Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 299 Decision
Ju Zi hurriedly got up and pushed Xu Tianran's wheelchair.

"Your Highness, what happened?"

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps is the strongest Soul Master Corps among the Sun Moon Empire's protectors. They almost never take the initiative to attack, only staying by the side of the royal family. Xu Tianran's sudden transfer of the Royal Soul Master Corps to Mingdu suggests that something big is about to happen.

Xu Tianran glanced around, then turned to look at Ju Zi. "The three great empires have set their sights on me. How can I not be furious?"

"Do they think I'm someone who can be bullied by everyone? Since they want to come, I'll make sure they don't leave alive."

Upon hearing this, Ju Zi lowered her head slightly and pondered for a moment. "Your Highness, please don't upset yourself. However, in my opinion, there may be something else going on in this matter."

"Oh?" Xu Tianran's expression quickly calmed down.

Seeing this, Ju Zi's expression changed slightly. Xu Tianran's personality was unpredictable, and she was not sure if he was really angry.

While pondering in his heart, he kept talking, "Even if the people of the three great empires mobilize experts to enter Mingdu, they probably wouldn't rashly attack the heavily fortified imperial palace. They probably have other purposes."

"So, in your opinion, what are their true intentions?"

Orange pushed Xu Tianran forward slowly. After hearing this, she remained silent for a moment, then gently leaned down and whispered a few words in Xu Tianran's ear.

Upon hearing Ju Zi's words and the sound of the wheelchair rolling over the stone slabs, Xu Tianran smiled faintly and nodded slightly.

Aside from the ministers on the same platform, not many people noticed what was happening around Xu Tianran. Most of the audience was still thinking about what had just happened, but unfortunately, no one was destined to explain to them what the story was all about.

In the rest area of ​​Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao looked at Bei Bei lying to the side, bleeding profusely, and remained silent for a long time, only memories flashing through his mind.

Those were memories of Bei Bei teaching him the Xuan Tian Gong and helping him clear his meridians, memories of teaching him the Tang Clan's secret techniques and giving him the Xuan Shui Dan. After entering the Tang Clan, although Tang Ya was his teacher, many things were taught to him by his senior brother, Bei Bei.

Whether it's for Tang Ya on the ring or for Bei Bei who is injured and unconscious, he can't possibly remain unresponsive.

Suddenly, he stood up abruptly and looked at Tang Ya on the arena.

"Yuhao!"

Wang Yan interrupted him, "What are you going to do?"

"Teacher Wang, please let me go next."

"Can you guarantee that you won't be affected like Beibei when you're with Tang Ya?"

"I—" Huo Yuhao suddenly stopped, unsure how to answer, perhaps even he himself didn't know the answer.

Wang Yan sensed the aura of a seventh-ring Soul Saint emanating from Tang Ya, closed his eyes slightly, and after a moment spoke in a deep voice, "We concede defeat in this match."

"Teacher Wong?"

"No need to say anything more, let's help Beibei heal her injuries first. We need to report Tang Ya's matter to the other teachers in the academy and ask them to help investigate. Before that, let's avoid the Holy Spirit Sect."

"The round-robin tournament uses a points system, so one win or loss won't have much impact. Let's go back first."

"Okay." The group glanced at Beibei, who was still unconscious, and finally nodded in agreement.

Without further hesitation, the group quickly left the rest area with Bei Bei. Before leaving, Huo Yuhao glanced at Tang Ya, his gaze lingering on the Holy Spirit Sect's rest area for a long time.

Lin Xiao pretended not to see it and leaned back in the rest area chair with her eyes closed to rest.

"Elder Xuan, how is it?" At Mingyue Hotel, several Shrek Academy contestants were standing outside Bei Bei's room when a disheveled old man appeared in the hotel without anyone noticing.

"Fortunately, it seems the other party intentionally avoided vital points; the wound that pierced through the chest wasn't too serious." Xuanzi sighed softly and took another swig from the wine jug beside him.

"Why hasn't the eldest brother woken up yet?"

"Perhaps he doesn't want to wake up," Xuanzi guessed, glancing back at Beibei's room.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao looked towards Bei Bei's door, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly turned to Xuan Zi, "Elder Xuan, there is something I would like to discuss with you."

“Okay, then come with me.” Xuanzi nodded and walked towards the conference room on the side. He Caitou seemed to realize something and hurriedly followed.

"Elder Xuan, I wish to enter the Holy Spirit Cult to investigate further."

"No way!" Xuanzi had just sat down when he heard Huo Yuhao's words and suddenly stood up again.

"Elder Xuan..."

“I know how you feel. Seeing Beibei like this also breaks my heart, but dealing with the Holy Spirit Cult is not a simple matter. You can’t let these emotions affect you and make a hasty decision.”

“Elder Xuan, the biggest problem with the Holy Spirit Cult for us is its mystery. We know too little about it. If we want to get specific information, we can only investigate from within their ranks.”

"It's not just because of Teacher Xiaoya and Senior Brother, I also discovered other secrets of the Holy Spirit Cult." Huo Yuhao said, and then recounted how he participated in the Soul Master Competition and how he met the people of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Xuanzi narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Huo Yuhao's serious expression. "Even if this wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision, how do you plan to ensure your safety?"

“Elder Xuan, the abilities of a spirit-type soul master are not easy to detect. In addition, with my simulation soul skill and the disguise techniques of the academy professors, I can guarantee that I will not be discovered.”

"No, it's still too dangerous." Xuanzi waved his hand.

"Elder Xuan," Huo Yuhao spoke again, "did the academy train me as an extreme individual soldier just to protect me?"

"And now there is a pretty good opportunity, if we don't decide now, we might miss it."

Xuanzi remained silent for a long time after hearing this. He turned to look out the window and saw that it had already become night. The light from the soul-guided lighting device shone from the street below and fell on the ceiling through the window.

"It's getting late. I have other plans for tonight. Let's put aside your idea of ​​infiltrating the Holy Spirit Cult for now and think about it some more."

Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, but didn't try to persuade him further. He knew Xuanzi had important matters to attend to later, and he also knew Xuanzi's refusal was for his own safety, but some things…

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao raised his head and said, "Alright, let's go and prepare."

"Yes." Xuanzi nodded slowly. "Be careful."

Outside the meeting room, He Caitou watched Huo Yuhao push the door open and walk out, then peeked inside again, but saw nothing.

"Yuhao, Elder Xuan, he..."

Huo Yuhao gently shook his head. "We'll talk about these things later. We have other things to do tonight."

"Okay." He Caitou breathed a slight sigh of relief. "I'll go with you."
