The two of them had a very good understanding and neither of them mentioned the whereabouts of the thirty level nine fixed-type soul guide shells. Jing Hongchen just thanked them and did not take the initiative to ask for them or ask any further questions.
Jing Hongchen turned to look at Xuan Ziwen and warned him, “Ziwen, you have to act well. Huo Yuhao’s other identity is nominally your student. He entered Sun Moon Academy under an assumed name several years ago. You have to cooperate with him.”
Xuan Ziwen nodded in agreement: "Master, I will cooperate."
He pondered for a while, looked up at Beidi Douluo, and asked sincerely: "Senior Beidi, I have an unwelcome request."
"But it doesn't matter."
Xuan Ziwen said: "His Royal Highness is certainly your enemy, but the current Crown Princess Juzi was once my student and Yuhao's former senior. After you succeed, I hope you can give him a lighter sentence based on our past friendship."
Then he added: "Of course, if she is stubborn and refuses to repent, it is her own fault and I will not plead for her."
Huo Yuhao fell silent after hearing this. After a while, he controlled Beidi Douluo and said solemnly: "In the future, all such matters will be handled by the cabinet. How to deal with them specifically depends on the opinion of the Prime Minister Hongchen Hall Master."
"Master Hongchen, I will leave first. You will never regret your decision today."
After saying this, Beidi Douluo and Huo Yuhao clasped their fists together for the last time, said goodbye to Jing Hongchen, and left Hongchen Mansion.
"grandfather……"
The Hongchen brothers and sisters waited together for Jing Hongchen to speak.
Jing Hongchen shook his head helplessly, and there was more tenderness in his eyes when he looked at the Hongchen brothers and sisters, and he told the story slowly.
"Xiao, Meng, your father passed away early, and the Hongchen family is in a lack of successors. Although you are talented, you are still immature. Mingde Hall has suddenly encountered a drastic change, and I must make the most favorable decision for the Hongchen family."
"Even if you are called a traitor and a traitor, why would I care?"

Chapter 435 A Visit from the Ordinary Alliance
Formerly the Xishui League, now the Beidi League, Qingse Hotel.
The news that Xishui League, one of the three major underground forces in Mingdu, had changed its leader quickly spread throughout the underground world of Mingdu, and almost everyone was curious about this new mysterious force.
Unlike regular sects, the underground world follows the simplest and most brutal rules, with almost no constraints. Both the territory and the industry are gained through fighting.
The original Xishui League had the backing of the Holy Spirit Church, forcing the other two major underground forces to unite to fight against it. However, with the end of the underground soul mentor competition and the collapse of the Xishui League, the entire Mingdu underground force is undergoing another large-scale reshuffle.
The Northern Alliance, which replaced the Xishui Alliance, had previously shown its strength for the first time and repelled all covetous people, but the investigation will not stop and will only increase. Everyone is wondering how deep the foundation of the Northern Alliance is.
On the third floor of the Qingse Hotel, in a meeting room specially used to receive distinguished guests, several men were waiting there, and behind them stood several pretty girls. These people all came from another major underground force in Mingdu, the Pingfan League.
They naturally came to "visit" the Northern Alliance, but whether they were friends or enemies was unknown.
At this time, a mighty Soul Emperor was speaking in a low voice to a Soul Douluo who was leading the group: "Brother, the Northern Alliance has only just arrived in Mingdu. Even if there are Titled Douluo in the alliance, there can't be too many of them."
"Our Pingfan League has been operating in Mingdu for many years, with countless strong men. We also won the championship of the underground soul mentor competition and won control of the rare metal industry. Now we are firmly seated as the largest underground force in Mingdu. Although the Beidi League has accepted the industry of Xishui League, the underground forces are intertwined and intricate. In my opinion, they have no time to manage it."
"The original black market of Xishui League made money much faster than ours. If we hadn't taken over the rare metal industry, our turnover would only be a fraction of theirs."
Having said that, he licked his lips, and a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.
The leading Soul Douluo frowned and scolded coldly, "You kid, do you think it's that easy? Leader Shangguan is even more wary of the Northern Alliance than the Western Alliance. Behind them stands a member of the royal family who wants to compete with His Royal Highness for the throne. If they succeed, their status will definitely be higher than that of the Prince."
"Make friends with them first, and then follow the leader's orders after the new emperor is established."
The Soul Emperor laughed and said, "Brother, I was just talking."
They lowered their voices when discussing, naturally because they were afraid that their hasty words would be heard by the Northern Alliance. However, judging from the gleam in Soul Douluo's eyes, he must also be interested in the industries under the former Xishui Alliance.
How much money can the pornography and entertainment industries make? Even in the underground industry, they are at the bottom of the contempt chain. Now that they have finally waited for an opportunity to upgrade the industry, the Ordinary Alliance will naturally not let it go easily.
But they didn't know the strength of the Northern Alliance, so they chose to come here cautiously to test the waters.
The Soul Douluo turned around and glanced at the beautiful girls standing behind him: "You all know what to do, right?"
They bowed their heads in awe at the same time: "Yes, sir."
The soul power fluctuations of the girls were very weak, probably only at level 10 at most, but their looks were all very attractive.
It was not polite to visit empty-handed, and these were naturally the gifts from the Ordinary Alliance to the Northern Alliance. Anyway, the Ordinary Alliance had no shortage of beauties, and these women were adopted and trained by the Ordinary Alliance since childhood, and were docile and well-behaved. Their purpose was to be given as gifts to noble lords.
Those with talent for cultivation will be trained, while those without talent for cultivation will not even be able to be ordinary maids, and will be chosen as gifts. As for their final fate, whether it is good or bad, it depends on how the new master treats them.
As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person. The Northern Alliance will naturally treat the guests who come to visit with courtesy.
While several people from the Ordinary Alliance were communicating, the door of the VIP room was pushed open by Chen An.
"Dear distinguished guests, sorry to have kept you waiting. The acting leader of our Northern Alliance has arrived."
As he spoke, he respectfully stepped aside to make way for the person behind him.
Several people from the Ordinary Alliance stood up at the same time and saluted the newcomer with a smile: "Greetings..."
Before they had finished their greetings, they were both stunned.
The acting leader who walked into the VIP room was Huo Qiuer.
"Hello everyone from the Pingfan Alliance. The leader is not here at the moment, so I will be the one to receive you. Didn't Leader Shangguan come in person?" Huo Qiu'er quickly glanced at everyone and had some impression of their appearance.
Previously, in the Ordinary League Division of the Underground Soul Instructor Competition, she had seen these people around Shangguan Weier. They should be Shangguan Weier’s trusted subordinates.
The Pingfan League members looked at Huo Qiu'er with doubtful expressions. The Underground Soul Instructor Competition had only been over for half a month, so they certainly would not forget Huo Qiu'er.
Whether in the sub-competition area or the final, Huo Qiuer was in an absolutely crushing position, and finally helped Pingfan League win the championship of the Underground Soul Instructor Competition.
But why is Huo Qiuer in the Northern Alliance now? And she is the acting leader of the Northern Alliance? And shouldn't she be a member of the Body Sect?
For a moment, countless questions arose in the minds of the ordinary alliance members at the same time. They didn't know how to start, and even forgot how to say the words they had prepared.
The leading Soul Douluo was the first to react: "So Miss Qiu'er is from the Northern Alliance, no wonder she is so talented. The Alliance Leader is very busy and cannot visit in person, I hope you can forgive me."
He clasped his hands together and thanked Huo Qiu'er: "I am Shao Jie. Thank you Miss Qiu'er for helping the Ordinary Alliance win the championship of the Underground Soul Instructor Competition."
He behaved very respectfully. Although Huo Qiuer was only a Soul Emperor, she had multiple identities and he would never dare to offend her.
Huo Qiuer responded calmly: "It's just an equal exchange. I also received enough compensation from the Ordinary Alliance."
After the polite words, it's time to get down to business.
"I wonder what the Ordinary Alliance has to offer by visiting the Northern Alliance?"
Huo Qiuer glanced at the beautiful girls and frowned in displeasure, as if she had guessed something.
Soul Douluo Shao Jie smiled and said, "I am here today on behalf of the Ordinary Alliance to make friends with the Northern Alliance. Since Miss Qiu'er is from the Northern Alliance, then everything will be easy to discuss."
"In the future, perhaps there will be more and more cooperation between our two alliances. I hope Miss Qiu'er can act as a matchmaker."
Huo Qiuer nodded indifferently and said, "If it is a cooperation that is beneficial to both parties, the Northern Alliance will naturally not refuse it."
Shao Jie extended his hand to the women behind him and said, "This is a small gift from the Ordinary Alliance to the Northern Alliance. Please accept it."
The beautiful girls understood what he meant and said respectfully in a timid voice, "Sir."
Huo Qiuer stared at these graceful women with an intriguing expression.
Shao Jie thought to himself that something was wrong, and felt that Pingfan Meng seemed to have chosen the wrong gift.
Huo Qiuer is also a woman, and sending beautiful women to her door is not what she wants.
A few drops of cold sweat flowed down Shao Jie's forehead. Just as he was about to change his words, he heard Huo Qiuer ask.
"I know a little bit about the prostitution industry of the Ordinary League. I wonder how many gold soul coins such a girl can fetch at the Ordinary League's Rose Auction House?"
Seeing the other party's interest, Shao Jie answered truthfully: "These are all top-grade ones that our Ordinary Alliance has cultivated since childhood, but their cultivation talents are poor, and the auction price is only a few thousand gold soul coins at most."
“However, if I meet a noble who falls in love at first sight and is willing to spend a fortune, then I can bid at most hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins.”
This is also the main industry of the Ordinary Alliance, so his voice inevitably sounded a bit boastful.
"One person only needs to spend this much gold soul coins to buy it completely..."
Huo Qiu'er murmured to herself indifferently, "I wonder if human life should be considered expensive or cheap?"
Japan released nuclear waste water today. If Poseidon really existed in the world, what would he do...

Chapter 436 An Unpleasant Visit
Seeing that Huo Qiuer was reluctant to accept the gift from Pingfan League, Shao Jie wondered how to handle the current situation tactfully.
"We are being rude today. If Miss Qiu'er doesn't like this gift, then we..."
Before he finished speaking, Huo Qiu'er smiled softly and said, "Is there any reason to take back the gift given by the Ordinary Alliance?"
It seems that she wants to keep these girls.
Seeing this, Shao Jie smiled and was about to continue speaking along the lines of Huo Qiuer.
But the sturdy Soul Emperor just laughed, showed a lewd look, and said frankly: "I didn't expect Miss Qiu'er to be so secretive and have such a hobby in private, just like our leader."
Huo Qiuer was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand what he meant at first. But she soon reacted, and the faint smile on her face disappeared instantly.
The sturdy man didn't have the ability to read people's expressions, so he continued to laugh and said, "It seems that women who can accomplish great things all have the same thing in common. We in the Ordinary Alliance have plenty of beauties."
"I heard that Miss Qiu'er's martial spirit is a dragon martial spirit, which is great. We have a rare dragon girl in the Ordinary Alliance."
Hearing the word "Dragon Girl", Huo Qiuer frowned slightly. Of course she knew what a Dragon Girl was.
Dragon girls are special creatures that are half human and half beast, covered with scales. Not only are they extremely beautiful, but they also have dragon blood essence in their bodies, which is a furnace with extremely special effects.
If humans can absorb the dragon blood essence in the dragon girl's body, they can let their martial souls have a hint of dragon blood, thus prompting the martial souls to evolve once on the original basis.
As for the method of absorption, it is naturally through intercourse with it.
The sturdy man continued, "Although Miss Qiu'er is a woman, we in the Ordinary Alliance also have a way to let Miss Qiu'er absorb the dragon blood essence of the dragon girl. This dragon blood essence does not have a strong effect on powerful soul masters, but it is very different for dragon-type martial soul soul masters."
His smile became more and more malicious, but he didn't notice that Huo Qiuer's expression was getting uglier and uglier.
"Don't worry, Miss Qiu'er. Even if she is a half-human, half-beast dragon girl, after being trained by our Ordinary League, she will become as well-behaved as a human girl."
The sturdy man was talking excitedly when Huo Qiuer in front of him had already started.
Shao Jie thought to himself that something was wrong and was about to stop this outspoken subordinate, but it was too late.
Huo Qiuer stretched out her right arm, and with a seemingly easy grab, she had already lifted the strong man up in her hand. She opened her right palm with five fingers wide, biting the other's cheeks tightly like a giant pincer.
“Oooooh…”
The sturdy man's eyes widened, and he could only utter indistinct groans. Huo Qiu'er raised his right arm, forcing his tall body to stand on tiptoes.
