People in Douluo, the mastermind behind the scenes

Seeing Huo Yuhao lying on the recliner, flipping through the illustrated book in a leisurely manner, Ah Ying became furious and walked up to him and grabbed his ear.

Ah Ying gnashed her teeth and said, “Huo Yuhao, you are amazing. If you don’t like me, just stay away from me. No one can find fault with you. You… Humph! Not only did you come to me, you also called that bitch Soraya over. Who the hell are you trying to disgust?”

Hearing this, Soraya put one hand on her waist, pointed at Ah Ying's nose, and said angrily: "Meng Bingyu, who do you say is a bitch? Humph! Everyone in the coalition knows that you, Meng Bingyu, are the bitchest woman in the world..."

"Alright, alright, what are you arguing about? We are all colleagues and we all have the same goal. Can't we just sit together and discuss things properly if we have something to discuss?"

Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth, glanced at the two women in front of him, and said in a cold tone: "I, Huo Yuhao, have a low IQ. I can't beat either of you. I have no choice but to call you together to discuss the relevant matters of my joining the Haoyue Plane Alliance."

Ah this...

As soon as these words were spoken, the two women looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces suddenly became strange.

They were not surprised by Huo Yuhao's decision to surrender to the Haoyue Plane, but... Huo Yuhao was able to recognize his own position and knew that his IQ was worrying.

After a moment of silence, Ah Ying slowly said, “Huo Yuhao, tell me about your mental journey of surrendering to the Haoyue Plane. As you know, on the battlefield… people will do anything to achieve their goals. There are many examples of false surrender.”

"This is just a routine process. You just need to speak your mind. I will judge from your mental journey whether you, Huo Yuhao, need to pledge your allegiance and what level of pledge you need to pledge."

Huo Yuhao said nonchalantly, “Without the Ningyun Sect, I, Huo Yuhao, might still be the Spirit Ice Douluo who is respected by the top leaders of all major forces. So it makes sense to say that the Ningyun Sect is blocking my path, Huo Yuhao? Ruining someone’s future is like killing their parents. I, Huo Yuhao, do not want to climb to the top, I just want to bury the Ningyun Sect with my own hands!”

“It’s just a token of allegiance. I, Huo Yuhao, can represent the Haoyue Plane to persuade those Seagod Pavilion’s diehards to revolt. I can also go to Mingdu City to place high-explosive bombs and let the Mingdu explosion happen again. You can say whatever you want. As long as you don’t let me seduce men, I can do anything without any limit.”

At this time, Huo Yuhao had gone mad. He did not reflect on himself at all, but attributed all his failures to the Ningyun Sect.

Ah Ying nodded and said thoughtfully, "We won't do anything that breaks the rules. You and the Sun Moon Empire are already at loggerheads, so there's no point in causing another Mingdu explosion."

"How about this, you help us assassinate someone, and that will be your token of loyalty."

As he spoke, Aying handed a piece of information to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao hurriedly took the information in his hand and read it quickly.

[Name: Bai Yu]

【Gender: Female】

[Age: around 30 years old]

[Martial Soul: Unknown] [Cultivation: High-level Soul Saint (maybe a hidden Titled Douluo)]

[Position: Senior Manager of Mingde Hall of Sun-Moon Empire, Director of Logistics Department of Deep Sea Corps of Ningyun Sect]

After reading the information, Huo Yuhao frowned and said, “She is a person who holds positions in both the Sun Moon Empire and the Ningyun Sect. Hmm… Senior Ah Ying, I have a question. This woman named Bai Yu has actually been valued by the high-level officials of the Haoyue Plane, and they are even sending people to assassinate her. Is there anything special about her?”

Ah Ying replied, "According to our investigation, this woman named Bai Yu is suspected to be a branch of the Hongchen family. She single-handedly led the cooperative relationship between Ningyun Sect and the Sun Moon Empire. Yin Hongchen was able to become the governor of the Sun Moon Empire in Tiandou City because of this relationship. Think about it, a woman from the Hongchen family who is not outstanding in cultivation talent, without some relationship support, how could Xu Tianran give such an important position to Yin Hongchen."

"For the Haoyue Plane, the relationship between Ningyun Sect and Sun Moon Empire cannot be too close, and Baiyu, who is one of the ties to maintain the relationship between the two major forces, has long been included in our must-kill list."

"She is currently working in Tiandou City. You need to find out her exact whereabouts. After the assassination is successful, you will escape in the direction of Heping Town. Someone will pick you up there."

After listening to Aying's words, Huo Yuhao nodded thoughtfully. He didn't realize at all... From the beginning, Soraya had not said a word. All matters related to Huo Yuhao's surrender to the Haoyue plane were handled by Aying.

……

Under Aying's arrangement, Huo Yuhao changed his name to Zhao Sanhu, infiltrated a caravan of the Xingluo Empire, and arrived at a border city in the west of Nandouling through formal channels.

As an assassin, the most taboo thing is to enter the city where the target is located through formal channels. The current situation is turbulent and any outsiders will be targeted by the local intelligence department, which will only bring unnecessary risks to the assassination.

To this end, Huo Yuhao stayed in a bush for three days and three nights, and finally found an opportunity when the defense was slack, crossed the border between the two countries, and sneaked into the territory of the former Tianhun Empire.

Actually, Aying originally wanted Huo Yuhao to enter Tiandou City in women's clothing, so that he would not seem out of place when interacting with the female companions around Bai Yu as a woman.

But... this idea was directly rejected by Soraya. The reason was very simple. Huo Yuhao's learning ability was too poor. If he was asked to dress up as a woman, some small action might reveal his true identity. In short... Huo Yuhao had nothing good except his luck, which he was proud of.

In the end, Aying activated the backup plan and let Huo Yuhao play his true self and act as a bootlicker for Bai Yu's trusted best friend.

Since the war did not spread to the inland areas, the former territory of the Tianhun Empire was not as desolate as imagined. Along the way, Huo Yuhao saw no less than five large caravans. The direction they were heading seemed to be... the Far North?
Have the Ningyun Sect and the Sun-Moon Empire already prepared to retreat to the Far North?

If this is the case, this plane war will probably take a long time.

The land of the Far North is vast and sparsely populated. With the Snow Empress mediating, it is not a problem to accommodate all the soul master corps on the Douluo Continent. It is not an easy task for the Haoyue Plane to conquer the entire Douluo Plane.

Huo Yuhao could only keep this information in mind, and after the assassination was completed, he would inform the top leaders of the Haoyue Plane Coalition through Miss Soraya.

This is also considered a... not small achievement, right? (End of this chapter)
