Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 426 Requesting Father's Funeral

The titled Douluo immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness."

Then the person left immediately. As the current regent of Sun Moon, Xu Tianran naturally had loyal level nine soul masters under his command. Under the protection of these people, his safety could be guaranteed.

Of course, even if an incredibly powerful expert appears, he is not worried about his safety. After all, the Sun and Moon Imperial Palace has an extremely strong guardian these days, namely Long Xiaoyao, who will also take action to protect his safety as needed.

To be honest, if Ye Xishui hadn't been willing to cooperate with him, given Long Xiaoyao's personality, he wouldn't have come to protect him personally.

Of course, it's impossible for Long Xiaoyao, a Limit Douluo, to drive away just any Tom, Dick, or Harry. Generally speaking, Long Xiaoyao will only intervene if a powerhouse of the level of Du Busi or Xuanzi makes a move.

As for Kong Deming, to be honest, Xu Tianran didn't expect Kong Deming to protect him. Although Kong Deming had now become a level 10 Soul Master who was comparable to Limit Douluo and was extremely powerful, as the Lord of the Sun and Moon Offering Hall, Kong Deming had no intention of taking the throne for himself and would only stand on the side of the Sun and Moon Emperor.

Although he was the regent and held a great deal of power, he had not yet become the emperor, so he could not possibly receive Kong Deming's protection.

"However, with Elder Kong's current strength, if he had been guarding near Father Emperor just now, he would have been able to capture those thieves who attacked Father Emperor's residence. But according to the information I just received, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps went to suppress the thieves, which means that Elder Kong is not here."

"Perhaps Master Kong is currently in his laboratory working on soul-guided devices."

Xu Tianran's thoughts were churning, but he quickly came to his senses and had Ju Zi push his wheelchair to take him to his father's residence.

"Hahaha, just as I expected, all the Sun and Moon level experts have been attracted by us. Everyone, retreat with me as quickly as possible. The Sun and Moon level experts are definitely heading here. If we are surrounded by a group of experts, it will be troublesome." Elder Song's voice transmission rang in the minds of the group of black-robed men.

At this moment, Elder Song was quite pleased with herself. She felt that her plan was perfect. As long as the attention of the Sun and Moon Realm experts was drawn to her, the others could take this opportunity to escape.

Although she is currently being surrounded and intercepted by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps, she remains calm.

Although the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps is the strongest Soul Master Corps on the Sun Moon's surface, the members of this group are also quite strong, so escaping from the encirclement of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps is naturally not a difficult task.

Although the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps is the strongest Soul Master Corps, it must possess a powerful weapon like the Level 9 Fixed-Equipment Soul Guidance Cannon.

However, you should know that this is the Sun and Moon Imperial Palace.

If a powerful weapon like a level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon is used, it could very likely hit important personnel in the Sun Moon Imperial Palace. Even though the Sun Moon Imperial Palace has level-nine defensive soul-guided devices, the palace is so large that there are not level-nine defensive soul-guided devices everywhere.

Those important personnel will not stay obediently in places protected by level nine defensive soul tools every day.

Inside the palace, Xu Tianran sat in a wheelchair, looking at the unconscious Sun and Moon Emperor with a worried expression. Of course, the worried look on his face was for show; in reality, he hoped that his father would die soon, so that he could become the next Sun and Moon Emperor.

For Xu Tianran, even his father, the emperor, was merely a tool to gain benefits.

He and the Sun and Moon Emperor did indeed share a father-son bond, but faced with the immense temptation of the throne, this bond proved extremely fragile. He knew the Sun and Moon Emperor's health was failing and his days were numbered; he only needed to wait patiently to ascend the throne. Yet, he still hoped that those traitors would kill his father.

This way, he could quickly ascend to the throne and become emperor. After all, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and as the crown prince and regent, he was undoubtedly the best candidate to inherit the throne.

Moreover, he could also give these traitors who murdered the Sun Moon Emperor a Douluo Three Kingdoms or Shrek Academy identity, and use the assassination of the Sun Moon Emperor to guide public opinion within the Sun Moon Empire, thereby making the Sun Moon people even more hostile to Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy, making his war plan more successful.

Thinking of this, he became even more dissatisfied with these thieves. He thought to himself, "These useless thieves can't even kill an unconscious old emperor. With this level of ability, how dare they attack the Sun and Moon Palace?"
"Have you found out which faction those thieves who attacked Father Emperor's residence just now came from?" Xu Tianran looked at a retainer who was guarding the Sun and Moon Emperor here to prevent him from being lured away.

The fact that these thieves attacked the palace, and that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps has yet to capture them and report back, all indicate that these thieves are exceptionally powerful and quite troublesome. Wild Soul Masters simply could not possibly possess such strength, so these thieves must have come from some powerful faction.

The attendant immediately responded: "Your Highness the Regent, we have some information about the thieves who attacked His Majesty. They may be related to the previous Crown Prince, Xu He."

"Xu He?" Xu Tianran frowned slightly. "How is this related to Xu He again?"

The priest said, "When those thieves launched their attack, they shouted slogans for His Highness Xu He. But I always felt something was off. It seemed a bit deliberate, as if they were trying to lead us to think about Xu He. But I can't provide any evidence to prove that my idea is correct. That's why I said that these thieves might be related to Xu He."

As a level nine Soul Master, his intelligence far surpasses that of most people on the Douluo Continent, so he keenly sensed that something was amiss.

Xu Tianran was silent for a moment, also feeling that there were doubts about this matter. Then he slowly said, "That's right. Doing this only makes it seem like an attempt to cover up the truth. You should also help the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps to bring those thieves back for interrogation as soon as possible. Their efficiency is too slow."

"Your Highness Regent, but... His Majesty's side..." The attendant hesitated, as he had the mission of protecting the Sun and Moon Emperor.

"Don't worry, since I'm here, I've naturally brought a group of strong people with me. I won't let anyone harm my father," Xu Tianran said confidently.

"Yes, Your Highness." Seeing this, the attendant had no choice but to bow and leave.

He trusted Xu Tianran quite a bit, after all, the other party was the current emperor's biological son, and it was quite normal for a son to take care of or protect his father.

With the number of men they brought, they could easily take me down.

After the offering was made, Xu Tianran ordered, "Except for Ju Zi, everyone else go outside to guard against any attacks on me and my father."

"Yes, sir." Several voices rang out, and then the palace fell silent again. Xu Tianran gripped the Sun and Moon Emperor's hand tightly, looking at the emperor's face with a hint of killing intent in his eyes.

He silently thought to himself, "Your subject wishes to implement the plan to unify the Douluo Continent as soon as possible and become the greatest emperor of all time. This is also the wish of the ancestors of the Sun Moon Empire."

Therefore, I need to ascend the throne as soon as possible in order to fully display my great talents and strategies. Now is a golden opportunity, and I can only ask that Your Majesty take his final resting place!
