Douluo Jueshi: Who made him a soul mentor!

Chapter 54 Xu Tianran: Seeking External Aid

If it weren't for Orange, his head would have been blown apart by the assassin.

It was this kind of affection of risking his life to save someone that made Xu Tianran treat Juzi as his own confidant.

After Juzi entered the study, he bowed respectfully to Xu Tianran and said, "Your Highness."

Xu Tianran asked, "Juzi, you saved my life, there's no need to be so polite."

Juzi still maintained a respectful attitude. She knew Xu Tianran quite well. She knew that although Xu Tianran said so, he was extremely concerned about whether others were respectful, especially now that his position as crown prince was shaky.

Juzi pretended to be grateful and said to Xu Tianran, "Your Highness, Juzi does not deserve your treatment like this."

Xu Tianran raised a smile and then began to ask about the business, "Juzi, how is the doctor?"

Orange said seriously, "The doctor has silenced us."

Xu Tianran nodded. After the doctor treated him, he might find out that he was inhumane and had a physical disability, so he had to be silenced.

Otherwise, if the news gets out, his position as crown prince will definitely be taken away by his father.

Then, Xu Tianran continued, "Has the leader of the Xishui League met with you?"

Juzi nodded. "After I met with the leader of the Xishui League and had a conversation, I gave him the letter you gave me. After reading it, he said he would give you a reply in three days."

After hearing that a reply would be given in three days, Xu Tianran couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Xu Tianran knew clearly that if he wanted to keep his position as crown prince, he could not do it by relying solely on himself.

He suffered heavy losses in this assassination attempt. Not only were his legs disabled, but even the strength in his hands was greatly damaged. Two Soul Douluo warriors fell.

If he were to be honest, Xu Tianran was not sure that he could keep the position of crown prince from his wolf-like and ferocious brother.

Therefore he must seek external help!

The Holy Spirit Church behind the Xishui League is his first choice.

Xu Tianran knew that when his father was trying to usurp the throne, although he was extremely powerful and had the secret support of Confucius, he also needed the help of the Holy Spirit Church.

However, after taking the throne, my father was very wary of the Holy Spirit Church and had been secretly suppressing it to prevent its power from expanding too much and threatening the Sun-Moon Empire.

Therefore, the Holy Spirit Church can only exist as an underground force, and ordinary people don’t even know what the Holy Spirit Church is.

Xu Tianran touched his chin and thought to himself, "Now that the Holy Spirit Church is being suppressed by my father, it must need some help.

If that's the case, I might be able to reach an agreement with the Holy Spirit Church. With the Holy Spirit Church's help, my position as Crown Prince will surely be as secure as Mount Tai."

Xu Tianran said with satisfaction, "Juzi, you did a great job. Push me out to relax."

Juzi came behind Xu Tianran, pushed the chair, and led Xu Tianran towards the garden in the Prince's Mansion.

....................................

The headquarters of the Holy Spirit Church is located underground outside the Demonic Forest.

Nangong Wan, leader of the Xishui League and second elder of the Holy Spirit Church, immediately returned to the Holy Spirit Church headquarters after reading Xu Tianran's letter.

The content of the letter was that the prince wanted to cooperate with his Holy Spirit Church. Even he did not dare to make the decision on such a major matter on his own.

Even though he was the Second Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, the leader of the Xishui League, and a Titled Douluo, he couldn't even rank in the top ten of the Holy Spirit Cult.

The people with the highest status in the entire Holy Spirit Sect are the Supreme Sect Leader Ye Xishui and the Master of the Worship Hall Long Xiaoyao.

Both of these people have the cultivation level of ninety-nine level Douluo.

Further down is the Holy Spirit Sect leader Zhongli Wu and his wife, deputy leader Feng Ling.

Then there are the priests in the worship hall under Long Xiaoyao's command. These priests only obey the orders of Long Xiaoyao and the supreme leader Ye Xishui.

He doesn't even have to obey the orders of the leader Zhongli Wu and the deputy leader Feng Ling.

Below these people, it is the turn of the elders of the Holy Spirit Church.

The reason why Nangong Wan was able to serve as the leader of the Xishui League was because he was good at management and was also a ninth-level soul engineer. At the same time, he was in a stable state and was not consumed by evil thoughts and killing desires.

He has an excellent appearance and a handsome face. His white hair is neatly tied behind his head, and he has a kind and gentle smile on his face. You can tell at first glance that he is a good person.

Only such people are suitable for dealing with the major forces in Mingdu.

Otherwise, if he were to look like the other evil soul masters with murderous and evil looks on their faces, the forces in Mingdu would be afraid and it would be impossible to deal with him.

Soon, Xu Tianran's letter was delivered to Ye Xishui, the supreme leader of the Holy Spirit Sect.

As for the Holy Spirit Sect's leader, Zhongli Wu, well... although he was the leader, he had no say in the Holy Spirit Sect. He couldn't even command the sect's top fighters. It was like the Qianlong Emperor and the Jiaqing Emperor: as long as Qianlong was alive, Jiaqing was just a figurehead.

Ye Xishui opened the letter, took a look, and said coldly, "This Xu Tianran is somewhat similar to his father Xu Jing. They are indeed father and son, and they are truly of the same lineage. They both want to use my Holy Spirit Church."

Ye Xishui has a very bad impression of Xu Jing, the current emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire, although she helped Xu Jing because the previous emperor was cracking down on the Holy Spirit Church.

However, no matter what, if it weren't for the help of her Holy Spirit Church, Xu Jing might not be able to sit on the throne.

After Xu Jing ascended the throne, he nodded in agreement to her on small matters, and even asked Kong Deming to help her make the soul guide device, the Tower of Death (mentioned in the original novel).

But when it comes to major matters concerning the Holy Spirit Church as a whole, they all shake their heads and show no sincerity.

If she hadn't been wary of Kong Deming's formidable strength, and the terrifying power of the Sun-Moon Empire's five national protectors' soul guide groups' linked soul guides and the ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shells, she would have had to teach Xu Jing a lesson.

Ye Xishui's adopted son Zhongli Wu heard his mother's words and immediately asked curiously, "Mother, what does this letter say?"

Ye Xishui casually threw the letter into the hands of his son Zhongli Wu.

Zhongli Wu took the letter, read it carefully, and after a moment's thought, said, "Mother, my Holy Spirit Church has only recently established itself in the Sun-Moon Empire, and its foundation is not deep. Furthermore, it is being secretly suppressed by the Sun-Moon Empire's Emperor, Xu Jing, which is not conducive to the development of my Holy Spirit Church."

If we support Xu Tianran to ascend the throne, and then have him establish the Holy Spirit Church as the state religion, then the Holy Spirit Church will surely grow rapidly."

Ye Xishui thought about it and nodded, "Well, in that case, Wu'er, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Yes, mother."

Just when the Holy Spirit Church was planning to reach a cooperation with Crown Prince Xu Tianran.

A rumor quietly spread across Mingdu at an unexpectedly terrifying speed...
