Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 193 This Mountain Is Mine
There were more than a dozen people sitting on the sofa behind him, each with a different expression on their face: some were envious, some were indifferent, some were jealous, and some were dissatisfied, and so on.

Old Ma frowned deeply: "Laughing at the world, isn't this raising the price too much? Twenty million gold coins at a time, this..."

Xiao Hongchen's emotions were currently influenced by the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo, and he had entered a special state of excitement. Without thinking, he said, "Not at all! With this treasure, I can possess twin martial souls or a 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone. This is something that is extremely rare and hard to come by. How can I let it go? My Hongchen family is determined to have this embryo!"

Old Ma sighed softly and said no more.

The number of 150 million gold soul coins finally stopped increasing; this astronomical figure was terrifying for any faction.

“As expected, they were all frightened by me,” Xiao Hongchen snorted in VIP room number two, then turned to Elder Ma and said, “Elder Ma, this treasure is an absolute hot potato. The auction house can guarantee our safety during the handover, but not necessarily afterwards. After the transaction, you should take it back to our academy immediately and hand it over to my great-grandfather. Once it’s in Mingde Hall, let’s see who dares to mess with it.”

Old Ma nodded and said, "That's right. We should try to keep a low profile. An item worth hundreds of millions is extremely rare in the history of the entire continent. I will return it through Mingde Hall's secret channels in Xingluo City."

In VIP Room No. 1, Emperor Xingluo listened to the news coming in one after another, and the smile on his face grew wider and wider: "One hundred and fifty million, Master Mingde, I hope you like the gift I have given you."

After speaking, he slowly stood up, and the soul guidance screen in front of him cracked open to both sides. The figure of the emperor of the empire slowly disappeared in that secret passage.

Meanwhile, in Shrek's room, after everyone had finished watching the show, they began to prepare to return through the secret passage in the room.

Huo Yuhao was the last to enter the passage. He turned his head to look in the direction of VIP Room No. 2, a slight smile on his lips, and murmured softly, "150 million, the generous Young Master Xiao, as expected of a top-tier rich second generation. Thank you for this gift."

Back at the Star Emperor Hotel, everyone went back to their own rooms. Huo Yuhao asked Wang Yan to help him apply for a quiet cultivation room so he could absorb soul rings.

"Teacher Wang, if I don't send a signal, none of you should come in and disturb me. The Ice Jade Scorpion is, after all, an extreme attribute soul beast, and I need absolute quiet and concentration. Your disturbance might actually affect my absorption of the soul ring." Huo Yuhao looked at the slightly worried crowd outside the room and earnestly instructed them.

Wang Yan nodded seriously and said, "I understand. Although you have absorbed the Ice Jade Scorpion's soul ring and soul bone before, this time the age limit is too high. You must be careful. If you find anything wrong, crush the communication board that the hotel provides. I will be guarding the door tonight and will not let anyone in to disturb you."

Huo Yuhao replied earnestly, "Okay, Teacher Wang, I understand."

With a "bang," Huo Yuhao's figure disappeared from everyone's sight as the heavy iron door of the meditation room closed.

“Yuhao isn’t a reckless person. The fact that he dared to absorb this spirit ring means he’s confident. Alright, everyone go back to cultivate. You have a competition tomorrow. I’ll keep an eye on Yuhao.” Wang Yan smiled at everyone, then plopped down outside the gate.

Di Qianqiu and the other women exchanged glances. Although they were still somewhat worried, based on their understanding of Huo Yuhao, they felt that he wouldn't do anything without certainty. So, they walked back to their rooms, looking back every few steps.

Inside the quiet room, Huo Yuhao listened intently for a moment, making sure that everyone except Wang Yan had left, before looking up at the ceiling. It was an air conditioning vent.

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and muttered to himself, "Luckily, my body was modified by the Life Gold, otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to crawl out of such a small air passage. Heh! This is perfect alibi!"

Then, Huo Yuhao kicked off with both legs and hung upside down on the roof like a spider. In no time, he opened the cover of the ventilation duct, slithered inside like a snake, and then closed the cover again, finally making the quiet room quiet.

Following the route he had already scouted, Huo Yuhao easily sneaked out of the hotel and then activated his simulation skill to quickly move out of the city.

Arriving at the place agreed upon with Du Busi, Huo Yuhao found the secret mark that Du Busi had deliberately left behind. With a grin, he chose a direction and began to move swiftly using the Ghost Shadow Step.

Fifty kilometers away from Xingluo City, in a secret mountain passage, the sound of footsteps echoed closely. Old Ma, with a solemn expression, moved swiftly and calmly toward the Sun Moon Empire.

However, just as he rounded the bend, his footing faltered, and his eyes instantly sharpened.

"Who is your Excellency?"

In the darkness ahead, a tall figure in a long gray-black robe stood straight in the dim light of the whale oil lamp, as if he had been waiting for a long time!
The figure in the gray-black robe slightly raised his head, but the huge hood still deeply concealed his face in darkness, making his features completely invisible. Only a cold and hoarse voice drifted out: "This mountain is mine, though there are no trees planted here. If you want to pass through, leave your toll."

Old Ma's face twitched. "What the hell do you mean, 'this mountain is yours to build'?! This is clearly a secret passage dug by our Mingde Hall! Where did this guy come from?!"

Old Ma's eyes flickered uncertainly, and for a moment the scene fell silent.

Despite his eight-ring Soul Douluo cultivation, he couldn't detect any fluctuations in the black-clad man's aura. This meant that the man either possessed a unique cultivation technique or martial soul, making him exceptionally adept at concealing his presence; or he was at least a Title Douluo-level powerhouse!
Considering that the other party was able to silently block his way and was all alone, the latter scenario is more likely!
Could it be that there's a traitor on the Empire's side who leaked the news?
No! That's not right! There's more than one way to return to the Sun Moon Empire from Star Luo City, and I randomly changed routes several times along the way without sending any messages to anyone!

After all, what they were bringing back this time was of great importance. With Old Ma's experience, he naturally knew that the more people who knew about it, the greater the risk of leaks. It was better for him to travel alone, be flexible and adaptable, and rely on his Soul Douluo cultivation and the combat power of his Soul Guidance Device, which would be much safer.

If this person isn't a spy, then it means they've been following me all the way from Xingluo City without me even noticing!

Old Ma suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and said in a deep voice, "With your cultivation level, you wouldn't need to hide your identity, would you? Speak, which side are you on? The Star Luo Royal Family? Shrek Academy? Or Heavenly Soul and Fighting Spirit?"

As the protagonist, it's not unreasonable for him to rob someone along the way, right?
