The ultimate transmission fear beast stands on the Douluo Continent.

Chapter 431: Covetous Malice

"Long time no see, 'Sang Hammer'."

A middle-aged man with pale complexion, wearing a proper aristocratic suit, leaned against the window, elegantly raised the red wine glass in his hand and shook it gently, with a gentle look as if he was flirting.

And ‘Sangchui’, or should I call him Tang Gui, nodded slightly and said, “Yes, long time no see, ‘Red Disaster Star’.”

After receiving the response from his old friend, the middle-aged man "Red Star of Disaster" smiled slightly, and the action of shaking the cup became noticeably lighter. The dark red wine was like a liquid gem, and every drop of it flashed a mysterious glow under the dim soul guide lamp.

The rich aroma of wine slowly filled the entire room, as if you were deep in the vineyard, totally immersed in the gift of nature.

Judging from his actions, others might mistakenly think that the middle-aged man is an experienced wine taster, ready to carefully taste the contents of the glass.

But everyone present knew the character of the "Red Disaster Star" very well, and guessed that he would not say anything good next.

As expected, after taking a sip, Red Star frowned and said, "How long has it been since we last met? Twelve years? Thirteen years?"

"Thirteen years."

"Okay, thirteen years."

Recalling the good memories of framing the two top forces together, Red Star of Disaster shrugged his shoulders and said dissatisfiedly: "So, you use this thing to entertain old friends who you haven't seen for thirteen years?"

Noticing his impatience, Tang Gui narrowed her eyes and said, "We'll talk about the hospitality next time. You better hold it in for now."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man suppressed his restlessness and chuckled, "Sure, sure, no problem."

After saying that, he put down the shaking red wine glass in his hand, lifted a corner of the curtain, and his eyes reflected the crowd laughing and talking happily in the night.

"I like places with a lot of people. Even though it's noisy, it always makes me happy."

"Guess why?"

It was the aristocratic's unnecessary social etiquette again. Tang Gui, whose ears were almost calloused, said in a bad tone: "Don't guess, just speak directly."

As expected, he didn't beat around the bush. The Red Star of Disaster, who was used to Tang Gui's style, didn't get angry. He held up five fingers and said, "One price, five hundred."

Tang Gui hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "Don't forget the Spirit Temple, how about fifty?"

"Fifty?"

"Red Disaster Star" was stunned.

Others cut the price by one-tenth, but you still have one-tenth left. Is this bargaining technique popular in Tiandou City recently?
Then he came to his senses.

Yes, this is Tiandou City, which belongs to the sphere of influence of the Spirit Temple. Having lived in border towns for many years and not going to big cities, he almost forgot that the Spirit Temple suppressed people like them almost like blood.

Do five hundred of them right under the nose of the Spirit Temple?

It’s about right to have five hundred soul masters chasing after him.

However, it was impossible to admit his mistake. Red Star of Disaster ignored the question from Spirit Hall and said with his hands spread out: "Fifty are not enough to fill my teeth... Well, for the sake of our old friendship, I will give you a discount."

Crossing his index fingers, Red Disaster said, "Twenty, but I want ten with noble status. With your public circle, ten nobles shouldn't be difficult."

"."

Tang Gui was silent.

He wanted to refuse. After all, killing twenty people in Tiandou City in three days was a bit too much, even for a Soul Sage.

However, the Red Star of Disaster's preemptive concession made it impossible for him to refuse.

If someone voluntarily gives in, it would be impolite to chop them down again.

Thinking that he would need his help tomorrow, it was not impossible to finish the task with twenty people gritting their teeth. Tang Gui thought for a while and finally nodded: "Deal."

Aren’t they just twenty twelve-year-old virgins, ten of whom are of noble status? With Yuexuan’s intelligence network, it would be easy to kidnap ten of them.

Speaking of which, Princess Xue Ke, who was sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, seems to be exactly twelve years old this year.

"Kakakaka——"

Just as Tang Gui lowered his head in deep thought, a strange, dry laugh suddenly came from the corner behind him: "Did you agree?"

The two men turned around at the same time and bowed their heads to a bald old man curled up in the corner and said, "Yes, Lord Dead Coffin, we have finished our discussion."

"Kachaka, that's good."

Blinded by a pure black rag, the 'Dead Coffin' grinned, revealing the few remaining teeth in his mouth: "Sangchui, Red Star of Disaster, we are both true shadows forced by the false light, and we should live in peace with each other."

The two men lowered their heads, without any resentment of being taught a lesson. They answered respectfully with respect and conviction, "Yes, I have learned your lesson."

No one would have thought that two heinous and depraved people would remain restrained in front of an old man.

Part of it is because of strength.

Even if the two Soul Saints joined forces, they could not defeat one of the four apostles under the Holy Spirit Church's leader, the Apostle of Death, the 81st level Soul Douluo "Death Coffin".

Even though he was the weakest and had the worst record among the four apostles due to his position, he could defeat at least a hundred normal Soul Saints with his evil spirit and secret techniques.

As for the rest, they simply respected the old man in front of them.

The reason is simple. Every evildoer has his or her savior, and every garbage has its own place of refuge.

The Holy Spirit Church is such a place.

Don't think that the fallen are heartless and desireless. Deeply influenced by the seven evil sins, their emotions are even more sensitive than ordinary people.

Scum, villain, scourge, bug.
In the eyes of the fallen, no matter whether their fall is active or passive, they will almost have to experience their relatives and friends turning against each other, face the malice of everyone, and be oppressed by the high-ranking "big villain" Spirit Hall.

When the Holy Spirit Church, which was full of the same kind, descended from the sky like a savior, no matter whether it was the born evil Yu Xiaogui, or the madman shaped by misfortune, out of the mentality of sticking together for warmth, no newly fallen person who was still in a confused period after the sudden change could refuse such a wonderful and happy family.

Tang Gui, who was born in the Haotian Sect, the first of the three major sects, but was born twisted, is no exception.

"good,"

The old man nodded in satisfaction at their performance. He stood up from the corner, grabbed their hands and put them together: "We are both awakened people who have seen through the illusory world. We should move forward together."

"Yes, Lord Coffin." x2
Tang Gui and "Red Disaster Star" smiled at each other. For two people with similar experiences, everything was self-explanatory.

Soon, Tang Gui came back to his senses from the inexplicable atmosphere of "villains cherishing villains" and asked "Dead Coffin": "Lord Dead Coffin, regarding the timing of tomorrow's attack, do we need to make corresponding preparations in advance?"

After hearing this, before Death Coffin could speak, Red Star of Disaster asked curiously, "Sangchui, from your tone, it seems like you already know which side will win in the end."

Glancing at the Red Star of Disaster, Tang Gui nodded slightly and said firmly: "Well, the winner in the end will definitely be the Royal Fighting Team."

"you sure?"

"Sang Hammer" is usually known for his steadiness, otherwise he wouldn't be able to control his Fallen instincts and thrive in Tiandou City.

It was a rare opportunity to hear his conclusion before the dust settled. Red Star of Disaster smiled and teased, "The prediction in the Tiandou Weekly is nine to six. Did you get inside information?"

Compared to the All-Continental Soul Master Competition where half of the contestants are unfamiliar with the Academy, the "Tiandou Star Championship" where all the contestants are local aces is obviously more attractive to the audience within Tiandou City.

Before the competition started, someone leaked some effective cases of modern communication through Xue Qinghe. The person in charge of Tiandou Weekly undoubtedly listened to it.

Borrowing the name of the royal family, fifteen soul masters who were related to the participating academies and were well-known in the soul master world were invited on the eve of the finals to briefly analyze the situation of the finals before the competition began.

There are captains and team members who have made great contributions to Tiandou Royal Academy, as well as rising stars in the spirit master world after graduating from other academies.

After receiving the letter with the royal seal, the scattered soul masters were briefly surprised, and then gladly accepted this unexpected invitation.

Little-known fact: before Shrek Academy actually unified the continent, the vast majority of academy graduates did not take the academy they graduated from too seriously.

There was no way, we were all adult spirit masters, and the bond established during the academy period would eventually fade as we went our separate ways. The situation on the continent was peaceful, and there was no need for spirit masters to gather together in academies, sects, or countries to keep each other warm as they would ten thousand years later.

However, not paying attention does not mean ignoring.

After all, the Soul Master Academy is a paradise that protects them and allows them to safely pass through their growth period. It is rare for them to have a legitimate reason to return to their hometown. They are happy to show off in front of their juniors and tell stories about their fight against the great devil, the Spirit Hall.

Everything went well in the early and middle stages of communication. Through a round-table meeting, each with a recorder, fifteen soul masters sat together and spoke freely.

Everyone tacitly praised me and I praised you. We first talked about the past when we were high-spirited, and then analyzed the specific performance of the team members of each college based on the schedule and related records, combined with our own travel experience.

The part that is more recognized by the public is that Gu You received all fifteen votes in the selection of powerful attack spirit masters, thus solidifying his position as the strongest powerful attack spirit master of the younger generation in the Tiandou Empire.

Next was Xiao Wu. Her outstanding performance in kicking away a disciple of the Elephant Armor Sect, coupled with the praise from the veteran soul master Zhao Wuji, helped her win the first place in the selection of output-type agile attack soul masters, beating Feng Xiaotian who was shamefully eliminated in the first round.

The most conflicting opinions are about the vote for the final winner.

In the eyes of most people, the Royal Fighting Team with ten Soul Sects will have an overwhelming advantage even in the final.

Just like in the previous two rounds, it is not a bad idea to end the battle before the team battle.

However, he did not expect that among the fifteen invited guests, as many as six people believed that Tianshui Academy, which had only four Soul Masters, was more likely to win in the end.

Not only the famous masters of the Elemental Academy, but even a senior Soul Emperor who also graduated from the Tiandou Royal Academy, believed that Tianshui Academy had a higher chance of winning.

This result was beyond everyone's expectations.

The reasons given by those who chose Tianshui College were very consistent.

Five big words——Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

A typical example is Cai Siyu, the captain who led Tianshui College to the top four in the All-Continental Soul Master Competition twenty-two years ago, and the newly-crowned Soul Saint who earned the name "Shuangqing" on the outskirts of the Far North.

Cai Siyu said: "This year's Royal Fighting Team may be the strongest Royal Fighting Team in history."

"The veteran team members who participated in the previous All-Continental Soul Master Competition have grown successfully, and the new recruits not only have outstanding cultivation talents, but also show even stronger strength than the veteran team members on the field. Especially Gu You, who is also a Soul Master but was able to defeat the Elephant Armor Academy with one move. I would never have dared to think about it in my era."

"But unfortunately, the strongest Royal Fighting Team met the Tianshui Academy, which had the best chance of turning defeat into victory."

She changed the topic and shifted the focus of the comparison from individuals to the collective: "The martial soul fusion technique is recognized by the soul master world as the strongest method. It may not be as comprehensive as the domain, but in terms of power alone, the domain cannot catch up with the martial soul fusion technique."

"I believe that even if Gu You is the strongest offensive type of the new generation, he can't jump two levels and withstand the attack of the Soul Emperor level."

Because Cai Siyu had faced off against the Nether White Tiger of Xingluo Royal Academy, her words were particularly convincing.

She believed that Tianshui College would use all means to drag the game into a team battle. Once it entered a team battle, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er's top martial arts fusion skills would be unstoppable.

As for Tianshui College's method of pulling the game into a team battle, Cai Siyu remained silent.

The idea of ​​"Red Disaster Star" is similar to what Cai Siyu expressed in the newspaper.

As a top-level martial soul fusion skill, the Ice Phoenix has a large-scale attack at the Soul Emperor level. It would be useless even if 14 Soul Masters attacked together, let alone 10.

The Dai family, the royal family of Xingluo next door, was able to keep the empire standing amidst the bloody and horrific internal strife because of their top-level martial soul fusion skill, the Nether White Tiger, with the Zhu family.

Knowing how powerful the physical attacker Nether White Tiger is, you will have a better understanding of how terrifying the special attacker Ice Phoenix is, whose quality is slightly higher than that of Nether White Tiger.

"Haotian Douluo."

Facing the doubt, Tang Gui said in a deep voice: "Gu You from the Royal Fighting Team gives me the same feeling as Haotian Douluo when he was young."

Red Disaster Star raised his eyebrows and said dumbly: "Hey, hey, hey, you are not talking about..."

Tang Gui closed his eyes, and a figure wielding a hammer and looking down upon the world appeared in his mind. He whispered two words: "Tang Chen."

This time, not only the "Red Disaster Star", but even the "Dead Coffin" who had been silent all this time was stunned.

Tang Yuehua completely misunderstood Tang Gui's meaning. In her opinion, Haotian Douluo was Tang Hao's title. But for the Holy Spirit Church, the two words "Haotian" that were famous all over the world were a title that belonged exclusively to Tang Chen.

Only a man who can stand on equal footing with the true pinnacle of the angel lineage is worthy of bearing the name of "Haotian".

Tang Gui is about the same age as Tang Yuehua. Normally, he shouldn't know how strong Tang Chen was when he was young.

But the current leader of the Holy Spirit Church and Tang Chen's peers had personally experienced Tang Chen's rise and witnessed his confrontations with Qian Daoliu many times.

At Tang Gui's request, the leader used the secret method of the Holy Spirit Church. Tang Gui risked becoming a fool and accepted the memories instilled by the leader, and saw the heroic figure of Tang Chen when he was young.

"Kachaka, interesting, very interesting."

Dead Coffin laughed: "Tang Chen has been missing for many years, but a young man with strength comparable to Tang Chen has appeared on the mainland. Could this little guy named Gu You be Tang Chen's reincarnation?"

If it wasn't for the most important business, "Dead Coffin" would have found an opportunity to kidnap the person no matter what.

Now, he could only reluctantly give up the best research material and order Tang Gui as one of the Four Apostles: "Tianshui Academy is indeed not enough to be a match for the young Tang Chen. The Sang Hammer is in your hands."

Tang Gui bowed his head and said, "Yes, Master Dead Coffin. I will offer you the artificial soul bone you desire with both hands."

"."

"."

After a brief silence, "Dead Coffin" turned to ask another question: "Sangchui, I heard that you recently met a good seedling with nowhere to go. Are you going to recommend him to the leader?"

"Yes, Lord Coffin."

There was no need to hide anything among the fallen, Tang Gui replied: "He has cut off the last retreat for the sake of power, and he will become our true companion in the near future."

"He is also a scholar. I'm sure he and you have a lot in common."

"Kachaka, is that so?"

Tang Gui’s words made Dead Coffin very happy.

The reason why the Fallen can continue to exist today is because of the Fallen Scholars who have come one after another. Although there has never been a break in the generation, there are not enough to allow two to appear at the same time.

"Dead Coffin" asked expectantly, "What about the others?"

"Going to hunt souls."

Tang Gui lowered his head: "He is too weak now and can't help us for the time being. When the matter is accomplished, I will bring him to meet Master Dead Coffin as soon as possible."
