Chapter 115 Tang Hao's Regret (Please Subscribe!!!)

The day after 'Xue Qinghe' left Gengxin City.

The Blacksmiths' Guild has undergone a major transformation, beginning a headcount and mobilizing nearly half of its forces to Soto City to establish a branch of the guild.

The news spread within hours, and people from all factions quickly learned of it.

Before they could even react, Zhu Jiuyang announced the list.

All the Soul Masters sent by the Star Luo Royal Family and the families and sects that have reached cooperation agreements with the Association in the past few days regarding talent transfer and training are on the list.

In other words, all Soul Masters sent by any force within the Star Luo territory who were preparing to further their studies in the field of blacksmithing would be sent to Soto City at this moment.

This, of course, provoked resistance.

Anyone would like to travel to a foreign land if they wish.

However, the result of the resistance was massive layoffs.

The Blacksmith Association directly laid off 20% of the Star Luo faction's personnel.

Not only that, the conditions given to them were also reduced. Resources that were originally given to everyone were now only given to the remaining 80%, and these remaining 80% did not receive any more resources.

This greatly displeased the major powers within Xingluo, including the royal family, who demanded an explanation from the Blacksmith Association.

Unfortunately, only the representatives within Gengxin City could speak out. In this era of limited information, the forces behind them could not communicate with the association in real time.

Before the forces behind them had received the news, the association urged them to set off. Si Long, Si Yu, and another former master blacksmith led the group to explore the wilderness.

The representatives approached the three individuals, demanding an explanation.

The three leaders of this team are all Soul Saints!

Even if he is not good at fighting, he is still a Soul Saint.

The strongest among all the factions is none other than the Soul Emperor.

This is because after the Spirit Hall reached a cooperation agreement with the Forging Masters Association, at Su Ming's request, the only person sent to serve as the new hall master of the Spirit Hall in Gengxin City was a Soul Emperor.

Because the Spirit Hall's top figure is the Soul Emperor, the Star Luo Royal Family and its subsequent partners did not send anyone of Soul Emperor rank or higher to Gengxin City in order to show their sincerity.

Although Davis was a prince, he was currently powerless and could only try to reason with Si Long.

“We are also a member of the Blacksmiths' Guild. Your current behavior is tantamount to taking us prisoner. Do you want to offend all the forces you cooperate with?”

Si Long simply replied, "According to the agreement with the Star Luo Royal Family, we will do our best to train you and accept you. However, I remember there was a clause in the agreement that the Star Luo Empire must not obstruct the cooperation between the Association and the Heaven Dou Empire."

Davis's face darkened.

Xue Qinghe was ambushed halfway, which was indeed done by the Xingluo royal family. But who could tolerate the arrival of the dignified Crown Prince of Tiandou in Xingluo territory?
The key information was incredibly tempting at the time, as it was circulating everywhere.

"The Heavenly Dou Royal Family is furious. Our association paid a considerable price to appease them in order to continue cooperating with them."

Paying a considerable price?

Davis was about to vomit blood.

How long did Xue Qinghe spend from joining the association to leaving it?

It's just a simple cooperation agreement confirmation process, yet people are begging and pleading to cooperate with us.

Davis knew that Silong was talking nonsense.

However, he could not refute this point.

Si Long's statement reflects the normal situation. Xue Qinghe's decision not to pursue the association's responsibility is unusual and truly shows that the other party is being too 'generous'.

"His Highness Xue Qinghe was very lenient and did not pursue the matter because of the interception. He only suggested that His Highness the First Prince also go to Soto City."

"Of course, Your Highness, please rest assured. His Highness Xue Qinghe has already stated that he will warn all surrounding forces during his return journey, and will not allow any harm to members of the Association." "Moreover, Your Highness is also a member of the Association, and our Association will certainly guarantee Your Highness's safety."

Davis was extremely frustrated.

this.
It was wrong of us to intercept Xue Qinghe first, but the conditions the association agreed to for Xue Qinghe were far too inhumane.

"According to the agreement, all members of the royal family who join the Blacksmiths' Association, including His Highness the Crown Prince, must abide by the association's arrangements unless their lives are in danger."

Silong looked at Davis and added another sentence.

Besides Davis, representatives from other factions were also vying for the position, but they dared not be too assertive, fearing another round of layoffs. In the end, they all received similar answers to Davis.

They also harbored extreme hatred for the Xingluo royal family.

Why would someone with nothing better to do intercept Xue Qinghe?
Si Long is very capable. With Zhu Jiuyang's prior arrangements, he handled everything according to Zhu Jiuyang's wishes.

Gengxin City Forging Association.

"In three days, the Star Luo royal family won't be able to react. They might be able to send someone to question us tomorrow, but by then Davis will have already entered the Heaven Dou territory."

Zhu Jiuyang nodded in satisfaction.

Su Ming told him the plan, and Zhu Jiuyang arranged the rest.

"Currently, only Xiao Ming, Xiao Jin, and I possess the Thousand Refinements with Spiritual Power technique. If the three of us stay, the Heavenly Dou Royal Family will have to obediently send people here instead of Soto City."

The core technology is located in Gengxin City, and even the Heavenly Dou Royal Family has to accept it reluctantly.

Soto City.

Tang Hao, hidden under his cloak, listened to the conversations of passersby on the street, feeling a slight sense of satisfaction.

"They actually went to Soto City to set up a branch. It just so happens that Xiao San will be here in half a year. At that time, we can let Xiao San join the association and learn the Thousand Refinements Spirit."

He both loved and hated the idea of ​​spirit metal.

This thing can help him relieve the pain because he can inject his soul power into it, temporarily circulating it within the spirit metal, and then guiding it back into his body.

Without soul power circulating in his meridians, the pressure in his meridians dropped sharply.

This is also why he neglected his cultivation before Tang San awakened his martial soul.

Having neglected his cultivation, his soul power gradually diminished, greatly reducing the pressure on his meridians, which allowed him to pass those six years peacefully.

"It's a pity, it can only be used as a tool to relieve pain."

Tang Hao also wanted to use the spirit metal to build more soul power cycles, and then transfer part of his cultivation to the spirit metal, so that he could gradually heal the injuries in his body.

Unfortunately, the spirit metal was too fragile, and its internal spirituality was extremely scattered, so it couldn't withstand his soul power for long.

"If only there were a way to harness the spirituality within spirited metals, what a pity."

Soto City.

Xue Qinghe temporarily settled in Soto City. He heard that the Blacksmiths' Association was approaching from not far behind and sent someone to find out what was going on.

He was delighted when he learned that the people who came to participate in the construction of the association's branch were all from Xingluo.

However, he couldn't laugh anymore after he finished laughing.

He searched the list of pioneers for a long time but couldn't find a single level three blacksmith—a blacksmith who had mastered the "Thousand Refinements with Spirit" level.
