Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 239 Shrek Enters the Game
"A trip to Dragon Valley?"

Huo Yuhao sensed Xu Chengzhi's probing, his expression showing just the right amount of surprise. Then, as if remembering something, he frowned slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression.

It has to be said that a young man's appearance can effectively deceive others. Xu Chengzhi, who had been paying close attention to Huo Yuhao's expression, suddenly had something on his mind.

The intelligence he received indicated that a Soul Master with the Ultimate Ice skill had gone to Dragon Valley, and there shouldn't be such a person in Star Luo territory, so the Holy Spirit Sect directly targeted the members of the Douluo Federation delegation.

Xu Chengzhi also thought so.

Because of Huo Yuhao's previous actions and his recent disappearance in Xingluo City, he couldn't help but connect Huo Yuhao with the person who caused the collapse of the Dragon Valley Small World.

There's just one thing that doesn't make sense.

The Soul Master of Ultimate Ice was far inferior to Huo Yuhao in terms of Martial Soul. Moreover, according to the information provided by the Evil Eye Tyrant, there were many details that differed between the other party and Huo Yuhao.

The Evil Eye Tyrant is a "veteran minister" who has followed the Holy Spirit Cult for ten thousand years and is highly trusted. It is impossible for him to provide false information on such a matter. In order to avoid the Holy Spirit Cult thinking that he is sowing discord, he can only suppress the news that Huo Yuhao once obtained information about Dragon Valley from the Dawn Society.

Ultimately, whether Huo Yuhao did it or not is not important. In any case, whether it's Huo Yuhao or that ultimate Ice Soul Master, the Holy Spirit Cult's best option is to capture them alive.

Moreover, if he reports the news, he will have to bear the responsibility for the collapse of the Dragon Valley Minor World...

However, judging from Huo Yuhao's reaction, this matter seems to have nothing to do with him. In other words, there is a hidden ultimate ice soul master among the Douluo Federation delegation members who came this time.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao should be aware of the other party's existence.

As Xu Chengzhi was thinking about this, Huo Yuhao seemed to snap out of his thoughts and changed the subject, not wanting to discuss the trip to Dragon Valley any further.

The more he said, the more mistakes he made. Originally, he had no intention of leaving any survivors or information about himself at the Holy Spirit Cult's base in Dragon Valley. However, his plans changed after encountering the Evil Eye Tyrant at the Dragon Valley base, and he had to leave some information for the other party to explain himself.

However, this would make some actions seem hasty, and if exposed, it could affect the Evil Eye Tyrant's infiltration. It's not advisable to discuss this matter further now, lest more information be revealed.

Fortunately, the success of the trip to Dragon Valley does indicate that the Dawn Society did not pass on the information about his search for Dragon Valley to the Holy Spirit Cult. Given that the Dragon Valley small world seems to be collapsing now, the other party probably won't mention it much in front of the Holy Spirit Cult, lest the fire get back on them.

Next, we'll see what the Evil Eye Tyrant, a veteran minister who has served the Holy Spirit Cult for ten thousand years, can do. Hopefully, he won't be used as a soul ring because of this.

"Trust? Before talking about trust, I want to know what Star Luo is really up to. They cooperated with the Federation to suppress the Dawn Society, and now they're telling me that there are problems with Star Luo's upper echelons, and that the Dawn Society is the one in the right? And that His Majesty Xu Chengzhi is even the leader of the Dawn Society?"

Huo Yuhao said coldly, "This is not a joke that can be made lightly. If the Star Luo leadership has really been infiltrated by evil soul masters, then all future cooperation between the Douluo Federation and your side will be meaningless."

"Furthermore, if you are the leader of the Dawn Society, that means you were the one who sent people to attack the Federation mission. Are you trying to start a war between the two countries?!"

Faced with Huo Yuhao's questioning, Xu Chengzhi smiled bitterly, "Mo Yan should have already given the corresponding explanation. Besides those reasons, there is another important factor, which is that the Dawn Society also needs to be purged. Although I am the leader of the Dawn Society, when a power grows too large, there will always be dissenting voices. I hope you can understand."

"The mastermind behind this collaboration with the Douluo Federation to suppress the Dawn Society is those evil soul masters. They want to eliminate the last discordant note in Xingluo. If they succeed, Xingluo will become a living hell."

Huo Yuhao seemed not to have heard the last sentence and asked:
"So what? As the emperor of Xingluo, Your Majesty places all your hopes on other countries?" Xu Chengzhi sighed when he saw that Huo Yuhao remained unmoved.

"Indeed, with the help of the Spirit Pagoda, the Dawn Society could launch an uprising within Star Luo, allowing the Douluo Federation to take advantage of the situation. Once things are set right, both the Douluo Federation and the Spirit Pagoda will reap considerable benefits. However, if the Holy Spirit Cult completely controls Star Luo, it will inevitably launch military operations against the Douluo Federation. Rather than that, it would be better to hold the war on our territory, which would also be a good thing for the Douluo Federation..."

At this point, Xu Chengzhi paused for a moment, then continued:
"As the ruler of a nation, I naturally do not want to betray the interests of my country in this way, but the reality is that if I do not do this, Xingluo will never have a chance to see the dawn..."

He spoke these words with sincerity, and explained the benefits of cooperation between the two parties from multiple perspectives, including interests and morality.

But upon hearing the end, Huo Yuhao simply shook his head slightly.

“If Your Majesty came here today only to talk to me about this matter, then there is no need to continue this discussion. The information I have is all given to me by you, and I cannot trust it based on only one side of the story. Moreover, the Dawn Society is about to be besieged by all sides, and Your Majesty, as the leader, seems to be in no hurry at all, which makes me even more confused.”

"Moreover, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. If we cannot overcome this calamity, nothing else matters. Therefore, please go and find His Majesty the Amorous to handle the crisis of the Dawn Society first."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chengzhi narrowed his eyes, realizing that there was no hope of getting Huo Yuhao to bring the Spirit Pagoda into the game.

Fortunately, he didn't have high hopes in the first place. The main reason he approached Huo Yuhao was for something else.

"I presume you've already investigated the matter after Mo Yan mentioned the Human Pill? What if I told you that the Amorous Douluo and Shrek Academy are not trustworthy?"

Huo Yuhao paused, turned to look at Xu Chengzhi, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.

So that's how it is. Are you trying to get Shrek Academy involved?
Thinking of Xingluo's current situation, Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes.

No, Shrek Academy had already entered the game because of the Tang Sect.

……

Watching Huo Yuhao leave, Mo Yan frowned and looked at Xu Chengzhi, "Your Majesty, is this a good idea?"

Xu Chengzhi shook his head. "We have no choice but to choose the Holy Spirit Cult. Even a false prosperity is better than a completely destroyed nation. If you really expect Star Luo to see the light at the end of the tunnel, that's impossible. Do you think anyone in the Douluo Federation would be willing to take on this mess?"

Knowing Xingluo's current situation, he was certain that he would either go down a dead-end path or... start all over again.

"Alright, let's not bring this up again. How's Secretary Pan doing?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yan respectfully replied, "As you predicted, he has already discovered the problem with the Tang Clan!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Chengzhi revealed a calm and elegant smile, "The Douluo Federation and Shrek Academy are growing increasingly estranged, and the conflict between them has long since reached its limit. So let's take this opportunity to hand them the knife..."
