Chapter 163 Guess
"This old guy knows me quite well." Du Bu Si snorted coldly.

Seeing this, Meng Hongchen gave a forced smile.

What she didn't actually say was that her grandfather's original words at the time were that these people included several ninth-level soul mentors, and that this number was not something the Body Sect could afford.

But if this were to be spoken out, I'm afraid it would completely offend the Benti Sect.

After all, she still hopes that the Benti Sect can help rescue her grandfather.

"Senior Du Bu Si, I beg you to save my grandfather." Meng Hongchen forced himself to sit up from the bed. He ignored the advice of others and knelt down on the bed.

"Why should I save him? Besides, even if I can save him, distance is also a problem. From the time you come here to the time I rush over, the sneak attack would probably have ended long ago." Du Bu Si rejected the suggestion.

"No, you can use the ninth-level soul guide my grandfather just gave you. With your strength and this ninth-level soul guide, you can get there in a very short time. Maybe when you get there, my grandfather hasn't failed yet." Meng Hongchen quickly made a suggestion.

"A ninth-level soul guide device, indeed." Du Bu Si took out the ninth-level soul guide device thoughtfully.

“Teacher, you’d better be careful. What if what she said is false? Maybe this is a trap set by Jing Hongchen to trick you and attack you.” Huo Yuhao whispered in Du Bu Si’s ear.

"That makes sense. It's better to be careful." Du Bu Si nodded in agreement.

After all, it was Jing Hongchen who was in trouble. Even if he was rescued, he might not necessarily surrender to himself. If he was not rescued, the Sun Moon Empire would lose a level nine soul engineer of over ninety levels. No matter how you look at it, it would be safer for him not to take action.

"No, my grandfather definitely didn't mean that." Meng Hongchen was so anxious that she almost cried, "As a token of sincerity, I am willing to tell you some secrets in exchange."

"What secret? Tell me about it. If it's really valuable, I can help you out." Du Bu Si said with interest.

"Among the three ninth-level soul guides my grandfather gave you, except for the Red Dust Protection, the other two were slightly modified by my grandfather. Although there is no problem at ordinary times, once a fierce battle occurs, this small problem will instantly become a big problem. This problem is very hidden, but I know how to solve it."

Du Bu Si took out two of his treasured ninth-level soul guides and said, "I knew this thing wasn't that simple. It's true that people become more cunning as they age."

What you said is that you two are just a match made in heaven. Huo Yuhao silently complained in his heart.

Du Bu Si plotted against Jing Hong Chen and stole precious treasures from him, but Jing Hong Chen was no pushover and set a trap in his plan to harm Du Bu Si.

All I can say is that neither of them is an easy target to deal with.

As for the fact that Du Bu Si refused to save Jing Hongchen, Huo Yuhao was actually inclined not to save him.

After all, the benefits of this matter are too little and the risks are too great, so it is completely unnecessary.

But no matter what Huo Yuhao said, in the final analysis, the one who made the decision on this matter was still Du Bu Si himself.

As the leader of the Body Sect, a level 99 Ultimate Douluo, if he doesn't want to listen to opinions, then no one can influence him.

And the answer given by Du Bu Si is.

"I gonna go see."

Du Bu Si did not clearly say whether to save her or not, but he still gave Meng Hongchen hope.

After saying that, Du Bu Si asked Meng Hongchen to repair the two soul guides and showed them to Huo Yuhao, then set off to the place where Jing Hongchen had the accident.

“Miss Hong Chen is seriously injured. She should take a good rest here.” Huo Yuhao sighed and consoled her.

"I know, thank you all very much. If I ever go back in the future, I will definitely repay you with all I have." Meng Hongchen said gratefully.

Huo Yuhao didn't say anything.

No one did anything, just quietly waiting for the results.

And this result came faster than everyone imagined.

In less than a moment, Du Bu Si's figure appeared at the same place, and there was no one else following him.

"We didn't find him. Your grandfather might have escaped, or he might have been captured by them." Du Bu Si gave a concise and clear answer.

After Du Bu died, he only found the ground in a mess, and traces of battles of various styles, but no one was there.

"How could this happen?" Meng Hongchen was a little dazed.

In his understanding, his grandfather Jing Hongchen, even if he was not the best master in the continent, was still one of the top ten strongest men in the entire continent. How could he be captured so easily?
Of course, it is also possible that he escaped with difficulty, but if he escaped with difficulty, why didn't he pick her up first? Was he afraid that he would be attacked by the people of the Body Sect after he arrived at the Body Sect?

Countless questions piled up in Meng Hongchen's mind, making her unable to sleep all night. On the other side, Du Bu Si and Huo Yuhao were also discussing who was behind this incident.

After all, Jing Hongchen is an absolute big shot and plays a very crucial role on this continent.

His life or death will have a certain impact on the situation of the entire continent.

“Is it possible that after the Tianhun Empire or the Xingluo Empire learned of this news, they sent people to attack Jing Hongchen? After all, if Jing Hongchen died, it would be much easier for them to fight the Sun Moon Empire in the future.” Huo Yuhao expressed the first guess in his mind.

Although the ones who took action included evil soul masters and ninth-level soul engineers, this does not mean anything.

After all, if the two empires wanted to hire these people to work for them, how could they not do it?
Besides, what kind of belief do evil soul masters have in being loyal to the emperor and serving the country? They are just a bunch of lunatics who love killing people.

"It's possible, but it's unlikely for the Xingluo Empire, but it's very likely for the Tianhun Empire. The Tianhun Emperor must have an undercover agent in the Body Sect, who got the news through the undercover agent, and then passed the news on through the soul guide, eventually creating this situation. From this point of view, it's very likely." Du Bu Si agreed with Huo Yuhao's guess.

“But wouldn’t it be too obvious? People would be able to tell at a glance that it was you who did it.” Huo Yuhao asked.

"Even if people find out, what can we do? As long as we refuse to admit it, will the Sun Moon Empire go to war with the Sky Soul Empire because of this?"

"If the Sun-Moon Empire wants to go to war, it will only do so after it is fully prepared. If it does not want to go to war, even if another Hongchen dies, the Sun-Moon Empire will not go to war."

"Of course, it's not necessarily done by the Tianhun Empire. It could also be a conflict within the Sun and Moon Empire." Du Bu Si guessed.

"If Jing Hongchen dies, can someone replace Jing Hongchen as the head of Mingde Hall?"

"Of course, Kong Deming is the most promising successor, and he is also a staunch supporter of Crown Prince Xu Tianran."

Huo Yuhao remembered that in the original history, after Jing Hongchen assisted Xu Tianran to ascend the throne, Xu Tianran immediately abandoned Jing Hongchen, abolished his position as the head of Mingde Hall, and demoted him. The new head of Mingde Hall was Kong Deming.

It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no relationship between Kong Deming and Xu Tianran.

If that's the case, it's very likely that the Sun-Moon Empire will take action.

After all, at this point, it is very likely that Xu Tianran, who has gradually gone insane, will take a step ahead to get rid of Jing Hongchen, who does not support him, and replace him with his most staunch supporter Kong Deming.

This matter is very complicated. As long as one of the real culprits is not caught, the truth of this matter will never be solved. Huo Yuhao and Du Bu Si discussed for a long time but could not come up with an accurate answer. In the end, they could only bury this question in their hearts.

"Miss Hongchen, how do you feel?" After Meng Hongchen had been recuperating in the Body Sect for a period of time, her body began to recover gradually, but the scars in her heart were still not healed.

"I feel very good now, thank you for your help. I used to think you were just a villain, but now I realize your strengths." Meng Hongchen said to Huo Yuhao with a smile.

"What's the advantage? Could it be that I can take care of people?"

"That's not the case. After all, it's Su Xiaoxiao who has always been taking care of me. It has nothing to do with you." Meng Hongchen retorted mercilessly.

“What you said does make sense.” Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, nodded, and did not ask any further questions.

"Why are you here? Do you want to see if I have recovered and plan to drive me away?" Hong Chen asked a little nervously.

During this period of time, Meng Hongchen actually thought a lot about why her grandfather was attacked and by which force.

Therefore, Meng Hongchen was a little suspicious at this time.

Except for the Body Sect where she lives now, Meng Hongchen doesn't trust any other forces, including the Sun and Moon Empire where she lives.

Therefore, if possible, Meng Hongchen actually hopes to continue staying in the Body Sect.

"Of course not, I'm here to learn soul guides from you." Huo Yuhao made no secret of his purpose.

“Learn soul guides from me? The difference between our levels is pretty close. How much can you learn from me?” It’s not that Meng Hongchen didn’t want to teach Huo Yuhao, but he thought that there was not much difference between his level and Huo Yuhao’s, so it would be ridiculous for him to teach Huo Yuhao himself.

“Our soul guide levels are the same, but that doesn’t mean there is no gap between us. You have been receiving the most orthodox soul guide education in the Sun-Moon Empire since you were a child, while I only started learning halfway. I want to see how you usually learn, and I want to absorb your strengths.” Huo Yuhao did not hide the gap between the soul guides of the two parties.

In terms of soul guides, let alone the Body Sect, even if all the forces in the entire original Douluo Continent were added together, they could not compare to the development of the Sun Moon Empire.

The gap between the two sides is more than ten or twenty years.

That's a gap of thousands of years.

"Okay then, but let me make it clear first, I cannot reveal anything about the secret soul guide devices of the Sun-Moon Empire. I can only teach you the most basic knowledge about soul guide devices." Having said this, how could Meng Hongchen continue to refuse?

“Okay.” Huo Yuhao agreed with a smile, but this was not because he did not covet the Sun Moon Empire’s secret soul guide.

However, compared to obtaining confidential information from Meng Hongchen, it might be easier to obtain it from Teacher Xuan.

After being caught, Teacher Xuan seemed to accept his fate.

He had only one request to the Benti Sect.

That is, you must give yourself the strongest support, including funding, talent and so on.

For Teacher Xuan, nationality, politics, loyalty or not are not his considerations. He is a pure soul mentor.

For him, pursuing to become a higher-level soul guide and pursuing a more perfect soul guide device are what he wants to do.

So even if he was caught, he was caught. He was just sent to another place to study soul guides.

Besides, the first Extreme Douluo is trying to capture you. Do you still want to resist?
Since I can't even resist, I can only enjoy it.

Especially after discovering that the original martial soul and the soul guide are more compatible, Teacher Xuan burst into great enthusiasm for research.

However, this also brings up a problem. Although Teacher Xuan is willing to teach disciples, he is only willing to teach geniuses.

But it is a pity that there are not many geniuses in soul guidance in the main body sect.

In other words, not many disciples in the Body Sect are inclined to learn soul guides.

As for how to encourage disciples to learn soul guides, that is the task of the sect leader.

After all, as a disciple, Huo Yuhao had already taken all the blame on himself. Did he have to shoulder the blame himself?

Apart from Teacher Xuan, the person who adapted the fastest was Ji Juechen.

In terms of combat capability alone, the disciples of the Benti Sect are superior to those of the Mingde Hall.

Moreover, there are quite a few crazy martial artists in the Body Sect.

It can be said that Ji Juechen felt as comfortable and relaxed as a fish entering the sea when he entered the Body Sect.

Ever since Ji Juechen entered the Body Sect, he has been challenging different people every day.

Especially after meeting Li Qingfeng, compared to Huo Yuhao's impatient rejection, Ji Juechen directly treated Li Qingfeng as his daily training project.

Fight with Li Qingfeng every day to activate my physical condition, and then do other things.

Li Qingfeng was also very happy. After so many years, there was finally someone who was willing to fight with him.

In addition to Li Qingfeng, Long Aotian was also challenged in the season finals.

But as expected, facing Long Aotian, Ji Juechen had no chance of winning even though he used his own domain in time.

Long Aotian is too strong.

Compared with these two people, Orange's condition is quite bad.

After Orange finished talking with Huo Yuhao that day, Orange completely collapsed.

Until recently he still couldn't come out of it.

In the past, he either stayed at home or followed Teacher Xuan to study soul guides. Apart from that, he just wandered around the sect.

There is a feeling that my heart is dead.

The pillar that had supported him for decades collapsed, and no new pillar was established. At this time, Orange was in the most confused period of his life.

He suddenly didn't know what to do next.

　Change first and then change
