp look flashed through his old eyes. He asked, "Marquis Tianyue, you said that place is the base of the evil spirit master. Where is the evidence?"

Although the emperor had no great ambitions, he was very sensitive to things that could shake his power. Whether it was the evil spirit master stronghold in Mingdu or Jiang Shengyu's actions this time, they actually touched his bottom line.

If Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen had not explained the situation to him first, the emperor would never have questioned Jiang Shengyu so calmly. He would probably have sent people to control Jiang Shengyu and the others first.

Jiang Shengyu had anticipated this situation. He asked Nana to display the collected evidence from the storage soul guide, and then said to the emperor: "Your Majesty can also send someone to check. The various traces underground are still there." Looking at the skull stained with evil aura in Nana's hand, the emperor frowned slightly. Xu Tianran stared at Jiang Shengyu with a gloomy expression.

After a long time, the emperor waved his hand.

"I understand! There's no need to keep these filthy things on display. Put them away! His Majesty Silver Moon and the Red Dust Hall Master have explained the whole story. I will not hold His Majesty Fanxing and Marquis Tianyue accountable for using a ninth-level soul guide to bombard Mingdu!"

Jiang Shengyu immediately asked Nana to put the things away, and took the opportunity to flatter her, "Your Majesty is wise!"

"but……"

The emperor looked at Jiang Shengyu and changed the subject, saying, "These evil soul masters have actually established their stronghold within Mingdu City. How audacious! Marquis Tianyue, I authorize you to completely eliminate the evil soul masters from Mingdu!"

The emperor wants to make Jiang Shengyu a target of the evil soul master.

Kong Deming said from the side: "Sheng Yu will go to Shrek Academy for exchange study in a while. Your Majesty should find someone else."

"It's okay, it will be the same when Marquis Tianyue comes back! I will prepare some things for you first. That's all, I'm a little tired." The emperor waved his hand and announced the end of this brief audience.

Watching the emperor leave surrounded by his guards, Xu Tianran came up to Jiang Shengyu and said to him, "Congratulations, Marquis Tianyue, for destroying the evil spirit master's stronghold. This is another great achievement!"

"Everyone has the responsibility to eradicate evil cults. Your Highness, there's no need to praise me."

Jiang Shengyu smiled and shook his head, then asked, "I believe that if His Royal Highness knew that there was an evil soul master base here, he would also clean them out, right? Your Royal Highness?"

Looking at the smile on Jiang Shengyu's face, Xu Tianran was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course! I have something else to do, so I won't bother you any more. Goodbye!"

After Xu Tianran left, Kong Deming walked up to Jiang Shengyu and said, "You should have informed the emperor before taking this action. At least you wouldn't be as passive as you are now, being pushed out as a target by the emperor."

"It doesn't matter. Evil soul masters are meant to be eliminated! I did it, and sooner or later I will become a thorn in the eyes and bones of those evil soul masters." Jiang Shengyu shook his head, not caring at all.

He has already been targeted by the leader of the evil soul masters, so why would he care if more evil soul masters target him?

"I will equip you with a few more ninth-level soul guides later. Not to mention ordinary evil soul masters, even if there are evil soul masters at the Extreme Douluo level, I can ensure your escape. Let's go." Kong Deming continued.

Jiang Shengyu smiled and said, "Thank you, teacher! How about a discount?"

"You little bastard, you deserve a beating!" Kong Deming knocked Jiang Shengyu on the head.

Xu Tianran returned to the East Palace from the conference hall. After entering his study, he dismissed his attendants and closed the door.

A figure emerged from the shadows like a ball of ink, walked up to Xu Tianran, and asked, "Did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know about Marquis Tianyue's actions in advance?"

Hearing this question, Xu Tianran frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Do you think I deliberately didn't tell you? I just found out about this! It's not like Jiang Shengyu would specifically report this to me!"

　I think many of the Sun Moon Empire's martial spirits are related to stars, such as the sun and the moon, and the Starry Sky Douluo.
