Mingdu Courtyard.
Qian Daoliu looked at Dugu Bo, who had just stepped into the courtyard.
Dugu Bo was covered in dust and grime, but his bright green eyes shone with excitement.
"How's the investigation going?" Qian Daoliu asked.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo rolled his eyes and remarked, "I've come to realize that every country in this era has its own unique skills."
Dugu Bo strode to the stone table, sat down without any ceremony, grabbed the wine pot, and poured himself a cup.
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu immediately became interested and said, "Oh? Tell me about it."
Dugu Bo downed his drink in one gulp, leaned back in his chair, and let out a long breath.
"It's similar to what Xiao Mo said; the entire Sun Moon Empire is rotten to the core, but the extent of its rot is probably even worse than you imagine."
Then, Dugu Bo slowly recounted the results of his investigation over the past period.
"Currently, the nominal ruler of the Sun Moon Empire is the old emperor of the Sun Moon Empire. However, due to some reasons, the old emperor's health is not as good as before, and he is bedridden."
The affairs of state were basically handled by Crown Prince Xu Tianran..."
"Wasn't he the one who colluded with the Evil Soul Master?" Qian Daoliu asked.
Dugu Bo nodded and said, "That's right. It was him. Not only did he collude with the Evil Soul Master, but he also recognized that Evil Soul Master as his godmother."
At this point, Dugu Bo scoffed.
The crown prince of a nation, the future successor to the empire, actually recognized Evil Soul Master as his godmother.
This left Dugu Bo speechless.
He had seen many absurd things, but to do something like recognizing a thief as one's father, especially by an imperial prince, was utterly ridiculous.
At this moment, Dugu Bo, who had been thinking about this, suddenly became interested, looked at Qian Daoliu, and asked with a mysterious expression:
Do you know what my biggest discovery was during my infiltration of the Sun Moon Empire's palace?
Qian Daoliu shook his head.
Upon seeing this, Dugu Bo said with a smirk, "The Crown Prince is colluding with Evil Soul Master Evil Soul Master masters, attempting to use their power to aid his ascension to the throne. That's secondary."
"The most interesting thing is his father's illness. His father wasn't bedridden because of that, but because he was poisoned..."
At this point, Dugu Bo looked at Qian Daoliu with a playful expression.
"Someone poisoned him? Don't tell me it was Xu Tianran. If that's the case, it'll be a bit like a loving father and filial son!" Qian Daoliu asked.
"You're right."
Dugu Bo shrugged. "The poison in Xu Tianran's father's body was administered by Xu Tianran himself. Although he didn't do it himself, it's no different."
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu's lips twitched.
"You see, this situation is exactly the same as what Xiao Xue did when she infiltrated the Heaven Dou Empire's palace in place of Xue Qinghe."
Dugu Bo smiled mischievously, "They all poisoned the emperor under the guise of being the crown prince, hoping to kill him quickly so they could ascend the throne as the rightful heirs."
"The only difference is that Xiao Xue was only impersonating the Crown Prince, while Xu Tianran is that old man's own son..."
"This is indeed quite a display of filial piety..." Qian Daoliu ignored Dugu Bo's teasing without changing his expression.
"However, the reason why this crown prince was so eager to turn against his own father was that he wanted to ascend the throne and become emperor."
"Could it be that something's wrong with him that's causing him to be unable to delay?" Qian Daoliu looked at Dugu Bo and asked the question that had been bothering him.
"That should only be one aspect of the reason," Dugu Bo waved his hand, his tone full of teasing.
"After all, what prince can reign for fifty years?"
Dugu Bo chuckled and continued, "After observing for this period of time, I can confirm that Xu Tianran, the crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire, is definitely an ambitious person."
Calling him a ruthless and ambitious figure wouldn't be an exaggeration, but unfortunately, his own flaws were too great...
"In his early years, due to Sucker Punch by his brother, Xu Tianran became a cripple and lost both his legs."
This put him at a disadvantage from the start compared to his brothers, as the heir to the imperial throne.
"If it weren't for his ruthless methods and the fact that he had a group of loyal supporters, he probably would have lost his position as crown prince long ago."
However, setting aside his physical defects, this guy is quite outstanding in both his methods and cultivation.
In his early thirties, his cultivation had already reached the level of Eight-Ring Soul Douluo!
"If that's all there is to it, he might be able to wait, right?" Qian Daoliu asked, voicing his doubts.
A person who reaches the Soul Douluo level in their thirties will have a lifespan far longer than that of an ordinary person.
No matter how healthy his father is, he will wait.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo shrugged and said, "Indeed, if that's all there is to it, with his Soul Douluo- level lifespan, if he continues to wait, his father will eventually pass the throne to him."
But the key issue is that, based on my observations over this period of time, this guy is not only disabled, but also very likely a eunuch...
Dugu Bo's voice was low, but his tone was unusually firm.
Can you believe that a member of the royal family is over thirty years old and still doesn't have a wife or concubine?
Dugu Bo and Ye Linyuan, who possesses the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, have known each other for so long that Dugu Bo's medical skills have greatly improved since their first meeting.
He was over 90% certain that his assessment of Xu Tianran's health was correct.
"Eunuch?"
"If the Crown Prince of the Empire is impotent, then everything he has done speaks volumes..."
Xu Tianran's physical disability already put him at a disadvantage compared to the other princes in the competition for the throne.
Although this deficiency can be compensated for in other ways,
However, if it were revealed that Xu Tianran was an impotent eunuch, then he would almost certainly be ineligible for the throne.
This kind of thing can be suppressed for a short time, but if he really becomes the crown prince for fifty years, the truth will eventually be exposed.
No wonder Tianran was so eager to kill his own father and couldn't wait to ascend the throne.
Not only did he not want to be the crown prince for fifty years, but if this situation really dragged on, he was afraid he wouldn't even be able to save his own life.
After conducting their investigations within the territory of Mingdu for some time, Qian Daoliu and Dugu Bo had gained a general understanding of the development of the Japanese Imperial Family.
The throne of the Japanese Empire was not originally intended for Xu Tianran and his father. His father was able to inherit the throne because he launched a coup and usurped it through bloody means.
Under normal circumstances, Soul Master have a longer lifespan than ordinary people, and his father is Soul Douluo.
Living to eighty or ninety years old is perfectly normal, let alone many.
This was absolutely unacceptable to Xu Tianran.
As an ambitious man, he could not tolerate actually being a crown prince for fifty years.
"What do you plan to do with Xu Tianran, and the Evil Soul Master who colluded with him?" Dugu Bo asked.
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu said, "It would be easy to wipe out this group of Evil Soul Master, but even with Lin Mo's protection, we would inevitably be exposed to the public."
Putting everything else aside, once my Six-Winged Angel and your Jade Phosphor Martial Soul are exposed, Tang San's spies on the Douluo Continent will easily determine our identities."
"It'll alert the enemy, won't it?" Dugu Bo said.
"Right."
Qian Daoliu nodded and continued, "Killing people is easy, but after killing them, we must not let the Sun Moon Empire fall into too much turmoil."
If the Sun Moon Empire falls into chaos, it will not only hinder our efforts to gather Power of Faith for Xiao Mo, but will also backfire and cause trouble for Xiao Mo.
He and Dugu Bo were assigned to help Lin Mo, not to cause trouble for Lin Mo.
"Find someone to replace Xu Tianran and become the new emperor of the Sun Moon Empire?" Dugu Bo asked.
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I'm thinking for now."
Dugu Bo quickly shook his head and said, "If that's the case, it would probably be quite complicated to implement."
The princes who were capable of challenging Xu Tianran for the throne had all met with unforeseen accidents for various reasons...
"These are minor matters."
Qian Daoliu waved his hand with a smile, "Who says only men can be emperors? Why not just choose a female emperor?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, then slapped his thigh and agreed with Qian Daoliu's statement.
They, or more precisely, Qian Daoliu, were already quite adept at this kind of thing.
Back then, Qian Renxue disguised herself as Xue Qinghe and infiltrated the Heaven Dou Empire for many years, successfully ascending the throne as the crown prince.
This time, however, they must not only quietly turn the emperor into one of their own, but also wipe out a large number of Evil Soul Master here.
Qian Daoliu was unconsciously drawn into deep thought.
If he's mistaken, the Xu family has a princess with some talent Xu Tianzhen.
Sun Martial Soul.
Having already taken on one apprentice, he wouldn't mind taking on another.
If I just want to have normal contact with this Princess Tianzhen, I guess I'll have to rely on my newly accepted disciple Ye Guyi.
Not long after, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Lin Mo slowly awoke from the Extreme Cold Yin Spring, opened his eyes, and flew into the air.
Lin Mo casually waved his hand, shaking off all the spring water from his clothes and body.
He subconsciously looked in the direction of Yang Spring.
Just as Lin Mo looked over, a massive figure suddenly burst out from Yang Spring.
Lin Mo saw the Charizard that appeared at almost the same time as him.
"Roar!"
Upon seeing Lin Mo, the Charizard roared excitedly, flapped its wings, and arrived beside Lin Mo.
Charizard lowered its head, bringing its massive head close to Lin Mo's face.
Lin Mo smiled slightly and scratched the Charizard's chin as if teasing a cat.
The Charizard let out a comfortable gurgling sound, its huge body trembling slightly, its tail swishing back and forth behind it.
Taking this opportunity, Lin Mo also observed Charizard's improvement this time.
After enjoying it for a moment, the Charizard seemed to be showing off to Lin Mo.
Ten God Ring, eight red and two gold, slowly emerged from beneath its feet, dazzling in their brilliance.
However, besides the God Ring, what caught Mo's attention the most was the nine-fold halo behind Charizard.
Charizard's original eight-fold halo evolved into a nine-fold halo after fusing with another of the same origin, the Imperial Flame.
After becoming a god, the simplest and most intuitive way to judge a god's strength is to observe the number of halos behind them.
Generally speaking, a five-fold halo indicates the strength of Second-Level God, a seven-fold halo indicates the strength of First-Level God, and a nine-fold halo indicates the strength of God King.
Normally, there are no deities with eightfold halos.
However, Charizard's situation is rather special, as it inherited the power of the Fire Dragon King, whose strength is extremely close to that of the God King.
After Lin Mo broke through to the God Level, the halo that appeared behind him was a nine-layered halo representing the strength of God King.
Charizard's is slightly inferior, having an eight-fold aura.
The reason for this difference is mainly because the strength of the Fire Dragon King that Charizard received was only at the peak of the First-Level God.
Therefore, the halo representing the power of the gods behind it only has eight layers.
As for Lin Mo, putting aside everything else, the Asura God Godhood alone is enough to make him reach the level of God King.
Now, after fusing with another Imperial Flame, Charizard's strength has directly reached the God King level.
Thinking of this, the same aura also appeared behind Lin Mo.
Unlike the Charizard's three-colored, nine-layered halo, Lin Mo's back is adorned with a nine-colored, nine-layered halo.
Even with the naked eye, it's clear that Lin Mo's strength is significantly greater than that of Charizard at this stage.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo's expression turned amused.
If I were to ascend to the Divine Realm right now and Martial Soul Fusion with the Charizard, could Tang San, in his Dual God Coexistence state, defeat me?
Or, to put it another way, can it withstand one more attack?
Let alone withstand a single attack from himself in his Martial Soul Fusion state, even in his current state of Dual God Coexistence, Tang San probably couldn't even defeat Charizard, right?
After all, Charizard in its normal state is already at the level of God King...
The Charizard Frisk Lin Mo's gaze and deliberately raised its head, striking what it thought was a very imposing pose.
Lin Mo quickly shook his head, dismissing the thought from his mind.
Now is not the time to think about these things.
I'll have to go to the Divine Realm sooner or later, but not now.
There are more pressing matters to attend to right now.
The God Ring on his and Charizard's backs were also taken away by them one after another.
Soon, Lin Mo slowly examined his arms and smiled slightly.
While Charizard fused the two Imperial Flame into one, Lin Mo also fused the two Ice Seeds together deep within the Extreme Cold Yin Spring.
Taking this opportunity, he also raised his Ice-type ability to the same God King level.
Incidentally, Lin Mo's advancement in Ice-type abilities has also brought considerable benefits to the young Snow Empress.
One person, and even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
The young Snow Empress's strength has also made a qualitative leap.
Before her promotion, no matter what methods she used, she could never be a match for her after her promotion.
Soon, these were the tattoos that appeared on Lin Mo's arms after his strength improved this time.
Lin Mo looked down and saw that his sleeves had been rolled up, revealing two perfectly sculpted arms.
He has a tattoo on each of his left and right arms, almost covering his entire arm.
The tattoos are all in the shape of dragons, with bared fangs and claws.
The only difference is that the left arm is Ice Dragon, and the right arm is Fire Dragon.
The Ice Dragon on his left arm was entirely ice-blue, its eyes tightly closed.
The Fire Dragon on the right arm is a mix of dark red and crimson gold, with its body Entanglement and its mouth wide open.
Ice and Fire Dragon Souls!
