Unrivaled Tang Sect, starting from exchanging dormitories with Huo Yuhao

Chapter 288 Evacuation (Part 1)

He Caitou slowly projected the recorded scene using his soul tool. On a flat open ground, within a space of several hundred meters in radius, the earth seemed to have been swept by a gale, and a circular pit was carved out.

“I didn’t find anything in the pit. It was as if it had been wiped away by human hands, leaving only the ground that was originally there. But, not far from this big pit, I found this. I don’t know what it is, but I think some of you should know.”

A fragment shimmering with a faint golden light, resembling either a scale or a fragment of some kind of armor, was soft yet exceptionally tough.

Wang Dong'er looked at the fragment thoughtfully.

"This is something left behind by Wang Qiu'er. It contains some of the power of the Golden Dragon Spear, as well as something formed from the special soul power of Wang Qiu'er's own martial soul." Wang Dong'er spoke slowly. She had been in contact with Wang Qiu'er before, so she naturally knew what it was.

Huo Yuhao continued, "Based on my observations, that explosion earlier should have been Wang Qiu'er's final blow..."

“Their failure means we’re on the right track, but we can’t go on any longer. Wang Qiu’er…” Bei Bei paused, then continued, “She sent a signal before they left, so our mission has to end here.”

Wang Dong'er had no time to grieve; her only goal now was to survive and escape from the Sun Moon Empire. "I agree with Senior Brother's opinion. Our plan has already achieved its objective. It's unrealistic to rescue the hostages from all the difficulties. Besides, we already know that the hostages are still safe, and that's enough."

“Actually, I suspect our whereabouts have already been exposed, but they don’t seem inclined to act now, just like they did with Wang Qiu’er. They would have immediately closed in once Wang Qiu’er and her group made any unusual moves. So, we should leave now; the current situation is beyond our control.”

Wang Dong'er briefly reviewed the situation. She had a vague sense of déjà vu about the current predicament, as if...

Six months ago, in Mingdu!

“Wang Dong’er’s meaning is quite clear. Wang Qiu’er has failed, and we have achieved our goal. If we continue to linger, the outcome will likely not be much better than Wang Qiu’er’s. Moreover, when Su Yu was still around, he was the one who led us and Elder Xuan to escape from Mingdu. If Su Yu cannot appear in time this time, we…”

Huo Yuhao knew Su Yu would definitely come, but he didn't dare to gamble. If he fell into the hands of the Sun Moon Empire, he knew what Luo Yu wanted to do. Since Luo Yu could pilot the second experimental subject, he would definitely study his martial soul carefully and figure out how to obtain the martial soul of ultimate ice.

Just as Tianmeng Bingcan said, he would spend the rest of his life in the laboratory, being studied as an experimental subject until he died!

He backed down when facing Su Yu last time. That gray thing disappeared from Su Yu's mind, allowing him to resolve the hidden danger. But even now, he doesn't dare to face Su Yu about this matter, because he is afraid that his secret will be exposed.

Although Elder Mu knew a little bit, he was someone he could completely trust. But the Sun Moon Empire wouldn't tell him that much; falling into their hands was worse than death.

"So, Senior Brother, let's go. This is something we can no longer get involved in. The three great empires are destined to go to war with the Sun Moon Empire, and our mission should be over." Huo Yuhao was very calm. The best way to deal with being trapped is to retreat in time.

"Does anyone have any other opinions?" Bei Bei was also hesitant to make decisions about the current situation.

After a long silence, He Caitou suddenly asked, "How is the situation at the academy? Is there any new news?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "Since Wang Qiu'er's team completely lost contact, there has been no new news. I guess the academy is probably making other important decisions right now."

"It's about Su Yu, isn't it? While we still have time to think, let's figure out how to discuss it. Didn't Senior Brother Xu say that he'd explain it in detail when he and Big Brother come back?" Xiao Xiao asked.

Su Yu's matter is very complicated and is inherently a secret, but it was unintentionally leaked to Xu Sanshi's ears through some clandestine channels. This kind of unexpected event is just a matter of chance and coincidence.

"Now that everyone is here, I'll give you the complete account of what happened, based on the information from the family. Although I shouldn't be telling you these things, we're all Shrek Seven Devils. No matter what the future holds, Su Yu is still my captain, at least until we return to Shrek..."

"Seven days ago, I received a message from my family's secret agents. This message shouldn't have reached me, but it did by some twist of fate. The reason was the disastrous defeat of the three great empires in the Battle of Mingdu, and as everyone knows, the three great empires were completely wiped out."

"Everyone knows these things without me having to explain them. Then there's the pressure from public opinion within the Star Luo Empire on the Su family. In the end, Su Yu abandoned the Su family and went to the Sun Moon Empire. Although Su Yu didn't defect to the enemy, all the clues we've found point to Su Yu alone. If one clue is a coincidence, then all the clues pointing to Su Yu are no coincidence."

"Actually, all of this was just public pressure, but what really ignited this matter was the result of the investigation that the Star Luo Emperor ordered the Luo family to conduct. After the investigation, the Luo family came to a shocking conclusion: Number One is in Su Yu's hands!"

"At the same time, the Star Luo Empire's spies discovered Su Yu's parents in Mingdu, which means that the events in Star Luo City a year ago were all fabricated by Su Yu. Combined with the problems discovered earlier, Su Yu purchased a large amount of rare metals during the previous All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, and frequently traveled to and from the Sun Moon Empire during that period."

"After Elder Mu passed away, Su Yu practically settled in the Sun Moon Empire. Coupled with his close relationship with Hall Master Jing Hongchen and the shocking defeat in the last Battle of Mingdu, it's hard not to suspect Su Yu..." Xu Sanshi finished recounting the whole story in one breath. He looked at everyone, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.

"What is the attitude of the three great empires now?" Bebe continued to ask.

Xu Sanshi sighed, "The attitude of the three great empires is to kill or cripple him, while Shrek Academy's attitude is that the academy will handle it in its own way, a point that the three great empires have not denied. So, now it depends on which side Su Yu ends up in."

“But is there a third possibility…” Beibei’s meaning was clear; it was an ending that none of them wanted to face.

"If those two really join forces, unless all the level 90 and above Douluo of the three great empires work together to kill them quickly, otherwise, if they grow stronger, the fate of the three great empires will be extremely tragic, perhaps even..."

Destroy the country!

Beibei doesn't deny that Su Yu has this ability. Mu En once had a conversation with Beibei when Su Yu was studying as an exchange student in the Sun Moon Empire.

That day, inside the Sea God Pavilion.

Moon looked at Beibei and slowly asked, "Beibei, what are your thoughts on Su Yu?"

Golden light shone on Moon's face, making his expression exceptionally kind.

“He is strong, resourceful, and has the unique shrewdness of a businessman, but he has principles and a bottom line in his actions. The only variable is that he doesn’t seem to have a strong sense of belonging to the academy.” Bei Bei stated her deduction without hesitation.

Moon slowly opened his eyes, his lips moving slightly. "He's hiding something. It seems he has many things he doesn't intend to say."

"Hmm?" Beibei was slightly taken aback. She thought Moon would express his opinion, but she received such a strange reply instead.

“I once asked Su Yu what he thought about the future of the three great empires. Guess what Su Yu’s answer was?” Mu En narrowed his eyes and looked at Bei Bei with a kind expression.

Beibei was slightly taken aback. "What did he say?"

"No, he shook his head calmly, saying that the three great empires are so vast, how could a mere Soul Master like him dare to speak presumptuously about what the future holds? I know this kid is pretending to be stupid. If he were truly stupid, he wouldn't have chosen the path of fusing Martial Soul and Soul Guidance. In terms of temperament, he is more open-minded than all of you, but that is also his greatest weakness."

Mu En did not regret taking Huo Yuhao as his disciple, but he wanted Su Yu more. However, he knew that Su Yu did not want to stay at Shrek Academy, so he did not force him. If Su Yu was willing to stay, he was destined to become the next Sea God Pavilion Master!

Mu En trusted his judgment. Back in the Soul Guidance Department, he had secretly observed Su Yu and even flipped through Su Yu's notes. Naturally, he knew how advanced Su Yu's ideas were.

"He is a man who knows how to assess the situation. In handling matters, he has the shrewdness and worldly wisdom of a businessman. However, he doesn't seem to want to get involved in the academy's affairs. He only steps forward when he has no other choice. I once heard Xuanzi say that he was not interested in the competition before it started. Wang Dong'er said that he always prefers to stay in the background rather than take the lead."

"Although his martial soul isn't as strong as Huo Yuhao's, and his potential as a soul master might not be as great as yours, his role in the academy's soul guidance department far surpasses your role in the martial soul department. I hope you can learn from Su Yu, learn his judgment and analysis of things, and his comprehensive consideration of solutions. But..."

"If he ever harbors ill intentions in the future, I hope you can guide him back to the right path..."

"Ancestor Xuan, you..."

Beibei stared blankly at Mu En, whose expression was serious, speechless with surprise.

Will the future really be like that?

I'm leaving my job, and I don't know if I'll have time to continue writing in my new position. Perhaps this really is a version I'll never finish in my lifetime. Best regards everyone. Although I'm not a very qualified author, I still hope to finish this book sometime.
