Douluo: Xiu Xuanjun seven chapters, become the compassionate medicine king!

Chapter 6 Secret Meeting
Lu Chun did not come here on purpose. His original intention was just to hitchhike into Douling City, but he did not expect that he could eliminate someone along the way.

What he didn't expect was that the place where he would end up would be such a place.

The auction house gave him a vague background to increase his value, installed a soul guide device to limit his soul power, and put him in an iron cage specially made for strong soul masters to prevent him from escaping.

But this was obviously unnecessary preparation. Now that he had found such a good shortcut, Lu Chun didn't want to escape, not to mention that these restrictions could not limit him at all.

He was in a very happy mood at the moment, but he still put on a pitiful expression on his face. He huddled in the corner and watched the drama quietly to see who would get this "caged bird" in the end.

"You all are important figures in the empire. This slave from the mysterious elf race from the southern forest should naturally belong to you."

The beautiful host said respectfully, and took the initiative to leave the venue to these big shots.

Following her out were the many eliminated nobles. They left in a hurry as they had come in an orderly manner.

Soon the auction hall was cleared out and given to the dozen or so people.

Strangely enough, although they were in the auction house, Lu Chun had the impression that these people had never quoted a price, which made Lu Chun even more curious about why they gathered here.

But these people just sat quietly in their seats without saying a word. Some had no expression on their faces, some were playing with their pocket watches and rings, and some were looking at Lu Chun with animal desires in their eyes.

Finally, the silent atmosphere was broken, and an old man holding a scepter spoke first: "We are gathered here today to discuss an important matter. This matter concerns the future of the entire Douling Empire, and it is worth spending a long time discussing it."

"Haha, so long? Grand Duke, do you know that time is money, and money once spent can never be recovered." Armand, the Minister of Finance, smiled as he fiddled with his pocket watch.

The two looked at each other, and tension gradually spread.

"Enough. For you, the fact that you are gathered here is nothing more than your respective interests being damaged. Why bother pulling on a fig leaf to cover it up?" An old woman with a sense of oppression stood up, and her sharp eyes fell on the two people like sharp knives.

Feeling the murderous intent that was not concealed at all, the two men shut their mouths and bowed slightly to show their respect.

"Okay, okay, since we can gather here, we can talk properly and don't quarrel because of some grudges." A young man walked out of the shadows under the light. He clapped his hands with a smile on his face. Shadows emerged from the darkness, carrying delicious food and fine wine to the crowd.

Everyone present had a cold expression on their faces and refused to touch the delicacies. This made the young man who came to warm up the atmosphere look stiff, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. His shadow dissipated and the delicacies fell all over the floor.

Lu Chun in the iron cage felt a pity when he saw this scene. You know, he hasn't eaten since his resurrection. Although the monster's body makes him not feel hungry, his original human instinctive desires will still play a role.

But in comparison, he was more curious about how the plot would develop next. Seeing such a group of villain-like people gathering secretly here, as the only audience member he was very curious about what shocking secrets they would reveal.

"Power and authority are a kind of poison, just like you, just like me." It was still the old woman. She looked at everyone present and said coldly: "The poison has penetrated into the bone marrow. It can't be put down or removed. This feeling makes people uncomfortable."

"You came here just for this cup of poison."

"Hey, wait a minute, we are gathering here so blatantly, aren't we afraid of being found afterward?" said the young man leaning against the wall.

Hearing this, the old woman was silent for a while and then sneered: "Do you care?" Looking around at the silent people, the old woman showed a mocking smile: "I think you are very clear about the pleasure of drinking poison, right?"

His eyes flickered, and Helaer said in a deep voice: "In the past six months, four villages in my territory have disappeared."

Armand stared at his pocket watch and said calmly, "The tax collected by the treasury this year is one-third less, and some departments have been paralyzed."

Then another person covered in dark purple armor spoke in a muffled voice: "In the past year, the Xingluo Empire has repeatedly invaded the border, and a large number of soldiers and civilians have been abducted. This has never happened in previous years."

"The disease is terminal." The old woman closed her eyes and sighed. Her soul power overflowed uncontrollably. Black wings spread out behind her and eight soul rings emerged!
Everyone's expression changed, and they quickly shouted, "Princess!"

The old woman came back to her senses, retracted her martial spirit, and cast a stern gaze on each of them, saying coldly: "Now that we have come to this, what is your choice?"

Feeling the chill from the old woman, everyone had no doubt that if they dared to refuse now, they would be turned into a headless corpse in the next moment.

Besides, do they really want to refuse? Thinking of the various blows to their own interests during this period, those who were still hesitant became firm.

Seeing that no one objected, the old woman nodded and said, "In that case, two and one third, when all rivers flow into the sea and flowers bloom in the sun, we will gather together again."

Lu Chun's eyes twitched in the iron cage, and he was almost shouting that the Riddler was not allowed here.

Everyone nodded and left without saying a word. The door on one side opened and the beautiful host walked in. She was not surprised to see the mess on the ground. She said with a smile, "Thank you all for visiting us. We will send you some gifts later, including this big gift."

As she spoke, she pointed at the weak Lu Chun in the iron cage.

It was her mention that made everyone remember that there was another spectator here. His presence would not affect anything, but the best way was to prevent future troubles.

The old woman glanced at Lu Chun indifferently. Although in her opinion Lu Chun was also a kind of beauty who brought disaster, she was not interested in that kind of thing.

Turning around, he said leisurely, "Kill him."

"Wait, 240,000 gold soul coins, right? I want them." Helar suddenly said, looking at Lu Chun without any concealment, the meaning was self-evident.

He was a typical aristocrat, he had that kind of interest.

The old woman, who had already stepped halfway out of the door, paused, turned back slightly and said coldly: "It's up to you, but if anything goes wrong, you will be responsible."

"Haha, I'm responsible, I'm responsible." Helar answered eagerly, and no one knew what he meant.

Looking at the pretty person shivering in the iron cage, he couldn't help but open the cage, wanting to grab the person and push him out, but in the end he showed his gentlemanly manners and found a piece of clothes to help him out of the iron cage.
