As soon as these words were spoken, Kong Deming's face changed drastically.
But before he could say anything, Ye Ling continued.
"If I don't find an object to test something like a fixed-type soul guide cannonball, how can I know its power?"
"Of course we still have to avoid some towns where ordinary people live."
Having said this, Ye Ling looked at Bai He beside him.
"Senior Bai He, the Fire Leopard Sect's headquarters isn't located in a densely populated area, right?"
Bai He quickly shook his head upon hearing this.
"The Fire Leopard Sect's headquarters is in a valley near an extinct volcano. There are no towns around."
In fact, Bai He still doesn't understand it.
He didn't even know what an eighth-level fixed-type soul guide shell was.
However, when he saw the expression on the face of Kong Deming, the Titled Douluo, he knew that the matter was probably not simple.
"Now, Master Kong can rest assured, right?"
Ye Ling glanced at Kong Deming.
"The fixed-type soul guide shells we wasted a lot of resources to create are not just for show. This is a good opportunity for me to see how powerful they are."
"Yes, Young Master."
Kong Deming was silent for a moment and finally nodded.
"Senior Bai He, where is the exact location of the Fire Leopard Sect?"
Ye Ling looked at Bai He and asked.
"In the Black Rock Valley within the Xingluo Empire!"
"Sister Yulai, lead the way. I'll go with you."
Ye Ling instructed Leng Yulai.
Black Rock Valley is a valley within the Xingluo Empire that is rich in fire-attribute energy.
It is said that this place was originally a volcano, and the black rocks in the valley are the obsidian left after the volcanic eruption.
Later, a violent volcanic eruption formed the current valley.
As one of the top forces on the continent, this precious land was naturally occupied by the Fire Leopard Sect.
"Master, would it be a bad idea for us to just kill the person sent by the Min clan to deliver the letter?"
Inside the main hall of the Fire Leopard Sect, Huo Yue looked at Huo Lie who was sitting on the Sect Master's throne and said hesitantly.
"They are just the Min clan. What's the big deal if we kill their people?"
Huo Lie played with the invitation from Butian Pavilion, a look of disdain flashing across his face.
"Besides, we have already lost the trust of the Spirit Hall after the last attack on the Min clan."
"This is a good opportunity. It's our pledge of allegiance to the Spirit Hall."
Huo Yue frowned and spoke after pondering for a while.
"But the Min clan is here to deliver the invitation on behalf of the Bu Tian Pavilion. Wouldn't we be deeply offending the Bu Tian Pavilion by doing this?"
"It is said that the Bu Tian Pavilion is filled with powerful people, and is not inferior to the Spirit Hall in any way."
"Even in Gengjin City within the Xingluo Empire, there's a Titled Douluo from the Butian Pavilion stationed there!"
Compared with Huo Yue's worried expression, Huo Lie's attitude seemed very calm, and even had a hint of mysterious confidence.
"Butian Pavilion? An unknown force suddenly appeared out of nowhere."
"Even if this force can compete with the Spirit Hall on the surface, its foundation is definitely not as strong as the Spirit Hall, which has dominated the spirit master world for thousands of years."
A flame ignited in Huo Lie's hand, lighting the invitation from Butian Pavilion in his hand.
"Besides, we are one of the four lower sects after all. Even if the Butian Pavilion is really as powerful as the rumors say."
"They will never become our enemies just for the sake of a small Min clan."
"On the contrary, they have to win us over to prevent us from completely turning to the Spirit Hall!"
In fact, as one of the few rational elders of the Fire Leopard Sect, he felt that his own sect leader overestimated himself and the Fire Leopard Sect.
It is said to be one of the four lower sects, but there is not even a single Titled Douluo within the sect.
In other words, Huo Lie, the sect leader himself, is a level 85 Soul Douluo.
To the powerful Titled Douluo, Soul Douluo is nothing more than an ant that can be easily crushed to death.
"Don't worry, it's just the Butian Pavilion."
"Their headquarters is in Tiandou City. I don't believe they would dare to come to our Xingluo Empire and act so recklessly for the remnants of the Haotian Sect!"
Huo Lie couldn't help but smile as he looked at the worried Huo Yue.
"Even so, we still have to send someone to find a reason to explain to Butian Pavilion."
Huo Yue was still arguing.
"I heard that Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family had his soul bones removed by the Titled Douluo of the Bu Tian Pavilion."
"No matter how powerful our Fire Leopard Sect is, we are ultimately no match for the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, one of the three major sects!"
"Whatever, whatever you want."
Huo Lie shook his head, feeling somewhat disapproving of Huo Yue's caution.
Limited by the technology of this era, information dissemination is not only slow but also easily distorted.
Most of the rumors about Butian Pavilion on the mainland are considered to be exaggerated to a certain extent.
This was inevitably the result of the Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family fanning the flames.
After all, if the truth really gets out, how can these two forces maintain their status as leaders of soul masters and the top three sects?
"Is this the Black Rock Valley?"
Amidst the flash of silver light, Ye Ling and others appeared on a mountain somewhere in the Black Rock Valley.
I have to say that the Space-Time Shuttle is really an extremely useful artifact.
Even the location for space travel is chosen so beautifully.
"Yes, Young Pavilion Master, the Fire Leopard Sect's headquarters is just below."
Looking down from the mountain peak, a large building complex is located in the middle of the valley.
You can vaguely see a lot of human figures.
"It's a precious piece of land, what a pity."
Ye Ling looked around and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
There are generally only two requirements for a sect's headquarters.
One is that the terrain is steep and easy to defend.
For example, the residences of the leaders of Haotian Sect and Qibao Liuli Sect are located on the mountain peaks, making them easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Especially the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, if it weren't for the sect's strategic location.
I'm afraid he met with an accident as early as the soul hunting operation.
The second is that the energy of heaven and earth is abundant.
For example, Shrek Academy ten thousand years later.
Thanks to the blessing of the golden tree, the speed of cultivation in Shrek's inner courtyard is several times faster than that in the outside world.
However, the Fire Leopard Sect's headquarters combines both, and is a precious land.
"Let's do it, Mr. Kong."
Ye Ling looked at Kong Deming.
"I'm reluctant to fire a ninth-level fixed-type soul guide cannon, but you have to fire an eighth-level one for me to see."
Kong Deming nodded slightly but did not speak.
A flash of light appeared on the storage soul guide worn on the chest, and a silver cannonball as tall as a person appeared in front of them.
"Is this the eighth-level fixed-type soul guide cannon?"
Ye Ling reached out and touched the surface of the shell. The slightly cool metallic touch made him squint his eyes.
Limited by shortage of materials and personnel.
The entire Butian Pavilion has only produced one level nine fixed-type soul guide artillery shell and two level eight fixed-type soul guide artillery shells in these years.
"This eighth-level fixed-type soul guide shell is the latest product that Ziwen and I have optimized together."
"Especially with the increased range damage and penetration damage, the power is already at the level of a quasi-ninth-level fixed-type soul guide cannonball."
Kong Deming introduced to Ye Ling.
As for Bai He, he had no idea what the two people were saying, nor did he know what the thing in front of him was used for.
"Let it go, let Senior Bai He and me open our eyes."
Noticing Bai He's puzzled look, Ye Ling couldn't help but smile.
