Douluo Continent II: You're an evil spirit master, but also a philanthropist?

"You've come for Wang Shaojie, huh? You must know that he insulted my mother, the current imperial concubine, right? I'm a prince, yet I can't even retaliate?"

Xu Cheng narrowed his eyes and said.

"Heh, my Royal Inspectorate is specifically designed to target members of the royal family. Its founding purpose was to prevent members of the royal family from committing crimes. Wang Shaojie is a member of my royal family, and even if he deserves to die, you have no right to punish him..."

The man spoke with an air of righteous indignation.

"Even if you are a prince, you should never commit murder in your own name! We will arrest you now and take you back to be tried by His Majesty!"

Xu Cheng pursed his lips.

That's more beautiful to say than to sing.

Should the matter be handed over to His Majesty for judgment?

Just a joke.

He feared that by the time the emperor found out, he would already be on his deathbed, or perhaps dead in the interrogation room.

When I die, the only one who can compete with the fourth prince for the throne will be the crown prince, Xu Tianran.

However, due to his leg disability, unless he wins over the Holy Spirit Cult or comes up with a surprising plan, the Fourth Prince's position as emperor is almost secure. Xu Cheng is dead, and the old emperor is unlikely to kill his other son as well. At most, he will severely reorganize the entire Royal Guard, and that will be all.

Sacrifice these people to gain a throne.

Whether this was instructed by the Fourth Prince or decided by a few idiots on their own.

What's done is done...

And to put it another way...

What these people did could at most be considered settling personal scores, but it was definitely not against the rules.

The rules set by the late emperor.

The Royal Inspectorate is composed of authoritative figures from the Sun Moon Empire's royal family.

They could investigate the emperor above and interrogate members of the royal family below.

It has considerable authority.

Although this group of people didn't have the guts to investigate the emperor, they certainly did have the qualifications.

And for a prince like himself, this was naturally even more true...

Waved his hand.

He stopped An Ying, who was about to rush out from his own shadow.

Xu Cheng stretched out his hands.

A smile crept across his lips.

He won this round.

It's hard to say who is the mantis and who is the oriole.

"Click, click." The golden handcuffs instantly fastened to Xu Cheng's wrists.

Instantly, a powerful binding force emanated from the handcuffs, and Xu Cheng instantly felt his entire soul power being sealed.

His expression remained unchanged.

"I don't know your name?"

Xu Cheng said with a smile.

"My name is Xu Mochen, Your Highness the Eleventh Prince should remember it well..."

Xu Mochen grinned as well.

His father was a prince who controlled the royal family, and he held great power. He was also a true direct descendant of the royal family.

As for Wang Shaojie, everyone knows it's just an excuse.

The main purpose was to detain Xu Cheng.

audacious in the extreme?

Heh, with the Fourth Prince backing him up and having both reason and evidence, what can Xu Cheng's backers do even if they come?

Could you possibly kill him?

joke!

Xu Cheng smiled and followed Xu Mochen's men out of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, got into a luxury soul guide car, and headed towards the center of Mingdu City.

Just now, he secretly informed Nana to send a message to the teacher, the head of Mingde Hall, and the Holy Spirit Cult...

By personally entering the situation, he drew out the Fourth Prince's weakness.

I wonder if that cunning old fox Xu Tianran will get involved in this...

Chapter 43 Xu Cheng's Arrest and Reactions from All Sides

Mingde Hall.

Duty room.

Lin Jiayi slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and looked furious.

"You're saying His Highness the Prince was arrested by people claiming to be the Royal Inspectorate?"

"Yes, I was hiding nearby at the time, so they probably didn't notice me. Brother Cheng told me to come back and deliver a message to Elder Cheng and Master Jing."

Nana said anxiously.

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Lin Jiayi also realized that the situation was urgent and most likely involved the struggle for the throne within the royal family.

Especially recently, my boss has been showing signs of siding with Xu Cheng. Even if we take a step back, those audacious people were taken from the academy, so this matter is inextricably linked to him!

With a flash, he headed towards Mingde Hall.

Nana stood there, a hint of anxiety in her beautiful eyes.

Although she had already sent a message to the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters requesting support from powerful figures, the sudden turn of events still worried the girl greatly.

After all, everyone knows that those people are capable of anything for the throne and for the struggle for succession.

……

The Holy Spirit Church's main altar.

It is unknown how deep underground it is located.

A chilling wind swept through the area, and four massive pillars stood tall, supporting this enormous underground cavern.

At the very bottom of the Temple of Earth is a stone platform.

A jet-black bone dragon coiled on top, its massive body completely covering the entire stone platform, and the ancient dragon's residual power emanated from its dark bones.

The top of the skull.

A man shrouded in a black robe was sitting cross-legged.

A layer of dark mist surrounded him, obscuring his figure and making his identity even more mysterious.

Sudden.

Beneath the black robe, an eye slowly opened, carrying a hint of annoyance.

At the same time, a faint blue flame flickered in the hollow eye sockets of the bone dragon beneath it, and the massive bone dragon's body slowly trembled before it slowly rose into the air and circled around in the cave.

An atmosphere of terror permeated the entire underground cave.

In the countless other levels of the underground caves, the Holy Spirit Cult disciples all knelt on the ground, suffocating under the oppressive aura.

"How dare you imprison my Holy Spirit Cult's Son! What great ability you have!"

Zhongliwu's cold voice echoed throughout the underground cave.

It was mixed with an extreme anger.

Xu Cheng is his greatest tool for controlling the Sun Moon Empire in the future. He is also exceptionally talented and is the Holy Spirit Cult's designated successor. If the latter dies, the Holy Spirit Cult's grand plan will completely fall apart!

"Pass down the order: summon the Grand Master, the Fourth Master, the Sixth Master, the Seventh Master, and the Eleventh Master to accompany me to Mingdu! Let's see what these scoundrels are up to!"

Zhongli Wu said coldly.

"Yes!"

The sound echoed throughout the entire cave.

Streaks of black light shot out of the underground cave and flew rapidly in all directions.

"Xu Jiran, I'd like to see how you're going to get out of this!"

……

Mingdu, inside a magnificent mansion.

Both sides of the riverbank are filled with ponds, which are full of lotus flowers in full bloom during the summer. The green and pink flowers add to the summer scenery.

In a pavilion.
