Douluo: Lin Dong Travels Through Huo Yuhao

Chapter 141 Xiao Hongchen: Lin Dong, you must help me save her!
Xiao Hongchen chuckled: "This is not to show you the world. Ever since we went to Xingluo for the competition, Grandpa has ordered the rectification of the black market. This is a famous underground world."

Lin Dong nodded after hearing this. At that time, many soul guides of the Sun-Moon Empire were indeed resold to other countries. Jing Hongchen said at that time that he would clean up the black market.

Seeing that the three of them did not reply, Xiao Hongchen continued:

"You asked me to arrange it, but the food and clothes are nothing interesting. Only this place is interesting. They are holding a competition recently."

Lin Dong clapped his hands after hearing this: "Since we are here, let's go in and take a look."

Hearing Lin Dong's words, the two girls nodded at the same time and walked towards the competition venue. There were dozens of metal tables placed in the hall, and the light of soul guides flashed from time to time.

There were circles of sapphire blue velvet chairs on the periphery, all filled with people, staring intently at the people in the center, busy at work at the metal tables.

According to conservative estimates, the number of people watching was more than two thousand, and from their clothing one could tell that each of them was either rich or noble.

According to Xiao Hongchen's introduction, those who can watch the game in person are all big bettors, who have bet at least 10,000 gold soul coins.

If ordinary people want to place a bet, they can only choose the peripheral betting points of these underground forces. Of course, Xiao Hongchen, a nobleman of Mingdu, and the other four are exceptions.

The four of them took a quick look and it seemed that the basic rules of the competition were to create a soul guide within the specified time and use it to compete to determine the final winner.

Although Lin Dong and the other two were not in a very high mood, the auspicious beast was obviously very interested in this and asked many questions beside them.

Lin Dong originally came to accompany her out for a stroll, but the task of solving the problem was left to Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.

After the four of them walked around the hall, a special waiter came to greet them, looked at them, bowed, and introduced:
"Four distinguished guests, this small competition is led by Master Jing Hongchen. The leaders of the three major forces will come to meet in person later. I will take you to the room, where the view is better and more hidden."

Lin Dong was about to refuse, but the auspicious beast suddenly tugged at the corner of his clothes and pursed its lips:
"Since you're here, why not take a look around? I haven't seen these things before."

Seeing her acting like a spoiled child, Lin Dong looked a little embarrassed. This auspicious beast was indeed a female...

He sighed helplessly, "Alright, let go, let's go. When it comes time to hunt soul beasts, you have to make sure you don't be lazy."

After hearing this, the auspicious beast nodded repeatedly: "Okay! At worst, I can just eat a few less soul beasts then."

When Lin Dong heard her words, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. The identity of this imperial auspicious beast was very useful, and the ten thousand year soul beast was just her food.

Meng Hongchen looked at this scene, blinked his eyes, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: So this is useful?

Xiao Hongchen stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes: "What are you dreaming about? You look so absent-minded."

Meng Hongchen came back to his senses, his cheeks slightly red, and he said unhappily, "What does this have to do with you?"

Xiao Hongchen had long been accustomed to this, and looked at Lin Dong nonchalantly and said with a smile:

"I didn't expect that I could use this trick against a guy like you?"

Lin Dong glanced at him calmly: "What do you think?"

Seeing the coldness in Lin Dong's eyes, Xiao Hongchen smiled bitterly:
"Oh, I know. You think the auspicious beast has just transformed into a human, so you treat him as a child."

Lin Dong nodded without comment: "Okay, let's see which big shots will come today."

Several people came to a circular room with a soul guide screen projecting the scene on the competition stage.

On the screen, a tall and handsome middle-aged man walked onto the stage. He was wearing a gorgeous red dress, his blond hair was combed meticulously, and his peach blossom eyes seemed to be full of electric light. A slightly magnetic voice sounded:

"Today is the final of the Mingdu Soul Mentor Competition. In order to demonstrate the professionalism and fairness of this competition, please invite the three presidents of the organizers of this competition - Pingfan League, Aodu Chamber of Commerce, and Xishui League to come on stage and give speeches."

Under the stage, in the rest area of ​​Xishui League.

Nangong Wan, who was in charge of the connection, muttered to himself with a gloomy face: "He doesn't know whether he lives or dies." As he said that, he jumped up and walked towards the stage.

The third elder, Minglei Douluo, sneered in a slightly weak voice:
"This little guy from the Ordinary Alliance is really courting death by playing this ranking trick. Do they really think that the Ordinary Alliance is qualified to be compared with us?"

Lin Dong took a quick glance and saw that the two men seemed to be the elders of the Holy Spirit Church. When the seal was broken that day, the two were present, but the one who came on stage first.

It seemed that he was very afraid of death at that time, hiding behind the person who came on stage later. The person who just came on stage looked that his injuries had not yet healed. The two of them were obviously already in the Titled Douluo realm.

However, the Desolate Force is indeed very difficult to deal with for those who have not even reached the Nirvana Realm. As long as I reach level 50, I may be able to try to awaken the Eye of Desolation...

While Lin Dong was thinking, one person came up from each of the two other sides of the competition stage.

The person coming over from the Aodu Chamber of Commerce was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a purple cloak. He had a dignified appearance and the aura of a superior.

It is hard to imagine that such a well-dressed man controls an underground force of countless thieves and killers. Instead, he looks like an official. He walks with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, with a gleam in his eyes.

Lin Dong vaguely sensed that this person’s cultivation was at least above the eighth ring. He deliberately suppressed his aura, but he was still some distance away from becoming a Titled Douluo.

Compared to the head of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, the one who came to power from the Pingfan League was even more eye-catching.

The representative of the Ordinary Alliance was a woman who looked extremely beautiful from a distance. She had long chestnut hair tied up high in a bun. When she walked, her body swayed with every step, and her posture was enchanting, but her face was full of holiness, and she was quite pretty.

Xiao Hongchen patiently explained to the others:

“The middle-aged man in the purple cloak is An Litong, the president of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce. Behind him is the military of the Sun-Moon Empire.

On the other side, the woman with a charming figure and a holy face, whose age could not be determined, was the leader of the Ordinary Alliance, Shangguan Weier, who controlled all the entertainment industry and most of the catering industry in Mingdu.

I heard from my grandfather that this woman is very powerful. I don't know how many strong men have fallen at her feet. Although she looks so charming and attractive, in fact, as early as forty years ago, she was already the leader of the Ordinary Alliance.

No one knows her real age. Her cultivation is even higher than that of An Litong, the president of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce. She is probably at the Titled Douluo level. Behind her are the nobles of Mingdu. On the Xishui League side, the leader is Nangong Wan. On the surface, they represent the imperial family. It is because of this that the Xishui League can become bigger in front of the other two.

However, the two families represented extremely powerful classes, and even the royal family could not completely swallow them up. Although they vaguely knew that there were evil soul masters behind the Xishui League, they were not afraid of the interest groups they represented.

Grandpa's reorganization this time is to use the evil soul masters to suppress these two forces. Of course, in order to make them check and balance each other, Grandpa can't let Xishui League dominate alone. Those guys will not be welcomed wherever they go. "

After Lin Dong heard the name of this force, Xishui League, that evil soul master, it seemed that his name was Ye Xishui. The name was really... hard to describe.

As he was thinking, the auspicious beast couldn't help but shook its head:

"What a complicated thing. Xiao Hongchen, you are amazing. You actually know so much information."

Xiao Hongchen was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that when he was with Lin Dong, someone would actually praise him instead of Lin Dong. He puffed out his chest proudly and touched his nose pretending to be calm:
"Grandpa told me everything. I was just a messenger. He wanted to tell Lin Dong, but this guy was a crazy cultivator, so Grandpa could only tell me reluctantly."

At this point, Xiao Hongchen glanced tentatively at Lin Dong. The latter noticed his gaze and shrugged:

"Do I look like I need praise?"

Meng Hongchen chuckled: "Laugh, do you think Lin Dong hasn't been praised enough? Look at your cautious look, you are not ordinary..."

Xiao Hongchen blushed and his voice suddenly became louder:

"What are you talking about! I'm just giving him some face, okay? You two, forget it, I won't say anything. The auspicious beasts are still the best, they don't have any bad intentions."

Lin Dong glanced at him and said, "Keep introducing yourself. Have you forgotten the information because of the compliments?"

Xiao Hongchen glared at him, coughed lightly, looked at the auspicious beast, and his tone returned to normal:

“On the surface, the three major underground forces have joined forces to hold competitions to make money from a large number of tourists, but in fact, my grandfather said that this is an important moment for the three major underground forces to reshuffle.

The Xishui League wants to further control the underground forces, while the Aodu Chamber of Commerce and the Pingfan League have the momentum to join forces to fight against the Xishui League. "

After hearing this, Lin Dong couldn't help but wonder, "The Xishui League is backed by the Holy Spirit Church. I wonder how the leaders of the other two major forces, one Soul Douluo and one Titled Douluo, can fight against the Holy Spirit Church?"

Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but feel puzzled after hearing this: "How did you know about the Holy Spirit Church? Forget it, it should be Grandpa who told you. Grandpa told me that the black market needs to be rectified, but it will definitely be difficult to eradicate.

He also couldn't allow Xishui League to monopolize power. Anyway, it would involve those court struggles, which would be very troublesome and have nothing to do with us."

Looking at the auspicious beast's curious eyes, Xiao Hongchen coughed lightly and explained again:

"Actually, it's still related to our last competition. Not only are soul guides lost, but the loss of rare metals is also quite terrifying. Grandpa said that if Mingde Hall is to be rebuilt, rare metals are indispensable, so the black market must be rectified.

But with such a big pie, the power structure in the court is so complicated that even the emperor, let alone my grandfather, cannot completely control it, so they just let the two of them fight each other."

The auspicious beast nodded as if it understood something, and exclaimed with its mouth wide open:
"Human emotions are so complicated. In the Star Dou Great Forest, there are not so many twists and turns. As long as you are strong enough, you can devour each other. Hehe, but I didn't encounter any danger. Those ten thousand year soul beasts just ran away when they saw me."

The auspicious beast's slightly heroic face coupled with its silly smile creates a somewhat cute contrast.

While the few people were talking, the three major forces below the stage had already begun to release their chips. The Xishui Alliance said that it was determined to win the championship, and added a soul bone as a prize to the original reward of an eighth-level soul guide and a large amount of rare metals.

In order to motivate the players, the Odu Chamber of Commerce threw out 10 million gold soul coins and bet on the representative of its own faction.

The beautiful leader of the Ordinary Alliance, Shangguan Weier, chuckled and walked forward:

"You two are full of confidence! I can't fall behind, right? We have many beauties in the Ordinary Alliance. If our soul master wins the final championship.

He will be able to choose from tens of thousands of beauties in my Ordinary Alliance, and I can also let a dragon girl with ancient blood be his slave."

Looking at the three people's puzzled eyes, Xiao Hongchen explained again:
“Dragon girls are a special kind of creature that is half human and half beast. They are all in the form of extremely beautiful women, but their bodies are covered with scales, and only their faces are the same as those of humans.

Once a human being combines with a dragon girl, he or she will be able to absorb the essence of dragon blood in her body, thereby completely changing his or her physical constitution and promoting the evolution of his or her martial soul on the original basis, and it will inevitably be a benign evolution.

However, these dragon girls are extremely rare and can only be found in deep mountains and swamps. Moreover, they are all cursed with doom, and the first person to capture them will almost certainly die."

"This ordinary alliance leader is really willing to spend a lot of money. It seems that they are worried that their power will be greatly weakened, so they are making such a big bet."

As expected, after the voice of the Ordinary Alliance fell, everyone present showed a greedy look in their eyes. It was obvious that the so-called Dragon Girl had a fatal attraction to every soul guide.

After hearing this, the two girls present couldn't help but look ugly:
"These people are too cruel. The expressions of many people in the audience are really disgusting."

Lin Dong spoke calmly, "Although we don't really need this method, it is indeed a way for soul masters to improve. It has nothing to do with us anyway, and we have no power to interfere with the fate of others."

Xiao Hongchen and the other two nodded in agreement. They were well aware of the principle of the survival of the fittest. Under Lin Dong's influence, they understood even more clearly that all they could control was to protect themselves and the people they wanted to protect.

The auspicious beast had just begun to develop intelligence and had been pampered in the Star Dou Great Forest, so she did not quite understand what was said, but when she looked at Lin Dong, there were only two words in her mind: obey.

While the three were talking, the competition off the stage had already progressed to the battle stage, and the soul engineer representing the Xishui League won the victory almost by a crushing force.

The representative of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce was livid, but there was nothing they could do. The combat power of the evil soul master was too strong among those of the same level, and their representative player almost died on the field.

What puzzled Lin Dong and the other three was that the female representative of the Ordinary Alliance had a very calm expression and looked as if she had everything planned out.

After both players came on stage, the confidence in her eyes became even stronger. Lin Dong glanced at the competition stage indifferently, and the next second, Xiao Hongchen pinched his shoulder hard:

"Lin Dong, you must help me save this person!"
