Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 117 This is a hideout for evil spirit masters, isn't it?

Titan, who was originally arrogant and disregarded the soul masters of Mingde Hall, released a terrifying aura unique to Titan power, shocking everyone.

His cultivation aura was no longer concealed and suddenly surged, reaching a terrifying level in just a few breaths.

He scoffed, "Soul Masters are made of paper; one hit from a Titan's fist and they'd shatter..."

Suddenly, a blonde girl appeared. She walked up to him with a smile on her face and happily took out a deep black dragon scale.

"How did you get it?!"

Titan sensed the aura belonging exclusively to the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian within it, his pupils dilated instantly, and he was suddenly stunned.

"The Emperor's... Achilles' heel! It's appeared in the human world!"

Titan didn't utter the name Di Tian, ​​but instead looked at the smiling Di Rachel with a mixture of surprise and shock in his eyes.

Back then, the Titan Giant Ape, with only 100,000 years of cultivation, was naturally not qualified to meet Di Tian in person. However, after living in the Star Dou Great Forest for so long, especially after his cultivation broke through 100,000 years, he was able to achieve his goal.

One can often feel the oppressive aura emanating from the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King as he patrols the entire forest.

Therefore, he and his elder brother, the Azure Bull Python, once vaguely knew that in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, there were even more powerful ferocious beasts.

However, ever since Tang San, the Sea God, resurrected them, and they received some divine blessings, Niu Tian and Titan clearly understood that they were no longer on the same level as the likes of Di Tian.

Titan's expression shifted as he recalled his time ten thousand years ago, when he was still a Titan ape in the Mixed Zone.

His attitude was no longer arrogant; his gaze fell on Di Ruiqiu, and he transmitted his voice through his soul power: "Little girl, what is Di Tian to you?"

"He's raised me since I was born, wouldn't you say?"

"Was this dragon scale given to you personally by Di Tian?"

"What else?" DiRachel glanced at Titan, thinking he was a bit stupid.

Could it be that anyone has such great ability to forcibly snatch a dragon scale from Di Tian?

Titan's thinking wasn't as quick as his older brother Niu Tian's; he was a bit slow-witted and was momentarily confused.

His brow twitched. "Don't talk nonsense. How could he possibly give a dragon scale to a human, unless... wait?"

Before he could finish speaking, as if realizing something, his expression suddenly froze.

Titan was no stranger to the transformation of soul beasts, after all, Sister Xiao Wu did just that, and was eventually able to enjoy the blessings of the God Realm. Even the two brothers benefited a little from it.

Moreover, all indications suggest that the lord still values ​​them quite a bit.

The fact that the Sea God arranged for Dong'er to descend to the mortal realm for training and specifically entrusted her to the care of the two brothers shows the Sea God's trust in them. After all, Dong'er is a noble little princess who is cherished by the entire divine realm.

Since the two brothers were fortunate enough to take care of Sister Xiaowu's child, they certainly couldn't let Dong'er suffer any injustice and would not let down the Sea God's trust.

Thinking of this, Titan looked at the short, stout figure leading a team of Soul Masters and said in a deep voice, "Knowing that we are the Clear Sky Sect, you arrest us at the drop of a hat. Is this your way of treating guests?"

Jing Hongchen glanced at Di Ruiqiu first, and was slightly taken aback. Who was this blonde little girl?

He couldn't hear Titan's soul power transmission, but when he saw the golden dragon spear of excellent quality in Di Rachel's arms and the attribute of extreme fire on her body, Jing Hongchen's eyes lit up. Another genius student with amazing talent!

Titan, displeased that Jing Hongchen hadn't responded for a while, sneered and emphasized, "Fine, fine, is this how the Sun Moon Empire treats our Haotian Sect?"

If it weren't for the safety of Dong'er and Xiao Xiao, with his fiery temper, he would have long ago lost his temper and taught the other party a bloody lesson with his fists.

Jing Hongchen always wears the level nine defensive soul tool, Hongchen Protection, on his chest, demonstrating his steadiness.

At this moment, he casually took out a huge metal cannon barrel that was flashing with a strange rainbow light from his storage soul tool. It was a level nine energy-gathering soul tool cannon, and he held it in the crook of his arm.

Although the battle has not yet actually taken place, having already adjusted the configuration in advance is a fine quality of a Soul Master.

Jing Hongchen smiled politely and said, "Haha, I am Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall."

"Having heard of the arrival of the senior from Haotian Sect, I am deeply sorry for not welcoming you properly. I have come here to experience your demeanor."

Titan frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding Soul Master teams, his expression quite displeased.

"Master Mingde, we've come to Mingdu to conduct normal economic and trade activities. What's the meaning of your threats of arrest and such a large-scale operation?"

"Could it be that this is targeting our Haotian Sect?" Titan said with a serious expression, once again bringing up the name of the Haotian Sect.

Jing Hongchen laughed off the threat. If Titan had the absolute strength to crush him, he wouldn't waste time arguing with him.

Both sides have younger generations to protect, so they won't actually fight in the sky unless absolutely necessary.

Moreover, with his strength, if he put on a level nine defensive soul tool in advance, as long as he keeps his distance in the sky, he will still be able to fight Titan.

Jing Hongchen pondered for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Senior of Haotian Sect, after verification, the blacksmith shop owner you are referring to has no record of entering or leaving the country for trade in recent months."

"Moreover, through time comparison, it was found that all the blacksmith shop staff were in Mingdu City when the senior entered the city."

Jing Hongchen explained it to Titan in detail: the blacksmith shop owner had never left the city, so Titan, the owner, was obviously an imposter.

"Senior, did you hear me clearly? You impersonated someone else first. This not only violates the relevant regulations of the Empire, but also poses a great security threat to the capital city of Ming."

"Safety concerns?"

Titan sneered disdainfully, "Master Mingde, if I'm not mistaken, this place..."

"It's probably a hideout for evil spirit masters."

Titan was certain that if he used the banner of eliminating evil spirit masters, it would be perfectly reasonable from any perspective.

He could clearly sense that a large portion of the Soul Masters in this place exuded an unusual aura of evil Soul Masters. Even if he suddenly attacked and killed a few, it would still be considered eliminating evil and promoting good.

Jing Hongchen said calmly, "Senior, this is a trading area with good public security. Anyone can trade in the market as long as they don't cause trouble."

"How can you be so sure that we're not doing this to gradually infiltrate and make it easier to eradicate evil spirit masters and manage them better in the future?"

Jing Hongchen told Titan that the shadow of the Sun Moon Empire could never devour its master. Even if it was to be punished, it had to be done in a certain way and at a certain time.

"If you discover any evil and wicked Soul Masters outside Mingdu City, please feel free to kill them. I will thank you for your contribution to maintaining order."

Titan scoffed, "That sounds nice, but who knows what you're up to behind the scenes."

Jing Hongchen chuckled: "Senior, you should know about Tang San from ten thousand years ago, right? His Devouring attribute is also a mark of an evil soul master."

"Moreover, according to some ancient records, Tang San always believed that those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre. In fact, he often got into conflicts with other academy teams while eating at restaurants, and openly absorbed the life force of his opponents during competitions."

Jing Hongchen gazed at Titan with a leisurely air, and pondered for a moment.

"Senior, according to you, given Tang San's appalling behavior—causing trouble everywhere without any regard for right or wrong—shouldn't we nip him in the bud?"

Titan's expression changed drastically upon hearing this; he dared not speak carelessly about that lord.

Even if what Jing Hongchen said was true, that person still regarded it as a glorious deed and recorded it in a book for future generations to read and learn from.

However, it was absolutely unacceptable to associate the Sea God with evil spirit masters, and he dared not continue arguing on this topic.

Titan originally stood on the moral high ground, aiming to eliminate evil spirit masters, but unexpectedly, Jing Hongchen directly brought up Tang San to shut him up.

He said indignantly, "Red Dust Hall Master, since you are not targeting the Haotian Sect, you don't have the guts to do so. However, we came here with no ill intentions."

"I just brought my younger relatives here so they could eat and have some fun, and experience what a big city is like. Now, not only have they not had a meal, but they're even trying to arrest them. Isn't that going too far?"

Jing Hongchen's face darkened. They wanted to take his precious grandson-in-law away, yet they dared to say they meant no harm?

This is already the greatest malice. If it weren't for the fact that it's not appropriate to antagonize the Haotian Sect now, any small force would have already thrown them in jail and punished them according to the law.

Huo Yuhao was an absolute taboo subject to him, and he would not allow any other force to covet him.

Jing Hongchen's voice was devoid of emotion; he calmly said, "Senior, after the arrest, as long as you clearly state your true intentions and register and report in detail, you will naturally not be made to make things difficult."

Titan waved his hand impatiently: "Alright, Master of the Red Dust Hall, stop thinking about arresting him."

"With your strength, you're not even a Super Douluo, so you're not qualified to talk to me about this."

As he spoke, his expression gradually turned cold, and the oppressive power of the Titan was suddenly released. The group of level eight soul masters led by Jing Hongchen felt as if a mountain had suddenly pressed down on them, making them unable to straighten their backs.

Just then, a burst of silver light appeared in the sky, and a silver-white barrier descended from the heavens.

Another aura of a titled Douluo followed.

In the next instant, layers of silvery moonlight-like, flowing light rippled out of the space, dispersing the Titan's oppressive aura without a trace.

"Your Excellency, perhaps the Red Dust Hall Master alone is not qualified, but what if we add me to the list?"

Not far in the sky, an old man dressed in a silver-white robe slowly flew towards them. His bald head, devoid of any vegetation, signified his power.

"My name is Kong Deming, titled Silver Moon. I have come to learn from the high skills of the Haotian Sect."

Silver light scattered from Kong Deming's hand, revealing a complex, circular soul tool engraved with strange crescent-shaped patterns.

This is an eighth-level soul tool, the Silver Moon Barrier.

The Silver Moon Barrier has a very precise function: it is specifically designed to suppress oppressive force and has an extremely high shielding effect against it.

This is also the main reason why Kong Deming, whose cultivation level is below Super Douluo, was able to easily dispel the Titan's pressure.

In the original work, Kong Deming, as the pillar of the Sun Moon Empire and the leader of all level nine soul masters, fought against the Death God Douluo Ye Xishui with his own strength without being at a disadvantage.

Titan narrowed his eyes, his previous disdain disappearing.

In his perception, although Kong Deming's cultivation level had not reached that of a Super Douluo, the level nine soul tool he was equipped with gave him a strong sense of threat.

Kong Deming smiled and said, "If you wish, you are welcome to fight me."

He glanced at Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao: "However, for the sake of your two juniors and to prevent them from being affected, would you like to come with me to the heavens for a friendly spar?"

Kong Deming pulled out a level nine energy-gathering soul-guided cannon. Its shape resembled the flowing light of a silver moon, and its overall form was a huge metal tube with a unique texture. Several strings of silver-white light gathered at the mouth of the metal cannon, emitting a "sizzling" sound.

Upon seeing Elder Kong arrive, Jing Hongchen immediately relaxed. He tugged at his collar with one hand and solemnly said:

"Senior, do you have any further objections you wish to express to this hall master?"

"If not, we may need to remove you from the territory of the Sun Moon Empire, or arrest you for 'impersonating someone else's identity'."

Jing Hongchen felt much more at ease. With Master Kong present, she was no longer afraid that the other party might suddenly attack and harm the children.

Seeing that Kong Deming was in high spirits and seemed ready to fight in the sky, Titan coldly rebuked him.

"Enough!" Titan frowned, suppressing his emotions. "Gentlemen, there's no need for you to ask us to leave Mingdu. We'll leave on our own."

Jing Hongchen smiled slightly: "Then thank you for your cooperation, senior."

He gave a wink, and a Soul Master in law enforcement uniform came up to him. Five minutes later, he wrote out a penalty notice for Titan.

"Impersonating someone else and disrupting the security of Mingdu City, you are banned from entering Mingdu for five years! — Mingdu Soul Master Inspection Team"

Jing Hongchen used his soul power to carry the penalty notice towards Titan.

"Senior, if you wish to come to our Sun Moon Empire five years from now, you can apply in advance. We will grant you a special status. The Empire will certainly welcome your arrival."

After the matter was resolved, Jing Hongchen felt much better.

Only then did they turn their attention to Di Rachel. This little girl had managed to make Titan's expression change drastically with just an ordinary black dragon scale; her background must be extraordinary.

"Yuhao, who is this girl?" Jing Hongchen asked Huo Yuhao about her identity.

Huo Yuhao organized his thoughts: "Sect Master, her name is Di Ruiqiu. She's a friend I knew before I enrolled. I told my family during this holiday that I'm going to enroll at our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen felt quite pleased and slapped his thigh, exclaiming, "Great! Great!"

He was quite certain that Di Ruiqiu, who could get along well with Huo Yuhao, must be a woman of exceptional talent, surpassing even her granddaughter and perhaps even rivaling her grandson-in-law.

Wait, no, surpassing Meng won't do... He sighed softly, it seems his granddaughter will have to work harder in the future.

Then, Jing Hongchen glanced at Di Ruiqiu's Golden Dragon Spear without leaving a trace, and asked the question that had been puzzling him since earlier.

"I noticed you weren't afraid of that person from the Haotian Sect at all?"

Di Ruiqiu chuckled: "Why would I be afraid of him? My family beats him up like he's their grandson."
