Douluo: The Pope at the beginning, suppressing Haotian

Chapter 49: The "Good Guy" Nether Duke, the Scapegoat Song Wuyou
Pei An's "gentle" smile seemed as cold as the ice in January to Song Wuyou and other royal servants, chilling their hearts.

Song Wuyou's face looked a little ugly.

The killing of a royal priest of the same status as himself was not only a slap in the face of the Xingluo royal family, but also a slap in the face of these royal priests.

Davis, who was watching from afar, was even more glad that he did not choose to get involved in this matter, but chose to wait and see.

If someone dared to kill the royal family members in Xingluo Empire, he would not hesitate to kill the prince.

"The Pope is, after all, a consecrated man. He just said a few words. Isn't it a bit too much for the Pope to do this?"

Although he didn't want to make enemies with Pei An, the other person's hand had already hit his face, and the entrance of the fighting arena was full of eyes.

If he hadn't expressed his opinion, both the royal family and the Xingluo royal family would have lost face!
Even if he didn't die at Pei An's hands and returned to the royal family, Emperor Xingluo would definitely blame him.

"Pope, Xingluo City now has more than one Imperial Guard."

Song Wuyou reminded him that, after all, he was still afraid that Pei An would attack him, so he could only say this to make Pei An feel a little afraid.

Your strength as Judgment Douluo is indeed unparalleled, but if you were besieged by powerful soul masters and a large army, I'm afraid it would be difficult to cope with it, right?
Song Wuyou didn't ask for much, nor did he want to seek revenge for the royal priest he had just worshipped.

He only needed Pei An to back down a little and give some face to the royal priests and the Xingluo royal family, and he would be able to complete his task.

but……

"So what? Is Lord Song threatening me?" Pei An was dismissive of this so-called army.

Even if he couldn't destroy all these armies, as long as he wanted to leave, no one in the Xingluo Empire could stop him, even if Ning Rongrong was with him.

The title of Wan Jun Ke Sha can be banned, but this is only in theory.

The truth is, even if a Titled Douluo cannot defeat the army, the army will not be able to keep him as long as he wants to leave.

Pei An came to Xingluo City this time just to bring Ning Rongrong to play, and he had no ill intentions, so even though he noticed the eyes around him, he ignored them.

But there are always people who like to talk too much and force him to kill.

It is impossible to give in.

If Pei An gave in at this moment, the dignity he had built up over the years would be almost destroyed.

When one’s status reaches a certain level, even seemingly simple steps backward become extremely difficult.

Song Wuyou's face turned pale. He obviously didn't expect Pei An to have no scruples at all.

At the same time, several teams of armored knights came from all directions and surrounded Pei An and the other man.

It was obviously the pressure from Emperor Xingluo again.

Faced with this situation, Pei Anyi was not afraid.

He leaned down slightly, touched Ning Rongrong's pink hair beside him, and said gently: "Rongrong, are you scared?"

Ning Rongrong shook her head without any hesitation, and said in a slightly childish voice: "Don't be afraid, with the teacher here, Rongrong is not afraid of anything."

"So good." Pei An smiled and patted her little head gently, then stood up again.

The Sword of Judgment of Living Beings slowly emerged in his right hand, and the sharp sword energy pressured these knights so much that they couldn't help but breathe rapidly.

The atmosphere was tense for a time.

Seeing that something was wrong, the onlookers fled in all directions.

It's fun, but it's not worth it if you lose your life for it.

Davis also hid in the Great Fighting Arena.

If a fight really breaks out, killing this prince will be a piece of cake.

Song Wuyou and several other royal servants swallowed their saliva.

Today, this battle is probably inevitable...

"Stop, stop!"

Song Wuyou was just about to give the order to attack when he heard a hurried shout. A middle-aged man in black transformed into a streak of black light and rushed over from a short distance.

When they saw this person, the people on Xingluo's side were obviously stunned.

Song Wuyou asked in surprise: "Lord Duke of Netherworld, why are you here?"

The Duke of Netherworld, the most powerful official in the Xingluo Empire, holds a higher status than the royal family.

Even Song Wuyou, who has a lot of experience, has to call him "Sir".

Seeing the arrival of the Duke of Netherworld, Song Wuyou was obviously relieved.

Before the arrival of the Duke of the Underworld, he was the person with the highest status among this group of people, and naturally he was under the greatest pressure.

If it is not handled properly, he will be the one who bears the greatest responsibility in the end.

But when the Duke of the Underworld came, the backbone candidate changed.

Normally, Song Wuyou might compete with the Duke of Netherworld for power, but at this time he decisively chose to give in.

The Duke of Netherworld had a solemn expression on his face. Facing Song Wuyou's words, he simply glanced at him calmly:
"I just happened to be passing by, Mr. Song, what's going on?"

"Your Majesty allows you to be so disrespectful to His Holiness the Pope?"

Upon hearing this, Song Wuyou quickly explained, "I absolutely didn't mean that. It was the Pope..."

Song Wuyou pointed to the fallen head on the ground, and his meaning was obvious.

He had no intention of provoking Pei An, but he could not sit idly by when the royal priest died at Pei An's hands.

The Duke of Netherworld knew the whole story without Song Wuyou telling him.

He had been observing for a long time. If he hadn't seen that the situation was about to develop beyond his expectations, he would not have come over to stop it.

As for the reason, does it matter?
He only cares about the results.

The Nether Duke glanced at the head of the royal priest lying on the ground and said, "I sympathize with this priest's situation."

"But I think the Pope is definitely not an unreasonable person. Since he took action, there must be a reason."

"Song Gongsheng, I think the reason this matter has developed to this point is closely related to your improper handling of the matter. What do you think?"

The Duke of the Netherworld’s words made Song Wuyou’s face even uglier.

After speaking to Song Wuyou, Duke Netherworld turned his gaze to Pei An.

Bowing slightly, he said, "Your Holiness, I'm sorry. This matter was handled improperly by my royal family. I hope your Holiness will forgive me."

The Duke of Netherworld was not a radical. He did not want to further deteriorate the relationship between the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Hall, so he chose to back down.

Anyway, for him personally, it's just a matter of lowering his head, and there's no substantial loss.

Pei An said nothing, but just looked at the Duke of the Netherworld in front of him with interest.

This old guy is really generous to others.

In any case, this matter has nothing to do with him. It is the royal priest who is disgraced, not him, the Duke of the Netherworld.

It can even be said that if he gives a push in secret, the Duke of the Netherworld might even win a reputation for easing the relationship between the two major forces by his own efforts.

Although he guessed what he was thinking, Pei An was too lazy to pay attention.

As long as it doesn't harm his interests, he doesn't care about these little thoughts.

Only Song Wuyou looked unhappy.

The Duke of the Underworld's words simply put all the responsibility on his head, accusing him of improper handling and incompetence.

Although His Majesty is certainly aware of the truth of the matter, he will most likely pretend to be dumb and acquiesce to the arrangements of the Duke of the Netherworld.
