Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 794 What does Her Highness the Holy Maiden think? (6K)

They're planning to reclaim their fiefdom and then raise a banner of rebellion.

This is not good news. The territory of the Duke of Baojin is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with high mountains and great rivers as natural barriers. Although it is not easy for Zhao Yang to conquer it, once he does, it will probably take three to five times the number of troops to take it down.

Furthermore, the territory of the Grand Duke of Baojin is rich in resources. Although the output of controlled rare metals is not high, the output of ordinary rare metals is terrifyingly high because there is a large mountain in the territory as a natural barrier.

Otherwise, Xu Tianran wouldn't have contacted their Holy Spirit Cult to set up a scheme, targeting the first person to stick their neck out, and the first one to be dealt with was that tyrannical Duke Jin.

If Zhao Yang were to reclaim his original fiefdom, not only would the empire's annual supply of low-grade rare metals decrease by 20%, but it would also trigger a series of chain reactions, making nobles in various regions eager to stage a grand spectacle of granting fiefdoms to their respective territories.

By then, let alone aiming at the three great empires, the Sun Moon Empire itself would be in dire straits, barely able to save itself.

The Third Elder watched with a solemn expression as the Lone Wolf Soul Mentor Legion departed. Now it seems that the Lone Wolf Legion's decision to abandon their baggage and travel light was not a hasty move, but rather the result of careful consideration.

There's no need to annihilate Zhao Yang's men; they only need to attack from both sides and keep Zhao Yang pinned down. That would complete their mission. Without taking the fiefdom, Zhao Yang is like a grasshopper in a bottle—he has nowhere to fly.

"Third Brother, how credible do you think that kid's words are?"

After watching Huo Yuhao leave, the Fourth Elder frowned and looked at the Third Elder.

Which part are you referring to?

The Third Elder turned to look at the Fourth Elder.

"Of course, it's the part about cooperation later on. The Lone Wolf Regiment mobilized its entire force, even abandoning their supplies. There's no doubt about the credibility of what they said earlier."

The Third Elder nodded upon hearing this: "That's true. I doubt he would dare to resort to tricks in such matters."

"As for the details of the cooperation..."

The Third Elder took a few deep breaths. Huo Yuhao had painted a very lucrative picture for them, making them practically drool.

If what Huo Yuhao said is true, as long as the timing is right, they could even directly destroy the younger generation of the three major empires, including Shrek Academy.

The death of Dragon God Mu En is a foregone conclusion. If the people of the Soul Palace can really trigger a beast tide and lure Poison Undying and Xuanzi away from the mountain, it would be a golden opportunity that would inflict wounds on the three great empires no less than tearing a piece of flesh from a person's heart.

The Body Sect, Shrek Academy, and the prodigies of the three great empires.

The temptation was so great that even though the Third Elder could see the risks behind the deal, his eyes still turned red with envy.

According to Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Pagoda built on the Soul Spirit system will be fully completed soon. At this time, the Soul Spirit has been tested on a small scale among the three great empires and the higher-ups of Shrek Academy, and it is indeed much better than the ordinary Soul Ring system.

This was the best opportunity left for the Holy Spirit Cult. The Soul Palace was responsible for instigating the beast tide, and once Poison Undying and Xuanzi were lured away, the Holy Spirit Cult would immediately strike, annihilating all the young generation of Soul Masters who came to visit and absorb soul spirits with overwhelming force.

At that time, the younger generation of the three empires will inevitably be in short supply, but the loss of high-end combat power will not be too serious. In order to avoid being destroyed by the Sun Moon Empire in the next twenty years due to the depletion of talent, the three empires will inevitably fight a desperate battle.

This, in turn, forces the Sun Moon War faction, represented by Xu Tianran, to rely on the power of the Holy Spirit Cult, with the Soul Palace hidden in the shadows.

Once the four nations have fought to the point where nothing can threaten either side's power anymore, the Holy Spirit Cult and the Soul Palace will be able to swiftly destroy all forces on the Douluo Continent that could threaten them.

At that time, the entire Douluo Continent will be a paradise for evil soul masters. All the common people on the Douluo Continent will become cultivation resources for evil soul masters, and these resources will be able to run, move, and reproduce on their own.

After Huo Yuhao described such a magnificent prospect, the Third Elder's nostrils flared slightly, and his breathing became heavier.

The idea of ​​raising an entire continent of ordinary people and soul masters, with an inexhaustible supply of blood and flesh, seemed to be beckoning to him, causing his body to tremble involuntarily at Huo Yuhao's description.

Even the Dragon God Mu En fell at the last step of becoming a god at level 100, although this seemed to be related to the golden tree left behind by the Sea God Tang San ten thousand years ago.

However, Ming Lei Douluo firmly believed that if he could truly possess the entire population of the Douluo Continent as his blood sustenance, no, even if he only had a city or a prefecture, he could still reach a level similar to Mu En.

As for those with similar strength, the Soul Palace and the Holy Spirit Cult combined probably number in the top two. No matter how powerful the legendary Golden Tree of the Sea God is, it cannot stop their ambition to sacrifice the entire continent and become gods at level 100.

"This matter—let me think about it before making a decision, after all, the risks we face are not insignificant."

The Third Elder leaned back in his chair, his eyes closed, pondering Huo Yuhao's suggestion.

"What does Your Highness think?"

Just then, the Fourth Elder suddenly looked at Ma Xiaotao.

"Instead of waiting for Xu Tianran to accumulate enough power to kick us aside, we might as well take the risk ourselves and force Xu Tianran to rely on us."

"As long as the Soul Palace remains hidden in the shadows, Xu Tianran will not worry about our power becoming too great. He is confident that he can control our Holy Spirit Cult. In that case, we will not be the ones who are kicked out."

Ma Xiaotao's voice was like a cold wind blowing in the dead of winter, carrying an indescribable decisive ruthlessness.

Seeing the black flames surging involuntarily from Ma Xiaotao's body, the Third Elder finally opened his eyes:

"Your Highness is right. We must not let Xu Tianran lead us by the nose. However, this matter is very serious. I must report the situation to the Lord and ask him to make a decision."

The Fourth Elder nodded, then turned to the evil spirit master behind him and asked, "Is there any problem controlling the water prison? Do we have enough medicine?"

"We have enough medicine. We add Soul-Destroying Powder to the water every day. Soaking in water containing Soul-Destroying Powder will prevent even a Title Douluo from gathering their own soul power."

"Moreover, these guys haven't eaten for a long time. Even with their Soul Master physiques, they're all weak and sore all over. A few of them fainted before, and we gave them timely nutrition."

The Fourth Elder said, "We still need to feed them. Under the effects of the Soul-Destroying Powder, these people can't cause any trouble, but we can't let them starve to death. The Sect Leader still has a great use for them. These hostages have a lot of residual value."
