Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao, the villain from a parallel world

It's estimated that news from there won't be available until tomorrow morning.

"Do you know why I told you to leave?" Huo Yuhao turned around and asked the two people behind him.

Ye Guyi remained silent for a moment, as if recalling what had just happened.

Although she was experienced in combat, Huo Yuhao had been in charge of the entire operation from beginning to end, and she could only vaguely sense that things were not going quite right.

Ye Guyi tentatively replied, "Is it because there's an ambush there?"

Although Nana didn't say anything, her slight nod clearly indicated that she shared the same thought.

Neither of them were fools, so the only explanation for Huo Yuhao's sudden cancellation of the operation and emergency evacuation was that there was danger ahead.

Chapter 113 The Blurred Road

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and said calmly, "That's right, there were two Soul Saints, one Soul Emperor, three Soul Kings, and more than ten Soul Venerables lying in ambush there."

Upon hearing this, Ye Guyi and Nana's expressions changed drastically at the same time.

Soul Saints, and there are two of them.

With the addition of the Soul Emperor, Soul King, and more than a dozen Soul Venerables, such a lineup would be far superior to even ten more people, let alone the two of them.

They were so confident just now, ready to close the net, but little did they know, they were just going to their deaths.

Seeing the two still in shock, Huo Yuhao added, "Besides that, there was also a Title Douluo lying in ambush there."

"A Title Douluo?" Nana's pupils constricted sharply, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Ye Guyi's reaction was not much better than hers; her beautiful face, which was full of yin energy, instantly lost all color.

Each of them is a top-tier combatant on the Douluo Continent; killing the two of them would be easier than crushing two ants.

“That Title Douluo’s target should be me,” Huo Yuhao said, turning his gaze away from the two faces.

"Otherwise, you could have so openly destroyed the strongholds of three evil spirit masters without them noticing."

"The reason they haven't arrested you is probably because they want to find me, the mastermind behind this scheme."

Ye Guyi and Nana both agreed that what he said made a lot of sense, and nodded hurriedly.

"I caused quite a commotion there tonight, so their desire to capture us will definitely be even stronger. Therefore, for the next period of time, you two should not go out rashly," Huo Yuhao instructed the two.

"I understand, Master. Bone Robe and I will definitely stay put," Nana said obediently.

Ye Guyi nodded as well; both she and Nana felt a lingering fear.

If Huo Yuhao hadn't returned in time tonight, they would be lying in the alley now, two cold corpses, and the luckiest way to die.

If captured alive by an evil spirit master, the fate would be worse than death.

Huo Yuhao didn't say anything more about this matter, and changed the subject, looking at Ye Guyi and asking, "Where do you usually stay now?"

Ye Guyi was slightly taken aback by this unexpected question.

Since Huo Yuhao placed the restriction on her, she has been traveling around Mingdu seeking medical treatment. After spending all her savings, she can no longer afford a decent place to live.

She rented a cheap little house near the academy to stay in, so that she could meet with Nana and Huo Yuhao.

She snapped out of her daze and quickly replied, "I rented a house outside the college, just two streets away."

After listening, Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then asked directly, "Do you want to join the academy?"

Ye Guyi was stunned again, this time for even longer than before.

Joining the academy? She knew exactly what Huo Yuhao meant, but she still asked uncertainly, "Joining the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy?"

“That’s right.” Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement.

"Although there are members of the Holy Spirit Cult lurking in the academy, they dare not openly harm the students."

“Your Holy Angel Martial Soul is too conspicuous. Once exposed, it will inevitably attract the covetous eyes of evil soul masters. After joining the academy, you will be safer by staying by my side,” Huo Yuhao explained.

Ye Guyi's cheeks flushed slightly after hearing Huo Yuhao's words.

She looked up at Huo Yuhao's profile, which appeared even more handsome in the moonlight, yet remained perpetually cold and expressionless.

Surprisingly, a hint of protectiveness could be detected beneath that indifferent expression.

She lowered her head, her voice softer than usual, yet unusually decisive: "Okay, then I'll join."

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly. With his current status at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, this was not a difficult task.

Kong Deming's last disciple and a core student of Mingde Hall, recommending someone to join the academy is not difficult at all.

Moreover, Ye Guyi's talent fully meets the academy's admission standards, and there is no suspicion of her getting in through connections.

"I'll arrange it for you and let you know tomorrow. Go home tonight and don't go out during this time unless I give the order."

After he finished speaking, he lightly touched the ground with his toes, and his figure turned into a black afterimage, disappearing into the night, leaving only two girls standing side by side.

Nana breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around and grabbed Ye Guyi's hand, her eyes behind the mask filled with heartfelt joy: "That's great, Sister Guyi, then we'll be classmates from now on!"

Ye Guyi smiled slightly and nodded gently.

She looked up in the direction where Huo Yuhao had disappeared. A gentle breeze blew by, and the leaves trembled, just like her restless heart.

..........................................

After returning to his dormitory, Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged on his bed, but did not immediately enter a meditative state.

His hands were casually resting on his knees as he gazed at the night outside the window, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Tonight's events have forced him to reassess the current situation.

A titled Douluo personally led an expedition, accompanied by two Soul Saints, a Soul Emperor, and more than a dozen skilled fighters, yet they were outmaneuvered before they could even catch a glimpse of him.

The Holy Spirit Church will never let this humiliation go unpunished.

They will inevitably send even stronger forces to track him down, and may even directly alarm the true high-ranking members of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Although his strength has greatly increased, he has not yet recovered to the point where he can directly confront the entire Holy Spirit Cult.

Avoiding their sharp edge and lying low for now is the wisest choice.

However, what truly occupied his thoughts was not the threat posed by the Holy Spirit Cult.

He had been pondering a more important question: given a second chance at life, should he repeat the same growth trajectory as in his previous life?

He rapidly enhances his spiritual power by devouring the souls of evil spirit masters, seizes one opportunity after another based on his past life memories, and ultimately recreates the Chaotic Godhood, regaining his position as God King.

He knew this path inside and out; he knew exactly how to take each step and how to overcome each bottleneck.

Moreover, in this life he has gained the Snow Empress as his second martial soul. After creating the Chaotic Godhood, he is fully capable of taking away the vacant Ice Godhood as well.

After achieving the coexistence of two gods, his strength will definitely surpass that of his previous self.

But is that really enough?

Huo Yuhao slowly closed his eyes, and the final scene of his battle with Tang San in his previous life appeared in his mind.

Tang San possesses the dual divine positions of the Sea God and the Asura God, both of which are ancient gods with a history spanning countless millennia, boasting an extremely sophisticated system of divine skills and rich combat experience.

The Trident of Poseidon and the Sword of Asura are two genuine divine artifacts.

In that battle, Tang San did not use his full strength, but he was still no match for him.

In the end, the only option was to burn one's divine position, sacrificing one's soul to barely inflict serious injury on Tang San.

If he repeats the same path as before in this life, even with the addition of the Ice God title, he still cannot match Tang San in terms of accumulated divine skills and the foundation of divine artifacts.

"So, which path should I take?" Huo Yuhao thought to himself.

In fact, he already had a vague idea of ​​the answer to this question.

Tonight I simply brought it up again, making it clearer in my mind.

However, he needs more time to think things through and verify before he can fully figure out which path to take.

Chapter 114 Zhongli Wu's Ambition

As night deepened, Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged on the bed, cultivating while contemplating his path.

Meanwhile, in the underground black market of the Blue Hotel.

The aftermath of the western suburbs incident has already become apparent, with the first to be affected being Nangong Wan, who spearheaded the operation.

At this moment, Nangong Wan, the leader of the Xishui Alliance, knelt on the ground with his forehead pressed tightly against the ground, showing no trace of the leader's authority.

Nangong Wan, kneeling on the ground, trembled slightly, as if she were afraid of something.

Not long after, another person entered the room and stood in front of him with his hands behind his back.

The man looked to be around thirty years old, with a straight nose, square mouth, sword-like eyebrows that reached his temples, and a pair of deep-set, bright eyes.

His skin was as white as jade, which contrasted sharply with the pure black robe he wore, and his short, silver-white hair stood up like steel needles.

Judging by his appearance alone, most people would mistake him for a powerful Soul Master noble or a member of the royal family.

No one could have imagined that this person was Zhongli Wu, the leader of the evil soul master organization entrenched in the Sun Moon Empire.

Zhongli Wu looked down at Nangong Wan, who was kneeling at his feet, his eyes filled with nothing but cold killing intent, devoid of any other emotion.

Clearly, he was very dissatisfied with what Nangong Wan had done in the western suburbs.

At the same time, he was also very puzzled. Who exactly was this person? Even Nangong Wan, a titled Douluo, couldn't handle them.

However, he did not speak, but simply stared at the Nangong Bowl on the ground.

The entire secret room was so quiet that only the sound of the candlelight could be heard, and Nangong Wan's body trembled even more in the silence.

"Master," Nangong Wan finally couldn't withstand the invisible pressure and spoke in a hoarse voice, "It's all because of my incompetence that last night's operation failed so miserably. Please punish me, Master!"

“Punishment?” Zhongli Wu said coldly.

"Tell me first, what exactly happened last night? Why was there such a commotion in the western suburbs?"

Nangong Wan dared not hide anything and quickly recounted the events of the previous night in detail.

After listening, Zhongli Wu remained silent for a long time.

Then he laughed, but the laughter sounded rather eerie no matter how you looked at it.

"A dozen or so followers were being manipulated like puppets."
