With a flicker of his eyes, Tang San slowly rose, his body teleporting to a special room. Blue-gold flowing light patterns permeated the surroundings, and in the center of the room floated a light screen.
The deep light seemed to be trying to glean something from within.
Upon closer inspection, one would discover that within this light screen, there appeared to be special celestial bodies, and the pitch-black background further confirmed its location.
The universe!
Yes, this light screen was a special observation screen that Tang San had specially set up within the Sea God Temple using the power of the God Realm's central hub.
Because the monitored area was not under the jurisdiction of the God Realm, its security was absolutely top-notch. Even though the God of Destruction now controlled part of the God Realm's central hub, he still couldn't detect it.
"The restriction has been left behind, waiting for the destined one." Looking at the swirling cloud formation beside a massive planet within the light screen, Tang San's gaze deepened.
"The situation has changed. Perhaps I'll have to let you contact Douluo Star sooner. Only then will I have a suitable reason to make my move."
...
On a bright sunny morning, as the students prepared for another busy day of study, a figure riding some kind of device attracted countless eyes.
The corridors of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy were spacious, and the students walked along chatting and laughing until a series of jingling sounds rang out.
When the students looked over, they froze in place. Huo Yuhao from Shrek Academy was riding a two-wheeled device, moving at a leisurely pace.
"What is that?"
Almost all the students were Soul Masters, so they could naturally tell that this device was a Soul Guidance Device, because a faint aura of Soul Power was emanating from the axle under the seat, transporting it to the wheels and making it run automatically.
Almost instantly, Huo Yuhao became the most eye-catching person, with hundreds and thousands of eyes sweeping over him.
In an era where bionic flying machines were being researched, the most basic bicycle hadn't even been developed yet, which was truly speechless.
This also caused a sensation throughout the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy with the soul tool Huo Yuhao used.
"Yo, good morning, Director Lin."
On his way to Mingde Hall, Huo Yuhao happened to run into Lin Jiayi, who was happily heading to his office to slack off, and greeted him with a smile.
Upon hearing the voice, Lin Jiayi subconsciously wanted to respond, to show his approachable dean status, but the next moment he froze on the spot.
He saw Huo Yuhao dart past him in a flash, leaving only a gust of wind.
Looking at the strangely shaped soul tool, Lin Jiayi's pupils couldn't help but shrink, and he thought in surprise, "Goodness, this kid really developed it. What's it called? A transportation-type soul tool?"
"Director Lin, is that the latest invention of Mingde Hall?"
"When will it be rolled out to the whole school?"
"The academy is so big, we won't have to walk to the teaching building to attend classes anymore, and it will save time."
Just as Lin Jiayi was surprised that Huo Yuhao had actually created a civilian-use soul tool, several Sun Moon students gathered around, chattering and asking questions.
In their eyes, the soul-guided device Huo Yuhao rode was definitely a product of Mingde Hall.
Lin Jiayi could only make up a reason to deceive the students, saying that this soul-guided device could not be promoted for the time being and was still in the research stage.
Upon hearing this, the students all left disappointed, but they could imagine that the soul-guided bicycle Huo Yuhao used today would definitely cause a great uproar in the academy.
Lin Jiayi stood there watching Huo Yuhao leave, and an idea came to her mind, "I have to find a way to get my hands on the technology of this thing and talk to the hall master."
However, before Huo Yuhao could enter Mingde Hall, he was stopped by Ye Guyi. Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan were not there.
Looking at the soul-guided bicycle under Huo Yuhao, she was also taken aback, but the important matter was that she did not delay, "Huo Yuhao, can we talk?"
After looking around and seeing that there was no one, Huo Yuhao nodded.
Soon, the two found a place where there was no monitoring of soul-guided devices.
A resolute look appeared on Ye Guyi's cold face. "I want to join you."
Huo Yuhao remained seated on the soul-guided bicycle, showing no surprise at Ye Guyi's words. "Are you sure?"
"Yes." A hint of hatred flashed in Ye Guyi's eyes. "I'm too weak. I can't take revenge on my own. I need allies. You've never met me, yet you always accurately pinpoint my secrets. So I believe that if I cooperate with you, we can definitely achieve revenge in the future."
Huo Yuhao looked intently at the resolute Ye Guyi and said, "After school this afternoon, meet me in the sixth-grade lab, where my mentor teaches. Tonight, I'll take you somewhere, but be careful. Don't start attacking people indiscriminately. I've already explained the identity of my subordinate, Blackwater, to you in detail. I'll show it to you tonight." With
that, Huo Yuhao channeled his soul power into the soul-guided bicycle, and the tires spun, carrying him away.
Standing there, Ye Guyi watched Huo Yuhao's departing figure, murmuring in her heart, "Ancestor, do you think our choice was wrong?"
"In my life, I've made many wrong choices, but this time, it certainly won't be wrong."
A faint golden light flashed in Ye Guyi's eyes, and a gentle voice slowly echoed in her mind.
Ye Guyi's chest heaved, and she nodded silently.
...
Mingdu was vast, arguably the largest city on the Douluo Continent, but more accurately, it was an aggregate city composed of different districts, each varying in size and wealth.
The luxurious carriage traveled along the clean and tidy roads. After crossing a long bridge, several large characters were displayed on a towering plaque by the roadside:
Sun and Moon District.
Gazing at the great river shimmering with golden light, inside the carriage, Dai Huabin recalled the figure he had seen a few days ago.
"Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao..." A cold murmur escaped his lips. The hatred in Dai Huabin's heart for this man who had brought him such immense humiliation was unimaginable.
After an unknown amount of time, a respectful voice sounded from outside the carriage, "My lord, we've arrived."
Dai Huabin looked up, stood up, and stepped out of the carriage. Looking ahead, he saw an enormous manor, surrounded by iron fences. The deep green vegetation added to the scenery, while also concealing its interior.
Within a three-kilometer radius of the manor, there were no other buildings.
Although it was still daytime, the excessive quiet made the place somewhat eerie.
The carriage slowly drove away, and Dai Huabin walked towards the gate. As soon as he arrived, a figure emerged—a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his forties.
Besides this man, several other people were hidden in the shadows around the gate. They varied in build, but shared a fierce gaze, like that of predatory beasts.
Seeing Dai Huabin, the man's expression became more respectful. "Young Master, the Grand Elder has returned and is waiting for you inside the manor."
"I know," Dai Huabin nodded and entered through a small, open door.
Inside the manor, there were many buildings, the most magnificent being a palace-like structure in the center. Sunlight streamed through the glass windows of the palace's dome, creating dappled patterns of light and shadow that were dazzling to the eye.
Entering the palace, one found a vast hall, complete with chandeliers, fireplaces, sofas, carpets, and portraits. However, Dai Huabin did not admire these furnishings. Instead, he climbed the winding staircase and stopped before the study on the second floor.
A gentle knock came at the door, and a warm voice said, "Come in."
Dai Huabin respectfully opened the door and went inside.
The study wasn't luxuriously decorated; several bookshelves lined the walls, filled with a large collection of rare books. To the left was a huge floor-to-ceiling window, through which one could see the beautiful garden outside. It would be a nice spot to sunbathe and drink tea during an afternoon nap.
Beside the desk sat an elderly man in a gray robe, his face ruddy, with a goatee, giving him an air of otherworldly elegance.
No one would know that this was none other than Gui Wujing, the almost never-seen Grand Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, a powerful evil Super Douluo with a soul power level of ninety-eight.
"Teacher," Dai Huabin said with exceptional respect, bowing slightly as he addressed Gui Wujing.
"You've arrived." Gui Wujing slightly raised his eyelids, looking at Dai Huabin. "How did the mission go these past few days?"
"Reporting to Master, everything went smoothly," Dai Huabin replied. "These past few days I mainly stayed at the main altar, replenishing the gathered souls before rushing back."
"Not bad." Gui Wujing nodded approvingly. "The main reason I called you to the manor this time was to introduce you to someone, to pave the way for your future. She's a friend of mine—no, no, she should be called a collaborator. That person has a very strange temperament. But thinking about it, it makes sense, after all, she's a soul beast, and we're humans."
Soul beast… Dai Huabin's pupils contracted. He already knew who that person was, but he never expected that the Demon Emperor his colleagues mentioned had this other identity.
"Speaking of which, I remember you saying in casual conversation with others that if you encountered anyone from Shrek Academy in the future, you would definitely kill them. This time, there's an opportunity."
Gui Wujing changed the subject.
Hearing this, Dai Huabin was somewhat surprised and asked curiously, "Does the sect have a plan targeting Shrek Academy?"
"More or less," Gui Wujing said with a faint smile. "The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Shrek Academy have started an exchange student program. This time, about ten Shrek students came. I talked with the sect leader and others to see if we could find an opportunity to kill these Shrek students and then frame the Sun Moon Royal Family. So now there's an opportunity for you to take revenge."
Dai Huabin's pupils shrank. Shrek Academy exchange students?
In an instant, the familiar figure he had encountered at the corner of that milk tea shop flashed into his mind, and Dai Huabin clenched his fists tightly.
Could that be Huo Yuhao?
A Soul Master with a Spirit attribute, becoming a Soul Master would be twice as effective with half the effort.
"What's wrong?" Gui Wujing couldn't help but ask when he saw that Dai Huabin's expression was a little off.
"Nothing, I just remembered some things," Dai Huabin said, shaking his head.
Gui Wujing immediately noticed his disciple's preoccupation, but he didn't ask. Instead, he said, "Of course, this matter is still in the planning stages. Whether it can be implemented, when it will be implemented after approval, and whether the implementation details need to be modified are all still uncertain. Nobody knows whether Shrek Academy has hidden any powerful figures in Mingdu."
"After all, if the assassination plan fails, it will provoke the wrath of both the Empire and Shrek Academy. We need to consider this very carefully."
"That certainly requires caution." Dai Huabin understood this.
"Gui Wujing."
Suddenly, just as the master and disciple were talking, a deep, husky female voice rang out.
"It's her." Gui Wujing's expression shifted slightly, and he stood up and walked towards the exit of the study. "Come with me."
Dai Huabin followed.
But as soon as he came out of the study and reached the corridor railing, Dai Huabin's eyes instantly changed. On the sofa in the hall sat a woman. Her figure appeared quite tall, probably around 1.85 meters, with black hair.
"She is the Demon Empress..." Dai Huabin muttered to himself, staring at her. Soon, along with Gui Wujing, the two descended the stairs and faced the legendary Demon Empress.
Only then did Dai Huabin clearly see the Demon Empress's appearance, but the shock in his heart grew even stronger.
The Demon Empress appeared to be no more than thirty years old, with a smooth, high nose, thin yet moist red lips, and dark purple eyes. A long black dress concealed her pale skin, and a cold aura emanated from her indifferent gaze and aloof face, like a thorny rose, easily arousing a man's desire to conquer.
But what truly shocked Dai Huabin was that the woman's left cheek and hands were covered with some kind of strange, deep purple demonic runes. The runes were lifelike, faintly emitting a glow, as if they were alive, chilling to the bone.
After only a brief glance, Dai Huabin immediately looked away.
"This is your disciple?" The Demon Empress looked at Dai Huabin. The cold gaze softened slightly, showing some respect for Gui Wujing, which greatly reduced the pressure on Dai Huabin.
"Yes." Gui Wujing nodded slightly, then asked, "You asked someone to contact me, saying you had something to discuss. What exactly is it?"
At this, the Demon Emperor's indifference instantly changed, replaced by a deathly killing intent. "My daughter is missing. When she came to land, she encountered that bunch of bastards from the Sea God family. Because the situation was dangerous, she transformed into a whale pearl to escape. I tried to find her afterwards, but to no avail. My daughter seems to have vanished; no matter how I try to sense her, I can only fail." "
I came to Mingdu this time hoping to get your help in finding my daughter. If you find her, I will owe you a favor, and I can help you in the future."
"Your daughter is missing?" Gui Wujing was somewhat surprised. "Which sea area exactly?"
"It's in the sea area where the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire meet," the Demon Emperor said solemnly. "I've tried searching the nearby seas and even the land, but to no avail. But what I can confirm for now is that she's still alive."
Gui Wujing lowered his eyelids, pondering, "Could it be that your daughter is still in the whale pearl state, which is why you can't sense her?"
These words instantly startled the Demon Emperor. "But my daughter has been missing for over a year. How could she not have recovered from her injuries in such a long time before coming to find me?"
"This..." Gui Wujing frowned, speechless. She'd been missing for over a year, and only now she came to ask for our help? That's quite audacious.
However, considering the Demon Emperor's dislike of dealing with humans, it was understandable.
"Um..."
Suddenly, just as Gui Wujing was about to agree to the Demon Emperor's request to report this matter to the main altar, Dai Huabin, who was standing respectfully to the side, couldn't help but speak up.
Instantly, the gazes of both powerful figures turned to him.
Dai Huabin felt immense pressure, but seemingly determined to try, he mustered his courage and said, "Perhaps I know where your daughter is, Senior Demon Emperor."
"Whoosh." The Demon Emperor abruptly stood up, his cold, indifferent eyes fixed on Dai Huabin. "Are you sure you're not just trying to attract attention?"
Dai Huabin trembled, swallowing hard, a surge of hatred for Huo Yuhao rising in his heart. Without hesitation, he said in a deep voice, "I would never dare to speak carelessly in front of my teacher and you, Senior."
Gui Wujing silently released a wisp of soul power, helping Dai Huabin block the Demon Emperor's aura. Dai Huabin immediately felt a sense of relief.
Seeing this, the Demon Emperor withdrew his oppressive aura.
"Huabin, tell me what you know." Gui Wujing had intended to introduce his disciple to the Demon Emperor, paving the way, but Dai Huabin had taken the initiative, and it seemed he could even be of some use.
"Yes, teacher." Dai Huabin nodded, and under the Demon Emperor's questioning gaze, he said, "Senior, you mentioned that your daughter disappeared in the sea area bordering the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire, and has not been seen since. Coincidentally, when I was still in Star Luo City, I heard something."
"An auction was held in the Starlight Auction House in Star Luo City, and the main item up for auction was a soul beast embryo. It is said that a 100,000-year-old soul beast was captured when it was transforming."
"The soul tool used to seal this soul beast embryo is called the Conferred God Platform. It is said to be a level nine soul tool that can isolate the flow of all soul power and mental power fluctuations, in order to prevent the soul beast from self-destructing and causing damage."
These words seemed to have awakened something, and the Demon Emperor's eyes immediately changed. She was certain that her daughter was not dead, but she also couldn't contact her. And the function of the Conferred God Platform that Dai Huabin mentioned, isolating the flow of soul power and mental power, just corresponds to why she couldn't contact her daughter.
Seeing this, Dai Huabin felt annoyed and regretful, saying, "It's just a pity that I was preoccupied with other matters at the time and didn't investigate the auction further, so I don't know who bought this soul beast embryo."
"Star Luo Empire, Starlight Auction House, right?" The Demon Emperor looked at Dai Huabin.
Dai Huabin paused, then nodded subconsciously.
Without hesitation, the Demon Emperor turned and walked outside, disappearing in the next instant.
Gui Wujing, all smiles, said, "If you can help the Demon Emperor this time, this favor will be yours. With the Demon Emperor's support, your chances of replacing Yan Feng as the sect leader in the future will be very high."
Hearing this, Dai Huabin felt a mix of trepidation and excitement. He wondered if he could succeed in this matter. If he could… his fists clenched slightly, and a venomous glint appeared in his eyes. He muttered to himself, "Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao, if I succeed, your death is not far off. I want to see who can save you."
