Orange couldn't help but chuckle: "You said you weren't thinking about anything, but you seem to be in a daze, and it's already lunch time."
As she spoke, she stretched out a hand and said playfully, "Here, grilled fish, please."
Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly, took out a few grilled fish and handed them to Orange, and also had some for Du Keke and Zi Mu beside him.
Ke Ke took the grilled fish carelessly, took a big bite without caring about her image, and said, "Junior Yuhao, you must have something on your mind recently. Every day when you come to the lab, you are either in a daze or in a daze."
“No, Senior Sister Keke, you’re overthinking it.” Huo Yuhao shrugged.
Ke Ke looked at him suspiciously: "Impossible, you must be worried about something, hehe, you can't hide it from me."
After Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "I do have some concerns recently."
Ke Ke's eyes lit up: "What is it? Tell me quickly."
Juzi and Zimu also asked with concern: "Tell us what it is, maybe we can help."
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, “It’s nothing serious, I just got stuck in some philosophical dilemmas recently.”
Ke Ke couldn't help but frown: "Brother Yuhao, why do you speak in such a vague way like those older teachers?"
Orange asked curiously, "What is it?"
Huo Yuhao said calmly: "For example, if there is someone who is very kind to you and often takes the initiative to send you gifts, but you don't like this person, what should you do?"
Orange said as a matter of course: "Since I don't like him, then I shouldn't accept anything from him."
Huo Yuhao pressed on: “But you can’t refuse that person’s kindness at all. He is forcing the gift on you. What should you do?”
Juzi's face was full of confusion: "How can I not refuse? Can't I just return all the gifts he gave me?"
Huo Yuhao continued to ask: "What if this person threatens Senior Sister Ke Ke and forces you to accept his gift. If you don't accept it, he will kill you. Senior Sister, what will your choice be?"
tangerine:"……"
Ju Zi fell into a brief silence, and then said blankly: "How could there be such a madman? What does he want?"
Huo Yuhao said calmly: "He may not be scheming, or he may just be doing this for your own good."
Hearing this, Ke Ke couldn't sit still anymore. She slammed the table and said angrily, "He wanted to kill me. How can this be considered good for Ju Zi? We are best friends."
Huo Yuhao turned his questioning to Keke again: "Senior Keke, if it were you, what would you choose?"
Ke Ke turned up her nose and said, "Humph, if it were me, I would accept the things first, no matter what he did to me."
Zi Mu said helplessly: "Ke Ke, this is not a good idea..."
"Humph, what's wrong with that?" Ke Ke said as if it was a matter of course. "It's not what I wanted anyway. He gave it to me on his own initiative. Isn't it what he wants if I accept it?"
Ju Zi looked at Ke Ke helplessly, then turned to Huo Yuhao: "Yuhao, what are your thoughts?"
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly: "Senior sister, I don't have any ideas yet, so I want to listen to your opinions. Thank you for sharing."
……
Demonic forest.
This is another soul beast gathering area within the Sun-Moon Empire, where lives the most powerful soul beast of the Sun-Moon Empire - the second of the ten most ferocious beasts, the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord, also known as the Evil Emperor.
However, few people know that this is also the headquarters of the mysterious evil soul master organization Holy Spirit Cult.
Holy Spirit Church, headquarters.
There was no lighting in the dim hall. A woman covered in a dark red cloak stood in it, listening quietly to the report from Wanhun Douluo not far behind her.
After Elder Wanhun finished his report, he respectfully waited for the mysterious woman's instructions.
Finally, the mysterious woman spoke in a slightly sharp voice, and her age could not be determined.
"You said that Jing Hongchen wanted to sell the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo?"
Wanhun Douluo nodded: "Grandmaster, I have personally talked to Jing Hongchen, and he has exactly this intention."
The mysterious woman known as the Supreme Master asked, "Have you told him that my sect has taken a fancy to this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo?"
Wanhun Douluo said: "I did tell Jing Hongchen, but he didn't like the conditions I offered."
The mysterious woman asked with interest: "Oh? What conditions did you offer him?"
Wanhun Douluo said: "With the current resources of my sect, I promised him 100 million gold soul coins and two ninth-level soul guides in exchange for a 100,000-year soul beast embryo."
Hearing his words, the mysterious woman laughed strangely a few times, and then scolded: "Foolish, do you think Jing Hongchen is short of money? You can't think of using soul guides to exchange things with Mingde Hall. Is there a soul guide that is better than the one produced by Mingde Hall?"
Wanhun Douluo whispered: "The Supreme Master is right."
The mysterious woman bowed her head and thought for a while, then said to herself, "Why would Jing Hongchen suddenly want to sell the 100,000-year soul beast embryo?"
"Why didn't those strong men who got the embryos of these hundred thousand year old spirit beasts choose to absorb them, but kept passing them around?"
Wanhun Douluo frowned and asked, "Did the Supreme Master discover anything?"
The mysterious woman said calmly: "I have a good understanding of hundred thousand year soul beasts. It is not easy to absorb their soul rings and soul bones."
"Not only do they have to endure pain that ordinary people cannot bear, but they also have to do their best to avoid being bitten back."
Wanhun Douluo remained silent.
Although he is a Titled Douluo-level warrior after all, he does not have a hundred thousand year spirit ring.
But the mysterious woman in front of him had three hundred thousand year soul rings.
The mysterious woman continued, "I have heard that there are many special soul beasts. Although they are powerful, in order to absorb their soul rings and soul bones, specific and harsh conditions must be met."
"Otherwise, not only will the absorption fail, wasting a precious spirit ring and spirit bone in vain, but you may even suffer a severe backlash."
Wanhun Douluo was stunned, and continued with the mysterious woman's words: "You mean, Jing Hongchen realized that this 100,000-year soul beast embryo is such a special soul beast, and the people who have it cannot absorb it, so he had to pass it on?"
The mysterious woman shook her head: "I just made a guess. Whether it is correct or not, it needs further verification."
"But it's very likely, otherwise why would Jing Hongchen suddenly plan to sell this 100,000-year soul beast embryo?"
Wanhun Douluo hesitated for a moment and said, "Grandmaster, do we still want to take over this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo?"
The mysterious woman said, "Yes, why not?"
Wanhun Douluo asked doubtfully: "But, if it is true as you said, the soul ring and soul bone of this 100,000-year soul beast embryo cannot be absorbed, then wouldn't we suffer a great loss?"
“Haha, what I’m interested in is not the soul ring and soul bone of this 100,000-year soul beast embryo.” The mysterious woman laughed strangely, “Elder Wanhun, what do you think will happen if the soul power of this 100,000-year soul beast embryo is made into a vengeful spirit?”
Wanhun Douluo was stunned at first, and then a burst of heat and madness burst out in his eyes.
He has been playing with souls for decades, and there are countless vengeful spirits in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his hand, but most of them are ordinary people. He has never thought of turning the souls of hundred thousand year soul beasts into vengeful spirits.
But once it succeeds, how much power can a vengeful spirit at the level of a hundred thousand year soul beast unleash?
"The Supreme Master is wise." Wanhun Douluo suppressed his excitement and asked, "Then what conditions do you plan to offer Jing Hongchen?"
"Jing Hongchen is not short of money, nor is he short of anything else. I know what he needs." The mysterious woman said with a smile.
"In the name of Kong Deming, he will definitely be willing to give it."
Wanhun Douluo was stunned: "Grand Master, how can you invite the head soul guide of the Sun Moon Empire?"
"Humph, with a hundred thousand year old soul beast-level vengeful spirit filling it, maybe it can help the Death God Tower break through to a true tenth-level soul guide. I believe Kong Deming will be happy to see everything."
The man called Kong Deming by the two is the chief soul engineer of the Sun-Moon Empire, a Titled Douluo at level ninety-four, and the closest person to a level ten soul engineer in the entire continent.
His strength is unfathomable, and even the Supreme Leader of the Holy Spirit Church is very afraid of him.
But the mysterious woman knew that the number one soul guide of the Sun-Moon Empire had been concentrating on the research of soul guides and had not appeared in the public eye for a long time.
She could take this opportunity to use the name of this old man Kong to bluff Jing Hongchen. After all, most of the Death Tower that she mentioned that could break through the tenth-level soul guide was created by this old man Kong.
Wanhun Douluo asked: "Then how should I negotiate with Jing Hongchen?"
The mysterious woman sneered and said, "Haha, forget it. With your strength, it's not enough for Jing Hongchen to look at you straight in the eye."
Wanhun Douluo's face turned pale, but he did not dare to refute the mysterious woman's words.
At this moment, in the dim hall, a tall figure walked out slowly from the darkness with his hands behind his back.
The mysterious woman asked him coldly: "Can you go talk to Jing Hongchen?"
"Easy to do."
The tall figure responded in a faint, old voice, and then disappeared into the darkness.
Wanhun Douluo did not dare to delay and quickly followed the tall old man and disappeared.
……
Soon the day of the Body Sect's planned action arrived. Huo Yuhao stood outside the underground base, using simulation to hide himself while silently calculating the time.
He did not leave Sun and Moon Academy alone and return to Tianhun Empire as Du Bu Si had instructed, but waited, waiting for the right opportunity.
Powerful spiritual detection penetrated the land. The thick ground seemed to block the infiltration of spiritual power. Huo Yuhao was fully focused, trying to capture the subtle vibrations coming from underground.
rustle--
Slight vibrations and digging sounds came from underground, and then became louder and louder.
"Tian Meng, Bing Di, my power of destiny tells me that the next scene may be full of twists and turns. Are you really ready?"
The Ice Emperor said firmly: "No matter what, I will rescue the Snow Girl."
Tian Meng echoed, "I...I will also do my best to help Bing Bing."
Huo Yuhao raised his head, took a deep breath, and walked into the elevator.
Chapter 257 Attacks and Uninvited Guests (4k)
Mingde Hall, underground base.
Jing Hongchen sat in his newly renovated office, making tea and thinking.
His face was gloomy. In the past month, how to deal with the hundred thousand year soul beast embryo had become a problem that troubled him.
A hundred thousand year soul beast embryo was originally enough to create a future super Douluo, and might even allow him to awaken a second martial soul, so Jing Hongchen had to take a picture of it no matter what.
Unfortunately, this hundred thousand year soul beast embryo is not only a hot potato, but also a time bomb.
Jing Hongchen intends to make the most of this time bomb and seek the greatest benefit for himself.
He has secretly contacted several potential buyers, but unfortunately the conditions offered by the other party did not satisfy him.
Gold soul coins, elixirs, metals, soul guides...
