Chapter 131: Crown Prince Xu Tianran's Crazy Plan, Attacking Mingdu!
Lin Sheng and Ma Xiaotao did not linger in Mingde Hall. After using the Kamui space to avoid all high-altitude detection spirit tools, the two returned to their secret base silently.
Upon entering the door, Lin Sheng went straight to find Sect Master Du Busi, who was sitting in a chair with his eyes closed to rest.
"Teacher, look at this."
Lin Sheng flicked his finger.
Dozens of specially made spiritual spirit tool core rubbings, recording dense core arrays and spirit tool structures, landed steadily on the desk in front of Sect Master Du Busi.
Sect Master Du Busi opened his eyes with some confusion.
When he swept his vast mental force into those rubbings and clearly saw that they were actually the most core stationary spirit tool shells of Mingde Hall... as well as the precise blueprints of the ninth-level spirit tool core array.
This Body Sect Master stood up abruptly, a blinding ecstasy erupting in his emerald green eyes.
"Hahaha! Good! Very good!"
Sect Master Du Busi slapped his thigh hard, shaking the entire house slightly.
"Lin Sheng, you kid really never stop until you get what you want!"
"You actually raided their entire family assets! This is truly precious wealth!"
With these things, the Body Sect's spirit tool level might usher in a qualitative leap.
He carefully put away the rubbings, looking at Lin Sheng with eyes full of appreciation and relief: "Next, everything is ready."
"We just need to remain still and quietly wait for the National Day Ceremony in two days to see what tricks that little bastard Crown Prince Xu Tianran is going to play."
...
In the next two days, the entire Mingdu seemed to enter an extremely strange state of calm.
The spirit tool Master legions in the city were still patrolling as usual.
Those Evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult that Lin Sheng had perceived, scattered in various dark corners, also seemed to have completely evaporated, not causing any ripples in the city.
Everything looked so easy-going and peaceful.
Moreover, as the National Day Ceremony approached, the whole city was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, and huge spirit tool neon lights flickered day and night.
The festive fanaticism and warm atmosphere...
Overflowed on the faces of every Sun Moon Empire civilian, completely covering up all the undercurrents.
...
Until the third day, the Sun Moon Empire's highly anticipated National Day Ceremony finally kicked off amidst the deafening sounds of spirit tool salutes.
"Boom!!!"
In the sky, hundreds of high-altitude detection spirit tools and infrared scanners wove into an airtight defense line.
Lin Sheng, Qiu'er, Ma Xiaotao, Ye Guyi, and Long Aotian, Dai Yueheng, and others had long since changed into the luxurious attire of Sun Moon Empire civilians.
They mixed into the hundreds of thousands of cheering crowds without any flaws.
"Buzz—!"
Accompanied by a dull and loud metallic roar, the main gate of the imperial palace opened wide.
Under the tight guard of countless imperial spirit tool Master legions.
A spirit tool car emitting a luxurious luster slowly drove onto the central Vermilion Bird Avenue.
Sitting in the first golden convertible spirit tool car was the current emperor of the Sun Moon Empire.
His figure was thin, and his old eyes still flickered with the majesty of someone who had been in a high position for a long time.
"..."
And the second black spirit tool war chariot following closely behind was Crown Prince Xu Tianran.
He sat in a special wheelchair.
Smiling and waving to the cheering subjects on both sides of the road.
"The body of this Sun Moon Emperor is already at the end of its rope."
Ma Xiaotao lowered her voice and transmitted sound to Lin Sheng's side.
"It is indeed the best time for Crown Prince Xu Tianran to make a move now."
Lin Sheng did not speak, the perspective of his Sharingan seeing the blind spot of Crown Prince Xu Tianran's war chariot clearly.
"Crown Prince Xu Tianran..."
Lin Sheng whispered.
Just as all the Sun Moon Empire civilians were immersed in the fanatical cheers for the royal family, and the parade convoy had just arrived at the core area of the Mingdu Central Square.
Without any warning, the originally clear sky turned completely black in an instant.
"Rumble—!"
A terrifying loud noise that seemed to tear the entire planet apart suddenly exploded over Mingdu.
The originally blue sky was completely covered by a thick layer of blood-gray clouds in the blink of an eye.
Within those clouds!
Countless ferocious, painful resentful Soul faces were crazily twisting and roaring, and the sharp ghost wails instantly tore the eardrums of the tens of thousands of civilians at the scene!
"What's going on?! What is this?!"
"The sky is dark! Help!"
The originally carnival civilians instantly fell into extreme panic, and the sound of trampling and crying rang out in an instant.
Before the imperial spirit tool Master legions could react.
Within that sky-covering blood-gray cloud layer, countless huge blood-colored light beams with a diameter of over ten meters, wrapped in the destructive power of corroding Souls.
Like lightning from the Nine Heavens, they fell from the sky crazily with a destructive momentum!
"Boom—!"
This attack was not only dense, but the range was extremely terrifying!
It almost completely covered the entire parade street.
Including tens of thousands of civilians and all royal family members, completely within the strike range!
"Enemy attack! Protect His Majesty! Activate the full defense line!"
Facing this sudden destructive blow, Hall Master Jing Hongchen, who was responsible for protecting the ceremony, looked terrified and became extremely ferocious.
He roared.
The nine Soul Rings under his feet erupted with dazzling light instantly, and then he released his defensive spirit tool.
"Defensive spirit tool, full power activation!"
A giant sky-reaching shield constructed of pure gold Soul Power and a top-notch ninth-level defensive core was forcibly propped up in an instant.
Attempting to protect the core imperial parade convoy tightly.
...
In the chaotic crowd.
A faint space ripple appeared around Lin Sheng, perfectly isolating Qiu'er, Ma Xiaotao, and others beside him from the falling aftermath and the panicked crowd.
"This guy..."
His pair of blood-colored, complex Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan stared fixedly at the blood light in the sky.
"This... is this his plan?"
Ma Xiaotao looked at the civilians torn apart by the blood light and the riddled streets around her, her voice carrying a trace of unbelievable horror.
"Is Crown Prince Xu Tianran crazy? At his own country's National Day Ceremony, letting the Holy Spirit Cult indiscriminately slaughter his own subjects and father?!"
Lin Sheng's fists were clenched tightly, and his Sharingan erupted with an unprecedented cold light at this moment.
Through the sky-filling blood smoke, he saw Crown Prince Xu Tianran sitting on the black war chariot.
At this time, although Crown Prince Xu Tianran also had a look of horror and panic on his face, hiding in embarrassment on the wheelchair under the cover of ministers.
But in Lin Sheng's Sharingan vision, Crown Prince Xu Tianran's heartbeat and his Spiritual fluctuations were in a state of extremely strange calmness and excitement!!
"No... he is not crazy, this is the most perfect poisonous plan."
Lin Sheng took a deep breath.
"Crown Prince Xu Tianran knows very well that there is a way to eliminate future troubles once and for all, simply by being ruthless, directly letting the Holy Spirit Cult use the name of rebel forces or foreign powerful enemies to launch a destructive attack on Mingdu at this ceremony under the eyes of everyone!"
Lin Sheng's Sharingan flashed with the wisdom of insight into everything.
"As long as the old emperor dies directly in this accident, and he, Crown Prince Xu Tianran, as the imperial Crown Prince who luckily survived and holds heavy troops, can ascend to the throne in a justified manner!"
"At that time, he can not only use the hands of the Holy Spirit Cult to completely clean up the opposition and dissidents on the scene, but also completely ignite the monstrous hatred of the Sun Moon Empire towards the three great Empires, directly pushing the chariot of total war onto the tracks of the entire continent!"
Hearing Lin Sheng's analysis.
Long Aotian, Dai Yueheng, Ye Guyi, and others all gasped, their backs feeling cold!
Ruthless, decisive, regarding human life as grass.
Crown Prince Xu Tianran treated the dignity of the entire Empire and the lives of hundreds of thousands of people as bargaining chips for his game.
"Lin Sheng, what should we do? Should we make a move now?!"
Sect Master Du Busi's figure sounded silently in Lin Sheng's Sea of Consciousness, and the tone of this extreme powerhouse also carried a trace of cold murderous intent.
Lin Sheng smiled coldly.
Seeing his right hand grasp into the void, the emerald green Blade of Life slowly condensed in the pitch-black Amaterasu Black Flames, and the Eternal Mangekyou pattern in his pupils rotated to the limit.
"Since his plan is so perfect, we also have to... insert a hand."
