Chapter 247 Ye Guyi
"I……"
Ye Guyi lowered her head and did not answer Shangguan Weier's invitation.
Shangguan Wei'er knew she couldn't push too hard, so she said, "It's alright, little sister, you can think about it some more."
"However, in Mingdu, the power of evil soul masters should not be underestimated. Those two Soul Emperors just now were only evil soul masters who had barely escaped their low-level status. Only the background of the royal family can provide you with protection."
Upon hearing this, Ye Guyi frowned deeply.
If even the Soul Emperor is just at the bottom, then the real high-level evil soul masters must be Soul Douluo or even Title Douluo.
For a moment, Ye Guyi was also somewhat tempted.
Seeking protection from a powerful force might be a good solution, as dealing with evil spirit masters alone is indeed not very safe.
"If you were truly from the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire, you might be able to offer them protection, but with the power of the Ordinary Alliance, it's simply not enough."
Just as Ye Guyi was about to make a move, a male voice suddenly rang out.
"Who's there!"
Shangguan Weier shouted angrily, her whole body on alert, staring intently in the direction from which the voice came.
This area has clearly been isolated by her soul tool; there shouldn't be any other people here.
"Greetings, Alliance Leader Shangguan."
Huo Yuhao revealed himself, nodded slightly to Shangguan Wei'er in greeting, and then continued to Ye Guyi, saying, "Only those who need to leverage power will keep talking about the forces behind them. It's true that the Ordinary Alliance has the royal family's backing, but the Ordinary Alliance is nothing more than the royal family's black glove, the kind that can be discarded at any time. How can you expect the royal family to step in and protect you?"
Shangguan Wei'er frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
Faced with this mysterious man who suddenly undermined her, Shangguan Wei'er didn't dare to take the initiative and could only try to probe him with words first.
Ignoring Shangguan Wei'er's voice, Huo Yuhao continued, "The Ordinary Alliance alone cannot protect you from the evil soul masters. The day you are exposed, you will be surrounded and killed by several titled Douluo-level evil soul masters."
"Several evil soul masters at the Title Douluo level?"
Shangguan Wei'er exclaimed in surprise.
As far as she knew, even within the Xi Shui Alliance, there were very few evil soul masters at the title Douluo level; most were only at the Soul Emperor or Soul Saint level, with only a few high-ranking members at the Soul Douluo level.
But judging from the man's serious expression, it didn't seem like he was joking.
Are you kidding me?!
If there were really so many Title Douluo among the evil soul masters, how could they possibly need to hide like rats in the sewers?
Moreover, judging from the clashes with the Xishui Alliance over the years, there haven't been this many powerful evil soul masters.
"In short, the evil soul masters are more complex than you think. It would be the most foolish thing to expose your divine attributes to evil soul masters without the cultivation level of a titled Douluo. And the Ordinary Alliance's idea of using you to deal with evil soul masters is simply courting death."
"Your Mightiness!"
Shangguan Wei'er couldn't take it anymore. She had finally managed to persuade the person with divine attributes, but this man suddenly ruined everything and belittled her to nothing. Who could stand such an insult?
"According to our Ordinary Alliance's intelligence, the Evening Water Alliance only has one Title Douluo-level Evil Soul Master. You claim that the Evil Soul Master has several Title Douluos; please provide evidence, otherwise, may I consider you to be talking nonsense?"
"Heh." Seeing that Ye Guyi was still watching the show without answering, Huo Yuhao also slowly revealed some information:
"Ye Xishui, a level 99 Limit Douluo, with the martial soul Blood Soul Demon Puppet, and a level 9 Soul Master."
"So, Alliance Leader Shangguan, do I need to say anything more?"
Shangguan Wei'er's pupils dilated in shock.
Ye Xishui, Xishui Alliance.
Could it be that……
How is this possible?! An evil soul master who has become a Limit Douluo?! How could this be?!
Even Ye Guyi, who had remained calm throughout, couldn't help but be moved at this moment.
If she were to notice a Soul Master at the Limit Douluo level, even with divine attributes and having broken through to the Title Douluo level, I might not be her match.
"So, what's your purpose in contacting me?"
This was the first time Ye Guyi had spoken to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao frankly said, "Naturally, I'm eyeing your divine attribute's future. I want to clean up the evil soul masters and completely eliminate their scourge. Therefore, your power can indeed play a significant role. Relying on myself alone would put a lot of pressure on me."
"You? A demon-exorcising master?"
Ye Guyi raised an eyebrow. "Then why didn't you make a move just now?"
Huo Yuhao touched his nose, turned his head away, and said somewhat awkwardly, "I was thinking of making a move at a crucial moment, but I didn't expect Alliance Leader Shangguan to beat me to it, so I didn't do anything like stealing kills."
"Um?"
Noticing through mental detection that the manager of the Nine Treasures Restaurant seemed to be about to return, Huo Yuhao casually tossed Ye Guyi a token and said in a forced voice, "Take my advice: do not easily expose your divine attributes before becoming a Title Douluo. Also, the Sun Moon Empire has long been riddled with holes by evil soul masters. Even within the royal family, there are no shortage of evil soul master tentacles. Do not trust the so-called royal family too much."
"If you've thought it through, you can activate this token, and I'll come find you."
"Alliance Leader Shangguan, here's a piece of advice: don't have too much contact with evil spirit masters. Their power is far greater than you imagine. Also, I don't want a fourth person to know what happened today."
After saying that, Huo Yuhao turned around and left. He arrived in front of the barrier, summoned the Life Guardian Blade, held it in his hand, and gently slid it across the barrier, easily breaking through it and heading towards the Nine Treasures Restaurant.
Ye Guyi glanced at the bewildered Shangguan Weier, then at the token in her hand, and chased after the direction where Huo Yuhao had disappeared.
"Hey, you there?! Wait for me!"
Although we don't know the man's true identity, the information he provided is clearly much more valuable than that of Shangguan Weier herself.
Ye Guyi felt that rather than following the so-called Ordinary Alliance, it would be better to test this man further.
"You... just left like that?"
Shangguan Wei'er stood there bewildered in the wind, but ultimately did not continue the chase.
Evening Water Alliance... Ye Xishui...
The information released by the other party was too shocking. Although it was uncertain whether it was true or false, Shangguan Wei'er felt that the attitude of the Ordinary Alliance towards the Xishui Alliance should also be changed. If too many conflicts were to arise, it would not be a good thing for the Ordinary Alliance if it caused the other party to lose their temper.
not to mention……
Slowly retracting the barrier set up on the outside, Shangguan Wei'er gave a bitter smile.
Even she had to exert all her strength to barely break through the level eight barrier soul tool, yet it was utterly vulnerable in the hands of the opponent.
If we rush in again, it will be troublesome if we offend the other party.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
Ye Guyi caught up with Huo Yuhao, who was hurrying along, panting heavily.
Sure enough, here it comes.
Huo Yuhao calmly turned around: "Have you thought it through?"
"not yet……"
Ye Guyi said somewhat awkwardly, "However, I think you are more reliable than that Alliance Leader Shangguan on the ground."
"Oh, why do you think that?"
Huo Yuhao tilted his head, signaling Ye Guyi to follow.
"Isn't it that Ye Xishui you mentioned?"
Ye Guyi muttered, "A level 99 evil soul master? That's outrageous. Yet you can say this information with such certainty, which is both outrageous and somewhat reasonable."
In Ye Guyi's opinion, even if Huo Yuhao wanted to deceive her, he wouldn't say something so outrageous. After all, there are only a handful of level 99 experts on the entire continent. Even if Huo Yuhao said there was a Super Douluo among the evil soul masters, the first impression would be much more credible.
Furthermore, the fact that Huo Yuhao dared to add the title of "Level 9 Soul Master" makes this information even more outrageous and credible, for the same reason.
In comparison, Shangguan Wei'er's information about the higher-ups of the evil soul masters was rather vague; she only gave the general outline. It was clear that she was no match for Huo Yuhao in terms of intelligence.
"Speaking of which, where did you get this information about Ye Xishui?"
"you guess?"
Huo Yuhao chose to ignore Ye Guyi's blatant probing.
Ye Guyi crossed her arms and said, "Hmph, fine, I won't talk then."
Upon arriving near the Jiubao Restaurant, Huo Yuhao quickly stepped onto the third-floor window and climbed into his private room.
what?
Ye Guyi, standing to the side, was dumbfounded. Who was this person?
After hesitating for a second, Ye Guyi gritted her teeth and followed Huo Yuhao's movements to climb inside. After giving Huo Yuhao a strange look, she found a seat at the table and sat down.
The next second, the door to the private room slowly opened, and the innkeeper pushed a food cart and stepped into the room.
"Sir, your order is ready."
Upon seeing the woman who had suddenly appeared, the shopkeeper's eyes flashed with surprise, but he knew the rules of his trade, so he pretended not to see her, placed the plate in front of Huo Yuhao, and slowly retreated.
After the shopkeeper left, Ye Guyi said resentfully, "I suddenly regret coming along."
Prior to this, Huo Yuhao casually revealed information about a Limit Douluo among the evil soul masters, leading Ye Guyi to believe that Huo Yuhao was a super strong person.
When Huo Yuhao climbed the wall and jumped through the window, Ye Guyi's perception of him as a strongman was completely shattered.
What kind of powerful person climbs walls and leaps through windows like a Soul Master? That's so uncool. Even a Soul Saint should be able to fly.
Huo Yuhao naturally knew what Ye Guyi was talking about, but Huo Yuhao said that he had never revealed his information, and it was all Ye Guyi's own imagination.
Casually taking out an intelligence report from the storage ring next to his plate and glancing at it, Huo Yuhao couldn't resist teasing Ye Guyi: "You did the same thing before, and you still have the nerve to criticize me?"
"you……!"
Ye Guyi didn't know what to say in response.
After all, he had previously ambushed evil spirit masters by climbing through windows...
After confronting Ye Guyi, Huo Yuhao turned his attention to the intelligence he had gathered.
The first thing you see is information about the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire, but there aren't many points worth paying attention to.
It was nothing more than the emperor falling seriously ill again, and Xu Tianran consolidating his power, such as by increasing his contact with the head of Mingde Hall.
The established fact that the emperor was seriously ill and Xu Tianran held power was of little value to Huo Yuhao.
However, Huo Yuhao noticed something interesting about the other royal bloodlines.
Apart from Princess Xu Tianzhen, most of the princes of the royal bloodline are dead. It is no doubt that Xu Tianran used the evil soul master to deal with them quietly.
Even the Third Prince, who had some connection with Huo Yuhao a few months ago, was assassinated not long ago. Now, apart from Xu Tianran, the only prince still alive is a prince named Xu Tianming.
Xu Tianming is the emperor's youngest son, and he has just turned fourteen. His young age and ordinary abilities allowed him to survive Xu Tianran's attacks.
Or rather, Xu Tianran basically didn't target his powerless and insignificant younger brother.
However, Xu Tianming is not important; what is important is Xu Tianming's concubine, who is the legitimate daughter of a duke in the north.
According to the logistics statistics of the Nine Treasures Chamber of Commerce, this duke secretly stockpiled a large amount of rare metal materials.
"Could it be that this duke is the force that will rebel in the future?"
Huo Yuhao clicked his tongue lightly.
Looks like another avalanche prince.
Huo Yuhao didn't think that a prince without any ambition would choose to marry the legitimate daughter of a duke.
However, Xu Tianming clearly did not fully understand Xu Tianran's methods. The day Xu Tianran noticed these little tricks would be the day Xu Tianming fell.
"What duke? A rebel?"
Ye Guyi curiously leaned closer, wanting to see what explosive information Huo Yuhao was looking at.
Huo Yuhao casually tossed the intelligence report to Ye Guyi: "It's nothing, just a desperate struggle by a prince who is unwilling to accept his fate."
"What made you think this duke was going to rebel?"
Looking at the fragmented intelligence network, Ye Guyi was momentarily stunned.
This intelligence report contains logistics statistics from the ducal mansions of the Sun Moon Empire. The only anomaly is that the amount of supplies purchased by one of the ducal mansions has increased significantly during this period.
How is it considered rebellion if a duke simply collected some supplies?
"Tsk, as expected, all you can rely on is force."
Huo Yuhao didn't bother to explain; instead, he picked up another collection of important intelligence about the Douluo Continent.
"Hmm? Those guys from the Body Sect have taken over the Mingde Hall's database?"
This look was quite alarming.
"What the hell? It's one thing for the Body Sect to infiltrate the Mingde Hall, but how did they even steal the database? Do those brutes have that kind of intelligence?"
To be honest, Huo Yuhao didn't quite understand why the Body Sect would invade Mingde Hall. Although the "sealed Snow Emperor" was no longer the bait, as long as Xingluo wanted to give the Sun Moon Empire something to do, invading Mingde Hall, an easy target, was a good choice.
Huo Yuhao hadn't figured out what else was in Mingde Hall that made the Body Sect go to such lengths.
Now it seems that these are the essence of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Guidance System, accumulated over nearly a thousand years.
The person who did this is truly a genius. Even Huo Yuhao couldn't figure out how to transport the data that could fill several shipping containers at first, before he remembered that there was such a thing as a storage ring.
Having only been in this world for a few years, Huo Yuhao hadn't fully adapted to its strange way of operating.
and many more……
Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered something.
Huo Yuhao had spent a lot of time copying blueprints to complete his assignments recently, but the blueprints that Huo Yuhao could access were not actually that advanced. After all, the most advanced ones, like humanoid soul tools, were basically kept in independent laboratories, and Huo Yuhao rarely had the opportunity to scan them.
In other words... the drawings that I carefully copied are basically useless?
Hey!
