Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

“Then please, both of you, leave as soon as possible, or we'll have a hard time doing our jobs.” The general cupped his fist in a salute, and then actually left on the spot. He only needed to know that Huo Yuhao and his companion harbored no ill intentions.

The general's reaction left Huo Yuhao somewhat stunned. Were these people's hearts really that big? Were they really that trusting?

In truth, what he didn't know was that this was the intention of the Sun Moon Empire's higher-ups. These soldiers also regarded Huo Yuhao and his companion as people of the Sun Moon Empire.

The bat's screams grew fainter and fainter until they finally ceased completely. At the same time, the bat's body dissipated, turning into a cloud of gray mist that vanished into the world.

With a grab of his large hand, another abyssal creature was caught by Undying Poison, and then the previous actions were repeated. Before long, this abyssal creature also breathed its last. Undying Poison seemed very dissatisfied, and he repeatedly grabbed several more abyssal creatures.

… …

Bang!

The fan-like hand crushed an abyssal creature, and a clear look of disappointment appeared on Undying Poison's face.

“Master?” Huo Yuhao called out tentatively.

“Let’s leave first, we can talk on the way.” Casting a glance at the black hole from which abyssal creatures were still pouring out, Undying Poison led Huo Yuhao into the air and flew away.

Seeing the two leave, the general's brow relaxed. Earlier, seeing Undying Poison's relentless attitude, he was really worried that the old fellow would get stubborn and refuse to leave without figuring things out.

Shrek Academy, Inner Court, first floor of the Sea God Pavilion. In the center of the spacious hall, there was a long table, around which people were already seated. There was Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department, Cai Meier, the vice-dean, Xian Liner, the dean of the Soul Tool Department, Qian Duoduo, the vice-dean, and several elders, including Xuan Zi, the Gluttonous God Douluo, and Lin Huiqun, the person in charge of Shrek City's Treasure Pavilion.

The Sea God Pavilion was Shrek Academy's highest decision-making body. The Sea God Pavilion's meetings not only determined the academy's direction but could even influence the entire continent's situation.

Everyone present was a powerhouse at the Title Douluo level. Apart from the four deans, few people knew the identities of the others. They were the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, the top combat power of Shrek Academy, and the foundation upon which Shrek could look down upon the world.

At the head of the table, in the central position, sat Mu En, his figure hunched and his hair and beard all white. His identity was even more extraordinary: Dragon God Douluo, Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, and also the strongest person present, a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo.

Behind Mu En, a stunning woman stood respectfully. This woman was about twenty-five or six years old, with black hair that reached her waist. Her delicate face was flawless and white. Simply standing there, she naturally gave people a sense of tranquility and gentleness.

This woman was named Zhang Lexuan, the Sea God Pavilion Master's successor from the next generation. She was also the only person standing in the room, and the only soul master present whose cultivation was only at the Soul Douluo level. Of course, if people knew her age, they would definitely not underestimate her in the slightest.

“Lexuan, you can begin.” Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yan Shaozhe instructed Zhang Lexuan.

Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan turned and walked backward, stopping about five or six meters away from her original position. Then, she took out a sky-blue crystal stone the size of a fist from her hand.

Everyone recognized it at a glance. It was a Shadow Stone, a magical item that recorded images. It was said to be a natural gemstone, but people had never mined such a stone. Those that remained in the world today were all passed down from ancient times, and very few existed, making them no less precious than a thousand-year soul bone.

With a wave of her hand, a stream of soul power entered the Shadow Stone, and immediately the Shadow Stone bloomed with brilliant light. The light quickly gathered and transformed into a picture.

Those present were deeply moved. Facing such terrifying monsters, these soldiers did not choose to run away, but chose to fight to the death. From beginning to end, not a single person was seen retreating. It had to be said that this army was admirable, admirable from the bottom of their hearts.

Even if this was the army of the Sun Moon Empire. That’s right, everyone had already seen that this was the army of the Sun Moon Empire. The original Three Kingdoms of the Douluo Continent did not have that dark skin. Only the Sun Moon Empire possessed it, and people with dark skin were considered to be among the nobility in the Sun Moon Empire.

“Are these soul beasts? They don’t seem quite like it?” An elder asked, but listening to his tone, it was obvious that even he himself did not believe it.

No one answered him, everyone focused on watching the image. The picture changed, and there were more and more soldiers on the Sun Moon Empire's side, forming an encirclement of the monsters. Finally, those monsters were driven back into a huge black hole, and the picture ended there.

“Lexuan girl, don't hide it anymore, tell us old fellows, what exactly is going on, and what are those things?” An elder immediately asked when Zhang Lexuan put away the Shadow Stone.

At this time, Yan Shaozhe stood up from his seat and said: “Let me explain. The black hole in the image appeared in the Sun Moon Empire half a month ago. The specific location is a town near Ok City.”

“The reason for this black hole’s appearance is unknown, but its appearance has opened up a spatial passage to another world. And wherever those monsters from other worlds pass, whether it is humans, soul beasts, or plants, the vitality of all living things is devoured. Of the nearly 30,000 residents of the town where the incident occurred, no more than two hundred survived.”

Those present changed their expressions. Having lived to their age, they had all seen great storms. The deaths and injuries of 30,000 people were not enough to affect them. What they were worried about was the monsters’ characteristic of devouring vitality.

An elder raised a question, “However, these monsters don’t seem to be very strong. Judging from the situation, the Sun Moon Empire has already controlled the situation.”

Yan Shaozhe's expression became even more solemn, “Elder Lin is right. Although the Sun Moon Empire's military has no way to seal the black hole passage, they are already starting to build soul tool turrets.”

Xian Liner's eyes lit up when she heard this, “If that's the case, while the Sun Moon Empire is dealing with those monsters, can we…”

She didn't continue, but those present understood what she meant: to take advantage of this opportunity to make things difficult for the Sun Moon Empire, weaken their strength, and it would be even better if they could find a way to obtain some soul tool technology. As for what means to use, that was not important.

Several elders also had flickering eyes, considering the feasibility of this plan.

However, Yan Shaozhe's next words shattered their illusions, “If it were just that, it wouldn't be anything, but according to observations, the conclusion is that the black hole seems to have some kind of restriction, causing the creatures that pass through to not be too strong. Therefore, the strongest monsters that have appeared so far only have the strength of the Soul King level.”

“However, the black hole's restrictions seem to be gradually weakening, which means that more powerful monsters will appear in the future. We know nothing about the world on the other side of the black hole. We don't know if there are Title Douluo-level monsters in that world, how many there are, or if there are more than just monsters. We don't know any of this.”
