Transmigrating into Douluo Continent: I Am a Master

Chapter 182 Oranges

The group walked in a long, unhurried manner, heading straight for where Huo Yuhao and the others were sitting.

For a moment, everyone's hearts were pounding in their throats.

What does this mean? Have they discovered the true nature of our Tang Clan's forces? Are they going to openly attack us now?

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but let his mind wander. He quietly placed his right hand behind his back, and the Dark Gold Terror Claw silently extended out.

The soldiers stopped in front of Huo Yuhao, stared at him, and said, "My master would like to speak with you privately."

"I don't even know who your master is, so I can't go." Huo Yuhao revealed a very provocative smile, but in reality, he was extremely nervous.

The person shrouded in a cloak whispered something in the ear of the leading soldier.

Then the soldier leaned close to Huo Yuhao and said, "May I whisper something in your ear?"

Huo Yuhao frowned upon hearing this, unsure of what to do for a moment, and turned his gaze to Bei Bei and Wang Dong'er beside him.

Both of them gave Huo Yuhao an affirmative look, indicating that they would act immediately should any unexpected incident occur, and Huo Yuhao had also made some preparations.

"Can."

After receiving Huo Yuhao's affirmative answer, the soldier bent down even lower, leaned close to Huo Yuhao's ear, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Orange."

Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted in shock. He turned his head sharply and focused his gaze on the person whose figure was hidden in the cloak.

"Mr. Huo, is it alright now?"

The soldier stood up and asked again.

"Okay, where are we going?" Huo Yuhao asked as he stood up.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao was going to meet them, Bei Bei, Wang Dong'er, and their group also quickly got up.

The soldier reached out to stop him, saying, "I'm sorry, my master only has an appointment with Mr. Huo."

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao quickly said to his companions, "I know who wants to see me. Don't worry, there's no danger."

"Yuhao—" Wang Dong'er whispered.

Huo Yuhao gave him a reassuring look and a smile: "Don't worry, wait for me to come back here."

The soldiers and the man in black robes turned and left, with Huo Yuhao following closely behind them.

Instead of taking the hotel's soul-guided elevator, they walked up the stairs to the floor where the Tang Sect's rooms were located.

This puzzled Huo Yuhao, but he still followed behind the other person.

The other person took out the access card for Huo Yuhao's room, opened the door, and went inside.

Huo Yuhao began to worry. Was the other person really Ju Zi? Had his relationship with Ju Zi been discovered? Or was it some kind of assassin planted by the Holy Spirit Cult?

Huo Yuhao's throat moved slightly as he entered the room with intense concentration.

Fortunately, as the door closed, the woman in black removed her thick hat, revealing her true identity.

"Ju Zi? It really is you." A golden light appeared in Huo Yuhao's eyes as he confirmed the details of the other person's body. There was nothing strange about it, and he was absolutely certain that the person standing in front of him was indeed Ju Zi.

But Ju Zi's expression wasn't good. Her eyes were somewhat vacant, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking. She gave a bitter smile, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Yuhao—why did you come to Mingdu? This is a trap! This is hell! Why did your academy send such a prodigy like you here?"

Huo Yuhao didn't consider Ju Zi's feelings. He knew that he and Ju Zi had feelings for each other in the past. But now everything was different. He already had Wang Dong'er, and his relationship with Wang Qiu'er was already complicated. He couldn't let his feelings get any more tangled up. Besides, Huo Yuhao had gleaned more important information from Ju Zi's words.

"Orange, what do you mean by 'trap'? What exactly does the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire intend to do in this Soul Fighting Tournament?"

"What tricks?" Huo Yuhao asked excitedly.

"Squeak!" Huo Yuhao and Ju Zi heard a sound coming from the door of the room. They saw Zhang Mo with a smile on his face, holding one of the guards that Ju Zi had brought in each hand.

"This must be the Empress of the Sun Moon Empire. I apologize for coming uninvited, but I'd also like to hear what kind of conspiracy Xu Tianran is plotting behind the scenes."

Zhang Mo's smile wasn't exactly friendly as he walked into the room.

Orange's body began to tremble slightly. Her itinerary was supposed to be kept secret from the entire time, and even Xu Tianran didn't know that she was here.

"You, you're Master Zhang Mo? Huo Yuhao's master? How did you know we were here?"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. These are some of my little secrets." Zhang Mo shrugged.

Huo Yuhao suddenly realized that this might be the prophetic ability that his teacher had once shown to Elder Yi.

In fact, Zhang Mo knew that Ju Zi would definitely miss Huo Yuhao and come looking for him, so Zhang Mo silently left a mental mark on Huo Yuhao's body.

Just now, he noticed that Huo Yuhao had suddenly separated from the Tang Clan members, and hadn't even brought Wang Dong'er with him. Zhang Mo knew that it was this woman with great power in the Sun Moon Empire who had arrived.

Zhang Mo closed the door, breaking the touching reunion, and took a stool from Huo Yuhao's room to sit down. He gestured for Ju Zi to sit down as well.

Orange glanced at the two remaining soldiers guarding the room.

"Your Majesty, if I were you, I would never make such a decision to oppose me. You wouldn't want your husband, in name only, to go out on a date with a junior colleague he met in the lab when they were young, would you?"

Zhang Mo spoke casually, but Ju Zi was extremely nervous and scared.

There's no other reason than that Zhang Mo was absolutely right. If Xu Tianran finds out that he secretly met with Huo Yuhao tonight, no matter how Ju Zi explains, it will only make Xu Tianran want to kill Huo Yuhao, and her own life will be in danger as well.

Finally, Orange gave in. She let out a sigh of relief and said to the guard beside her, "Bring me a chair too."

o

Then, Ju Zi sat down and honestly told everyone she knew about Xu Tianran and the Holy Spirit Cult's plans.

"So, the infiltration of the Star Luo Empire's academy was all within Xu Tianran and the Holy Spirit Cult's expectations?"

"Then they will activate the magic array they prepared in advance to sacrifice all the participating team members."

"Uh... there's no option of submission or surrender; everyone's going to be sacrificed by the Holy Spirit Cult?"

"That's right."

Ju Zi looked into Zhang Mo's eyes and answered his question seriously.

"Hmm—"

The events unfolded somewhat differently from the original timeline, and I was particularly concerned about the mark on Xu Tianran's forehead described by Orange.

Could it be that Xu Tianran possesses a trial from a deity?
