Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 378 An Unexpected Gain

Qian Renxue had no interest in who the emperor of the Sun and Moon Palace was. It didn't matter if the crown prince she met back then wasn't Xu Tianran, as long as he could be used by her.

"Sun Goddess, things are a bit unsettled in those cities in the southern part of the empire," Xu Tianran said. "Are you aware of this?"

Qian Renxue's eyes darted around: "Isn't your Ju Zi in charge of things over there? Why are you coming to me instead of her when something happens?"

"Ju Zi is relatively new to this kind of thing, and I'm worried she might do something wrong. Why don't you go and check on her?" Xu Tianran asked tentatively.

Qian Renxue retorted directly, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

The call was then immediately disconnected.

"Beep beep beep—" Xu Tianran stared blankly at the disconnected soul communication, and immediately wilted.

He had originally hoped to get some information from the Sun Goddess about her attitude towards the Sun Moon Empire. But this guy didn't give him a single chance to get any information.

Now, under the names of the Sun Temple and the Silver Moon Temple, her influence and that of her new forces within the Sun and Moon Empire are growing ever stronger.

Xu Tianran's suspicious nature resurfaced, but the key issue was that he couldn't directly express his feelings because the Spirit Hall and the State Religion were different.

Recalling the various exchanges between himself and Qian Renxue, as well as the game hidden beneath those exchanges, the other party always showed an attitude of "I can't be bothered with your little schemes."

He also sent people to investigate Qian Renxue, but they couldn't find anything useful. This person seemed like a mysterious figure who had suddenly appeared on the Douluo Continent. Thus, he had a bad but bold guess in his mind: that it was a legend from ten thousand years ago, which sent chills down his spine.

How could he possibly confront a legendary figure? Xu Tianran's expression was as if he had eaten wasabi.

Moreover, and most importantly, because of the Spirit Hall's various actions, the Emperor and the Imperial Court have expressed their support. He is still officially the Crown Prince, but he is more like a mouthpiece.

Bear with it, bear with it.

Qian Renxue could naturally guess Xu Tianran's little scheme. If she didn't teach him a lesson, he might cause her some more trouble.

However, an opportunity has just presented itself.

Currently, in the southern part of the Sun Moon Empire, there are four cities used to accommodate refugees, named Luyang City, Wangjiang City, Hongguang City, and Yulin City. These four cities are not far from Moonshadow City, where the Silver Moon Temple is located, situated in the central area between Moonshadow City and the border.

Not long ago, she asked Teacher Ye Xishui to go and take a look over there, because even though the people who escaped had gone through layers of screening, there would definitely be some people with ulterior motives who would sneak in.

In addition, Shrek Academy's counterattack methods included using the weak influence of Blue Silver Grass to plant something similar to a small curse, which made her feel that there would definitely be people who still had illusions about Shrek and would turn against them in the future.

However, the main force of the Shadow Palace is currently mostly located in the southern part of the continent. These high-ranking members of the Shadow Palace are confidants of Bone Dragon Douluo. They successfully assassinated some spies planted by the Star Luo Empire in the Sun Moon region, although they paid a price for it.

"Get this done as soon as possible, and then start preparing the attack plan." Qian Renxue pondered. "Most importantly, we need to keep the east in chaos. The two new empires in the south are still at war. According to the information sent back by the Bone Dragon, Shrek Academy can't directly stop the war. But they will probably choose to support Dai Hao's Shinra Empire in secret."

"Never mind that for now." Qian Renxue's eyes flashed. "Since a place where a ferocious beast inherits its legacy can't keep you busy, then focus on your main base."

Qian Renxue spent five days explaining the matters concerning the Sun Temple before leaving and heading to the southern part of the Empire.

When she arrived at the Silver Moon Temple, the dark clouds sensed her arrival and came out to greet her.

"Young Master." Wu Yun bowed slightly in greeting.

"No need for formalities." Qian Renxue waved casually and entered the Silver Moon Temple. "Didn't you say there were two Super Douluo accompanying you?" Qian Renxue sensed the surrounding aura and found that they didn't seem to be there.

"Begonia Douluo has already headed to the Mingdou Mountains; the battlefield is more suitable for her. Hummingbird Douluo was taken away by His Majesty, and I'm not entirely sure where they are. The three of us usually communicate with each other through special soul-guided communication, and we exchange information if anything comes up," Wu Yun said. "If Young Master wants to find them, I can contact them."

"No need, let them focus on their business. We'll meet when we have the chance." Qian Renxue sat down in the chair. "Let's talk about the recent developments first."

Wuyun immediately gave a report on the recent developments of the Silvermoon Temple.

Overall, it continues to develop steadily.

"Have there been any problems in those four cities?" Qian Renxue asked after listening.

"We've already established four subsidiary palaces in the four cities to oversee the situation there. Those who fled from the Star Luo Empire, as you instructed, have undergone martial spirit awakening after assessment. Miss Orange has also ordered the city lords there to open up some positions to help them adapt to the pace of life in the Sun Moon Empire as quickly as possible," Wu Yun said. "However—"

"There are still some undercover agents trying to make trouble. Under the surveillance of the Bone Dragon Shadow Palace, some were captured and some were killed."

Qian Renxue nodded slightly. These are special times, and there's not much time for appeasement. Kill when necessary, and don't try to use others to your advantage.

Ye Xishui should be over there now.

"Charge my flying soul tool. I need to go there myself." Qian Renxue took off her flying soul tool and baby bottle and handed them to Wuyun.

"Yes, that's perfect, young master, you can rest for a bit." Wu Yun took the things. "However, if you're in a hurry, how about I find you a new one?"

Qian Renxue nodded: "That's fine, I need to deal with this matter quickly."

After meditating and resting for half an hour, Qian Renxue took her new flying soul tool and headed to the area where the four cities were located. On the way, she met members of the Shadow Palace, who took her to Wangjiang City, where Ye Xishui was located.

"You're here." Ye Xishui saw Qian Renxue's figure. "I have something to tell you."

Ye Xishui was not in the Martial Soul Sub-Hall, but in a hotel.

"What's wrong?" Qian Renxue descended from the sky, concealing her presence as she entered the room where Ye Xishui was.

"This time, we found a fish that I think will be very helpful to you," Ye Xishui said mysteriously. "Wu Yun should have told you about the situation here, right?"

"Yes, I already told you." Qian Renxue asked curiously, "Who did you catch?"

"It doesn't count as catching them." Ye Xishui reached out and gently pushed against the wall next to her.

Ye Xishui had clearly modified the wall, which led directly to the next room. The two went inside together, and there was a figure sitting on the bed with lifeless eyes.

"You are..." Qian Renxue pondered for a moment, "Ling Luochen?"

The one who was caught was none other than Ling Luochen, the Ice Attribute Soul King she had encountered during the Star Luo City Soul Master Competition!

This is truly an unexpected gain. I originally thought there would only be spies from the Star Luo Empire, but it turns out they are from Shrek Academy.

"It's you. You really are in cahoots." Ling Luochen looked up and saw Qian Renxue.
