Douluo: Peerless Sky Eye Yuhao

Chapter 373: Strengthening our opponents

The sun was shining in the sky, insects were chirping in the vast forest area, and a few black carps were swimming in the stream.

Two figures quietly came to a meadow next to the stream.

"Have you found anything over there?" The person who spoke was Mr. Xuan, who had successfully quit drinking but was addicted to fruit juice.

In front of him was an old woman in a green robe, it was Old Song.

Old Song looked at the sparkling stream and shook his head, saying, "I explored all the places where the Xingluo Empire troops might hide along their route back home, but I didn't find any traces of the Sun-Moon Empire troops deploying their forces."

"I even explored some of the more obscure routes, but still found nothing."

Elder Xuan put down the gourd and said in a deep voice: "I agree with you. It seems that Yuhao's guess is wrong. The Sun Moon Empire did not deploy heavy troops to wait for the participating teams to return home."

Elder Song glanced at him and said calmly, "That's hard to say. It's impossible for those sects of the Xingluo Empire to disappear for no reason. If it wasn't done by the Sun-Moon Empire's army, then the target can only be them."

Xuan Zi's eyes narrowed slightly: "Holy Spirit Church."

"That's right." Elder Song nodded, "And I found something interesting. The team that successfully returned to the Xing Luo Empire was composed of the strongest soul masters in the team, who were only low-level soul douluos, or even weaker soul saints."

"Although those sects that disappeared did not have Titled Douluo in charge, the number of Soul Douluo inside them far exceeded that of the former. The difference in strength between the two sides was several times. The weak ones went back, and the strong ones stayed. Who would believe that there was no trick?"

Elder Xuan let out a dull breath: "If they are really caught by the Holy Spirit Church, there is a high probability that this group of people will be in great danger."

"Even if it was the Holy Spirit Church's hand, even if the Xingluo Empire wanted to negotiate, the Sun-Moon Empire could ignore it. After all, even if the Holy Spirit Church was cooperating with the Sun-Moon Empire, no one knew the specific details. As long as they kept refuting, they would be invincible. Forget it, let's go back to Mingdu first. Yuhao is smart, maybe he can think of something."

Xuan Zi stood up and patted his pants. The soul power in his body surged, and the whole person disappeared, flying straight into the sky.

Mr. Song didn't say anything and followed silently.

……

Inside the cafe of Mingyue Hotel.

Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan sent away a messenger from the Body Sect.

Just now, news came from Xu Tianming. He didn't know the reason why the Xingluo Empire team disappeared mysteriously, but he had his own guess and thought it was the work of the Holy Spirit Church.

Of course, the most important news is that Mingdu has not made any move to mobilize the Soul Guide Corps recently, so Huo Yuhao understood one thing. Unlike the original time and space, Xu Tianran in this life really has no intention of taking action against the three major empires of the original Douluo Continent together.

People from the Xingluo Empire were missing, so Huo Yuhao asked Vina about it. Vina said that all the teams that were eliminated from the Tianhun Empire and returned home had returned safely, and no one was missing.

What does this mean?
This inexplicable disappearance case was directed against the Xing Luo Empire.

"Mingming Luo Empire is the strongest of the three empires in the original Douluo Continent. Why don't they pick on the weak ones, but instead pick on someone who is a little more difficult to deal with."

"Could it be that because the Tianhun Empire is protected by the Body Sect, and the Sun-Moon Empire is afraid of being harmed, that's why they chose the Xingluo Empire?" Zhang Lexuan pinched her chin, thinking thoughtfully.

Huo Yuhao stretched out his fingers to stroke Zhang Lexuan's smooth hair, occasionally touching the skin of her cheek, and said with a smile: "The Heavenly Soul Empire has the Body Sect, the Star Luo Empire also has the Worship Hall, and Bingfeng Douluo is also a level 98 Super Douluo, and his deterrent power is no less than that of Senior Du Bu Si. Perhaps the Sun Moon Empire has other considerations."

"Stop touching me." Zhang Lexuan was talking about something, but when Huo Yuhao touched her, she nudged Huo Yuhao's chest with her elbow in annoyance.

Taking action is one thing, but seeing the blush on Zhang Lexuan's pretty face that she was trying to hide, Huo Yuhao said calmly, "Now we just have to wait for Elder Xuan and Elder Song to come back. Then, combined with the information we already know, the summary will be very clear."

"You're right." Zhang Lexuan agreed.

When they returned to the villa area, Ma Xiaotao came towards them as soon as they entered.

Zhang Lexuan felt a little guilty and looked evasive, but Ma Xiaotao said seriously, "Big Sister, we have the information about the Tianlongmen personnel."

Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan instantly returned to her serious work state: "Let everyone gather in the living room, and we will discuss the candidates for tomorrow's battle."

"Yeah." Ma Xiaotao didn't even look at Huo Yuhao and just left.

Zhang Lexuan breathed a sigh of relief. On the other hand, Huo Yuhao silently gave Sister Xiaotao a thumbs up. Her acting skills were really great.

The team members filed into the living room.

Zhang Lexuan looked at the list of players in front of her for a long time, and finally nodded, "The strength of Tianlongmen is indeed not to be underestimated. It is definitely the strongest opponent we will face since the preliminaries."

"The strongest? How strong can it be?" Wang Qiuer asked.

"Okay, take a look for yourselves." Ma Xiaotao took out a pile of personnel lists and distributed them to everyone.

"All the main forces are Soul Emperors!"

After just one look, Xiaoxiao let out a sound of surprise.

As a result, the expressions of other people also changed to varying degrees.

The main force of all Soul Emperors did not appear even once in the preliminaries.

"Well, Senior Sister is right. This is indeed the strongest opponent we have encountered so far." Xu Sanshi still spoke casually, but his tone was a little more serious than usual.

“Yulongxiao.” Huo Yuhao glanced at this extremely unfamiliar name and the photo hanging next to it, and suddenly in his mind emerged a beautiful woman whom he saw when he passed by the Tianlongmen team a few days ago.

Yu Tianlong, as the young master of Tianlong Sect, was actually very respectful to this woman.

I think this person should be the strongest person in Tianlongmen.

"Although we don't know the specific levels of these people, there are two of them who need our attention, namely Yu Tianlong and Yu Longxiao." After seeing Yu Longxiao's photo, Ning Tian's beautiful eyes moved slightly and she took the initiative to speak.

"Xiaotian, do you know this Yu Longxiao?" Ma Xiaotao asked.

"Yes." Ning Tian nodded, facing everyone's gaze, and said, "Yu Longxiao is the youngest daughter of the current Tianlongmen Sect Master. She should be almost 23 years old this year. She is stronger than Yu Tianlong. I estimate that her cultivation level is probably around level 68. Her martial soul is a mutant martial soul called Ice Flame Dragon."

"The Ice Flame Dragon's ice attribute is a powerful existence second only to the Ultimate Ice Attribute. In addition, the dragon-type martial spirit characteristics that mutated from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex make it even stronger than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex."

A ripple appeared in Xue Di's calm eyes.

Wang Qiuer just chuckled.

冰？
dragon?
“He’s only 23 years old and he’s already reached level 68. As long as he doesn’t die, he will surely become a Super Douluo in the future. Together with Yu Tianlong, it’s possible that there will be two Super Douluos in charge of Tianlongmen in the future. They can be said to have finally reaped the rewards of their hard work.” Beibei said with emotion.

He and Mu Lao are from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, but unlike the descendants of the Tianlongmen lineage, his ancestor is Yu Xiaogang.

"There is something I need to explain to everyone." Just as everyone was discussing the personnel of Tianlongmen, Huo Yuhao interrupted directly.

Instantly, everyone looked at him. Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice: "Tianlongmen will be the weakest opponent we will meet in the final round."

Swish.

When these words were spoken, the whole audience was stunned.

Wang Dong'er suddenly thought of something and said, "Will the Sun-Moon Empire play tricks on the draw ceremony and assign the strong team to us?"

Wang Donger's words immediately made everyone realize what Huo Yuhao meant, and their expressions suddenly turned cold.

Tianlongmen is already the weakest, so there is no need to guess who the next opponent will be, because it is all obvious.

"The Sun-Moon Empire is trying to increase its strength on us." Ma Xiaotao snorted coldly and punched the table. If she hadn't restrained her strength, the table would have shattered on the spot.

The atmosphere in the living room became much more solemn.

“No.” Huo Yuhao retorted. Looking at the eyes of the crowd, he smiled and said, “The Sun-Moon Empire’s secret operation is not to increase our strength, but to increase the strength of our opponents.”

Give our opponents strength.

As these extremely confident words spread around their ears, everyone at Shrek breathed a little faster, and gradually, a surge of excitement exploded in their hearts.

……

Walking through the heavily guarded palace complex, Sea Soul Douluo calmly followed the guide towards the study of the East Palace.

"Please come in." The guard leading the way stopped in front of a building with grand decoration.

Sea Soul Douluo walked straight into the building with the door open, and the first thing he saw was Xu Tianran sitting in a wheelchair.

There was no one else in the house.

Seeing Xu Tianran, Sea Soul Douluo's eyes became slightly more restrained, and he said with a faint smile: "After receiving the invitation from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I thought someone had sent it to the wrong place, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"Please take a seat." Xu Tianran smiled and motioned for Sea Soul Douluo to take a seat. After the latter took a seat, he smiled and said, "Senior, your time is precious, so I won't talk about other useless things. To be honest, this invitation is mainly for one thing, that is, I hope to establish a friendly cooperative relationship with your Sea God Family."

Sea Soul Douluo paused, as if she had not expected Xu Tianran to mention this. Her eyes moved slightly: "I remember that two of my colleagues came to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but the result seemed not ideal."

She was referring to the fact that Sea Shark Douluo and Sea Girl Douluo had come to the East Palace, hoping that Xu Tianran would agree to arrange the first match of the Sea God Family to Shrek Academy.

Xu Tianran showed a helpless expression on his face: "From the beginning to the end, I have always hoped to cooperate with the Sea God Family. Similarly, I also respect the Sea God Tang San who once left a great legacy on the Douluo Continent. It's just that there are some things that I can't decide on my own."

"Senior, you have been in Mingdu for a long time, so you must know that I am under a lot of pressure."

Sea Soul Douluo obviously knew something and nodded silently. At the same time, after hearing Xu Tianran's respect for the God of the Sea, his eyes softened a lot.

Xu Tianran sensed the change in Sea Soul Douluo's eyes. He said solemnly, "But no matter what, I rejected our cooperation before. To express my feelings, I specially prepared a gift for you."

"Gift?" Sea Soul Douluo whispered.

Xu Tianran said: "I don't know what hatred or grudges your Sea God Family has with Shrek Academy, but as friends, I should help you. Therefore, in the next finals of the Fighting Spirit Competition, I will gradually arrange strong teams for Shrek Academy, including the Holy Spirit Church and the Haotian Sect."

Hearing this, Sea Soul Douluo frowned immediately, and she said in a deep voice: "This gift is indeed very thoughtful, but Your Highness, please take it back. As for Shrek Academy, our Sea God Family prefers to deal with it ourselves."

Xu Tianran said calmly, "I understand what you mean and how you feel, but may I ask, Senior, do you think it is better to wait for the enemy to tire themselves out and thus perfectly solve the problem of Shrek Academy's students, or do you think it is better to solve the problem of Shrek Academy at the risk of your own team members getting injured or even dying? "

These words pierced his heart. Sea Soul Douluo paused, his eyes fixed on Xu Tianran.

The look from Super Douluo was extremely strong, but Xu Tianran still maintained his elegant smile.

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, as if he didn't expect that Xu Tianran would not be affected by his gaze. Sea Soul Douluo said in a deep voice: "Of course the former is better. But if Shrek Academy loses before meeting us, such a result is not acceptable to us. To be honest, we don't care about the Soul Fighting Competition, whether it is the last place or the champion. What we care about is to deal with the younger generation of Shrek Academy with our own hands."

"That's exactly what I was thinking, so I sent you this great gift." Xu Tianran said in a serious tone, "So far, Shrek Academy has been playing with restraint. Their players who have already played don't need to be taken seriously. On the contrary, I believe that even if the Haotian Sect and the Holy Spirit Sect go all out, they will not be their opponents."

"So, under my control, the opponents in the final will only be you and Shrek Academy. I will never make a mistake in my calculations on this point."

"I can tell you very clearly that if we establish a cooperative relationship, when my father dies and I ascend to the throne, I will immediately publicize the great achievements of the Sea God in the empire and erect statues of the Sea God in major cities across the empire."

Sea Soul Douluo's pupils shrank. She had lived for more than a hundred years, but after hearing Xu Tianran's last words, she couldn't help but feel her heart beating violently.

The opponent is using his ultimate move.

This was something she simply couldn't refuse.

The belief in the God of the Sea originally existed on the mainland and was even widely spread. However, it was said that for some special reason, the God of the Sea took the initiative to abandon the belief on land. Eventually, as time passed, it was confined to the sea and no longer spread on the land of Douluo Continent.

But just think about it and you will understand that Lord Poseidon will definitely not be willing to let his faith retreat from the sea. There are secrets involved. In addition, the plan in the Far North has failed. If it succeeds in the Sun-Moon Empire, Lord Poseidon will definitely be satisfied. If he rewards him with something, it will be a big deal.

In comparison, the gift from the Fighting Spirit Competition is nothing.

"Your Highness, this matter cannot be treated as a joke." Sea Soul Douluo suppressed his inner expectations.

"What this prince says, he will definitely do. It depends on whether you, senior and other high-ranking people in the Sea God family, are willing to do it." Xu Tianran's eyes were smiling. He knew that his words touched the other party's heart.

As long as they could win over the Sea God Family and rely on the hatred between them and Shrek Academy, in the future war with the Star Luo Empire, even if the strong men of Shrek Academy intervened and the Holy Spirit Church was unwilling to fight them head-on, they would have a backup plan.

"Let me ask the clan leader about this matter." Sea Soul Douluo said.

"Okay, senior, please let me know after you have asked." Xu Tianran nodded.

"Goodbye." Sea Soul Douluo clasped his fists, stood up and left the study.

Xu Tianran looked at the closed door and said in a comfortable tone, "My father won't be alive for many days. Once he dies, I will be able to inherit the throne smoothly."

"Your Highness, Xu Tianming and the Body Sect are secretly colluding. Do you want to resolve it in advance? Otherwise it will definitely be a danger." A hoarse voice came from the side.

"No." Xu Tianran shook his head. "As long as my father can't speak or write, there will be no imperial edicts left. My position is secure. The emperor dies and the prince ascends the throne. This is the way of heaven and no one can stop it."

"What I want is Xu Tianming's urgency. When he is in such a mood, he will often reveal his true colors. If he panics and acts recklessly, I will have a suitable reason to deal with him. In this way, the noble forces behind him will also collapse and they will find a new place to rule."

"Go, tell the people of the Holy Spirit Church to kill all the captured Xingluo Empire teams that have any connection with the Xingluo Royal Family, and keep their heads in boxes. After the Fighting Spirit Competition is over, send them back to the corresponding sects in the name of the Holy Spirit Church. As for the other sect personnel who have no connection with the Xingluo Royal Family, they can do whatever they want."

In the study, the sound disappeared, leaving only the flickering light.
