Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 242: Moving Like a Merchant (Chapter 5000, Part )

"clang!"

A crisp sound of metal colliding was heard, causing the two old men who were originally talking in Miter's most senior VIP room to suddenly raise their heads and look at each other, their faces both extremely solemn.

"Strong King Fighter?"

"Not only that, judging by this momentum, it is probably far superior to that of a low-level Douhuang."

One of the old men put down the teacup in his hand, and the steaming tea had suddenly turned into a block of solid ice.

This person was none other than Hai Bodong who had disappeared for several days.

"Old Jia, it seems that during my absence, there have been some new people in the capital that you cannot control."

Hai Bodong smiled as he looked at the old man in hemp clothes with a gloomy expression and said meaningfully.

Hearing this, Jia Xingtian snorted angrily and sneered, "There's only one existence in the entire Jiama Empire that I can't control. The Yunlan Sect is the only one. Whoever dares to cause such a big commotion before the Alchemist Conference will have to give an explanation to the royal family, no matter who they are!"

The old man's whole body was filled with a powerful aura, and his expression was no longer as amiable and lazy as it was at the conference. Instead, an astonishingly powerful wave emerged.

This kind of fluctuation has reached the peak level of Douhuang!
"Old Hai, since your strength has mostly recovered, why don't you accompany me on this journey?"

Jia Xingtian slowly walked to the rooftop, his dark yellow wings spread out. He turned and smiled, "The number one sponsor of the Alchemist Conference is your Miter family, right? If anything goes wrong in the finals..."

Although Jia Xingtian only said half of the words, the meaning was obviously self-evident.

As expected, after hearing Jia Xingtian's words, Hai Bodong rolled his eyes, cursed in his heart, and then said helplessly:
"You old fox, let me make it clear first. If the opponent is too strong, I won't take action."

"Don't worry, apart from that old monster from the Yunlan Sect, there's no one I'm afraid of."

"."

As they gradually approached the site where the momentum had exploded, a trace of surprise suddenly flashed across Hai Bodong's originally indifferent face, and he slowed down his flying speed at a distance of several hundred feet.

After a while, he suddenly frowned and muttered to himself in astonishment, "Why does this aura resemble that Miss Ruoruo?"

It was no wonder that Hai Bodong hadn't noticed it. When they met in that small shop before, Hun Ruoruo had only displayed part of her aura, which made it difficult for him, a Dou Ling at the time, to resist, and he mistook the other party for a Dou Wang powerful warrior with extraordinary talent.

But now the aftermath of the battle between the two parties is so strong that even he, who has recovered his Douhuang cultivation, feels a little chest tightness and shortness of breath, which is far from what it was before!

Seeing Hai Bodong suddenly slow down, Jia Xingtian's dry face trembled, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Old Hai, do you recognize one of those two Douhuang auras?"

"Yes, I do know him."

Hai Bodong glanced at the other party with a strange expression, then said in an inexplicable tone, "If I'm not mistaken, the one with the stronger aura is the new leader of the Yunlan Sect, Shuang."

"what?!"

Jia Xingtian's eyes widened as he stared at the overwhelmingly powerful and terrifying aura in the sky. He said in horror, "Even Yun Yun can't match this kind of aura. Shouldn't she only be the deputy sect leader?"

Looking at Hai Bodong who spread his hands towards him, Jia Xingtian's eyelids twitched wildly, his face turned pale and blue, and after hesitating for a long time, he could only shake his head bitterly. For a moment, he felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

There are three Dou Huangs in one sect, and two of them are at the peak of Dou Huang. This kind of strength is far beyond his royal family.

Looking at Jia Xingtian who was slapped in the face for his previous bold words, Hai Bodong did not show his usual gloating expression. Instead, he cast a rather complicated look in the direction of the battle.

"What on earth is this girl planning? Xiao Yan is almost going crazy with anxiety."

Recalling the madness Xiao Yan displayed when Qing Lin was captured, Hai Bodong couldn't help but shudder and muttered with a wry smile.

"boom!"

A long and narrow water blade collided with the ball of light formed by the dark figure again, splitting the fighting spirit around him into pieces like glass, and his aura instantly weakened.

"This price can be regarded as my punishment. If you dare to spy again, humph!" Hun Ruoruo said in a calm and cold tone as she looked at Ling Ying, who was in a disheveled state.

Ling Ying, who had been unable to fight back due to being in the wrong, sensed the other party's attack, which did not have murderous intent. He felt grateful and immediately gave her full face, saying respectfully:

"Yes! I will withdraw now. From now on, I will never set foot outside this place again. I hope you will not blame me."

Glancing secretly into the distance, Ling Ying noticed the aura of the two Dou Huangs rushing over, and immediately changed his tone to address Hun Ruoruo as "Your Excellency", obviously not wanting to reveal their identities.

Seeing the other party's expression relax slightly, Ling Ying was delighted and bowed again. Then he no longer hesitated, quickly spread his fighting spirit wings, and flew towards the outside of the imperial capital without looking back, for fear of staying here for even a moment longer.

Turning around slowly, Hun Ruoruo looked at the two people watching from the side, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said in a calm voice, "Have you two seen enough?"

Before recovering from the shock of the other party's powerful suppression of the mysterious Dou Huang, Jia Xingtian took a few deep breaths and said with a stiff face, "I am Jia Xingtian. I have long heard of the name of the new leader of the Yunlan Sect. After meeting him today, I can see that he is indeed worthy of his reputation."

"Ice Emperor, Hai Bodong."

Hai Bodong pretended to be calm, but his sharp eyes noticed that the other party gave him a playful smile, and he couldn't help but relax a little.

Hun Ruoruo nodded: "So it is the old veterans of the empire who have gathered here today. Is there something important going on?"

"Master Shuang, the imperial capital has always forbidden those above the Douling Spirit level from fighting each other. Moreover, we are now at the critical stage of the Alchemist Conference. Your actions are really putting me in a difficult position."

His expression gradually turned calm, and there was a hint of questioning in Xingtian's words, which showed that he was extremely dissatisfied with the Yunlan Sect's domineering attitude.

"It's difficult?" Hun Ruoruo frowned for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle and shook her head:

"Old Jia claims to be the patron saint of the empire, yet he did nothing even when the Alchemist Conference was secretly infiltrated by numerous bugs. I thought you were here to maintain order at the Alchemist Conference. What a pity."

"you!"

The word "what a pity" instantly made Jia Xingtian feel embarrassed, and a hint of anger appeared on his dry face.

"What are you angry about? Not to mention the mysterious Dou Huang who sneaked in earlier, I'm afraid you didn't even notice anything unusual about the contestants who secretly hid their identities, right?"

Hun Ruoruo waved her hand, and then her figure flashed, and her fighting spirit wings swept towards the contestants' residence like a rainbow.

"If you want to know the reason, just follow up on your own. There is no time to waste."

Seeing this, Jia Xingtian, who was confused, looked in the direction of Hai Bodong. After noticing the other party's nodding expression, he could only flick his sleeves in annoyance and quickly followed the other party's position.

Arriving at a quiet courtyard of an inn, Hun Ruoruo chopped down with her knife without any hesitation. Her fighting spirit condensed into substance, instantly making a big hole in the roof. It then turned into a restraint and lifted up the gray-robed young man who had made a name for himself during the competition into the air.

"Who are you?!" the gray-robed boy asked in horror.

"Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva, do you want it?"

Looking at Yan Li, who was frightened by her sudden action and lost his composure, Hun Ruoruo's eyes flashed with a purple light and she smiled playfully.

"You... you are the one who issued the award? Are you the leader of the Yunlan Sect?!"

The young man in gray robe looked at the two powerful men with terrifying aura who were rushing towards him from a distance, his face suddenly turned pale and he roared with resentment.

"You got it right, but unfortunately, there's no reward~"

Hun Ruoruo lowered her eyes slightly and spoke quietly.

Gazing at the moonlit beauty's expression, tinged with greed and amusement, the gray-robed youth's heart trembled. The extreme contrast sent blood rushing through his head, and he was terrified. A strong desire to survive forced him to raise his head and shout fiercely in the direction not far away, "You two, this person is trying to attack the contestants. Even if she is the leader of the Yunlan Sect, she can't do such a thing, right?"

As a contestant, Yan Li had seen Jia Xingtian's appearance at the conference. Coupled with his understanding of the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire, it was as if he had grasped the last straw to save his life.

"Master Shuang, wait a minute!" Upon hearing this, Jia Xingtian, who knew the other party's intention, changed his expression and shouted in a deep voice.

Seeing this, Hun Ruoruo seemed to hesitate for a moment. The gray-robed youth, noticing the easing of his restraints, was overjoyed and sneered, saying:
"Hehe, Senior Jia is still far-sighted. As long as you kill me, the news of the Gama Empire's manipulation conference tomorrow will spread to all nearby empires!"

"Boy, are you threatening me?"

Jia Xingtian was already extremely depressed, and after hearing the impolite words from the gray-robed youth, his eyes suddenly turned colder and he said lightly.

"Threat? I'm just stating a fact. After all, the reputation of the royal family and the guild depends on this conference."

The young man in gray robe laughed with his head raised, but his hand quietly reached towards the storage ring, and his fighting spirit secretly gathered, as if he wanted to destroy something.

"Senior Jia, you are a wise man, unlike the Yunlan Sect. I, uh!"

Before he could finish his words, at the moment when the grey-robed boy's fighting spirit touched the storage ring, a drop of water emitting blue-purple light suddenly shot into his brow. Before he could even finish his words, he fell backwards to the ground and was motionless.

"Oh, you have good vision. My Yunlan Sect is indeed different from the royal family."

Looking at the corpse that still had a wild smile on its face, Hun Ruoruo smiled lightly, her tone cold, as if she was not the one who killed the person.

"For example, I don't like having minions finish their lines."

When Jia Xingtian sensed the fleeting light, it was already too late to rescue. His expression changed drastically, his fighting spirit surged, and he shouted angrily, "Master Shuang, what do you mean by this?!"

"Didn't I tell you earlier that this person was a fake contestant? Why are you still asking me?"

Hun Ruoruo seemed a little impatient. Seeing that the communication was unclear, she simply said to Hai Bodong beside her, "The Ice Emperor must have seen the clues, right?"

Hai Bodong, who was called, showed no sign of surprise. He cast a helpless look at Hun Ruoruo, then said thoughtfully:
"Well, the aura that man exuded earlier was very strong, perhaps even reaching the level of a Dou Wang. Judging from his age, there is definitely something strange about him."

Unlike Jia Xingtian who was overwhelmed by a series of unexpected actions, Hai Bodong knew that Hun Ruoruo must have some plans, so he used his perception to carefully scan the gray-robed young man from the very beginning.

He walked forward and took out the crimson pill that the other person was quietly holding in his hand. After thinking for a moment, he said to Jia Xingtian, "Old Jia, have you ever seen this pill before?"

"Is this the Rejuvenation Pill?"

Jia Xingtian was knowledgeable and often accompanied the little princess in refining pills. He was obviously well versed in many rare and precious elixirs. He soon saw the clue and his face suddenly became gloomy, obviously realizing that something was wrong.

Based on Xingtian's understanding of Hai Bodong, he knew that this person was usually very cold and arrogant, and would never lie or cheat. Moreover, there was no conflict of interest between the Yunlan Sect and the Mitel Family, so what he said was indeed completely credible.

If this grey-robed man is indeed a Dou Wang, and considering the special efficacy of the Fuyan Pill, it is not difficult to guess that he must be a spy sent by another country to disrupt the situation!
"To be precise, it's the antidote to the Furong Pill, but it's only temporary."

Hun Ruoruo said, "This man's body is that of a Dou Wang, so it won't decay anytime soon. All we need to do is grind this pill into powder tomorrow and inject it into his body. It will temporarily restore him to his original state, and then naturally no one will be able to say anything."

"There are three pills. If you don't believe me, go back and try it yourself."

Hun Ruoruo's move was so decisive and thoughtful that Jia Xingtian lost his temper for a moment. After a moment's silence, he had to nod his head with difficulty.

"Today's events are indeed all thanks to Sect Master Shuang."

Soon, Jia Xingtian, who was preoccupied, no longer had the heart to chat and laugh with Hai Bodong. After exchanging a few words with the two of them, he quickly rushed back towards the royal family with Yan Li's corpse and the antidote for the Furong Pill.

Looking at Jia Xingtian's rapidly receding back, Hai Bodong couldn't help but smack his lips, and then turned his gaze back to the girl who was pretending to be indifferent.

Shaking his head slightly, Hun Ruoruo suddenly let out a long breath, his expression becoming playful again, and he said with a grin:
"Senior Hai, long time no see. If it weren't for you just now, I don't know how long I would have been arguing with that old guy."

"Miss Ruoruo, I'll call you that for now. The title of the leader of the Yunlan Sect really scared me." Hai Bodong said with a wry smile, shaking his head slowly.

"Hai Lao, just call me Ruoruo. We are partners after all, so why be so distant?"

Hun Ruoruo said casually, and when she saw Hai Bodong nodded as if he was about to say something, she smiled and gently made a silencing gesture.

"Although we happened to meet tonight, please don't mention anything about me to the young master, or I will be angry~"

".Well, whatever, I won't get involved in your affairs, old man."

After hearing Hun Ruoruo's words, Hai Bodong, who originally wanted to know about Xiao Yan's situation, paused and could only sigh helplessly.

In Hai Bodong's opinion, the so-called three-year agreement was just around the corner. Since the other party had already prepared for this, there was no need for him to interfere.

After all, at this moment, he and Xiao Yan could not be said to have a very deep friendship.

Both of them were at the Douhuang level, and the major commotion they caused in the imperial capital naturally attracted the attention of many guards. Knowing that this was not the time for idle chat, Hai Bodong disappeared from Yanli's residence after a brief negotiation.

The moonlight seemed to be obscured by thick clouds, and the quiet night was deep, forming an atmosphere that was out of tune with the previous noise.

The girl walked briskly down the street, leaving the lights on, passing through the alleys. She looked completely different from before, lively and lovely.

"We've got a Dou Wang-level alchemist. Time to call it a day. After watching that guy's match tomorrow, we can head home!"

Hun Ruoruo cheered, then thought for a moment, sighed with regret, and said to herself, "But without Yan Li as an obstacle, isn't it a little boring?"

"Well, with his current strength, Yan Li shouldn't pose any threat. After all, I've cultivated his soul power to such a strong level, there's no reason to explode the furnace again."

"Old Hai had such a strange expression on his face earlier, it must be because that guy spilled the beans. He's such a big mouth."

"."

She was very happy, a kind of happiness that was hard to describe.

Perhaps it was because of the joy after the plan succeeded, or perhaps it was because after obtaining the soul of Dou Wang Alchemist, he could temporarily delay the plan of the protector Wu and ultimately avoid the scene of separation of bones and blood.

She was a person who followed her heart. Not only for Xiao Yan, but perhaps also because of her hope of finding her mother, she felt that she needed to do this.

It is just to make the mind clear.

Suddenly, a cool breeze passed through her cheeks. Hun Ruoruo raised her head and looked at the sky. After seeing the thick clouds, she couldn't help but whispered:

"It's raining."

It is normal for a Douhuang-level battle to mobilize the energy of heaven and earth, and the sudden change in the previously clear and cloudless weather is obviously reasonable.

She did not choose to use her fighting spirit, but instead placed her hands on her forehead, jokingly jokingly, and finally came to a slightly eerie alley in the dim light, lowered her head and crawled under the eaves.

"Phew, luckily there is a place to hide from the rain, my skirt almost got soaked."

Hiding from the rain under the eaves, Hun Ruoruo waved her little hands to shake off the water stains, and then her eyes inadvertently fell on a pair of clean black shoes in the corner. There was no mud or water stains on them, as if they had been waiting there for a long time.

Her gaze subconsciously moved upwards, and suddenly met a pair of deep eyes, which seemed cold, yet fiery, as if mixed with extremely complex and indescribable emotions, blocking the close distance between the two.

Looking at the ordinary-looking and indifferent boy, Hun Ruoruo's pupils shrank slightly and her heart was beating fast.

"Xiao Xiaoyan?"

　It took some time to explain the necessary foreshadowing, but it's all finally done. I'll move on a bit faster from now on.
