Chapter 594 Dilemma
These dull sounds are very frequent. If someone is paying attention, they can hear that they last for at least a dozen times.
However, although these dull noises are very frequent, they do not have much impact on the people in Mingdu.
Because these dull sounds came from the residences of imperial ministers, the manors of some nobles, or the strongholds of evil forces.
In that vast location, ordinary people don’t even know what is going on inside. They can only judge that there is a problem in these places through the sound.
In the hotel, Jiang Ming listened to these dull voices, and a faint smile appeared on his handsome and sunny face.
The more dull sounds there are, the more he will gain tonight!
Zhang Lexuan next to her heard the noise, walked to the window, opened the curtains, and looked outside the hotel.
The defense forces in Mingdu moved very quickly, especially during the competition. A large number of city defense troops were stationed in Mingdu itself.
Almost as soon as these dull sounds appeared, several city guard squads rushed to the place where these dull sounds came from.
Zhang Lexuan retracted her gaze from outside, closed the curtains, and looked at Jiang Ming.
"How was the harvest?"
Jiang Ming naturally told her about his actions, so he asked Huo Yuhao to pretend to be Jiang Ming to chat with Princess Jiujiu as an alibi. .
Of course, with Jiang Ming's methods, these troops in Mingdu will definitely not be able to find out who did it, but sometimes, it is always good to be more prepared.
When Sister Lexuan asked about the harvest, Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows and said softly: "The harvest is very good. The corruption of these nobles and officials in Mingdu is much more than I imagined."< br>
When Jiang Ming was in Mingdu before, he also did things like robbing the rich and giving to the poor.
But at that time, because he discovered the Holy Spirit Cult, he focused on robbing wealth from the Holy Spirit Cult’s strongholds, and from time to time he would go to some aristocratic manors with a bad reputation to do it.
Now, he is focusing on those ministers and nobles among Mingdu officials who are related to the smuggling of rare metals.
These guys are really rich. After today's wave, Jiang Ming's rare metal reserves have increased a lot.
However, now that rare metals are available, he doesn’t have much time to make soul tools.
Well, if you have the chance, you might as well borrow some tools from the Holy Spirit Sect.
Zhang Lexuan said softly: "When I used Shrek City's caravan to contact these guys in Mingdu, they all said they had no goods and kept raising the price. Now it seems that they are all They are a group of old foxes."
In terms of rare metals, both Shrek Academy itself, the Tang Sect and other forces that invested in it are in great need.
After having huge financial savings, Zhang Lexuan began to call the caravans in Shrek City to purchase rare metals through smuggling business with those in the Sun and Moon Empire.
But these guys' appetites are getting bigger and bigger, and the prices of rare metals are almost skyrocketing!
If it weren't for the fact that the three original empires didn't have as huge rare metal resources as the Sun and Moon Empire, no one would buy it at the high price.
“Those old foxes would never have thought that the rare metals they hid would disappear without a trace overnight!”
Jiang Ming chuckled, then stretched out his arms to hug him Live on Zhang Lexuan's shoulders.
"Sister Lexuan, it will be dawn soon, let's"
For a powerful person at the Title Douluo level, a night without rest will have almost no impact.
Moreover, it was during this period that Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan truly achieved the negative distance achievement. It was the time when the flavor of food was revealed. Both of them are young people, so the demand for this aspect is naturally very strong.
Zhang Lexuan smelled the intoxicating and aphrodisiac fragrance of Jiang Ming, and two faint blushes appeared on her beautiful face.
Compared to Jiang Ming, her desire seemed to be stronger, especially when she knew that Princess Jiujiu was showing her wild ambitions. On the surface, she did not react and was calm and composed, but she still had some feelings in her heart.
This feeling is mixed with her inner desire, and being guided by the aphrodisiac fragrance exuding from Jiang Ming's body, Zhang Lexuan's desire in this aspect is even stronger than Jiang Ming's.
However, she is Zhang Lexuan after all. As the senior sister of the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, she can temporarily control her desires.
"Wait a minute."
Zhang Lexuan slapped away Jiang Ming's palm that was trying to hit his chest from the back, shook her head, and the feeling of the black hair gently hitting her face made her feel The somewhat blurred eyes sobered up a little.
“There is one more thing.”
Zhang Lexuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
“Mr. We really plan to detain all of our participating teams in Mingdu!”
Jiang Ming raised this conjecture at the Poseidon Pavilion meeting a month ago.
At that time, out of trust in Jiang Ming, the elders did not refute.
But to be honest, at that time, the elders did not think that the Sun and Moon Empire would really do this.
The reason is very simple. The Continental Senior Soul Master Elite Competition has been held on the mainland for so many years. There may have been attacks during the competition, but the country hosting the competition will never let any accidents occur in the competition. of.
This is a great damage to a country's reputation.
But now, the Sun and Moon Empire has really done this!
Reputation is indeed important, but it is based on the existence of four countries on the continent.
If the Sun and Moon Empire destroyed the other three empires, then this reputation would not matter.
“Expected”
Jiang Ming’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he was not surprised at all by what Zhang Lexuan said.
"Then what are we going to do next?"
Zhang Lexuan frowned slightly, with some solemnity in her beautiful eyes.
The Sun and Moon Empire has sealed off Mingdu. Maybe they will not take action during the competition, but once the competition is over, how should they deal with the soul mentor group of the Sun and Moon Empire?
Jiang Ming closed his eyes slightly and lay on his back on the bed to think.
"Mingdu is surrounded by the soul masters of the Sun and Moon Empire. In fact, it is not a threat to us. Even the Star Luo Empire, the Sky Soul Empire, and the Dou Ling Empire should have a way to leave, but Basically, the other sects and academy forces that come to compete cannot leave.”
Yes, Mingdu is surrounded by the soul mentor group of the Sun and Moon Empire, and there is actually no threat to Shrek Academy.
After all, as long as Jiang Ming wants to, he can bring Shrek and the people from the Tang Sect into the small world at any time.
With Jiang Ming’s own strength comparable to that of Ultimate Douluo, no one can stop him if he wants to leave.
He can even transform into Mingjiang directly without leaving, and can join the Sun and Moon Empire.
But it is difficult for other participating teams.
Jiang Ming can bring everyone from Shrek Academy and Tang Sect's participating teams into the small world, which is trustworthy. But for other participating teams, it’s really hard to say.
Suddenly, Jiang Ming frowned and sat up from the bed with a sit-up.
“Moreover, maybe those participating teams that have finished the competition have been arrested by the people of the Sun and Moon Empire.”
Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan was stunned.
"No, during this period."
Jiang Ming shook his head and said: "There is indeed no movement during this period, and even Elder Xuan and Elder Song did not notice it. But Sister Lexuan, you ignore One thing happened. The teams that were eliminated a few days ago were not very strong. If the Sun and Moon Empire really wanted to hold them back, it would be too easy, and they could even do it silently."
The sects or academy forces that have been eliminated in the past few days, those students or disciples are all at the fourth and fifth rings. The leader is also the seventh ring, and the stronger ones may be the eighth ring.
But even so, in front of the behemoth of the Sun and Moon Empire, they have no ability to resist at all.
Even the leaders of these participating teams will actively cooperate in order to save the lives of students or disciples.
In this case, the Sun and Moon Empire is fully capable of letting these participating teams be detained silently.
“Tsk, it seems that we need to find an opportunity to check where the arrested people are being held.”
Jiang Ming frowned, feeling that there was some trouble.
Since the Sun and Moon Empire has really taken this step, it must be careful in everything that follows.
The harbinger of war!
Jiang Ming sorted out the thoughts in his mind.
First of all, the Sun and Moon Empire surrounded Mingdu and detained the participating teams. This was almost a plan to take action. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a precursor to war.
Although the three major empires have already heavily armed themselves with soul guides, they really have to adapt to the soul guide group and the soul guides of the Sun and Moon Empire that have been formed for who knows how many years. Compared with the guided army, it is really not on the same level.
So, war can be delayed as long as possible!
For this, he actually had a plan before.
That is to gather strong people, cause a big riot in Mingdu, and even cause great damage to Mingdu!
If it can cause harm to the Sun Moon Empire royal family, especially Xu Tianran, it is very likely to delay the arrival of the war.
Judging from the information Jiang Ming obtained while lurking in Mingdu, the core figure in the Sun Moon Empire who wanted to start the war was Xu Tianran!
According to Jiang Ming's previous thoughts, as long as the Sun Moon Empire really intends to retain people, he will directly attack Xu Tianran! At that time, even with Long Xiaoyao protecting him, Mr. Xuan, Mr. Song and the others would have a great chance of attacking Xu Tianran.
But now, this plan is a little troublesome.
Because they had misjudged the strength of the Holy Spirit Church.
Including the woman who saved the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult last time, the Holy Spirit Cult has at least two Extreme Douluo. If the leader is not dead, there will be a ninety-eighth level Super Douluo, and then Coupled with the ninth-level soul masters from the Sun and Moon Empire Royal Enshrinement Hall and Mingde Hall.
It would be too difficult to touch Xu Tianran!
Even if you are not careful, it is easy to fold in.
Moreover, the previous clone Ming Jiang also provided a piece of information. Over at Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming were researching something with a large number of ninth-level soul masters, which was most likely a killing move against him.
In this case, once he is targeted, even if he cannot be killed, he will most likely be held back.
If he is held back, he will lose the combat power of one Ultimate Douluo, and the others will face two Ultimate Douluo and many ninth-level soul masters from the Sun and Moon Empire
The more he thinks about it, the more headaches he gets.
Now Jiang Ming really regrets not directly using the strongest force to kill the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect. In that case, the pressure can be reduced a little.
The original plan was to lure out the Holy Spirit Cult people through Tang Ya, and then follow them all the way to destroy the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters.
But that action only killed Zhang Peng, a Scorpion Tiger Douluo.
As for the captured Ghost Shadow Douluo, Jiang Ming has also obtained part of his memory through mind control skills these days.
It was precisely because of these memories that Jiang Ming gave up the action against the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Religion.
Because, in Ghost Shadow Douluo's memory, the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult is underground in the Demonic Forest!
It's nothing underground, but in Ghost Shadow Douluo's memory, there was a deal between the Holy Spirit Cult and the soul beast master of the Demonic Forest.
The soul beast master of the Demonic Forest will help the people of the Holy Spirit Cult protect the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult!
If it were an ordinary soul beast, Jiang Ming wouldn’t care too much.
But the soul beast master of the Evil Forest is the evil-eyed tyrant master who ranks second among the top ten vicious beasts!
The Evil Eye Tyrant Lord!
With a cultivation level of nearly 800,000 years, among the land soul beasts in Douluo Continent, they are the most terrifying existence second only to Di Tian!
With such an existence protecting the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Religion, and the two extreme Douluo of the Holy Spirit Religion itself, Jiang Ming completely gave up the idea of attacking the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Religion.
The headquarters of the Holy Spirit Sect cannot be moved, and Xu Tianran cannot move. They need to find a new breakthrough
Jiang Ming frowned and his brain was working rapidly.
At this time, a cool feeling came from my temples.
Zhang Lexuan's gentle voice sounded in Jiang Ming's ears.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, you have already done enough"
Everything Jiang Ming has done over the years has been seen by Zhang Lexuan and the elders of Shrek Academy.
The other inner courtyard students of Shrek Academy were still cultivating on their own when they were his age, but Jiang Ming had already started doing it ten years ago, or even earlier. Make a contribution.
And now, the Sun and Moon Empire is going to launch a war, which will affect countless forces throughout the continent.
This should not be just him figuring it out alone, but everyone working together.
Zhang Lexuan's slender fingers gently massaged Jiang Ming's temples. Jiang Ming lay down and rested his pillow on Zhang Lexuan's round thighs. He smelled Zhang Lexuan's refreshing body fragrance and slowly relaxed his frown.
He temporarily put aside everything in his mind and let himself go.
To be honest, thinking about these things really consumes the brain cells. He has never thought that he is a particularly smart person, but sometimes, he has to think about these things.
Time passed by minute by second, and the night was pierced by the light of the morning and dissipated in the sky.
People in Mingdu who bought tickets for the competition all got up early, came to the competition venue early with the snacks and drinks they bought, and sat down in an orderly manner under the control of soldiers. .
They didn't know what was going to happen in Mingdu, and they were all looking forward to the wonderful performance in today's game.
