Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 1069 The Enemy is at the Gates (6K)

Three months later.

"What? Yuhao went into seclusion? Didn't he return from the Sun Moon Empire a long time ago?"

Xianliner stood in front of Nana, her eyes filled with anxiety.

"this……"

Nana was also speechless. The length of Huo Yuhao's seclusion this time had exceeded their expectations.

At this time, Huo Yuhao was in seclusion, while Wang Dong'er and others were still outside carrying out missions. In fact, Nana had no idea what had happened.

Xian Lin'er's breathing was noticeably uneven. "When did Yuhao become so unreliable? What time is it? He's still in seclusion? What is he trying to do?"

Xian Lin'er paced back and forth in anger.

Nana was also somewhat helpless, but facing Xian Lin'er's anger, Nana still said neither arrogantly nor humbly, "Dean Xian, please be mindful of your attitude towards my master."

Xian Lin'er was speechless for a moment after hearing this, but she managed to suppress her eagerness.

"Let's go, take me to find Yuhao. If his seclusion isn't too deep, let him retrieve his equipment from this period so we can make arrangements."

"Do you know that right now, a hundred miles outside Shrek City, the main force of the Sun Moon Empire, numbering over 600,000, including at least eight Soul Master Corps, is lurking there, ready to launch an attack on us at any moment?"

Nana was stunned; she really didn't know. Hearing Xian Lin'er say that, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

The Sun and Moon Empire has only had three months to recover, and now it's already at war again?

Are they crazy? Unable to defeat Xingluo and Douling Empire, they're actually planning to go all in and directly crush Shrek Academy?

Nana had been honed by various tasks over this period and immediately began to analyze the strategic intentions behind the Sun Moon Empire's actions.

Currently, the Evil Emperor is probably still keeping an eye on Mingdu. The Sun and Moon Empire is determined not to let Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao come out in full force. This means that it will not be difficult for Elder Xuan and Poison Undying to stop the Holy Spirit Sect's ultimate fighting force by working together.

However, apart from that, the Holy Spirit Cult does have more titled combat power than Shrek Academy, especially in terms of level 98 combat power. Shrek Academy currently has no one, while the Holy Spirit Cult has two: Zhongli Wu and Feng Ling!

But this should not be the reason why the Holy Spirit Cult is going all-in with the Sun and Moon Empire.

If Huo Yuhao were here, he could probably deduce the root cause of all this, because he possessed information that neither Xian Lin'er nor Nana knew.

The Holy Spirit Cult and the Evil Eye Clan once cooperated very closely, which means that the Holy Spirit Cult's actual stronghold may not be in Mingdu, but in the Demon Forest!

However, after he pinned such a huge accusation on the Holy Spirit Cult, it's highly likely that the Holy Spirit Cult's stronghold will be lost.

This is probably the real reason why the Holy Spirit Cult wants to fight Shrek Academy before Huo Yuhao has fully grown up. Without its stronghold and with its various reserves controlled by the Evil Emperor, the Holy Spirit Cult is now desperate.

"But, Dean Xian, Yuhao is in seclusion. What if we disturb him and cause him to suffer a qi deviation?"

Xian Lin'er became increasingly depressed, as she had always shown great care and concern for Huo Yuhao.

However, at this time, Huo Yuhao has been in seclusion for so long. The Soul Palace's supplies were originally delivered once a month, but now three months have passed and there hasn't been even one delivery. How could she not be anxious?

Huo Yuhao didn't actually do it on purpose, but even he hadn't expected that condensing the Yin-Yang complementary second soul core would be so difficult.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao's second soul core is a pure spiritual power second soul core that is comparable to the first soul core of all attributes.

Three months is really not a long time. Even someone as powerful as Di Tian spent an unknown amount of time preparing a second soul core that complements Yin and Yang.

"Don't I know his seclusion is important? But what if the Sun Moon Empire attacks and our defenses are insufficient?"

Xian Lin'er was somewhat anxious, even a little impatient.

"Dean Xian, please don't worry. There's no point in rushing this."

"Dean, how about this: we'll take you to his secluded cultivation location first. With your cultivation level, you'll surely be able to sense his state of seclusion. If you feel he can be awakened, then we'll wake him up first."

"If it's not possible, I believe you won't insist. After all, if the Lord goes mad, he won't be able to chant the incantation to communicate with the demiplane, and the supplies will still be stuck inside."

"Furthermore, since the Lord went into seclusion after making the arrangements, he must have been certain that the academy was in good condition to deal with any unexpected changes. The Lord never fights a battle he is not prepared for."

Xianlin'er stamped her foot. "That's the only way. Take me there to have a look."

If it were anyone else who made such a mistake, given Xian Lin'er's temper, she would have stormed in long ago. But with Huo Yuhao, she really couldn't afford to lose her temper.

If it weren't for him and his Soul Palace, the Sun Moon Empire wouldn't have simply conquered the Fighting Spirit Empire.

Everyone has truly witnessed the terrifying war potential of the Sun Moon Empire in the past few years. Xian Lin'er's eagerness is essentially a manifestation of her extreme dependence on the soul tools produced by the Soul Palace.

If she had more strategic reserves, she could feel more at ease. The Soul Guidance Legion of the Sun Moon Empire was truly terrifying, not to mention that they had now brought new types of linked Soul Guidance Devices, making them even more powerful.

"Yuhao, is he in seclusion at the Sea God Pavilion?"

With Nana's guidance, Xian Lin'er finally understood that Huo Yuhao had actually been in seclusion in the Sea God Pavilion since returning to Shrek Academy.

Nana knew exactly where Huo Yuhao's research lab was. They arrived there quickly. However, they were stopped before they could even get close. The one who stopped them was none other than Elder Xuan.

"Nana, Lin'er, Yuhao is in seclusion over there. What are you doing here?"

Elder Xuan's tone was very firm, clearly indicating that he wanted to get rid of them.

Nana smiled wryly, "Elder Xuan, something terrible has happened. The Sun Moon Empire's army is at the city gates. Yuhao forgot about the monthly equipment delivery. That's why Dean Xian came looking for him. How far into his seclusion are you now?"

Elder Xuan paused for a moment, looked at Xian Lin'er who was anxious, and said, "I don't know how far he's gone in his seclusion. But we absolutely must not disturb him."

"Yuhao is condensing his second soul core, and it's a yin-yang complementary second soul core. Even if the sky falls, we'll have to wait until Yuhao comes out of seclusion."

Xuan Lao's resolute tone made Xian Lin'er smile wryly, but then she gasped as she understood the meaning behind his words.

"What? Yuhao is condensing a second soul core, and it's a yin-yang complementary second soul core?"

Xian Lin'er was so shocked she could hardly speak. If she remembered correctly, the last time she saw Yu Hao was a few months ago, when Yu Hao was still a Soul Saint, right?

How come you're about to condense your second soul core in the blink of an eye?
