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

Chapter 470 Shrek Academy Assassinates Royal Family Members: Irrefutable Evidence!
A look of helplessness appeared on Xu Tianran's face. He sighed deeply and said, "Sect Leader Zhongli, of course I want to become an emperor for all ages. In the process of becoming an emperor for all ages, I also need the help of the Holy Spirit Sect."

After all, the combined strength of the Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy is far too great. With the assistance of the Holy Spirit Cult, I am confident that I can shorten the time required to unify the Douluo Continent.

"There is a problem right now. Although I am confident that I can successfully ascend the throne as the Emperor of the Sun and Moon, the existence of some people will hinder my rule. What do you think we should do with these people?"

"Kill!" Zhongli Wu said succinctly.

“Yes, he deserves to die.” Xu Tianran nodded.

Zhongli Wu immediately said, "Your Majesty, tell me the names, appearances, residences, and strength of those people, and I will lead men to kill them right now."

If it were just killing some people who didn't get along with Xu Tianran, as long as the opponent's strength wasn't too outrageous, Zhong Liwu could accept it. After all, it wasn't the first time he had done something like this.

Xu Tianran shook his head, a smile appearing on his face, his tone gradually softening: "Sect Leader Zhongli, these people are all members of the royal family, and you have always been on good terms with the Sun Moon Royal Family. How could you have led the team to kill them? The evil person who killed these members of the royal family is someone else!"
These members of the royal family mostly hold important positions, serving as pillars of the vast Sun Moon Empire. Shrek Academy has always supported the Douluo Three Kingdoms and is hostile to the Sun Moon Empire.

In order to slow down the Sun Moon Empire's war and deter it, Shrek Academy sent a group of powerful individuals to kill high-ranking members of the royal family and blow up a warehouse storing military soul tools, causing heavy losses to the royal family. Some soul masters and ordinary people living nearby were also affected by the explosion and died instantly.

An investigation revealed physical evidence of Shrek Academy's heinous acts at the scene, as well as spies planted by Shrek Academy within the Sun Moon Empire. After being tortured, the spies realized their crimes and implicated Shrek Academy!
Thus, the interrogators learned that these spies had been gathering intelligence on the royal family and military soul tool warehouses in order to help Shrek Academy carry out its plan, which led to this tragedy! Now, with witnesses and physical evidence, the evidence is irrefutable!

Zhongli Wu was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that Xu Tianran was indeed a master at framing others. The other party was throwing mud at Shrek Academy, probably to incite hatred towards Shrek Academy among the people of the Sun Moon Empire. Shrek Academy's reputation in the Sun Moon Empire was already very bad because Xuanzi had admitted his crimes last time.

Currently, only a small number of people consistently and steadfastly support Shrek Academy, and they are undoubtedly true Shrek fans.

However, if such news were to come out, it would undoubtedly be another huge blow to Shrek Academy's reputation in the Sun Moon Empire.

Although there are oppressors within the Sun and Moon Imperial Family, they are ultimately a "minority." The vast majority of the imperial family members, having received years of education from the Sun and Moon Imperial Family, are quite intelligent and know to put on a show. Therefore, the Sun and Moon Imperial Family actually enjoys a very good reputation among the people.

The mass killing of royal family members, the destruction of military soul tool warehouses, and the deaths of nearby soul masters and ordinary people from the blast wave—these three events combined would undoubtedly fill the Sun Moon Empire with hatred towards Shrek Academy.

This undoubtedly had a positive impact on the war that the Sun Moon Empire was preparing to launch.

After all, doing so would not only give the Sun Moon Empire an extra layer of legitimacy in initiating the war, but also encourage people within the Sun Moon Empire to enthusiastically join the Sun Moon Army.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhongli Wu said.

"Next, we'll have to rely on Cult Leader Zhongli." A smile appeared on Xu Tianran's face. "Ju Zi, bring over all the materials I asked you to prepare."

Orange replied, "Yes, Your Highness."

She then took out a stack of documents from her storage soul tool and handed them to Zhongli Wu. Zhongli Wu took the documents, studied them, and found that they mainly contained two types of information. First, the names, appearances, residences, and strengths of some royal relatives were recorded in the documents.

Secondly, the location of some military soul tool warehouses and the methods of entry are also clearly stated in this document.

This undoubtedly provided convenience for Zhong Liwu. He carefully read through the information and felt that it wouldn't be too difficult to deal with these people and destroy the military soul tool warehouse. Of course, according to Zhong Liwu's thinking, with Xu Tianran's wisdom, the soul tools in those military soul tool warehouses had probably already been replaced by the enemy's subordinates with a bunch of scrapped soul tools.

Zhongli Wu looked at Xu Tianran and said, "Your Majesty, what about the position of Imperial Preceptor and the matter of the Protectorate Cult?"

Xu Tianran straightened his expression and said, "Sect Leader Zhongli, rest assured, as long as you lead the team to complete this task and promise that the Holy Spirit Church will send a Limit Douluo to protect me after I ascend the throne."

I will go to see Master Kong later and do my best to persuade him to agree to your appointment as the National Preceptor and to allow the Holy Spirit Sect to become the Guardian Sect of the Nation.

Furthermore, I swear by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy that once the Sun Moon Empire unifies the Douluo Continent, I will honor you as a guardian deity, so that all people will revere you and assist you in attaining godhood!

Hearing Xu Tianran's assurance, Zhong Liwu breathed a sigh of relief. Suppressing his excitement and not letting Xu Tianran see how much he valued this matter, he nodded calmly and said, "Alright, it's a deal. I'll go and gather the manpower now."

After saying that, Zhongliwu left the room.

To be honest, it wouldn't be difficult for the Holy Spirit Cult to send a Limit Douluo to protect Xu Tianran. Although the Holy Spirit Cult only has two Limit Douluos, he could ask his mother for help. After all, Uncle Long listens to his mother the most, and he does whatever his mother says.

Moreover, to be honest, Longbo is already protecting Xu Tianran, but only during the competition. This is because many powerful figures will be coming to Mingdu during the competition, and his mother does not want Xu Tianran to die from assassination attempts by those powerful figures. If Xu Tianran dies now, the Holy Spirit Sect's investment in him will be wasted.

That's why the mother asked Uncle Long to protect Xu Tianran's personal safety and prevent him from being assassinated.

Now it's simply a matter of extending the protection period. As long as his mother agrees, Longbo can't possibly refuse her request.

The next day.

Inside a palace.

Xu Tianran is discussing imperial affairs with some ministers.

After all, the Sun and Moon Empire has a vast territory, and a great deal of things happen on this land every day. Naturally, there are a great many affairs to be handled within the Sun and Moon Empire. As the de facto emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire, he needs to deal with a large number of imperial affairs every day.
