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

Chapter 305 Leaving
Inside the Mingyue Hotel, Xu Jiujiu and Vina were pacing back and forth in the same room, anxiously observing the commotion outside.

The fighting in the city had subsided for some time, but there had been no news from either the titled Douluo beside them or those who had taken the opportunity to go out and cause other destruction.

Xu Jiujiu's face was quite grim. As someone who had been involved in planning the entire operation, she had a very bad feeling.

"Ahem, Vina, come with me quickly."

Suddenly, a voice rang out in the room. After a long while, she turned around and saw that a figure had appeared beside Vina. Although he was not tall, his aura was extremely intimidating.

"Greetings, Senior Main Body."

"Alright, let's skip the formalities now."

"Grandpa, what exactly is happening outside?"

Upon hearing Vina speak, Poison Undy's already gloomy face darkened even more. "Who would have thought that the one protecting Xu Tianran would be a level 99 Limit Douluo?"

"The Dragon Emperor Douluo has been missing from the continent for a long time. Some people guessed that he had long since died of old age. Who would have thought that he not only did not die, but also stood on the side of the Sun Moon Empire?"

"If it weren't for his consideration for Dragon God Douluo and the Heavenly Soul Empire, I'm afraid Xuanzi and I would have been doomed there."

When Xu Jiujiu heard the words "Limit Douluo," she froze completely. Although she had never seen one in person, she knew the power of a Limit Douluo. With a Limit Douluo around, assassinating Xu Tianran would be a joke.

"What about other places?" Xu Jiujiu asked, somewhat unwillingly.

"I don't know the specifics. When I came back, there was no more movement. I'm afraid the situation isn't much better."

Poison Immortal shook his head, looked at the two who hadn't spoken for a moment, and reached out to grab Vina. "This operation will definitely provoke Xu Tianran's revenge. I'll take you away first, and then I'll see if there's a chance to rescue the others later."

Then he turned to look at Xu Jiujiu beside him, "If you want to leave, I can give you a ride."

Xu Jiujiu was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and after a moment of silence, she shook her head. "No matter what the outcome, this matter was caused by me. I cannot abandon them. I will wait here for news from them."

"Hmph." Poison Undying snorted coldly, said nothing more, and left first with Vina, leaving Xu Jiujiu in the room to wait for news from the others.

Unfortunately, after a while, when the door was knocked on, she was not greeted by the people who were going to participate in the operation, but by a teacher from Shrek Academy.

“Your Highness, the people from the Star Luo Empire…” Wang Yan stopped midway through his sentence, noticing Xu Jiujiu’s somewhat haggard appearance.

"None of your people have returned?"

Hearing Xu Jiujiu's words, Wang Yan became even more certain of his guess, "That's right, there's still no news."

"Did any other teachers in your department hear anything?"

Wang Yan paused for a moment, turned his head to look to the side, and after a long while, he looked over and saw an old man in shabby clothes standing outside the door. There seemed to be some anger left on his face. The aura of a Super Douluo was so strong that it was hard to breathe.

"Senior Taotie."

Xuanzi suppressed the turbulent thoughts in his heart, "Does Your Highness know exactly where our people went?" Xu Jiujiu shook his head and glanced at Wang Yan, "When we made the plan, apart from Xu Tianran and Mingde Hall, we decided on the other targets ourselves. If you didn't even inform them where they went, we would have no idea."

Xuanzi's face darkened instantly upon hearing this. He knew that Xu Jiujiu probably didn't know where Huo Yuhao and the others had gone, but since they left, they had neither returned to the hotel nor sent any signal, so how could he not be anxious?

Moreover, with Bei Bei still unconscious and Huo Yuhao and the other two missing, they can no longer participate in the Elite Tournament.

"excuse me."

Xuanzi left with a single sentence and led Wang Yan toward their room at Shrek Academy. Apart from their footsteps and rapid breathing, there was no other sound along the way.

Xuanzi clenched his fists tightly. In the last Soul Battle Tournament, it was his carelessness that led to the heavy casualties of several inner court disciples, and in the end, only three regular team members were able to take the stage, resulting in the loss of the final championship.

Aside from Bei Bei's injuries, this elite competition also resulted in the complete disappearance of three disciples, one of whom was Huo Yuhao, the most talented individual soldier who had been nurtured by the academy with all its might.

If something happens to Huo Yuhao, he probably won't have the face to return to the academy.

“No, we’re going back now.” Xuanzi suddenly stopped, and Wang Yan, who was following behind, stopped abruptly and looked up at Xuanzi.

"This elite competition is being held in Mingdu. For safety reasons, we did not bring any reserve disciples. Now that Beibei is injured and we have lost contact with Yuhao and the others, we will be unable to participate in the later stages of the competition."

"Moreover, according to information from the Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Sun Moon Empire seems to be intentionally blocking Mingdu."

"No matter what the Sun Moon Empire is planning, the most important thing now is to protect your safety. I will lead you to break out first. We can only think of a solution for Yuhao and the others after reporting to the academy."

“But…” Wang Yan felt a pang of reluctance upon hearing this. He simply couldn’t bring himself to abandon Huo Yuhao and the others and leave like this.

“Yuhao has always been smart and will definitely protect himself. We can’t let the other students be in danger.” Xuanzi made up his mind and no longer hesitated.

"Go and inform the other trainees to take good care of Beibei on the way, and try to get you out of Mingdu before dawn."

"Okay." Even though Wang Yan still felt extremely unwilling about the Elite Competition, he had no choice but to agree. He nodded heavily and then knocked on the doors of the other students.

The residents of Mingdu had lost count of how many times such a commotion had occurred in the city. Just as night was falling, a thunderous sound outside woke many people from their sleep.

The next morning, they discovered that there was much more they didn't know.

Of the thirty-two teams that advanced to the round-robin stage of the Elite Tournament, several disappeared from Mingdu overnight. Among them was the highly anticipated Shrek Academy.

While the people were waiting for an explanation from the royal family, Xu Tianran was nowhere to be seen on the high platform where he usually watched the games.

Even the Regent's wife, Ju Zi, disappeared, leaving only a few ministers and the rather mysterious Imperial Advisor.

The palace seemed to have been suddenly sealed off, and no news came from inside.
