Chapter 303 Going Home
Of course, although the power of space can cause harm to the surrounding things if it is not mastered properly, at the same time, if the power of space can be used properly, it can also be a powerful weapon for the user.
However, what Meng Hongchen needs to solve right now is not the weapon, but another thing.
“I say, what are you doing?” Just as Meng Hongchen was immersed in shock, a faint voice came from inside the collapsed cave.
Meng Hongchen turned his head and saw a figure walking out of the darkness.
Wang Dong’er was covered in dust, looking like a statue that had not been taken care of for a long time.
“Well, there was a small problem just now. Are you okay?” Meng Hongchen stepped forward awkwardly to help Wang Donger sweep away the dirt on her body.
“It’s okay.” Although she said it was okay, the look Wang Donger gave Meng Hongchen still made Meng Hongchen feel extremely embarrassed.
“Your cave is gone, how are you going to practice next?” Wang Dong’er asked with a frown as he looked at the cave that had completely disappeared.
Meng Hongchen was silent for a moment and then said, “I plan to leave for a while.”
Without waiting for Wang Dong’er to ask, Meng Hongchen took the initiative to explain: “I have been worried about my grandfather and others recently. I didn’t have the ability to help them before, but now I think I should be able to rescue them from that quagmire.”
Speaking of this, there was both hope and worry in Meng Hongchen’s eyes.
When Meng Hongchen met Du Bu Si in the Xingdou Great Forest before, he learned about the current war situation from the other party, and he couldn’t help but worry about his family.
So after discovering that he had mastered the power of space, Meng Hongchen decided to go back and rescue his family.
Of course, they said they were rescuing the family, but in reality, there was only one person who really needed to be saved.
“Xiao Hongchen, is your grandfather still sick?” Xu Tianran, who was reviewing memorials in a huge and luxurious carriage, suddenly asked.
Xiao Hongchen, who was guarding outside the carriage, was startled and replied respectfully, “Your Majesty, my ancestor was seriously injured and is still recuperating. However, he wrote to me yesterday and specially sent me a ninth-level soul guide, and told me to give it to Your Majesty.”
“A ninth-level soul guide? Ha.” Xu Tianran sneered, his dissatisfaction almost overflowing.
“Xiao Hongchen, do you think that if the Sun-Moon Empire is destroyed, will the Hongchen clan still be the Hongchen clan?” Xu Tianran’s words were understated, but they were like a bomb in Xiao Hongchen’s heart.
“The Hongchen clan will always be the Hongchen clan of the Sun-Moon Empire, and will always be your Majesty’s Hongchen clan.” Xiao Hongchen replied with a cold sweat.
“I hope Jing Hongchen thinks so too.” After saying that, Xu Tianran left a sentence and no longer paid attention to Jing Hongchen.
But Xiao Hongchen’s mood did not calm down.
After finally finding some free time, Xiao Hongchen quickly called his servant and said, “Go back immediately and give this letter to Grandpa. Remember to be quick.”
“Yes, young master.” The servant was an old member of the Red Dust Clan. He was loyal and reliable and could be absolutely depended on.
Then Xiao Hongchen caught up with the team again.
Their team set out from Mingdu of the Sun and Moon Empire and headed for the front line. Because of the previous rebellion, Xu Tianran spent some time in Mingdu to calm the matter down, and then rushed to the front line.
Ever since he defected to Xu Tianran, Xiao Hongchen has always been Xu Tianran’s close minister. It was also after he defected to Xu Tianran that Xiao Hongchen understood why everyone had been advising him not to defect to His Majesty in the beginning.
There is no other reason. His Majesty seems to be generous and friendly, but in fact, he has no humanity at all. He is like a domineering political machine.
As the saying goes, serving a king is like serving a tiger, and Xiao Hongchen really experienced it on the other person.
But this is also the only choice.
At the beginning, Meng Hongchen was taken away by the Benti Sect, and Jing Hongchen was attacked and withdrew from the political stage. For a time, the Hongchen family had no position in politics.
Xiao Hongchen then surrendered to this emperor who was then the crown prince for the benefit of his family.
Even though Jing Hongchen is powerful and is a ninth-level soul engineer, what can he do in front of the Sun and Moon Empire?
He still obeyed the orders of Emperor Sun and Moon, even though the other party’s strength was far inferior to his.
After the convoy had traveled for a day, the commander found a location and the convoy stopped immediately.
As the motorcade of Xu Tianran, the emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire, this motorcade is not as powerful as imagined. This is because Xu Tianran was travelling in secret on this trip and naturally could not bring too many people with him.
However, no matter how weak he is, he is accompanied by a Titled Douluo.
There are even quite a few Soul Fighters in the team.
Logically speaking, there should be no problem with such a team.
But for some reason, Xiao Hongchen felt something was wrong in his heart.
But he couldn’t tell what was wrong.
The convoy continued on this road, and it was very quiet along the way.
Although they said they were retreating, there were actually nearly 1000 soldiers guarding the carriage.
These soldiers are all elite soldiers. It can be said that these soldiers are quite powerful. With such an elite group of soldiers here, if you don’t have some strength, you probably won’t dare to charge.
But today the accident happened so suddenly.
Even Xu Tianran himself did not expect that he would be attacked in his own empire.
Especially when he was checking his identity and coming over here.
This means that the person who wants to attack me not only knows my whereabouts, but also has people around me.
This is enough to show that the person who arranged everything behind the scenes must be in a high position, otherwise it would be impossible to achieve this.
While he was wondering who had done this, the soul masters outside, who had been on high alert, stepped forward one after another to block the carriage.
The remaining one thousand soldiers raised their guns and fought fearlessly.
The people on the other side saw this scene and didn’t take it seriously. They knew about it before they came and knew the situation of this convoy very well.
Therefore, when faced with the fully armed soldiers on the opposite side, the people who came to attack did not panic, but responded calmly.
One thing can show that the person who can train such an army must be very powerful.
And it is very likely that he is a prince with considerable power.
As a prince of the Sun-Moon Empire, he is very powerful. Coupled with previous events, he naturally has the capital and motivation to do this.
And most importantly, they were really dissatisfied with Xu Tianran.
The only thing that Cu Tianran couldn’t understand was that he had already killed these people in the imperial capital, so how come such a short time had passed and these guys dared to oppose him again?
In fact, this is not a problem for these princes.
For them, if they were bullied like this and didn’t resist, then what were they still living for in this world? Of course, on the other hand, because they now had new choices, Xu Tianran was no longer that important to them.
After all, an emperor who cannot lead the entire country to victory will gradually reduce his prestige.
The people under his command will gradually lose confidence in the emperor as he becomes more incompetent.
Everyone understands this, and perhaps Xu Tianran also knows it, but a man as proud as him is absolutely unwilling to admit it.
Therefore, even if you really know, you can only pretend not to know.
But after this time, Xu Tianran had no choice but to know.
This group of people were all dressed in black to conceal their appearance, and they moved quickly. It didn’t take long from the time they appeared to the time they engaged in battle.
Soon the two sides became entangled with each other.
But even so, the Titled Douluo and Soul Douluo who were responsible for protecting Xu Tianren still did not show up.
They understood that the other party’s methods would definitely not be so simple, and they must have a backup plan.
Sure enough, the next moment, in Xiao Hongchen’s horrified eyes, dozens of masters flew out of the forest and attacked Xu Tianran with a fierce attitude as soon as they appeared.
But unfortunately, this is of no use.
When they entered Xu Tianran’s vicinity, several hidden figures suddenly jumped up and rushed forward together.
After a round of probing in the air, both sides realized that the other party was no simple character, so they retreated with confidence.
“Everyone, we are determined to kill this man this time. If you are willing to make way for us, we will be very grateful.”
This is bullshit!
It has come to this point, how could anyone possibly give way to you?
But if you try twice, maybe you will get an unexpected reward?
It’s a pity that these people might have been wrong.
Although Xu Tianran did not do well enough, it is still far from the point where these closest subordinates would abandon him.
Therefore, the men responsible for protecting Xu Tianran rushed forward without saying a word.
The war is about to start.
At this time, Xu Tianran was still calmly handling state affairs in the carriage. The soldiers were fighting bravely outside. Xiao Hongchen was mixed in among them. Although he was fighting all the time, he did not actually use all his strength.
After all, Xiao Hongchen was still quite worried that if his strength was too outstanding, those Titled Douluo would take the opportunity to get rid of him.
The emperor’s life is precious, but my own life is more precious!
Even if others don’t know, doesn’t Xiao Hongchen know?
Xu Tianran looked quiet and like a person without fighting ability, but in fact, his cultivation was far beyond many people.
Xiao Hongchen even suspected that Xu Tianran had deliberately become a Titled Douluo.
So protecting others is not important, protecting yourself is the most important!
Soon, the chaotic battle situation gradually determined the winner as time went by.
The men in black who launched the sneak attack were no match for the opponent after all. After several of them died in succession, they could not withstand the pressure and fled.
In fact, Xiao Hongchen had noticed this a long time ago.
The reason is also very simple.
You know, for a soul master, the martial soul is the symbol of a soul master. For those famous masters, even if others don’t know their faces, as long as their martial soul appears, others can recognize their identities instantly.
This is also the reason why assassinations do not occur so frequently in the world of soul masters.
After all, only by using force can one kill the other party, but using force will also expose one’s own identity.
For soul masters, it is actually similar.
Although soul engineers do not often use soul skills, the soul guides they make are all very famous.
During this sneak attack, this group of people deliberately used soul guides that were not suitable for them in order to conceal their identities, and were eventually defeated when facing masters of the same level.
Since you have committed the serious crime of assassinating the king, what else is there to hide?
To be honest, Xiao Hongchen really didn’t understand the actions of this group of people.
Doing this will do nothing except die slower.
Then Xiao Hongchen began to lead his men to clean up the battlefield.
It was said to be tidying up the battlefield, but in fact it was basically just collecting spoils of war. After all, for those of them who had served in the military and fought in the war, this was a very generous reward.
On the other side, the Titled Douluo who had just experienced a great battle also went to Xu Tianran to report the previous situation.
However, when Xiao Hongchen looked towards the carriage, he found that the behavior of the Titled Douluo seemed a little abnormal, and before Xiao Hongchen could react.
The next moment, the seemingly respectful Titled Douluo suddenly revealed his martial spirit, and a black spear condensed in his hand and stabbed towards the carriage.
Because the distance was so close, even if someone saw this scene, there was nothing they could do and they could only watch the black spear pierce into the carriage.
The Titled Douluo was ecstatic, and then his ninth soul ring lit up. The Titled Douluo opened his bloody mouth, and blood-colored energy burst out from it in an instant.
In just a short moment, a huge hole was created outside the carriage.
Just when this Titled Douluo thought that Xu Tianran would no longer live, a faint voice came from the smoke and dust.
“Is this just enough strength?”
The ecstasy on the Titled Douluo’s face froze in an instant. The next moment, the carriage exploded from the inside, and the wooden boards broke apart in all directions. Just like before, Xu Tianran held the black spear in one hand, his face calm, as if he had encountered nothing.
“You!!” The Titled Douluo looked at Xu Tianran in surprise. After he realized what was happening, he turned around and tried to flee without saying a word.
Xu Tianran sighed, then turned around and held the black spear and threw it at the other party.
In an instant, the black spear turned into a purple real dragon, roaring and flying towards the Titled Douluo.
next moment–
The purple true dragon pierced through the chest of the Titled Douluo, who let out a painful roar, and then fell from mid-air like a toy, smashing onto the ground. His body was torn into pieces in an instant, and there was no life left.
