"You rest here for now. I'll go see who has come to visit!"

Jiang Heng did not pay Ye Guyi any attention at first. After settling her down, he went to the hotel's reception area to wait.

Ye Guyi was indeed beautiful, but so what?

Strip away the skin, and there were no more than 206 bones, flesh, blood, filth, hair, and intestines. Only after putting on clothes did one take on eighteen thousand different forms...

She was nothing more than a chess piece!

Before long, the visitor arrived.

He wore splendid robes, and a gentle smile always rested on his face, giving others the feeling of a spring breeze.

Unfortunately, he was seated in a wheelchair.

The visitor's identity was already obvious: the crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire, Xu Tianran!

This was truly something Jiang Heng had not expected.

It was actually this man who had come to visit him.

"And you are...?"

Jiang Heng pretended not to know the other man's identity and asked with a puzzled expression.

As a Soul Beast, Jiang Heng actually found Xu Tianran fairly agreeable.

War was good. Only war brought chaos and death, allowing the strength of human Soul Masters to be depleted on a massive scale.

Among the emperors throughout Douluo's history, the man before him could barely be considered someone noteworthy. As for claims that his methods were despicable and that he would stop at nothing, using such words to judge an emperor was somewhat unfair.

Once his power had stabilized, he had planned to set a trap to dismantle the Holy Spirit Cult's upper ranks. Yet before he could make his move, Ju Zi and Huo Yuhao joined forces to assassinate him.

He was a good partner to work with.

"I am Xu Tianran, crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire. May I ask which country Your Excellency is from?"

"Is there anything I can help Your Excellency with?"

Xu Tianran displayed his humility and respect for talent to the fullest.

Given his status, he had learned before coming here about what Jiang Heng and the others had done within the Pingfan Alliance. When he discovered that this mysterious Title Douluo was actually a remnant of the former Spirit Hall and had slapped a Title Douluo-level Evil Soul Master to death, Xu Tianran immediately felt that an opportunity had arrived.

If he could win over this Title Douluo, not only would he gain another source of support, but he could also use this man to express his attitude to the other remnants of Spirit Hall.

You were suppressed in the Douluo Three Kingdoms? No matter. Come to the Sun Moon Empire. We will treat you with courtesy, welcome talent, and form bonds through mutual benefit.

"Your Highness, Evil Soul Masters can be encountered even in Ming Capital. Do you think I can trust the Sun Moon Empire?"

"And what can you do for me?"

Jiang Heng wanted to use the other man's status to enter Ming Capital and learn Level 9 Soul Tool knowledge as quickly as possible. However, he was currently posing as an unfathomable Title Douluo, so he still had to hold himself back.

"Those Evil Soul Masters truly are brazen and lawless. I can assure Your Excellency that such a thing will never happen again. Once I return, I will have my father issue an order to purge every Evil Soul Master in the empire."

Xu Tianran looked righteously indignant, as though the Evil Soul Masters had nothing whatsoever to do with him.

"That is a matter for your Sun Moon Empire. It has nothing to do with me."

"To be honest, I truly do not think Your Highness can help me. On the contrary, I may be able to help Your Highness."

"For example, I can let Your Highness stand again and regain your manhood..."

Jiang Heng said no more.

Yet upon hearing those words, Xu Tianran's pupils suddenly contracted, and he could no longer maintain his composure.

"This..."

"Your Excellency, what price must I pay?"

Xu Tianran's emotions were instantly stirred. If he could stand again, if he could become a man once more, why would he need to resort to such crooked methods? Who else could threaten his position as crown prince?

"Just today, I found a junior. I do not wish for her to live in fear while in Ming Capital. I want her to receive the best education."

The moment Jiang Heng mentioned it, Xu Tianran immediately agreed. "Leave this matter to me. I can swear upon my martial soul that the young lady will suffer no harm within Ming Capital."

After saying this, Xu Tianran continued to gaze at Jiang Heng with burning eyes.

He knew that this condition alone would not be enough to make the other man help him stand again.

"The times are changing, and the times are progressing. If remnants like us wish to restore the former glory, we must rely on powers beyond Soul Masters. I am very interested in the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Tools."

Jiang Heng brought up another condition.

"As long as Your Excellency is willing, I can not only have people forge Level 9 Soul Tools for you, but also provide the corresponding blueprints and knowledge."

"But I hope Your Excellency can understand one thing: not every Level 9 Soul Engineer's Soul Tool blueprints are within my reach."

This time, Xu Tianran did not agree immediately. Instead, he pondered the feasibility of the matter.

"I have seen Your Highness's sincerity. Since that is the case, I will also offer some sincerity of my own."

"In the Ocean, there is a Soul Beast called the Deep Sea Salamander. As long as you obtain the corresponding two leg Soul Bones, I can make Your Highness stand again."

"As for further restoring your manhood, that concerns a medicinal garden located within the Douluo Three Kingdoms."

Jiang Heng's purpose in entering the Sun Moon Empire was not merely to learn Soul Tool technology.

He needed to use the Sun Moon Empire's power to test what other measures Tang San had hidden in the Ocean.

Besides that, there was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Naturally, he did not wish to miss out on that precious land.

He could indeed rely on Di Tian to search for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but the question was, if Di Tian acted, how much of it would ultimately fall into his hands?

Of course, he also wanted to further push the Sun Moon Empire and the Douluo Three Kingdoms into war.

Every great war would claim countless powerful Soul Masters. For Soul Beasts, that was time to catch their breath.

However, he naturally would not allow either side to unify the continent in one sweep.

Besides, he did not need to interfere in such matters. The one in the heavens would not sit by and watch the Douluo and Sun Moon continents become one.

"Thank you for the reminder, Your Excellency. The corresponding items will be delivered this afternoon."

"May I ask what Your Excellency's title is?"

Xu Tianran had come intending to win Jiang Heng over, but he had not expected it to turn into a partnership. He knew the other man was using him, but as long as he could stand again, none of that mattered.

"My title is Crocodile God!"

Jiang Heng answered in a deep voice, both responding and setting the stage for the other man's arrangements.

"Your Excellency Crocodile God, this is my identity token. With it, you may enter the Sun Moon Empire's imperial palace at any time. At any chamber of commerce in Ming Capital, you will have a credit limit of one hundred million Gold Soul Coins."

Xu Tianran had now calmed himself and once more became the refined young gentleman he was said to be.

After exchanging a few cordial words, Xu Tianran finally departed.

The moment he left the hotel, Xu Tianran issued two orders.

The first was to contact the Holy Spirit Cult. For the sake of their cooperation plan, they were not to make a move against Ye Guyi for the time being. Once the plan succeeded, there would be ample opportunity to kill her.

The second order was for the legions under his command to head out to sea and hunt Soul Beasts.

For the sake of standing again, Xu Tianran decided to have the Soul Guidance Master Legion bring a Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon.

He refused to believe that detonating it directly in the Ocean would fail to blast out the Soul Bones he needed.
