Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 202 Defending the Challenge
"Idol! Where are you going? One hundred gold soul coins, don't you want them anymore?" Ye Guyi caught up with Wu Xuan and said.

"I'll leave the money with you first. I'm going to have lunch." Wu Xuan waved his hand.

"Let's have lunch! I'm hungry too. Idol, you can go to any hotel you want. I'll treat you. I have plenty of money now."

"No need. In fact, I would rather taste the flavors of my hometown than the delicacies in the hotel." Wu Xuan closed his eyes slightly and went straight to the snack street.

Thick and greasy sauce, braised beef. Wu Xuan really missed the taste of his hometown in his previous life.

"The taste of hometown? Idol, aren't you from the Tianhun Empire? How come you can taste the taste of hometown in Mingdu?" Ye Guyi looked at Wu Xuan's back in surprise, and then quickly followed him.

Xishui League underground headquarters!

With a loud bang, the door of the first-level secret vault was finally smashed by Nangong Wan and his two companions.

The three of them rushed into the secret vault on the first floor without any image. Looking at the emptiness and desolation around them, they were so angry that veins bulged on their foreheads.

Nangong Wan's eyes were bloodshot, and his gaze was like that of a demon from hell. "Damn it, damn it, Lu Chong, you traitorous bastard! How dare you incite the elders of the alliance to rebel and steal all the rare metals in the alliance? Don't let me catch you! If I catch you, I will make sure you wish you were dead!"

"Second brother! Was it really that bastard Lu Chong who did it?" The third elder said with a distorted expression. As a ninth-level soul engineer, he understood firsthand the value of this rare metal.

Lu Chong was the one who was killed by Wu Xuan, the Eight-Ring Soul Douluo and Eighth-Level Soul Instructor of the Soul of Fear.

"Hmph! Who else could it be but him? He went to the treasury to steal rare metals before. Did he think I didn't know? I didn't want to bother with him just for the sake of the five priests behind him, but I knew he was so bold as to team up with other deacons to steal the entire treasury." Nangong Wan said gritting his teeth.

"No one else can unite more than 70% of the strong men in the alliance to rebel in an instant except him. I have long seen that Lu Chong has a rebellious nature." The fourth elder snorted coldly.

A ruthless look flashed across Nangong Wan's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Alright, with such a large amount of rare metals, that bastard Lu Chong won't be able to get far. Let's go to the second floor first to check if the various herbs are damaged. We have collected them at great cost, and they will be our reliance when we advance to higher levels in the future!"

"Second brother is absolutely right!" At this point, the group wasn't so worried anymore. After all, most rare metals are extremely dense and heavy. Even if they had prepared enough storage soul guides and loaded them with all the rare metals, how many would they have? At least several thousand.

It is not easy to take away so many storage soul guides.

However, looking at the shattered second gate, Nangong Wan and the other two, whose hearts had just calmed down, were once again filled with rage. Nangong Wan roared frantically, "Bastard! He must have planned this all along. How on earth did he break through the gate without being discovered?"

The fourth elder quickly rushed into the second floor. The further he went inside, the uglier his expression became. Not a single plant left? All taken away?
Nangong Wan, entering the second floor, was on the verge of exploding. Even if the rare metals could be recovered, could all the herbs be recovered? It was impossible. The magnitude of the losses this time had far exceeded their expectations and could no longer be measured in monetary terms.

"Second brother! This is bad. The third floor door has also been opened." The Fourth Elder's voice came from afar. Nangong Wan felt his vision go dark and almost fainted. The third floor door was also opened? An ominous premonition quickly rose in his heart.

"Fourth Elder! What's missing from the third floor?" Nangong Wan's eyes were bloodshot with rage. "It's gone! Everything is gone! Including the Destruction Storm!" The Fourth Elder said, a little dazed by the series of blows.

"Wow—" Nangong Wan spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning pale. Too cruel, that bastard Lu Chong was too cruel. He actually, actually… even dared to steal a ninth-level fixed-type soul guide cannonball. Didn't he consider that he had the life to take it and the life to use it? Could the Five Priests protect him?

"Go! Everyone, go out and search. All those who defected this time must be brought back to me no matter where they are. Especially that damn bastard Lu Chong. I will make him die in the most painful torture." Nangong Wan, with his mouth full of blood, let out a final helpless roar.

He could never imagine that the entire treasure house was not stolen by an insider, but by two righteous men, Wu Xuan and Ye Guyi.

The ring competition continued, and Wu Xuan crushed his opponents all the way until the fourth day when he officially met an opponent that piqued his interest.

Unbeknownst to Wu Xuan, his trumpet had already become famous in the arena. How could anyone not take notice of someone so young, yet reaching the level of a Level 6 Soul Master? Most importantly, this genius had even used his Level 6 Soul Master abilities to subdue an uncontrollable Level 7 Peak Soul Guidance Device. This was definitely a talent destined for the Mingde Hall.

"Master Mingde, what you are doing is against the rules." The door of the box was kicked open, and a big man with a beard asked angrily.

"So it's Bupo Douluo! I'm sorry, please be patient." Xiao Hongchen's chubby face was full of smiles.

"Don't try that on me. The annual Infinite Defense Competition in the Mingdu Soul Fighting Arena is all about fairness, justice, and openness. You, on the other hand, openly violated the rules. Does Yang Xuan have a grudge against your Hongchen family? Today, you actually arranged for a dozen students who joined the Mingde Hall to fight in a round-robin battle to consume the opponent. The empire is in need of people right now. Such a talent is the pillar of the empire, and you cannot bully him." Invincible Douluo Zheng Zhan was still furious, pointing at Xiao Hongchen's nose and questioning him.

"Bupo Douluo is worrying too much. I did this just to see how strong this young man really is. Can he compete with Shrek's group of chosen ones?" Jing Hongchen shook his head slightly.

"Master Hongchen, what do you mean?" Bupo Douluo calmed down his anger at this time and said calmly.

"If this little guy can overcome the difficulties I set and his background is clean, I want him to join my Mingde Hall." Jing Hongchen finally explained his decision at this moment.

"Join Mingdetang? Don't you Mingdetang always value rules and not accept outsiders who come in late and have unknown origins?" Zheng Zhan asked in surprise.

"Rules are dead, but people are alive. It's time for my Mingdetang to break some old rules." Jing Hongchen said with a smile.

"So that's how it is. Since Hongchen Hall Master has such a plan, let's wait and see." Bupo Douluo laughed and sat down next to Jing Hongchen.

"Brother Zheng! Please!" Jing Hongchen picked up the cup and handed it to the Unbroken Douluo Zheng Zhan.

"please!"
