Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 173: On the Eve of Action
"Space Power!" Jing Hongchen was a little impatient.
He knew about space power. According to Kong Deming, one of the reasons Di Tian could become the first soul beast on the Douluo Continent was because Di Tian had a very deep understanding of space power.
You know, it is very difficult to comprehend space power.
With Di Tian's age and his talent in understanding space power, no one in the world can compare with the beast god Di Tian in this field.
After all, no matter how thoroughly a human soul master comprehends the power of space, in the end, a human soul master will die in a short lifespan. Even an Ultimate Douluo cannot compare with an ordinary soul beast in terms of a normal lifespan.
But soul beasts are different. If they are not killed, they can continue to survive as long as they survive the heavenly tribulation. Although surviving the heavenly tribulation is very difficult, there are soul beasts who have survived it multiple times.
Cultivation and age are not necessarily linked. Auspicious beasts are a typical example.
However, based on Di Tian's cultivation, Jing Hongchen felt that when Di Tian was cultivating, the first generation of emperors of the Sun Moon Empire had not yet been born.
Jing Hongchen also noticed what Huo Yuhao said about "a world."
What is the concept of a world? Could it be a place similar to the Douluo Continent? Is this something humans can do? Or is it the power of gods? Could it be that the so-called teacher Huo Yuhao mentioned is a god? No, gods haven't appeared for many years—how could it be related to gods? Could it be that the so-called demi-plane was also created by Huo Yuhao?
Jing Hongchen felt his heartbeat quicken a bit. He looked at Huo Yuhao and sighed: "Yuhao, I can understand your idea of hiding your talent. After all, your talent is too high, which is likely to arouse jealousy."
Even if I and Master Kong are willing to protect you, as long as you fully reveal your talent, you will face hostility and even covetousness from some people.
For example, Shrek Academy: once they know your talent, they will target you, send people to win you over, and even try their best to make you a student of Shrek Academy. After all, with Xuan Zi's previous experience, my impression of Shrek Academy has plummeted."
Huo Yuhao thought that it was not only Shrek Academy but also the Holy Spirit Church, which was always ready to welcome their Holy Son, and Tang San, who had already prepared a set of mature dog-training methods.
However, this thing was not made by him. It was originally made by Electrolux. He can't just deprive Electrolux of his right to authorship, can he?
But seeing Jing Hongchen's expression, Huo Yuhao also understood that the other party would not believe his explanation. So even if he explained, it would be in vain.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "Then I will show you the demi-plane now?"
"Okay." Jing Hongchen was also looking forward to it.
Huo Yuhao immediately recited the spell, and after a moment, a door exuding the breath of the undead slowly opened beside him. Seeing this scene, Huo Yuhao immediately took Jing Hongchen and Meng Hongchen inside.
As soon as Jing Hongchen stepped into the undead demi-plane, he observed the surroundings for a while and said in shock: "Why do these skeletons, bone dragons, and ghosts feel so evil?"
He stopped talking halfway.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao, standing nearby, immediately added: "It looks like the methods of an evil soul master, right? It's not. These things have nothing to do with evil soul masters. Dean, I'm not an evil soul master. I'm different from them."
Of course, he is not an evil soul master. Generally speaking, evil soul masters commit some extremely evil acts, such as using human flesh and blood as nourishment for cultivation. This is one of the reasons why evil soul masters are hated by everyone.
Jing Hongchen saw that Huo Yuhao's expression did not seem to be false, and a helpless look appeared on his face. He did not ask any more questions. He said: "Yuhao, you have your secrets. You can even create something like a demi-plane. It should be very simple for you to make these things. I believe you are not an evil soul master."
Meng Hongchen, standing nearby, also had a bright look in her eyes. She felt that this so-called demi-plane was extremely unusual. The atmosphere here was very oppressive, which made people feel a little uncomfortable. Additionally, there was a pile of skeletons and ghosts not far away, resembling the temporary residence of an evil soul master.
However, based on Huo Yuhao's explanation, her initial assumption was incorrect. After pondering for a moment, she decided to believe Huo Yuhao's words.
Huo Yuhao spoke at this moment: "Through this undead demi-plane, I can accomplish many things, such as leading the empire's soul engineer legion deep into the heart of the Star Luo Empire, thereby striking a blow to the Star Luo royal family, and then immediately withdrawing. Of course, this will be discussed later. Right now, we need to determine the candidate to attack the Duchess."
"Yes, that should be decided as soon as possible," Jing Hongchen agreed.
Then the two began discussing and finally decided that, in addition to taking Jing Hongchen, they also needed to take a soul engineer legion to the Star Luo Empire to prevent accidents. Of course, the so-called soul engineer legion would naturally be a beast king-level legion.
Duke's Mansion
A group of servants trembled as they watched the Duchess scolding a gray-clothed servant nearby.
The servants showed fear on their faces. Most of the servants in the Duke's Mansion had earned the Duchess's praise by bullying Huo Yuhao and his mother.
But now Huo Yun'er was dead, Huo Yuhao had fled to the Sun Moon Empire, and publicly revealed many unbearable things during the Soul Fighting Competition, causing the Duke's Mansion—originally with a good reputation—to plummet.
This worsened the Duchess's temper.
These servants, who had previously gained the Duchess's favor by bullying Huo Yun'er and Huo Yuhao, had now become her punching bags.
After a while, the Duchess stopped scolding the gray-clothed servant.
She swept her eyes over the gathered servants, then waved her hand and said, "Go do your work. Don't just stand there."
She walked back into the house, then looked at Zhang Tieshan beside her and asked, "Zhang Tieshan, the people from Sun took your order today and arranged some assassins to meet us. Are you sure they will come?"
Hearing this, Zhang Tieshan responded immediately: "I am very sure. The Sun organization's reputation is still good.
Calculating the time, it shouldn't be long before they arrive at the Duke's Mansion.
When they do, you only need to select some suitable assassins, and I will take these assassins to the Sun Moon Empire immediately to try to kill Huo Yuhao.
Of course, this process may take some time. After all, Huo Yuhao is a genius of the Sun Moon Empire and is protected. Killing him will not be a simple matter."
