Douluo: Peerless Righteous Douluo

Even though Xu Tianran knew that this might make Kong Deming unhappy, he had no choice but to do so, thinking that after he had fully recovered, he would tell Kong Deming everything in detail and get Kong Deming's forgiveness.

But a temporary drop in favorability is inevitable.

This is exactly the case. Kong Deming didn't like Xu Tianran's lineage in the first place. Now that he saw Xu Tianran was so wary of him, he felt even more unhappy. He simply stopped caring about these trivial matters and concentrated on studying his own soul guide, striving to become a tenth-level soul engineer as soon as possible.

Back in the secret room of the palace, the atmosphere inside was not as serious as imagined.

Xu Tianran, Ju Zi, Ming Yao, Zhongli Wu, and a Titled Douluo hidden in Xu Tianran's shadow, Xue Lao.

There are only five of them.

Several people had smiles on their faces, but they all knew in their hearts that this was a test for the cooperation between the two sides.

If the fate demon can cure Xu Tianran, the trust between the two sides will definitely be further strengthened.

If the disease cannot be cured, or if some tricks are used secretly, I am afraid today will not be so easy to get through.

Do you really think that the powerful soul guides scattered throughout the palace are meant to guard against foreign enemies?

That was only one aspect, and only a very small part of it. What Xu Tianran was really targeting was the Holy Spirit Church.

In other words, the top combat force of the Holy Spirit Church.

Two Extreme Douluo and one Super Douluo of level ninety-eight, this kind of combat power is intimidating no matter where it is placed.

In this regard, the Sun-Moon Empire is at a disadvantage.

Xu Tianran made such a scene just to tell the Holy Spirit Church that although you have the advantage in top combat power, my Sun and Moon soul guide is not just for show.

However, Xu Tianran was well aware of the horror of the Extreme Douluo. In order to ensure his own safety, Xu Tianran chose Zhongli Wu to enter the secret room together.

Unless a trap is set in advance, it is basically impossible to threaten the two Ultimate Douluo with soul guides.

Zhongli Wu, the ninety-eighth level Super Douluo, still has a chance of competing.

Xu Tianran was already prepared. If the Holy Spirit Cult had bad intentions, these high-level soul guides in the palace would be enough to make Zhongli Wuyou unable to return.

As for Xu Tianran's own safety, those sophisticated defensive soul guides are certainly not just for show. At the same time, the mechanical soul guides in the secret room are enough to allow Xu Tianran to escape as quickly as possible, saving his life while trapping Zhongli Wu to death.

It is obvious that Xu Tianran no longer trusts the Holy Spirit Church, or rather, he has never trusted it.

However, compared with the potential benefits, Xu Tianran chose to take the risk.

Within the scope of his ability, Xu Tianran did his best.

But will things really go as Xu Tianran imagined?

The fate demon will give the answer.

Chapter 256: Xu Tianran, the True Man, the Means of the Fate Demon

Inside the secret room of the imperial palace, Zhongli Wu nodded to Xu Tianran.

"Your Highness, are you ready?"

Xu Tianran smiled and nodded, "Of course, I have been preparing for this day for a long time."

Afterwards, Xu Tianran looked at the Fate Demon and said, "This time, I'll have to trouble the Fate Demon Saint."

The demon bowed and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. The demon will do his best."

Xu Tianran nodded with a smile, but suddenly fell silent. He was a little unsure whether to say it directly or wait until the moment something happened before speaking.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Tianran let out a long breath and decided to speak out. This matter concerned the national system and could not be taken lightly. If the time came, he might not even have time to react.

Having made up his mind, Xu Tianran asked with a smile, "Son of the Fate Demon, is the vitality I received from Lin Yi enough for me to heal my broken limbs?"

The Life Demon was now connected with Lin Yi's original body. He understood what Xu Tianran meant and nodded immediately, saying, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Lin Yi's vitality is of very high quality. It is enough to restore Your Majesty's legs. There should be some left."

Xu Tianran did not show any joy when he heard this, but frowned instead.

"Lin Yi is now unparalleled in combat power, vaguely known as the strongest man on the continent, and even possesses the ultimate life attribute. 70% of his vitality is barely enough for me to heal my severed limbs. Are you kidding, Saint?"

There was a hint of smile on Xu Tianran's face, but his eyes were full of indifference, with a hint of murderous intent flashing in them.

Obviously, if the fate demon cannot come up with a reasonable explanation, this secret room will be the place where the fate demon will die.

Regarding this, the Fate Demon, or Lin Yi's original body, was naturally prepared.

"Your Majesty, Lin Yi's current combat power is obtained by relying on external forces or secret methods, and is not his true strength. After I obtained his vitality, I understood that Lin Yi is still at the seventh ring level. With a seventh ring level, only 70% of his vitality is equivalent to the full vitality of several Titled Douluo. This is enough to prove that Lin Yi is extraordinary."

The murderous intent in Xu Tianran's eyes quietly dissipated, replaced by a thoughtful look.

The words of the Life Demon just now answered a doubt in his mind, that is, why Lin Yi, who was only a seventh-ring Douluo in the competition, could easily defeat Long Xiaoyao, the Ultimate Douluo, in the suburbs of Mingdu, and with the cooperation of Zhongli Wu and other high-end combat forces of the Holy Spirit Sect.

Afterwards, he even went alone to attack Mingdu. According to Kong Deming, the pressure Lin Yi exuded at that time was far greater than that of Ye Xishui, the Ultimate Douluo.

Kong Deming's words, who had fought with Ye Xishui in the past and was the guardian of the royal family, were highly credible to Xu Tianran.

Lin Yi's explosive combat power was not fake, but the seven soul rings that Lin Yi displayed in the competition at that time were not fake either. However, how the two were connected had always been a concern for Xu Tianran.

Although he had guessed it long ago, the answer given by the Fate Demon at this time made Xu Tianran even more certain that Lin Yi had indeed relied on external forces at that time.

Its actual combat power is at most equivalent to that of a Titled Douluo. If it can take a step further, it can fight against a Super Douluo, but as long as its combat power is not beyond the limit, there is still a way to deal with it.

Xu Tianran was in a good mood as he had unexpectedly solved an obstacle to unifying the continent.

Why did Xu Tianran believe the words of the fate demon so easily?

Suspicion has always been one of Xu Tianran's most fundamental traits.

The root of this lies in what the fate demon said, which is reasonable.

As the new emperor of the Sun and Moon who climbed to the top step by step, Xu Tianran only believed in himself. As for Lin Yi's combat ability, he had always guessed that Lin Yi borrowed external forces or secret methods. The words of the fate demon supported this idea, and since he produced actual evidence, Xu Tianran naturally believed it.

In essence, this is what Xu Tianran is willing to believe. Otherwise, no matter how much the fate demon says, it will be useless.

However, Xu Tianran was a thoughtful person. Although he was overjoyed for a moment, he quickly suppressed his emotions and refocused on recovering his broken limbs.

Xu Tianran was surprised to find that Lin Yi's 70% vitality was only enough to restore his broken limbs.

If it was just about recovering his broken limbs, Xu Tianran would rather not recover them. Now his broken limbs can be used to stand up with the help of soul guide technology, but soul guide technology cannot be used there.

If one simply restores the broken limbs without restoring that part, it would only solidify the remaining soul limbs.

He himself is still not a complete man.

Especially, if the broken limbs were restored but not completely, then what was the difference between him, Xu Tianran, the new emperor of the sun and moon, and the eunuchs in the palace?!

It's all just that little bit.

How could the proud and arrogant Xu Tianran accept such humiliation?

With this thought, Xu Tianran no longer cared about anything else and said directly to the Fate Demon, "Holy Son, besides the broken limb, there is still one part that needs to be healed. Take a look and see if your vitality is sufficient."

The fate demon pretended to be confused and looked at Zhongli Wu, and they saw the deep meaning in each other's eyes.

"May I ask, Your Majesty, what else needs to be restored?"

He did not go forward to check directly, but asked questions respectfully, showing the proper discretion of a subject.

Sure enough, Xu Tianran's eyes looked at the fate demon with less vigilance.

But it's really hard for a man to say that.

Finally, it was Juzi, who was standing behind Xu Tianran, who spoke up: "Your Majesty was attacked back then. Although Your Majesty was saved by fate, your body was severely injured. Aside from your legs, Your Majesty's..."

Juzi suddenly stopped and looked at Xu Tianran. After Xu Tianran nodded, he continued, "Your Majesty has also lost the ability to have children."

Ming Yao and Zhongli Wu were both stunned. Zhongli Wu's face changed drastically and he asked hurriedly: "Has this matter been known to outsiders? It must be controlled immediately. If this matter is leaked out, your majesty's throne will inevitably be unstable."

Seeing Zhongli Wu's excited look, as if he was really a loyal minister who was concerned about the country's situation, Xu Tianran looked at Zhongli Wu with less vigilance.

After all, people's subconscious reactions are hard to deceive. Zhongli Wu used his actual actions to prove his true thoughts.

Unfortunately, this scene had already been rehearsed several times by Zhongli Wu and Ming Yao, and what Xu Tianran saw was the result of Zhongli Wu's honed acting skills.

Juzi said: "Don't worry, Imperial Master. Even among His Majesty's confidants, only a handful of people know about this matter. The people who knew about it have long been eliminated, so there is no possibility of it being leaked."

Zhongli Wu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."

Xu Tianran then turned his attention to the Life Demon, "Holy Son, is this enough vitality?"

The life demon looked dazed at this time, and only came back to his senses after Xu Tianran called him several times.

"I have lost my composure in front of the emperor. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Little did he know that it was this trance-like look that was more consistent with the true reaction of knowing that the current emperor was ill. By accident, it actually made Xu Tianran truly relieved.

Little did he know that the demon was distracted just now because of a word from Lin Yi's real body.

Although he had known for a long time that Xu Tianran's body was incomplete, after hearing Xu Tianran reveal the news himself, Lin Yi couldn't help but think that Xu Tianran was able to become a Titled Douluo at the age of thirty-something, and even in the Shrek Inner Court, he was a top genius.

Although as the prince of Sun and Moon, he inevitably needs the assistance of medicine, but this talent cannot be concealed.

But Lin Yi felt that, apart from the blessing of talent and status, incompleteness might be the biggest accelerator of Xu Tianran's practice.

However, no one could understand this except Lin Yi, who had memories of another world. The clone and the original body could only laugh together when their consciousness was connected.

Facing Xu Tianran's inquiring gaze, the life demon hesitated for a moment, apologized, and then stepped forward to check Xu Tianran's injuries. After thinking for a moment, he looked embarrassed.

Xu Tianran's eyes then became a little gloomy.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid these vitality are not enough. Although that place occupies a small proportion of the body, it is the place where the yang energy of the whole body gathers. It is responsible for the reproductive ability of the human body, and the amount of vitality required is not small. These vitality are enough to restore the remaining amount after your Majesty's broken limbs... but it is not enough."

Xu Tianran's face couldn't help but darken.

Orange said from the side: "Holy Son, can't the recovery be done in two steps?"

The life demon shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this recovery is the only chance. Your Majesty's limbs are mutilated, so there is naturally a chance of recovery. However, after the limbs are reshaped, the vigorous vitality will condense Your Majesty's body into a whole. To recover later is like adding an extra organ to Your Majesty's body. The difficulty is far beyond that of treatment, and there is basically no possibility of success."

Zhongli Wu listened to the words of the destiny demon, and couldn't help but think of two words in his mind, "professional"!

This sounded like the answer given by a professional, and there seemed to be a complete theory inside. If he had not heard the answer from the fate demon beforehand, he would have believed it.

Even he, a level 98 Super Douluo, could not find the flaw in the words of the Fate Demon. Naturally, Xu Tianran, who was at the highest level of the Titled Douluo, would find it even more difficult to detect.

Xu Tianran was feeling uncertain. He had to succeed today no matter what. Otherwise, he could not guarantee that Zhongli Wu and Ming Yao would act in the same way after knowing his biggest secret. If he was not careful, he, the new Sun and Moon Emperor, would be in danger of being deposed.

Neither the citizens of the Sun-Moon Empire nor the ministers and nobles would allow an emperor without children to sit on the throne.

As for whether the Fate Demon lied, Zhongli Wu and the Fate Demon's performance just now made Xu Tianran temporarily have a certain degree of trust in these two.

The most important thing is that the matter is of great importance and Xu Tianran must not take any risks.

Forcing himself to calm down, Xu Tianran said in a deep voice, "Fate Demon Saint, how much vitality do you need to ensure my complete recovery?"

The Fate Demon was in deep thought and calculating silently. Xu Tianran did not urge him and waited quietly for the Fate Demon's answer.

After a long time, the Life Demon said seriously: "Your Majesty, at least the full vitality of a Titled Douluo-level strongman will be enough."

Xu Tianran stared at the Fate Demon, "Are you sure?"

The fate demon nodded heavily.

"so……".

Xu Tianran leaned his head on the wheelchair, closed his eyes slightly, and moved his lips quietly.

Zhongli Wu's eyes moved slightly and he nodded imperceptibly.

Then, the aura of a level ninety-eight super Douluo exploded and pressed towards Xu Tianran.

The shadows beneath Xu Tianran's feet moved a few times, and an old man suddenly appeared. He instinctively protected Xu Tianran and said anxiously, "Zhongli Wu, are you planning a rebellion? Your Majesty, leave now!"

However, the next moment, the momentum quietly dissipated, and Xue Lao lowered his head in disbelief. A bloody knife tip appeared in front of Xue Lao at some point.

Old Xue wanted to turn around, but he had already lost his strength and could only collapse to the ground helplessly. Only three words echoed in the secret room.

"Xu...Tian...Ran..."

Xu Tianran calmly drew back the sharp blade in his hand, pulled out a white handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the blood off it.

"Master Xue, you can go with peace of mind. I will always remember your contributions to the empire and to me. Your body may not be left behind, but I will build a cenotaph for you. My descendants will also remember your kindness and offer sacrifices to you on time so that your incense will not be cut off."

Xue Lao was no longer able to answer at this time.

Xu Tianran looked at the life demon who looked a little anxious and signaled him to do as he pleased.

The life demon hurried forward, and several branches stretched out with incredible speed and pierced into Xue Lao's body, his face full of regret.

"How much vitality will be wasted, Old Xue, hold on. You are destined to die anyway. This is the last thing you have to do for His Majesty. Hold on."

Old Xue widened his eyes and used up his last bit of strength to glare at the Fate Demon, but the light in his eyes had disappeared.

The Immortal Life and Death Tree on the Life Demon's side was firing at full power. In just a few breaths, it had sucked all of Old Xue's vitality away. The slight movement of the branches when they retracted turned Old Xue's dry body into powder.
