Chapter 495.1: Sneaking In
Teacher Xiao Ya is indeed in the base. Huo Yuhaoâs eyes brightened, and he turned to Bei Bei. Bei Bei already looked pretty agitated right now. He finally knew where she was, and had an opportunity to save her. Suddenly, Bei Bei was overwhelmed, and subconsciously clenched his fists.
Yan Shaozhe nodded and said, âIâll let you retain your soul power, seeing that you are so cooperative.â As he spoke, he retracted the whirlpool above Nangong Wan and slapped his forehead with his right hand, knocking Nangong Wan unconscious once again.
The entire room descended into momentary silence. They had obtained valuable information after capturing Nangong Wan. Not only did they find out where Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao were, but they also understood more about the internal structure of the Holy Ghost Church. This was very helpful to Shrek Academy to deal with the Holy Ghost Church in the future.
Huo Yuhao looked at Yan Shaozhe and asked, âDean Yan, since we have accurate information, can we planning how weâre going to carry out our operation?â
Yan Shaozhe was amused as he looked at him and said, âDidnât we agree that youâd command the operation? Of course youâll come up with the plan. What ideas do you have?â
Huo Yuhao couldnât be bothered with being modest right now and immediately replied, âIf we want to save Teacher Xiao Ya, we can only bait her out. The Sun Moon Empireâs set-up is too strong. Five soul formations are enough to kill any expert. We need to bait Teacher Xiao Ya out. Otherwise, thereâs no other way.â
Yan Shaozhe squinted and said, âHow do we do that then? Unless itâs a full-scale battle, the Holy Ghost Churchâs sect leader might not appear. Tang Ya will naturally not appear then.â
Huo Yuhao furrowed his brow and said, âYes, thatâs why itâs difficult. If we fight all-out, the Heavenly Soul Empire will suffer heavy losses. Even if the Sun Moon Empire wouldnât have sufficient resources to last the entire fight, theyâll still be very strong once they attack. They still have a lot of evil soul masters to help them. Thatâs why I believe that the Heavenly Soul Empire wouldnât be willing to cooperate with us if that were the plan. If thatâs the case, we only have one other solution.â
âOh?â Elder Song, Yan Shaozhe and Bei Bei focused their attention on Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhaoâs eyes flashed with a cold light and he turned to Nangong Wan before saying, âNothing ventured, nothing gained!â
âNo!â Bei Bei shouted without any hesitation. His eyes were filled with horror.
Although Huo Yuhao only said a few words, Bei Bei knew exactly what he wanted to do.
âYou canât do it. Itâs too dangerous.â Elder Song commented. âYou want to use him to enter the base? Have you even thought of what would happen if you were recognized? There are many powerful individuals in the Sun Moon Empireâs base. The Holy Ghost Churchâs sect leader is even holding the fort. How can you sneak in so easily?â
Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, âElder Song, Dean Yan, eldest senior, donât worry. Since I came up with his idea, Iâm naturally confident that itâll work. Although thereâs some risk, itâs not as bad as all of you think. Elder Song, take a look.â
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao spun once. Suddenly, his aura changed greatly, and his body rapidly transformed. After he completed his turn, his look had completely changed. Didnât he look just like the Masquerade Douluo? Even his aura was identical. It was sinister and cold. There were no discrepancies at all.
âThisâ¦â Earlier, Elder Song and Huo Yuhao had faced the two evil Titled Douluo together. Right now, she was astonished when she saw the changes that happened to Huo Yuhao.
Elder Song was a Rank 97 Titled Douluo. However, she couldnât tell that anything wrong with Huo Yuhao just by using her naked eyes.
Elder Song increased her spiritual power and swept it across Huo Yuhaoâs body. Huo Yuhao shuddered slightly, but a wave of spiritual power was suddenly deflected back. It even carried a sinister aura. Just like before, there wasnât any difference from the Masquerade Douluo.
Huo Yuhao lifted his hands, and pitch-black maggots started to surface in mid-air. Every maggot carried strong spiritual undulations. They reached toward Elder Song like a huge web.
However, Elder Song felt something wrong when she came into contact with this huge web. Earlier, the soul skill that the Masquerade Douluo had unleashed caused her entire person, including her spirit, to slow slightly. However, Huo Yuhaoâs soul skill only left her slightly weaker. There was a difference when it came to strength, but the sinister aura remained.
Elder Song said, âYour soul skill seems to be off, but it appears very similar on the surface.â
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, âIt definitely wonât be the same. However, with my Imitation and Nangong Wanâs help, there shouldnât be too many problems. Nangong Wan holds an even higher position than the Masquerade Douluo. Iâll ask him about some of the Masquerade Douluoâs habits later. After we return, I wonât be easy to recognize with Nangong Wan leading the way. Even the sect leader canât tell who I am without laying his hands on me.â
Bei Bei shook his head and said, âNo, itâs too dangerous. I canât implicate you to save Xiao Ya. Little junior, I know that you want to save her too. If not for the fact that Iâm helpless, I would have volunteered to sneak in instead. However, youâre different. Youâre the future hope of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. I canât make you take this risk. If something happens to you, how could I account to the academy and the rest of our teammates?â
Huo Yuhao said, âEldest senior, we have no other way right now. We can only do this so that we can achieve our aim in the shortest time possible. Furthermore, who says that Iâm going alone? All of you will follow me. I canât fight by myself.â
âWhat?â Bei Bei, Elder Song and Yan Shaozhe were stunned as they looked at Huo Yuhao. Is he not going alone? However, there were so many, of them and none of them had Imitation like Huo Yuhao. How could they sneak in too?
Huo Yuhao smiled mysteriously and said, âLetâs make a simple plan and take advantage of the time that we have to sneak into the Sun Moon Empireâs base first. After that, we can discuss our detailed plan. Weâ¦â
He lowered his voice and explained the plan once. After hearing his plan, Bei Bei looked enlightened, whereas Elder Song and Yan Shaozhe were getting increasingly shocked.
One hour later.
The night sky was still dark, but the Sun Moon Empireâs base wasnât peaceful.
The sect leader of the Holy Ghost Church was standing in the center of the commanderâs tent of the Sun Moon Empireâs Crusading Army. The marshal of this army was a very notable general in the Sun Moon Empire.
Ju Zi returned to the empire, and had other plans. The army was now commanded by this marshal. Although he was already more than seventy years old, he was still a Soul Douluo. He was called Lin Hai. Although his cultivation wasnât great, his influence in the Sun Moon Empire was still great, as he hailed from a family of military men, and he was also a Duke.
Initially, when Ju Zi had entered the army, he had helped her a lot. He was also of the same lineage as Xu Tianran. Otherwise, Xu Tianran wouldnât have passed him the reins of the three armies.
Lin Hai had another advantage that enabled him to become marshal of the three armies. It was his abilities. Weak abilities werenât always necessarily a bad thing. Just because he wasnât a Titled Douluo, he couldnât command the stronger Class 9 soul engineer legion, even though his influence in the army was very great. This was why he could only command the ordinary soldiers. While the legion commanders of the soul engineer legions had to listen to his instructions, they still acted with great autonomy.
Ju Zi could truly ensure strict obedience to her instructions and command the entire army. It wasnât because of her abilities, but because of her mysterious and unpredictable strategies that left the three armies shocked. Right now, Ju Zi was being called the âFemale God of Warâ in the Sun Moon Empire.
Lin Hai didnât possess the same unpredictability as Ju Zi, but he was more sturdy as a person. What was needed now was balance. He was naturally the most suitable person to command the three armies.
However, Lin Hai wasnât in a good mood today. Yesterday, their ground-based surveillance soul tools had discovered enemies sneaking about in the sky. Then, they fired a linked attack, but couldnât lock onto the enemies because they were too far away. This was why he didnât know what had happened. However, he gave the order to increase their surveillance of the sky after that incident.
Indeed, the enemies appeared again today. Just as Lin Hai was about to attack the sky with even greater intensity, the sect leader of the Holy Ghost Church wanted to get people to capture their enemies alive. After all, enemies that could conceal themselves were very difficult to take precautions against. It was better for them to capture them and find out where their abilities came from.
The sect leader of the Holy Ghost Church was also the Imperial Tutor. At the same time, he had the authority to supervise Lin Hai. Lin Hai naturally couldnât stop him, given that he had made such a proposition. As a result, the Heavenly Centipede Douluo and Masquerade Douluo were deployed. To Zhongli Wu, two evil Titled Douluo were enough to capture their enemies.
However, who could guess that Nangong Wan and the Masquerade Douluo would disappear? Even the ground-based surveillance soul tools only discovered strong soul power undulations before the two of them vanished.
They were two evil Titled Douluo. The Holy Ghost Church had been around for so many years, but there werenât many evil Titled Douluo. Zhongli Wu held Nangong Wan in high regard. Although he wasnât young anymore, his Heavenly Centipede could still improve. If he was lucky enough, he might still become a Transcendent Douluo. Now that both of them were missing, how could Zhongli Wu not be furious?
