In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

Chapter 396 Tang San Finally Becomes an Evil Soul Master

In the sky, Lan Ji's figure flashed and appeared in front of Dai Tianfeng and Dugu Bo, with his back to them.

“Lan Ji…” Dai Tianfeng gasped in shock, finally uttering those two words. Although he had never met Lan Ji, he had looked at her portrait countless times. The moment he saw Lan Ji appear, Tong Kong immediately shrank back.

Dugu Bo remained silent, his heart leaping into his throat.

I will die. If Lan Ji discovers my identity, I will definitely die...

At this moment, in this lifetime, Dugu Bo realized that he had never been so afraid of anyone before.

"Protect the Emperor...protect the Emperor..." Seeing Lan Ji suddenly appear, the surrounding soldiers assumed he was about to harm Dai Tianfeng and raised their spears to attack him. However, the moment Lan Ji landed, he was swept away by a massive wave of soul power. Men and horses tumbled.

In the end, Dai Tianfeng was the first to react, and he spoke with difficulty, "Lan Ji, didn't your Tian Dou Empire come to sign an alliance with my Xing Luo Empire? Why did you suddenly attack?"

"The contract is only to be signed starting tomorrow. I'm here today only because someone wanted to kill my sister-in-law, and my wife wanted to save her. And you guys are going to attack my wife, so of course I have to stop you." Lan Ji shrugged slightly, looking at Dai Mubai, who had been punched by Zhu Zhuqing for half an incense stick's time but hadn't fallen yet, and said with an innocent expression.

“You…” Dai Tianfeng’s lips twitched. For a moment, he regretted it. If he had known this would happen, he shouldn’t have agreed to the competition between his two sons so quickly. In that case, Davis would not have died, and this embarrassing situation would not have occurred. He, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, was actually being looked down upon like this.

After about half a day, perhaps because she had vented her anger, Zhu Zhuqing kicked the unconscious Dai Mubai out of the training ground, and the latter embedded himself in the fortress wall like a cannonball.

Zhu Zhuqing then stopped and flashed back to Lan Ji's side.

At this moment, Lan Ji also released the oppressive aura emanating from Dai Tianfeng and the others. He immediately called to his subordinates, "Quick...quickly go and check on Mu Bai's condition!"

Now that Davis is dead, Dai Mubai absolutely cannot afford to lose him, otherwise the Star Luo Empire will be without a successor.

"Don't worry, I didn't kill him." Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Tianfeng, the man who had once filled her with fear, with a slightly complicated expression, and said coldly.

Lan Ji glanced casually in Dai Mubai's direction, took Zhu Zhuqing's hand, and said softly, "Zhuqing, why didn't you kill him?"

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and sighed, "He defeated Davis and will eventually become the successor to the next emperor of the Star Luo Empire. I cannot let my personal emotions ruin the alliance between the two countries."

The First Evolution

Seeing Davis's miserable state and Zhu Zhuyun's near-death experience, Zhu Zhuqing became even more determined to unify the continent. Otherwise, such tragedies would only continue to repeat themselves.

Lan Ji understood immediately, smiled slightly, took Zhu Zhuqing's hand, and walked towards Dai Tianfeng.

Meanwhile, Dai Tianfeng learned from his subordinates that Dai Mubai was not in mortal danger, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Lan Ji approaching, holding his future daughter-in-law's hand, he felt his face burning with embarrassment. "Is there anything else you wish to do, Your Excellency? Do you intend to beat up even the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire?"

"Your Majesty has misunderstood." Lan Ji smiled and gave Dugu Bo a meaningful glance, which startled the latter. He smiled slightly and said to Dai Tianfeng, "Just now I was acting as Zhu Qing's husband, but now I am acting as the Azure Emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire. Lan Ji greets Your Majesty."

As he spoke, Lan Ji gave Zhu Zhuqing a symbolic nod.

Upon hearing this, Dai Tianfeng's expression softened slightly. "Since Your Majesty is in the capacity of the Azure Emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire, then I welcome you."

At this point, he looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a slightly sour expression, "Zhu Tianhao has indeed raised a good daughter. Not only did she find him a good son-in-law, but she also became a Title Douluo at a young age. This generation of the Zhu family has truly brought glory to the family."

“Father…” Zhu Zhuqing’s body trembled as she recalled the image of her father, Zhu Tianhao. Come to think of it, it had been more than ten years since she had returned to the Zhu family.

Lan Ji didn't want to be led by the nose by Dai Tianfeng, so he said calmly, "Speaking of bringing glory to the family, His Majesty should be the first to be mentioned. He has just experienced the pain of losing his son, yet he can still remain so calm. This composure is worthy of the name of the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire."

That makes sense, though he just lost one son, he gained an even more outstanding Dai Mubai, which is truly something to celebrate.

That kid Dai Mubai... oh no, now I should call him His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the Crown Prince, he's not even thirty years old yet, and he's already advanced to Soul Saint, his future is limitless....”

Lan Ji's words were grating to Dai Tianfeng's ears, so his tone was not very good, "Hmph, I won't let the Emperor have any reason to be suspicious. I wonder when your Qinghe Emperor will arrive so we can discuss the alliance."

"Brother Xue is busy with official duties. Having only recently ascended the throne, he still needs to stabilize the Imperial Preceptor in the court. He has entrusted me with the entire authority to sign the alliance treaty," Lan Ji said with a light laugh.

“You…” Dai Tianfeng was somewhat stunned, and at the same time somewhat angry. He realized that the Tiandou Empire seemed to be disregarding his Xingluo Empire.

“Yes, that’s me.” Lan Ji narrowed his eyes slightly. “I was entrusted by Emperor Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire and was granted the title of Azure Emperor. I do not need to pay homage to the Emperor and can mobilize all the troops within the Heaven Dou Empire at will. I think Your Majesty would not think that I am not qualified to represent the Heaven Dou Empire in signing an alliance treaty with your country.”

After saying that, he added, "If Your Majesty feels that I am not qualified, then Zhu Qing and I will turn around and leave."

“Of course…you can…” Dai Tianfeng suppressed his anger and ordered his subordinates, “Someone, quickly prepare seats for the Emperor and his wife.”

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

Meanwhile, in the Starry Sky Forest.

"Damn it...who on earth hunted down the Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python...?"

After completing the seventh trial of the Rakshasa God, Tang San finally faced the eighth trial, which was also the only serious test.

[The Rakshasa God's eighth trial involves cultivating his Martial Soul to the ninth ring level, assisting teammate Dai Mubai in ascending the throne of the Star Luo Empire and launching a war to unify the continent.]

After nearly ten days of travel, Tang San finally arrived at the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, the Lake of Life, from Hanhai City.

He stood atop a towering tree on the shore of the Lake of Life, clad in black and wearing a bamboo hat. His head was slightly bowed, his eyes shrouded in shadow, which accentuated his complexion. Not far in front of him were the skeletons of two enormous soul beasts, one ape-shaped, the other rather strange, with a bull's head and a snake's body.

Without a doubt, they had all turned into stark white skeletons, leaving not a trace of soul power. The soul rings were gone, and the soul bones had long since been taken away.

Chapter 397 Lan Si's Trap

Just then, the voice of the Rakshasa Demon Scythe entered Tang San's mind, "Didn't you already guess?"

"Lan Ji..." Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared to the sky. In his rage, he blurted out his true feelings, "Damn it, that bastard, those two soul beasts should have belonged to me... mine..."

After venting for a good while, Tang San finally calmed down. "Demon Scythe, tell me quickly, how can I become stronger quickly..."

"That depends on whether you can be ruthless," said the Demon Scythe.

"I have nothing left to lose now." Tang San confessed. Xiao Wu is dead, his father is dead, his mother is dead, his teacher is dead... Now even the two great soul beast emperors of the Star Dou Great Forest have become Lan Ji's soul rings. Even if he obtains the Rakshasa God Trial, he doesn't know when he will truly become a god. He can't wait any longer.

"I believe you've also realized that after your and Dai Mubai's martial souls were baptized in the Rakshasa Mystic Realm, they can improve their strength through improper cultivation methods such as killing, bloodlust, and devouring, right?"

Tang San nodded slowly, his eyes suddenly lighting up. "You mean you want me to quickly increase my soul power by devouring other soul masters?"

"Heh heh... You're quite clever." Rakshasa Demon Scythe laughed, "But I must remind you, as far as I know, evil soul masters don't have a good reputation on this continent. In fact, if you appear, you'll be hunted down by all the soul beasts on the continent. This means you'll be completely on the opposite side of all soul masters, with no turning back."

"I'm afraid Mu Bai and I are already considered evil soul masters in the eyes of the soul master world of Douluo Continent. Do I still need to fear that word?" Tang San sneered and said, "As long as I can get revenge, what does it matter if I become an evil soul master?"

"The so-called evil soul master is just a way for the weak to belittle the strong. If I can improve my strength through endless killing, then what is there that I cannot give up?"

The Rakshasa God laughed, "Heh heh... As expected of a man who has earned my approval, I find you increasingly resembling an evil god. Well then, I wish you good luck. I hope you can live to become the Rakshasa God."

"I know what I'm doing." Tang San revealed a ferocious smile, his gaze fixed on the direction of the Western Killing Capital. Wasn't that where a large number of evil soul masters lived? Their blood was more effective than that of ordinary soul masters. He wouldn't have to worry about being ambushed by the soul master world, and his reputation wouldn't be damaged.

Before heading to the City of Slaughter, he needed to complete the soul rings for two of his martial souls. He also wanted to bring Dai Mubai along.

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

The next day, early morning.

The day has finally arrived for the alliance between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

To demonstrate the importance they placed on this alliance, the Heavenly Dou Empire dispatched an imperial carriage of the highest rank. Lan Ji and Zhu Zhuqing returned to their group early. They rode the imperial carriage to Tianxing Pass.

Lan Ji and Zhu Zhuqing alighted from the imperial carriage. Ye Lengleng also arrived, bringing with her A Qian and A Xue. Because Qian Renxue had other plans, the two little ones also came along. Following closely behind were the three members of the teaching committee from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

In addition, Dugu Yan also came, bringing Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin with her.

As the only two survivors of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, they rushed over after hearing that the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires were forming an alliance to fight against the Spirit Hall. They happened to encounter the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial carriage.

Because of their acquaintance with Lan Ji, and thanks to Lan Ji's help, the three of them joined the team, following at the back.

Upon the arrival of the imperial entourage, the gates of Tianxing Pass opened, and Emperor Dai Tianfeng of the Xingluo Empire, accompanied by his newly appointed crown prince Dai Mubai, came out to greet them.

When they saw Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lengleng holding two children in their arms, Dai Tianfeng and Dai Mubai's faces twitched violently. After the father and son had a long talk the night before, Dai Tianfeng already knew the general process of the Tiandou Palace coup, and also knew that Lan Ji had a blonde girlfriend in addition to Zhu Zhuqing.

They subconsciously assumed that Aqian, with her bright blonde hair, and Axue, with her icy blue hair, were Lan Ji's children with Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuqing, respectively.

Above the High Heavens

The Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire's fiancée married an outsider and had a child. Neither Dai Tianfeng nor Dai Mubai could tolerate this.

However, now that the two sides have officially joined forces, the father and son can only temporarily put aside their prejudices against Lan Ji.

"Lan Ji, the Azure Emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire, greets His Majesty the Star Luo Emperor," Lan Ji said, extending his hand as if nothing had happened yesterday.

Dai Tianfeng stepped forward and grasped Lan Ji's hand, tacitly avoiding mentioning yesterday's events. "Emperor Dai Tianfeng of the Star Luo Empire greets the Azure Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire!"

Lan Ji's status in the Heaven Dou Empire is comparable to Xue Qinghe's, and this time he is directly representing the Heaven Dou Empire. Therefore, it is not shameful for Dai Tianfeng to return the greeting.

And so, the two men, feigning politeness, ascended this strategically important pass together. Upon arrival, whether their intentions were genuine or feigned, they formally signed a treaty of cooperation between the two nations. If one side suffered war, the other would come to its aid, and the two sides would jointly defend against any third party.

After the treaty was signed, Lan Ji casually glanced around the room and chuckled, "What's wrong, Your Majesty? Didn't that Poison Douluo from yesterday come?"

“Oh… Poison Douluo is here… wait, how did you recognize him…?” Dai Tianfeng was somewhat taken aback.

"If one cannot even distinguish the aura of a person, then one is unworthy of being a Title Douluo. Your Majesty, rest assured, whether it is Tang San or the Old Poison Master, our most important enemy at present is the Spirit Empire. I will not make a move against them before the Spirit Empire is completely destroyed." Lan Ji laughed, "Let him come out. There is no need to hide anymore. It just so happens that his precious granddaughter came with us."

.......

Meanwhile, in Wuhun City.

Qian Renxue has completed the overall planning of the major kingdoms, the four lower sects, and the major soul master families, and has selected the seven new major sects of the world.

They are currently observing everything at Tianxing Pass through the angel's divine sense. Of course, Tang San, who also received divine inheritance, is not being overlooked either.

She transmitted her voice to Lan Ji over a long distance, saying, "Aji, everything is ready on the Spirit Empire's side. Tang San has fallen into the evil spirit master as you wished. After obtaining his spirit ring, he is planning to head over to your place to invite Dai Mubai to go to the Slaughter City together."

.........

"Then let the kid continue to fall into depravity. Next, we just need to wait for that guy to start a war," Lan Ji replied. His mental strength was now close to the level of a god. Although he was still inferior to Qian Renxue, who had already become a god, he could still transmit his voice thousands of miles away.

Just then, Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lengleng walked over carrying two children. "Aji, the old poisoner is here..."

Chapter 398 Tang San Returns

"Aji, the old poisoner is here," Zhu Zhuqing said to Lan Ji.

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw the old poison master reluctantly approaching, accompanied by Dai Tianfeng. His gaze was shifty, and he dared not meet Lan Ji's eyes. Dai Mubai followed closely behind.
