Chapter 166 Obey or Destroy
The Demonic Forest, where the Holy Order’s headquarters appears.
This old site left by the Holy Spirit Church can still be lived in after being renovated several times, but there is no need to completely renovate it because it can be relocated soon.
Lu Xueling disguised himself as Emperor Lan, and with the two Herrsers Corrosion and Domination accompanying him, he sat suspended in the air to welcome the arrival of the Sun and Moon royal family.
The Crown Prince and His Majesty walked in front, and brought with them five Titled Douluo, including Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming, to visit.
Seeing three people hanging in the air in the forest opposite, Prince Xu Tianran's expression changed slightly, but then returned to normal.
This organization that destroyed the Holy Spirit Church, the Holy Mandate, seemed even more mysterious than the former. At least he could not see any clues about the two women beside the leader Di Lan.
The person who was able to defeat the Benti Sect led by Du Bu Si head-on is indeed no ordinary person!
"Hello, the Holy Bishop, Di Lan." His Majesty the Sun and the Moon bowed slightly to Di Lan as a greeting.
[Emperor Lan] remained silent. He just raised his hand slightly, and a spatial fluctuation covered an area of 50 meters in radius. The golden light flowed and changed, covering the space.
[Emperor Lan] didn't have any explanation, but this was enough to prove: the confidentiality of the conversation was guaranteed.
Xu Tianran looked at the man in front of him. The pair of pupils that appeared from behind the mask looked silent and deep, as if there was no end, making it difficult to guess.
[Emperor Lan] looked very young, even younger than him, but the aura he exuded was extremely heavy, making people feel a strong sense of oppression. It felt like he didn't take anything in this world seriously at all.
The atmosphere was silent for a while.
"Long live the Sun and Moon Empire."
【Emperor Lan】's first words made everyone freeze in shock.
Xu Tianran: “……?”
"...Hahaha, just kidding. Use a friendly opening to try to create a harmonious atmosphere for our conversation."
[Emperor Lan] laughed and broke the deadlock. "Let's get back to the point. Welcome His Majesty and the Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire. I know that one day, you will not be able to resist your curiosity and come to see me. So, what are you all here for?"
Xu Tianran took a deep breath and said slowly: "Your Excellency Di Lan, I, the Sun and Moon Royal Family, have made the bold move to come here today in the hope of obtaining the Holy Mandate's help."
"If you make a request, you must pay a price. What will you use in exchange for the support of the Holy Mission?"
[Emperor Lan]'s tone was flat and cold, with no emotion to be heard. He seemed to be asking Xu Tianran, but there was a hint of teasing in his eyes.
Xu Tianran seemed to have expected this scene. He waved to Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming. The two highly respected soul masters stepped forward together and each took out a soul guide device that looked very valuable.
One piece was a very thin looking piece of metal, emitting a soft golden halo throughout, with fine and regular lines of openwork, yet full of creativity and imagination. There was no soul power fluctuation seeping out of it, and there was a faint golden halo flashing through it, the light was not strong, but it was extremely eye-catching.
As for the other one, it was a dark-colored cannonball engraved with mysterious patterns and strange and complicated rune patterns. An ice-blue halo was flowing, which seemed to be able to freeze anything into ice.
A defensive soul guide weapon and a soul guide fixed-type artillery shell, both of which are level nine.
[Emperor Lan] raised his lips slightly, a faint smile appeared on his face, "It seems that the Sun-Moon Imperial Family has really spent a lot of money to win me over. This makes this bishop curious, what big trouble has the Sun-Moon Empire encountered recently?"
Seeing that the negotiations seemed to be going well, Xu Tianran quickly told her about Qian Renxue and the recent condemnation of the Sun Moon Empire by the entire continent.
[Emperor Lan] raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of mockery flashed in the depths of his eyes. And Xu Tianran seemed to have noticed his pause.
"Very good." He thought so. Up to now, the content of the conversation was still under his control, but next, facing this strong man who could defeat the Body Sect by himself, he had to be careful, very, very careful.
"Can I check the goods first?" [Emperor Lan] suddenly spoke, pointing at Hongchen Blessing and the fixed-type shell.
"Of course." Xu Tianran did not refuse.
However, Emperor Lan did not personally inspect the goods, but handed them to the Herrscher of Corrosion beside him: "Little Eclipse, take a look?"
"Yes." The Herrscher of Corrosion responded respectfully. She certainly understood what Lu Xueling meant. She took the two soul guides in her hands, and a very inconspicuous dark blue light shot out from her fingertips and merged into the two soul guides.
"It's the real thing." The Herrscher of Erosion smiled slightly and handed the two soul guides back.
"Okay." [Emperor Lan]'s tone seemed to rise a little: "Then I have another question, Crown Prince, Your Majesty, you just said that even the people of Sun and Moon have begun to protest. Is that true?"
His Majesty Sun and Moon's expression became more serious. He was silent for a while before answering, "Yes, I don't know why. Not to mention Gu Youyue, she is a soul beast. But even my Sun and Moon people are very resistant to the god of the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago, the God of Angels. I don't know why, we obviously have no connection at all..."
After hearing this, [Emperor Lan] showed a faint arc at the corner of his mouth, as if smiling: "So can I assume that the Sun and Moon Royal Family is about to lose the power to rule this country?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen's expressions changed slightly.
[Emperor Lan]'s question is really tricky and thought-provoking.
It was like a knife stabbed into the throat of the Sun and Moon royal family, causing their breathing to unconsciously become rapid.
Even the Crown Prince Xu Tianran's face froze: "Mr. Di Lan... this..."
"Can't answer? That means you agree." Emperor Lan's tone remained calm, but the hearts of the people on the Sun and Moon side present were beating wildly.
"Since the people no longer support you, in my opinion, your Xu family should abdicate and let the wise take over. This is also the custom since ancient times, right?"
"What?!" Xu Tianran's face froze, and his eyes instantly turned gloomy. "Sir Di Lan, isn't it a bit too much to say that?"
As the current crown prince, one can imagine how eager he is for the throne, but Emperor Lan now tells him to let the Xu family abdicate and let the wise man take over?
This is already a humiliation.
[Emperor Lan] raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of amusement flashed across his eyes, "Did this bishop say something wrong?"
His Majesty Sun and Moon almost lost his grip on the scepter and coughed violently a few times: "Cough cough cough... Your Excellency Di Lan, you are making it sound so light? If my Xu family abdicates, who will take on this important task?"
Lu Xueling smiled faintly: "It's very simple, I will sit on the throne, right?"
"you!!"
Beep beep…
In an instant, all the soul guides brought by Sun and Moon's group made buzzing sounds, the defensive ones failed and could not be activated, while the offensive ones were activated and their power was maximized!
The Herrscher of Corrosion sneered, tilted his head, and flicked the dark blue light on his fingertips.
Lu Xueling no longer concealed himself and snapped his fingers. Xilin, Huo Yuhao, Tang Ya, and Gu Youyue walked out of the void and surrounded Ri Yue and his group.
"I don't need any of your promised benefits. Obey or be destroyed. These are the only two choices you have!"
