Upon the mention of Huo Yuhao, Di Tian's voice noticeably deepened: "He has also researched the Legacy Spirit Soul technology, his status in the Spirit Pagoda is rising, and he has already completed Fusion with a new Spirit Soul, his cultivation having achieved a Breakthrough to Spirit Douluo."
Upon hearing this, Na'er's silver eyes widened for a fleeting moment.
She sat on the edge of the bed, her back stiffening involuntarily, her fingertips tightening slightly against the casing of the communicator.
As the half-body incarnation of the Silver Dragon King undergoing recultivation, bolstered by the Gold Dragon King's Bloodline Power, her speed to cultivation had long since far surpassed that of her peers.
She had Cultivated all the way to Spirit Saint with almost no Bottleneck, and such a speed of cultivation could already be considered shocking in the Spirit Master's world.
Yet, she had not expected that even so, she still could not compare to Huo Yuhao.
She remained silent for a moment, let out a soft sigh, and silently lamented in her heart, "As expected of someone capable of becoming a god."
Immediately after, her tone became serious, carrying a sense of urgency that brooked no delay: "We must strike as soon as possible. Once Huo Yuhao achieves a Breakthrough to Titled Douluo, it will likely be difficult to kill him."
Na'er had been tormented by Huo Yuhao many times, so she had an extremely clear understanding of his combat strength.
That person's terror never lay solely in the speed of his cultivation Breakthrough, but in his terrifying combat strength that allowed him to fight above his rank.
Once he steps across the threshold of a Titled Douluo, trying to move against him will require paying a price ten or a hundred times greater.
The other end of the communicator fell silent for a moment. When Di Tian's voice came through again, it carried a sigh of helplessness: "The Master left a mark on me; if I were to personally take action against Huo Yuhao, she would likely notice immediately."
This mention of "Master," naturally, referred to Gu Yue.
Upon hearing this, Na'er couldn't help but retort, her tone filled with undisguised annoyance: "She has gone too far; she is simply blinded by love!"
She said this quickly and heavily, carrying a sense of frustration at seeing someone fail to live up to expectations.
Hearing this on the other end of the communicator, Di Tian dared not offer too much comment; after all, both were his Masters.
However, he couldn't help but feel a secret pang of emotion in his heart. He missed that complete Master more than anyone—the calm, decisive, and unsentimental Silver Dragon King.
He remained silent for a moment, suppressing those turbulent thoughts, and then spoke: "Xiong Jun has already gone to Shrek City; this time, he will take action."
With Di Tian now "crippled," the strongest combatant in the Soul Beast Clan was naturally Xiong Jun.
Na'er was silent for a few breaths upon hearing this, the unease in her heart still churning.
With Huo Yuhao's Spirit Douluo cultivation and his terrifying ability to fight above his rank, wouldn't he already be capable of confronting a Super Douluo head-on?
She shook her head and said: "That won't do. Shrek City is the nest of the Spirit Pagoda. If we cannot kill Huo Yuhao quickly, it will surely draw reinforcements from the Spirit Pagoda's experts. Can't we wait until Huo Yuhao goes outside to take action?"
Di Tian's voice carried a hint of helplessness: "According to the intelligence currently in our possession, Huo Yuhao has no plans to leave for the time being. He has just completed Fusion with a new Spirit Soul and is stabilizing his cultivation. It is likely he will remain within the Spirit Pagoda for the near future."
Na'er's brows furrowed a bit more, light swirling within her silver eyes as she was clearly thinking quickly of a way to break the deadlock.
Find a way to lure Huo Yuhao out of the Spirit Pagoda?
This line of thinking was feasible, but not necessarily guaranteed to succeed.
And what excuse could be used to make him leave the Spirit Pagoda?
She lowered her eyes and remained silent for a moment. Suddenly, a flash of light crossed her eyes; she had thought of a brilliant plan.
She suddenly asked: "Has Gu Yue's Myriad Beast Platform plan begun?"
Di Tian replied: "It has not officially launched yet; it is still in the preparation stage."
The corners of Na'er's mouth curled into a slight arc: "Then let us ask those two to do us a favor."
Di Tian naturally knew who the "those two" Na'er spoke of were.
Once, they were the outer guardians of the Core Circle of the Star Dou Great Forest, kings among Spirit Beasts with hundred-thousand-year cultivation.
But later, they chose to sacrifice themselves, becoming the spirit rings for that human Spirit Master named Tang San.
Yet they could be considered extremely lucky; after Tang San became a god, he resurrected them from their state as spirit rings.
Not only did he restore their freedom, but he also bestowed upon them greater power and the qualification for eternal life.
The juniors who were once ordered about by Di Tian had now become existences capable of standing on equal footing with him.
With Gu Yuena's Divine Rank mental force, covering the entire Douluo Planet was not a difficult task.
As early as the era Ten Thousand Years ago, during one of her awakenings, Gu Yuena had already sensed Da Ming and Er Ming, who had been "exiled" to the Lower Realm by Tang San.
It was just that at that time, she had not yet fully recovered her power, so she had not paid them any mind.
Not until now, as the influence of the Spirit Pagoda spread like a wildfire, had the Spirit Beasts on the continent been forced to the brink of extinction.
Da Ming and Er Ming, having originated as Spirit Beasts, naturally felt unwilling and reluctant to see their kin step by step walking toward extinction.
It was precisely this shared anxiety that allowed the Silver Dragon King to reach a consensus with them, creating the Myriad Beast Platform to preserve the final spark for the Soul Beast Clan.
And at this moment, Na'er was clearly intending to borrow the power of these two to resolve the troublesome issue of Huo Yuhao.
Di Tian remained silent for a moment on the other end of the communicator, his tone carrying a hint of hesitation: "Master, they said their cooperation was only for the continuation of the Soul Beast Clan; they may not be willing to participate in such a matter. Moreover, the one we are dealing with this time is their acquaintance."
Upon hearing this, Na'er's mouth curled into a confident smile: "Eliminating Huo Yuhao is precisely to allow Gu Yue to complete her plan as soon as possible. The sooner Gu Yue's focus returns to the right track, the sooner the Myriad Beast Platform plan can be advanced. Ultimately, this is naturally also for the continuation of the Soul Beast Clan."
She paused, her silver eyes narrowing slightly, her voice gaining a hint of craftiness: "As for the matter of Huo Yuhao being Tang San's son-in-law, if you don't say it, how would they know he is that Spirit Ice Douluo from Ten Thousand Years ago?"
After saying this, Na'er couldn't help but raise an eyebrow herself; she felt she was simply too wicked.
Having stayed in human society for so long, she had even learned such cunning methods of scheming against others. How would she have ever thought of such twists and turns before?
But at this moment, she had to admit that this kind of "wickedness" was quite handy to use.
Di Tian, however, did not immediately agree to this matter; his silence carried obvious concerns.
A moment later, he spoke slowly: "But... Huo Yuhao's appearance is exactly the same as it was Ten Thousand Years ago. Both Da Ming and Er Ming have seen the Spirit Ice Douluo. If they see that face, I fear they will inevitably think too much."
Na'er gave a soft huff: "Can't we just not tell them that this Huo Yuhao is the Spirit Ice from Ten Thousand Years ago? Just say he is a descendant of Spirit Ice; isn't that what we thought before?"
"As Tang San's son-in-law, Huo Yuhao still has other Bloodlines passed down in the world; isn't this a betrayal of Tang San?"
"Do you think, given the positions of the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, they would sit idly by and ignore this?"
The other end of the communicator fell silent for a moment, and then Di Tian's breathing became noticeably heavier. He had indeed not thought of this layer.
His train of thought had been trapped on the fact that "Huo Yuhao is Spirit Ice," always feeling that once Da Ming and Er Ming saw that face, they would recognize him.
Now, with Na'er pointing this out, he instantly felt that this plan was not only feasible but could even be called flawless.
When Di Tian's voice sounded again, his tone carried an irrepressible surprise: "Rest assured, Master, I will go and communicate with them."
After the communication ended, Na'er casually placed the spirit tool communicator on the bedside table, leaned back, and let herself sink into the not-so-soft bed.
She lay on her back, her long, silvery-white hair spreading out across the pillow. Her gaze fell on the spirit tool lamp above, and she stared at the soft halo of light for quite a while.
The corners of her mouth remained in that slightly upturned arc, never falling; she felt she was simply too clever.
This set of arguments was interlocking; it had the intention of sowing discord, as well as a mix of truth and falsehood. Either way, she felt it was completely flawless.
She even couldn't help but think in her heart that she was the one who should have inherited the Silver Dragon King's complete world-shocking wisdom.
As for Gu Yue, it was better not to mention her.
Now, whenever she encountered matters related to Huo Yuhao, where was there any wisdom to speak of?
