Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 802 Those two idiots deserved to die! (6K)

Zhang Peng's words prompted Ma Xiaotao to give him a meaningful look. Zhang Peng was truly an unfathomable figure.

By saying this, Zhang Peng could not only curry favor with Zhong Liwu, but also take the blame upon himself, leaving Zhong Liwu with the impression that he was incompetent and more likely to cause trouble than accomplish anything.

But Zhang Peng is, after all, a Super Douluo. The Holy Spirit Cult would definitely not want to do anything to him. Otherwise, they wouldn't have used so many top-tier healing artifacts to save him after he was almost killed by Huo Yuhao last time.

No wonder my impression of this sixth honorific, Zhang Peng, was so vague. This guy probably deliberately made people think that he was good for nothing but eating.

So, it turns out that within the Holy Spirit Cult, besides myself, a traitor, there are also slackers like Zhang Peng who just coast along?

If a few more of these scoundrels came along, wouldn't the Holy Spirit Cult be bankrupted?

The Imperial Palace of the Sun and Moon Empire.

"What? The hostages escaped?"

Xu Tianran, who was already wearing a full set of humanoid soul tools, suddenly had a penetrating voice that shook the entire roof of the hall.

The prosthetic arm gripped the chair handle tightly, crushing it to pieces. Xu Tianran, dressed in a bright yellow robe, had a face so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.

His eyes were icy as he looked at the people kneeling on the ground below, his gaze filled with murderous intent.

Kneeling below were the leader of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps, and the other Soul Master Corps leader who hadn't been transferred and was stationed around Sunrise City.

"Tell me, what happened? Explain the details clearly."

Xu Tianran barely suppressed his anger and said calmly.

He regained his composure in a short time.

But everyone could sense that this was just the calm before the storm.

If things are not explained clearly, or if there are any mistakes in the process, someone will probably lose their head immediately.

Orange sat next to Xu Tianran, her face also looking rather unpleasant.

Guarded by the Holy Spirit Cult and a Soul Master Corps, and with the Evil Monarch Soul Master Corps, a beast king-level Soul Master Corps that excels in speed, ready to provide support at any time, they still managed to let those hundreds of hostages escape completely. This is simply a disgrace!

Moreover, these hostages are extremely valuable, making the three kingdoms of the original Douluo Continent hesitant to act rashly. At the same time, keeping these people in the Sun Moon Empire is equivalent to greatly restricting the future high-end soul master power of the three kingdoms of the original Douluo Continent.

Now that everyone has fled, all plans have to be changed, and there is a constant possibility of retaliation from the three kingdoms that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent at the border!

The two leaders of the Soul Master Corps immediately began their report. Each of them was responsible for a part of the story, and together they explained the entire process of the hostage's escape.

"What a clever feint! This Zhao Yang is just bait to distract us."

"Someone, please invite the Imperial Advisor to a meeting."

After listening to the two regimental commanders, Xu Tianran coldly gave the order. Immediately, a guard rushed off to relay the message.

Xu Tianran narrowed his eyes, a thoughtful look in them. The most crucial part of guarding the hostages was done by the Holy Spirit Sect, who even used drugs that could dissipate the soul power of soul masters.

But in the end, they managed to get away completely. What is the Holy Spirit Cult doing? Two Title Douluo-level evil soul masters couldn't even hold the place, and couldn't even buy time for reinforcements?

Could these two be the traitors? But they're already dead.

"I heard from Zhang Peng that this whole thing was orchestrated by Shrek Academy again?"

Xu Tianran looked down at the leader of the Evil Monarch Soul Master Group.

Wang Yiheng respectfully reported, "Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely related to Shrek Academy. The main culprit is most likely Huo Yuhao of Shrek Academy, the closed-door disciple of the Dragon God."

"Including Zhao Yang, who besieged the Empress, news of his death only came out after he fought with Huo Yuhao."

Upon hearing this, Orange felt a wave of dizziness and nearly slipped off her chair.

She really hadn't expected that Zhao Yang would be so persistent. Not only did he not die at Huo Yuhao's hands, but he also came up with the slogan: "The empress is in power, the emperor is intoxicated, the evil master has become a master, the emperor's side must be cleansed."

Zhao Yang has now led his men into hiding somewhere in the empire. As long as this rebel army is not wiped out, the empire will not have peace.

Orange could no longer remain calm; at this moment, she felt as if she were sitting on pins and needles.

Upon hearing Wang Yiheng's words, Xu Tianran, who was originally extremely angry, paused for a moment and then said after thinking for a while, "I have a deep impression of this person. I remember the Imperial Preceptor once told me that he and Hun Tiancan of the Soul Palace are geniuses in the fields of spiritual power and physical body, and are the kind of beings who have the potential to break through to the Limit Douluo level in this era."

Xu Tianran narrowed his eyes, a cold glint in them. "He actually came back to save people? It seems he didn't die in the West Mountain Valley. He came out of that strange place alive?"

"Commander Wang, get up. You were only in charge of the rescue. By the time you arrived, the situation was already settled. This matter has nothing to do with you."

Xu Tianran was indeed furious; he wanted nothing more than to kill both of the captains before him to vent his anger. However, reason prevailed, and he restrained this impulse. After all, both captains were high-level Soul Masters, especially Wang Yiheng, who was a level nine Soul Master!

Even for a nation like the Sun Moon Empire, which is rich in Soul Masters, a Level 9 Soul Master is a strategic asset.

Wang Yiheng, commander of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps, is a key figure in protecting the nation. He himself is a Title Douluo, known as the Mad Bull.

Mad Bull Douluo Wang Yiheng is a renowned figure in the world of Soul Masters.

As for the other leader, who was also an eighth-level Soul Master, Xu Tianran absolutely couldn't bear to kill him. But naturally, he would still make him kneel for a while longer.

Before long, Zhongliwu arrived.

Zhongli Wu did not come alone; he was accompanied by Zhang Peng, Ma Xiaotao, and several other evil soul masters.

Upon seeing Xu Tianran, Zhongli Wu merely nodded slightly in greeting.

Xu Tianran's expression softened somewhat, and he said, "Grand Preceptor, please sit."

Zhongli Wu sat down in the first seat below Xu Tianran.

Before Xu Tianran could ask, he took the initiative to say, "Your Majesty, I already know about this matter."

"This happened suddenly, and there's something fishy about it. I'll have my men explain it to you first."

As he spoke, he waved to his subordinates.

At that moment, Zhang Peng and Ma Xiaotao took the lead in speaking, with several other evil spirit masters supplementing their accounts, explaining in detail what they knew.

Although he had already learned of the deaths of the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder, Zhongli Wu was still so angry that he almost cursed when Zhang Peng revealed how incredibly foolish the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder had died.

Those two idiots deserved to die!
