Chapter 173 Silver Dragon Awakens In the Imperial City of Mingdu in the Sun-Moon Empire, a broad-bodied old man was walking hurriedly in the corridor. Led by the guards, he turned a few corners and came to a room. "Your Highness, the Red Dust Hall Master has arrived." "come in." "Yes." The guard stepped back and stretched out his right hand to the old man, "Master, please." Although he was just a guard, anyone who could be by the side of Crown Prince Xu Tianran was certainly not an ordinary person. Jing Hongchen nodded at him and then pushed the door open. "The hall master is here. Please forgive me for being injured and unable to get up." Xu Tianran said with a smile, seeming to be unconcerned about his injuries. "I dare not." Jing Hongchen spoke quickly. This was not the first time he had come into contact with this prince, and Jing Hongchen knew Xu Tianran very well. "Master, please take a seat. Did the person I introduced to you cause you any trouble?" "No, that child is very smart and talented in making soul guides." "How are the two grandchildren of the hall master doing these days?"
"Your Highness, thank you for your concern. My two useless grandsons were hit hard in the last Fighting Spirit Competition and are preparing for next year's Elite Competition." "The Elite Competition is a competition for the entire Douluo Continent. We, the Sun Moon Empire, cannot lose face over this. How are the things prepared for the competition?" "Mingde Hall is working day and night to speed up the construction. Your Highness can rest assured." "I trust Hall Master Hongchen. I summoned you to the palace for another matter." Xu Tianran said as he picked up a few pieces of letter paper from the desk. With a light wave of his right hand, the papers flew up and headed towards Jing Hongchen. As soon as Jing Hongchen raised his hand, the force on the papers dissipated and fell gently into his hands. Jing Hongchen's eyes moved slightly, but he quickly suppressed his thoughts and focused his gaze on the letter paper in front of him. Soon, his eyes widened slightly. "Is this a letter from Shrek Academy?" "That's right. Shrek Academy sent a letter, asking us to discuss the issue of soul masters not attacking ordinary people without reason." "This letter appeared in front of the emperor today, but the emperor is old, so these matters are now under my full responsibility." Jing Hongchen read the letter again, and then slowly spoke, "Soul masters don't attack ordinary people. Although no one has explicitly proposed it before, almost all soul masters tacitly accept this principle. I wonder why Shrek brought it up at this time?" After thinking for a moment, Jing Hongchen spoke again, "Could it be that they noticed something over there?" "Hmph, a bunch of hypocrites." Xu Tianran snorted coldly, "I'm afraid our actions have been known to them." "Recently, news has come from all over the country that many Holy Spirit Church strongholds have been destroyed. This group of idiots has been completely exposed. I'm afraid Shrek is also testing the relationship between us and the Holy Spirit Church." "Then your Highness means..." "Of course we agree." Xu Tianran narrowed his eyes, revealing a bit of sinisterness. "I'll have to trouble Master Hongchen to talk to the people at Shrek about this matter. If the Sun-Moon Empire wants to unify the continent, it must not be tied to an evil soul master's organization." Jing Hongchen was speechless and just listened quietly. What Xu Tianran said was not false. Even they had many things they disliked when they cooperated with the Holy Spirit Church. Once their news was made public, how many people would still support the Xu family? Shrek's proposal, no matter what the Sun Moon Empire thinks, for the sake of face, they have to talk to them. "But if so, the Holy Spirit Church..." "They are just a bunch of evil soul masters who are not worthy of being on the stage." Xu Tianran said, glancing at Jing Hongchen, "The foundation of my Sun Moon Empire still depends on Mingde Hall."
"Your Highness, thank you for your compliment." Jing Hongchen stood up quickly, "Your Highness, I will go back and prepare." "Thank you for your hard work, Hall Master." Xu Tianran watched Jing Hongchen leave the room, his eyes narrowed slightly and his expression became serious. Although he spoke to Jing Hongchen in a relaxed manner, Xu Tianran still read a lot from these simple pieces of letter paper. Shrek has known about the preparations over the years. The three empires have already grasped the movements of the Sun-Moon Empire and are preparing for war. The content of this letter is probably also a prelude to the subsequent war. Moreover, the soul master's decision not to attack ordinary people was also a restriction on the Holy Spirit Church. Once the content of the conversation between Jing Hongchen and Shrek Academy was leaked, no matter how they expressed their views, the Holy Spirit Church would definitely feel alienated. Warnings, temptations, and even a few moments of separation. Xu Tianran looked at the pieces of letter paper that Jing Hongchen had left on the table. Suddenly, he clenched his hands tightly and his face became ferocious. "What a Shrek!" After a moment, he calmed down again and put his clothes in order, "Someone, go and bring Juzi into the palace." …… In the Star Dou Great Forest, at the bottom of the Lake of Life, although several months have passed, Wang Nan does not feel tired at all. Most of the power released from the Gold of Living Things was used to heal the Silver Dragon King, but some of it still entered Wang Nan's body. With this power, he also increased his soul power by one level during meditation. Now he is at level 84. Wang Nan closed his eyes. About one-fifth of the living gold around him had disappeared. At this moment, a huge pressure gradually appeared above his head. The gold of life flowing around him no longer entered the Silver Dragon King's body. After circling around, it returned to Wang Nan. Looking up, he saw a giant silver-white dragon slowly appearing, with colorful light shining around it. The moment it appeared, Wang Nan suddenly felt that the various attributes of the heaven and earth energy around him suddenly became active. The silver dragon circled, shining brightly, illuminating the entire bottom of the Lake of Life. As Wang Nan watched, the giant dragon gradually shrank and turned into a graceful human figure, with silver hair like silver crystal draped behind her to her ankles, covering her body. Even Wang Nan was slightly stunned at this moment. Her appearance can no longer be described as "beautiful". As the other half of the Dragon God, it can even be said that all the soul masters and soul beasts in the entire Douluo Continent have been influenced by her. Regardless of whether they are of the same species or not, the moment they see her, they have a clear definition of the word "beauty" in their hearts. This is no longer an influence on vision, but a natural sense of closeness between soul masters and soul beasts to the source of their own power. Through the clear water of the Lake of Life, Wang Nan could see her slightly pale skin, her long eyelashes moving slightly, and her pair of purple eyes looking at Wang Nan. "Thank you." His lips moved slightly, and Wang Nan's ears heard the cold voice that he often heard during this period. (End of this chapter)
