Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 350 Risks and Opportunities (6K)

Wang Yan's tone also carried a hint of fear and lingering apprehension. After pausing and taking a few deep breaths, he spoke: "Fortunately, Yuhao discovered the conspiracy between the Body Sect and the Star Luo Empire."

"Poison Never Dies promises that if they really find the Sun Moon Empire's treasure vault, they will notify you in advance."

"What do you mean?"

Huo Yuhao's eyes widened as he looked at Wang Yan. Although he was asking a question, his expression already showed that he had guessed what Wang Yan's next words would be.

Wang Yan could only shake his head: "The reason why the Sun Moon Empire's Imperial Treasury exists is because there are just too many fixed-position soul-guided shells, so many that they cannot be contained by a few hundred storage soul tools. The only way to hide and store them is by using the treasury in conjunction with storage soul tools."

"Such strategic materials cannot be carried by people at all. The information channel of the Imperial Treasury of the Sun Moon Empire was painstakingly transmitted by a high-ranking undercover agent of the Star Luo Empire more than a hundred years ago. However, after more than a hundred years, no one still knows where the Imperial Treasury is."

"The Star Luo Empire has kept this information to themselves for over a hundred years without revealing a word of it until the appearance of the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo finally made them decide to take the risk."

"Spatial storage soul tools cannot be nested. Even if Poison Undying takes action himself, he cannot take away all the fixed-position soul-guided shells. At most, he can take away the 100,000-year-old embryo and those top-level fixed-position soul-guided shells. The remaining fixed-position soul-guided shells will inevitably be detonated."

"So Yuhao, Caitou, if the Sun Moon Empire really decides to store the 100,000-year-old embryo in the Imperial Treasury, and the Body Sect finds its location, they will detonate all those non-level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons."

"You are under a lot of pressure this time on the exchange student mission. Neither Star Luo nor Body Sect will give up this excellent opportunity to deal a devastating blow to the Sun Moon Empire."

He Caitou couldn't help but swallow. He thought that after Huo Yuhao discovered the conspiracy between Xingluo and Benshizong, the two forces would stop fighting. But even so, the two forces still insisted on going their own way.

Perhaps sensing He Caitou's thoughts, Wang Yan also shook his head: "A 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo, such a precious treasure, has already been taken by the Sun Moon Empire. The Star Luo Empire is already on the verge of exploding, and detonating non-level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells is already the limit."

Wang Yan sighed helplessly and continued, "This exchange mission is very difficult. Although the probability that the Sun and Moon side will store the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo in the Imperial Treasury is very low, and it is more likely to be stored in the Mingde Hall or the Imperial Palace, the probability of storing the embryo in the Imperial Treasury is definitely not zero."

"This mission is very difficult. As exchange students, you not only have to absorb as much advanced technology as possible from the Sun Moon Empire during this year of exchange, but you also have to worry about unexpected situations. Fortunately, according to calculations, if no level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells are detonated, Mingdu will at most be blown down to a corner."

"Even so, these are all just theoretical matters for you. If you don't want to go, the academy will suspend your exchange program with Sun and Moon."

"Your safety is the top priority."

He Caitou looked at Huo Yuhao, and both of them slowly lowered their heads.

Wang Yan's words are absolutely right. Those are all just theoretical scenarios. No one knows what the situation will be like when that day comes. A wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall. Staying safely at Shrek Academy is the wisest choice.

However, Shrek Academy's sudden halt to the exchange student program will inevitably raise questions for the Sun Moon Empire. Whether the Imperial Treasury is detonated or the Mingde Hall is attacked, the Sun Moon Empire will immediately realize that Shrek Academy's suspension of the exchange student program may be related to these events.

Shrek Academy will completely lose the crucial window of opportunity to cross the river by touching the Sun and Moon Soul Tools, or even by touching the Mingde Hall.

"We have to go."

Having figured out the pros and cons, Huo Yuhao raised his head and saw the same determined look in He Caitou's eyes.

Shrek Academy could not afford to miss such an important opportunity. The Sun Moon Empire's top-tier knowledge of soul tools was completely exposed under Huo Yuhao's meticulous mental detection. If they lost this chance to get close to the Soul Tool Holy Land, Shrek Academy probably wouldn't find such an opportunity again for another six thousand years.

"You two."

Wang Yan looked at Huo Yuhao and He Caitou and sighed deeply.

He really didn't want his two children to get involved in this kind of thing at such a young age, but

Wang Yan sighed and said, "In that case, of the two of you, Cai Tou, you will be the one to openly attract the attention of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Showcase your Soul Master talent and keep their attention on you."

"Yuhao, your Soul Master talent has been well hidden within the academy. It wasn't even exposed at the Soul Master Exchange Conference."

"You will be a student with poor soul guidance talent. While they are not so wary of you, do your best to learn the knowledge of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. Your task is even more difficult than Cai Tou's."

"The Body Sect will inform you before they get close to that 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo. In any case, what you need to do is not leave the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and do not rashly enter the Mingde Hall on the day the operation begins, so as to avoid being affected."

"After we return to the academy, we will need to analyze this matter in more detail. Just be prepared for the worst."

After the two left Wang Yan's office, Elder Xuan did not remove the soul power shield around the room, but simply walked out slowly.

Wang Yan looked at Elder Xuan with a complicated expression: "Elder Xuan, is this really fair to these two children?"

"Who can be sure that things will go according to plan?"

In response to Wang Yan's questioning, Elder Xuan could only sigh: "Du Busi has already arranged for Long Aotian to enroll in our academy. This is the sincerity of the Body Sect."

"With war at hand, do we have a choice? Will the Sun Moon Empire give us that choice?"

"It's impossible for us to avoid any risks at all. Being able to learn about the plans of the Body Sect and Xingluo in advance, and to protect Yuhao and Caitou as much as possible in a targeted manner, is already an unexpected bonus."

"On behalf of the academy, the only promise I can make to you is that I will definitely bring them both back safe and sound. During the year that Yuhao and Caitou are exchange students, I will be lurking near Mingdu. If Yuhao and Caitou don't come back, I won't need to return to Shrek Academy."

Wang Yan was immediately moved upon hearing this.
