"Hu-hu-"
Huo Yuhao stood bent over on the snow, the excitement in his heart was beyond words.
Two blood-red soul rings with golden patterns flickered slowly behind him, one of them had four golden patterns, and the other had seven.
A hint of surprise flashed across Xue Di's cold eyes, and she praised him, "I didn't expect you to be able to accept my power so easily. This ice attribute seems to be born this way."
"Thank you."
Huo Yuhao chuckled and said this, trying hard not to fall down.
He raised his right hand slightly, summoning a flurry of snow.
The pure white snowflakes are even colder and more dangerous than the emerald green ice cubes of the Ice Emperor.
"What a pity." Xue Di showed a regretful expression on her face, "If my original body was still there, I could give you a 700,000-year-old head soul bone."
It’s gone, so be it. Although Huo Yuhao felt a little regretful, he didn’t worry about the loss.
"Yuhao, you succeeded so easily." Tianmeng's delighted voice sounded impatiently, and Bingdi's figure also walked out slowly.
Bingdi said to Xuedi apologetically: "I'm sorry, Xue'er, it's all because..."
Xue Di rubbed her head without any intention of blaming her. She turned to Huo Yuhao and said, "Human, your name is Huo Yuhao, right? Don't forget the agreement between us."
"I can fully support your plan to create a god, but in return, you must also help the entire Far North."
Huo Yuhao snapped his fingers and said with a smile: “Don’t worry, Xue Di. Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, you will never find an investment with such a high rate of return.”
Snow Queen nodded, and suddenly heard Ice Queen ask doubtfully: "Xue'er, what is the crisis in the Far North you mentioned? How come I don't understand it at all?"
Xue Di sighed and said, "Bing'er, I just have a vague hunch. The first possibility is that it is related to humans."
"This time I transformed and rebuilt myself, and was captured by humans by chance. I have come to understand that the power of humans is beyond your and my imagination."
"They already have the ability to easily penetrate the core area of the Far North, and can also seal me with that mysterious soul guide. Maybe in the future, humans will be able to hunt down my compatriots in the Far North on a large scale."
Bingdi was stunned: "Humans shouldn't be that powerful, right? Are there any other possibilities?"
Xue Di sighed again and said, "Another possibility is related to the soul beast master I mentioned to you before."
"Now that you and I have left the Far North, I am worried that A-Tai and Xiao-Bai are not capable of taking charge."
Huo Yuhao did not interrupt their conversation, but lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
“The Far North…” Huo Yuhao murmured.
Perhaps if you really want to join an organization, this is the most appropriate and reasonable choice.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneer.
"Yes, after all, I am the Northland Douluo~"
……
Mingde Hall, underground base.
Jing Hongchen, who had not slept all night, sat there tiredly. He had just arranged a group of people to renovate Mingde Hall, and he was finally able to take a break.
With his strength as a Titled Douluo, this little bit of physical exertion was not enough to defeat him. What brought him down was the psychological sorrow.
Mingde Hall had already been devastated by the attack by the Benti Sect. After the attack, there was an unknown and horrific explosion underground, causing several giant laboratories to collapse.
The damage to various high-level soul guides was a huge loss for Mingde Hall, but fortunately there were not too many casualties, which was one of the few things that made the Mingde Hall Master feel relieved.
But his rest time was interrupted before it even began. Long Xiaoyao walked slowly in front of him with his hands behind his back.
"Master of Hongchen Hall."
"Senior Dragon Emperor Douluo." Jing Hongchen hurriedly saluted.
If it weren't for the help of the Dragon Emperor Douluo in front of him, the loss of Mingde Hall would probably be immeasurable.
"Master Hongchen, did the final explosion affect Mingde Hall?" Long Xiaoyao asked.
Jing Hongchen answered truthfully: "Fortunately, there were not many casualties. Senior Dragon Emperor Douluo, what caused the explosion?"
"It was caused by the self-detonation of the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo." Long Xiaoyao said calmly, "What a pity for this priceless treasure."
“It actually exploded?” Jing Hongchen’s eyes shrank, and then he actually felt a little indifferent. He smiled self-deprecatingly, “Let it explode. It will be a nuisance if it stays.”
"Please ask Senior Dragon Emperor Douluo to tell Elder Kong that he is disappointed."
"Thank you for your help today, I will never forget it."
Dragon Emperor Douluo nodded and said, "Okay, Master Hongchen, I will go there then."
As he spoke, he disappeared into Mingde Hall with the severely injured Wanhun Douluo.
Jing Hongchen looked up to the sky and sighed deeply, and then a hint of viciousness and cruelty flashed in his eyes.
"Noumenon Sect, poison will not kill you!"
His eyes widened like an angry toad, ready to swallow his imaginary enemy whole.
But soon, he put away the hatred in his eyes and became terrifyingly calm.
He has more important things to do than taking revenge on the Benti Sect.
Last night, someone informed the imperial city about the attack on Mingde Hall, and His Majesty the Emperor has already learned about it.
When he heard this, his condition worsened, and Chuan Jing Hong Chen rushed into the palace.
Soon, Jing Hongchen will go to the palace to confess his crime in person to the Emperor.
The punishment has not yet come, but demotion is inevitable.
The position of Master Mingde will probably not be removed, as there is no suitable person to take his place now.
Jing Hongchen is now thinking about how to rebuild Mingde Hall. There are several difficult problems before him.
Good news, most of Mingde Hall’s soul guides are still alive.
The bad news is that the laboratory tables that are essential for soul engineers to make soul guides were almost smashed.
The thousands of laboratory tables in total were the accumulation of Mingdetang over several years, and they were all scrapped in just a quarter of an hour. It would be faster to build a new one than to repair it.
There are a host of other issues as well.
He opened his mouth and wanted to call his confidant to assign some tasks to him, but he got no response.
Someone told him that the other party had died in the attack, which left Jing Hongchen stunned for several seconds.
He was silent for a while, shook his head regretfully, and without thinking any more, left Mingde Hall and flew towards the imperial city.
The Sun and Moon Emperor was very angry about this matter and originally planned to severely punish Jing Hongchen, but considering his past achievements and the fact that his losses were not serious, the final punishment was acceptable.
Jing Hongchen flew out of the imperial city with a gloomy face. Now there was something that made it even more difficult for him to deal with.
The Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince all sent people to convey to him privately that they would provide strong support for his restoration of Mingde Hall.
The meaning is already obvious.
"hiss……"
Jing Hongchen raised his head and took a deep breath.
His Majesty the Emperor has clearly emphasized to the princes time and again that they are strictly forbidden to show favor to him, but the three princes simultaneously pretended to obey and secretly disobeyed. What does this mean?
All the princes no longer took the old emperor seriously. His illness was getting worse and worse, and he didn't have many years left to live.
Jing Hongchen never takes sides, but that doesn't mean he won't take sides. If there is a right time and confidence, he will naturally take sides.
He has always been optimistic about Crown Prince Xu Tianran, who has an iron fist, is swift and decisive, and has the demeanor of an emperor.
But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to succeed to the throne, but he has a fatal weakness - he is a disabled person.
He didn't dare to gamble because he recently heard rumors that the Third Prince seemed to have joined forces with the Fifth Prince.
Neither of the two princes could necessarily compete with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on their own, but what if they joined forces?
Jing Hongchen had to temporarily decline the kindness of the three princes and rush to Sun and Moon Academy.
There were many things to do in restoring Mingde Hall, and rebuilding thousands of laboratory tables became one of his first considerations.
The experimental tables specially made by Mingdetang are not simple at all. Each one is multifunctional, which can make the manufacturing of soul guides more efficient.
How can we rebuild so many laboratory tables at once?
A figure flashed through Jing Hongchen's mind.
Huo Yuhao.
Isn't he researching a special soul guide that can automatically manufacture soul guides?
Although the experimental table is complicated, its level is not high, and the core magic array is not complicated either.
Isn't this a perfect opportunity to test the soul-guided machine tool?
Jing Hongchen was delighted, but suddenly he was stunned.
He thought of something he had never noticed before.
What is Huo Yuhao’s first martial soul?
Although Huo Yuhao did not say it himself, Jing Hongchen vaguely found out about it when he was investigating him before.
It looks like eyes.
Eyes? The main body spirit?
Is he from the Benti Sect?
Jing Hongchen's eyes froze, and suddenly endless murderous intent burst out.
Chapter 263: Jing Hongchen Completely Dispels Suspicion (4k)
Jing Hongchen's face looked terribly gloomy.
He has always known that there is a traitor inside Mingde Hall, and the traitor should be a senior soul instructor around him.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for external forces to know the exact location of the 100,000-year-old embryo and steal it.
However, he had always been extremely confident in Mingde Hall's defense, and it was not easy to interrogate those senior soul masters, so he did not care.
However, now that he thought about it carefully, the accomplice might also come from outside.
