The Legend of Douluo Continent II: The Phantom of the ...

When we left the Starry Sky Forest, the morning mist in the forest had not yet dissipated.

The branches and leaves of the towering ancient trees drooped down, like a milky white veil, shrouding the distant mountains and nearby waters in a hazy mist. The air was filled with the moist scent of grass and trees, mixed with a faint trace of blood, the remnants of the battle between the soul masters and soul beasts a few days ago.

Su Yu stopped and looked back. Under his feet were several thousand-year-old ironwood trees that had been cut in half by soul skills. The broken parts were charred black like charcoal, and the soil was filled with extinguished, ghostly blue ash. Broken bones were scattered haphazardly on the ground.

This chaotic scene was very much like the sense of loss of control that had deviated from the original story's predetermined trajectory, making him feel vaguely uneasy. He disliked this passive situation.

"It's time to go," he muttered to himself, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing against the storage ring.

The situation that followed was beyond his ability to control perfectly on his own; he needed more assistance as a fulcrum for his plan. But before venturing into that more complex situation, there was one place he had to visit first—the Haotian Sect.

The purpose of his trip was heavy and secretive, and he absolutely could not let Wang Dong'er know the whole plan. He knew better than anyone that once she discovered the truth, she would throw herself into the eye of the storm and stand shoulder to shoulder with him to face the crisis.

Even in the worst-case scenario, if she were truly pushed to the brink, Wang Dong'er would probably interpret what "unwavering until death" means in the most resolute way.

This fear made Su Yu dare not gamble, and absolutely could not gamble!

In his past experiences, he was able to handle things with ease thanks to his familiarity with the original plot and the characters, because everything was under his control. But now, his appearance has triggered a huge butterfly effect, causing many details to deviate from the original story.

Not to mention that everything is like a game, with even greater variables appearing out of nowhere. If everything goes smoothly, he should be staying at Shrek Academy now, waiting for the right time, and then enjoying life according to the original plot.

But plans can never keep up with changes. Too many unexpected things happened, and he never expected that the outcome would turn out like this amidst all the complexities and twists.

"Buzz—!"

A dazzling silver light suddenly erupted as his soul power poured into the flying soul tool without reservation, instantly boosting his speed to its maximum. Su Yu's figure transformed into a streak of light tearing through the air, speeding towards the border of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Although the arrest warrants from the three empires have not been fully issued, his current sensitive identity makes it unwise to expose his whereabouts.

In particular, news about "Experimental Subject No. 1" has been secretly stirring up a huge uproar among many people.

"Looks like I'll have to change my appearance." He muttered to himself as he flew over a city. Long before he set off, he had changed his appearance, concealed his aura, and even disguised his martial spirit as a sword martial spirit copied from Ji Juechen.

He knew Ji Juechen well enough to be confident he wouldn't reveal any flaws. If anyone who knew Ji Juechen were present, they would definitely see that his current appearance bore a striking resemblance to Ji Juechen's.

Composing himself, Su Yu accelerated again, transforming into a streak of light and flying towards the cloud-shrouded Haotian Sect.

As the misty outline emerged, the Haotian Sect was already close at hand. Su Yu slowed his pace and announced loudly, "Junior Su Yu has come to pay respects to the Sect Master of the Haotian Sect. Please announce my arrival!"

Before the words were finished, figures in black robes silently emerged from the clouds. Eyes as black as ink beneath the hood belonged to an elder of the Haotian Sect: "No need to announce our arrival. The Sect Master has decreed that young friend Su Yu may pass freely."

Su Yu was a polite person. After receiving permission, he activated his flying soul tool and transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for the top of Haotian Peak.

A fierce wind howled from the summit, making their clothes flutter loudly. Niu Tian and Titan stood side by side, hands behind their backs, gazing into the distance.

"What mischief are you up to now, kid?" Niu Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of scrutiny hidden in his calm tone. He really couldn't understand why this troublemaker would suddenly visit the secluded Haotian Sect.

Su Yu grinned, revealing a set of white teeth: "I just wanted to check on you two seniors and see if you are doing well."

"Don't give me that crap!" Titan raised a thick eyebrow, his suspicious gaze sweeping over him. "So, what are your plans this time?"

"Senior Titan has such keen insight!" Su Yu readily admitted, "I do indeed have something to ask of you."

Upon entering Haotian Fortress, guests and hosts took their seats. Su Yu cut to the chase: "I've come to ask you two for a favor."

"As long as it's not about relying on the power of the Clear Sky Sect, I might consider it for your sake, kid!" Titan patted his chest, looking all warm-hearted.

Niu Tian didn't reply. He picked up his teacup and took a sip. The rising steam blurred his face, leaving only his deep eyes fixed on Su Yu: "Tell me, what are your plans?"

Su Yu met Niu Tian's gaze: "You must have heard about what's happening outside, senior?"

Niu Tian frowned slightly, asking with some confusion, "Which one are you referring to?"

"All of them." Su Yu's voice was calm and even. "The three great empires are all searching for my whereabouts, so I said all of them."

all??

A sense of foreboding flashed through Niu Tian's mind: "What about the much-discussed Subject Number One? Could he be in your hands too?"

"Number One is in my possession, but I don't have it with me right now," Su Yu said without denying it.

Niu Tian: "..."

"What about the Su family?"

"Too……"

…………

With each question, Niu Tian felt a growing sense of awe.

He couldn't help but recall that after Xiao Dong'er brought the boy back to Haotian Sect to meet his parents, he had ordered people to secretly investigate the Su family. At that time, both Su Yu and the Su family behind him had impeccable family backgrounds.

Now, comparing this young man who is stirring up trouble before me, a strong sense of absurdity and shock wells up in my heart...

For a moment, Niu Tian really wanted to ask Su Yu how he managed to accomplish so many great things in just a few years that most people couldn't do even if they spent their entire lives...

In response, he could only sigh that the person Xiao Dong'er had chosen was indeed no ordinary person!

"I have my own plans for the future, and I am well aware of the consequences of my actions." Su Yu's voice lowered, his tone becoming increasingly serious. "I have come here not to ask for your protection or assistance, but only to ask for one thing..."

Su Yu raised his head, looking intently at Niu Tian, ​​and said, "If I ever meet with misfortune, please tell Dong'er a white lie for me, that I have only disappeared temporarily and that I will reunite with her when the time is right."

This was the last thing Su Yu could do, and it was also the "last pillar" that kept her alive.

"This..." Titan's eyes flashed with a hint of pity upon hearing this. "Kid, don't you have any other ideas?"

Titan recalled the first time he met Su Yu. Back then, Su Yu was a sharp-tongued young man, though he did so to show that he was strong enough to be worthy of Xiao Dong'er. Now, he seemed to be gradually embarking on a path full of danger.

What if there weren't so many variables...?

"Perhaps everything will pass smoothly..." Titan murmured to himself. From the initially sharp and ambitious young man to the later revelation of the Yuanen family, which made him his benefactor, only he knew the complex changes that had occurred...

Niu Tian took a deep breath, scrutinized Su Yu with his gaze, and asked, "What if... you really die?"

Su Yu answered truthfully, "Before setting off, I had already paid my respects to Senior Di Tian. If he were to meet with misfortune, I believe there is no one on the Douluo Continent stronger than him. So Senior, you can rest assured that if something were to happen, the worst outcome would simply be to remain in the Star Dou Great Forest forever..."

"If it really comes to the last step, then please tell Dong'er that I'm waiting for her in the Star Dou Great Forest..."

Niu Tian remained silent for a long time, his knuckles unconsciously tapping the table. He recalled the scene when Su Yu first arrived at Haotian Sect—the young man was somewhat humble, yet he displayed astonishing strength and wisdom at crucial moments. In terms of courage, this kid truly surprised him quite a bit.

"Aren't you afraid we'll tell Xiaodong'er the truth?" Niu Tian suddenly asked, his voice low.

Su Yu shook his head, his gaze frank: "I trust the character of both seniors. Besides, you naturally know the relative importance of this matter. After all, the three great empires are already in an uproar. If I were to intervene, it would inevitably cause a huge uproar. If Dong'er knew, what do you think the outcome would be?"

The answer is obvious. You don't even need to guess what will happen. The Clear Sky Sect is in seclusion. If Wang Dong'er is really drawn into this storm by the information they revealed, Tang San will probably have to personally come down to rescue her.

If this happens, then I can forget about taking that path; I'll just have to accept my fate.

The unification of the Sun Moon Empire is inevitable. However, in the original story, the war for unification was ten thousand years later. Now, by entering the game himself and using the identity of Luo Yu, he has greatly accelerated this process. The ending will inevitably be an earth-shattering war, and his current situation is merely a fuse.

Everything comes at a price; however, some things have negligible costs, while others have incredibly heavy ones…

"From now on, I'll leave the rest to Uncle Niu Tian and Uncle Titan." After explaining the details, Su Yu handed over the forging method of the spirit metal to Titan and asked him to pass it on to the Yuanen family.

The Yuanen family is currently too powerful, and even if I secretly go to the Yuanen family, there is a high chance that I will be discovered. Therefore, having Titan deliver the message is the best outcome.

Even if Titan isn't at the Haotian Sect on this trip, handing it over to Niu Tian and then to Titan will have the same result. As for what to do next, once the Yuanen family receives the letter, they will naturally know.

You don't need to worry about the rest.

Being oblivious to my own mortality, I occasionally open the coffin lid to check on things...

I started liking Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect after I switched dorms with Huo Yuhao.
