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

Chapter 690 Xuanzi's Escape

"Xu Tianran, how could you die like this?" Xuanzi gritted his teeth, his expression twisted, and a surge of resentment welled up in his chest.

Xu Tianran can certainly die, but he absolutely cannot die now, especially not by his own hand.

After all, his purpose in coming to Mingdu was solely to capture Xu Tianran alive, thereby influencing the Sun and Moon Army at the front lines. Ideally, he would force the Sun and Moon Army to retreat by taking Xu Tianran hostage.

However, now that Xu Tianran is dead, as the second strongest student at Shrek Academy, his every word and action represents Shrek Academy, and it is impossible for him to escape the connection.

As for the coalition forces, they were naturally negatively affected by this incident.

"Xuanzi, you broke into Mingdu and murdered His Majesty! I will never forgive you! Today I will avenge His Majesty!" Jing Hongchen's eyes blazed with fury as he charged forward.

“Jing Hongchen, let me explain. I never intended to kill Xu Tianran. At most, I just wanted to injure him and render him unable to resist, so that I could capture him alive. But for some reason, he just sat there motionless in the chair, his eyes vacant, as if he were being controlled. Even after my attack broke through the soul guide shield again, he did not choose to resist. I suspect…” Xuanzi explained as he backed away.

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the overwhelming golden light that filled the sky, forcing him to retaliate.

Jing Hongchen's eyes widened in fury as he roared, "You mean His Majesty willingly allowed you to kill him? That's utter nonsense! Xuanzi, no matter what, the evidence against you for murdering His Majesty is irrefutable, and you will surely die today!"

Commander Zhao also charged forward, brandishing his silver staff.

After exchanging blows with these two for a while, Xuanzi felt considerable pressure, mainly from Jing Hongchen. He hadn't expected that this person was not only a level nine Soul Master, but had even cultivated into a level ninety-six Super Douluo.

"No, I have to do something. I can't leave empty-handed. Now that Xu Tianran is dead, let's see if there are any other important people here who are not strong enough. Taking these people with us can also play a role." Xuanzi's eyes subconsciously swept over the bodies of the crowd.

He quickly spotted Huo Yuhao, and his heart skipped a beat.

He still remembered his past torment at being sealed by the soul core, so he didn't hesitate to give up the idea of ​​continuing to capture people. Instead, he broke open the roof of Mingde Hall and left the place.

Jing Hongchen and Commander Zhao chose to give chase immediately.

Huo Yuhao watched the three figures disappear into the hole above Mingde Hall, then silently withdrew his gaze.

Now that Xuanzi has killed Xu Tianran, he naturally no longer needs to hide.

Otherwise, when Xuanzi scanned everyone from mid-air just now, he could have easily used his simulated soul skill to hide his figure.

"Xu Tianran is dead, so we should start looking for a suitable child from the imperial clan to inherit the throne and act as the young emperor." Huo Yuhao's mind was racing.

"Those two damned bastards!" Xuanzi escaped from the encirclement and pursuit of Jing Hongchen and Commander Zhao.

He was injured and looked unwell. After taking a detour, he successfully returned to the backyard of the Xuan Tian Restaurant, where a soundproof soul-guiding shield had been activated.

Several scouts were already sitting on the ground, their faces covered in dust and their expressions were gloomy, looking rather listless. Many of them were also injured. When Xuanzi saw this, he immediately stopped and stood still.

All eyes fell on Xuanzi, and then they all stood up, cupped their hands, and said in unison, "Elder Xuan!"

"Hmm!" Xuanzi nodded, his gaze sweeping around. "Where are the others?"

He regretted it as soon as he said it.

The people here are all spies trained by Shrek Academy, the Star Luo Empire, and the Douling Empire, only their numbers are much fewer. The whereabouts of the others are self-evident. There's no need for me to ask.

Perhaps it was because of the failure to capture Xu Tianran that he was filled with resentment and lost his temper, which led him to say those words.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly fell silent.

Finally, Zhao Yunfeng stepped out from behind the crowd, breaking the silence. His voice was hoarse as he said, "Elder Xuan, everyone else is dead. Some were killed, and some chose to commit suicide before being caught to avoid leaking secrets. They were all good people."

"Elder Xuan, where is Xu Tianran, whom you captured alive? With him, we should be able to force the Sun Moon Empire to withdraw its troops. At that time, the dire situation faced by the allied forces at the front line should be resolved."

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of light appeared in everyone's dim eyes, as if a flame called hope was burning in their pupils.

The reason why everyone was willing to risk their lives to attack important locations in Mingdu was to help Xuanzi attract attention and create an opportunity to capture Xu Tianran alive.

Xuanzi fell silent, his mind a jumble of thoughts, unsure of where to begin.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry everyone, I failed to capture Xu Tianran alive and instead killed him. Of course, it can't be entirely my fault. Xu Tianran hid his Title Douluo strength, but in the end, things turned out strangely."

Upon hearing this, everyone was thunderstruck.

After all, the spies sacrificed so many lives just to give the Allied forces at the front an advantage, didn't they?
Now that Xu Tianran is dead, how can we give the allied forces at the front an advantage?
The Sun and Moon Army, whose monarch has been murdered, will probably be even more frenzied than before.
Zhao Yunfeng looked at Xuanzi with bloodshot eyes, feeling fortunate that he had made preparations in advance and left multiple escape routes for everyone, which prevented the scouts from being wiped out.

However, the intelligence systems of Shrek Academy and the two great empires have been severely weakened.

"Elder Xuan, I will report to Elder Mu the truth about your killing of Xu Tianran," Zhao Yunfeng said.

“I will report this to His Majesty,” said a spy from the Star Luo Empire.

“I will also report this matter to His Majesty,” said a spy from the Douling Empire.

Upon hearing this, Xuanzi's expression changed drastically. He opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he swallowed his words.

After all, he bears undeniable responsibility in this matter, no matter what.

Xu Tianran did indeed die at his hands in full view of everyone, which led to the complete collapse of the plan to capture Xu Tianran alive. The most important thing he needs to do now is to find a way to make up for the negative impact of this incident.

front.

In the command tent of the sun and moon.

The solitary Orange appeared calm, but inwardly she was overjoyed. The reason was simple: she had just learned from Huo Yuhao that Xu Tianran had been killed by Xuanzi, as well as Huo Yuhao's plans for what would happen next.

To be honest, she wasn't sad about Xu Tianran's death, after all, their relationship was one of mutual exploitation.

"Now that Xu Tianran is dead, it means that Yuhao is one step closer to ascending the throne. Hmm, Yuhao plans to let the young emperor ascend the throne first, and then abdicate later. This is a good idea. After all, legitimacy is a very important thing, and it will help to further enhance Yuhao's reputation." Orange's mind was churning.
