From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 44 It's all the moon's fault! [Please read on! Please vote!]

Ning Lu's convoy was quite luxurious, consisting of ten brand-new Soul-Powered trucks linked together to form a steel convoy. Seven of them carried highly acclaimed Soul-Guiding Device jewelry with calming and concentration features produced by the Technology Chamber of Commerce in recent years, as well as Soul-Powered machine tools, Soul-Powered textile machines, and other Soul-Powered production equipment. Two trucks carried a total of twenty Soul Master employees averaging level forty, and the remaining truck contained Ning Lu and her son, who were mixed in with the convoy.

After twelve years of wandering, this was Ning Lu's first time returning to her parents' home. Naturally, she wanted to show off her triumphant return and not be looked down upon by the people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Meanwhile, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Ning Lu hired two Soul Master mercenary groups as security forces to prevent money from tempting people.

Sword City is located in the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom, which borders the Barak Kingdom to the east. Soto City is located to the east of the Barak Kingdom, and Sword City is located to the west of the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom. The two major cities are relatively close to each other. However, due to the influence of the Sword Mountain Range between them, Ning Lu's caravan needs to go around the plains near the Sword Mountain Range and cannot cross it directly like the Soul Master team. It is estimated that it will take a day and a night to reach their destination.

"Mom, you said you ruined your parents' martial soul mutation experiment, making their generations of hard work go down the drain. Won't they be very angry?"

Sitting in the Soul-Moving Truck, Chen Hong looked out the window at the land gradually losing its light and asked his mother, who was quietly cultivating her soul power with her eyes closed, with some curiosity.

Ning Lu opened her eyes, rolled her eyes at Chen Hong, and pouted, "What martial soul mutation experiment? You're talking nonsense. Do you believe I'll beat you up? Don't think that just because you're at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School you can rest easy. If I want to, I'll beat you up whenever I want, and even your grandma can't stop me."

Chen Hong fell silent for a moment upon hearing this. Judging from Ning Lu's words, it seemed that his maternal grandfather, Ning Ji, and the others knew of his existence? And were quite curious about him?

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Ninglu is still the parents' daughter. What parent wouldn't miss their child?

"Mom, do you think the two elders might see that the main character is ruined and start a new one?" Chen Hong was silent for a moment, then asked weakly.

Ning Lu glared at Chen Hong impatiently and said with dissatisfaction, "Focus on your cultivation! You're just hoping to get a beating, aren't you? If you don't improve your soul power, this account of yours will be useless. I'll just create a new account and abandon you."

"Playing an alt account?" Chen Hong's eyes lit up, and he began to wish, "Then I want a little sister. Little brother? Forget about it!"

Ning Lu: "???"

"Hong'er, come here, come to your mother's side, and your mother will give you a red blessing." Ning Lu looked at Chen Hong with a kind expression.

"Hey!" Chen Hong quickly sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate diligently. His earnest and serious demeanor didn't seem like an act at all.

As the sun set and the moon and stars faded, a group of taciturn men in black robes sat quietly around a campfire on a high, dense forest in the Sword Mountain Range. Suddenly, a flock of startled crows took flight from the distant forest, causing the leader of the black-robed men to instinctively look up.

"The prey has entered the enclosure." A cold, bloodthirsty voice came from the black-robed leader.

"Bring the tongue over; I need to confirm it again."

The black-robed leader waved to the people around him, and immediately someone carried up a middle-aged man whose hands and feet were bound, whose face was filled with fear, and who was still wearing the uniform of a low-level field agent of the Spirit Hall. He was then thrown next to the fire, and the leaping sparks almost hit his face.

Bang!

"Zhang Zhong, are you sure that kid named Chen Hong has a soul tool that can clear a person's mind?"

The black-robed leader stomped on Zhang Zhong, a low-level Spirit Hall Soul Master, forcing him to look directly into his bloodshot eyes.

Zhang Zhong subconsciously met the black-robed leader's blood-red eyes for a moment, and instantly felt a chilling cold rush straight to the top of his head. He felt as if he had fallen into a dark ice cave, where countless dead souls and vengeful spirits seemed to be screaming wildly in his ears!

"Ah! No! No!" Zhang Zhong was terrified by the strange sights before his eyes. His body began to tremble uncontrollably as he struggled desperately, but the black-robed leader pinned him down and made him unable to move.

He could only wail repeatedly at the black-robed leader, "Spare me! Please, sir, spare me! Everything I said is true! That youngest son of the Technology Chamber of Commerce truly possesses a soul tool and soul skill capable of instantly reviving a person's mind! This is clearly recorded in the Soto City Martial Soul Main Hall's database!"

If any Soul Masters from Soto City were here, they would surely recognize that this low-level Spirit Hall Soul Master named Zhang Zhong was a field Soul Master from the Soto City Spirit Hall.

"Be clear-headed and rational," the black-robed leader murmured softly, a hint of confusion flashing in his scarlet eyes. The next moment, a violent rage flashed through his eyes.

Bang!

The head of the Soto City Martial Soul Master on the field was crushed like a watermelon in an instant! Countless watermelon juices splashed in all directions, and when they landed in the fire, the orange flames, doused with the red and white mixture, instantly rose into a magnificent orange-red flame! Under the bright moonlight, it was exceptionally beautiful!

"Kill him," the black-robed leader murmured softly.

"Kill him!" the eerie black-robed figures around them shouted in unison.

"Kill him! Hahaha!" the black-robed leader said in a violent and resolute tone.

"Kill him! Let him join our ranks!" All the men in black robes laughed eerily. Through the bright moonlight, one could vaguely see an extremely similar face hidden beneath their black cloaks!

The bonfire, burning with crimson flames, revealed an eerie beauty in the snow-white moonlight.

On the other side, with the Soul Masters taking turns replenishing their Soul Power, the convoy sped along the main road in the night.

Chen Hong, who never clashed with anyone, was unaware that he had been targeted by an evil entity.

Having emerged from his cultivation state, Chen Hong calmed the circulation of his soul power and slowly opened his black eyes, which held a hint of hesitation.

He seemed to have a premonition that a strange malice was approaching.

"Why do I have this premonition?" Chen Hong subconsciously touched the [Sage's Ring] on his forehead, adjusting the Sage's Ring's Sage level to the lowest.

As the effects of the Sage's Ring wore off, various different voices seemed to begin to appear in Chen Hong's mind, particularly noticeable in the quiet, deserted night.

In Chen Hong's mind, those sounds were given colors by his imagination: some were pure gold, some were slightly whitish gray, and some were black.

And, the end of the mental space is slowly approaching.

A strange crimson!

I went out to play yesterday, and I'll catch up on the schedule today.
