"I have caught some evidence against the Xing Luo Empire, and after some negotiations, Meng, this soul bone is now handed over to you."
Jing Hongchen was about to give the soul bone to Meng Hongchen. After all, Jing Hongchen knew that Xiao Qiang had soul bones in both arms, so without any hesitation, he was ready to give the soul bone directly to Meng Hongchen.
But Meng Hongchen refused. "Grandpa, this soul bone should be given to Xiao Qiang. After all, he is the one who contributed the most in this game."
Meng Hongchen directly rejected the soul bone, and then Xiao Qiang was not polite and took the soul bone directly, while using spirit sharing to convey a message to Jing Hongchen.
"Teacher, the soul bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion can only be absorbed by a soul master with the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul. If other soul masters absorb this soul bone, they will only suffer backlash."
When Jing Hongchen heard the voice that Xiao Qiang transmitted to him alone through mind sharing, cold sweat broke out on his face under the mask.
"I was wondering why this soul bone came so easily. It turned out to be waiting for me here. Fortunately, you reminded me. Damn it, I will remember this matter of Xingluo Empire. Since they dared to cheat me on the soul bone of the competition, then don't blame Mingde Hall for having problems with the soul guide in the future."
Jing Hongchen cursed inwardly. He knew that the Xingluo Empire could be shameless sometimes, but he didn't expect that even something like the champion's prize would be problematic.
In the end, Jing Hongchen gave the Ice Scorpion's soul bone to Xiao Qiang, and the other two ten-thousand-year soul bones were given to the two regular team members of this competition.
Except for the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone, the other two ten thousand year soul bones were of ordinary quality. Not to mention that Xiao Qiang didn't want that kind of ordinary ten thousand year soul bone, even if Xiao Qiang wanted it, Jing Hongchen would not agree to Xiao Qiang absorbing soul bones of that quality.
The Sun-Moon Empire is not Shrek. It is a completely hostile country, so the soul bones it gives out naturally cannot be good soul bones. If the prizes of the competition had not been determined to be ten thousand year soul bones from the beginning, the Star Luo Empire might even have only given out some thousand year soul bones of relatively ordinary quality.
The soul bones were quickly distributed, and then Jing Hongchen brought Xiao Qiang and others to the nearby military camp to rest.
From the moment they left the capital of the Star Luo Empire, they had been traveling at a high intensity for fear of being ambushed by Shrek's men or the Star Luo Empire. The pressure on everyone during this period was quite high.
However, when they arrived at the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Corps, everyone felt much more at ease.
With the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Corps around, the Star Luo Empire can do nothing to anyone. After all, the combat power of the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Corps is there.
Although Dai Hao has always been called the God of War, but looking at the entire Peerless Tang Sect, the army led by Dai Hao is either being beaten by the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guide Corps or on the way to being beaten by the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guide Corps, so there is no need to worry about sneak attacks from the Star Luo Empire.
Of course, Jing Hongchen came to the military camp not only to get some temporary respite, he also had another purpose.
"Captain Xu, may I borrow your military's communication with the Imperial Capital?"
…………
Sun-Moon Empire, imperial capital, inside the imperial palace.
The current emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire was lying half-dead on the bed, sighing.
As the younger brother of the previous emperor, he had been looking forward to the throne since he was young.
But he was not the eldest son after all, and his elder brother was more loved by his father. Therefore, after his father passed away, his elder brother naturally inherited the throne, and he was the only prince of the Sun and Moon Empire.
He was not content to be just a prince. After all, emperor and prince were two completely different concepts. He wanted to go further and become emperor, but this idea was just a thought at first.
Although the position of emperor was very tempting, he knew his own limitations. In addition, his elder brother was quite good to him, and he had always been given all kinds of good things. As he grew older, although he still dreamed of the throne, he did not have the courage to take the most important step.
He should have lived a dull life as a prince, but his eldest brother had been to Shrek Academy and had some connections there. He came to believe that soul guides were bad, and began to strictly forbid the development of highly offensive soul guides.
The reason is peace-loving, but the Sun-Moon Empire can do without highly offensive soul guides, but it cannot do without them.
As soon as his eldest brother's so-called peace-loving decree was issued, the research on high-attack soul guides was stopped, and Xingluo and Tianhun, who were originally suppressed by the Sun-Moon Empire in military terms, began to show their fangs to the Sun-Moon Empire.
The former emperor, who did not want to continue the war, naturally agreed to Tianhun and Xingluo's demands, but the price offered by Tianhun and Xingluo and their attitude towards the Sun and Moon Empire angered almost all the nobles.
Originally, if it was just to anger the nobles, the previous emperor would not be killed. After all, no noble wanted to do regicide, and no noble dared to do it.
But until his eldest son Xu Tianran appeared.
Unlike himself, his eldest son Xu Tianran not only has a strong desire for the throne like himself, but he also dares to think and act, and will do anything to achieve his goals.
After all, there were still some loyal ministers around the previous emperor, and those nobles did not want to be the first to stand out, so Xu Tianran found someone who could be the first to stand out.
While he was just thinking about it and was not sure whether to do it or not, Xu Tianran had already secretly contacted the evil soul master to take the lead, and with absolutely powerful force, he sent his eldest brother's entire family to meet his father.
Because his eldest son acted very cleanly, and patricide was something that an emperor absolutely could not do, he successfully ascended the throne.
The good news is that he successfully sat on the throne of emperor. The bad news is that he was not an emperor through normal succession, but was collectively pushed up by many great nobles after regicide. The great nobles pushed you up for some benefits. If there were no benefits, why would they allow you, a person with obvious suspicion of regicide, to be the emperor?
Did he really think that a kid like He Caitou, who wasn't even level 20, could escape the massacre that even Titled Douluo participated in? In order to ensure that the throne could be firmly established, the current emperor had no choice but to start delegating power to gain the support of the nobles. The result was obvious. All the nobles acquiesced to the current emperor's actions. No noble saw the regicide at all. The current emperor was a normal successor to the throne. This was a benefit given to the current emperor by the nobles.
The benefit that the current emperor brings to other great nobles is that he has become the emperor, but the power he actually controls is not much greater than that of his prince son.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
He had to follow the rules in many things, and he could not seize the rights of certain nobles at will unless the nobles made obvious mistakes.
In this way, the current emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire sat firmly on the throne, but as time went on, he discovered that he seemed to be not as good as the former prince.
In addition, although no one talked about it, the fact of regicide was true. When he thought about how he killed his eldest brother's entire family, but ended up getting a throne with little power, he became so angry that he became sick.
He now has the reputation of a traitor, but he has never enjoyed any real power. What's more, he doesn't dare to really go to war with the original Douluo Three Kingdoms and become an emperor of a unified country. He can imagine how his descendants will curse him when he dies.
"Is there no good news? Even if it only improves my reputation!"
He has done nothing good after usurping the throne. Won't he be infamous for eternity?
"Your Majesty, the results of the continental advanced soul master competition are out." As the Sun-Moon Emperor was reminiscing about the past, a eunuch ran over and said.
"Are you the second again? Back off. I understand."
"Your Majesty, this time the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy did not rank second, but first. This time our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy successfully defeated Shrek and won the championship of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition."
As soon as the eunuch finished reporting, he saw the emperor, who was lying on the bed with a sick look, suddenly stood up.
"What did you say?"
"Your Majesty, this time the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy ranked first instead of second."
"Okay, okay! Ten thousand years ago, Shrek Academy defeated Spirit Hall, and since then Shrek Academy has always been number one on the continent. Now, the number one will finally fall into the hands of my Sun Moon Royal Spirit Instructor Academy!"
"So, all participants in this competition will be made earls first! I will give additional rewards to those who have made contributions!"
The Sun and Moon Emperor said excitedly that with this achievement, he would at least no longer be a traitor who would be infamous for eternity.
