Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 247 They're here; another base is about to fall.

"???"

Xu Chengzhi is now filled with questions.

Aside from Tianyuan, who provided the intelligence, the other destroyed Dawn Society bases shouldn't have been part of the attack plan, right?

Who provided the intelligence, and who took it upon themselves to launch the attack?
Xu Chengzhi had his Soul Masters explain the situation to him in detail, and his expression darkened when he heard that it was Huo Yuhao and Xu Lingfeng's team.

“Xu Lingfeng…”

He murmured the name, his tone carrying a hint of danger.

These Dawn Society bases that were wiped out were all factions he secretly supported!
On the surface, Dawn is the enemy of the Star Luo Empire, but in reality, that force is used by Xu Chengzhi to counterbalance other opposing voices within the country.

The existence of these bases was a carefully laid-out secret weapon of his, which could both handle some shady matters for him and, when necessary, be presented as "achievements" to appease the people.

But now, Huo Yuhao and Xu Lingfeng are treating these bases like dungeons to farm?!

It's one thing for Huo Yuhao of the Douluo Federation to do this, but Xu Lingfeng, what are you trying to do? Don't you know that's my territory?!
Oh, because of his own information control, he didn't know...

That's fine.

"How did they find these bases?" Xu Chengzhi asked in a cold voice.

The Soul Master sensed that His Majesty's mood was off and cautiously said, "According to the message relayed by Captain Xu, it was Lord Huo Yuhao who used his mental power to track down the fleeing remnants of the Dawn Society and found them by following the clues..."

Xu Chengzhi clenched his fist, his knuckles turning slightly white.

What a cunning Huo Yuhao! Is he forcing him to leave the game prematurely?
Seeing Xu Chengzhi's gloomy expression, the Soul Master tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, isn't this... a good thing?"

Xu Chengzhi took a deep breath, barely suppressing his anger, and said calmly:

"It's certainly a good thing, but I didn't expect it to progress so quickly. It's a bit of a surprise. Alright, you may leave now."

He waved his hand, signaling the other person to step back.

When he was the only one left in the room, Xu Chengzhi's eyes turned completely cold.

It seems the final battle will have to be brought forward.

……

Under the cover of night, halfway up a giant mountain, a huge explosion startled the members of the Dawn Society inside the base. They hurriedly moved supplies back and forth, trying to organize a defense.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Quickly! Activate the defensive soul tool!"

"No, the energy core has been interfered with, and the soul-guiding array has failed—"

Seeing everyone's panicked state, a dejected figure sat in the corner, speaking in a low, gloomy voice:

"Heh, it's no use. They're here, and another base is about to fall."

A young member of the Dawn Society glared at him angrily: "What nonsense are you spouting! There are three Soul Douluo masters here, the Star Luo army surrounding us is nothing..."

"Three Soul Douluos?" The dejected man let out a hoarse laugh. "Do you know who's coming? It's that Huo Yuhao."

The surrounding suddenly quieted down.

Someone asked, trembling, "Is it the Douluo Federation powerhouse who defeated Lord Linghe Fan and destroyed our five bases?"

By this time, someone had already recognized the dejected man: "He is a Soul Master who was taken in by the base chief before, and a survivor of the base that was destroyed before!"

The dejected man slowly stood up, revealing a scarred face in the shadows. His voice was low and hoarse, like a demon crawling back from hell: "Escape? No... he let me go on purpose."

He was the Soul Master of the second base destroyed by Huo Yuhao's team. Because of his good strength, he had connections with many branches and bases of the Dawn Society.

But this didn't become a shield for him; instead, it brought him nightmares. This is now his fourth time living under someone else's roof, once again facing a doomed fate…

"Huo Yuhao is here, another base is about to fall."

Muttering these words to himself, the man walked out of the base.

He didn't know what to do, should he run away?
Does it make sense?

Running away is just the beginning of the next escape.

But is there any point in fighting?
Face two monsters, and then go and die?

"They're here. Another base is about to fall."

Saying words that would damage the base's morale, the man staggered out of the base gate amidst the panicked gazes of the crowd, the night wind carrying the smell of gunpowder. He looked up at the sky, the starlight flickering in the light of the explosions.

"This is... incredibly boring," he muttered to himself.

Behind them came screams of agony from members of the Dawn Society, and the deafening roar of colliding soul forces shook the ground.

A shell suddenly landed beside him, instantly vaporizing him.

After much deliberation, the man ultimately chose death.

The Star Luo Federation has gone mad for some reason, choosing to cooperate with these Douluo Federation people to eliminate them. So, it's pointless for him to escape no matter where he goes.

His appearance has been remembered by too many Star Luo people, and there is even a special bounty on him. Even if he hides, he will be found sooner or later.

Most importantly, he was tired, really tired, and didn't want to run away anymore.

Destroy it, I'm too tired to love anymore.

With this thought in mind, the man, completely unprepared, took the soul-guided cannonball head-on and died as he wished... That's how it should have been.

But in the end, his body died, but his soul was not freed.

The dejected man stood blankly in a gray space, looking down at his translucent hands.

"What...what's going on?" he muttered to himself. "Wasn't I dead?"

Moreover, the surrounding mist... seems very similar to the abilities of evil spirit masters.

The man's eyes suddenly lit up.

As a prodigy of the Dawn Society, he naturally didn't know the relationship between the Star Luo leadership and the Dawn Society, but he did know that there were evil soul masters among the Dawn Society's leadership.

So, is it possible that a big shot from the Dawn Society has come to the rescue?

Although he felt like he had become a sacrifice, he was willing to do so as long as he could see Huo Yuhao pay the price.

Just as the man's anticipation of revenge was rising, the fog suddenly churned violently. A familiar figure and other souls appeared in his sight, causing the smile on his face to gradually vanish.

Huo Yuhao?!
Yes, the person who collected the souls of these Dawn Society members at this moment was Huo Yuhao.

Through Hades's domain, he collected the souls of these fallen Dawn Society members, decomposed their power, and used it as nourishment for the undead creatures within Hades's domain to enhance their strength.

The man trembled at the sight before him. His fellow members of the Dawn Society had been transformed into pure soul power, greedily devoured by the undead creatures within Huo Yuhao's domain.

Who is the evil spirit master?
Xingluo, in order to exterminate an organization that is not entirely composed of evil spirit masters, you actually cooperated with an evil spirit master?

Are you guys crazy?!
If Tianmeng knew what he was thinking, she would definitely retort.

What do you know? This is called evil turning into good... ptooey, it's good turning into evil!
