Chapter 198 Tens of Thousands of Fixed-Type Soul Guide Shells

The world is complex.

The same is true of the human heart.

There are noble saints and despicable villains.

As ninth-level soul masters, there are geniuses like Ye Yulin who have backbone, and there are also guys who are greedy for money and afraid of death.

A courtyard near the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

There are few people around, and this courtyard is hidden in a deep alley. The aboveground part of the courtyard looks like an ordinary house, just like the surrounding area.

"Your Highness!"

An enthusiastic voice sounded.

It was a tall, thin figure, with an old face that forced out a flattering smile. He approached a black-haired boy and enthusiastically led the way, "This way, this way."

"Ah."

An Zhen walked slowly, looking leisurely, with a faint smile in his dark eyes, "It would be great if everyone was as sensible as you, Old Xu."

As he spoke, the young man glanced at Ye Yulin, who was following him like a bodyguard. Ye Yulin was driven by the master-servant contract.

"How can a mere frog in a well know how wise and brave your Highness is?" Xu Guozhong flattered him.

An Zhen continued to walk forward, recalling information about this person in his mind.

Xu Guozhong.

Although his personality is very inconsistent with this name.

He is a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and a relative of Cai Tou. He betrayed the emperor of the previous dynasty in the palace coup many years ago and was one of the traitors at that time. As a result, he was rewarded with many natural treasures and successfully became a Titled Douluo, entering the ranks of the ninth-level soul mentors.

Greedy for money.

Focus on personal interests.

Unlike Zhang Feng, Wang Ming, and Ye Yulin, after being forced to sign the master-slave contract, they did not feel the slightest resistance to the dead power of the undead. After receiving the feedback from the master-slave contract, a flattering smile instantly appeared on their faces, and they directly put themselves into a new identity.

A typical fence-sitter.

However, from a certain perspective, it can be considered as taking sides.

Now he is deeply favored by the Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire, and even Xu Tianran is trying hard to win him over.

Currently responsible for guarding this underground warehouse.

A ninth-level soul engineer is looking at a warehouse.

Anything else would be a waste of talent.

But if it's this...

An Zhen's eyes fell on the ordinary-looking small bungalow in front of her.

The things in here are enough to drive every emperor crazy.

Although his character was not loyal, Xu Guozhong was quite capable to have the power and status he had today. When An Zhen asked to take a look at the treasure house he was guarding, he had already arrived and dismissed the other guards.

Xu Guozhong didn't know much about An Zhen. But he knew that the other party, relying on the master-servant contract, not only knew what he was thinking, but also could kill him at any time. Therefore, he must not let others notice this prince and expose his whereabouts.

'Wealth is valuable, but life is more valuable.'

Looking at the passage door disguised as a large cabinet in front of him, Xu Guozhong sighed.

When coming to the treasure house, everyone can think of what to do.

Even the prince is not qualified to use the things here. Only the emperor's order can do so. He knows everything in here very well. He can make a fortune by secretly taking a little bit of it on a daily basis.

He is greedy for money.

But I am more afraid of death.

Treasures can only be enjoyed while you are alive.

Xu Guozhong took out several keys and manipulated them skillfully. The next moment, a narrow passage with metallic walls appeared in front of An Zhen.

"Your Highness, please." Xu Guozhong stood aside like a lackey.

"Ah."

Under the leadership of Xu Guozhong, the person with the highest management authority, the journey was smooth.

level one.

At least tens of thousands of tons of rare metals are stored in a space of tens of thousands square meters.

Second floor.

It was much smaller than the first floor, but the value of the items was many times higher. Thirty-two kinds of rare metals were placed there, which could be counted in tons. Each of them was extremely precious. Many of them were the raw materials for level nine soul guides. Even some of them, even the palm-sized metals, were priceless. It was definitely the paradise that all soul guides dreamed of.

"Your Highness," Xu Guozhong said, "The false emperor occasionally sends people here to fetch some rare metals for the Consecration Hall to be used in the development and research of high-level soul guides. If you need them, for safety reasons, you should leave some of each here as much as possible."

Under the constraints of the master-servant contract, Xu Guozhong did not dare to have the slightest intention of deceiving. He was completely concerned about An Zhen, and if the other party was exposed, if the other party had the intention of fighting to the death, or used him to attract attention, then his life would be in danger.

An Zhen shook her head gently. "No need to care about the other person."

He is about to overthrow the other party, does he still need to care about these?

However, his target today is not these rare metals.

"Go to the next floor." An Zhen ordered.

"Yes." Xu Guozhong walked to the end of the room, took out the key and began to open the next floor.

As the three of them walked down a flight of stairs, a huge steel jungle appeared in front of everyone. It was more than ten times larger than the first floor. Soul guide cannons, soul guide ray guns, milk bottles, and various strategic-level soul guide materials appeared here. According to Xu Guozhong's explanation, these things could easily be used to fully arm four soul guide corps.

"The heritage of the Sun-Moon Empire." An Zhen sighed.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. The Sun Moon Empire's treasure house is not just this one, and the accumulation over the years is more than just this. The Imperial Palace and the Worship Hall where Kong Deming, known as the father of soul guides, sits, are the real places where the heritage is stored.

Although there was a coup d'état many years ago, it did not cause serious damage to the country.

An Zhen's gaze quickly shifted away from these strategic materials and fell on some cylinders. Those things had one side as a cylinder and the other side as a cone, lying there quietly. However, An Zhen, who had a strong mental strength, felt a great threat from these dead objects.

Fixed-type soul-guided artillery shells.

Although the highest is only level seven.

But the lowest of these is only level five.

There are so many of them, there are at least tens of thousands of them.

Tens of thousands of shells.

"The sun and the moon will be dark, and it will be the day of destruction." An Zhen murmured softly, saying something that puzzled Xu Guozhong.

This place is very close to Mingde Hall’s underground warehouse.

In the original novel, Huo Gua caused the explosion of these shells, hoping to destroy the things that could not be taken away and the nearby Mingde Hall. However, the noise of these explosions triggered the sixteen level nine fixed-type soul guide shells stored in the warehouse under Mingde Hall.

This disaster directly affected one-third of Mingdu.

You have to know that the capitals of the other three empires combined are less than half of Mingdu. With taller buildings and a higher population density, it is at least equivalent to razing the two capitals of the three empires to the ground.

"What a tragedy." An really didn't want such a tragedy to happen. He was never merciful to his enemies, but the civilians of the Sun Moon Empire had never committed such a great sin. He was once an unarmed man.

Speaking of which, the placement of these shells is also a bit problematic, but from a certain perspective, it's not a big problem. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is close to the suburbs, so it's naturally the same here. There is also a ninth-level soul master guarding it, as well as its own materials and various mechanisms. Even if a ninth-level fixed soul guide shell explodes on the ground, it can't affect the bottom. All kinds of preparations can be considered foolproof. Even if a few Super Douluo teams can't get in for a while, this period of time is enough for the Mingdu strongmen to react. But who would have thought that with Huo Gua, that kind of thing that is impossible according to common sense.

The fourth soul skill, erosion.

The virtual world arrives and touches reality.

In a trance, it seemed as if two identical worlds overlapped and superimposed on each other.

Under the control of An Zhen's mental power, the box containing the fixed-type soul guide shells and the space around it were swallowed into the "stomach" of the virtual world.

It would be better for him to put away these dangerous goods.

If these things need to be used in the future, these fixed-type soul guide shells can be directly handed over to the ninth-level soul guides who lead the troops to attack, and they will distribute these things.

After a while, a space suddenly became empty in the huge warehouse.

Xu Guozhong's face was full of confusion.

There isn't even a single level eight soul-guided shell among these fixed-type soul-guided artillery shells. What does Your Highness want to do with these things?
Forget it, as long as we don’t blow him up, everything will be fine.

"Let's go." An Zhen looked at Xu Guozhong and said calmly, "It's time to visit the next ninth-level soul mentor."

"Hehe." Xu Guozhong showed a gloating smile on his face, "Your Highness, do you have a target? Do you need me to recommend one to you?"

The moment when Xu Guozhong's life fell into An Zhen's hands.

Xu Guozhong no longer had any thoughts of loyalty to the royal family.

By saying this, he not only wanted to drag other level nine soul masters into the water, but also really wanted to help An Zhen. Xu Guozhong sincerely hoped that An Zhen would be fine before canceling this damn master-servant contract. In any case, only when An Zhen's power is stronger, his life will be safer.

and……

Xu Guozhong also had some little thoughts in his mind.

Although this prince did not mention a specific goal, he must have a grand plan to enslave the ninth-level soul masters. If he really accomplished something big, then he, as the guide, would be a great contributor.

"The Worship Hall and the Soul Guide Corps." An Zhen was calculating the remaining ninth-level soul guides in his heart, and said, "The five national protection soul guide corps, among which the Royal Dragon and Royal are stationed outside Mingdu. As the two soul guide corps with the strongest comprehensive strength and the most resources, they must have more than one ninth-level soul guide, right?"

"That's true." Xu Guozhong nodded.

"I suggest you start with the guys in the Royal Dragon Corps," Xu Guozhong suggested. "The Royal Dragon Corps is controlled by the royal family, and even the emperor cannot directly control it. Although I am from the royal family of the previous dynasty, we are a family after all, and we all have the surname Xu."

An Zhen glanced at Xu Guozhong with some surprise.

So positive?

Now he understood why guides were hated by so many people.

However, before "taming" others, this kind of fence-sitter is indeed more convenient to use.
