Douluo Continent: We agreed on a simulation, but they've come to life?

rainy night.

The rain was pouring down, and the streets were deserted.

As Lu Cheng was inside, researching and designing his level ten natal soul tool, the communication soul tool on his wrist vibrated slightly. He was startled at first, then answered the call. An urgent voice came from the other end: "Xiao Cheng, something has happened in the capital. The prince seems to have launched a coup. He has somehow bribed Xu Jiangliu, the commander of the Royal Soul Tool Corps. The latter did not lead troops to intercept him. His soldiers were just transferred back from the front lines and have gone straight into the palace. Moreover... this time, it seems that some members of the Holy Spirit Cult are involved."

"You absolutely must not go out. Just stay in Mingde Hall. Even if the entire Mingdu is blown up, it will have nothing to do with you."

Jing Hongchen said reassuringly, "Don't worry, after this incident, the new emperor will surely not do anything to us in order to appease him. I will still be the head of Mingde Hall, and so will you..."

"Don't worry, senior brother, I know what I'm doing."

Lu Cheng said with a smile.

His tone was relaxed.

He's not stupid. Why would he drag himself into this sensitive situation? His priority is to break through to level 95 Super Douluo and become a level 10 Soul Master, only then will he be qualified to make plans behind the scenes.

He'd already experienced how messed up this world was once; a bunch of old geezers, each one more sinister than the last.

He hung up the communicator and let out a long sigh of relief.

Looking at the sheets of paper on the table, a pale gold pen twirled between her slender fingers. She could vaguely make out a suit of armor on it, but it didn't seem heavy at all; instead, it was rather light, with a neural operating system and a metal shell.

Strictly speaking, this is a battle armor.

Similar to Huo Gua's Ice Extreme God Crystal Armor, he planned to use it as his level 10 soul tool, which would be his future natal soul tool.

However, he underestimated its difficulty.

In this life, he did not possess the ultimate ice attribute martial soul, but only the Seraphim martial soul. Therefore, he could not use the Ice Extreme God Crystal to skip the forging step, and finding a suitable metal became a problem.

Of course, there's also the neural operating system.

He did find Xuan Ziwen, but in the original story it took several years to complete, it was by no means something that could be done overnight. Now he and Xuan Ziwen have taken on this project together, picking up what Jing Hongchen and others had discarded and reworking it. They have made some progress, but there is still a long way to go before they can produce a finished product.

"This is difficult..."

Lu Cheng frowned slightly and rubbed his fingers together.

"Drip..."

Suddenly, a piercing sound rang out. Lu Cheng was startled at first, then his pupils shrank abruptly. Vast and terrifying spiritual power surged outwards like a sea.

Lu Cheng kept his eyes closed.

A huge, crimson eye slowly opened above Mingde Hall, looking down below.

There was no trace of the two of them.

We expanded the search area further, but still found nothing.

Most of the members of Mingde Hall were awakened by the terrifying spiritual power that was almost tangible, and then looked at the core area with astonishment and shock.

Such incredible mental strength.

They are probably all at least Title Douluo level or higher.

And the Blood Eye Martial Soul can only be possessed by one person.

It goes without saying who it is.

"wrong!"

Lu Cheng's expression was rather unpleasant.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen's defensive soul tools had clearly left the Mingdu area and were moving rapidly out of the city.

This timing... seems suspicious.

Because of the major event, Jing Hongchen is most likely not at home at the moment, so the defenses at home are severely lacking, which has given some people an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

"Damn it."

Lu Cheng gritted his teeth.

Without a second thought, a pair of fiery red wings suddenly unfurled from behind, and like a cannonball, it burst through the roof and transformed into a fiery red meteor, flying straight out of the city.

It's clearly a setup targeting him.

But he had no choice but to go.

Whether it's a simulated mission or the real bond we've built over the years, nothing can separate us from our two little ones.

Mingdu.

Warning sounds echoed through the sky.

Many civilians looked up in astonishment at the figures clad in gold and red armor moving back and forth in the sky, raising the alert and completely sealing off every corner of Mingdu.

But in the next instant, a crimson figure arrived at the boundary line. Its long wings fluttered, and it looked around with a slight narrowing of its eyes. It had actually taken out the linked defensive soul tool in advance. This emperor who murdered his brother and usurped the throne was really something. After all, this was one of the Mingde Hall's scientific research secrets.

"who!"

As Lu Cheng appeared, a group of Royal Soul Guidance Legion guards approached and surrounded him.

The leader, with a scar extending from his face to his neck, and a sinister look in his eyes, sized up Lu Cheng with some surprise: "May I ask who you are...?"

Lu Cheng remained indifferent and casually tossed him a token: "I want to leave the city."

"So it's Vice Hall Master Lu..." The man's face instantly changed, and he forced a smile, saying, "I'm really sorry, but an assassination attempt has occurred in the capital. Someone is trying to kill the emperor, and the entire Ming capital has been completely sealed off. Please don't make things difficult for me."

Upon hearing that it was Lu Cheng, the other guards of the Royal Soul Master Corps hesitated for a moment, losing their previous sharpness and arrogance.

After all, this person's name is renowned, and it is said that he has recently advanced to the ninth level of Soul Master. He is a very important figure and a rising star in the empire.

Can not afford to offend.

"Master Jing's two precious grandsons are missing, I have to go out and check..."

Lu Cheng exhaled a breath of turbid air, and a crimson longsword slowly condensed in his hand. Without uttering a single word, his aura surged, and he coldly sized up the scarred man in front of him. If the latter had said another word, the sword would probably have already struck him.

"...I have something to report..."

The scarred man gritted his teeth and insisted.

But in the next instant, the sword was already pressed against his neck, and blood began to flow.

"Let them through!!!"

Scarface turned pale and roared.

"Your Excellency Lu, if anything happens, you will bear full responsibility!!"

He glared angrily at Lu Cheng.

"it is good."

Lu Cheng sheathed his sword, his figure transforming into a streak of rainbow light as he sped straight out of the city.

……

royalty.

Inside the dimly lit palace, blood flowed from the cracks in the magnificent gate, which was slowly pushed open. A thick stench of blood filled the air, but a figure in black robes remained calm and continued forward.

The road was littered with corpses, twisted and crooked. Judging from their clothing, they were either palace guards or palace maids. Their faces were filled with fear and bewilderment, and they died without knowing why.

And at the end of the corridor, on the high throne.

A middle-aged man wearing an imperial robe, the edges of which were stained with blood that had not yet congealed, sat proudly on it, looking down at the newcomer with a hint of excitement and trembling in his eyes.

How could I not be excited when the scene I had imagined countless times appeared so realistically before my eyes?

"Brother...in the end, I still won."

The middle-aged man's lips twitched, and he sighed softly to himself.

The last trace of warmth in his eyes was then cut off, replaced by the cruelty and coldness unique to the imperial family.

"Sir, may I ask about my imperial brother's only child..." He looked down at the black-robed man below, a smile playing on his lips, and asked.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, from this day forward you are the master of this empire." The man in black robes lifted his cloak, revealing himself to be Zhongli Wu. He bowed slightly, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.

"As for the former crown prince you mentioned... we discovered a tunnel outside the palace, but it has vanished without a trace. It seems he has already left Mingdu."

"what?"

The emperor frowned slightly, his eyes sharp as he scrutinized Zhongli Wu. After a long while, he silently shook his head. "No, how could he possibly escape Mingdu in such a short time by himself? He must have had someone's help."

"To be able to deceive everyone like this, their skills must be quite impressive..."

"During this period, were there any traces of powerful figures from the empire?"

After a moment's hesitation, the emperor spoke calmly.

"Hmm... According to the Holy Spirit Cult's investigation, the empire is currently peaceful. Even Kong Deming is quietly staying in his residence, and most of the other high-ranking princes and military commanders are also staying obediently in their respective mansions."

Zhongli Wu shook his head.

"Who could it be? He couldn't have just vanished into thin air, could he?" The emperor's eyes grew increasingly hostile. He stood up and paced back and forth. Seizing power was a serious matter that could not be overlooked. If his brother's son was taken away by those remnants, there was a potential danger that could shake his rule in the future.

He won't be satisfied until this problem is cured.

"Report!!!"

A hurried voice came from the other end of the corridor.

Clad in crimson heavy armor, a burly middle-aged man appeared before the emperor in a few flashes. His eyes were solemn as he knelt on one knee. "Your Majesty," he said, "the deputy head of the Mingde Hall, Lu Cheng, insisted on leaving the city. My guards refused, but he forcibly broke through..."

"Lu Cheng?!"

The old emperor narrowed his eyes, rubbing his palms together, his gaze growing increasingly suspicious.

It seems like everything matches up.

With martial law in place throughout Mingdu, only a handful of people could manage to escape with a defenseless child.

It's impossible for Kong Lao. Ye Yulin is his man, and Jing Hongchen is well-versed in the art of survival, hiding in his own lair and refusing to come out.

Lu Cheng's second martial soul is said to be the Blood Eye, which is extremely mysterious and unpredictable, especially in terms of mental shielding and disguise.

He escaped with the prince... that's quite possible.

It wasn't that he was suspicious, but at this critical juncture, the sudden insistence on leaving the city and the claim that Jing Hongchen's two children had been kidnapped seemed too coincidental.
