Chapter 78 Robbery during the chaos! The capital of the Sun-Moon Empire is named Sun-Moon City, also known as Mingdu. It is the political and economic core of the Sun-Moon Empire. After coming out of the Demon Forest, Ye Qian'an flew quickly towards the Sun and Moon Empire. When he was about to reach the Mingdu area, he slowed down his flying speed. It was noon at this moment. Ye Qian looked around and saw large buildings under his feet. There seemed to be no end at a glance. Moreover, such a huge Ming capital did not even have city walls. Ye Qian snorted coldly, and after entering Mingdu, he flew southwards. After flying for half a quarter of an hour, he finally saw the southern edge of Mingdu. In the distance, a hexagonal building outlined by lights appeared in front of him. This was the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy is mainly divided into three major areas, namely the teaching area, dormitory area and experimental area. The experimental area occupies more than two-thirds of the area, and the most central area of the experimental area is Mingde Hall, which is also the target location that Ye Qian'an is planning to rob. Ye Qian'an was suspended in mid-air, his eyes fixed on the hexagonal building outlined by lights - the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. The breeze gently blew his clothes, making a rustling sound. Ye Qian'an narrowed his eyes slightly, secretly planning the next steps in his mind. "Eyes of Destruction—Open!" With Ye Qian'an's low cry, the Eye of Destruction on his forehead slowly opened. Through the Eye of Destruction, he could see the layout of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy more clearly. At the same time, his mental power spread around like a tide. "Huo Yuhao has already entered Mingde Hall. Has the Benti Sect not arrived yet?"
Ye Qian'an was suspended in the air with an unusually calm look in his eyes. He slowly took out the soul guides that he had used to rob Jing Hongchen from the storage ring he carried with him, and began to arrange them around Mingde Hall. At the same time, he hid them with the mimicry skill that came with the Eye of Destruction. After setting up the soul guide, Ye Qian'an quietly floated in the air, waiting patiently. The arrival of the Body Sect was only a matter of time, and he had to make foolproof preparations before they showed up. Ye Qian'an raised his head slightly, his eyes always fixed on the direction of Mingde Hall. His mental power extended outward like a dense spider web, not missing any slight movement. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. After an unknown amount of time, a strange change finally appeared in the distant sky. "Boom, boom, boom, boom." Four consecutive roars sounded simultaneously in the huge Mingdetang experimental base. The terrifying explosive force instantly set off a nearly destructive shock wave inside. At least hundreds of soul masters were instantly vaporized when the explosion occurred. Miserable screams mixed with the smell of blood were sprayed out under the influence of the terrifying shock wave. The horrific explosion caused the ground to shake violently. In the huge underground soul guide production base, more than one-third of the people were affected, and there were heavy casualties. Ye Qian'an's eyes narrowed as he looked at the chaotic scene below, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "The people from the Body Sect are here, and my chance has come too." As the explosion ended, a series of figures suddenly emerged from the ground. These people were all dressed in black and were extremely agile. After appearing, they immediately launched a crazy attack around them. Looking down from the air, Ye Qian could see that at the four locations of the explosion, each had a huge hole with a diameter of more than ten meters. These men in black had emerged from those holes. Not only had they planned in advance, but they were also extremely powerful. Once they made their move, they set off a bloody storm. Among the hundreds of people, there were almost no ones below the Soul Saint level. As soon as they appeared, they each displayed their own martial soul true bodies and rushed around wantonly. However, Mingde Hall, as the most powerful soul guide research institute on the continent, is by no means that easy to deal with. After a brief panic, accompanied by the piercing alarm, Mingde Hall's counterattack also began. One after another, huge spiral-shaped soul guides that were more than five meters long protruded from the dome, surrounded by blue-purple light. The sharp points on the front began to shoot out purple light crazily, as if they had eyes, and bombarded towards the people of the Body Sect. At this moment, a figure appeared in mid-air and arrived in the air in a flash. Under the pursuit of countless purple lights, not a single purple light could fall on him. Then, the entire dome turned completely green. Under the cover of that horrible green color, all the soul guides on the dome were melted. "Go." The man stabilized his body in mid-air and waved his hands. In an instant, the melted green liquid splashed everywhere and attacked the surrounding soul guides. "How dare you do this, Du Bu Si!" A roar sounded, and a layer of scarlet light instantly extended horizontally, blocking the large amount of green liquid. Jing Hongchen saw the chaotic scene in the underground base, and his eyes widened and he was furious. Mingde Hall had never suffered such a serious trauma since its establishment. Looking around, the bodies of Mingde Hall's soul mentors were everywhere. Du Bu Si seemed to have not heard Jing Hongchen's voice at all, and shouted coldly, "Kill!" Jing Hongchen also roared, "Don't let any of them go." As he spoke, a strong red light burst out from his body. For a moment, the two sides were engaged in a fierce fight. The collision of soul power and the light of soul guides intertwined together, making the entire Mingdetang experimental base look like a miserable battlefield.
Ye Qian'an calmly examined the situation. Now that both sides were engaged in a fierce battle and their attention was all on each other, this was a perfect opportunity for him to take advantage of the chaos to gain benefits. "Eyes of Destruction—Nothingness!" With a low cry, the Eye of Destruction burst into a strange light, and Ye Qian'an's figure instantly became looming, quietly approaching Mingde Hall. Relying on the void state of the Eye of Destruction, he successfully avoided the soul power fluctuations and soul guide attacks generated by the fierce battle between the two sides, and quickly entered the inner space of Mingde Hall. At this time, the soul guide lights on both sides of the passage were flashing continuously. Relying on the powerful mental guidance of the Eye of Destruction, it then flashed into a passage on the left. A pitch-black metal door opened silently. It was very spacious inside, and it was a laboratory. However, this laboratory was empty. This laboratory is quite large. The circular laboratory has a diameter of more than 100 meters and a height of 30 meters. When Ye Qian'an stepped into it, he was attracted by the huge monster in front of him at first sight. This is a huge humanoid metal body, 15 meters high. The huge body is made entirely of metal. Although it looks a bit simple, the overall structure has been completed. The chest is open, and there seems to be a chair or something like that inside. "I found you, the initial version of the battle armor. With you, I will be very confident in making the battle armor." Ye Qian'an's eyes flashed with excitement. He slowly walked towards the huge humanoid metal body, carefully observing every detail of it. The sound of fighting outside was still fierce, but Ye Qian was immersed in his own world, planning his future. After calming down, he decided to search the laboratory carefully first. Not far away is the lowest metal platform. At this moment, only this platform has some things connected to the metal man. With a flash of his body, Ye Qian'an arrived in front of the platform. It was a piece of stone slightly larger than a palm, like a heart-protecting mirror. In the center was a huge convex lens-shaped gem. The gem itself was light blue with six star lines flashing on it. The strange light was dazzling. "Starlight sapphire is quite interesting. It is just right for this metal man." Ye Qian'an held the huge inlaid starlight sapphire, lifted it up together with the metal magic circle inlaid around it, and quickly injected his soul power into it. At this moment, a ball of blue light seemed to light up above the giant metal man's head, which complemented the bright light flashing on the star sapphire. A blue light shot out from the gorgeous surface of the star sapphire, and the blue light spread radially in the air. The burst of blue light did not last too long. When the light converged, the giant metal man had disappeared. Next, Ye Qian'an was like a swarm of locusts, not leaving out any corner of the laboratory. His eyes of annihilation emitted a mysterious light, and under this light, every detail was clearly visible. Ye Qian quickly moved around the laboratory, opening cabinets one by one, searching for items that might be valuable. He collected some blueprints, rare materials, and even some soul guide parts. As the search continued, Ye Qian found a diary. He opened it and found some key technologies for making the metal man. "Haha, I almost forgot about you, but it's time to leave now, hurry up." The corners of Ye Qian'an's mouth rose slightly, revealing a smug smile. He no longer lingered, and relying on the perception of the Eyes of Destruction, he quietly retreated out of the laboratory. Seeing that the battle between the two sides was still going on, Ye Qian'an immediately took out a remote control, intending to cause more trouble for them. He directly pressed the button of the remote control. In an instant, the soul guides hidden around Mingde Hall were activated. Powerful energy fluctuations swept across the entire battlefield again. The horrifying soul power fluctuations caused the entire space to distort violently. "Not good." Jing Hongchen shouted in shock, and he instantly realized that someone was secretly playing tricks on him. He opened his eyes wide and tried to find the source of this power, but the battlefield was in chaos and he had no way to find it. Du Bu Si sneered. He didn't care what caused this sudden change. He took advantage of the chaos to continue commanding the people of the Body Sect to attack. However, what neither side had expected was that when the sudden attack broke out, a large number of cracks appeared everywhere in the underground base, and countless collapses followed. "Buzz—boom—" The earth shook and the mountains trembled. A terrifying roar like a dragon turning over instantly exploded in this underground world. All the protective shields were shattered in an instant by the horrific explosion. The huge explosive force turned the underground base into a mess. The Body Sect also suffered the aftermath of the explosion, but only Du Bu Si was the one who suffered. A mouthful of dark green blood spurted out of the mouth of this powerful Extreme Douluo. With the help of Du Bu Si's resistance, the Body Sect's strong men retreated back to the tunnel, and even took away the bodies of their dead companions. Du Bu Si looked at Jing Hongchen somewhat unwillingly. Jing Hongchen also spat out a mouthful of blood at this time, not knowing whether it was caused by the shock wave or by anger. The two powerful men looked at each other, and there was a hint of teasing in Du Bu Si's eyes. He stretched out his right hand, with his thumb pointing down, and shook it for a while before he flashed away. "Chase!" Jing Hongchen shouted angrily and turned into a stream of light to chase towards the tunnel. A group of Mingdetang strong men also took action. The underground base of Mingde Hall was in a mess. In addition to the Mingde Hall masters who chased out, a group of people with weaker cultivation stayed behind to rescue the wounded. Huo Yuhao, who was innocently affected, was naturally also within the scope of the rescue efforts. He was soon found, and after being confirmed to be still alive, he was carried to a relatively safe area nearby. Standing in the underground base, Jing Hongchen looked at everything in front of him and could only describe it as shocking. The entire underground base was in chaos and was completely dilapidated.
"Body Sect, what a great Body Sect! If I find out who the person who launched the sneak attack is, I will make you pay a heavy price!" Jing Hongchen said gritting his teeth, with flames of anger burning in his eyes. He looked around at the devastated underground base, his heart filled with grief and resentment. Mingdetang, as the pride of the Sun Moon Empire, had suffered such a heavy blow, which was hard for him to accept. Jing Hongchen took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. Now was not the time to be angry. He had to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, count the losses, and strengthen the defense to prevent something like this from happening again. He began to direct the remaining people to carry out rescue and cleanup work, and at the same time sent people to investigate the identity of the attackers. Jing Hongchen secretly vowed in his heart that he must find out the mastermind behind the scenes and avenge Mingdetang's losses. "Hall Master." Lin Jiayi came to Jing Hongchen with a slightly trembling voice, lowered his head and did not dare to look at him. "What's the situation?" Jing Hongchen asked "The situation at the warehouse is okay. Nothing is lost and the high-level soul guides stored are all there, but..." Lin Jiayi said hurriedly, and looked at Jing Hongchen hesitantly at the end. Jing Hongchen looked at Lin Jiayi's hesitation and felt his heart tighten again: "But what? Don't hesitate, just speak clearly." Lin Jiayi gritted his teeth and said in a trembling voice: "But, Experimental Subject No. 1 is missing..." "What?" Jing Hongchen only felt his vision go dark, his body swayed and he almost fell down. He felt as if the sky was falling, his chest was stuffy and he felt so uncomfortable as if he was about to die. "Say it again." This time, even his voice became a little trembling. Lin Jiayi said in a trembling voice: "Subject No. 1 is missing." Jing Hongchen screamed "wow", spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell directly into Lin Jiayi's arms. Jing Hongchen's face turned pale instantly. He never expected that in this chaos, the most important experimental subject No. 1 would be missing. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Mingde Hall. Lin Jiayi held onto Jing Hongchen in panic, his heart filled with guilt and anxiety. He also had an unshirkable responsibility for the disappearance of Subject No. 1. "Quick, block all exits, check everyone strictly, and make sure to find Subject No. 1!" Jing Hongchen gave the order while suppressing his physical discomfort. Everyone in Mingde Hall immediately took action, and the entire academy fell into a tense atmosphere. They searched everywhere, leaving no corner untouched, but Subject No. 1 seemed to have disappeared without a trace. At the same time, in a secluded place far away from Mingde Hall, Ye Qian'an had dismantled all the soul guides he had arranged, and was looking at the huge humanoid metal body - Subject No. 1 - with satisfaction, lying quietly in his special storage space. After making sure there was no danger, he quietly flew away from the Sun and Moon Empire. His figure flashed in the sky without leaving any trace. In Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen looked at the busy crowd with a gloomy face. His heart was filled with anger and anxiety. The disappearance of Subject No. 1 made him feel unprecedented pressure. If he could not find Subject No. 1, not only would he be unable to explain to his superiors, but the reputation of Mingde Hall would also suffer great damage. "Increase the search intensity. Even if we have to turn the entire Ming city upside down, we must find Subject No. 1!" Jing Hongchen once again issued a stern order. Under the pressure from Jing Hongchen, the people of Mingde Hall searched even more desperately. However, what they didn't know was that Experimental Subject No. 1 was already out of their control. ………… (End of this chapter)
