Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 260 Afterwards
Based on the life force calculation of Super Douluo, Mu En's generation should be nearing the end of their lives by now. If they had suffered serious injuries that damaged their vital energy when they were young, they would be buried in their graves by now.

Being able to stand here with his entire body intact and full of vitality, Long Xiaoyao has undoubtedly broken through to the limit.

"Tsk~"

Faced with this situation, the usually arrogant Poison Undying finally put away his swagger, and his expression became extremely ugly.

He thought that someone like Moon was already one of a kind in the world, but who would have thought that the strong person who was once on par with him would also reach the same level without anyone noticing!

If the many titles of the Body Sect were at their peak, they might still have the strength to fight. Unfortunately, they are currently at their lowest point, and the aftereffects of the dismantling of their Martial Soul True Body are far from over.

Especially for him, the sect leader, his soul power was almost completely depleted and he couldn't replenish it in time. If a fight broke out, he would be asking for trouble.

"I never expected... you'd actually get involved with the Sun Moon Empire! If I remember correctly, you're from the Heavenly Soul Empire, right? To abandon your family and country just to become a lackey of the Sun Moon, you really have a strong backbone!"

Poison Undying, his eyes icy, spewed barbs while silently accelerating the green soul core within his body, accumulating power. Given the current situation, only igniting the soul core and pushing his strength to its limit could extricate him from this predicament.

"Heavenly Soul..."

Upon hearing these two words, Long Xiaoyao was slightly moved: "It seems my guess was true. Your Body Sect has indeed sided with the Heavenly Soul Empire, which is why you would do such a harmful and self-defeating thing."

"Seek refuge? Hmph~"

Poison Immortal curled his lip, making no attempt to hide his sarcasm: "You think everyone is like you? The Body Sect is now the guardian sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire, sharing both glory and disgrace!"

"... "

Long Xiaoyao fell silent for a moment, as if caught in a dilemma. After a long while, he suddenly pointed.

Although the movement was slow enough for everyone to see clearly, it carried an unavoidable and eerie aura that actually caused the Poison Undying, which was about to spontaneously combust, to stop.

"Didn't you ever think about it? If you were to burn yourself out here right now, your disciples and followers might not survive."

Long Xiaoyao's aura was impeccable, but he had undoubtedly exerted all his strength to activate his soul core, forcefully suppressing the weakened state of Du Busi: "Besides, you can't do such a thing under my nose right now..."

"Lord Sect Master!"

Faced with this old man who brought immense pressure, the Super Douluo in the sect, second only to Poison Undying, shouted and took the lead in attacking, unleashing a punch with his wondrous bones radiating golden light: "Steel Bone True Body!"

Snapped!
Long Xiaoyao simply swayed his body without any fluctuation of soul power, and a layer of silvery-white light appeared on his body surface, blocking the elder's punch halfway.

Layer upon layer of spatial ripples appeared, dissipating all the damage he had unleashed.

"Don't make me do it."

Long Xiaoyao shook his head helplessly.

"You old codger... what exactly do you want?"

The rotation of his soul core was forcibly suppressed, and Poison Undying's face turned red as he struggled to breathe, feeling extremely uncomfortable: "Kill me if you want, release me if you want! A powerful expert standing at the pinnacle of the continent is so indecisive, don't you feel ashamed?"

"That's fine."

Finally, after struggling for a long time, Long Xiaoyao let out a long breath: "Considering your efforts for the Heavenly Soul Empire... as long as you return what you stole, I will let you leave."

"just this?"

Poison Undying's lips twitched, and he casually tossed out a string of storage soul tools like trash. "It's such a small matter, and you're dawdling around, hesitating..."

He thought Long Xiaoyao intended to keep all the high-ranking members of the Body Sect alive...

In a sense, the saying "poison can't kill" is not wrong; Long Xiaoyao is indeed a nagging and weak guy.

He was torn between his own sense of morality and Ye Xishui's, clinging to unrealistic fantasies that she might one day turn over a new leaf, even though she had completely degenerated into a demon.

He treated the same way when facing the Body Sect, the Heavenly Soul Sect, and even the Three Kingdoms of Douluo.

Even though they had already sided with the Sun Moon Empire, they couldn't bring themselves to take drastic measures or be completely hostile.

Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyao was slightly taken aback, then added, "If it's convenient, please give my regards to Shrek Academy."

……

The events that occurred far outside the capital naturally did not affect the Mingde Hall, which was undergoing urgent reconstruction.

Now, the first priority for these Soul Masters is to do everything possible to restore all functions as quickly as possible, especially the Soul Power pipelines that were violently destroyed by the Body Sect.

“There is actually a secret warehouse in the basement of Mingde Hall, which stores forbidden equipment that is not usually used, such as level nine fixed equipment, as well as some special soul tools with improper uses.

After this surprise attack, Xuan Ziwen and the others have completely regarded Huo Yuhao as one of their own. They even dare to casually reveal information that few people in Mingde Hall know: "At least 20% of the pipelines you saw are related to that warehouse. If they are not repaired quickly, there may be big trouble."

Secret warehouse…

The existence of this thing was not unexpected for Huo Yuhao, but what was inside made his eyelids twitch: "According to you, Mingdetang directly buried the high-end custom-made clothing beneath the city?"

"How can you say that? It's clearly a branch of Mingde Hall—"

Busy inscribing the array, Xuan Ziwen casually agreed, but halfway through his sentence, he suddenly realized the problem and slowly put down his carving knife: "Wait a minute..."

Aren't Mingde Hall and even Riyue Academy located in the city?
Although it's not exactly in the city center, it's located at the midpoint of the city's radius!
Buried underground are sixteen level-nine fixed-equipment missiles alone. A massive explosion from all of them would be enough to blow up a third of Mingdu on the spot—carrying a hundred-meter-thick layer of rock with it.

"you're right…"

Thinking of this, Xuan Ziwen's expression turned extremely horrified: "Who...who made this decision?!"

Imagine if the Body Sect's tunnel had reached beneath the experimental site and planted a bomb near the secret warehouse.

"Bang~"

Huo Yuhao's eyes twitched as he uttered an onomatopoeic word.

Looking back on his less than fifteen years of life, he had never been so close to dying a mangled corpse.

"It seems that Mingde Hall needs a renovation... This attack has turned out to be a blessing in disguise, giving us an opportunity to rebuild this place."

Xuan Ziwen sighed wearily, glancing at Huo Yuhao who was maintaining mental surveillance: "But, you really didn't bring this up with the intention of stealing the soul guidance formation?"

Of all the people involved in the attack, Huo Yuhao was the only one who really profited.

The sheer volume of work required for the reconstruction alone would have made him incredibly wealthy. If he hadn't confirmed that Huo Yuhao had no connection to the Body Sect, he would have suspected that Huo was the mastermind behind the attack.
