"You found him??" Bingdi stared at him wide-eyed. "That was too dangerous, Yuhao! The Spirit Pagoda is now the second largest organization on the continent. You went in alone like that. At least take us with you!"
"Sorry, Bingdi, but my intuition tells me this needs to be resolved quickly." Huo Yuhao made a surrender gesture. "I'll continue. In fact, our worries from ten thousand years ago are still unresolved. Theoretically, the eighty-first floor is the limit for climbing the tower, and the floor of the eighty-second floor is made of a special forged metal, which even hinders my mental power to some extent. However, my mental detection told me there were unusual soul power fluctuations nearby, so I simply sent a powerful mental clone upstairs to check the situation. Then,"
"We discovered that the soul power fluctuations originated from an evil soul master," he said with a wry smile.
A burst of furious azure ice flames erupted from the Ice Empress's body. Huo Yuhao quickly made a gesture to her to keep a low profile, and the chilling aura gradually subsided. As the agent of emotional divine power, he could feel that the Ice Empress's anger was not diminishing, but rather intensifying as her wide golden eyes lit up.
"Outrageous..." To avoid being discovered by the children below, Bingdi had already restrained herself. "Those guys who made the continent a mess ten thousand years ago, how dare they still be alive? Wait," she asked, somewhat stunned, as if suddenly struck by something, "You just said... Evil Soul Masters not only still exist, but are in the upper echelons of the Spirit Pagoda??"
"right."
"Douluo Continent is doomed." Ice Emperor couldn't imagine how these two completely unrelated terms, one being the second largest organization on the continent and the other being villains who had disappeared ten thousand years ago, could be put together.
"I can't even imagine it," Huo Yuhao said, his eyes lowered. As the founder of the Spirit Pagoda, he felt a mixture of despair and amusement as he realized that the more he learned about this organization he had abandoned years ago, the further it strayed from his original aspirations. Originally, it was just internal family education; he could have uprooted the root of the Spirit Pagoda's problems and kept a close eye on it for decades, and it would have been fine. Now, the Qian Gu family had not only abducted his daughter but also allied with his sworn enemy. Although they hadn't said what they wanted, it was clear from their ignorance of a certain ancestor's continued existence that they weren't here to destroy him: the evil spirit masters, as always, desired widespread destruction, and the Qian Gu family, naturally, wanted to benefit from the destruction of their rivals.
Who are the competitors? It's so hard to guess, right, Tang Sect? But actually, that doesn't make any sense at all: Tang Sect deals with military and diplomacy, while the Spirit Pagoda deals with soul technology. Their niches don't even overlap, let alone overlap. When Huo Yuhao thought of this, he couldn't help but wonder if the Qian Gu family had a hereditary form of cerebral palsy.
"Anyway, let's get back to the main point. After realizing that the Spirit Pagoda was colluding with evil soul masters, I immediately decided to go find Di Tian. As for how I found him, it's very simple." He cleared his throat, "I did a large-scale, rough scan of the surrounding buildings and compared them with maps available on the market. The area with the biggest difference was probably the last habitat of the soul beasts."
"Your Spirit Eye Martial Soul is as effective as ever," Ice Emperor said, unusually calming down.
“Indeed, before soul tools were so widespread on the mainland, the ability of the Spirit Eye to explore was actually quite limited.” He smiled as he said this, which was probably one of the few pieces of good news. “But now soul tools are everywhere, which is why I recommended the Evil Emperor to become a hacker.”
"In the end, we finally met the ferocious beasts. But unexpectedly, Di Tian actually became so obedient to other people's orders."
Huo Yuhao chuckled, "That's why I said he's too feudal."
"Rather than obeying the Silver Dragon King's orders and enduring it again and again,"
"If we don't destroy the Spirit Pagoda soon, the evil soul masters will wipe out the entire Star Dou Great Forest. Before the Silver Dragon King even has time to collect their corpses, those people from the Spirit Pagoda will be eager to reclaim their so-called 'legacy,' and the soul beasts will spend their miserable lives being exploited."
"Furthermore, the whereabouts of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline are still unknown. If you ask me, even if I, who already possess the status of a god, were to intercept the most powerful weapon of the day—the legendary, strictly guarded Level 12 fixed-position soul-guided cannon—I might not survive."
“I don’t think it’s wise for a Silver Dragon King, who is only at the demigod level and has been
