Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 146 Evil Soul Master: How Favored I Am by Fate
The platform was a mess, with panicked people scattering in all directions, and the spirit beasts huddled in a corner, trembling. Sunlight still streamed through the shattered dome, but it could no longer illuminate that harmonious scene.

Li Yucheng's face turned deathly pale, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked: "Damn it."

We must contact the Spirit Pagoda immediately!
Unbeknownst to him, a wisp of gray mist and a figure vanished silently.

……

The biting wind cut like a knife across his skin, and the boy instinctively opened his eyes, his pupils shrinking sharply—below him was a bottomless abyss, with wispy clouds clinging to his feet like ghosts, and the fierce air currents tearing at his suspended body.

He was encased in a narrow, blood-red shield, making it difficult for him to move.

Opposite him, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena were also trapped inside another crimson protective shield.

Huo Yuhao frowned, suddenly snapping out of his unconscious state. His eyes were misty with gray, but he quickly cleared them. The first thing he saw was Gu Yuena beside him. She lay across him, her hands gripping his collar tightly. Her face was pale, and her long eyelashes drooped, trembling slightly in the cold wind, as if she might wake up at any moment.

Just then, Gu Yuena's brows furrowed slightly, her eyelids twitched a few times, and finally she slowly opened them. Her amethyst-like eyes held a hint of confusion, but when she saw the evil soul master, she suddenly realized and her brows furrowed.

Huo Yuhao: "..."

Well, how should I put it? He acted very well.
You haven't actually acted out my role before, have you?
"They all woke up pretty quickly."

A cold, eerie voice suddenly rang out. The voice was neither male nor female, and it had a chilling, distorted quality, as if countless tiny insects were crawling on the eardrums, and hallucinations seemed to appear in one's eyes.

The aloof young man quickly closed his eyes and remained silent. Huo Yuhao and the other two also kept quiet, only looking at the evil soul master with wary expressions.

Just then, a strong sense of weightlessness suddenly struck them. The surrounding clouds swept past like sharp blades, and the earth was rushing towards them at a terrifying speed.

The suffocating feeling of the rapid descent made my blood feel like it was freezing, just a hundred meters from the ground—

"Bang!" An invisible force suddenly pulled the three of them down hard. The feeling of their internal organs being squeezed and displaced surged into their hearts. Before they could recover, their feet had already slammed heavily onto the solid ground, their knees bending uncontrollably from the impact.

Gu Yuena staggered to regain her balance, a cold glint flashing in her purple eyes, her face pale.

Huo Yuhao held her shoulder, his eyes looking at the evil soul master with an extremely "serious" expression.

This evil spirit master was shrouded in an impenetrable gray darkness—

A tight-fitting gray outfit seemed to blend into the shadows, and even his face was completely covered by a specially made hood, revealing only a pair of chilling eyes. In those hazy gray eyes, the blood-red pupils were like two drops of congealed blood, gleaming eerily in the dim light.

A Blood-Eyed Martial Soul, and also a Super Douluo...

He seemed to have some recollection of it.

Was he originally the evil spirit master who attacked the divine craftsman?
Is the attack on the next master craftsman this time?

The Blood-Eyed Evil Soul Master looked at the three of them and said, "You all have pretty good mental fortitude. You've lived up to your talents."

He didn't show any fear when facing her, which was indeed good, but he was also quite nervous and worried.

This is to be expected, given the difference in strength.

It would be a problem if we weren't nervous. "Senior, why have you arrested us?"

The boy beside him struggled to his feet and couldn't help but ask:

"We weaklings shouldn't deserve your help, should we?"

"The weak? The tenth on the list of young geniuses is Yuanen Yehui, the fifth is Gu Yuena, and the first is Huo Yuhao."

The evil spirit master glanced at them coldly, and a chilling voice rang in their ears.

"You are not strong now, but what about in the future? At this age, there's already a high-level Soul Venerable, a Soul Sect Master, a Soul King... The Federation has been producing more and more geniuses in recent years. But conversely, killing you will reduce the number of top experts in the Federation and stifle the future of major powers. Why not do it?"

Yuan Enhui frowned slightly. "If you really wanted to kill us, you didn't need to bring us here before you did it."

The evil spirit master glanced at Yuanen Yehui, but didn't continue the conversation. He turned to Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena and said, "The Spirit Pagoda is very effective in protecting those evil spirit owners, but it has overlooked you, the prodigies of your own forces."

"However, it's one thing for geniuses like you to not have protectors around, but didn't your teachers leave you any other means?"

Huo Yuhao glanced in Yuanen Yehui's direction, took a deep breath, and said, "Now that we have the ability to protect ourselves, we can't rely on our teachers for everything. Who would have thought that we would encounter a senior today?"

"A five-ring Soul King, plus battle armor... does indeed have some ability to protect himself."

The evil spirit master's blood-red eyes narrowed slightly, locking onto Huo Yuhao's gaze like a venomous snake eyeing its prey. His mocking words, instead of provoking her, only made the curve of her lips twist even more.

The fleeting glimpse of Huo Yuhao's gray mist when she grabbed him just now still lingered in her mind—such a pure, sweet aura of death, just recalling it made her tremble all over, and a tingling pleasure rose from the depths of her bones.

A casual move yielded such a delightful surprise... How fortunate she is!
Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed upon seeing this.

Their attention is completely focused on him; it seems the necromantic energy they summoned earlier was very effective.

"Rest here for a while and don't try anything funny."

The evil spirit master said coldly, "If someone comes after us, you will be the first to die. But if you can get through this period safely, you might be able to go back alive."

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure vanished from the spot.

Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena exchanged a glance, understanding each other without saying a word.

Yuan Enhui was silent for a moment, then slowly walked to their side, her gaze shifting between them. "I'm sorry to have dragged you two into this. She's probably after me. If there's a chance later, I'll try to distract her. You two should escape as soon as possible."

Huo Yuhao sensed that the evil soul master's aura had temporarily left his vicinity and looked at "Yuanen Yehui".

Yuan En Ye Hui is female, but sometimes disguises herself as a man due to her martial soul. Her martial souls are Titan Giant Ape and Fallen Angel, both evil martial souls. Furthermore, because the Fallen Angel can connect to the demon dimension at the ninth ring, it is among the most dangerous of the evil martial souls in terms of potential…

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao suddenly smiled and transmitted his voice:
"It's alright. With us drawing her attention, she hasn't even noticed Your Majesty. It shouldn't be difficult for us to leave."
