Xu Tianran's Fury

Radiant City, within the imperial palace.

The many Rank 9 Soul Masters who had rushed back from the western side of Radiant City and inspected the area around the imperial palace as quickly as possible, including the three towering figures of the Soul Engineer world—Kong Deming, Jing Hongchen, and Ye Yulin—had gathered within the palace.

Anyone unaware of the situation might have thought they were staging a coup!

Xu Tianran's face was expressionless, but his eyes were as cold as ten-thousand-year ice from the deepest reaches of the Far North!

"So you're saying Jiang Ming scared all of you off with a single sentence?!"

Xu Tianran looked up at the Rank 9 Soul Masters around him, his gaze seeming ready to kill!

That look left the Rank 9 Soul Masters around him afraid to speak. The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was nearly impossible to breathe.

In the end, Kong Deming, the highest-ranking among them and also a member of the imperial family, spoke up.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, we did not dare gamble!"

His voice carried a long sigh and deep helplessness.

Even if it had only been one sentence from Jiang Ming, an absurd sentence that was nearly impossible!

They still had not dared gamble!

Because the cost of losing was too heavy—so heavy that the entire Sun Moon Empire could not bear it!

Xu Tianran's face twisted with fury.

"Didn't dare gamble?! Do none of you use your brains? Where could Jiang Ming possibly have gotten so many Rank 9 Fixed Soul Cannonballs?!"

He was truly furious. The flames of rage in his heart were nearly enough to scatter his reason!

How much manpower and resources had he expended to kill Jiang Ming?

Was mobilizing more than twenty Rank 9 Soul Masters so easy? The
