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

Chapter 300 Exposed
Inside the palace, Xu Tianran sat in a wheelchair, looking up at the night sky outside the window.

"It's so late, the people who should be here should be arriving by now."

"Mmm," Orange behind Xu Tianran responded softly.

Suddenly, an old voice rang out in the air, "Now that you're here, don't hide yourselves, come out."

As soon as the voice fell, a large number of guards rushed out and surrounded Xu Tianran's study. The lights of the soul-guided lights shone brightly, illuminating the entire night sky.

Long Xiaoyao appeared out of nowhere, standing in mid-air above the palace, his black robes fluttering gently in the night breeze.

At the Mingyue Hotel, Huo Yuhao watched the commotion near the palace from afar, then turned to look at He Caitou behind him.

"Senior Brother, Elder Xuan has already made a move. The Title Douluo guarding the soul tools and materials in the city should also be drawn there. We should set off as well."

"Alright." He Caitou took out a black cloak he had prepared beforehand and completely concealed his figure. "Junior Brother, are you sure you can confirm the location?"

"Hmm." Huo Yuhao nodded. "That Chen An has ulterior motives. I followed him and met the people who were secretly trading with him. Later, I sensed the aura of a Title Douluo."

“If it weren’t such an important place, the Sun Moon Empire wouldn’t need to send so many experts to guard it.”

Soon, three figures left the Mingyue Hotel under the cover of Huo Yuhao's simulated soul skill.

They needed to leave someone behind to take care of Bei Bei. Not many people left the hotel with Huo Yuhao, but with the storage soul tool, three people were enough.

As the roar continued through the air, streaks of light flashed across the sky above the palace from time to time. The entire sky was like a canvas, allowing various masters to paint it with colors ranging from emerald green to deep yellow.

At the same time, a piercing alarm sounded inside Mingde Hall. After three years, Mingde Hall was attacked again. However, having experienced a surprise attack before, Mingde Hall's response methods were obviously more sophisticated than they were three years ago.

Of course, these changes had little to do with Huo Yuhao and his group at this time, as the three figures had already reached the side of a courtyard.

From the outside, this place seems no different from the other buildings around it, quite inconspicuous, but Huo Yuhao knows that it is full of hidden mechanisms and contains many good things.

Since learning of the existence of the alloy, Huo Yuhao guessed that the Sun Moon Empire had used the alloy to make significant progress in soul tool technology. Last night, he immediately contacted relevant people in the three great empires.

After a night of discussion, they finally settled on a plan to delay the Sun Moon Empire's war preparations.

The best-case scenario would be to successfully assassinate Xu Tianran, but everyone knows that this is also the least hopeful operation. Their real goal is to destroy the Sun Moon Empire's existing soul tools, and their primary target is Mingde Hall.

The people of the other three great empires will also take this opportunity to try to break through the Sun Moon Empire's blockade of Mingdu.

As long as the changes in the capital can attract the mobilization of troops outside, giving the people of the three great empires the opportunity to send messages outward, then more actions can be taken.

As for Huo Yuhao and the others, although he participated in discussing the plan, his strength was ultimately lacking. However, they weren't limited to waiting for news at the Mingyue Hotel; taking advantage of the chaos in Mingdu, there were still many things they could do.

Recalling the entire plan, Huo Yuhao had already directed He Caitou and Wang Dong to break through the mechanisms in the courtyard and enter the underground tunnel.

"Be careful. I've never been here before and don't know what's inside. Be prepared for battle."

He Caitou and Wang Dong nodded silently. The moment the last door opened, Wang Dong's magnificent butterfly wings rose up, and the wing-shaped guillotine slashed forward. Guided by Huo Yuhao's mental detection, the soul master guarding inside was knocked to the ground before he could react.

Relieved, the group finally had time to look at the items stored around them. One glance was enough to change the expressions of all three.

The warehouse contained at least thirty kinds of rare metals, some of which were the first time that Huo Yuhao, a Soul Master, had ever seen them in person.

"So many rare metals..." He Caitou's eyes also lit up. "Could the person who traded with Chen An be from Mingdetang?"

"It's hard to say. The fact that the Xishui Alliance was able to bring out so many rare metals for this Soul Master Competition suggests that they might actually have some legitimate support."

Huo Yuhao shook his head as he spoke, "Forget it, let's not talk about that for now. Since we're here, let's put these things away first. Whether it's the academy or the Tang Sect, these things are priceless treasures."

As he spoke, he extended his mental energy to scan the area carefully, and then suddenly stopped.

"Yuhao, what did you find?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao glanced at Wang Dong and said, "It seems there's more than just this one floor; there's also a secret passage leading underground."

As he spoke, he leaned closer to the wall and tapped it a few times. Sure enough, as the shelf next to him made a creaking sound, a secret passage appeared in front of them.

"Quickly collect all the rare metals here. I'll go down and take a look."

"Well, be careful."

Huo Yuhao nodded without saying anything more and went into the secret passage.

However, when he entered the next level through the secret passage, the huge underground warehouse was empty except for one thing sitting alone on the table in front of him.

Taking a few steps closer, Huo Yuhao finally saw that it was just an ordinary metal mask. However, when he saw the pattern on it, his expression suddenly changed.

As if suddenly remembering something, he turned around abruptly, only to see a black cloak billowing high and descending upon his head.

Using the Ghostly Concealment Step, Huo Yuhao's figure flickered a few times, trying to dodge the attack from the black cloak.

But the cloak relentlessly pursued them, and just when they had created some distance, it suddenly appeared again, covering their eyes.

Huo Yuhao quickly calmed down. With a thought, his mental energy spread forward as if by instinct. However, the next moment, a chill rose from his heart.

He could not sense anyone's presence in front of him; it was empty, as if it were a world filled with deathly silence. Upon contact, his spiritual power "died" within it and could never be retrieved.

Even with his level of mental strength, he had never had such a strange experience, even when he encountered someone whose mental strength surpassed his.

Then he heard a familiar voice from in front of him.

"What, you're already in such a hurry to collect your rewards before the Soul Master Competition finals even begin?"
