Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 951 Old Deng, step down quickly! (6K)

Right then and there, in front of the auspicious beast, Di Tian told Wang Qiu'er the whole story of how he planned and launched the beast tide, including the cause, process, and result.

The more Di Tian spoke, the worse Wang Qiu'er's complexion became.

When he later spoke of how, after escaping, he planned to completely destroy Shrek City, Wang Qiu'er's anger had reached its peak.

Di Tian himself sensed this, and his voice grew softer and softer, his confidence waning.

From both a logical and emotional perspective, the timing of this beast tide was not appropriate.

At least from Wang Qiu'er's perspective, that's how it is.

She had just obtained the Crystal Caterpillar Sausage from Huo Yuhao. It was made by the God of Food, Oscar, after he became a god, and was blessed by the Resilient Golden Fly. It was a Crystal Caterpillar Sausage that could directly restore the injuries of a god-level expert.

With the help of this thing, the Silver Dragon King only needs to focus on expelling the Asura God Power from his body. At most, he will be alive and kicking again in ten thousand years, or perhaps as little as a thousand years.

The Silver Dragon King just said that he would talk about everything after he recovered from his injuries.

As a result, Di Tian turned around and gambled away all the wealth that Wang Qiu'er had worked so hard to accumulate over ten thousand years.

He hasn't won anything yet, and now he's clearly on his way to the rooftop, staring blankly at all his belongings.

How could Wang Qiu'er not be angry!

By the end, Di Tian's voice was extremely soft, and he even seemed afraid to look at Wang Qiu'er, his eyes becoming increasingly evasive. However, he still managed to say everything he had to say.

"The main purpose of launching this beast tide is to kill your friend, Huo Yuhao, which is why I arranged for other soul beasts to keep an eye on you."

Wang Qiu'er seemed to have guessed this long ago, but she asked a question in return.

"So, you killed him?"

Di Tian remained silent.

Wang Qiu'er didn't know what to say. Luckily, she fed the Crystal Caterpillar Intestine to the Silver Dragon King first, otherwise Di Tian would have definitely exported the Crystal Caterpillar Intestine as well.

They even said they were intimidated by the poison and the old man, but later they found out that the other party only had a little over half a diamond sausage. If they fought quickly, they might be able to win.

Huo Yuhao still has the steadfast Golden Fly!

He didn't say it, but you really think he didn't?

That spendthrift Ning Rongrong from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School gave Huo Yuhao three treasures at once. Oh, and there was also the God-Slaying Whip, which Huo Yuhao snatched away.

And that undead demiplane gate that could steal the God-Slaying Whip—if Huo Yuhao could reveal such a big trump card to her, do you believe he doesn't have ten or eight other trump cards up his sleeve?

Those were his trump cards, meant for that final, tough battle. If you push him too far and make him reveal all his cards, he'll have no more trump cards to play, but then Star Dou Forest will be finished!

Taking a few deep breaths, the auspicious beast managed to regain its composure.

"Pay the money if you have to, make the payment if you have to, and stand up straight when you're being beaten."

Wang Qiu'er waved her hand, somewhat disheartened.

"Those level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells that Huo Yuhao just buried in the ominous place yesterday."

Di Tian looked at the auspicious beast, intending to seek its opinion first.

"My opinion is not to touch it. This is Huo Yuhao's strategic deterrent against our Star Dou Forest. We must not touch it, or we will suffer the consequences."

Di Tian's face showed a look of disbelief. If he couldn't deal with Huo Yuhao, how could he not deal with what Huo Yuhao left behind?

We can take one or two out and give them to the Demon King to study, to see if he can develop a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell like the ones used by his ferocious beasts.

The auspicious beast didn't try to persuade Di Tian anymore, but just gave him a meaningful look.

The auspicious beast's meaning was clear: go ahead and touch it, I can't stop you, just don't forget how Huo Yuhao completely humiliated you in your mastery of spatial arts.

Your Di Tian's sealed space was easily destroyed by Huo Yuhao. You can only break through Huo Yuhao's sealed space by force. If you think that you can safely retrieve all the level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons buried under the Star Dou Forest by relying on the spatial seal, then go ahead and retrieve them.

"I won't touch it anymore, I won't touch it anymore. I was just saying it casually, wasn't I just asking for your opinion?"

Di Tian scratched his head sheepishly and awkwardly changed the subject: "Sigh, I can't deny getting old. In the future, I'll have to learn from you young soul beasts. If there's another ferocious beast meeting in the future, you should come too, auspicious beast."

Di Tian's words clearly implied a decentralization, or even a transfer of power. Although Di Tian valued auspicious beasts in the past, he did not treat them as entities that managed and made decisions for the Star Dou Forest. At most, they were just beloved juniors and portable cultivation accelerators.

After the beast tide was over, Di Tian realized that the Star Dou Forest might finally be facing a power transition. The Star Dou Forest needed a leader with a more strategic vision to lead it forward.

This has nothing to do with strength, but only with whether the leader can make the right choices at critical junctures.

The far north and the ocean have silently changed leaders, and both have chosen to befriend Huo Yuhao, this outlier in the human world. With the auspicious beast as a ready-made candidate, there is no reason for Di Tian not to use it.

Perhaps not stopping the auspicious beast from taking a trip to the human world was one of the few correct decisions it made.

The auspicious beast simply nodded slightly before speaking, "In a few days, I'll go to Shrek City with you, and we'll also see Xiong Jun off one last time."

Inside the Sea God Pavilion, the golden ancient tree was still in a state of half-death, neither truly dead nor truly alive.

Huo Yuhao sat in the auxiliary seat of the Sea God Pavilion, his position even ahead of Yan Shaozhe and the others, which made the elders' eyes reveal their dissatisfaction.

The look in his eyes wasn't directed at Huo Yuhao, but at Elder Xuan.

Old Deng has had enough of sitting in the position of Sea God Pavilion Master for two days. This meeting was convened by Yuhao. Shouldn't he hurry up and give up his seat for Yuhao?

Seeing the same look in the eyes of the other elders who were around his age, Elder Xuan felt quite helpless.

What's the rush? I'm even more anxious than you. Yuhao is still a Soul Saint, isn't he? Once Yuhao is officially recognized as a Soul Saint, I'll step down without hesitation and sit with you all. All you ever do is rush.

Especially Poison Undying, you're not even one of us from the Sea God Pavilion, so why are you helping Old Song and Old Zhuang glare at me?

A group of elders, whose combined age might exceed a thousand, stared at each other, their eyes filled with resentment, until Huo Yuhao finished tidying up his speech and tapped the table, which restored the elders' seriousness.

"That's roughly the gist of it. Are there any other questions?"

After Huo Yuhao finished speaking, he revealed that he had buried a level-nine fixed-position shell under the Star Dou Forest to threaten Di Tian after he left, as well as the various compensations Di Tian had offered.

Although Huo Yuhao concealed the existence of the Silver Dragon King and matters related to the God Realm, he also fully explained the cooperation and agreements he had discussed with Di Tian.
