Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 238 Meeting with Xu Chengzhi

Just as Blood Shadow finished cleaning up the Dragon Valley Evil Soul Master base, a communication came from within the Holy Spirit Cult.

"My lord, Xingluo has already reached an agreement with the Douluo Federation delegation and is currently mobilizing personnel. They will soon be attacking the Dawn Society's base."

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Xueying frowned slightly and waved his hand, "I understand. I will handle the matters here as soon as possible. You may leave."

There was someone originally designated to deal with the "encirclement and suppression" plan of Xingluo and Douluo, but now a major incident has occurred in Dragon Valley, and someone must handle it.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be able to get away from this situation anytime soon.

But since Dragon Valley itself is gone, there's no point in them staying here in vain. After making arrangements for what to do next, Blood Shadow decided to set off and return immediately.

'I wonder if that holy son... is as powerful as the rumors say.'

Thinking of the Holy Church's plan, Blood Shadow Douluo revealed a slight smile.

……

When Huo Yuhao returned to Xingluo City, the first person to approach him was not one of his own, but Mo Yan, a member of the Dawn Society who had approached him before.

The other party seemed to have been waiting for his message.

Given that this person provided information about Dragon Valley, Huo Yuhao agreed to the meeting.

Mo Yan chose a theater as the meeting place.

This theater, a medium-sized establishment in the city, primarily performs traditional Chinese operas and attracts many theater enthusiasts. The Star Luo Empire has a long history, divided into two periods: the old calendar and the new calendar.

The old calendar refers to the glorious years of the empire on the Douluo Continent, a history full of legends and honor; while the new calendar begins after the empire migrated to the present-day Star Luo Continent, opening a new chapter.

In this theater, audiences can relive the "legendary experiences" of the Star Luo Empire on the Douluo Continent through a series of wonderful performances, and feel that "magnificent" history.

Mo Yan sat in a box on the second floor of the theater, looking at the play about to begin below: "Do you know what the play is today?"

Today, when he came to see Huo Yuhao, he was no longer alone. He was followed by several Soul Masters whose auras were restrained. Clearly, unlike the first time, he had come prepared this time, seemingly ready for the negotiations to break down.

Huo Yuhao noticed this but didn't pay much attention. He only lingered on a certain figure for a moment before looking away.

The speculation that Dawn was the Black Glove was anticipated, so his arrival is not surprising.

"I heard it was a classic battle in which the Star Luo Empire defeated the Sun Moon Empire."

"That's right. It was a battle in which the Star Luo Empire, led by Duke White Tiger, defeated the Sun Moon Empire's army. Although it wasn't a major victory that could significantly impact the overall war situation, it was a battle that Star Luo could celebrate in great detail."

Mo Yan said, "After all, in the war against the Sun Moon Empire, Xingluo has always lost more than it has won, and they need to establish a hero. However, Duke Baihu still fell in the end, and not even on the battlefield... If his descendant were not the current Speaker, this scene probably wouldn't have been filmed."

"Mr. Mo seems to have done quite a bit of research on this period of history?"

"It's just stating the facts. After all, the Star Luo Empire was always at a disadvantage during the Douluo Continent period."

Mo Yan chuckled and changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Have you thought it through? Do you want to cooperate with our Dawn Society?"

Huo Yuhao slowly shook his head, his tone calm. "I remember saying before that I am just a member of the delegation, not its representative, and have no right to cooperate with you on behalf of the delegation." "You flatter me. With your status, you could cooperate even in your personal capacity." Mo Yan narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, "This kind of charade is very popular in Star Luo. The Star Luo Federation's intentions are already contained in it."

Is this a metaphor for the current state of Xingluo?
Huo Yuhao naturally understood the implication from Mo Yan, and his gaze fell on him. "Are you referring to Xingluo's ambition to defeat the Douluo Federation, or... that this country needs heroes?"

Mo Yan's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the VIP box, the stage lights casting shadows on his face: "There will always be those who are unwilling to accept this and want to knock on the gates of the Douluo Federation to avenge the Star Luo Empire being driven out of the Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago. This is unavoidable."

"As for the latter, although I really want to deny it, I have to admit that Xingluo does need a hero right now, and that... can't be us."

When a country expects a hero to save it, it often means that the country has reached its most dangerous moment.

The fact that the actor playing this role had to be from another country further illustrates their helplessness.

"hero?"

Huo Yuhao pondered the word, then suddenly chuckled, glancing at the person behind Mo Yan, and changed the subject, "Heroes need to be created. Ten thousand years ago, it was the Star Luo Emperor who personally selected and created them. Now, does His Majesty Xu Chengzhi also intend to come personally?"

"Mr. Mo Yan, you've always had reservations about the cooperation between the Star Luo high-level officials and evil soul masters. It's quite unexpected that the person you're loyal to is the emperor of Star Luo."

Mo Yan and the people he brought with them had their pupils constricted.

One of the figures looked surprised, but quickly smiled, causing the Soul Master beside him to drop his disguise.

Upon seeing this, Mo Yan suppressed his shock, respectfully stood up, and switched places with him.

And this figure, having shed his disguise, was none other than Xu Chengzhi, the emperor of the Star Luo Federation!

"I wonder how you saw through my disguise, Mr. Huo Yuhao. I believe I did not give myself away in the details."

Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly, "It's simply because I have a good understanding of simulated soul skills."

Xu Chengzhi looked enlightened.

He was careless, letting the spirit master use simulation to cover his whereabouts, but he forgot that the reason why simulation spirit skills were notorious in the Douluo Federation was related to the Spirit Pagoda.

This was an interesting anecdote that the Dai family's daughter brought back from the Douluo Federation—

I don't know which Spirit Pagoda Master started this trend, but simulated soul skills are very popular in the Spirit Pagoda. Many spirit attribute soul masters choose Ice Silkworm as their first soul spirit.

After all, the soul skills of a hundred-year-old soul spirit are rarely useful in the later stages, even after spirit ascension, while simulation is clearly a good alternative. In their Star Luo, the Ice Silkworm, which can provide this soul skill, is also a very valuable soul spirit.

However, to protect its image, the Spirit Pagoda refused to admit this and instead blamed the Body Sect, claiming that the Body Sect was the earliest sect to discover simulated soul skills, and that they were merely humbly learning from them... It's unclear whether this is true or not.

However, if even the heir of the Spirit Pagoda is so knowledgeable about simulation, and even possesses such a soul skill, then it's probably fake...

With that in mind, Xu Chengzhi stopped doubting and turned to business. He said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry to meet with you in this capacity in private, but that's the situation in Xingluo now. Even I'm not very free."

"Now, on behalf of the leader of the Dawn Society, I would like to formally propose cooperation to you. Please consider the success of our trip to Dragon Valley and place some trust in us."
