Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 336 The Alliance's Way Out

"Wouldn't it be inappropriate to do something like this in public...?"

Huo Yuhao glanced around guiltily, noticing the gazes that kept falling on him. He swallowed hard and subconsciously lowered his voice.

"What happened this morning really caused a stir, so many people are paying attention here... Should we go back to the hotel?"

Although he had a simulated soul skill to conceal his identity, his identity was exposed in the morning, causing quite a stir. Even though most of the day had passed, many spectators around him were still subtly casting glances at him.

"Why not just keep it from others? They can't see it anyway."

A clear, ethereal voice rang out, and before he could say another word, Gu Yuena reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, leaning forward to seal his lips with hers.

A sweet aroma accompanied by a warm touch filled Huo Yuhao's mouth, stimulating his already shaky rationality under the girl's actions.

During lunch break, Gu Yuena took off her Spirit Pagoda team uniform and changed into her usual plain white dress.

At first, Huo Yuhao was a little confused, but when he saw Gu Yuena straddling his lap face to face and reaching out to pull down his pants, he understood everything.

"call--"

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Yuena finally reluctantly opened her mouth. As she breathed heavily, she glanced down without making a sound, and upon seeing the little monster gradually reviving, she couldn't help but purse her lips slightly.

"It seems your mouth and your body aren't on the same page?"

"..."

Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitched, and he wanted to explain, but in the end he could only let out an awkward cough.

He knew very well that this was wrong, but Xiao Huo wouldn't listen to him.

"Since this is the last time I'll participate in this competition, I should at least finish what I want to do and leave no regrets, right?"

"...Don't you have some misunderstanding about the idea of ​​leaving no regrets in the competition?"

Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded. Shouldn't what everyone meant by leaving no regrets be to fight with all their might for the championship?

How come it's become about you doing bad things in a competition with so many people?

I don't know if it's a misunderstanding or not, but I want to do it this way.

Gu Yuena blinked twice, leaned close to Huo Yuhao's ear, and whispered seductively.

"After all, I feel you'd be more excited in this situation... I'd like to give it a try."

Huo Yuhao's breathing quickened instinctively. Before he could react, Gu Yuena in his arms had already quietly lifted her skirt, pushed aside her somewhat cumbersome undergarments, and eagerly sat down.

As the slender waist slowly sank, Huo Yuhao's body stiffened as if he had been electrocuted. Feeling the strange sensation that shot along his spine into his mind, the two of them simultaneously uttered sounds that were hard to tell whether they were in pleasure or pain.

"Mmm... kiss me, kiss me."

Gu Yuena tilted her head back, her face flushed slightly, her mouth slightly open, unconsciously licking her bright red lips, which looked exceptionally alluring with their moist appearance.

Even so, she never stopped the slight downward movement of her waist.

Seeing Gu Yuena's posture, Huo Yuhao felt his head explode. The lust aroused in his heart made him disregard everything else. He pulled her into his arms and tasted that familiar sweetness again.

The downward motion continued until their lips parted, and Gu Yuena had unknowingly sat on Huo Yuhao's lap, wantonly feeling his entirety.

Amidst their rapid breathing, the two exchanged a hazy glance, skillfully and tacitly creating a new, unknown battlefield in the rest area outside the arena.

Battle is imminent.

……

Meanwhile, inside the Mingyue Hotel, a burly man with long blue hair quietly appeared on the floor where the Haotian Sect was located.

After passing through countless rooms, the man finally stopped in front of the door marked with the word "Captain" and knocked.

Soon, a slightly wary voice came from behind the door.

"Who?"

"I am Niu Tian."

"metropolitan!?"

Upon hearing the man's reply, the sounds inside the room instantly shifted from surprise to joy, and the tightly closed door opened in response.

The person in charge of opening the door was the Third Elder, who was leading the Haotian Sect in this competition.

After confirming that the person standing at the door was Niu Tian, ​​a respectful expression appeared on his face, and he explained with a hint of apology in his voice.

"I'm sorry, Sect Master, I was worried that the Holy Spirit Cult might take this opportunity to secretly harm Tang San, so..."

"It's alright. The situation is special right now, so we should be more vigilant. You're doing this for the safety of the sect's disciples, which is commendable."

Niu Tian waved his hand, offered a few words of simple comfort, and then got straight to the point: "I saw the matches this morning. How is Tang San doing?"

"That's not good."

The Third Elder's face fell, and his tone became heavy: "The backlash from the Great Sumeru Hammer was too intense, almost completely destroying Tang San's body from the inside out. Although he didn't lose his life, the injuries left behind cannot be healed by conventional means..."

"Actually, judging from Tang San's physical condition, the backlash from the Great Sumeru Hammer did not cause him as much damage as expected. However, he was later provoked by Huo Yuhao in some way, and while struggling, he tried to forcefully use his strength, which further aggravated his injuries."

At this point, the Third Elder's expression became somewhat strange.

"In addition, he seems to have been subjected to some kind of intense stimulation before he fell into a coma, which caused him to be under extreme mental tension. He is now in a deep sleep and it will probably be difficult for him to wake up in the short term."

"……I see."

Niu Tian pretended to think for a while before offering a solution: "There's no time to lose. I happen to know a place where Tang San's injuries can be treated. I'll take him directly from the hotel to receive treatment there."

He had been worried that Tang San might be reluctant to enter the Valley of Love and Destiny, but now he didn't have to worry about that anymore.

Moreover, he wasn't lying. Judging from Tang San's current physical condition, these hidden injuries couldn't possibly be cured by simply giving him some herbs like before.

The only solution is to send him to the Valley of Love and Destiny, where Tang San from the God Realm can personally treat him.

Upon hearing Niu Tian's words, the Third Elder trembled: "Yes, Sect Master!"

Although he wasn't the one receiving this treatment, seeing the sect leader secretly following the group for the safety of the disciples and promptly appearing to treat them when they were injured, he felt a warmth rise in his heart for no reason.

With such a meticulous and caring sect leader, how could their Haotian Sect not prosper?

With deep respect for Niu Tian, ​​the Third Elder continued to press, "Sect Master, shall the rest of us return to Haotian Sect first, or...?"

"Let's not rush back. Huo Yuhao caused huge losses to the sect two years ago, and now he has severely injured and humiliated Tang San in public. If we just swallow our anger, what will the world think of the Clear Sky Sect?"

Niu Tian shook his head, his eyes filled with hatred: "What you need to do next is to monitor Huo Yuhao for me. If he doesn't participate in the next competition, or doesn't appear on the field, you should immediately notify the Sect Master of the Body Sect, Du Busi, and tell him that everything is going well. Also, have him lead the alliance to gather near the City of Original Sin as planned and wait for my arrival."

"Yes, Sect Master."

……

boom--!

As the door to the room was roughly pushed open from the outside by Du Busi, a group of powerful figures, mostly from the Heavenly Soul and Fighting Spirit Empires, filed in one after another, barging into the room without any scruples.

The first thing that caught everyone's eye was Elder Xuan, who was lying on the bed with a pale face.

And Yan Shaozhe, sitting on the edge of the bed, was watching everyone with a solemn and vigilant expression.

Seeing the hostile look on everyone's faces, Yan Shaozhe instinctively stepped in front of Elder Xuan and asked in a deep voice.

"You all barged into the room without even a greeting. What are you trying to do?"

"What do you want to do?"

Poison Undying sneered: "Of course I wanted to see if that old bastard Xuanzi had been beaten to death by the genius disciple taught by your Shrek Academy."

The latest chapter of this novel is available on the first release page. Please go and read it there!

"Don't even mention forcing your way into the room. If it weren't for that old bastard Xuanzi's behavior this morning, just the fact that Huo Yuhao comes from your Shrek Academy would have been enough reason for me to kill you both on the spot! The fact that you're even standing in front of me and speaking to me is already a sign of my mercy!"

"That's easy to say, but why didn't we see many of them step up during the competition?"

Yan Shaozhe scanned the crowd, a mocking smile suddenly appearing on his lips: "Could it be that you all are bullies who prey on the weak, choosing to vent your anger on me and Elder Xuan because you dare not cause trouble for Huo Yuhao?"

As if their deepest thoughts had been exposed, everyone's expressions suddenly turned cold.

"Yan Shaozhe, I'm only letting you off the hook because you're my junior. But by seniority, who here isn't your senior? You'd better show me some respect! Otherwise, I won't hesitate to teach you a lesson about manners on behalf of Mu En!"

"You dare mention the teacher's name?"

Being treated so disrespectfully, Yan Shaozhe's face showed a hint of anger. However, before he could speak, Elder Xuan behind him raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.

"Shao Zhe, let me talk to them."

Yan Shaozhe's expression froze. After hesitating for a moment, he finally stepped aside somewhat reluctantly.

Elder Xuan turned his gaze to the crowd before him and responded coldly.

"As you all have seen, although I am seriously injured, my body is not fundamentally damaged, and I will not die anytime soon."

"If you've come here looking for trouble, I'm not only willing to fight you to the bitter end, but I might even take a few of you down with me before I die. So if you have other motives for coming here, I advise you not to engage in such provocative behavior."

Poison Immortal's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he was about to say something when Tianyang Douluo from the Douling Empire stopped him.

"Alright, Poison Sect Master, we're all in the same alliance. Elder Xuan's actions this morning have proven his stance. Let's not let these conflicts ruin our harmony."

If these two continue to cause trouble, this ordinary show of force might really turn into a diplomatic incident.

Just as Elder Xuan himself said, even though he is injured now, he can still unleash considerable fighting power if he really wants to fight to the death.

Pushing this fighting force, which could have been used to conquer the City of Original Sin, to the opposite side, and even fighting over it, will only make the already insufficient fighting force of the alliance worse.

After calming down Du Bu Si, he turned his head to look at Elder Xuan.

Although his tone was much milder than that of Du Bu Si, Tian Yang Douluo still maintained his usual toughness.

"Gluttonous Douluo, even putting aside personal feelings, the fact that Huo Yuhao comes from Shrek Academy is still an indisputable fact. This is the consequence of Shrek's poor supervision, and now the whole continent has to pay the price for your actions."

"Of course, we're not here to hold Shrek Academy accountable, but to work together to resolve this potential threat that could erupt at any moment. Having experienced it firsthand, you know better than any of us just how terrifying Huo Yuhao's talent and strength truly are."

"This level of evil soul master is unprecedented even in the entire history of the continent. If we continue to let it go, the Holy Spirit Cult will become a sword hanging over everyone's head under his leadership. No matter how nice Huo Yuhao's words were this morning, no one knows if this sword will fall at some point in the future."

"..."

Seeing that Xuanzi had tacitly agreed with his opinion, Tianyang Douluo pressed his advantage and revealed his purpose.

"Although we have a high chance of success with the participation of the Haotian Sect Master, there is still a risk of failure. Moreover, no one knows whether the plan can be executed smoothly. If it fails, judging from Huo Yuhao's performance today, we may not be able to bear the consequences."

"So we got together at noon to think about it and came up with a backup plan for the alliance..."

Elder Xuan frowned slightly: "What backup plan?"

"His family."

Tianyang Douluo explained coldly, "Five years ago, during the Star Luo Soul Master Competition, Huo Yuhao refused the White Tiger Duke's request for reconciliation for his mother's sake and forced him to kneel down and apologize in public."

"From this, we can infer that Huo Yuhao's mother holds a very high place in his heart. Considering that he is a very sentimental person, if we can take his mother hostage, it will definitely make him hesitant to act rashly afterward!"

"I know that Shrek Academy investigates the backgrounds of talented students beforehand, and I'm sure you have information about his mother. I hope you can share that information with us."

"impossible!"

Xuanzi refused without hesitation: "You're all insane! You actually want to threaten Huo Yuhao by harming an innocent ordinary person? Once you do something so utterly shameless, how are you any different from an evil soul master!?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was either ashamed or embarrassed, and their expressions were not very good. Only Tianyang Douluo remained cold and retorted in a loud voice.

"What do you think we're doing this for? If it weren't to stop the Holy Spirit Cult from growing stronger, if it weren't to maintain peace on the continent, who would be willing to use ordinary people to threaten Huo Yuhao?"

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. He's a self-degrading evil spirit master who's willing to slaughter countless lives for cultivation. Should we really worry about the morality of our methods? As long as the people are spared the persecution of evil spirit masters, what's wrong with us being petty?"

Seeing Elder Xuan's grim expression, Tianyang Douluo paused before adding more.

"Moreover, this is merely a backup plan. If the plan succeeds, we won't harm his mother. On the contrary, if the plan fails, without this safeguard, have you considered how many people would lose their lives due to Huo Yuhao's revenge? That would be true devastation!"

"..."

Elder Xuan took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes, as if he was making a decision in his heart.

After a long while, he asked in a hoarse voice.

"If the alliance's plan fails, how will you treat Huo Yuhao's mother?"

Tianyang Douluo's eyes lit up, as if he had sensed Elder Xuan's wavering, and he quickly spoke up to reassure him.

"Don't worry, although it's a threat, we will never mistreat his mother."

"According to the plan, we will secretly move her to a place where Huo Yuhao can't find her, and provide her with good food and drink until he agrees to our conditions..."
