As they closed the distance, Huo Yuhao and the others continued to increase their flight altitude, flying over one majestic snow-capped mountain after another.
It wasn't until they reached a vast snowfield at an altitude of over 6,000 meters that they gradually slowed down and descended.
After all, the place they were going to was a heavily guarded military stronghold. Even though Chen Xinjie had given prior notice, they couldn't just swagger in and land directly inside the Blood God Legion from the air.
As far as the eye can see, there is a scene of white snow. Not far away, there is a low-rise barracks that blends almost into the surrounding snowscape thanks to the characteristics of the building materials.
If it weren't for Zang Xin leading the way, even with careful observation, it would be difficult to distinguish the military camp from the snow-covered ground amidst the swirling snow.
Huo Yuhao and the others had only taken a few steps toward the military camp when they saw a burly middle-aged man in thick military uniform jogging towards them through the wind and snow.
Upon approaching, the middle-aged man pounded his chest with his right hand and gave Zang Xin a standard military salute, saying, "By order of the Legion Commander, Major General Long Tianwu of the Blood God Legion has come to report for duty. The Legion Commander has been waiting for you inside for quite some time. Please follow me."
Zang Xin nodded slightly and solemnly returned a federally accepted military salute.
Subsequently, under the personal guidance of Major General Long Tianwu, the group did not enter through the main gate of the military camp, but instead entered the Blood God Legion silently through an extremely secret passage on the periphery.
After turning left and right in the passage for a long time and passing through several metal doors, the group finally arrived at the legion commander's office after making sure that no one else could see them along the way.
Long Tianwu strode forward and knocked rhythmically on the door a few times. Soon, a strong voice came from inside.
"Please come in."
The office door was pushed open with a click.
As the office of the highest commander of the Blood God Legion, its interior decoration, apart from being more spacious, is no different from the military camp outside, and is extremely simple and plain.
Behind the desk sat a tall man, exuding the aura of a long-time leader.
On the shoulder insignia of his military uniform, three golden general stars shone brightly.
Upon seeing the visitor, Zhang Huanyun put down the documents she was still reading.
He first nodded to Long Tianwu, then said in a steady voice, "Tianwu, you should go and take care of your own affairs now."
.
The message from Chen Xinjie was extremely urgent, involving matters of life and death for the Douluo Continent, such as the Abyss Plane and the Holy Spirit Cult.
Only by sending Long Tianwu, the deputy legion commander and an absolutely reliable individual, to personally pick up the person could Zhang Huanyun be completely at ease that the news would not leak out halfway, thus preventing unnecessary unrest in the army.
"Yes, Commander."
Long Tianwu didn't ask any further questions. He straightened up, returned a standard military salute, then turned and left, closing the office door behind him.
Seeing this, Zhang Huanyun quickly came out from behind his desk and greeted everyone, "Please have a seat, everyone. However, the conditions in the Endless Mountains are harsh, far from the prosperity and comfort of Mingdu. We can only offer you some simple tea, and we hope you will understand."
Being personally served tea by the nominal supreme leader of the Blood God Legion is something outsiders would never even dare to dream of.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Zhang Huanyun didn't stand on ceremony any further and quickly got to the point: "Old Chen has already explained the Holy Spirit Cult's plan to attack the Blood God Legion in an attempt to open the Abyss Passage very clearly in the communications."
I will secretly dispatch my most trusted confidants to form an elite force to cooperate with His Majesty Zang Xin and everyone else to intercept them.
""
Although the news that the Holy Spirit Cult was about to use god-killing fixed-position soul-guided cannons against the Blood God Legion was terrifying, since they already knew about it in advance, and with the Affectionate Douluo Zang Xin going to stop it, there shouldn't be any unexpected incidents.
In contrast, Zhang Huanyun was more concerned about another matter mentioned in Chen Xinjie's message.
His gaze fell on the white-haired boy who remained calm and composed to the side.
Sensing the change in the other party's emotions, Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and said, "Commander Zhang, please feel free to say whatever you have to say."
Everyone here knows my real identity, so feel free to ask me any questions you have. There's no need for any extra concerns.
"Your Excellency Lingbing, then I will speak frankly."
Zhang Huanyun took a deep breath and asked, "Old Chen said in the message that you possess a weapon capable of truly annihilating abyssal creatures. Is that true or false?"
At this moment, Zhang Huanyun's resolute face was filled with hope.
More than 6,000 years ago, during the first invasion of the Abyss Plane, countless Douluo predecessors sacrificed themselves to barely seal the Abyss Passage.
However, the Blood God Legion later discovered in despair during their continuous battles against the Abyss Plane that the Abyss creatures could not be completely eradicated.
After they are defeated by Soul Masters, the abyssal energy they transform into will return to the abyssal plane. After a period of gestation, it will once again condense into abyssal creatures to challenge the seal.
This pointless war of attrition has left generations of soldiers stationed here feeling deeply suffocated.
To this day, the Federal Research Institute, which has been trying to overcome this problem, has still not been able to develop a weapon effective against abyssal creatures.
Now that he has suddenly received news that the legendary figure Lingbing Douluo from ten thousand years ago can completely kill the creatures of the abyss, one can imagine how excited Zhang Huanyun is.
Perhaps even more excited than Zhang Huanyun was Ling Zichen, who had just heard the news.
As the Federation's chief researcher, she has always had the mission of developing biological weapons to eliminate the abyss.
It would have been fine if Huo Yuhao hadn't said anything earlier, since she was just an outsider.
As a result, Chen Xinjie was actually wary of her when assigning tasks!
Is he afraid that if she finds out, she will kneel down in public and beg to see his precious treasure?
Huo Yuhao sensed Ling Zichen's emotional change and even noticed that her gaze was constantly scrutinizing him.
Fearing she might do something indecent in front of Yuanen Yehui, Huo Yuhao quickly explained, "This isn't a mass-producible soul tool, but rather the power of a divine artifact that I possess. Only those with special bloodlines can use it."
Upon hearing that it was a divine artifact rather than a research result of a soul tool that could be mass-produced, both Zhang Huanyun and Ling Zichen's bright eyes dimmed noticeably.
Compared to soul tools that can be mass-produced, divine artifacts are still too exclusive and unique. This is far from the specialized weapons that Zhang Huanyun hoped for, weapons that could arm every soldier in the Blood God Legion.
Regardless of the circumstances, this can be considered the only breakthrough that humanity has made in dealing with abyssal creatures over the past six thousand years.
Zhang Huanyun quickly adjusted his mindset, laughed heartily, and said, "Since that's how it is, then I understand. But having a divine artifact that can directly annihilate those scum is better than us wandering around here like headless flies."
"Since Your Excellency Lingbing wishes to explore the Abyss Passage, I will make arrangements immediately. As for the matters concerning the Holy Spirit Cult, I don't think it will take too long to prepare."
Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Chief Zhang."
"Lingbing, all the necessary equipment for entering the abyss passage has been prepared in advance. I will explain the precautions to you step by step along the way."
A woman with long brown hair was leading the way for Huo Yuhao.
The woman was only in her early twenties. Although she was beautiful and charming, it was probably because she had grown up in the grim military camp of the Blood God Legion.
Her every move exuded a cold and austere aura brought about by strict discipline, completely lacking the delicate demeanor of other girls her age.
-
This capable young woman was none other than Long Yuxue, the biological daughter of Long Tianwu, the former deputy legion commander.
Having just finished giving those instructions, Long Yuxue couldn't help but turn her head slightly and look at the white-haired boy who was following closely behind her.
Although she had just met the legion commander in his office and learned from him about the special mission she would be fully responsible for completing,
But whenever her gaze fell upon Huo Yuhao's excessively young face, Long Yuxue couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
If it weren't for Zhang Huanyun's direct assignment, Long Yuxue would have mistaken the young man following behind her for a spoiled brat from one of Mingdu's top families who had come to the Blood God Legion to gain military merit and prestige.
After all, this little brother, who looks so cute, already possesses the strength of a Title Douluo.
This outrageous thing was completely beyond Long Yuxue's imagination.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble Colonel Long to take care of things from here on out."
Huo Yuhao naturally noticed Long Yuxue's scrutinizing gaze, but he only responded softly.
Now, they have officially decided to split into two groups.
Zang Xin and the others remained at the legion's base, waiting for Zhang Huanyun to secretly select suitable and absolutely loyal elite personnel.
Once the personnel are assembled, they will launch a swift and decisive attack, capturing all the evil soul masters that the Holy Spirit Cult has deployed in the Endless Mountains, preparing to detonate god-killing fixed-position soul-guided cannons.
Huo Yuhao's own task was to personally venture deep into the abyss passage to substantially test the connection between the Golden Dragon Spear and the Ancient Tree of Life.
It was the most appropriate choice to have Long Yuxue, an officer who belonged to the Blood God Legion's Special Operations Department and frequently led squads into and out of the Abyss Passage for various investigation missions, take him there.
After a brief conversation, the two stopped arguing and didn't waste any more time.
Long Yuxue led Huo Yuhao directly through another hidden backup passage inside the legion, silently arriving at the rear of the Blood God Legion camp.
As soon as you step out of the protected area of the camp's constant temperature system, you are greeted by a biting cold wind mixed with ice shards.
The ground outside was covered with thick snow, more than half a meter deep.
Long Yuxue skillfully took out a pair of specially made military skis from her storage soul tool and subconsciously asked, "Lingbing, from here, it's still a long way to the entrance to the abyss passage. Do you need skis to get around?"
With such thick snow and the constant howling of snow in the surrounding area, ordinary flying soul tools would be completely unable to function properly in such an extremely harsh environment.
Most Soul Masters cannot fly for extended periods of time until their Soul Power cultivation reaches the Title Douluo level.
In this situation, skis naturally became the most common means of transportation for the Blood God Legion soldiers when they went out to perform patrol or combat missions.
As soon as Long Yuxue uttered the question, a blush crept onto her face.
The main reason is that Huo Yuhao's deceptively youthful appearance is too deeply ingrained in people's minds, and Long Yuxue subconsciously cannot connect him with a Title Douluo powerhouse.
Feeling the chill mixed with the wind and snow around him, Huo Yuhao looked up at the sky, which was completely covered by dark clouds, and replied calmly, "No need for that. Just point out the exact location of the abyss passage to me, and I'll take you there directly. That will save a lot of time."
Upon hearing this, Long Yuxue was slightly taken aback, but as an outstanding soldier, she did not show any coyness.
Long Yuxue readily retracted her skis and then generously extended her right hand to Huo Yuhao.
At the same time, she stretched out her other hand and pointed out the location of the abyss passage.
Huo Yuhao reached out and gently grasped the hand that Long Yuxue offered. With a flash of dazzling silver light, the two disappeared from the spot.
When it reappeared, it was in front of a huge cave with a diameter of three thousand meters.
Long Yuxue blinked subconsciously, her expression showing a hint of undisguised astonishment.
From the Blood God Legion's camp to the entrance of this abyss passage, there is a straight-line distance of more than ten kilometers.
Even her father, who possessed the cultivation of a Title Douluo and a three-word battle armor, could not traverse such a long distance in the blink of an eye.
Thinking of this, Long Yuxue exhaled a breath of hot air.
This young man's strength is terrifyingly powerful.
After arriving at their destination, Huo Yuhao released Long Yuxue's hand, but his brows furrowed slightly.
After Long Yuxue pointed out the exact location of the abyss passage, Huo Yuhao's mental power had already detected it first.
To Huo Yuhao's surprise, even with his current spiritual power cultivation that has broken through to the Divine Origin Realm, he can easily cover and perceive any movement within thousands of square kilometers.
But the abyss passage before him was like a black hole, as if it had completely swallowed up his mental probes, leaving no trace of feedback.
Long Yuxue seemed to notice the solemn expression on Huo Yuhao's face, so she quickly took out an item that looked like a metal headband from her storage soul tool and handed it to Huo Yuhao.
Then he spoke up to remind them: "The aura of laws that fills the Abyss Plane is completely different from that of our Douluo Continent."
Although the Abyss Passage is the intermediate zone between our Douluo Continent and the Abyss Plane, Soul Masters cannot use their Martial Soul power without the help of the Abyss Isolation Shield.
If you had used your soul skill to try and probe, you would have been strongly interfered with by the special aura inside.
