Chapter 158 Poison Undying's Plan: Is He Going to Attack Mingde Hall?
The door to the quiet room was slowly pushed open, and sunlight streamed through the crack onto Liu Yuan's shoulder.
After hearing Long Aotian's words, Liu Yuan's originally calm mind was stirred by a pebble thrown into it, causing ripples. He did feel a sense of curiosity.
As the sect leader of the Body Sect, Du Busi was usually domineering, but he rarely summoned him and Long Aotian so hastily on days that were not routine gatherings.
Moreover, Long Aotian's tone was unusually solemn, mentioning "important matters" and "emergency situations."
"Could it be that they're really going to attack Mingde Hall?"
As Liu Yuan followed Long Aotian toward the council hall, he secretly deduced the situation in his mind.
Based on his memories of the original work and the current timeline of Mu En's fall and the undercurrents in the continent's situation, there is only one thing that can be called a major event that will change the landscape and requires the entire Body Sect to be mobilized.
Thinking of this, Liu Yuan's deep, three-pronged eyes suddenly burned with intensity.
The attack on Mingde Hall was more than just a simple sect raid or political demonstration.
For Liu Yuan, this was an extremely important event.
First of all, the attack on Mingdetang was itself a very challenging event.
That was the highest hall of soul tool technology in the Sun Moon Empire, heavily guarded and filled with high-level soul tool masters.
This clash between top powers is an excellent opportunity for any Soul Master who aspires to become stronger to gain practical experience and training.
Secondly, and this is what Liu Yuan values most, is the Snow Emperor's embryo.
In the original timeline, the Snow Empress was trapped in the Conferred God Platform, but during this attack by the Body Sect, she unexpectedly fell into Huo Yuhao's hands.
But this time, Liu Yuan will absolutely not let that happen.
He naturally wanted to hold onto such a valuable thing as the Snow Emperor's embryo firmly in his own hands.
Moreover, Electrox's strength has now recovered to be even greater than in the original story, especially after absorbing a piece of the Gold of Life. This Deathly Archmage's ability to soothe and control the soul has reached an astonishing level.
"If Elder Yi intervenes, it might be possible to help the Snow Empress recover, or even help her successfully rebuild her cultivation or become my soul spirit?" Liu Yuan's fingers tightened unconsciously.
The benefits of obtaining the Snow Emperor are self-evident.
As the ruler of the far north, the Snow Empress not only represents ultimate combat power, but also the defection of countless soul beast resources in the far north.
Once she becomes an asset to the Body Sect, Liu Yuan will have access to top-tier combat power on the Douluo Continent as a guarantee, and may even become the most perfect tester and promoter of the future "Soul Spirit" system.
All these intertwined feelings of anticipation filled Liu Yuan with longing for this meeting.
He hoped that what Du Bu Si was spitting out was indeed the target, because if so, it would not only advance his plan, but also bring him huge benefits in many ways.
Liu Yuan didn't dwell on it any longer, quickened his pace, and soon followed Long Aotian through the layers of corridors to the sect leader's hall.
The atmosphere in the hall was so solemn it was almost frozen.
Apart from Poison Undying, who sat high in the main seat and was surrounded by a dark blue aura, the benches on both sides were filled with the sect's elite elders.
Elder Chen, Elder Li, and a host of other veteran Title Douluos were present, each exuding a chilling aura.
Liu Yuan stepped into the hall, first calmly greeting Du Busi, then turning around and bowing slightly to the elders present.
When the elders in the hall saw Liu Yuan, their tense expressions all relaxed considerably.
The elders, especially those who had witnessed the power of Liu Yuan's Three Pupils firsthand, looked at him with admiration and affection.
Everyone treated Liu Yuan very well, clearly regarding him as the future backbone of the sect.
Poison Immortal opened his emerald green double pupils, gestured for Liu Yuan and Long Aotian to take their seats, and then went straight to the point explaining why he had summoned them:
"I have summoned you all today because I have just received accurate intelligence from the Star Luo Empire's spies. A serious experimental accident recently occurred within the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire, causing a brief gap in its defenses."
"Therefore, I have decided that the sect shall set off immediately, with the objective of attacking Mingde Hall!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan was overjoyed. The feeling of relief and calm made his tense nerves relax.
Just as I had guessed, the gears of fate had finally turned to this moment.
Poison Undying glanced around, his gaze settling on Liu Yuan and Long Aotian, and said in a deep voice:
"The reason I specifically called you two juniors here is because you are the best of the younger generation in our Body Sect."
"This operation presents both danger and opportunity, and I intend to let you all gain experience along the way."
"After all, your strength is getting stronger and stronger. It's time for you to witness the grand scenes that truly determine the future of the continent. You can't always stay in your sects and work in isolation."
Long Aotian's expression was cold and stern as he clasped his hands in response.
Liu Yuan nodded, his fighting spirit undisguised.
However, just as the atmosphere was about to move to the next step of the deployment, a gray-robed elder suddenly stepped forward.
"Sect Master, I believe this matter still needs to be discussed."
This elder's surname is Zhang, and he is a senior member of the sect with extremely long and distinguished career.
The reason he stood up to oppose it was because he had been in deep seclusion for a long time, trying to break through the life-or-death barrier of becoming a Title Douluo.
Just two days ago, he successfully broke through to become a level 91 Title Douluo.
That is why Elder Zhang was completely unaware of Liu Yuan's recent astonishing achievements.
Before he went into seclusion, Liu Yuan, though outstanding, was in his eyes nothing more than a Soul Master with great potential.
As for Liu Yuan's martial soul's second awakening and evolution into a gold-level three-eyed form, and his subsequent crushing of Elder Li, he hadn't had a chance to hear about it due to the tight secrecy surrounding it.
At this moment, Elder Zhang stepped forward, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Poison Undying, and expressed his objection in a calm tone:
"Sect Master, attacking Mingde Hall is a mission with a slim chance of survival. We are facing at least ten level-nine Soul Masters and the elite Soul Master Corps of the Sun Moon Empire."
"Although Long Aotian is strong, his soul power level is still shallow; as for Liu Yuan, although he is exceptionally talented, he is still too young. I believe that it is too early for them to undertake this level of mission."
Elder Zhang glanced at Liu Yuan, his eyes filled with the affection of an elder for a younger person, but his words were very direct:
"In such a deadly battle between top-tier forces, the slightest mistake could lead to certain death."
"The sect cannot afford this level of loss."
"I suggest that this operation be carried out by us old folks, while they continue to cultivate in seclusion within the sect."
"It's not too late to talk about training them when they have truly grown to the level of Soul Saint or even Soul Douluo."
