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

Chapter 685 Attack in Mingdu
This gave him an opportunity.

The Soul Masters who are sent back to the academy to report new information cannot be too strong, and their numbers cannot be too large. In this way, I can definitely kill these people without making too much of a commotion.

If we can't deal with Kong Deming, can't we at least deal with you guys?
Moreover, all members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps are now fully armed, wearing armor, face shields, and helmets to better protect Xu Tianran.

When the time comes, all I need to do is find someone with a similar build among the corpses, put on that person's armor, mask, and helmet, and I can successfully take their place, reach Xu Tianran, and report the new information to him.

Taking this opportunity, he could directly attack Xu Tianran.

Given the attacks on major locations within Mingdu, he believed that even with its strict internal management, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps would inevitably make mistakes due to the critical situation.

His plan was flawless; all he needed to do was follow it step by step to win over Xu Tianran.

Once I accomplish this, I can wash away my past infamy, restore Shrek's reputation, and receive a chorus of praise!
As for the Sun Moon Empire, without Kong Deming to restrain them, and without anyone with greater wisdom to see through the fog, in short, the advantage is in their hands!

Thinking of this, he smiled and looked towards the distant clouds, as if he could see through the clouds the moment when he performed his unparalleled feat.

The majestic Sun and Moon Palace stands tall on the earth, with various palaces springing up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. The roofs are all covered with exquisite glazed tiles, and the golden sunlight climbs over the glazed tiles, making them reflect a breathtakingly beautiful color.

But beneath this magnificence lurks a danger like a venomous snake in the dark.

The Sun and Moon Palace is undoubtedly an important location within Mingdu. It is guarded by a large number of Soul Masters and also contains some dangerous Soul Tools developed by Mingde Hall but not yet made public. Anyone who chooses to invade the palace will inevitably suffer a thunderous counterattack.

Suddenly, a roar like lightning rang out as the air was shattered, and an astonishing number of soul-guided cannonballs came from afar, leaving perfect arcs in the sky like flowing water.

Even though it was daytime, the light from the soul-guided cannonballs was still dazzling, instantly attracting the attention of the Sun and Moon level experts.

A rapid roar suddenly echoed through the Sun and Moon Imperial Palace: "Enemy attack!"

The next moment, a pale golden light shield quickly enveloped the entire palace, forming a defensive barrier, and the soul-guided cannonballs arrived as scheduled. Smoke danced wildly in the flames, and the sounds of explosions echoed between heaven and earth.

"How dare they attack the palace!" A level nine Soul Master in armor rose into the air, his gaze fixed intently on the direction from which the cannonballs were coming.

Of course, even when attacked, he did not leave the palace. After all, with Xu Tianran away, his main duty was to guard the palace.

He muttered to himself, "Who could be attacking? Judging from the intensity of the light shield's feedback, these soul-guided projectiles are at most level eight."

At this moment, a level nine soul master with white hair and beard also ascended into the air, frowning as he said, "Level eight soul guide cannons alone are not enough to break through the Sun Moon Imperial Palace. Perhaps this is a diversionary tactic. We should continue to defend the palace and prevent the enemy from taking this opportunity to break into it."

“Not bad.” The ninth-level Soul Master in armor agreed. “However, no matter what, an attack on the palace is a major event. We should send someone to inform His Majesty and dispatch some Soul Masters to search for the thieves in Mingdu.”

"Hmm, that makes sense." The white-haired Soul Master nodded, then instructed some Soul Masters in the palace to arrange for people to inform His Majesty of this matter, and to mobilize the Soul Master Corps in Mingdu to conduct a large-scale manhunt for the thieves. Mingdu is of vital importance to the Sun Moon Empire, and naturally has a considerable number of Soul Master Corps for its use. While the Sun Moon Empire has a considerable number of ordinary Soul Master Corps, the Guardian Hands are the core of the Soul Master Corps system.

Similar attacks occurred in many places within Mingdu, such as the auction house, the soul tool warehouse, and the imperial mausoleum. Of course, because the soul tool warehouse was heavily guarded, it did not suffer any damage.

These premeditated attacks undoubtedly stirred up a storm within Mingdu, causing widespread concern.

Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

After Xu Tianran finished talking with the researchers, his gaze swept around and finally landed on Huo Yuhao again. He put on a gentle smile and said, "Yuhao, you can come to the palace more often in the future. Tianzhen is about the same age as you. She has been nagging me about you lately, hoping that you can give her some guidance on her soul master cultivation and soul tool research."

"Tianzhen's biggest problem is that she is spoiled. Although there are senior soul masters in the palace who can teach her, she is disobedient once she gets angry, and she will argue with others, and may even hit people."

She admires you greatly and wouldn't do such a thing to you. I hope you can help Tianzhen, just to save face for me, what do you say?

"Your Majesty is too kind. I will certainly visit the palace more often," Huo Yuhao said.

"That's good." Xu Tianran nodded with a smile.

He sent Huo Yuhao to the palace solely to help him and Xu Tianzhen develop a closer relationship.

After all, Ju Zi is currently serving as the Sun and Moon Marshal on the front lines, commanding a large army, and is not suitable to return to the academy. Therefore, she cannot continue to rapidly develop her relationship with Huo Yuhao. As a result, it is necessary to have Xu Tianzhen develop her relationship with Huo Yuhao.

As long as this person can be tamed, whether it's an orange or an innocent creature, it can be used as a tool.

He then glanced at Meng Hongchen without leaving a trace, before shifting his gaze to Jing Hongchen and saying, "Sect Master Hongchen, I have some things to discuss with you, just the two of us."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously activated the soundproof soul guide shield and covered it with a curtain to prevent outsiders from peeping.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" Jing Hongchen asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Master Hongchen, lately the ministers have been pressuring me too much. Every court meeting they urge me to establish an empress and take concubines. Even the memorials I submit are all about urging me to establish an empress and take concubines. So, I am considering making Hongchen my empress," Xu Tianran said with a wry smile.

The reason he brought this up was entirely to get closer to Jing Hongchen. After all, the other party was now very likely to become the second level ten soul master of the Sun Moon Empire, so he naturally had to make plans in advance. Using Jing Hongchen as a breakthrough point was a good choice.

Moreover, controlling Meng Hongchen is not difficult. As long as he obtains the secret teachings of the Holy Spirit Sect, Meng Hongchen will obediently follow orders. As for Zhongli Wu, to be honest, he had already figured it out. This person is a smart man. As long as there are enough benefits to be exchanged, the other party will definitely be willing to hand over the secret teachings to him.

"Your Majesty, this..." Jing Hongchen was extremely surprised, never expecting Xu Tianran to say such a thing, but he was extremely resistant to the idea of ​​marrying Meng Hongchen to Xu Tianran.
