Douluo Continent: The Bloodline of the Elf King, Heavenly Archer

Chapter 54 Arresting Jing Hongchen!

The night sky shrouded the Starry Great Forest.

Jing Hongchen, with her grandson Xiao Hongchen, circled around the edge of the forest for a long time before landing on the ground to prepare to set up camp and rest.

"Grandpa, why did we come here alone? Why didn't you let Meng come along?"

Xiao Hongchen had a bellyful of questions.

He was inexplicably taken away by Xiao Hongchen and traveled thousands of miles to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Even if he wanted to obtain his fifth spirit ring, was it really necessary for him to come all the way here?

Jing Hongchen adjusted his glasses, a glint of wisdom flashing in his eyes.

"Laugh, you don't know what kind of person Shen Chong is. He was vague in his secret letter, only asking us to provide him with supplies, but not mentioning support."

"What does that mean? He's staking out the area! There must be some treasure he's eyeing nearby!"

"We've come here to seize the treasure, and there's a certain probability it's related to a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo!"

Jing Hongchen, through meticulous logical deduction, concluded that Shen Chong harbored a great secret!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen exclaimed excitedly, "You mean... I... I might obtain a 100,000-year soul ring?!"

"Bang----!

'

Jing Hongchen smacked him on the head hard.

"What are you thinking? Aren't you afraid of bursting?"

"Besides the soul ring, a 100,000-year-old soul beast also has a soul bone! When I get involved, I'll at least get a 100,000-year-old soul bone. I'll entangle it, and you can absorb it directly."

Jing Hongchen laughed smugly.

Xiao Hongchen rubbed his head, a look of anticipation on his face.

A soul bone that's been around for 100,000 years—the dream of countless soul masters!

He's even more motivated to set up the tent now!

Jing Hongchen continued, "The area he provided is the outer perimeter, which is not dangerous. You can practice here, and I will go deeper tomorrow."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly sensed a faint sense of danger.

"Run!!!"

"Mirror of the Mortal World!!!"

An impatient voice suddenly rang out.

Jing Hongchen instantly recognized that it was Shen Chong's voice!

Without hesitation, he picked up Xiao Hongchen and flew away into the distance.

Just a hundred meters ahead, a powerful black figure appeared.

Emperor Tian!

He fled in another direction, only to be stopped by a burly man as big as a bear.

Mr. Xiong!

Neither of the two ferocious beasts was something he could contend with!

What's more, he also has a burden on him!

Jing Hongchen gritted his teeth and, seeing that the two ferocious beasts did not immediately attack, headed in another direction.

The beams of light he transformed into surged forward several times, only to return to their original positions.

However, he was blocked by ferocious beasts from all directions, and all of them were extremely powerful, making it impossible for him to escape!

"—How could this be?"

Jing Hongchen was stunned. Although he was the head of the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire, he was not worth being ambushed by such a lineup.

Now that he was locked onto by these auras, he knew he had no hope of escaping.

At that moment, in the darkness, a giant tree that was slowly moving stretched out a branch toward him.

On a tree branch, two people and a beast were watching the commotion.

One of them was Shen Chong, who had just reminded him!

Jing Hongchen was completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on.

What did he do to attract so many ferocious beasts?

"I wonder what everyone is like—"

Jing Hongchen was about to ask a question.

Shen Chong suddenly interrupted loudly, "Enough! Brother Jing! Things have come to this, what are you still struggling for? The ferocious beasts won't harm us, but only if you surrender!"

"————" Jing Hongchen hesitated for a moment.

Shen Chong continued, "Brother Jing, you're a smart man. You know what to do. Even if you were asked to escape with all your might, let alone protect your grandson, you couldn't do it!"

After speaking to Jing Hongchen, he hurriedly said to Di Tian, ​​"Lord Di Tian, ​​please leave Brother Jing's matter to me. He's stubborn, so I'll talk to him. Otherwise, he might clash with you."

'

'

Di Tian glanced at him indifferently, without replying.

Jing Hongchen looked around and sighed.

He was completely baffled, utterly bewildered as to why he had encountered such a bizarre event.

Now, all we can do is "surrender".

"I want to know what you really want—"

Shen Chong shouted, "Brother Jing! Are you really not afraid of death?!"

."

Jing Hongchen was startled and eventually put away the soul tools surrounding him.

Xiao Hongchen, standing beside him, was even more dumbfounded.

What merit or ability did he possess to be allowed to witness so many ferocious beasts at once?

Jing Hongchen finally gave in; all her soul tools were taken away, and her soul power was sealed, leaving her with the same fate as Shen Chong.

He was extremely frustrated. He thought he could get a good deal from Shen Chong, but he ended up losing both his wife and his army!

Now they can't even guarantee their own lives.

The grandfather and grandson were settled in Shen Chong's wooden house.

The guardian remains the scorpion tiger.

They lack soul power and cannot escape the core area.

Shen Chong entered the room and placed some wine and food on the table.

"Shen Chong! What on earth is going on?!"

Jing Hongchen grabbed Shen Chong's collar and asked angrily.

Shen Chong patted Jing Hongchen's hand. "Let go! Let go! Brother Jing, do you know what situation we're in? Why are we still fighting amongst ourselves?"

-

Jing Hongchen angrily pushed him away, "If you hadn't deliberately set me up, how could I have ended up like this?"

He realized he had definitely been tricked by Shen Chong!

Shen Chong, however, looked aggrieved and dejected, saying resentfully, "Brother Jing, you've wronged an innocent man! If I truly meant it, why would I have told you to run for your life back then?!"

'

"7

Jing Hongchen thought about it and agreed, staring at Shen Chong.

Shen Chong had already prepared his speech in his mind, and he spoke fluently as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Let me tell you about the current situation. The ferocious beasts want to seize our Sun Moon Empire's soul tool technology! That's why they planned the kidnapping!"

"I know you are the head of Mingde Hall and cannot compromise, so I—I am willing to sacrifice myself for you!"

"Tomorrow, all you need to do is keep your mouth shut and stay in this house. Let me handle all the blame! I'll be the traitor!"

Shen Chong's eyes instantly reddened, and he let out a heavy sigh, as if releasing all the pent-up emotions he had been holding in.

""

Jing Hongchen frowned slightly; he still couldn't figure out what the problem was.

But instinctively, I felt something was off about Shen Chong. Did the two of them really have such a deep friendship?

Shouldn't they be mortal enemies?

However, he would definitely not teach the knowledge of soul tools to the ferocious beasts!

Seeing this, Shen Chong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's alright, my disciple is safe!

On the other side, Di Tian was explaining the training matters to Liu Feng.

"Your future development will primarily focus on becoming a Soul Master. I and the other ferocious beasts can teach you, but it's best if you also understand Soul Tools—that will depend on them."

Di Tian spoke earnestly, originally believing that soul tools were merely ingenious and frivolous techniques.

But now I don't see it that way anymore. It's better to have a grasp of the basics than to have only a superficial understanding.

Liu Feng nodded and smiled, "I'm also very interested in soul tools, and I'll study them diligently!"

-

Although the highest level of soul tools during the Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect era was only at the Limit Douluo level.

But some of his whimsical ideas might produce interesting chemical reactions.

"Well, after you've consolidated your meditation technique, about a month later, you can take the Snow Lotus and reach the Soul Master level. In the meantime, you should first learn combat techniques from Xiong Jun. He may seem clumsy, but he actually has some insights."

Emperor Tian gave earnest instructions.
