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

Chapter 412 Mirror Red Dust Grits Its Teeth
No longer considering these matters, Lin Jiayi directly told Huo Yuhao to go down and stay with the people from Mingdetang.

He has returned safely without any accidents, so it's easy to explain to Shrek.

The most urgent task at present is to deal with the attack on Mingdetang.

After the thieves left, Lin Jiayi went to Mingde Hall to check on the situation immediately.

The loss was so great that even the dean of students felt his heart pounding wildly, especially the disappearance of that thing. He didn't know what to do and could only wait for Jing Hongchen to return and handle it.

He had already sent an urgent message to Jing Hongchen through special means. After so much time, Jing Hongchen should be back soon.

Sure enough, after a while, a streak of light flashed across the sky and stopped above the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Lin Jiayi was startled and quickly bowed respectfully: "Master, you're finally back!"

Jing Hongchen and Lin Jiayi stood in the underground base, looking at the mess in front of them. Jing Hongchen almost gritted his teeth to pieces.

Looking around, the entire underground base looked like land that had just been turned over before planting, a complete mess everywhere.

Of those expensive laboratory tables, only a tenth remain intact; many are so badly damaged that even if they could be repaired, it would cost a fortune.

The surrounding facilities were also peeling and chipped, and the underground base was completely riddled with holes.

What depressed Jing Hongchen the most was that the underground base had become unstable due to the shockwaves from the previous high-intensity battle, and collapse was not out of the question.

Fortunately, Lin Jiayi had already dispatched people to reinforce the underground base, so they could only stabilize the situation for the time being.

Since its founding, Mingdetang has never suffered such a heavy blow.

Leaving aside the casualties, the losses to the hardware facilities alone are astronomical.

Mingde Hall doesn't belong to him alone; it's the entire Sun Moon Empire's research base for soul-guided devices!

Moreover, he was also responsible for creating high-end soul tools. Even with his status in the Sun Moon Empire, he was still responsible for such a major accident. He had to bear enormous pressure from the royal family.

"What about casualties?" Jing Hongchen asked grimly.

Lin Jiayi replied in a low voice: "There are quite a few injured, but not many seriously injured. Only a few Soul Masters who happened to be at the location of the explosion died."

"Because we sent out a lot of people to find Huo Yuhao, there were too few people left in Mingde Hall. Seeing that the enemy was strong and numerous, they all chose to hold their ground. It seems that the enemy's main purpose was to plunder resources and cause destruction, so they did not deliberately kill our people."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen's expression finally softened a bit.

The Sun Moon Empire is rich in resources, but high-level Soul Masters are still scarce. These Soul Masters are the treasures of the Sun Moon Empire. If they do not suffer any major casualties, the pressure on Jing Hongchen will be greatly reduced.

What's the situation with those raiders?

Lin Jiayi said in a deep voice, "Among those who raided Mingde Hall, there were several Title Douluo, and the others were at least Soul Saints, and there were also quite a few Soul Douluo-level experts. Their individual strength was extremely powerful. One of them, who was suspected to be a Super Douluo, held off Elder Lin, while the others wreaked havoc and looted inside." Lin Jiayi paused slightly, "Experts of this level are definitely not something that ordinary forces can produce."

Jing Hongchen's expression shifted between light and shadow as he said, "You mean that powerful Super Douluo outside seems a bit like an evil soul master?"

Lin Jiayi nodded: "That's right, his cultivation is extremely terrifying, at least a Super Douluo. He was wearing a black robe, so I couldn't see his face, but I could feel a slight sinister aura about him, very similar to those guys."

"His purpose seems to be merely to distract us and hold back some of our Soul Masters. His Soul Power attack alone has put considerable pressure on our personnel controlling the joint defense Soul Guidance Devices, leaving us with no manpower to support Mingde Hall."

Jing Hongchen said in a gloomy tone, "I just asked Elder Lin, and the intruder he fought should be a Super Douluo. He is very powerful and did not use any soul tools or reveal his martial soul from beginning to end. He only relied on his own strength to fight."

"Including the other intruders, according to our Soul Masters who stayed behind, although a few of them had a somewhat sinister aura, most of them were fighting on their own and were quite powerful. This situation is very similar to that sect."

A glint flashed in Lin Jiayi's eyes: "You mean, the Body Sect?"

Jing Hongchen gritted his teeth and said, "That's right! Besides the Body Sect, what other force could possibly have so many powerful experts and Super Douluo?"

Lin Jiayi said, "If it's the Body Sect, then those guys who are suspected of being evil soul masters."

Jing Hongchen fell silent for a moment; this was precisely what he couldn't understand.

Is the Body Sect colluding with evil spirit masters?
That seems unlikely! Based on their understanding of the Body Sect, these guys, although they are both righteous and evil and act arrogantly, are extremely hostile to evil soul masters and will kill them if they encounter them. How could they join forces with evil soul masters to launch a sneak attack on Mingde Hall?

Finally, Jing Hongchen gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, the Body Sect is definitely involved!"

"The Star Luo Empire secretly issued a bounty of 100 million to cause us trouble. The Body Sect is unaware that the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo has already been stolen by someone else, and they act without any scruples."

"The people who invaded Mingde Hall this time did not aim to kill, but rather to search and destroy. Part of the reason is probably to find that 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo!"

Upon hearing Jing Hongchen's analysis, Lin Jiayi suddenly understood.

The allure of a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo is undeniable; it's quite possible that it really is!
Jing Hongchen's eyes turned red: "Damn the Star Luo Empire! Damn the Body Sect! And those damned evil soul masters! I'll remember this debt!"

Seeing Jing Hongchen trembling slightly with anger, Lin Jiayi was reluctant to tell him the bad news that was about to happen.

Seeing Lin Jiayi's hesitant expression, Jing Hongchen's heart skipped a beat, and she asked, "What? Did those guys steal a lot of the Mingde Hall's reserves?"

Lin Jiayi lowered his head, seemingly unable to look at Jing Hongchen: "The situation at the warehouse is alright. Although some rare metals and low-level soul tools were stolen from some warehouses, perhaps due to insufficient time, they were unable to break through the defenses of the most important warehouse doors. The stored high-level soul tools and fixed-position soul-guided shells are all still there."

Hearing this, Jing Hongchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although the loss of rare metals and low-level soul tools was not small, at least the most important high-level soul tools were still there.

These are all strategic assets; if they are lost, his responsibility would be enormous.
