Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 366 Death Comes
"Isn't it a bit risky for you to do this?"

In a hotel in Mingdu City, Lin Xiao was sitting at a table when Electrolux's voice rang out from his mental sea.

“Teacher, I need a lot of faith, and using imperial means is the most effective way. It’s worth taking some risks for this.”

"But having just experienced the Holy Spirit Cult incident, the people of the Sun Moon Empire probably won't have a very good attitude towards the Tongming Cult."

"But it's also an opportunity for others to get to know the disciples of the Tongming Sect again. Back in the Elite Competition, before they knew the true identities of those disciples, didn't they cheer for them too?"

Electrolux was still somewhat worried, "If you spread the news about the Tongming Sect, it might attract a lot of evil spirit masters. You'll have to be careful to distinguish them then."

"Yes, I will, teacher." Lin Xiao nodded, then suddenly smiled as if he had thought of something. "It's better to let those people join my new 'Evil Soul Master Cult' and operate under my nose than to let them harm people everywhere."

"Perhaps it will make that deity even more satisfied."

"Sigh." Electrox sighed softly, and after thinking for a moment, he did not try to persuade him further. He knew what Lin Xiao was facing. How could he not take any risks when a mortal was fighting against a god?

Outside the window, it was still some time before dawn. Lin Xiao stood up as she pondered.

Although Ju Zi was a woman, she was quite ambitious, and she ultimately made her final choice. She did not want to leave the Sun Moon Empire in anonymity; what she wanted to do was become the true master of that palace, and even the Sun Moon Empire.

Lin Xiao also learned a lot during his conversation with Ju Zi.

The best news is that the war between the Sun Moon Empire and the three great empires is tense. Most of the titled Douluo in the Sun Moon Empire have been sent to the front line. Only Kong Deming, who has been by Xu Tianran's side and has not made many moves, is the most troublesome.

If Lin Xiao hadn't seen the orange, he wouldn't have known that because of the extended border, the Sun Moon Empire's army could no longer easily break through the defenses of the three great empires as before.

No wonder Tang Ya and her group were able to escape from Tian Dou City and flee all the way to the far north. The garrison in Tian Dou City was probably stretched thin and couldn't send many men to track them down.

As for what Ju Zi wanted to accomplish... Lin Xiao wasn't particularly skilled at matters of the imperial court, but he did have some experience in combat.

However, before that, we still need to convert the materials we have into combat power.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao walked to the window and glanced outside. Then he closed the window, and several illusory figures emerged from his body and drifted to different places. A wisp of emerald light appeared in his hand.

A month or so passed in the blink of an eye. Inside the Mingdu Imperial Palace, in a quiet room, Xu Tianhe was sitting at the table enjoying a sumptuous meal.

During this time, he stayed in the palace and did not go out. Every meal was quite luxurious, but he did not pay much attention to the food in front of him.

Ever since that brief encounter with Ju Zi, the image of his sister-in-law had remained etched in his mind. Thinking about the arrangements made by Xu Tianran, even the food in front of him tasted rather bland.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"

When the knocking sounded, Xu Tianhe immediately stood up and opened the door without even wiping the grease off his mouth.

"Royal sister-in-law." Seeing the oranges appear outside the door, Xu Tianhe swallowed hard, feeling his heart beat faster.

"Hmm." Orange nodded, a smile appearing on her face. "How was your meal, Your Highness?"

"Very good, the food in the palace has always been excellent." Xu Tianhe said, then quickly stepped aside, "Please come in, Your Majesty's sister-in-law."

Ju Zi didn't stand on ceremony and gracefully walked into the room, while Xu Tianhe behind her greedily sniffed the lingering fragrance in the air.

"Royal brother, have you been satisfied with the hospitality these past few days?" Upon hearing this, Xu Tianhe glanced at the maids behind Ju Zi, blushed slightly as if he had thought of something, and then nodded repeatedly.

"Your Majesty... Your Highness, what should we do now..."

Ju Zi turned to look at Xu Tianhe, still smiling, but in Xu Tianhe's eyes, it seemed a little strange.

Before he could think it through, a wave of dizziness washed over him, and he felt his vision go black. In the instant before he collapsed, he saw only the cold glint of the blade in Orange's hand under the illumination of the soul tool.

"Let the imperial physician in," Ju Zi called out towards the door, tossing aside the blood-stained dagger in her hand with a hint of disgust. She then took the handkerchief handed to her by a maid, wiped her hands, and seemed slightly lost in thought.

Although Lin Xiao had been informed in advance, for some reason, he still hadn't made a move at this point, and the palace was eerily quiet.

"Your Majesty, the imperial physicians are all ready."

The sounds around her brought Ju Zi back to her senses. She remained silent as she returned to her bedchamber with the imperial physician. Looking at the cold instruments that had been prepared, she finally felt a little nervous.

Meanwhile, in the study, Xu Tianran was unusually not dealing with memorials. As his legs, guided by his soul tool, pounded the ground, he paced back and forth in the room, his face extremely gloomy.

The reason Ju Zi was kept in the palace for so long and so much effort was to help her recuperate, naturally so that she could give birth to an heir for the Sun Moon Empire. Xu Tianran knew in his heart that this was the only chance.

The royal family of the Sun Moon Empire uses the sun as their inherited martial soul, while Xu Tianran's martial soul is the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, which is different from the sun.

This was both his good fortune and his misfortune, because it would be even more difficult for Ju Zi to give birth to a child with the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul.

He lost everything in that assassination attempt, and his brothers who shared the same martial spirit were all gone after tonight.

Xu Tianran slammed his hand on the table, walked to the window, and looked towards the direction of the inner palace.

However, he didn't see the situation in the harem at that glance; instead, he saw a red light rising from the horizon.

In the inner palace, the imperial physician stood bent over by the orange bed, large beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, but he never dared to raise his head.

"Your Majesty, this is His Majesty's arrangement. Time is of the essence, so please..."

The imperial physician kept advising her, but Ju Zi remained motionless, her hands clenching slightly, as if waiting for something.

"boom--"

Finally, the imperial physician's voice was abruptly interrupted by a loud bang, and the entire palace shook violently as if an earthquake had struck.

Orange suddenly stood up, walked to the window, and saw that the outside was already a dark red.

A piercing alarm rang throughout the palace, then spread to the entire capital. Several beams of light soared into the air and looked towards the palace. In the distance, a dark red tower floated in the air and spun around.

"Tower of Death?"

"Ye Xishui?"

Several surprised voices rang out in unison.
