Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 594 Dilemma
These dull noises were very frequent. If one paid close attention, one could tell that they lasted for at least a dozen times.

However, although these dull noises were very frequent, they did not have much impact on the people in Mingdu.

Because these dull noises all came from the residences of imperial ministers, or some nobles' manors, or the strongholds of evil forces.

In that vast area, ordinary people don’t even know what is going on inside and can only judge that there is a problem by the sounds.

Inside the hotel, Jiang Ming listened to these dull sounds, 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, who was beside him, heard the noise, walked to the window, opened the curtains, and looked outside the hotel.

Mingdu's defense forces acted quickly, especially during the competition, as a large number of city defense forces were stationed in Mingdu itself.

Almost as soon as these dull sounds appeared, several teams of city guards rushed to the place where these dull sounds came from.

Zhang Lexuan withdrew her gaze from outside, drew the curtains, and looked at Jiang Ming.

"How was the harvest?"

Jiang Ming had naturally told her about his actions, so Huo Yuhao was asked to pretend to be Jiang Ming and talk to Princess Jiujiu as an alibi.

Of course, with Jiang Ming's methods, the troops in Mingdu would definitely not be able to find out who did it, but sometimes, it is always better to be more cautious.

When Jiang Ming heard Sister Le Xuan asking about the harvest, he 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."

When Jiang Ming was in Mingdu before, he also robbed the rich and helped the poor.

But at that time, because he had discovered the Holy Spirit Church, he focused his robbing on the strongholds of the Holy Spirit Church, and from time to time he would go to some noble manors with bad reputations to make a move.

Now, he focused his attention on those ministers and nobles among the Mingdu officials who were related to the smuggling of rare metals.

These guys are really rich. After today's wave of activities, Jiang Ming's rare metal reserves have increased significantly.

However, now that he has the rare metals, he doesn't have much time to make soul guides.
Well, if there is a chance, I should borrow a few tools from the Holy Spirit Church.

Zhang Lexuan said softly: "When I contacted these guys in Mingdu with the caravan from Shrek City before, they all said they didn't have any goods and kept raising the price. Now it seems that they are all a group of old foxes."

As for rare metals, both Shrek Academy itself and the invested Tang Sect and other forces are in great need of them.

After accumulating a huge amount of funds, Zhang Lexuan began to mobilize the caravans in Shrek City to purchase rare metals from those guys who were engaged in smuggling business in the Sun and Moon Empire.

But these guys have bigger appetites than each other, and they are almost negotiating the price of rare metals to the sky!
If the three original empires did not have such vast rare metal resources as the Sun-Moon Empire, no one would be willing to buy it at such a high price.

"Those old foxes would never have thought that the rare metals they had been hiding would disappear without a trace overnight!"

Jiang Ming chuckled, then put his arm around Zhang Lexuan's shoulders.

"Sister Le Xuan, it's almost dawn, we..."

For a Titled Douluo-level warrior, not resting for a night would have almost no impact.

Moreover, Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan only achieved negative distance during this period, which was the time for them to enjoy the charm of food. Both of them were young people, so their demand for this aspect was naturally very strong.

Zhang Lexuan smelled the intoxicating aphrodisiac fragrance on 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 revealed her wolfish ambitions. She did not react on the surface and remained calm, but she still had some feelings in her heart.

This feeling mixed with her inner desires, and guided by the aphrodisiac fragrance emanating from Jiang Ming, made Zhang Lexuan's desire in this regard even stronger than Jiang Ming's.

However, she is Zhang Lexuan after all. As the eldest sister in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, she can temporarily control her desires.

"Wait a minute."

Zhang Lexuan slapped away Jiang Ming's hand that was about to attack her chest from behind, and shook her head. The feeling of her black hair gently hitting her face made her somewhat blurry eyes a little clearer.

"And one more thing."

Zhang Lexuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"Master Xuan and Master Song have explored the periphery of Mingdu. Now the periphery of Mingdu has been surrounded by the soul guide group of the Sun Moon Empire. You guessed it right. The Sun Moon Empire is probably really planning to detain all of our participating teams in Mingdu this time!"

A month ago, Jiang Ming put forward this conjecture at the Poseidon Pavilion meeting.

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-Moon Empire would really do that.

The reason is simple, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition has been held on the continent for so many years, and there may have been attacks during the competition, but the host country will never allow any accidents to occur in the competition.

This is a great damage to the reputation of a country.

But now, the Sun-Moon Empire really did it!
Reputation is indeed important, but that is based on the existence of four countries on the continent.

If the Sun-Moon Empire destroyed the other three empires, then this reputation would no longer matter.

“I expected it”

Jiang Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was not at all surprised by what Zhang Lexuan said.

"Then what are we going to do next?"

Zhang Lexuan frowned slightly, with a solemn look in her beautiful eyes.

The Sun-Moon Empire has blockaded Mingdu. Perhaps they will not take action during the competition, but once the competition is over, how will they deal with the Sun-Moon Empire's soul mentor team?
Jiang Ming closed his eyes slightly and lay on his back on the bed, thinking.

"Mingdu is surrounded by the Soul Instructor Group of the Sun and Moon Empire. In fact, it poses no threat to us. Even the Xingluo Empire, the Tianhun Empire, and the Douling Empire should have a way to leave, but the other sects and academy forces that came to participate in the competition basically can't leave."

Yes, Mingdu was surrounded by the soul instructors of the Sun-Moon Empire, and posed no threat to Shrek Academy.

After all, as long as Jiang Ming wanted, he could bring people from Shrek and Tang Sect into the small world at any time.

With Jiang Ming’s strength comparable to that of an Extreme Douluo, no one could stop him if he wanted to leave.

He doesn't even have to leave, he can directly transform into Mingjiang and join the Sun and Moon Empire.

But it is difficult for other participating teams.

Jiang Ming could take the people from the Shrek Academy and Tang Sect teams into the small world, so he was trustworthy. But it was hard to say about the other teams.

Suddenly, Jiang Ming frowned and sat up from the bed with a sit-up.

"Moreover, perhaps those teams that have already finished the competition have been captured by the people of the Sun-Moon Empire."

Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan was stunned.

"No, during this period of time."

Jiang Ming shook his head and said, "There has indeed been no movement during this period, even Elder Xuan and Elder Song did not notice it. But Sister Le Xuan, you overlooked one thing. The team that was eliminated a few days ago was not very strong. If the Sun Moon Empire really wanted to detain them, it would be too easy, and it could even be done silently."

The sects or academy forces that were eliminated in the past few days, those students or disciples all had the fourth and fifth rings of cultivation, and the team leaders were only at the seventh ring, and the stronger ones might be at the eighth ring.

But even so, they had no ability to resist the behemoth that is the Sun-Moon Empire.

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-Moon Empire is fully capable of detaining these participating teams silently.

"Tsk, looks like I need to find a chance to check where those arrested people are being held."

Jiang Ming frowned, feeling a little troubled.

Now that the Sun-Moon Empire has really taken this step, it must be careful in everything that follows.

A precursor to war!
Jiang Ming sorted out the thoughts in his mind.

First, the Sun-Moon Empire surrounded Mingdu and detained the participating teams. This was almost an open move, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a precursor to war.

Although the three major empires are now heavily armed with soul guides, they are not on the same level when compared with the soul guide corps and the army equipped with soul guides of the Sun-Moon Empire, which have been in place for who knows how many years.

Therefore, the war should be delayed as long as possible!
He actually had a plan for this.

That is to gather strong men, cause great unrest in Mingdu, and even cause great damage to Mingdu!

If we can cause harm to the royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire, especially Xu Tianran, there is a great possibility of delaying the arrival of war.

Judging from the information Jiang Ming obtained when he was lurking in Mingdu, the most important person who wanted to start a war in the Sun-Moon Empire was Xu Tianran!

According to Jiang Ming's previous thoughts, as long as the Sun Moon Empire really intends to keep people, he will directly attack Xu Tianran! At that time, even if Long Xiaoyao is protecting him, Xuan Lao, Du Bu Si, and Song Lao will have a great chance to attack Xu Tianran.

But now, the plan is in trouble.

Because they misjudged the strength of the Holy Spirit Church.

Including the woman who saved the Holy Spirit Sect leader last time, the Holy Spirit Sect has at least two Extreme Douluo. If the leader is not dead, there will be a level 98 Super Douluo, plus the Sun Moon Empire Royal Worship Hall, and the Mingde Hall's level 9 Soul Master.
It’s too difficult to touch Xu Tianran!
Even if you are not careful, it is easy to fold in.

Moreover, his clone Mingjiang had also provided a piece of information before. At Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming were researching something with a large group of ninth-level soul engineers, which was most likely a killing move aimed at him.

In this situation, once he is targeted, even if he cannot be killed, he will most likely be held back.

If he was held back, and one Ultimate Douluo was missing, the others would have to face two Ultimate Douluos and the many Level 9 Soul Masters of the Sun-Moon Empire.
The more I think about it, the more headache I get.

Now Jiang Ming really regretted not using his strongest power to kill the leader of the Holy Spirit Church. In that case, the pressure could be reduced a little.

The original plan was to lure out the people from the Holy Spirit Church through Tang Ya, and then follow them all the way to destroy the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Church.

But that action only killed one Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng.

As for the captured Ghost Douluo, Jiang Ming also obtained some of his memories through mind control skills these days.

It was precisely because of these memories that Jiang Ming gave up the action against the Holy Spirit Church headquarters.

Because, in Ghost Douluo's memory, the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Church is underground in the Demon Forest!

There was nothing much underground, but in Ghost Shadow Douluo's memory, there was a transaction between the Holy Spirit Church and the soul beast master of the Demon Forest.

The soul beast master of the Demonic Forest will help the people of the Holy Spirit Church to protect the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Church!

If it was an ordinary soul beast, Jiang Ming wouldn't care too much.

But the soul beast ruler of the Demon Forest is the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord, who ranks second among the ten most ferocious beasts!

Evil-eyed tyrant ruler!
His cultivation is close to 800,000 years, and among the land soul beasts of Douluo Continent, he is a terrifying existence second only to Di Tian!
With such an existence protecting the Holy Spirit Church's headquarters, coupled with the two Ultimate Douluo of the Holy Spirit Church itself, Jiang Ming completely gave up the idea of ​​attacking the Holy Spirit Church's headquarters.

The Holy Spirit Church headquarters cannot be moved, Xu Tianran cannot be moved, and a new breakthrough is needed
Jiang Ming frowned, his brain working rapidly.

At this moment, a cool feeling came from the temple.

Zhang Lexuan's gentle voice sounded in Jiang Ming's ears.

“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, you’ve already done enough”

Zhang Lexuan and the elders of Shrek Academy have seen everything Jiang Ming has done over the years.

When other inner-court students of Shrek Academy were his age, they were still practicing on their own, but Jiang Ming had already started to make contributions ten years ago, or even earlier.

And now, the Sun-Moon Empire is about to start a war that will affect the entire continent and countless forces.

This shouldn't just be a solution for him alone, but for everyone to work together.

Zhang Lexuan's slender fingers gently massaged Jiang Ming's temples. Jiang Ming lay down and rested his head on Zhang Lexuan's round thighs. He smelled Zhang Lexuan's refreshing body fragrance and his frown slowly relaxed.

He temporarily put aside everything in his mind and emptied himself.

To be honest, thinking about these things is really a waste of brain cells. He has never thought of himself as a particularly smart person, but sometimes, he has to think about these things.

Time passed minute by minute, and the night was pierced by the light of the early morning and dissipated into the sky.

The people in Mingdu who had bought tickets for the competition got up early, came to the competition venue early with the snacks and drinks they had bought, and sat down in their seats in an orderly manner under the control of the soldiers.

They didn't know what was going to happen in Mingdu, and they were all looking forward to what exciting performances would be in today's game.
