Douluo: Star Crown Glory

Chapter 119: Another Kind of House Arrest

The Eighth Elder and the Master Craftsman Lou Gao were facing each other in the reception room when suddenly a servant knocked on the door and came in to report that a big shot from the Xingguan Sect had arrived and was waiting in the front hall.

Hearing this, the Eighth Elder was ecstatic, and as written in his letter, he requested the sect to send someone who could make the decision. This time, the person coming would at least be a Titled Douluo.

"Master Lou Gao, please come in."

"I'm afraid you won't make it."

The Eighth Elder brought Lou Gao to the front hall. Even though he was prepared, he was still stunned when he saw Xu Mingxi and Xu Mingguang sitting there. This lineup seemed to show too much respect for Lou Gao and Geng Xincheng.

These two were the future leader and great elder of the Xingguan Sect, true Super Douluo, while Lou Gao was just a Soul Sage. If he wasn't slightly afraid of his prestige, he would have chopped him to pieces.

Due to the threat from Qian Daoliu, the Xingguan Sect cannot openly participate in the continental disputes for the time being.

Given Lou Gao and Gengxin City's status as the largest weapons manufacturer on Douluo Continent, it would be easy to kill him, but if they were noticed by the Spirit Hall, it would be a loss.

Moreover, Gengxin City is quite powerful. If the Eighth Elder kills Lou Gao here, he may not be able to get out of the encirclement.

"You two are from the Xingguan Sect..."

Lou Gao originally looked at the two people in front of him who were wearing masks but were not very old, and thought they were someone with a title from the Star Crown Sect, until he was oppressed by the pressure that belonged only to a Titled Douluo and fell into a chair beside him, unable to speak.

Titled Douluo! Is it the leader of Xingguan Sect? No, the age doesn't match, and the hair is not Dugu Bo, who are they?

The pressure dissipated, and Lou Gao looked at Xu Mingxi and the other man in horror. He sat in the chair in a daze, his body trembling slightly, and cold sweat kept pouring down his face.

"Master Lou Gao, we can now discuss the rare metal business."

Yes, why not? How could I not? With his life in the hands of others, Lou Gao temporarily put aside his obsession with rare metals and nodded to Xu Mingxi.

However, he was still somewhat curious. Are some rare metals worth the Xingguan Sect exposing the Titled Douluo that had been hidden for so long?

"Master Lou Gao, in addition to the rare metals that you use to make weapons and sell to various major forces every year, your Gengxin City must also have a lot of rare metals in stock privately. My Xingguan Sect wants all of them."

Impossible! Lou Gao was about to shout when he suddenly realized that the two people in front of him were not the apprentices he scolded casually on weekdays.

Forcing himself to calm down, Lou Gao finally regained his sanity, but he couldn't suppress his curiosity at all.

There is only one possibility for the Xingguan Sect to purchase a large amount of rare metals, and they did not buy the metals in Gengxin City to make weapons. He has never heard that the Xingguan Sect is good at forging.

"Your Majesty, I can do my best to collect rare metals from the members of the Blacksmith Guild, but I want to know what you are going to do with them."

"Master Lou Gao, do you really want to know?"

Looking at the Title Douluo approaching him and his sinister voice, Lou Gao couldn't help swallowing his saliva, feeling that he had suddenly fallen into an unfathomable vortex. Two months later, Lou Gao, the president of the Blacksmith Association, who had raised a large amount of rare metals and claimed to have forged peerless equipment in seclusion, disappeared from the weapon refining room with his favorite apprentice Silong, and all the rare metals disappeared.

As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar on the mainland. The head of the largest arms manufacturer disappeared inexplicably. How could this be tolerated?

The soul masters were discussing the matter, but the leaders of the major forces turned their attention to the Spirit Hall. It seemed that only they had the strength and reason to take Lou Gao away from the heart of Gengxin City.

At this time, Lou Gao, who was being talked about by everyone, had already boarded the carriage to Xingguan Sect with his disciple Silong. In his hand was the blueprint of the second-level soul guide that Xu Mingxi had shown him before, and his eyes were full of fanaticism.

At the beginning, he only took a glance at it when Xu Mingxi took it out, and he was sure that the soul guide would definitely cause changes in Douluo Continent. He immediately agreed to go to Xingguan Sect, even though he knew that he would most likely be placed under house arrest there after he went there.

But he no longer wanted to think about these things. Now he just wanted to know how many soul guide blueprints the Xingguan Sect had obtained, and what level the highest-level blueprints had reached.

The person driving in front was the Eighth Elder who was in charge of purchasing rare metals. Having successfully completed his mission, he was paying close attention to the movements around him, both for fear of being attacked and to prevent Lou Gao and Si Long from escaping.

However, these were not Xu Mingxi's business for the time being. After meeting Lou Gao, he and Xu Mingguang entered the Star Dou Great Forest again according to the location of the 150,000-year-old Kongming Demon Leopard discovered by the Xingguan Sect.

If you don't give this place a chance, you can't be considered a powerful soul master. Xu Mingxi and the others were already familiar with the place. They casually sent away the soul beasts that rushed up without any eyes, and came to the place where the Kongming Demon Leopard appeared.

This is already the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. Even Xu Mingxi doesn't dare to act recklessly here. If he alarms the ferocious beasts in the deepest part that are sucking the energy of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworms, it would be disastrous.

"Brother Mingguang, the Kongming Demon Leopard is incredibly fast. This one is over 100,000 years old. It may have learned to use space energy. You must be careful next time."

"Don't worry, after all, my eighth soul ring also absorbed a hundred thousand year soul ring. Even if I can't defeat it, I can still hold on for a while."

The two carefully searched this area for many days but found nothing. Just when Xu Mingxi thought that this Kongming Demon Leopard had also gone to participate in the feast of dividing the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, there was suddenly a noise in the distance.

He quickly grabbed Xu Mingguang, who had not noticed the movement, and jumped onto the tree trunk and hid, staring at the direction where the noise came from in the distance.

I saw the trees in the forest falling down one after another, and the bushes being trampled flat. A huge monster standing on four legs, with a spiral horn, a silver body, and scales glittering in the sun suddenly pushed the trees next to it and walked out in a swagger.

"Is this a silver-scaled beast? Brother Mingguang, can you tell how old this soul beast is?"

"Look at its spiral horn, it's at least ten inches long. This is a silver-scaled beast that is more than 100,000 years old.

"Can it be used as your ninth spirit ring? Isn't it too old?"

Xu Mingguang thought for a moment and decided to hunt the silver-scaled beast. It was unknown when he would find the Kongming Demon Leopard.

Moreover, if he remembered correctly, the Silver Scaled Beast could use the scales on its body to reflect dizzying light. If he could obtain this soul skill, it would definitely be a great help to him.
