Douluo 2: Transmigrated as an Evil Soul Master, Enemies of the World

Chapter 230 Rumble

In the Mingdu city.

One after another, figures flashed by, descending from the sky and landing in the courtyard next to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

With the matter at the palace resolved, the high-ranking Soul Masters responsible for guarding the important warehouses all rushed back immediately.

There are eight high-ranking Soul Masters stationed here. The leader is an old man who is tall and thin with deep-set eyes and dark skin.

He has some royal blood.

This man, named Xu Guozhong, was actually disloyal and extremely concerned with personal gain.

Back then, it was he who helped the current emperor successfully usurp the throne, obtaining a large number of precious medicinal herbs, which enabled him to achieve his current level of cultivation.

He is an imperial prince, a powerful figure with considerable influence in the military, and a level nine soul master. He is a true big shot in the Sun Moon Empire.

Xu Tianran has been trying to win him over recently, but Xu Guozhong has not made a clear statement.

He was a typical miser. Given his status and position, he wouldn't have needed to come to the warehouse every day; he could have stayed in his own palace.

But his greatest pleasure was taking inventory of the treasures in the warehouse, especially the second and third floors.

Of course, the reason he rushed back so quickly was not only because he was worried about the safety of the area, but also because he was worried about his own safety.

The battle at the palace was terrifying; if things went wrong, I could have been killed.

Where is Li Chong?

Entering the alley, seeing that the guards outside were all in order, Xu Guozhong felt relieved and strode into the courtyard.

"Where has Li Chong gone? Come out here right now!"

Xu Guozhong was displeased to see that Li Chong had not come out to greet him immediately.

But after calling out, there was still no response.

"alert!"

At this moment, Xu Guozhong sensed something was wrong and shouted in a deep voice.

The Soul Masters accompanying him were all high-level, with three of them being level eight Soul Masters.

In an instant, amidst the clanging sounds, each person released their prized soul-guided weapon.

With the soul guide shield activated, several level seven soul masters immediately began searching the rooms.

However, Li Chong seemed to have vanished into thin air; all the rooms were empty, and there was no one in sight.

Xu Guozhong seemed to have suddenly thought of something, his face turned extremely ugly, and he quickly rushed into the middle room.

This allowed everyone to quickly enter the warehouse.

……

The cannon muzzles that had been exposed inside the palace buildings of the Sun and Moon Empire had all been retracted.

Various cleaning and repair tasks are being carried out in an orderly manner.

Xu Tianran still stood in front of the ruins of the Imperial Study, with the Holy Spirit Cult Leader and Jing Hongchen standing on either side of him.

By this time, all the evil spirit masters had disappeared.

Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao has also disappeared without a trace.

A guard dressed in a tight-fitting outfit quickly approached Jing Hongchen and whispered a few words to her.

Jing Hongchen nodded, walked to Xu Tianran's side, bowed, and said:
"Your Highness, the highest level of security on the east, north, and south sides is complete, and the level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons are ready. As long as they dare to break through from these three directions, they will immediately be subjected to our strongest bombardment."

According to our scouts, they have split into two groups. The Shrek Academy group went to the west, while the group from the Body Sect, the Heavenly Soul Empire, and the Star Luo Empire went to a viscount's mansion in the east of the city.

After entering, there was no further movement; it seemed to have gone into hiding.

"Hibernation?"

Xu Tianran frowned and narrowed his eyes slightly;
"Order people to strengthen surveillance and force them to head west. They are probably not just lying low."

If they split up due to disagreements with Shrek Academy, their breakout route might not necessarily be to the west. Grand Preceptor, could you send some of your men there? "Yes!"

The leader of the Holy Spirit Cult nodded, turned and disappeared into the darkness, only returning a few breaths later.

“I have already sent people over there. Without those people from Shrek Academy, the people I sent will cooperate with the Empire’s Soul Master Legion. If they try to break through by force, they will definitely pay a heavy price.”

However, I don't quite understand why His Highness didn't tell us to go all out just now? If we had gone all out, and with the Supreme Elder joining in, at least half of those people could have survived.

Xu Tianran's expression changed slightly:
"This is the capital of the empire and the location of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Palace. If we fight them with all our might, we can certainly inflict huge losses on them, but our casualties will also be considerable."

With so many titled Douluo among them, if they disregard all established rules and launch an attack on the city, Mingdu will surely be devastated. How can I explain this to my subjects?

He was well aware that the Holy Spirit Cult Leader would not care about the suffering of the people.

The deaths of a large number of civilians are actually beneficial to these evil spirit masters. Naturally, he fears nothing more than a peaceful world, but how could he allow the Holy Spirit Cult to do such a thing?

He was actually more worried that evil spirit masters would take advantage of the situation to cause chaos and kill a large number of civilians.

The leader of the Holy Spirit Cult snorted coldly:
"Those little brats from the Tang Clan must not be allowed to escape. I will turn them all into corpse puppets."

He hated the people of the Tang Sect to the core. The deaths of several outstanding young Soul Masters had a tremendous impact on him, causing him immense pain.

……

Underground warehouse!

boom……

Amidst the deafening roar, Prince Xu Guozhong's soul-guided shield shone brightly, blocking the frontal shockwave.

They got stuck after entering the elevator; it had been tampered with.

It took the subordinates a great deal of effort to blast open the elevator and crawl out from the bottom.

At this moment, Xu Guozhong's face had turned ashen, the color of the bottom of a pot.

Upon entering the passage, he saw his two subordinates lying on the ground, their bodies already cold.

Something terrible has happened at the warehouse.

……

The Underground Soul Master Competition has ended. Huo Yuhao, relying on his powerful mental strength and the core technology of soul tools stolen from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, created an advanced soul tool and achieved final victory.

The rewards were laid out one by one in front of Huo Yuhao.

The rare metals are measured in tons, and of paramount importance is the level-nine soul tool, the Sun and Moon Divine Needle.

To use the Sun and Moon Divine Needle, the user's cultivation level must be at least the eighth ring.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to control, and there wouldn't be enough soul power to support it.

"Tang Wu, thank you for your cooperation with our alliance. You deserve this!"

All the rewards from the Xi Shui Alliance, including the level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell, were placed in front of Huo Yuhao.

……

Underground warehouse.

boom……

Countless metal fragments scattered and flew everywhere.

Xu Guozhong, his face grim, dispelled the smoke in front of him. As soon as the soul-guided rays reached within a meter of him, they were all blocked by an invisible barrier.

At this moment, Xu Guozhong's eyes subconsciously looked in one direction, where a faint red light quietly spread.

Red, rising!
"Timed High-Explosive Soul Guidance Device..."

As a level nine soul master, Xu Guozhong quickly made the judgment, and a hint of despair flashed in his eyes.

Rumble…
