Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 224 Long-term Strategy
In order to avoid spending too much time on controlling the soul guide during battle, Lin Xiao's soul guide cannon is equipped with parts made of star soul ingots to accommodate the residual soul.

When fighting with Xue Di before, many arrays of floating cannons were destroyed by her. Seeing that the room was about to collapse, Lin Xiao did not have time to recover them one by one. He did not expect that they would be dug out by the people of Mingde Hall so quickly.

His eyes flickered slightly, but Lin Xiao didn't make any further moves.

He is no longer the same as before. Even Jing Hongchen may not be able to stop him if he uses all his strength. Even if Mingdetang knows the origin of these alloys, there is no need to worry too much like before.

In fact, it might be a good thing for him that this thing was discovered by Mingdetang.

After Jing Hongchen took the wreckage from the soul engineer's hand, his attention was immediately drawn to the thing in his hand, and even his anger at the attack on Mingde Hall was alleviated a little.

"What is this?"

Even though he was a ninth-level soul engineer and the knowledgeable leader of Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen was unable to recognize what the metal inside was at first.

The soul guide wearing the humanoid soul guide shook his head and said, "I've never seen this before."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen took the remains of the soul guide in his hand and examined it carefully for a moment. Looking at the destroyed soul guide arrays, he actually felt a sense of familiarity in them. It seemed that the soul guide was made using the techniques of Mingdetang.

Jing Hongchen suddenly raised his head and looked around, then retracted his gaze to look at the soul guide beside him, "Where did you find it?"

"That's where Plan One is stored."

Jing Hongchen paused, and suddenly turned to look at Lin Jiayi. However, before he could speak, another guard in royal armor passed through the crowd and approached Jing Hongchen.

"Master of Hongchen Hall."

"What's going on?" Jing Hongchen straightened his face. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell what was going on here. Perhaps the royal family had also received the news and wanted to inquire about the details.

However, the guard did not speak, but instead came forward and whispered a few words to Jing Hongchen.

"what?"

Jing Hongchen's face suddenly changed. Although his voice was not loud, the people around him could still hear his surprised tone clearly.

Jing Hongchen also knew that there were many people here, so he calmed down instantly and looked at Lin Jiayi. "Jiayi, I have something to do in the palace. Please take care of things here for me first."

As he spoke, he looked around again and said, "Since Plan Number One hasn't been leaked, the people here shouldn't try to stop us. Even if we lose some soul guides, it won't hurt Mingde Hall at all."

"But be careful not to let outsiders in. As for the reconstruction, I will discuss it after I return from the palace."

"Yes, Hall Master."

"Yes." Jing Hongchen nodded and raised his voice to the others, "From today onwards, all affairs of Mingde Hall will be suspended. The students in the hall will take a break. All other teachers and students in the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy will continue as usual."

"Before I come back, everything here will be arranged by Director Lin."

Jing Hongchen's voice spread far away with the fluctuation of soul power. Then, without any delay, he hurriedly left with the guard from the palace.

When Jing Hongchen's figure completely disappeared, the eyes of the other teachers around fell on Lin Jiayi.

Lin Jiayi cleared his throat and stepped forward. "As you can see, Mingde Hall has been attacked by an unknown force. We are currently unable to continue studying and researching."

"Teachers and students in the hall can now leave in an orderly manner. In addition, there are some dangerous soul guides stored in the hall, and their status is currently unknown. Other students should not approach this place for the time being to avoid accidental injury."

"Alright, students, you can disperse now. Please keep an eye on the academy's announcements for other matters." Lin Jiayi did mention some dangerous soul tools, but to say that he couldn't confirm their condition would be lying. If they were truly unstable, they wouldn't be stored in the Mingde Hall.

However, Lin Jiayi's words at least managed to deter some curious students.

Seeing that the students stranded here gradually dispersed, Lin Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Lin Xiao.

"You should go back and rest first." Lin Jiayi paused and said, "By the way, the Lord of Heaven may come to see you in a few days."

Lin Jiayi also noticed what Jing Hongchen and the soul engineer had just said. Although he didn't know the specific situation, it was Lin Xiao who left there in the end. He had obviously guessed that the wreckage was related to Lin Xiao.

"I understand, teacher."

Lin Xiao nodded, narrowed his eyes, and thought about the Star Soul Ingot.

In the past, he was not strong enough. Even if he could smelt Star Soul Ingots and had the experience and ideas to make alloys, he had no way to promote this thing.

But now, he has enough power that he no longer needs to hide it, but can use it to exchange for other things.

After all, this kind of thing is not actually an exclusive secret. As long as you have such an idea, with Mingdetang's technology and manpower, you will always get various alloys through large-scale attempts.

Recovering his thoughts, Lin Xiao nodded to Lin Jiayi, "Teacher, I'll go back first."

From the morning when the Benti Sect attacked Mingde Hall, to the later fight with Xue Di, until Jing Hongchen returned to the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, a lot of time had passed and the sun in the sky had already tilted.

Lin Xiao grinned slightly as he walked back to the dormitory.

When fighting with Xue Di, the wounds on his body were quickly frozen by the extreme cold as soon as they appeared, and Lin Xiao did not feel much pain.

But at this time, the ice and snow on his body had all melted, and blood began to seep out of the wounds again. He then realized that in addition to the long wound on his back, he had many other injuries on other parts of his body.

Fortunately, the gold of life in his body helped him recover a lot from his injuries, otherwise his whole body would have been covered in blood by now.

Sure enough, fighting against the 700,000-year-old Snow Emperor is not an easy task.

He lowered his head slightly and glanced at his palm. The soul of Xue Di was already in the red spider lily, but the other residual souls, no matter how powerful, were just rootless duckweed and did not require Lin Xiao to expend extra energy.

But Xue Di is still alive, and her soul needs to be suppressed by mental power at all times. He always needs to rest, and this is not a long-term solution.

With a thought, a shadow appeared beside Lin Xiao.

"You've sealed the Snow Queen before. Can you find a way to create a soul guide to seal her soul?"

"Xuedi, when?"

The soul of Fengshen was slightly stunned by what Lin Xiao said. He himself didn't know that he had done such a thing.

"Have you forgotten the soul beast that you sealed in the Conferred God Platform?"

"Is that the Snow Emperor?"
