Chapter 522 Xu Tianzhen and the cruelest revenge
Mingdu is destined not to be peaceful tonight.
The upper echelons of the Sun and Moon Empire will undergo a major purge. All those who had colluded with Xu Tianran's family and participated in the palace coup that year will be settled by the Queen.
Although Xu Zihuang is not the kind of person who loves killing for fun, he is already prepared to have blood on his hands. This is something that cannot be avoided and will not affect the overall situation.
A powerful empire like the Sun and Moon Empire with profound foundations and advanced soul guidance technology as its foundation. As long as the Mingdetang and the five soul master groups of Protector's Hand are still there, the foundation will not be shaken.
Everyone obeyed Xu Zihuang's order, retreated one after another, and began to carry out the mission of purging the entire Ming capital. The original peace in Mingdu was instantly broken, and the city was filled with people from the five soul master groups of the Protector's Hand.
Most of the targets of the purge were some powerful ministers and nobles, and even princes of the clan. However, their fate, which used to be very powerful, will be completely rewritten starting tonight.
Facing the powerful five soul mentor groups of the Protector of the Country, these people do not have the ability to resist even if they want to.
It didn't take long for the entire Ming Dynasty to become riotous. In contrast, the palace seemed very peaceful.
In the process of ascending to the throne, Xu Tianran had already executed his direct brothers one by one. The old emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire passed away a few years ago, so there was no one in Xu Tianran's lineage to clean up.
Seeing Xu Tianran's tragic situation and the actions of the five soul mentors of the Protector's Hand, the guards in the palace immediately switched sides.
Xu Zihuang held Xu Xiyan in his arms and stood indifferently on the metal open space formed after the study melted. Ye Guyi and Orange stayed by his side silently. The one who stayed here was Kong Deming not far away.
By doing this, Kong Deming also expressed his attitude and stood up for Xu Zihuang. Since the trend is irreversible, he only hopes that the impact of this turmoil can be minimized.
At this moment, a dazzling red light suddenly rose into the sky from the Sun Moon Empire Palace. The golden-red light bloomed and turned into a blazing and bright sun.
When this golden-red sun appeared, a huge beam of light with a diameter of more than a hundred meters fell from the sky and landed below.
A woman wearing a red and luxurious palace dress was bathed in this golden-red light beam, and around her were seven soul rings in the best combination, two yellow, two purple and three black.
The woman seemed to be less than 1.7 meters tall and slightly petite. She walked towards Xu Zihuang expressionlessly.
The Sun Martial Spirit inherited from the royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire undoubtedly revealed the woman's identity. It was Xu Tianzhen who Xu Zihuang had briefly met in the Continental Youth Soul Master Elite Competition.
Different from the naive and lively look at that time, Xu Tianzhen's beautiful eyes were filled with calmness at this time, as if all disguises had been removed. This was her truest side.
"Go away!" Xu Tianzhen shouted, without any emotion in his voice. The golden-red light beam shining down exploded, and the entire space became a vast expanse of gold. The temperature also continued to rise because of this golden-red light. The ground seemed to turn into a piece of magma, and the hot breath continued to spread.
The Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Group led by Xu Tianyuan is responsible for purging the Imperial Palace of the Sun and Moon Empire.
Xu Tianzhen's sudden outburst caused the soldiers of the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Group surrounding her to retreat quickly and each released their defensive soul guides.
There are many strong men above the soul saint level in the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Group, but Xu Tianzhen's status is quite special, and they are all descendants of the clan, so naturally it is difficult for them to adopt such strong measures.
Xu Tianyuan noticed the situation here and frowned, preparing to take action personally. He couldn't help but secretly cursed an idiot in his heart.
They have already chosen to be loyal to Xu Zihuang, but if they are still so hesitant, who are they showing to? !
At this moment, Xu Zihuang opened his mouth to stop Xu Tianyuan.
"Let her come here."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Tianyuan stopped, turned around respectfully and saluted Xu Zihuang. Then he ordered everyone in the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Group to make way for a passage.
Xu Tianzhen withdrew his martial spirit. During the march, his eyes passed over Kong Deming, Ye Guyi, Juzi and others one by one, and finally fixed on Xu Zihuang who was holding Xu Xiyan in his arms.
And she also stopped in front of Xu Zihuang.
Xu Tianzhen's figure is already petite, and it becomes even more obvious when standing next to Xu Zihuang. Such a strong contrast makes the painting style in front of me extremely weird.
Xu Tianzhen raised his head, glanced at Xu Tianran, whose body was sunk in the metal pillar, and then looked at Xu Zihuang intently.
But because of her height, she looked up to Xu Zihuang completely.
"Are you Zihuang?"
Xu Zihuang's eyes were deep as he recalled the memories of his childhood. He was exiled when he was five years old, and before that, Xu Tianzhen was also one of his childhood playmates. Among the direct members of the royal family of their generation, only He Caitou and Xu Tianzhen were not much different in age from him.
In terms of age, Xu Tianzhen can be regarded as his cousin.
"Do you want to plead for Xu Tianran?" Xu Zihuang opened and closed his eyes, looking at Xu Tianzhen with deep meaning.
There was a trace of exhaustion in Xu Tianzhen's eyes, and she smiled self-deprecatingly and relievedly.
"From the time my father did those things to you, I have lost the qualification to say such things. Now this can be regarded as retribution. Let's end it all."
Xu Tianzhen was actually tired of all the fights in the royal family.
Xu Zihuang did not respond directly to Xu Tianzhen, but slowly raised his right hand. Xu Tianran, who had been looking at this side but could only make a "ho ho" sound, suddenly saw a dark purple flame of destruction rising from his body.
Xu Tianran wanted to struggle, but he couldn't move at all. Just like that, he died in the burning flames of destruction. The last thing left in his eyes was the extremely distorted look of despair and resentment.
A blood-red torso soul bone and a dark blue head soul bone are hovering here. Judging from the strong soul power fluctuations and bursts of coercion that rippled out from it, the other two soul bones left behind by Xu Tianran after his death were no worse than the previous 30,000-year-old Silver Moon Wolf King's left arm bone.
Of course Xu Zihuang would not let Xu Tianran die so easily. A strange black light shone in the palm of his raised right hand, and then a translucent human-shaped light and shadow was pulled towards him.
The face of this humanoid light and shadow is exactly what Xu Tianran looks like, but it has become much more unreal. There is no doubt that this is Xu Tianran's soul.
Xu Zihuang's ability to imprison the soul comes from the Dark Demon Tiger. What Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng is best at is controlling various beast souls to assist in combat, and his Scorpion Tiger Spirit is just a weakened subspecies of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger has the innate ability to seize and swallow souls. In this aspect, it is far beyond what ordinary scorpion tigers can compare with. This is also the reason why the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is hated and rejected by other soul beasts. When the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger devours soul beasts, it will devour its souls as well.
Xu Tianran's soul seemed to understand something, the confusion in his eyes disappeared, and he stared at Xu Zihuang.
However, Xu Zihuang controlled Xu Tianran's soul to rise into the air, and used the ability of the Golden Eyes Martial Spirit's ninth soul skill, time and space enchantment, to seal it in a void space above Mingdu. In this void space, it takes a long time for the soul to be gradually wiped out.
Xu Zihuang wanted Xu Tianran to witness his ascension to the throne, the unification of the continent, and even the future strength and prosperity of the Sun and Moon Empire here. This is the cruelest revenge for Xu Tianran.
Xu Tianzhen really had no intention of interceding for Xu Tianran. She stared blankly at Xu Zihuang's back and allowed Xu Zihuang to kill Xu Tianran and seal his soul.
Xu Zihuang turned his back to Xu Tianzhen and said calmly: "Leave the palace before I change my mind."
I had some troublesome things at work during the day today, and I was a little tired, so I managed to finish a short chapter. By the way, let’s talk about the plan later. There are four main plots connected together in the outline, and the last one is going to the God Realm to kill Tang San. It's almost finished, and it's expected to take about two months.
