Chapter 102: I Didn't Kill Him (Please Order First!!!)
"Miles is dead!"
The entire Gengxin City fell into chaos after dawn.
Who is Miles?
Platinum Bishop!
His status is like that of a Soul Douluo. Even the city lord in Gengxin City dares not show any disrespect to him.
Because of this, even though he was only a Soul Emperor, he was able to act tyrannically in Gengxin City, where there were more than five Soul Saints, and burn, kill, and loot for so many years.
Even Su Ming and Zhu Jiuyang basically walked around him and didn't want to step on this pile of shit unless necessary. Of course, Miles also knew how to appreciate it and never caused any trouble to Zhu Jiuyang's group.
Now Miles is dead.
There were no signs.
The mayor of Gengxin City is under the greatest pressure at the moment. He has been cursing the murderer of Miles for the whole morning.
However, no amount of cursing would help. He could only keep urging the city guards below to seal off Gengxin City and strictly prohibit anyone from entering or leaving.
"There was a leak of spiritual metal, and Miles also got some of it. He must have informed the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall's messenger must have already set off. Miles is dead at this juncture!"
Zhao Tieshan suspected that someone was targeting him.
The benefits of spiritual metals are huge, and the Blacksmith Association is bound to become the vortex of the soul master world. Similarly, the position of the City Lord of Gengxin City, where the Blacksmith Association is located, will definitely be coveted by others.
Zhao Tieshan had thought that he would be banned by various means, but he never thought that the other party would be so bold as to directly kill a platinum bishop.
"The Blacksmith Association must be anxious too. The most urgent task now is to find the murderer. I want to form a united front with them."
Zhao Tieshan felt that it was his competitors who were causing trouble. Similarly, the Blacksmith Association would also think that the person who killed Miles was targeting them.
Blacksmiths Association.
Fifth floor.
Upon hearing the news of Miles' death, all the master blacksmiths who had been practicing in seclusion came out.
Even the taller ones were alarmed.
At this time, in the forging room on the upper floor, a group of people with the highest forging skills in the association gathered.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhu Jiuyang.
The one with the highest cultivation level in the entire association is Zhu Jiuyang, and he also has the greatest background.
Currently, he is the only one in the department that has mastered the key spirit forging technology.
Zhu Jiuyang's expression was relatively calm. He actually had the ability to kill Miles, and he was not afraid of revenge.
At this time, everyone else looked at him. Except for Su Ming, the others were probably wondering whether he had killed Miles.
"I didn't kill Miles."
He spoke first, clarifying himself.
He then began to analyze the causes and consequences of Miles' death.
"Miles' death must be of great relevance to us, and is related to our upcoming cooperation with the major forces in Xingluo and the Spirit Hall."
"Everyone present here is aware that the Association has intended to remain neutral from the outset. It will cooperate with both empires and the Spirit Hall, and on this basis, it will not exclude cooperation with sects."
"But this is our idea, and some people will definitely not be reconciled to this."
"President Zhu, do you think it was the Xingluo Empire that took action this time?" Silong's face looked grim as he expressed a guess.
After the reform of the Blacksmith Association, there are now three presidents, Lou Gao, Su Ming and Zhu Jiuyang, who are actually responsible for the operation of the upper and lower levels. The one who acts as the slave is Su Ming's senior brother Huo Lie.
Strictly speaking, Huo Lie's status is higher than that of Si Long and other former master blacksmiths.
Huo Lie did not come this time because he had sensed an opportunity for a breakthrough and was about to break through level 60, so he went into seclusion.
Silong's guess resonated with everyone present.
Lou Gao couldn't help but nod, agreeing with Silong's guess.
The possibility of the Xingluo Empire taking action is the greatest, because if the Spirit Hall is angered, it will be much more difficult for the Blacksmith Association to maintain neutrality through cooperation with the Spirit Hall.
Gengxin City, after all, was within the Xingluo Empire. Without the Spirit Hall's support, it would be difficult to achieve cooperation with the Tiandou Empire. By making some arrangements later, perhaps the Blacksmith Association could be completely dependent on the Xingluo Imperial Family, serving only them.
"It is also possible that the Spirit Hall directed and performed the show themselves." Su Ming said.
He spoke at this time and provided another idea.
"Miles is not a good person for our association. The Spirit Hall must understand this. Perhaps getting rid of Miles is for better cooperation in the future."
Without the annoying Miles, both sides can accept each other better.
"Furthermore, because a Platinum Bishop died in our cooperation, Spirit Hall can also gain a certain advantage in various aspects, thus gaining an advantage in cooperation. After all, they are already one step behind the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. This move may directly catch up with the leading Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."
Su Ming's logic is also very complete.
After he finished speaking, Lou Gao couldn't help but nodded.
That makes sense.
Duan Jin couldn't help but say, "Couldn't this just be a normal revenge killing?"
"It's unlikely." Zhu Jiuyang said.
While everyone was discussing, there was a knock on the door of the forging room.
Everyone looked at each other, and You Silong went to open the door.
There were two people outside the door, Ning Yuan and Chen Xin.
"Your Majesty, Sword Douluo, please take a seat."
Zhu Jiuyang made a gesture of invitation.
Chen Xin nodded and took a seat. Ning Yuan stood aside. He coughed lightly and the first thing he said was to distance himself from the matter.
"We didn't kill Miles. His death has nothing to do with my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."
"We naturally don't doubt your sect." Zhu Jiuyang said.
Ning Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Also, Elder Bijian has some information that may be useful to you."
oh?
Everyone present focused their attention on Chen Xin.
Honestly speaking, with such a Titled Douluo sitting among them, everyone felt a huge amount of pressure.
At this time, everyone was staring at Chen Xin, feeling uneasy, and felt that they were so bold as to put pressure on a Titled Douluo.
Chen Xin ignored all these twists and turns.
"Two days ago, a Titled Douluo passed through Gengxin City. He had spied on the Association and must have sensed my presence, so he went into hiding."
Titled Douluo?
Su Ming's expression changed slightly.
He looked at Silong.
According to Silong's speculation, the Xingluo Empire is very likely to take action, and everything is in the interests of the Xingluo Empire.
Two days
The auction of the spiritual metal was held four days ago. From the time we obtained the spiritual metal, realized that there was something wrong with it, to sending Titled Douluo to Gengxin City to investigate, was two days enough?
As if knowing that everyone had thought about this, Chen Xin said, "I will start from Gengxin City and reach Xingluo City within a day."
enough!
Chen Xin answered the doubts in everyone's mind.
Because of Chen Xin's information, their guess about the murderer became biased.
Based on the information currently known, the most likely possibility is that the Star Luo Empire took action to kill Miles.
As to whether the Xingluo royal family has a Titled Douluo, this is beyond doubt.
Unlike the Tiandou Empire, which was constantly dividing and delegating power and had numerous sects, the Xingluo Empire's rule was much more unified. There were no divided kingdoms, let alone super sects like the three upper sects.
Under such a system, the Titled Douluo within the Xingluo Empire were naturally concentrated in the Xingluo Royal Family, or more precisely, in the worship hall established by the Xingluo Royal Family.
"Officially, there are three Titled Douluo belonging to the Xingluo Royal Family, namely the current Xingluo Emperor White Tiger Douluo, Star Crown Douluo, and Nebula Douluo."
Chen Xin spoke and listed the three major titles of the Xingluo royal family known to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
"White Tiger Douluo probably won't go out personally. Star Crown Douluo and Nebula Douluo are both known for their stellar power, and Star Crown Douluo's cultivation tends to be more of a support type. If they're sending someone to assassinate him, Nebula Douluo is the most likely."
The Star Crown Martial Soul, which combines powerful attack and auxiliary characteristics, is a very powerful top-level martial soul. The key is that even if it is cultivated as an auxiliary soul master, the cultivation speed will not be reduced.
This is the inherited martial spirit of the Xingluo royal family in the Douluo II era.
Now is the Douyi era, and the Xingluo royal family is still the Dai family that inherited the White Tiger martial spirit.
As for Nebula Douluo, Chen Xin's introduction was similar to the information about Nebula Douluo during the Douluo II period that Su Ming knew - his martial soul was Nebula Fan, which had both agile and powerful attacks, and had excellent hiding and stealth abilities.
This is a powerful martial spirit that has been passed down until the Dou Er period.
Star Crown, Nebula Fan
To be honest, the powerful families of the Xingluo Empire have made great achievements in the attributes of stars.
Su Ming couldn't help but marvel in his heart. The structure of the Xingluo Empire was truly stable. From Dou Yi to Dou II, except for the throne which changed from the Dai family of White Tiger Douluo to the Xu family of Star Crown Martial Spirit, everything else was passed down stably.
