Douluo Jueshi: Who made him a soul mentor?

After praying, Xu Tianran went to the study and asked the captain of the guard, "Has Ju Zi been found?"

The captain of the guard heard Xu Tianran's words and thought to himself, "Since the First Prince was stripped of his position as Crown Prince, many forces have severed ties with him.

Those who were willing to help the First Prince in the past are now unwilling to lend a hand.

Those who used to give face are now unwilling to do so, and coupled with the deep waters of Mingdu, the search is too difficult, and the men under my command are unwilling to do it.

This has led to the fact that Ju Zi has not been found yet, but if I say it directly—it will inevitably provoke the First Prince and anger him, and it would be bad if he vents his anger on me, so I have to think of an excuse to shirk responsibility and muddle through."

The captain of the guard cupped his hands and saluted, saying, "This subordinate has sent people to keep a close watch on the major transportation routes and checkpoints in Mingdu,

and at the same time, centered on the mansion, searching in all directions, but Ju Zi's shadow has not been found.

This subordinate suspects that someone is secretly helping Ju Zi, assisting her in leaving Mingdu or providing her with shelter. This subordinate is incompetent, please punish me, Your Highness."

Hearing that Ju Zi had still not been found after so many days, Xu Tianran couldn't help but frown. He was very clear that the longer the time passed, the lower the probability of finding her became.

Especially the captain of the guard's suspicion, which made Xu Tianran believe that his previous guess was correct.

Otherwise, how could Ju Zi, a mere maidservant, have escaped his investigation without anyone's help?

Someone must be secretly supporting Ju Zi. This also proves that Ju Zi is colluding with outsiders to spread rumors,

betraying him.

Xu Tianran gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "I shouldn't have been soft-hearted because Ju Zi saved me back then,

and let Xu Tianyuan, the head of the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Group, save her life. I should have just thrown her in the suburbs and let her die and feed the dogs.

In that case, no one would know the news that I am impotent, and my position as Crown Prince would not have been abolished. I wouldn't have fallen to this point today."

For a time, Xu Tianran felt as if his heart was being twisted, secretly despising his initial womanly kindness and lack of ruthlessness.

Xu Tianran reflected on himself, waved his hand to the captain of the guard, and said, "I understand. Since you can't find her, then don't look for her anymore.

Go directly to the underground black market to issue a wanted order, offering a reward of five million gold soul coins, plus a piece of thousand-year soul bone, I want her life!"

"Yes, this subordinate takes his leave." The captain of the guard saw that he had fooled Xu Tianran, and immediately saluted and took his leave.

Outside Mingdu, in the eastern district, in an ordinary small house.

A beautiful woman with exquisite features, a slender figure, and fair skin that was pinkish and tender, as if water could be squeezed out of her, was thinking in the bedroom of the house.

This woman was Ju Zi. After Ju Zi took refuge in Xu Tianran, she discovered that Xu Tianran was a cold and ruthless person, not a good person at all.

Therefore, she had prepared a new identity and a place to stay early on, in case of emergency, and now running away came in handy.

Xu Tianran's henchmen had searched all the people who had settled and rented houses in recent days, fortunately, she bought this house early, otherwise, she might have been found already.

As for why Xu Tianran didn't search house by house, it was naturally because Mingdu had too many people, and searching house by house would take forever.

Especially since Mingdu was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, with many officials, nobles, and strong people, searching these people's homes was not easy.

Even if only the people who had settled and rented houses in recent days were checked, Xu Tianran's subordinates encountered many tough nuts to crack.

Ju Zi lay on the bed, with a pensive look on her face, she clearly knew that hiding here was not a long-term solution,

even if she wouldn't be discovered in a short period of time, it would be hard to say after a long time.

Although Xu Tianran's position as Crown Prince had been abolished, his power was still not small. If she wanted to leave Mingdu, some necessary transportation routes had his people, and if she wanted to pass through these transportation checkpoints to leave Mingdu, she would inevitably be discovered.

She was a soul master with a cultivation level of forty-one, and Xu Tianran knew her cultivation level. When passing through the checkpoints, once the soul power detector shone on her, exposing her forty-one level soul power, she would definitely be strictly checked.

Ju Zi thought to herself, "I need to find another force to join. Only in this way can I get rid of Xu Tianran's pursuit."

Ju Zi thought about what force she should join. First of all, to avoid Xu Tianran's pursuit, she must hide in a force that was hostile to Xu Tianran.

In this way, Xu Tianran's forces and henchmen would not be able to enter, and her safety would be guaranteed.

Ju Zi believed that as long as she could join a new force, with her intelligence and wisdom, she would definitely be able to seize the opportunity to rise again and gain the trust of the new force.

Just like she had once seized the opportunity to risk her life to save Xu Tianran. If it weren't for the rumor that Xu Tianran was impotent spreading throughout Mingdu, making Ju Zi feel the danger, she wouldn't have left the Crown Prince's mansion.

No sooner said than done, Ju Zi got up from the bedroom, put on makeup, dressed up, transformed into a fair-looking woman in her twenties, and walked out of the room.

Time flew by, and a day passed.

Early morning, Wang Chen's house.

Wang Chen slowly opened his eyes from the bed. After a night of rest, he was now full of energy, full of spirit, and had inexhaustible strength.

After waking up, Wang Chen's first thing was to put the Ring Detonation Secret Technique into the second crystal imprint of the Black Book for targeted deduction.

The direction of the deduction was to reduce the cooldown time of the Ring Detonation. The twelve-day cooldown time was too long. If he encountered a strong enemy again within twelve days, it would be extremely deadly.

A moment later, Wang Chen slowly opened his eyes, frowning tightly. He failed, no, to be precise,

the direction of his targeted deduction was not accurate enough.

Wang Chen stretched out his palm, and soul rings with several huge openings appeared from his body. After a night of recovery, Wang Chen's soul rings had recovered somewhat, and he could already use soul skills appropriately.

However, from the appearance of the soul rings, it could be clearly seen that it would take a lot of time for these large openings to completely recover.

If the Ring Detonation Secret Technique was used again during this period, then it would not be as simple as opening a few large openings,

but the soul ring would be completely shattered.

The essence of the twelve-day cooldown time of the Ring Detonation was the recovery time of the damaged soul ring. If the Ring Detonation was used continuously in a short period of time, it would cause the soul ring to be truly damaged, bringing huge backlash and trauma to the soul master.

The reason why Wang Chen's Soul Detonation cooldown time was shorter than the Haotian Sect's Ring Detonation Secret Technique cooldown time.

was because his Ring Detonation Secret Technique, after being deduced and perfected by the Black Book, was able to release all the energy in the soul ring in a way that caused less damage to the soul ring.
