Chapter 245 Xu Tianran ascends the throne Wang Nan is not stupid. Although they were just talking about some past events, he could guess what Xu Jiujiu meant. There is no doubt that Xu Jiujiu is excellent in terms of family background and appearance. Moreover, as a princess, Xu Jiujiu could say such words, which was probably also the intention of Xu Jiawei, the emperor of the Xingluo Empire. If Wang Nan goes with the flow, he might be able to accomplish something good. By then, he would have both power and beauty in his hands. It’s a pity that Wang Nan didn’t have such an idea. On the other side, Xu Jiujiu had already been a long distance away from Wang Nan's room, but she felt that her heart had not completely calmed down, and the temperature on her face was a little higher than usual. Xingluo Empire investigated Wang Nan's past and had a general understanding of his character. He was never a greedy person, but she still said a few more words. Even though Xu Jiawei was behind her, she really had this idea. When one's cultivation reaches the level of Titled Douluo, his perception has already merged with the heaven and earth. Even if other soul masters with insufficient cultivation are wearing soul guides that can shield their mental power, a Titled Douluo with outstanding perception can still roughly perceive the mental fluctuations of other soul masters. Wang Nan possesses the power to rival the Ultimate Douluo, and Xu Jiujiu does not dare to underestimate his perception and deceive him with lies. After all, as a princess of a country, Xu Jiujiu has no freedom to do these things. She is grateful to Wang Nan for saving her life. For her, Wang Nan is also a good choice, no, or a very good choice.
Just as Xu Jiujiu was about to return to her residence, a mysterious aura quietly appeared beside her. Sensing the fluctuations around him, Xu Jiujiu's face suddenly changed and he took a deep breath to calm himself down. "what's up?" A figure slowly emerged from the darkness. The figure glanced at Xu Jiujiu's expression, then lowered his head, his lips moved slightly, and a low voice sounded in Xu Jiujiu's ears. "An insider reported that the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire has passed away, and Crown Prince Xu Tianran is about to ascend the throne." "What?" Xu Jiujiu frowned when he heard that. Although Xu Tianran is in charge of government affairs because the Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire has been bedridden for a long time, there is a difference between the Crown Prince and the Emperor after all. The Royal Dragon Soul Mentor Group in the Sun-Moon Empire's Protectorate is led by Prince Xu Tianyuan of the Sun-Moon Empire. Since Xu Tianyuan had always maintained a neutral attitude on the throne, even though Xu Tianran was the regent as the crown prince, the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Group had never officially joined the battlefield. Once Xu Tianran succeeds to the throne, the power of the entire Sun Moon Empire, including Mingde Hall, will be under his control. With his warlike character, the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Group will definitely be deployed to the front line, and the army will also increase significantly. This is not good news for the three empires. “Is the news credible?” "Confer the Gods." The figure hidden in the dark said only two words. Xu Jiujiu understood that "Fengshen" referred to the soul engineer who had built the Fengshen platform to seal the 100,000-year soul beast. As a ninth-level soul engineer, his status was not low in the Sun-Moon Empire, so his information was absolutely reliable. "You must quickly bring this news to Xingluo City." "Yes." Xu Jiujiu felt that the person beside him had disappeared nearby. He sighed and turned to walk towards the main hall. Although it was already night, Duke Dai Hao of White Tiger did not rest, and the light of the soul guide was still on in the main hall. At the same time, in Mingdu, inside the mourning hall of the imperial palace, a huge coffin was placed inside, incense burners were lit around it, and smoke was rising. Xu Tianran was kneeling in front of the coffin. The wide mourning clothes covered his lower body and also wrapped his legs made of soul guides. Juzi was standing nearby, with a bulging belly. "Your Highness, the head of Hongchen Hall is here."
A guard behind him came forward and spoke in a low voice. "Please let him in." Xu Tianran said, and then turned to look at Ju Zi, "You should go back to the palace and rest. I'm sure that the spirit of the emperor in heaven would not want to see you staying here while carrying 'our' child." When Xu Tianran mentioned this, there was finally a slight change in Juzi's calm eyes, but she quickly concealed her expression. "The war situation is not going well at the front. Juzi cannot go to the front to help Your Highness. I can only stay here to accompany Your Highness." "It's okay. The Holy Spirit Church is not on the same page with us, and I have never thought of relying on them to unify the Douluo Continent. As long as I ascend to the throne, the imperial army can attack with all their might. Once we conquer Shrek City, the Holy Spirit Church... humph!" Xu Tianran snorted coldly, and then his expression quickly became gentle, "Right now, protecting the baby in your belly is the greatest help to me." "Yes, Orange understands." Orange seemed not to notice the change in Xu Tianran's expression and just nodded. "Well, go back and rest." Juzi slowly stepped back, turned around after a few steps, and passed by Jing Hongchen who had just entered the mourning hall. Xu Tianran's eyes moved, and two lines of tears rolled down his face. Seeing this, Jing Hongchen could only bow and salute, "Your Highness, I express my condolences." "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Master Hongchen." Xu Tianran raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, then turned back to look at Jing Hongchen, "How is the matter that I asked you to investigate going?" "Reporting to Your Highness, after the news of His Majesty's death spread, the princes did not take any action, but..." "Just what?" Xu Tianran's face turned cold, and the sadness that had just remained on his face had disappeared completely. Jing Hongchen took a look and quickly lowered his head. He had been in contact with Xu Tianran for quite a while and had some understanding of his character. Ever since he was injured and lost both legs, Xu Tianran's already moody personality has become even worse. Although he was just crying for the late emperor, he probably doesn't have much feelings for the royal family in his heart. I don’t know whether it is a good thing for the Sun-Moon Empire for such a person to ascend to the throne. Jing Hongchen had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he still answered Xu Tianran's words just now, "There seems to be a prince who has some connections with the three empires." "A traitor." Xu Tianran's voice was somewhat cold. "Xingluo, Douling, and the half-dead Tianhun, who are they?" "It should be the Xingluo Empire." After a long silence, Xu Tianran finally spoke again, "I understand, you can leave now." …… A few days later, in the early morning, the sun had not yet risen completely and the Tianling City was still a little cold. The soldiers on duty on the top of the city were looking in the direction of the Sun and Moon Empire in the distance. The next moment, a dazzling light appeared, as if another sun was rising rapidly from the horizon. A shrill alarm sounded in Tianling City, and a layer of light shield rose up, but the next moment, with a loud bang, a gap suddenly appeared in the wall of Tianling City. (End of this chapter)
