Douluo Continent: The Spirit-Eyed Detective Huo Yuhao

"It's quite an exquisite thing." Long Xiaoyao played with the Conferred God Platform in his hand. He didn't know how to make soul tools, but he could still use this Conferred God Platform without any problem.

"Just wander around and look for that Scorpion Tiger Zhang Peng. If it's a 100,000-year-old soul beast, I'll go back and say I haven't found it yet." Long Xiaoyao thought to himself, anyway, even if he didn't complete the mission, no one would dare to say anything to him.

As for that dark cloud, it's probably dead.

It's impossible for him to escape from the Holy Spirit Church; they can't find him anyway, so he must be dead.

Long Xiaoyao guessed that it was probably related to the scorpion tiger.

"I'm also quite curious about the Snow Country; it would be good to go and take a look." Long Xiaoyao was very interested in the method that could exorcise evil spirits.

"what?"

Long Xiaoyao turned his head to look into the depths of the far north, where a very strong aura had suddenly erupted and then disappeared in an instant.

It disappeared quickly, but he still felt it.

"Very strong. That must be one of the three great ferocious beasts of the far north. Why did it suddenly reveal such an aura? It doesn't seem to be targeting me." Long Xiaoyao thought for a moment and decided to go and take a look.

Even he wouldn't want to face ferocious beasts in the far north, but watching wouldn't hurt. As a Limit Douluo, he was confident that he could escape unscathed in any situation.

………………

"Should we kill him?" Huo Yuhao suggested.

"? This old man hasn't done anything yet, can't you just kill him?" Tianmeng was stunned, feeling that Yuhao was getting more and more ruthless.

"This old man must be Long Xiaoyao, that guy from the Holy Spirit Cult." Huo Yuhao had already remembered who the man was.

Having previously reviewed Wu Yun's memories, Huo Yuhao had some recollection of the Dragon Emperor Douluo's time in the Holy Spirit Cult, though the memories were incomplete, which is why he could only barely recognize him.

"This old man is a cult member of the Holy Spirit Cult. Although he doesn't possess an evil martial spirit, he aids and abets evil, so calling him a cult member or a criminal wouldn't be an exaggeration. He deserves to be killed. It will also eliminate a potential threat to the Snow Emperor." Huo Yuhao said nonchalantly, "It's just a bit troublesome. Limit Douluo is hard to kill. Hmm... at least cripple him first."

"Yuhao, do you have a plan?" Tianmeng asked.

"It's not really a plan. Elder Mu's train is almost here, so let the two old folks meet," Huo Yuhao said with a smile. "With Elder Mu's current strength, he should be able to easily subdue him."

After recovering, Moon often exchanged cultivation experiences with Electrox, gaining a deeper understanding of light magic and improving his mental strength.

"Defeating a renowned Limit Douluo in the Snow Kingdom would be a powerful demonstration of the Snow Kingdom's strength and would effectively deter the two surrounding empires." Huo Yuhao pondered the benefits that Long Xiaoyao could bring them.

"Now, let's give him a scare first." Huo Yuhao smiled as he looked at Bingdi and Xuedi.

"Ice Emperor, Snow Emperor, I'm leaving it to you." Huo Yuhao tossed his magic gun to the Snow Emperor.

"Give it to us? How do we do that?" Xue Di took the magic gun, somewhat at a loss.

As a contracted beast, Ice Emperor was in perfect harmony with Huo Yuhao and immediately understood his meaning.

She grasped Xue Di's hand and they held the magic gun together.

"Snow Woman, please lend me your power." Hyotei looked at Snow Woman and guided Snow Woman's ice attribute power to combine with hers, injecting it into the gun.

A massive ice magic circle unfolded at the muzzle of the gun, with intricate and dazzling snowflake runes at its center.

"Look at my progress, Yuki-onna!" Hyotei excitedly showed Yuki-onna her research results. "This is my ice magic."

"Brother will locate you." Tianmeng shared more information with them using her divine sense, accurately pinpointing Long Xiaoyao's current location.

"Let me lend you a hand as well." Electrox also poured some power into the gun, adding his powers of light, necromancy, and purification to the ice magic of the two Ice Emperors.

Ice and snow, hardness and softness.

The two supreme ice powers merged and erupted.

Gunfire.

A flash of cold light appeared,

The Dragon Emperor Douluo, who was stealthily approaching with his aura concealed, had his left arm pierced by extreme ice, yet not a drop of blood flowed out. The chill penetrated his body, freezing his entire left arm.

If it weren't for his Limit Douluo cultivation level, he would probably have been turned into an ice sculpture in an instant.

"Let's go. If we get any closer, the next blow won't be to my arm." The Snow Emperor's majestic voice rang out from the wind and snow.

Long Xiaoyao remained silent, his figure dissipating as he left the place.

For a Limit Douluo, this injury isn't too serious; continuing to fight to the death on someone else's home turf would be unwise.

Chapter 90 Arrival

"What bad luck."

As Long Xiaoyao flew away from the far north, he circulated his soul power to dispel the cold within his body.

"Alas, is this the beginning of my retribution? Alas, retribution, oh retribution..."

Dragon Emperor Douluo shook his head and sighed. He had no anger or thoughts of revenge. Apart from the fact that it would take some time to dispel the cold, the injury to his left arm was not serious. It was not worth it to clash with the overlord of the far north again over this.

He just thought about what he was doing and felt that he deserved it all.

"Huh? Someone's cultivating over there?" Long Xiaoyao looked up and saw that someone was actually cultivating on the snow-capped mountain on the far north edge.

Its soul power is surging and looks quite strong; it should have the strength of a Super Douluo.

In a flash, Long Xiaoyao arrived at the snow-capped mountain.

There was nothing else on the snow-capped mountain, and Long Xiaoyao spotted the person sitting cross-legged and cultivating at a glance.

"Zhang Peng, the Scorpion Tiger? It's actually him?"

Long Xiaoyao never expected that he would find the person he was looking for so unexpectedly.

"Who is it?" Zhang Peng opened his eyes, interrupting his cultivation.

"Zhang Peng, do you recognize me?" Long Xiaoyao slowly landed in front of Zhang Peng. By this time, he had cleared the frost off his arms and resumed his unfathomable image as the Dragon Emperor Douluo.

"Dragon Emperor Douluo!"

Zhang Peng called out his name, feigning surprise.

"Not bad, it seems you know." Long Xiaoyao stroked his beard and nodded, saving himself the trouble of explaining.

"Could it be that you've also come to persuade me to join the Holy Spirit Cult?" Zhang Peng asked, maintaining a respectful tone.

“Actually, whether you join or not is none of my business. If you don’t want to, you don’t have to go,” Long Xiaoyao said, shaking his head. “I just heard that you are now holding a high position in this Snow Country. I wonder if you could take me on a tour?”

"I am not talented enough to serve as a retainer in the Snow Kingdom. If I were to switch to another power at will, I fear I would be ridiculed by the world. Please forgive me for not being able to accept your invitation."

However, if Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor wishes to visit my Snow Kingdom, you are naturally most welcome. The Snow Kingdom welcomes all friendly guests. Let me lead the way for Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor.” Zhang Peng smiled and gestured for him to proceed.

"It's great that you're willing to lead the way," Long Xiaoyao said with satisfaction, then changed the subject, "By the way, that dark cloud... did you kill it?"

“This…” Zhang Peng looked troubled.

"Haha, it's alright, it's alright, no need to answer. Whether it's true or not, I won't blame you." Long Xiaoyao shook his head with a smile and walked forward. "Take me to see it."

"Yes, please." Zhang Peng responded and led him into the snow country.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief; Mr. Huodou's request had been fulfilled, and it had gone quite smoothly.

However, Mr. Huodou is truly a genius. How did he know that he would encounter the Dragon Emperor Douluo here?

………………

Just recently,

Huo Yuhao, who had just ambushed Long Xiaoyao, had already returned to the Snow Country.

"Mr. Scorpion Tiger, I have a favor to ask of you," Huo Yuhao said directly.

"Mr. Huodou, please speak frankly."

"Go cultivate on that snowy mountain in that direction and reveal your aura. Long Xiaoyao should come looking for you. If possible, invite him in for a visit. If he attacks directly, run away and leave the rest to me," Huo Yuhao said. Tianmeng's probes were constantly monitoring that area, and if anything happened, they would immediately go up and give him a righteous beating.

………………

"Looks like it worked." Huo Yuhao nodded, just as the train was about to arrive at the station.

He activated the teleportation array and returned to the train.

"Yuhao, where did you go?" Mu En had sensed Huo Yuhao's presence disappear earlier, but now he's back.

"We've made it to our destination, haha, Elder Mu, you might run into an old friend this time," Huo Yuhao laughed.

"An old friend?" Moon wondered. Which of his old friends would be in the Snow Country?

Huo Yuhao had heard Elder Mu mention his relationship with Long Xiaoyao.

I also heard from Elder Xuan, this storyteller, about their "love triangle full of unity, battles, friendship, sadness, and betrayal," the authenticity of which is questionable.

However, Elder Mu was unaware that Long Xiaoyao was currently working for the Holy Spirit Cult.

Huo Yuhao felt that it would be better for him to meet Long Xiaoyao directly rather than talk to him about this.

The train had already passed several stations in the Heavenly Soul Empire. Thanks to the cooperation Mu En had previously secured, they traveled without any obstacles, and at each station, they saw many people gathered to watch.

The train is a novelty for everyone here.

………………

Is this the Snow Country?

After passing through the defensive ice array, Long Xiaoyao's eyes lit up. "What a wonderful snowy paradise..."

"To be honest, Your Majesty, I was just as shocked when I first arrived here." Zhang Peng led Long Xiaoyao around like a tour guide.

“These children…” Long Xiaoyao noticed several children who had the characteristics of evil soul masters.

“They, as you can see, are children with evil martial spirits, and also patients of our Snow Kingdom.” Zhang Peng picked up a child who ran towards him and lifted him high onto his shoulders.

The child seemed very happy and not afraid of Zhang Peng at all.

Zhang Peng laughed heartily: "Aren't they adorable? Thanks to Mr. Huodou, his surgery cured me and these children. However, some are still too young to have the surgery. They'll be fine once they grow a bit older."

"This...this is it! It must be Doctor Huodou, right? Zhang Peng, take me to see the doctor. I'd like to ask about the exorcism surgery." Long Xiaoyao was slightly excited when he saw this.

Since... since even a super Douluo like Zhang Peng, a demonic soul master, could be cured, then a Limit Douluo should be able to as well. If that's the case, Xi Shui... Long Xiaoyao thought to himself.

“Uh…the doctor isn’t here right now,” Zhang Peng said.

"When will he return? I'm willing to wait as long as it takes," Long Xiaoyao asked anxiously.

"It won't be long, please be patient, Your Majesty." Zhang Peng had no choice but to try his best to persuade him and continue showing him around.

Zhang Peng broke out in a cold sweat; entertaining a Limit Douluo was truly exhausting.
