Chapter 312 The quarter-finals begin, the beginning of turmoil
“National Preceptor, I think the plan can be launched.”
Xu Tianran leaned on the wheelchair, eyes narrowed slightly.
The sun is still shining on his body, showing his laziness.
However, such warm sunshine could not dispel Xu Tianran's solemn tone, which contained infinite murderous intent.
"Of course."
Zhong Liwu stood behind him and nodded slightly.
“I wonder what Your Highness wants to do?”
“How to do it?”
Xu Tianran opened his eyes, his eyes shining with light. Staring at the sun without any cover, without being burned by the blazing sunlight at all, "The sun is too big, and the monsters and ghosts can't hide after all. It's better to be in the dark, because all kinds of monsters and ghosts can come out."
"Understood."
It was a murderous night with a dark moon and high wind.
At this time, a list was taken out of Xu Tianran's hands.
“This is a list of those stubborn guys. Since you are a noble, you must contribute to the future of the empire. Also, my brothers are also on this list. Let's go together." A tear slipped quietly from the corner of his eye.
However, Zhong Liwu ignored the crocodile tears and glanced at the "book of life and death" in his hand. This was a sign of death.
"Who does His Highness the Crown Prince want us to disguise ourselves as?"
"Just don't go too far."
Xu Tianran's tears immediately disappeared, replaced by indifference to the bunch of lives, "Others Yes, I don’t care how you start, it will be my people who will investigate later."
"And..."
Xu Tianran moved his wheelchair and faced Zhong Liwu.
"Leave some things from the three major empires with them. Xing Luo lost but still didn't leave. It's so heartbreaking."
Speaking of this, Xu Tianran sneered.
Although he didn’t know what the Star Luo Empire had planned, since they were all here to stay, he should just take the blame.
“That’s right.”
At this time, Xu Tianran suddenly thought of something.
"Keep my fifth emperor brother for me."
"Oh?" Zhong Liwu raised his head, looked at Xu Tianran and gave his advice, "Did His Highness suddenly become soft-hearted? You know, Cutting the weeds without removing the roots, the spring breeze blows deeper."
"There is no need for the National Master to take care of this matter."
Xu Tianran closed his eyes, "I'm just talking to you. The Fifth Emperor's brother has the best relationship. I plan to get together for a while and send him off in person in the future."
"In this case, it is as your Highness wishes."
Zhong Liwu put away the list, then waved his cloak and disappeared. Xu Tianran was left alone, enjoying the sunshine.
But under his shadow, it looked extremely dark.
……
Time passed quickly and the quarterfinals were about to begin.
It only takes one day for the eight-to-four game to end, and then there will be another two days of rest for the semi-finals. After the semi-finals, there will be another two days of rest before the finals. At that time, this competition will also be over.
The upper and lower halves of the quarterfinals and each team's respective opponents have already been selected based on the draw of each captain.
The first half of the area: Shrek Academy, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, the Mingdu Soul Engineering Academy, and one of the Sun and Moon Empire’s soul engineering academies; the lower half: the Snow Demon Sect, the Holy Spirit Sect, Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, and the remaining soul master academies.
As for their respective opponents in the quarterfinals:
Shrek Academy VS Dio Soul Engineer Academy;
Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy VS Mingdu Soul Engineer Academy;
Snow Demon Sect VS Holy Spirit Sect;
Nine Treasures Glazed Sect VS Xundan Soul Master Academy.
As soon as this schedule situation came out, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy was provoked by a small group of people from Shrek Academy.
In the words of the Shrek students, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's luck has never been so good again. When the semi-finals came, they did not fake the match with them, and their true colors were revealed.
With these words, Xiao Hongchen and the others were immediately defeated.
But the problem remains, they have nothing to say.
Because in the round robin, the Holy Spirit Church gave up their first place in the group. Looking back now...what a shame!
But no matter what they think, the quarterfinals are coming as scheduled!
Early in the morning, the whole Mingdu became lively.
It was almost dawn, and a large number of people were already pouring out of the city gate to get a good seat to watch the game.
In one day, all the quarterfinals will be played. And these four games are all strong showdowns.
If you miss one, you will regret it for the rest of your life!
All of a sudden, the streets were crowded with people.
Although when it comes to the quarterfinals, it is extremely important to know as much as possible about potential opponents, but from the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect, Chen Junting, Gu Tianchen, and Huo Yuhao did not appear to watch the morning game.
It's not that they don't pay attention to the competition, but just last night, they learned important news from the Ordinary League.
As a result, the three of them can only investigate in the morning.
Fortunately, the morning's competition had nothing to do with them, and the final winner was Shrek Academy who was most likely to reach the finals. Therefore, Chen Junting and the others did not pay too much attention and chose to go investigate.
As for what happened...
Last night, Qiliyuan.
"What did you say?"
Chen Junting looked at Shangguan Weier and frowned.
Just now, Huo Yuhao, who had participated in an underground competition, came back and told Chen Junting that something was wrong with the underground black market.
The most obvious thing is the turmoil in the Ordinary League.
Just like overnight, the Ordinary League was suddenly attacked by the two major forces of the Xishui League and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.
Realizing that something was wrong, Chen Junting came to Qili Garden in person and learned something from Shangguan Weier.
The forces behind the Ordinary Alliance, namely the great nobles of the Sun and Moon Empire, have stopped their efforts. The reason is that many nobles were suddenly slaughtered overnight.
This caused all the nobles to be in panic for a while.
I don’t dare to show my head at all, for fear of becoming the next one to stand out.
This allowed the Xishui League and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce to see an opportunity. Today, the Ordinary League is like a seriously injured fat deer. Although it can still stand up, it does not prevent it from being bitten by the two major forces.
Even the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, which is an ally, will not let go of such a God-given opportunity, and it does not look like an ally at all.
“This is really wrong.”
Gu Tianchen couldn’t help but say as he stood beside Chen Junting.
"Actually..."
At this moment, Shangguan Weier hesitated slightly.
But after seeing Chen Junting and the other three people turn their attention to her, she told the rumors that the Pingfan League knew.
"According to rumors, the deaths of these nobles are related to you."
"We?"
When the three heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned. Gu Tianchen and Huo Yuhao even looked at each other and said bluntly: "If it was really us, why didn't we know about it? This is not pure slander."
Shangguan Wei'er twitched the corner of her mouth and said nothing. Any advice.
In fact, she also knew that something was wrong.
If you really want to do this, are you an impure fool from the three empires?
If you really want to take action, you should go to the palace.
Chen Junting pondered for a moment and suddenly asked.
“Do you know the details of these nobles?”
"Know something."
Shangguan Weier took out the list she had prepared a long time ago, "Those dead nobles are either the forces behind our Ordinary Alliance, or they are regular customers who often come to our Qiliyuan to spend money. ”
Chen Junting flipped through the list and finally stopped at a few pages.
Dongfang Shuo, a supporter of the fourth prince.
Wang Hao, supporter of the Third Prince...
Although the number of supporters marked is less than one palm, but...
“I can probably guess who is doing it.”
“Who?”×3
Chen Junting did not answer, but said: "Lao Gu, Yuhao, tomorrow you will come with me to these people's mansions to find out."
