Douluo Continent: My Days in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 1251 The Current Status of the Hongchen Family

"Give it to someone else? Grandpa means..."

Meng Hongchen looked at Jing Hongchen and saw that the latter looked confident and seemed to have been prepared for this matter.

Xiao Hongchen also became interested.

"We don't have many people in our manor, but we can borrow some," Jing Hongchen said, leaving the rest unsaid.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were both geniuses among geniuses, and they quickly understood Jing Hongchen's meaning.

The new army that Xu Tianran wants to build is essentially cannon fodder.

The purpose of cannon fodder is to scout ahead.

The paths explored will become the road maps for the Sun Moon Empire's army.

There is much to be done in this regard.

"But Grandpa, are we going to borrow someone?" Xiao Hongchen asked.

Borrowing people, borrowing people from the Aodu Chamber of Commerce?

To take advantage of the situation, plant people into the cannon fodder ranks, and then begin infiltrating the army?

My swan, Grandpa, are you going to rebel?

Meng Hongchen blinked, not particularly concerned about the matter.

Even if her husband is criticized and denounced, she is confident that she can save him.

She is very confident now.

Because she has come into contact with a new level of power, that legendary power.

She has already opened the first level of the Silver Dust Goddess's legacy and is moving towards the second level.

Once she opened the second level, she was able to stand firm amidst the trials.

The power of the gods is invincible in the mortal realm.

Seeing his grandson's reaction, Jing Hongchen wasn't too worried. He knew part of Ye Nanxiao's plan and had also met with Kong Deming.

Most importantly, he found out that Kong Deming had been placed under house arrest by Xu Tianran.

Perhaps other prominent families who have the ability to find out this news will think that Grand Master Kong Deming has fallen from grace.

But Jing Hongchen knew very well that Kong Deming must have been bound by something, otherwise Xu Tianran's decree that shook the empire would not have been issued!

If Kong Deming breaks free of his restraints, it's hard to say whether Xu Tianran will still be able to sit on the throne.

Outsiders might think that Kong Deming is just an old man who is very good at researching soul tools and has a high status in the soul tool master world.

However, Jing Hongchen, who once controlled Mingdetang and was someone Xu Tianran once tried to win over, was very clear about many things concerning the royal family.

That is, the empire concealed Kong Deming's terrifying resume of having spent half his life on the battlefield, suppressing the three great empires to the point of being unable to raise his head.

The previous Sun and Moon Emperor had an extremely close relationship with Kong Deming, even closer than that of blood brothers.

Kong Deming remained in the Hall of Worship to research soul tools, partly because he had promised the previous Sun Moon Emperor that he would continue to lead the Sun Moon Empire.

Jing Hongchen, who almost became the Imperial Advisor, had thoroughly investigated these secrets.

If the Sun Moon Empire is truly in turmoil and facing the danger of collapse.

Kong Deming won't just sit there doing nothing.

By then, it will truly be a new world.

Therefore, Jing Hongchen needs to place his bets in advance. His bottom line is to protect the Hongchen family, and his next goal is to pursue something more.

"You two should stay home and cultivate for the time being. Grandpa needs to make some connections," Jing Hongchen said.

"Huh? But I finally made a breakthrough recently, and I was even thinking of sneaking off to Shrek Academy." Xiao Hongchen wailed upon hearing this.

Meng Hongchen's delicate ears, hidden beneath her beautiful hair, twitched, and a look of interest quickly appeared in her eyes.

She hadn't seen Ye Nanxiao for a long time, and her heart was filled with longing.

Her period of seclusion has given her a deeper understanding of her own strength, especially her ability to utilize the power of the Goddess of Silver Dust.

Now, with the help of the Crimson Toad Emperor's origin and the inheritance she received, she has stepped into the mid-stage of Soul Douluo in one go.

If her seclusion hadn't been interrupted, she could have continued to consolidate her realm, compressing her soul power back to the early stage of Soul Douluo, and pursuing a more stable foundation.

"Grandpa, I want to go find Nanxiao," Meng Hongchen said, looking up with anticipation.

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Grandpa lost track of Nanxiao's whereabouts several months ago, and now Grandpa doesn't know where Nanxiao is."

"What? Nanxiao has disappeared?" Meng Hongchen's emotions surged instantly, and a burst of icy power melted the table.

If Meng Hongchen hadn't initially grasped the power, everything in this room would have been annihilated and dissolved.

"Sister! Calm down! Calm down! It can't be like that! Grandpa, don't just say half of what you mean!" Xiao Hongchen quickly got up to comfort her.

Jing Hongchen felt somewhat ashamed. Looking at the anxious Meng Hongchen, he felt as if his own little cabbage had been eaten by a pig.

"Mengmeng, it's not that Nanxiao has disappeared, but that Grandpa's spies are unable to investigate the situation. The situation in each of the four great empires is very tense."

The Heavenly Soul Empire was relatively well-off, able to gather some intelligence, but the Star Luo Empire and the Fighting Spirit Empire were unable to do so.

The Star Luo Empire imposed martial law internally to an extreme degree, while the Dou Ling Empire was in complete chaos.

Meng Hongchen frowned. She hadn't expected so many things to happen in the outside world while she was in seclusion.

Then Nanxiao will definitely need my help!

Meng Hongchen turned and ran out of the meeting room, leaving behind the words, "Grandpa, I've decided to go help!"

Jing Hongchen was getting anxious. Why was this child still disobedient?

The outside world is so dangerous! How much cultivation level do you have, kid?

But it seems that Meng Hongchen had already anticipated Jing Hongchen's worries.

An extreme chill rose in the courtyard, accompanied by powerful fluctuations of soul energy.

"Grandpa, I'll stay in Mingdu and not go out."

Meng Hongchen's voice drifted from afar.

She understood Jing Hongchen's concerns, but running away wasn't the only option to contact Ye Nanxiao.

The second building in Aodu is a very good choice.

Hearing Meng Hongchen's assurance, Jing Hongchen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The external forces are too chaotic right now. Even if Meng Hongchen is quite strong, there's no guarantee that something unexpected might happen.

Seeing that his younger sister had been easily released from confinement, Xiao Hongchen turned to look at Jing Hongchen.

"Grandpa, I think I can get out too. I'm quite strong now!" Xiao Hongchen said confidently.

Jing Hongchen turned her head, her face expressionless.

"Laughing at the world, you've gotten too big for your britches! Then let this old man test your strength!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen shrank back, chuckled awkwardly, and quickly said, "No need, no need!"

"I'll demonstrate! Grandpa, look!"

Xiao Hongchen activated his storage ring with his soul power, sending out dozens of core magic arrays.

Then, Xiao Hongchen was enveloped in a pale golden light, and six tentacles suddenly extended from behind him.

"Metal control!"

The metal tentacles devoured the core magic array and quickly began to condense and take shape.

Liquid metal began to appear on Xiao Hongchen's body and started to transform.

A suit of metal armor took shape.

Then came the metal tentacles, their surfaces becoming angular, and the intricate metal parts, one by one, were connected and activated by the core magic array.

"Metal Recombination!"

Xiao Hongchen's various decorations were made of refined and pure rare metals.

The latest novel is first published here!

After transforming, the six floating cannons hovered around Xiao Hongchen, their muzzles glowing with a faint blue light, radiating a sense of intimidation.

"It really worked!"

Jing Hongchen was excited, her body trembling slightly.

No one understands better than him what the ability to laugh at the mortal world means.

Oh, perhaps Ye Nanxiao knows a lot about this.

As the grandson of the head of Mingde Hall, Xiao Hongchen would not lack knowledge of rare metals and soul tools.

Xiao Hongchen's successful mastery of metal recombination means that he can transform into a mobile turret fortress at any time!

This is a mobile firing position!

And this is an ability that is extremely deceptive to the enemy.

You'll never know what kind of soul tool Xiao Hongchen can conjure up!

Xiao Hongchen thoroughly enjoyed Jing Hongchen's approving gaze.

He reached out and pressed down, "Grandpa, calm down, don't get agitated, this is just basic stuff!"

After a brief moment of excitement, Jing Hongchen asked, "So, Nanxiao had another plan. Did you successfully implement it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Hongchen's smug smile froze on his face.

"Well, transforming into a Gundam is a bit difficult; I've never succeeded before..."

As Xiao Hongchen spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, because Jing Hongchen's gratified expression had faded.

"Xiao Hongchen, your sister Mengmeng has already completed her mission, but you, my good grandson, have not yet completed your mission."

Jing Hongchen produced a bamboo strip.

Xiao Hongchen swallowed hard, a sense of fear ingrained from childhood.

"I'll go back and go into seclusion right now! I won't leave until I've mastered the Gundam!"

After seeing Xiao Hongchen off, Jing Hongchen stood there for a while, then straightened his clothes, took his official badge, and headed towards the Sun and Moon Palace.

With Kong Deming confined and stripped of his post, the operation of the Hall of Worship will most likely be handed over to him to continue the production of soul tools to supply the front-line combat.

As he expected, when he arrived at the gate of the Sun and Moon Palace, there were already eunuchs waiting for him.

"Master of the Red Dust Hall, this way please."

Jing Hongchen followed the eunuch and walked into the palace. Soon, he entered the underground through a secret passage.

He guessed that he must have entered the area of ​​the shrine.

The Hall of Offerings has a large number of research rooms, many of which are places that Jing Hongchen is not qualified to know about.

When they arrived at a huge gate, the eunuch stopped and swiped his card to open it.

"Please come in, Master of the Red Dust Hall."

Jing Hongchen nodded slightly and walked into the laboratory.

The laboratory was messy, with various parts and core magic arrays scattered on the floor, but this messiness could not conceal the immense, murderous aura emanating from it.

Several massive cannons, comparable to war behemoths, were parked there.

Upon seeing this, Jing Hongchen's heart sank.

He had only heard of one type of these soul tools.

Clearly, Xu Tianran brought him here to restart these war behemoths!

Not long after entering the laboratory, Kong Deming met Xu Tianran, who was dressed in an imperial robe.

Xu Tianran's gaze lingered on these war behemoths, his eyes burning with fervor.

"Master of the Red Dust Hall, I believe you are an exceptionally intelligent person. You know how to deal with these war behemoths, don't you?"

Jing Hongchen paused for a moment.

build?

Or not fix it?

Jing Hongchen had no choice.

At least until the opportunity arises.

"It is my honor, Your Majesty."

After bowing, Jing Hongchen began to examine the core magic arrays inside these war behemoths.

Xu Tianran stood by and watched Jing Hongchen work with a smile.

Is this guy trying to keep an eye on me?

Unfortunately, I've dealt with Ye Nanxiao far too many times!

Jing Hongchen took out his storage ring and poured out a pile of refined, pure, rare metals.

Xu Tianran narrowed his eyes and extended his soul power, scanning all the rare metals.

no problem.

After receiving instructions from Xu Tianran, Jing Hongchen picked up the pure rare metal on the ground.

This is a rare metal that the next head of the Hongchen family personally refined for you.

My dear grandson, Grandpa has created an opportunity for you; now it's your turn to shine! (End of Chapter)
