Xu Tianxi suddenly realized why the former emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire, He Caitou's father, was killed along with his entire family by an evil soul master in the palace, and why Kong Deming and other ninth-level soul guides of the worship hall, as well as the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guide Corps that was responsible for guarding the emperor, just sat there and watched.
Judging from Xu Tianran's security team behind him, even if Ye Xishui took action personally, it would not be easy to kill the former emperor's entire family silently. The only explanation is that this group of people just stood by and watched.
If any of the worship hall, the royal family, or the military had been willing to protect him, the former emperor would not have ended up being wiped out overnight.
As an emperor, he lost power and humiliated the country, insisted on peace, exiled a group of pro-war military figures, and forced several military giants to death. Wouldn't the military, which had a long-standing grudge against the original Three Kingdoms, hate this bastard to death?
How could the royal family save its reputation by forcing a ninth-level soul master who was born in the royal family and rooted in the military to death in front of the imperial palace? How many people's interests were harmed?
They would be crazy to continue to support this dog emperor.
What? The emperor's brother wants to stage a coup? That's great! Kill him quickly! This "Wanyan Gou" should die sooner and be reborn sooner. Even if a tyrant comes to power, he won't be worse than him!
Kong Deming, the patron saint of the Sun-Moon Empire, is also a proponent of war. Now, you guys should quickly kill this peace-loving bastard. I will only focus on researching soul guides and not take care of anything else!
Let alone this fantasy world where great power belongs to oneself, even in the previous life, when the valiant old Qin was about to go east, the person sitting on the throne wanted to negotiate peace, and he could not escape the fate of rolling down! "According to what you said, my mother and her family are all loyal people who were harmed by the former emperor. Now that the dog emperor is dead, it is appropriate for me to go to the Sun and Moon Empire to avenge my mother?"
Xu Tianxi thought seriously about his current identity. Now he realized that going to the Sun-Moon Empire was not a defection from the Three Kingdoms, but a return to his motherland, his mother's homeland.
Old Yue wiped his tears and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, now that the new emperor has taken office, in order to win the support of the military, he has pardoned all the families that were exiled that year, and restored the reputation of the old master and his family."
As he spoke, he took out a very old purple gold token from his storage ring, bent down, and handed it to Xu Tianxi with great care.
"This is what the old master left behind. It is the token that allowed him to lead the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Group. It represents his status. Young Master, the young lady only said to keep this thing as a souvenir. Now I am handing it over to you."
"Don't worry, Old Yue. Since it is a relic of our ancestors, I will take good care of it." Xu Tianxi stared at the luxurious token engraved with the image of a purple dragon. He knew that this was the appearance of the Zihuang Mie Tianlong, so he took it and kept it safe.
"Hmm..." Old Yue was overwhelmed with emotion and could not control himself for a moment. He said goodbye to Xu Tianxi and the others and left.
It was already noon.
Xiao Changfeng looked at the sky and smiled, "Little nephew, let's go have dinner first. After dinner, I will tell you my story. My experience is a bit mysterious, but I am luckier than your mother."
"Okay, I'm also a little curious about your experience, Master."
Xu Tianxi let out a long sigh, responded, and followed Xiao Changfeng to the dining hall. Various delicious meals were served one after another. Almost all of them were seafood, some of which even Xu Tianxi had never seen before.
"The elixirs refined by the sect require a large amount of essence and blood of water-attributed animal and plant soul beasts. That's why we built the headquarters of the Xuanwu Chamber of Commerce in Hanhai City. Uncle Master has a lot of good things here. Eat as much as you want, don't be restrained."
Xiao Changfeng raised his hand and patted Xu Tianxi's shoulder, motioning him to sit down. He also gave Xu Tianxi some dietary advice. Foods like shark oil extracted from the body fat of the thousand-year-old great white shark, whale brain from the head of the thousand-year-old evil killer whale, whale glue and tonic soup made from turtle scales, etc., were all great supplements for the mind and body.
After eating them for two years, the effects of these things are certainly not as good as the first time, but the nutrition they can provide is also very huge. Xu Tianxi never treats himself badly when it comes to "eating".
Without much talk, Xu Tianxi treated eating as a form of practice and battle, devoting himself to it wholeheartedly. He also decided to write a letter to Xu Sanshi tonight to share his feelings.
He needs to feel a sense of participation in such a good thing, just like looking at the plum to quench his thirst.
As early as a year ago, Xu Sanshi broke through to the Soul Master level. Now he is doing well in Shrek and is known as the best defensive soul master in the outer courtyard. I have to increase his intensity and not let him get tired.
After having enough wine and food, Xiao Changfeng began to tell a story. Xu Tianxi sat upright and listened to the story. The expression in his eyes changed repeatedly, from surprise to understanding, and then to deep emotion...
The story is not too new. Xiao Changfeng, like Kong Xiyue, is from a branch of the royal family, but Kong Xiyue is from the royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire, while Xiao Changfeng is from the royal family of the Tianhun Empire.
His father is an old prince of the Tianhun Empire and an uncle of the current Tianhun Emperor. His mother was of humble origins and was a cook in the palace. Her surname was Xiao. Xiao Changfeng was born after the old prince had sex with her after getting drunk.
The princess was not jealous, she just looked down upon these "bastards" who tarnished the royal bloodline and sent them all to the kitchen to do odd jobs. The only hope of the young Xiao Changfeng was to awaken a strong martial soul so that he could get some resources and improve the situation of mother and son.
At this time, his own master appeared again - Xu Xiaoyun, who loved eating, wandered into the old prince's kitchen and acted as a thief. After eating a few delicacies, he found them appetizing and found Xiao Changfeng and his mother.
After understanding the situation, Xu Xiaoyun did not hesitate much and directly took the pitiful mother and son out of the palace and brought them back to Xuanming Sect.
Afterwards, Xu Xiaoyun felt that Xiao Changfeng was smart and had a good impression, so he gave him some elixirs to improve his health. Xiao Changfeng did not disappoint him. At the age of six, he not only awakened his innate full soul power, but also awakened his mutated martial soul, the Ice Crystal Phoenix.
The power of the Phoenix Martial Spirit is beyond doubt. Xu Xiaoyun, who was excited to see the prey, accepted Xiao Changfeng as his disciple. After teaching him for nine years, he sent him to the Xingluo Royal Soul Master Academy for training.
Xiao Changfeng changed his appearance in the Xingluo Royal Academy and reached the high-level Soul Emperor level before the age of twenty. He led his team to sweep all the teams in the Heavenly Soul Empire. That competition happened to be held in Tiandou City. After the war, he returned to the Xuanming Sect to practice in seclusion.
After breaking through the ninety-sixth level, he became very powerful. He came out of seclusion and secretly abolished the old princess who had embarrassed them and their son. He came to the Xuanwu Chamber of Commerce to be the president.
This experience is definitely a revengeful Huo Yuhao!
Very good, it seems that his master's lineage has a special tradition of collecting royal nobles from several major empires and sending them to countries or forces that they don't like to train.
It doesn't matter if there are no talented disciples, just go to the imperial family to find one! Except for the bunch of rubbish in the Douling Empire, the other three families are capable of producing talents.
"So, Master, you must be the most outstanding genius in the history of the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy, right? Didn't the Star Luo Empire give you any benefits back then and persuade you to stay with them?" Xu Tianxi joked.
"They did offer a lot of benefits, but I'm not very interested."
Xiao Changfeng picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said calmly, "Whatever they can give, the teacher can give; what they can't give, the teacher can also give; with the teacher's strength, they dare not force me to stay."
"Among the three empires, the Xingluo Empire has the strongest military power and soul guide technology, but in terms of soul master strength, it is much weaker than the Tianhun Empire. The gap in Titled Douluo is not big, but the gap in Super Douluo is big."
Xu Tianxi's eyes turned and he asked in surprise, "What do you mean? I heard from my master that the Xingluo Empire has a worship hall that is dedicated to the worship of Titled Douluo and Super Douluo. The world's number one healing spirit master, Medical Immortal Douluo, is there."
"No matter how powerful the Medical Immortal Douluo is, he can't save the life of the Lord of the Worship Hall. What's the use?"
Xiao Changfeng shook his head and said, "The current head of the Xingluo Empire's Worship Hall is an ancestor of the Xingluo Imperial Family. The Xu family of the Xingluo Imperial Family was originally a hidden sect, the Xingguan Sect. The Xingguan martial spirit they inherited is of higher quality than most top martial spirits. That Xingguan ancestor also has a cultivation base of level ninety-eight, and his combat power is not bad."
"But time is not forgiving. He is older than the teacher, Moon and the others. He has not been out and about for a long time. It is said that he has been secluded in the Worship Hall for many years.
The teacher speculated that the current state of the Xingguan Patriarch is probably very bad, and it is even a question whether he can take action. He may even have died, but the Xingluo royal family has kept it a secret. "
"Is that so? No wonder Xuan Laodeng is so arrogant in the Xingluo Empire. No one from the Xingluo Empire came out to calm the situation. It seems that even if Xingguan Patriarch is not dead, he is almost the same as Mu En..."
After learning the secrets of the Star Luo Empire from Xiao Changfeng, and recalling how Xuan Zi openly threatened everyone in the Star Luo Empire in the original novel, "If anything happens to my Shrek disciples, I will go crazy here," and he also confidently said, "It seems that no one here can stop me from going crazy," Xu Tianxi suddenly understood and felt a little sad for the Star Luo Empire.
Fists are the real truth. If there is no top strong person in the family, you can't speak with confidence.
"Except for Star Crown Patriarch and Medical Immortal Douluo, there are no other figures worthy of attention in the Xingluo Empire's Worship Hall. At the level of Super Douluo, they may not even be able to suppress our Xuanming Sect, so there is no need to take them too seriously."
Xiao Changfeng had a calm expression, and his brows revealed a kind of calm confidence.
Xu Tianxi couldn't help laughing and said, "That's right, Master, you are a level 96 Super Douluo with the Ice Crystal Phoenix spirit, and your spirit ring configuration is strong. I'm afraid that even a level 97 Super Douluo can't beat you."
Hearing this, Xiao Changfeng's eyes showed thoughtfulness, and he tapped the table with his knuckles, as if he was weighing his chances of winning: "There are only two well-known level 97 Super Douluo in the soul master world, Tianyang Douluo of the Soul Spirit Empire and Qingying Douluo of Shrek. I have never fought with them, but their martial spirits are not as good as mine, and their blood and qi are not as abundant as mine..."
The corner of Xu Tianxi's mouth twitched, thinking to himself, you really counted it in. These two are old veterans in the soul master world, of course they are not as young and strong as you.
"I think, instead of thinking about this, you might as well calculate when you can make the next step forward. If you break through to level ninety-seven, they will definitely not be a match for you, a rising star." Xu Tianxi said sincerely.
Xiao Changfeng shook his head when he heard this, sighed, and said, "This is really not easy. Even if you give me ten years, I can't guarantee a breakthrough."
"This is normal, just take it slow..." Xu Tianxi encouraged kindly.
"Unless I stop caring about external affairs and concentrate on seclusion from now on, there would be a good chance, but this is impossible." Xiao Changfeng thought for a while and said again.
"You really are..."
Xu Tianxi's eyes twitched and he was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
As if realizing that his words were difficult to respond to, Xiao Changfeng laughed to resolve the awkwardness and said loudly:
"Little nephew, you don't have to envy me. Although your ultimate martial spirit will be cultivated very slowly after level 30, we will do our best to help you improve quickly. When you become a Titled Douluo and start to cultivate your second martial spirit, that will be the time for you to exert your strength. By then, it will be just around the corner for you to catch up with or even surpass me."
Xu Tianxi's eyes flickered, and he said, "After deep meditation, I have some ideas about how to fight. Master, can you give me some pointers?"
"Okay, come on."
