"You have no joke."
Hearing this, Elder Wanhun laughed wildly and said, "Okay, Master Hongchen, I will go back and ask the leader for instructions. You just wait for my news here."
After saying this, Elder Wanhun disappeared into the secret room.
A hint of coldness appeared in Jing Hongchen's eyes.
Of course he knew who the other party was and what his identity was.
One of the elders of the Holy Spirit Church, an evil soul master named Douluo.
The Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy naturally belongs to the royal family. Although Mingde Hall has a greater degree of independence, it still has to obey the royal family.
Jing Hongchen was very puzzled as to why the royal family wanted to connect with the evil soul master organization, the Holy Spirit Church, and asked Mingdetang to customize high-level soul guides for them.
In the entire Douluo Continent, no normal person would like evil soul masters, and Jing Hongchen is naturally the same, but he cannot disobey the emperor's order and can only acquiesce to the existence of the Holy Spirit Church.
The relationship between him and the Holy Spirit Church is simply one of exploitation.
If he could use an unabsorbable 100,000-year soul beast embryo to gain enough benefits from the Holy Spirit Church, or to improve relations with the royal family, then he would not be unable to accept it.
As for your deaths from exploding while absorbing spirit rings, that has nothing to do with this hall master.
Jing Hongchen finally stood up and left the secret room.
……
A few days later, at night, Huo Yuhao returned to the dormitory, only to see a piece of letter on the table.
He frowned, opened it, looked at it, and then left the room.
In principle, students of the Sun Moon Academy are forbidden to leave the academy without permission, but this restriction has never been able to stop Huo Yuhao.
He followed the address on the letter to a building on the outskirts of Mingdu.
As soon as he walked to the door, a rough voice came from behind the door: "Who?"
"Huo Yuhao."
The person behind the door paused, then quickly opened the door, let him in, and hurriedly closed the door.
This was a sturdy man. Huo Yuhao followed him all the way to the hall. There were already five people sitting in the hall, including the sturdy man.
Huo Yuhao knew four of them, they were from the Body Sect, and the other one was the eighth-level soul engineer insider from the Body Sect, Mr. Xiao.
Xiao gritted his teeth and said in an exasperated voice: "Jing Hongchen has started looking for buyers for some reason recently."
"If you crazy people from the Benti Sect still want that 100,000-year soul beast embryo, then hurry back and inform your sect leader."
"Tell him to gather his men and come and rob them."
"The sooner the better."
Chapter 255: The Body Sect Attacks in Advance (4k)
More than ten days later.
On the outskirts of Mingdu, in a huge building, there were more than twenty people in the spacious hall, some sitting and some standing.
No one deliberately exudes their own pressure, but the difficult-to-conceal murderous atmosphere shows that these people are powerful people who should not be underestimated.
Huo Yuhao has the lowest cultivation level among them, and is currently only at the fourth ring level, while the others have at least reached the Soul Saint level.
The old man sitting at the head of the crowd had almost reached the level of Ultimate Douluo.
He is the leader of the Body Sect, who is invincible.
The rest are naturally from the Body Sect. Among these twenty people, there are four Titled Douluo.
Du Bu Si and the others looked solemnly at the man standing in the middle of the hall. He was none other than the Mingde Hall's insider who was heavily paid by the Body Sect and called himself Xiao's eighth-level soul mentor.
Du Bu Si asked in a deep voice: "You mean... Jing Hongchen wants to deal with the 100,000-year soul beast embryo?"
Xiao snorted coldly: "Yes, I don't know why he changed his mind. Now he has secretly contacted several buyers and wants to make a move, but no one can meet his conditions yet."
Du Bu Si asked again: "How many people know about this now?"
"Besides me, Jing Hongchen has no more than two close confidants."
Du Bu Si couldn't help but frowned and fell into deep thought.
Jing Hongchen suddenly decided to sell the 100,000-year soul beast embryo without any warning, which undoubtedly disrupted the plan of the Body Sect.
A Titled Douluo from the Body Sect asked, "Sect Master, do you think we can buy the embryo from Mingde Hall?"
Before Du Bu Si could speak, Xiao interrupted him with a sneer: "What conditions can your Benti Sect offer? Besides the gold soul coins, what else can you offer?"
"I tell you, the conditions that Jing Hongchen wants cannot be given by your Benti Sect."
Xiao's tone was full of contempt, which instantly aroused the dissatisfaction of all the people from the main sect present, and suddenly several pressures were vented on Xiao.
Xiao's face looked a little ugly, but he still looked directly at Du Bushi.
Du Bu Si raised his hand, signaling others to put away their pressure.
He asked in a deep voice: "So in your opinion, we can only rob?"
Xiao said sternly, "Yes. Based on my understanding of Jing Hongchen, he won't make a move so quickly."
At this point, he suddenly paused and said hesitantly: "But now there is an organization that may be able to provide what Jing Hongchen wants. Maybe he will reach a deal with them soon."
Du Bu Si pondered for a long time again, and asked a Title Douluo next to him: "Old Jin, how long will it take for our people to gather together?"
The Titled Douluo called Lao Jin replied: "The sect has issued a gathering order. All Soul Sages and above scattered across the continent are gathering in the Sun-Moon Empire, but it will take at least half a month."
Xiao said coldly: "I advise you to hurry up, otherwise once this 100,000-year soul beast embryo leaves Mingde Hall, it will really be lost in the sea."
Du Bu Si frowned.
If this hundred thousand year soul beast embryo falls into the hands of other people, they will absorb it directly, and then we may not even have the chance to snatch it.
After a moment, Du Bu Si raised his head and laughed: "Then just rob it. Nothing that Du Bu Si has set his eyes on has ever escaped."
Someone advised: "Master, Mingde Hall is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We need to think carefully about how to attack it."
Xiao took out two blueprints and said, "This is the topographic map of Mingde Hall. Mingde Hall has strong frontal defense, so I suggest you dig a tunnel and launch a sneak attack from underground."
"The previous waves of people who successfully attacked Mingde Hall did this."
"It's a pity that they are too weak to snatch the 100,000-year soul beast embryo."
Du Bu Si smiled and said, "If that's the case, then our Benti Sect will gladly accept this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo."
Xiao said coldly: "Don't forget the agreement between us."
"You must wreak havoc on Mingde Hall, and it would be best if you can kill Jing Hongchen."
Upon hearing this, Du Bu Si's smile became a little colder: "Are you negotiating terms with me?"
He did not release any pressure, but his tone was chilling.
Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "Do you, the Benti Sect, want to break your promise?"
"Let me tell you, without me, you would have no way of knowing where the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo is. Without me destroying the soul guides around the embryo, even your Body Sect would not be able to take it out intact."
He was only an eighth-level soul engineer, but he was not afraid at all when facing clusters of powerful people from the Body Sect.
Du Bu Si narrowed his eyes at him, snorted coldly, and asked, "Let's set a time. When do we act?"
Xiao said coldly: "One month. I will be summoned to the Imperial City in one month. You only have one month."
"If you don't take action within this month, don't count on me."
Du Bu Si pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Okay, then let's set it for a month later."
……
The meeting between the Benti Sect and the internal supporters ended quickly, and the time for attacking Mingde Hall was set.
The plan of the Body Sect to attack Mingde Hall has been greatly advanced. One month later, the Body Sect will dig a tunnel and break through the defense of the underground base from below.
At that time, the Body Sect will break into Mingde Hall from the tunnel and wreak havoc, attracting the attention of the strong men in Mingde Hall. At the same time, the insider will deal with the soul guides around the 100,000-year soul beast embryo.
The Body Sect can send a special force to quietly steal the Conferred God Platform where the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryos are stored while the Mingde Hall's strong men are attracted.
The strong men from the Body Sect were planning the details of the operation, and Huo Yuhao was only qualified to listen. With his strength, he was far from being able to participate in this plan.
His face was grim, and while he was thinking about his next plan, Du Bu Si had already come to him, slapped him on the back, and laughed:
"Boy, I haven't seen you for half a year. Your cultivation has improved quite a lot. I didn't expect that you have already broken through the fourth ring."
Huo Yuhao forced a smile and said, “Master Du, you are too kind. I am still far inferior to the others in the sect.”
Du Bu Si asked, "I heard that you sneaked into Mingde Hall. In your opinion, what are the chances of success if I attack Mingde Hall?"
As long as he could get the 100,000-year soul beast embryo, he didn't care about anything else.
Huo Yuhao said seriously, “Master Du, during this time in Mingde Hall, I can feel their strength more and more.”
"It is possible that their soul masters may lose to most of the disciples in terms of individual strength, but their overall strength is not weaker than that of the Body Sect."
Du Bu Si frowned. Huo Yuhao's words seemed to be encouraging others and undermining his own prestige.
He has always been a stubborn person, and he looks down on those soul masters who rely on external things.
Du Bu Si's tone was somewhat unhappy. "You mean...I will fail this time?"
“That’s not what I meant.” Huo Yuhao whispered, “I just want to advise you, Poison Sect Master, to be careful.”
Du Bu Si grinned and said, "I've said before, nothing I've set my eyes on can escape."
"This hundred thousand year soul beast embryo, I must get it."
"Boy, you can go back and pack your things. A few days before we launch the attack, you can go directly back to the Sky Soul Empire."
……
Huo Yuhao was walking on the way back to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy with a grim expression on his face.
Jing Hongchen is contacting the next buyer and wants to sell the 100,000-year soul beast embryo, which means that his deception of Jing Hongchen has worked.
According to his original plan, he had to wait for an opportunity to negotiate with Jing Hongchen, and use the false identity of Beidi Douluo to exchange benefits for Xue Di from Jing Hongchen.
But now, the plan has undergone extremely uncontrollable changes.
He didn't expect that after the insider knew that Jing Hongchen was planning to sell the 100,000-year soul beast embryo, he would go to the Body Sect without any hesitation and let the wolf in.
