Chapter 172 Departure from Sunset Forest
The day after the agreement was reached was the day Huo Yuhao's succession ceremony as the young sect leader of the Body Sect was held.
Without exception, all the key figures from the various academies, sects, and chambers of commerce of the Heavenly Soul Empire were present in person.
Even Xueyu, who has been stationed at the border for many years, specially entrusted the deputy commander to come to Tiandou City to deliver congratulatory gifts.
As for the common people, Xue Heng announced a tax reduction, using the simplest yet most effective means to celebrate together.
The scale of this succession ceremony may only be surpassed by the Crown Prince investiture ceremony of the Heavenly Soul Empire in the future.
In an instant, the entire Tiandou City was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and the streets were bustling with people, creating a lively and exciting atmosphere.
However, the only thing that people regret is that only two of the three Heavenly Soul Limits actually came.
For some unknown reason, Gu Tian, who was known as the Eternal Night Heaven, was absent from Huo Yuhao's succession ceremony.
Huo Yuhao and Xue Di were fully aware of the reason for Di Tian's absence.
Demon Emperor.
Long Xiaoyao has not yet sent a message to the Demon Emperor, so the Demon Emperor is currently still residing in the Lake of Life.
Previously, Di Tian and Bi Ji left under the pretext of scouting overseas, but now that more than a month has passed, they should return at least.
However, Di Tian also specially asked Gu Mingxi to deliver a gift as his congratulatory present.
This is a scale that is entirely black.
"This is Di Tian's Achilles' heel."
Gu Mingxi said, "It has two main functions. First, it allows Di Tian to sense whether you are in any danger."
"You are the future of both soul beasts and humans; Di Tian must ensure your safety."
"As long as you encounter danger, the power of the Emperor can descend upon you through this Reverse Scale."
"And the second function of this reverse scale is that Di Tian can control it to isolate you from the attention of the divine realm."
Since Huo Yuhao is going to take action against Shrek Academy, he will likely face off against the Seven Gods in the future.
As a soul beast that fell from the God Realm, Di Tian knew a little about the methods of the God Realm.
The Silver Dragon King Scale that Huo Yuhao is currently wearing is just an ordinary scale from the Silver Dragon King.
It has the effect of shielding the eyes of the gods to a certain extent, but the Silver Dragon King is still seriously injured and cannot operate it at all times.
Therefore, considering various factors, Di Tian gave his Achilles' heel to Huo Yuhao.
He can actively activate the isolation effect of his Reverse Scale, which, combined with the Silver Dragon King's Scale, provides Huo Yuhao with an extra layer of insurance.
Gu Mingxi gave Electrolux a meaningful look: "Your identity as the successor of the Ice God can't be hidden."
"After the appearance of the High Priest of the Ice God, even without you saying it, everyone recognizes you as the successor of the god."
"They also need a reason to accept your extraordinary behavior."
"The Three Limits and the High Priest of the Ice God cannot protect you every moment."
"Once you arrive in Mingdu, this reverse scale might save your life at a crucial moment."
Gu Mingxi's words made Huo Yuhao realize something was wrong.
Perhaps Gu Mingxi herself did not realize that her words implied that the successor of the gods should not have her level of combat power.
This shows that Di Tian understands the gap between the successor of the divine position and Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao carefully put away Di Tian's Reverse Scale, but in his heart he was thinking about what about him that Di Tian should pay attention to.
After much thought, he could only come up with one answer: the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique.
"Perhaps it's because of the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique that Di Tian mistook me for a human undergoing dragon transformation, and he believed that I would become a dragon."
"Aside from Di Tian and Zi Ji, there are no other true dragons on Douluo Star."
"My appearance allowed Di Tian to witness the birth of yet another dragon, one that could become the Ice Dragon God."
"The dragon race's combat power surpasses that of all soul beasts, which explains why Di Tian did not question my combat power."
Huo Yuhao secretly made his own guess.
He then asked, "How's it going with the Demon Emperor?"
Gu Mingxi said directly, "Everything is as usual, and they don't even know what's going on at Shrek Academy."
"However, Lan Fuzi gets along quite well with Xiong Jun and the others."
"Especially that Silver Elite Beast King, Lan Fuzi now walks it around the Lake of Life a hundred times every day."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao began to ponder.
Shrek City now has no members from any other factions besides the die-hards of Shrek Academy and some people from the Douling Empire.
Having the Demon Emperor disguise himself as the High Priest of the Sea God and infiltrate the group is actually not very meaningful.
Her greatest significance to the Holy Spirit Cult now is to test Tang San and to serve as a strategic deterrent to restrain the three limits of the Heavenly Soul.
The Holy Spirit Cult could easily take control of Shrek Academy through Long Xiaoyao and Qian Duoduo.
Once Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult are truly connected, the Holy Spirit Cult will value the Demon Emperor's death far more than his life.
The cooperation between the Demon Emperor and the Holy Spirit Cult was driven by their own ulterior motives, and they were both wary of each other.
Now that Poseidon Island has been eliminated, the Holy Spirit Cult, which wants to completely devour the sea, will certainly not allow the Demon Emperor to live any longer.
"Has the Demon Emperor truly been hunted down by Seagod Island for the past ten thousand years?" Huo Yuhao asked.
Gu Mingxi said, "This news is indeed true."
"For this reason, even though she joined the Holy Spirit Cult, she never had the opportunity to help train its members."
"Therefore, the Demon Emperor can be utilized or cooperated with."
"But if you want to cooperate, your existence must be exposed to the Demon Emperor, but we don't know the Demon Emperor's attitude."
Huo Yuhao pondered.
If that's the case, then we could consider having the Demon Emperor and the Deep Sea Soul Beast clan protect those two continents from being discovered by the Holy Spirit Cult.
The Demon Emperor's goal is to take revenge on Tang San.
In some ways, this aligns with Huo Yuhao's goals.
As long as it is confirmed that the Demon Emperor has not caused too many innocent deaths in the past ten thousand years, Huo Yuhao would not mind cooperating with her.
The destruction of Poseidon Island aside, if Huo Yuhao were to take over, he might be even more ruthless than the Demon Emperor.
"I know about the Demon Emperor."
Huo Yuhao said, "If the Demon Emperor leaves the Lake of Life, please be sure to tell me immediately."
Gu Mingxi nodded: "I know that without you telling me."
"Anyway, Dad and Mom have already gone back, so no matter how many times I skip class, it won't be discovered."
Gu Mingxi said the last thing because Xue Xin happened to be passing by Huo Yuhao at that moment.
Upon hearing Gu Mingxi's words, Xuexin was immediately speechless.
As the succession ceremony came to an end, Huo Yuhao took off his heavy formal attire and put on a black, fitted outfit.
"The old man is really starting to care more and more about his reputation these days."
"It's more comfortable wearing this."
Afterwards, Huo Yuhao casually found a plausible excuse and left Tiandou City with Xue Di and Ilex.
Their target was none other than the Sunset Forest, not far from Heaven Dou City.
