Douluo: Humans in this world are fake gods

Although he did not express his intention to compete for the throne.

But Xu Jinyu did not waste this time.

In five months, in addition to secretly wooing officials who once belonged to Xu Tianran's lineage in the court, he also gained a lot of reputation among the people and the court through his contribution to the monster siege.

Xu Han also took this opportunity to build momentum for him.

The sun and the moon are now stable, and his credit is obvious to all.

Therefore, under this operation, Xu Jinyu jumped directly from the transparent prince that no one cared about to a hot young talent in the Sun and Moon Empire. Reversing the original image in one fell swoop.

For a time, it can be said that he was famous and in the limelight.

Nowadays, almost everyone knows the prince of Prince Heng's palace who has made a name for himself even without making a name for himself. I saw the skills and abilities of His Royal Highness.

As for the officials who originally belonged to the prince's lineage...

At first, when Xu Tianran just disappeared, the officials of the Prince's faction didn't panic, they just thought it was because they were unwell.Just rest for a few days.

But since that day, Xu Tianran has never appeared in public again. As the crown prince and heir apparent, leaving so suddenly at such an important moment feels wrong no matter how you look at it.

After all, at such a sensitive moment, the prince disappeared from the world, which is really easy for people to have some bad associations. For example, it is possible to depose the prince and replace the crown prince.

As a result, these officials began to search for information about Xu Tianran. But whether it was the Prince's Mansion or the Royal Palace, the news was tightly blocked by Kong Deming, and they could not get any news at all.

So as time went on, more and more gossip started getting passed around at all levels. For example: Prince Xu Tianran was possessed by a demon, attempted rebellion and was abandoned, etc.

Under this circumstance, the mentality of the officials of the Prince's faction also gradually changed. The panic and uneasiness soon spread among the entire prince faction.

Because the entire faction is built around Xu Tianran, he is like the core array of the soul guidance device. No matter how sophisticated the materials are, without the core components to drive it, it is still just a pile of scrap metal.

So after Xu Tianran disappeared, the prince's faction suddenly fell into a leaderless situation. But they, who were originally the most powerful and advantageous in the fight for the throne, suddenly became in danger.

It could fall apart and collapse completely at any time.

Although Xu Tianran's position as prince has not been abolished, the government and the public have already acquiesced in the fact that he has been abolished. Officials from the prince's line began to feel insecure.

Even...even the important officials who played a decisive role in the prince's faction began to make preparations to contact other princes and prepare to change their families.

Of course, there are also a group of officials who swear allegiance to Xu Tianran. Unless such a person announces the death of Xu Tianran, it is impossible for these die-hard fans to change the family.

However, most of the prince's lineage are ordinary officials, or dignitaries at all levels. These people value profit more than feelings. Because the prince lost power, they and others had to suffer the same misfortune.

So at this time, it is better to hurry up and change the court.

However, now it is no different than when they first competed for the throne. The princes are full-fledged, their teams are complete, and their interest structures have been distributed. The refuge of these people is of little need to them.

Therefore, except for a very small number of important officials with certain influence, if they defect to their command now, they can only become marginal figures. This sense of disparity made officials of the prince's line hesitate.

Moreover, the officials of the original force do not want them to join, because the original force will lose as much as the benefits they receive after defecting.

This is the current situation of officials who belonged to the prince's line.

And this just gave Xu Jinyu the opportunity to develop and grow. Because he is now in the stage of building a team, he has enough profit space to recruit people.

With such a stark contrast, it’s obvious which side to choose.

After all, officials who have feelings for the prince are only a small part.For others, the most important thing is profit.And Xu Jinyu was able to provide enough benefits.

So during this period, Xu Jinyu's team was rapidly expanding. After the fall of Xu Tianran, almost 50% of the forces of the former prince's lineage were absorbed by him.

Unconsciously--

In terms of reputation, power, and influence, Xu Jinyu is no longer weaker than any of the princes in the Sun and Moon Court, and even surpasses them.

All that's missing now is the opportunity for a formal showdown.

But it's still early, Xu Jinyu is not in a hurry.

He will only make his intentions clear when he can ensure he takes the initiative.

And after labeling the evil soul masters with the poison of faith, the power of the Holy Spirit Sect in the Sun and Moon Empire was steadily retreating. Their life was not easy without Xu Tianran's help.

"..."

Besides--

I don’t know what Kong Deming was researching during this period. In addition to gathering all the senior soul masters in the Enshrinement Hall, he also transferred all the soul masters from the major soul master corps and Mingde Hall.

My own teacher, senior sister, Jing Hongchen, Xuan Ziwen, Lin Jiayi and other familiar teachers are among them.And since being transferred, Su Luoheng has never seen them again.

It seems... Mr. Kong is preparing for some big move.

……

……

Underground training room.

"Qiangqiang-"

The sound of gold and iron clashing kept ringing.

For a moment, there were flashes of swords and shadows, and the chill was overwhelming.

I saw Su Luoheng and Snow Emperor clashing their swords, attacking and defending each other.

As the sword light flashed, the two had fought countless times.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the sword in Snow Emperor's hand shook.

A silver-white sword flower flashed out, bringing with it a biting chill, and stabbed directly towards Su Luoheng's chest.

Facing this sword, Su Luoheng, who had enough time to dodge, was delayed for some reason. When he reacted, the sword in the Snow Emperor's hand was already less than three inches away from him.

There was no way to avoid it, so Su Luoheng had no choice but to block it with a horizontal sword.

"clang--"

A crisp crash sounded in the basement.

The moment the sword blades collided, the huge momentum was transmitted, causing Su Luoheng's jaw to crack and hurt. His whole arm went numb, his palms trembled violently, and the long sword in his hand actually flew away.

At the same time, Su Luoheng flew backwards.

There was a muffled "bang" sound as it hit the wall.

"Zheng!"

The blade of the sword fell to the ground.

At this time, Snow Emperor had already put away his sword and stood up.

When she judged that Su Luoheng could not resist, she had already withdrawn half of the power of the sword. If not, Su Luoheng's body would definitely be stained by this sword strike.

Although there is a tardigrade soul bone that can be healed, after returning from the far north, the Snow Emperor rarely strikes hard.

"..."

moment.

"Cough-cough-"

Su Luoheng moved his sore right arm a few times.

After a slight adjustment, he stood in front of the Snow Emperor again.

"Sister Xue is here again."

He continued to challenge, but his wandering eyes clearly showed that he had something else on his mind. Even the defeat in the battle just now was due to this distraction.
