More importantly, He Caitou's skin color is far too dark, comparable to some of the dark-skinned nobles of the Sun Moon Empire, and he doesn't look like a native of the Douluo Three Kingdoms at all.
Sometimes Xuanzi even suspected that He Caitou might be a member of the Sun and Moon Nobles lurking in Shrek Academy. Therefore, he naturally had doubts about Fan Yu and He Caitou, the master and disciple pair.
Thinking of this, Xuanzi said calmly, "I suspect Shao Zhe, He Caitou, and Fan Yu. You identify which of these three is your accomplice!"
Xu Sanshi was stunned for a moment, then pondered and said, "Of these three people, only Dean Yan is a traitor, that is, my accomplice."
To be honest, he had no idea whether these three people were traitors. The reason he mentioned Yan Shaozhe was mainly because He Caitou and Fan Yu were not strong enough to contend with Xuanzi. If he identified He Caitou and Fan Yu, Xuanzi would likely investigate Fan Yu and his apprentice, which would undoubtedly have an extremely negative impact on their lives.
Yan Shaozhe is different. He is Elder Mu's disciple, holding a high position and possessing considerable strength. He frequently needs to meet with Elder Mu, and even Xuanzi cannot harm Yan Shaozhe.
"I'm sorry, Dean Yan, I was forced into this situation. If I ever have the chance to leave here in the future, I will definitely make amends to you." Xu Sanshi sighed inwardly.
"Yan Shaozhe is also colluding with the Sun and Moon Sect. What evidence do you have?" Xuanzi frowned slightly.
"Evidence?" Xu Sanshi thought to himself, "Do you really need evidence to determine if someone is a traitor? Can't you just make a guess to confirm whether someone is a traitor?"
After a moment's thought, he offered an idea, pondering, "Dean Yan's team failed, allowing the evil soul masters to slaughter the exchange student team, resulting in Shrek Academy suffering heavy losses in the exchange student program."
Furthermore, think about it, how could the evil spirit masters have taken advantage of your absence to attack the exchange student team and inflict heavy losses? It must be because someone tipped them off!
Upon hearing this, Xuanzi pondered for a moment, then nodded: "I will investigate Shao Zhe."
Then he walked away. Of course, that's what he said on the surface. In fact, he was still thinking of checking up on Fan Yu and He Caitou. Who knew if Xu Sanshi had deliberately singled out Fan Yu and He Caitou to mislead him?
He felt this was possible, so he decided to investigate Fan Yu and He Caitou as well. However, the focus of the investigation should still be on Yan Shaozhe, since Yan Shaozhe's position was too important. If Yan Shaozhe really colluded with both the Sun Moon Sect and the Holy Spirit Sect, then he was no ordinary traitor and a heavy blow had to be dealt with.

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
Huo Yuhao looked at the gray sky and exhaled a breath of white heat. Just now, he was absorbing the essence of the sun to enhance his physical fitness, but now that night had fallen and the sky was covered with dark clouds that blocked the moonlight, he naturally had to choose to do something else.
"What I need now is a soul spirit so that I can become a Soul Saint. Hmm, I'll go to the far north and trick Titan Snow Demon King into coming here too. That way, I can gather the three great kings of the far north in the Sea of Spirit."
He was very confident in persuading Titan Snow Demon King. After all, under the system that prohibited soul beasts from becoming gods, the soul beast race could only become gods through special methods such as "one person attains enlightenment, and even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven." Moreover, there was the Snow Emperor, the "Supreme Emperor" of the far north, who could increase the persuasiveness of his words.
Of course, doing so would pose a safety risk to the soul beasts of the far north, which is the crux of the matter in persuading Titan Snow Demon King and Snow Empress. After all, having taken away the three Heavenly Kings of the far north, there would be no powerful soul beasts to protect those far north soul beast clans.
For both the Snow Empress and the Titan Snow Demon King, having taken the position of ruler of the far north, they must protect the soul beasts of the far north.
However, Huo Yuhao also had a solution. He could simply send some undead to reside in this area and have them protect the soul beast clan. The greatest advantage of undead was their loyalty; they would meticulously carry out his orders.
With that thought in mind, he sent his thoughts to the golden light in his mind: "Dimensional consciousness, I need to go to the far north."
The dimensional consciousness immediately responded: "Okay."
Then Huo Yuhao's figure was enveloped in a golden light and quickly disappeared from the spot.
.........
In the extreme north, the cold wind howled.
The members of the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps were all working hard to mine rare metals. The clanging sounds echoed around the area. If ordinary people were to recklessly mine here, they would inevitably be discovered by the wandering soul beasts and might even be attacked by them.
Fortunately, Huo Yuhao had a good relationship with the spirit beasts here. He had also communicated with the Titan Snow Demon King during his last visit to the far north. The Titan Snow Demon King knew that these people were brought by Huo Yuhao, so the Fire Phoenix Spirit Master Corps was not attacked by spirit beasts while mining ore.
The sounds of mining ore were mixed with voices.
"I never expected that we could mine ore here for so long without being attacked by soul beasts. It's really strange. I was prepared to fight a great battle with the soul beasts."
"This might be thanks to Lord Huo. Last time, Lord Huo even rode back on a 100,000-year-old soul beast. He probably has a good relationship with the soul beasts here."
Chapter 399 The Person Who Sealed the Snow Emperor's Embryo
"That's right. In all my life, this is the first time I've ever seen someone ride a 100,000-year-old soul beast to a human settlement. As expected of Lord Huo, he is indeed an unparalleled young prodigy, capable of even taming a 100,000-year-old soul beast. I wonder whose husband this young prodigy will become in the future."
As they dug for the rare metal, they talked. Because they used their soul power to speak, their voices were not drowned out by the sounds of digging for the rare metal, so they could talk quite smoothly.
At the foot of the snow-capped mountain not far away, an ice bear watched this scene. It seemed very interested in the conversation and remained lying still. However, if a careful observer looked closely, they could see a glimmer of human wisdom in its eyes.
After a while, Luanfeng's reprimanding voice came: "Don't use your soul power to chat while mining rare metals. Finish today's work as soon as possible so everyone can go back to the camp to rest. The far north is too cold. Even with a warm soul tool, mining rare metals outside is a tough job. It's not as comfortable as staying in the camp."
"Yes, Deputy Commander." Everyone answered in unison, and the conversation gradually faded away, leaving only the clanging sound of digging rare metals.
After observing for a while and confirming that it could not hear any useful information, the ice bear got up from the snow and walked away into the distance. Strangely, it did not leave any bear footprints where it walked, but instead left the tracks left by a person wearing boots.
When they reached a secluded spot, the ice bear's body began to shake violently. Then, like a mirror, it shattered with a crash, revealing an old man in a white robe with gray hair. Nine spirit rings rose from beneath his feet.
The color ratio of the spirit rings is two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red.
The light on his first spirit ring was gradually fading, which was related to the spirit skill he had just used. His first spirit ring came from the Ice Silkworm, and the spirit skill was Imitation. As we all know, the Ice Silkworm is a relatively weak spirit beast in the far north. In order to survive, this kind of spirit beast must master the Imitation skill.
This allows him to simulate other soul beasts when hunting or encountering enemies, and his simulation soul skill can only simulate other soul beasts.
The old man in white robes had a ruddy complexion and light steps. The soul rings on his body gradually disappeared, and his eyes were bright and piercing, indicating that he was in good health.
The old man in the white robe was named Tang Yun. He used to be surnamed Liu, and his surname Tang was bestowed upon him.
His mind raced: "I never expected the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps to come here to mine rare metals. Who exactly is this Lord Huo they're talking about? Since he's called a young prodigy, he must be quite young, yet he can ride a 100,000-year-old soul beast. I've been in the Sun Moon Empire for so many years, and I've never seen such a young prodigy."
"Could it be the recently famous genius Huo Yuhao? No, although he is a teenager, he cannot possibly have this kind of strength. Otherwise, someone like me who has cultivated for many years and is still only a ninth-level Soul Master and a Title Douluo would have already found a wall to smash my head against and died. Therefore, the so-called Tower Master Huo must be someone else."
Thinking of this, Tang Yun subconsciously rubbed his ring, a personal habit he had when pondering problems.
The ring gleamed with silver light, its surface adorned with intricate patterns, and a red gemstone adorned its center.
This is his soul-guided storage ring, which contains a large amount of rare metals and soul-guided tools. One of these soul-guided tools even caused a stir several years ago.
That soul-guided device is called the Conferred God Platform.
Back then, Tang Yun obeyed the Sea God's order and infiltrated the far north to seal the Snow Empress's embryo in the Conferred God Platform. Without the Sea God's help, how could he have been so lucky as to use the Conferred God Platform on the Snow Empress just in time for her to take human form?
That's the Snow Emperor, the ruler of the far north. It's impossible for her to tell a human about her preparation to transform. Moreover, with the Snow Emperor's strength and keen senses, even if she's in the process of transforming, she wouldn't be unable to sense someone approaching. His first soul skill, Simulation, can indeed be used for disguise, but in front of the Snow Emperor, this disguise would obviously be seen through at a glance.
Fortunately, the Sea God's strength surpassed that of the Snow Empress, which allowed him to successfully seal the Snow Empress's embryo into the Conferred God Platform.
Then, as instructed by the Sea God, Tang Yun gave the Conferred God Platform and the Snow Emperor Embryo to Xu Jiawei. As the Sea God had predicted, Xu Jiawei put the Snow Emperor Embryo and the Conferred God Platform at the auction, which intensified the conflict between the other people and Mingde Hall.
Of course, he didn't ask the Sea God why he had devised such a plan; in any case, the Sea God must have his reasons for doing so.
As far as he knew, the Body Sect also attacked Mingde Hall afterwards, and then successfully retreated.
Although no news came from Mingde Hall, the Body Sect was not weak and was both righteous and evil. Since they were able to retreat successfully after the attack, it undoubtedly proved that Mingde Hall had suffered huge losses, but they chose to hide the news.
"However, no one could use the Snow Empress's embryo to enhance their own strength. After all, with the Snow Empress's cultivation level, whether it's turning the Snow Empress into a second martial soul or turning the Snow Empress into a soul ring, it's not something an ordinary human could withstand. Perhaps, back when the Sea God hadn't yet become a god, he could withstand a soul ring of this level." He shook his head with some emotion.
Then Tang Yun headed towards the heart of the far north. Recently, he discovered that something unusual had happened in the far north. Now, only the Titan Snow Demon King, which could be called a "little ferocious beast," remained in the far north.
This is undoubtedly an extremely unusual thing.
It's normal that Xue Di isn't in the far north, since she captured the other's embryo herself.
Where is the Ice Emperor? Where is the Ice Bear King? Where did those two go? He searched almost the entire far north, but couldn't find any trace of them, which made him somewhat anxious.
Because of his faith in the sea god, Tang Yun's thoughts were inevitably influenced by the sea god.
Therefore, he believed that all the soul beasts on Douluo Star were essentially the property of Lord Sea God. How could property just disappear so easily? If it were the new star that Lord Sea God had been longing for who took these properties away, that would be one thing. But the problem was, if that were the case, given Lord Sea God's resourceful nature, he would definitely order him not to cause any trouble.
As a loyal believer, Tang Yun wanted to share the burden of the Sea God. However, there was a problem: he could not contact the Sea God on his own initiative and could only wait for the Sea God to contact him.
When the Sea God contacted him before, he had expressed his desire to have the right to contact the Sea God himself.
Chapter 400 The Crisis of the Titan Snow Demon King
As a result, the sea god told Tang Yun that as long as he was devout enough, he would be able to contact the sea god on his own sooner or later.
Soon, he found the Titan Snow Demon King and wanted to talk to him to find out where the Ice Emperor and the Ice Bear King were.
He had already planned that if he couldn't reach an agreement with Titan Snow Demon King later, he would defeat him and force him to reveal the whereabouts of Ice Emperor and Ice Bear King.
He could defeat a mere Titan Snow Demon King. After all, the Sea God had once bestowed upon him a reward, which gave him confidence and helped him overcome his enemy.
The so-called reward was simple: a hidden weapon called the Buddha's Wrath Lotus. According to the Sea God himself, he had created the Buddha's Wrath Lotus in the God Realm and infused it with some of his power. Although it did not reach the level of a divine weapon, it was still empowered by a small amount of divine power.
Its effect is quite good. Not only does it have the function of automatically tracking enemies, but it can also severely injure evil soul beasts with 400,000 years of cultivation. As for those 100,000-year-old soul beasts, unless the opponent happens to use a soul skill similar to the Invincible Golden Body, it can basically kill them.
He looked at the Titan Snow Demon King who was eating and said, "Titan Snow Demon King, I'm here to negotiate. Tell me where the Ice Emperor and the Ice Bear King are, and I can give you an opportunity to become stronger. How about it?"
If he could avoid using this hidden weapon, he would naturally prefer not to. One reason is that while its power might be considered average in the eyes of the Sea God, its power in the lower realm is undoubtedly extremely strong.
On the other hand, his so-called opportunity to become stronger was to make the Titan Snow Demon King also believe in the Sea God.
To be honest, soul beasts can worship the Sea God; the sea soul beasts in the ocean are living examples of this.
If the Titan Snow Demon King can worship the Sea God, then with the influence of the Titan Snow Demon King, it undoubtedly means that a group of soul beasts that worship the Sea God will also appear in the far north.
This would definitely earn the Sea God's praise, and it would also be of great benefit to the Titan Snow Demon King himself, making it a win-win situation.
Titan Snow Demon King raised his head, his enormous body exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression. He looked at Tang Yun and said coldly, "Human, I don't need your so-called opportunity to become stronger. I cannot betray my companions."
Although Ice Emperor and Ice Bear King are not from my clan and we sometimes have friction, they are ultimately soul beasts and my companions.
Moreover, you dared to trespass into the heart of the far north, which undoubtedly threatens the safety of the soul beast clan. You will not leave here today.
After saying that, he roared and charged towards Tang Yun. In an instant, a gale howled and a blizzard raged. As the new ruler of the far north, he had to fulfill his responsibility to protect the far north.
Tang Yun was stunned. He looked at the Titan Snow Demon King, his face gradually darkening. He thought to himself that today's battle might be unavoidable. After all, the Titan Snow Demon King clearly didn't want to talk to him properly.
So he flew backward, successfully dodging the attack of the Titan Snow Demon King. Then, in the howling cold wind, nine rising spirit rings immediately appeared beneath his feet. At the same time, he took out the Buddha's Wrath Lotus, ready to finish the battle quickly.
Although he did have fixed-mount soul-guided cannonballs, which were very powerful, they also had their flaws.
The enemy is not a puppet standing still; they will not allow you to attack them at will. Especially those powerful Soul Masters, whose movement speed is very fast. In a one-on-one situation, it is actually very difficult to hit them directly with a fixed-position Soul Guidance Cannon.
As long as he could defeat the Titan Snow Demon King without killing him, his plan to find the Ice Emperor and the Ice Bear King would be half successful. He believed that the opponent would yield in the face of possible death.
A point of red light suddenly flew out from his hand and rushed towards Titan Snow Demon King. As a mechanical hidden weapon, the greatest feature of Buddha's Wrath Lotus is that it can allow someone who is not familiar with hidden weapons to kill a top expert.
From afar, the center of a "lotus" was radiating a dazzling ruby-like light. Soon, the Buddha's Wrath Lotus flew to the top of Titan Snow Demon King's head.
Titan Snow Demon King instinctively sensed that something was wrong. Although he didn't recognize this so-called "soul tool," he had lived for many years and had come into contact with some soul masters who came to the far north to hunt soul beasts. He naturally knew that soul tools were quite powerful and could help soul masters improve their combat power.
If you try to tough it out, you might end up losing out.
Therefore, for his own safety, he charged directly towards Tang Yun. A blizzard swirled around him, and large amounts of ice rose from the ground, sweeping towards Tang Yun like a tidal wave.
At the same time, Titan Snow Demon King and Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus also increased their distance.
Generally speaking, Soul Masters need to maintain a sufficient distance to fully unleash their power. This is a lesson learned from the blood of many Soul Beasts. Therefore, as long as you keep a certain distance from your opponent, you can gain an advantage.
However, Titan Snow Demon King's plan was destined to fail, because Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus only shook slightly a few times before instantly accelerating and flying back to his side. Tang Yun had already anticipated that Titan Snow Demon King would continue to rush towards him.
While activating the invincible shield he had prepared beforehand, Tang Yun flew rapidly into the distance. Almost instantly, a golden shield appeared around him, and he roared, "Explode!"
