Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline

So who will ultimately bear the blame?

Zhao Tieshan broke out in a cold sweat.

The Spirit Hall would want him to take the blame, which aligns with the needs of the Star Luo faction.

If the high-level officials on both sides agree, wouldn't he, a mere Soul Saint, be arbitrarily convicted?

So when Su Ming said that the Martial Soul Main Hall would lend a hand, he was actually telling him that he, as the city lord, had to lend a hand, and a lot of it!

The murderer must be found and the truth revealed, otherwise he will become a pawn abandoned by both sides.

Chapter 104 Su Ming's Plan

Zhao Tieshan's expression kept changing.

Su Ming didn't give him a definite answer, but he did tell him a guess that made him uneasy.

At this moment, the way he looked at the eleven-year-old boy was different.

"Senior, the Martial Soul Main Hall will have people fully cooperating, won't they?" Su Ming said with a smile.

He emphasized this point again.

Zhao Tieshan no longer dared to underestimate Su Ming. At this moment, he pondered carefully and discerned even more meaning from Su Ming's repeated words.

Those from the Martial Soul Main Hall shouldn't even think about slacking off!

Yes, the elders of the Spirit Hall are coming as envoys, who wouldn't want to show off?

This is for cooperation, not for any other reason. We're in a hurry, so we'll definitely travel light and won't bring any extra people.

So who will replace Miles?

Who will take over the collaboration with the Forging Association?

Zhao Tieshan felt much better instantly.

He took his leave.

Now he needs to mobilize the city guards and then go to the Martial Soul Main Hall to explain the situation.

While the members of the Forging Masters Association were discussing, Tang Hao was getting a little impatient waiting downstairs at the association building.

He gripped the spirit metal in his arms tightly, and his breathing began to become somewhat disordered.

It can be seen that the piece of spiritual metal in his hand has begun to deform, no longer possessing abundant spirituality. The spirituality in the area where he holds it has been extinguished, and even a deep red power is spreading and corroding the entire piece of metal.

"Miles is dead. Shouldn't the Spirit Hall be searching the Blacksmith Association? And what are the people from the City Lord's Mansion doing?"

Tang Hao felt anxious and uneasy.

His idea was simple: to create chaos with Miles' death, giving him an opportunity to either get rid of Chenxin and enter the association building to search for spirit metals, or for the people in the association to scatter and for him to seize the person who had mastered the spirit forging technique.

However, the people from the Spirit Hall have not yet made any move against the Blacksmith Association.

How can you be so cowardly?

Not only the Martial Soul Main Hall, but the Blacksmith Association also reacted much more calmly than he had expected, managing to remain stable for so long.

"Is it Chen Xin who gave you that confidence?"

Tang Hao was very troubled by Chen Xin's presence in the Forging Masters Association. This guardian Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School did not stay in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but instead came to Gengxin City in the territory of the Star Luo Empire.

"Many disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School make up the Blacksmith Association. Could this new spirit forging technique be related to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

"No, it must be that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School discovered it earlier. They definitely don't have the technology, otherwise they wouldn't have come all the way here to learn."

"From another perspective, they definitely know better who has mastered this technology!"

Tang Hao's logic was sound, but after thinking for a while, he began to feel agitated. For some reason, he felt that when he was in Gengxin City, especially in front of the Blacksmith Association, the killing intent within him couldn't help but surge out, and it seemed that even his Killing God Domain was out of control.

"No action has been taken for half a day. Let's grab someone and ask them what's going on."

After Zhao Tieshan left, everyone else in the room fell silent.

Chen Xin gave Su Ming a deep look.

He had a feeling that Su Ming hadn't told the truth.

"This kid probably has other information and has confirmed that the person who came from Wuhun City this time is a Title Douluo."

Chen Xin still preferred to believe that Su Ming was certain of this, and thus took advantage of the situation to force Zhao Tieshan to help find the hidden Title Douluo, rather than believing that Su Ming had racked his brains to come up with those excuses just now in order to trick Zhao Tieshan into helping.

Can Su Ming be sure?

Of course he could, and he could even confirm who would be coming this time—Kiku and Oni.

The key to his ability to make this judgment was that he and Yue Guan shared the same information—Qian Renxue had infiltrated the Tiandou Empire and become Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

The Heavenly Dou faction is now roughly equivalent to the Douluo Palace, so if the Spirit Hall is to send someone, it will definitely be from the Pope's lineage, and the Pope's lineage can only field two capable individuals, Chrysanthemum and Ghost.

As for why it couldn't be a Contra or an envoy of a lower rank, it's naturally because it's important.

If Bibi Dong takes it seriously enough, the people she sends will definitely be influential.

If Su Ming remembered correctly, the two pieces that Miles bought at the auction were both top-grade, thousand-refined blood essence iron, which was a rare metal that was not uncommon. Of the twelve spirit metals at the auction, five were blood essence iron and seven were sunken silver.

Miles auctioned off two pieces, both of which were Blood Essence Iron. He sent a message to the Spirit Hall that they would definitely send out at least one piece of Thousand-Refined Blood Essence Iron.

Rare metals will have their original special effects enhanced after being forged a thousand times. The special effect of Thousand-Forged Blood Essence Iron is very direct, which can temporarily increase the body's strength.

As someone with twin martial souls, Bibi Dong couldn't possibly be unaware of the significance of physical strength to her.

The effect of refining blood essence iron on physical strength is not significant, but it definitely does increase it.

Of course, when absorbing a soul ring, there is no way to spend extra energy to resonate with the Thousand Refined Blood Essence Iron, but what if it is the Spirit Refined Blood Essence Iron that is directly integrated into the body?

Bibi Dong was unaware of the existence of spirit forging, but the fact that the resonance of the Thousand-Refined Blood Essence Iron could enhance physical strength did not prevent her from wanting Blood Essence Iron forged with higher-level techniques. She thought that since the Forging Masters Association dared to expose what they had now, they might have even more secret techniques up their sleeves.

Therefore, she will send her capable subordinates to investigate thoroughly.

Can Spirit Forging be exposed?

Not yet.

But melting and forging is possible.

The amplification effect of fusion forging is still limited, but it can still be integrated into the Soul Master's body and is compatible with the properties of other rare metals.

This was the extent to which he had originally planned to expose himself.

The forging technique is worthy of the Spirit Hall's attention. With their support, the association's future development will be much easier.

Su Ming's plan to expose the fusion forging process was divided into two steps. First, he would expose the ability of the fused forged spirit alloy to be integrated into the soul master's body, but he would not expose the formula of the spirit alloy made of blood essence iron, so as to obtain support from the Spirit Hall under the guise of development.

The Spirit Hall is full of talented people and has a huge influence. With its support, more talents can be attracted to the forging industry, and the expansion of the Forging Masters Association can be further promoted.

"The Star Luo Empire has shown its true colors. If the Spirit Hall people show up, they'll be the ones to blame, even if they weren't the ones who did it. This way, the association can occupy the moral high ground when cooperating."

Of course, Su Ming still hadn't forgotten the possibility that the Spirit Hall had orchestrated this whole thing.

To be honest, Miles is not a good person. He has many conflicts with the former Blacksmith Association and holds the position of Platinum Bishop, but his cultivation level is only that of a Soul Emperor.

It looks like a pawn that can be discarded at any time.

That's why Su Ming still hasn't let go of this suspicion.

Noticing that Su Ming was still deep in thought, Zhu Jiuyang asked, "Xiao Ming, do you have any more questions?"

“Teacher, if it really was done by the Star Luo Royal Family, then they are far too decisive, and,” Su Ming paused for a moment, then continued, “this is too offensive.”

Chapter 105 What a courage!

Tang Hao's gaze locked onto the Forging Masters Association building, searching for a target to strike. Just then, Zhao Tieshan emerged from the building.

"Zhao Tieshan".

After getting far enough away from the Blacksmith Association, Tang Hao appeared in front of Zhao Tieshan, releasing his soul power and confining it to a certain range so that only Zhao Tieshan could sense it.

Zhao Tieshan's expression changed drastically.

He looked at the person in front of him, dressed in a tattered black robe, and seemed to recognize the person's identity from his disheveled and decadent face.

"It's you!"

"Tang Hao!"

Zhao Tieshan spoke through gritted teeth, enunciating each word clearly.

The moment he recognized Tang Hao, a lot of details instantly came to mind.

Miles wasn't killed by some Title Douluo sent by the Star Luo Royal Family, but by Tang Hao!

He is still alive.

The youngest titled Douluo on the continent would reappear in such a manner, and even in Gengxin City, killing Miles without warning.

Who can guess who the murderer is?

Zhao Tieshan was terrified, and sweat began to bead on his forehead. He had no idea what Tang Hao wanted to do by showing up.

Good news: The murderer has been found.

Bad news: The killer suddenly appeared.

How to do?

Zhao Tieshan could only think of cooperating with Tang Hao first, seeing what his purpose was, and going along with Tang Hao.

Tang Hao put one hand on Zhao Tieshan's shoulder and walked with him into a small alley.

"Enough with the nonsense, I just want to know some information about the Blacksmiths' Association."

"Your Majesty, please feel free to ask anything you wish to know, but I must state in advance that although the Blacksmith Association has been reformed for over a year, I know nothing about its core secrets."

"Tell me what you know."

"The Blacksmiths Association is undergoing reforms. All certified blacksmiths are being recertified. Blacksmiths certified by the Blacksmiths Association will be uniformly called Blacksmiths, and the title of Master Blacksmith has been abolished." Zhao Tieshan knew that he was now at the mercy of others, so he honestly said, "I only learned about the reason for their reforms four days ago when I bought some spirit metal at the auction."

"Spirit Forging Technique?"

"Spirit forging?" Zhao Tieshan hesitated and said, "It seems to be the spirit-enhancing technique, not the spirit forging you mentioned. Spirit forging is the standard for a level 5 blacksmith, and it seems to be only in the theoretical stage at present?"

Tang Hao frowned.

Only in the theoretical stage?

He took out a piece of spiritual metal and asked, "What level is this piece of spiritual metal?"

Zhao Tieshan looked at the metal, whose spiritual energy had been corroded in an area the size of a palm, and replied, "It possesses spirituality after being forged a thousand times."

Thousand forgings?

Tang Hao was puzzled again.

Is the technology for this kind of spiritual metal only at the level of a thousand forgings?

What is the relationship between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blacksmith Association?

"They were the first collaborators of the Blacksmith Association, and many of their disciples have joined the association, with Sword Douluo also overseeing it."

Tang Hao asked a few more questions, but received only irrelevant answers, so he waved his hand with a grim expression.

"Get lost, I don't want you to come across my information being leaked."

Zhao Tieshan was as if he had been granted a pardon.

He scrambled away, filled with fear.

The reason he was still terrified was because a shocking idea popped into his mind.

report!

They must be severely punished.

Damn it, Tang Hao killed Miles. If his identity as the murderer isn't exposed, then I, the city lord, will be in trouble.

This is even more outrageous than the murderer being from the Star Luo royal family; he will be wronged by both sides and despised by both.

However, as he ran, it got dark.

He lost consciousness.

"Just get some sleep."
