Chapter 44: Xing Luo, who suffered a great loss, returns to Sun and Moon
Snapped!
"What did you say?!"
Inside the magnificent hall, a blond middle-aged man wearing an imperial robe and an eight-treasure purple gold crown on his head slammed the table and stood up. His shocked and angry look made the three black-clothed men who were half-kneeling below tremble.
The leading black-clothed man gritted his teeth and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Elder Yu and his team... and the 10,000-man team responsible for capturing soul beasts... have all disappeared..."
The Emperor of the Xing Luo Empire felt a black screen before his eyes, and his body swayed, almost falling off the throne, with even his crown tilted. He felt as if the sky was falling, his chest was choked, and he felt so sad that he felt like he was going to die immediately.
What does that soul-hunting team of tens of thousands of people mean? He knows it very well. Elder Yu and the two Fire Element Title Douluo are half of the high-end forces of the entire Xingluo Empire!
The soul master strength of the three empires was originally limited. In order to capture the Snow Empress, the empire planned for at least five years and spent a huge amount of money to dispatch this team of ten thousand soul masters. They are equivalent to one-fifth of the soul master strength of the current Xingluo Empire!
The disappearance of dozens or hundreds of people was still acceptable, but the disappearance of tens of thousands of people... I'm afraid their fate would be total annihilation...
Taking a deep breath and trying to suppress the blood rushing through his body, Emperor Xingluo whispered, "Does anyone else know about this?"
The man in black shook his head quickly: "Besides us, there is only you..."
His Majesty the Emperor managed to calm himself down and said, "Okay. Remember, this matter... cannot be known to a fifth person for the time being! Go to the north of the continent and look for... the traces of Yu Lao and the others..."
"Yes!" The three men in black hurriedly agreed at the same time. Seeing that their Majesty had finally regained his composure, they felt relieved.
His Majesty the Emperor's face turned red and white. He was regretting his decision and hated the three kings of the Far North.
His only hope now is that the three Yu brothers are not really dead yet. He wants to see them alive or dead!
Moreover, there is also the ninth-level soul guide device, the God-conferring Platform...
What a huge loss! Three Title Douluo, 10,000 spirit masters, plus a ninth-level spirit guide, this kind of loss is an astronomical figure!
This isn't the Sun Moon Empire. The entire Xing Luo can't produce a fourth ninth-level soul guide! !
He forced himself to sit back on the throne, and the Xingluo Emperor's originally irritable mood calmed down in the face of the crisis.
"One last thing. Send people to all the large auction houses, including those in the Sun and Moon Empire, to keep an eye on all high-end auctions. If you find a Conferred God Platform, even a fragment of it will do! As long as it appears, immediately buy it back at all costs."
"According to the order!!"
Lu Xueling and Xilin, who had just returned to the Sun-Moon Empire, were unaware that the Three Kings of the Far North, who had been made into the core of the Herrscher, would have to take the blame for them even after their death.
Fortunately, the operation was confidential and the news did not leak out, otherwise the royal family of the Sun-Moon Empire would have celebrated with champagne for a whole day and night.
The space distorted slightly, and Xilin and Lu Xueling returned to this familiar room again. The Herrscher Core had been put away, but this thing could not be shown to Jing Hongchen and the others yet.
"Your Majesty, you are back. Did the operation go well?" Bella was right at the door. She was overjoyed to see them return.
Xilin patted Beibeilong on the head and smiled: "If I and Erode work together, how can we not succeed?"
"Your Majesty the Queen is so majestic!" Bella complimented appropriately.
Lu Xueling also stepped forward and asked about business: "Bella, has there been any changes in the past three days?" Bella spread her hands: "Nothing serious, but the child you asked me to pay attention to is very serious and seems to be making rapid progress. As for the research progress on Bai Lian Armor... To be honest, the progress of this group of humans is less than 5%."
Lu Xueling nodded slightly and decided to go there himself: "Xilin, you and Bella stay here, I will do the negotiation. Oh, by the way, Bella, this is for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xueling waved his hand, and the three beast soul bones flew out and landed in Beibeilong's palm.
"I've used Honkai energy to add some [seasoning] to it, little Bella, take your time."
Bella held three beast soul bones in her hands, her dragon eyes gleaming with brilliance: "Thank you!"
Without saying a word, Bella swallowed it in one gulp. With a casual bite of the dragon tooth, she heard the sound of bones breaking in her mouth, and the dark blue energy of collapse quickly began to flow in her body.
Lu Xueling didn't wait for Bella to digest it and walked straight towards Jing Hongchen's office.
Xilin sat cross-legged in the air, watching him leave with gentle eyes. She reached out and touched her spine, feeling the clear lines there, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
Inside the hall master's office, Jing Hongchen was silently admiring the data drawing of the domain equipment Bai Lian in his hand. He was already an old guy, and besides, he was not a woman, so he naturally had no need for this thing.
But his granddaughter might be able to use it! Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were the siblings he valued the most. Although his grandson couldn't use it, his granddaughter was not bad either.
Moreover, after Lu Xueling and Xilin went out, Jing Hongchen had been racking his brains for the past three days to find a way to copy the armor that men could wear, and he did it himself. Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished. The Valkyrie armor, even if it was only an incomplete C-level, was only studied superficially by everyone in Mingde Hall. Not to mention the stigmata, the level of understanding was just these two words.
It seems that I still have to trouble Mr. Lu in the end...
Jing Hongchen felt very troubled by the feeling of being blocked by science and technology. To be honest, not only him, but even the Sun and Moon Empire had not experienced this for a long time.
Jing Hongchen was in a state of confusion: "I heard that... the Supreme Leader of the Guardian God Cult is also a ninth-level soul mentor, and even the legendary 99th-level Ultimate Douluo. Do I have to trouble her?"
Dang Dang Dang.
There was a sound from the metal door of the office. Jing Hongchen collected his thoughts and coughed, saying, "Come in."
Lu Xueling walked in with a calm face. Jing Hongchen saw that it was him and quickly stood up to greet him: "Mr. Lu, why didn't you tell me that you came back so that I could go and greet you."
Lu Xueling waved his hand and chuckled, "Master, let's forget about that unnecessary occasion and get down to business. Today I'm here to fulfill the promise I made when I went out."
Hearing this, Jing Hongchen was overjoyed, and the corners of his mouth were cracked and couldn't be closed: "Then, when will it start?"
That’s the second set of Valkyrie armor!
Lu Xueling snapped his fingers and said, "I'll give it to you now. Also, Master Hongchen, please send someone to get the [Domain Equipment·Bai Lian]."
"No problem." Jing Hongchen agreed without thinking. To show his sincerity, he even went out to Mingdetang's secret laboratory in person to retrieve the Bailian armor.
I'm going back to school tonight, and the next chapter will be posted later.
