Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

“Ah, not far, not far. Just follow the official road south for twenty *li* in this direction,” the Third Boss quickly pointed out the direction.

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Huo Yuhao didn't bother to entangle himself with this person any further. He casually tossed him onto the ground and said to Xue Di, who was beside him, “Alright, I’ll leave him to you.” After saying that, he stepped into the air and left.

“Lord, spare me! Lord, spare me!” The Third Boss’s body went limp when he heard Huo Yuhao's words. Xue Di's gaze swept over him, making him feel cold all over, and his heart skipped a beat. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, begging for forgiveness.

Xue Di didn't even bother to look at him. She also took to the air and followed Huo Yuhao. The Third Boss, however, had been frozen in ice at some unknown time.

“This, aerial hovering… they are… Soul Saints.”

The bandits were scared silly. The leather-clad woman was drenched in cold sweat, feeling as if she had just walked through the gates of hell.

“He humiliated you like that, and you still spared his life?” Huo Yuhao looked at Xue Di, who had followed him, feeling somewhat curious. Was this woman's temper really that good?

Xue Di glanced at him and said indifferently, “Is the way you look at me very pure? If that's the case, shouldn’t I kill you too?”

“Uh!”

Huo Yuhao was immediately choked, feeling extremely embarrassed. He scratched his head and said embarrassedly, “Well, this, a graceful lady is a gentleman's desire.”

Xue Di snorted coldly and didn't say anything more.

Before long, the two arrived at Dragon City. The Earth Dragon Gate was extremely famous in Dragon City. Huo Yuhao casually asked someone and found out the address of the Earth Dragon Gate.

Currently, there were two major forces in Dragon City: the Sky Dragon Gate in the south of the city and the Earth Dragon Gate in the north. Unlike the Earth Dragon Gate, the martial souls of the disciples in the Sky Dragon Gate were all dragons. The strength of the Sky Dragon Gate was also stronger, and the gate master was a Titled Douluo.

As the saying goes, a mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. The two major sects competed with each other, both wanting to annex the other, but in recent years, the Earth Dragon Gate had always been suppressed by the Sky Dragon Gate.

Without further ado, the two soon arrived in the north of the city.

A vermilion gate, with the three large characters “Earth Dragon Gate” inscribed on the plaque above the gate. That's right, this was the place.

At the entrance of the Earth Dragon Gate, seeing two young men with extraordinary temperament stopping in front of their sect, a burly gatekeeper immediately stepped forward and asked politely, “May I ask who the two of you are looking for?”

“Huo Yuhao of the Body Sect seeks an audience with your gate master. Please inform him.” Huo Yuhao knew that the leader of a sect couldn't be met casually, so to avoid trouble, he directly announced the name of the Body Sect.

The effect was remarkable. The gatekeeper's face suddenly changed when he heard that they were from the Body Sect. Then, his attitude became even more respectful. “Esteemed guests, please wait a moment. I will report to the gate master immediately.”

A few minutes later, the Earth Dragon Gate's master personally came out to welcome them, inviting the two into the reception hall.

After they were seated, Huo Yuhao took the initiative to open the conversation: “Gate Master Nan, I apologize for disturbing you with this visit. I hope you can forgive me.”

“What are you saying? It is our Earth Dragon Gate's honor to have you, young master. May I ask how should I address this young lady?”

Nan Shuishui looked at Xue Di. From the moment they entered the gate, she had noticed Xue Di, but she hadn't sensed any soul power fluctuations from Xue Di. Nan Shuishui subconsciously thought that she was Huo Yuhao's maidservant. However, after seeing Xue Di sitting with Huo Yuhao, she knew that she had misunderstood.

“Xue'er is my friend, and she also possesses the Ultimate Ice,” Huo Yuhao didn't say Xue Di's name, so as not to scare Nan Shuishui.

Xue Di glanced at him, thinking to herself that Xue'er was not something he could call. However, since there were outsiders present, she didn't say anything.

After listening to Huo Yuhao's introduction, Nan Shuishui carefully sized up Xue Di again, secretly thinking that she had been blind. She still couldn't see anything. Nan Shuishui couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, but on the surface, her smile didn't diminish. “Miss Xue'er is both talented and beautiful. Young master is very fortunate.”

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, not explaining anything. Xue Di looked somewhat unnaturally at Huo Yuhao beside her, but saw that the latter was leaning back in his chair, as steady as an old dog.

Nan Shuishui pondered for a moment and then said, “I already know the purpose of your visit, young master. I have discussed it with the elders in the sect before, and everyone has no objections. That area has already been cleared out. If you need it, you can take it at any time.”

As an ice and snow spirit, Xue Di was naturally no slower than Huo Yuhao. This soul beast overlord had always been calm, but today she seemed a little abnormal. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and her pretty face flushed red with excitement.

Noticing her abnormality, Huo Yuhao grabbed her jade hand and gently squeezed it, signaling her to be calm.

“This is the place. This is a cold spring. The cold spring contains rich spiritual energy. Drinking it regularly can nourish the bodies of us soul masters.

However, only the gate masters of the Earth Dragon Gate know that under this cold spring, there is also a cave, but we have isolated it with mechanisms. There is a mineral vein in that cave, all of which are rare ice-attribute metals.

Therefore, the temperature in the cave is too cold to stay for long, even for Titled Douluos. It is precisely because of this reason that we have not mined those rare metals.”

“Young master, now it's yours, but I still have to remind you that the extremely cold environment inside requires you to be careful.”

“Thank you, Gate Master Nan. Then we'll go down and take a look first.” Huo Yuhao once again expressed his gratitude to Nan Shuishui before leaping into the well. In fact, he was already a little impatient. Xue Di also followed closely behind.

“Okay, Mom, since the person has been brought here, let's go,” Nan Qiuqiu said.

Nan Shuishui shook her head slightly, “You go back, I'll stay here for a while, just in case. Nothing must happen to the people of the Body Sect in our place.”

“Alright.” Nan Qiuqiu pouted, feeling a little uncomfortable, feeling like she and her mother had become the bodyguards of others.

Turning the story to two sides, Huo Yuhao and Xue Di dived into the cold spring and swam downwards. At the same time, the two released their mental power to search for the entrance to the cave.

The cold spring was only thirty meters deep. With their powerful mental power, they quickly found the entrance to the cave near the bottom of the spring. As soon as their mental power entered, they realized that the space inside was not small.

Too lazy to crack any mechanisms, Huo Yuhao grabbed Xue Di's hand and activated the power of space. The next moment, the two teleported to the inside of the cave.

The scene changed, and the two arrived at a dark cave. Huo Yuhao ignited a ball of soul power in his hand, dispelling the darkness around him. The two could now see the scene inside the cave clearly. The ground and the cave walls were made of hard, thick ice.

What attracted the two the most were the ice pillars in the cave. There were more than forty of them in total, crisscrossing, of varying sizes, some rooted between the cave walls, and some hanging upside down from the cave ceiling. Each one was as white as jade, like huge stalactites.
