Electrox clenched his hands, though they were illusory and it was impossible to tell that he was actually clenching them.
"How did I die?" Electrox asked, his gaze deep. "In that book."
"Your soul has been scattered. The disciple you took in this world promised to resurrect you, but in the end he forgot. No one remembers you anymore." Xu Yanli smiled, a faint hint of sarcasm on his face, and said.
Electrolux closed his eyes, then slowly opened them again. How could Electrolux willingly bow to fate?
“I’ll go with you, but what do you need, and what do you need me to do?” Electrolux said earnestly.
Xu Yanli stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you for a favor. I would like to ask you to accept me as your disciple."
Electrolux's breath hitched for a moment before he said, "You should know, I hate..."
Xu Yanli smiled and said, "I will use my martial spirit and soul to tell you that as long as you are willing to help me, teach me, and work with me to turn this world upside down, I will definitely travel to all the heavens and myriad worlds in the future. Even if I have to travel all over the worlds and search through time and space, I will find your other souls and origins and bring you back from the brink of death."
“I will show you with my actions that even someone as cunning as me will pursue the light at all costs. We have ambition, but we also have our bottom line,” Xu Yanli said, staring at him and enunciating each word clearly.
Xu Yanli breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't know if these words would be of any use. He wanted to receive Electrolux's sincere guidance, not...
Electrolux kept his eyes closed.
Xu Yanli could tell that his emotions were unstable.
This time, after an unknown amount of time, Electrolux suddenly burst into laughter: "Holding the sun and moon in my hands and plucking stars from the sky, there is no one like me in this world, hahaha..."
He quickly regained his composure, chuckled, and said, "Okay."
“I took you as my disciple. Over the years, although I don’t remember clearly, some people have plotted against me, and some have tried to kill me, but I’ve never seen anyone as foolish as you. You came in and immediately poured out your heart, revealing all your secrets, and even used your own foundation to resurrect me.” Electrolux patted Xu Yanli on the shoulder.
“You’re the first one who’s shown such sincerity, so I, this remnant soul, will stay with you. Starting tomorrow, I will formally teach you necromancy,” Electrox said with a smile.
Xu Yanli looked up at Electrolux, a faint smile appearing on his lips. It was done.
"But let me make this clear from the start: when I teach my apprentices, I'll train them to the bone. If you can't handle it, you're free to leave anytime," Electrox said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I am not afraid of suffering the most." Xu Yanli scratched his neck and smiled easily.
“Alright, the people outside should be looking for you soon, but I’ve remembered what you said.” Electrox said with a smile, as his body slowly shrank back into the small gray-gold sphere.
Xu Yanli slowly withdrew from his spiritual sea and looked outside; it was already getting dark.
He knew that what he had just said was indeed risky, but the rewards were equal. If he were to spend a lot of time like Huo Yuhao did to gain Electrolux's trust, it would be too late for him at the moment.
Besides, so what if he exposed his identity as a time traveler?
Electrolux was completely unable to leave his spiritual sea at this moment, and even needed the life seed in his spiritual sea to heal his soul.
"You're awake? Sometimes you need to relax a bit. Don't keep yourself so tense every day." Kong Deming's sincere words interrupted his thoughts.
"Teacher, I'm fine. I was just tired and needed to rest," Xu Yanli said with a smile.
"Here, this is another message from the Heavenly Soul Empire," Kong Deming said softly.
"Let me see." Xu Yanli said calmly as she slowly took the paper from the teacher.
"The Body Sect has appeared. This is really good news." Xu Yanli's brain began to slowly start working.
However, it's probably not so easy for the Body Sect to make the other party submit.
Especially those simple-minded, physically strong guys who strongly resisted the existence of soul tools.
Xu Yanli knew at this moment that he was at a complete disadvantage, but given Du Busi's personality, he might very well turn to him. After all, he had the opportunity to become a god, and their Body Sect also needed a way out.
What is more important than the future gods, even if it's just a bargaining chip for the princess?
Xu Yanli slowly crumpled the paper, tossed it back into his storage soul tool, and then calmly said, "We need to get to the Heavenly Soul Empire as soon as possible. By the way, has there been any movement from the Holy Church? Who came?"
"His Highness the Crown Prince said that the Dragon Emperor Douluo is coming," Kong Deming said, rubbing his temples.
Xu Yanli: ? ? ?
What? This isn't a trivial matter. Is it really necessary to send a Limit Douluo? Is it really necessary?
"Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao?" Xu Yanli asked again, a hint of disbelief in his voice.
"Yes," Kong Deming said with a hint of helplessness.
Xu Yanli paused for a moment, then smiled and waved, signaling everyone to continue forward.
His expression seemed to say, "Let's not discuss this for now."
About three more days passed, and Huo Yuhao grilled fish several more times, which surprised and delighted Gu Yuena.
Xu Yanli, refusing to believe it, went up and grilled it twice, but ended up with a pile of charcoal-grilled fish.
Xu Yanli rubbed his temples and finally gave up on the matter.
They finally arrived at the capital of the Heavenly Soul Empire two days later.
Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao, wearing a mask, waited outside the city.
"So you are the Carefree King?" Long Xiaoyao's voice slowly drifted over.
"It is indeed I," Xu Yanli said with a calm smile.
"Is there anything I can do?" Long Xiaoyao asked calmly.
Chapter 36 The Xuanming Sect says the Xiaoyao Pavilion is nothing more than an opportunistic merchant.
"Let's go inside first and talk," Xu Yanli said with a smile.
Xu Yanli gestured for Long Xiaoyao to join him in entering Tiandou City, the capital of the Tianhun Empire.
This very ancient city was more prosperous than Xu Yanli had imagined, with many shops lining the streets and a large number of pedestrians.
It just lacks the technological feel of Mingdu.
Xu Yanli's gaze did not linger on the bustling crowd, but instead fell on the masked old man beside him.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Xu Yanli's eyes. He had originally planned to use the evil soul master to draw blood, but he didn't expect to be sent by Long Xiaoyao.
It seems that his older brother is quite considerate of his feelings, and even took into account the issue of his martial spirit.
What's good is that he is a Limit Douluo, and he is very powerful. In fact, because he has been missing for many years, no one knows where he is.
As for whether he would reveal that he was here for Mu En's sake, he felt that his brother would not tell Long Xiaoyao about this, but would only tell him that Xiaoyao Wang had something to deal with.
However, he did not expect that his elder brother was really willing to spend money. In order to help him deal with this small matter of the Xuanming Sect, he actually sent a Limit Douluo.
Of course, it's also possible that the Holy Spirit Cult wanted to demonstrate its strength while simultaneously conveying its willingness to cooperate.
Xu Yanli slowly led the group into the Xiaoyao Pavilion, then invited them to sit down and poured them a pot of tea. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor need not take action personally. This mere Xuanming Sect is not worth your time. You only need to keep watch for me and prevent any accidents from happening."
Long Xiaoyao's eyes flickered slightly beneath his mask, seemingly showing some interest in this young Xiaoyao King.
He never imagined that someone could make that madman relinquish power, and that the person who relinquished power would be such a talented prince.
"Your Highness is quite confident," Long Xiaoyao said in a slightly hoarse voice. "Although the Xuanming Sect isn't exactly a top-tier sect, it does have a Title Douluo in charge. Your Highness, are you sure your Soul King cultivation level is enough to handle this?"
Xu Yanli smiled but didn't say anything, though a faint sense of helplessness was evident in his expression.
It seems there won't be any bloodshed this time. I thought Huo Yuhao would finally get to see some blood.
However, it seems that this time, he won't need to take action personally, or rather, he has never taken action himself.
A wise man does not stand against high walls. Even if he were to take action, he would only strike those he is confident in. Now that he possesses the inheritance of a god-king, he naturally prioritizes his own life.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I know what I'm doing. Besides, you're in charge, aren't you?" Xu Yanli smiled, then turned to Kong Deming, who was following behind him, and asked, "Teacher, what's the situation with the Xuanming Sect?"
Kong Deming paused, then flipped through his small communicator, found the information, and said: "Xu Feng, the sect leader of Xuanming Sect, is a level 96 Title Douluo with the Xuanming Shield martial soul. He is a defensive Soul Master. The sect has three Title Douluos, not counting Soul Douluos. Although the sect's relic is not as good as the Body Sect in Tiandou City, it is still considered a first-class sect."
Xu Yanli's expression was somewhat gloomy, and then he tapped the table rhythmically.
The manager of Tiandou City immediately came out, looking somewhat flustered and with an unusually grim expression.
"They rejected our cooperation proposal?" Xu Yanli smiled.
"That Sect Master Xu not only rejected us, but also destroyed the accompanying video that our Xiaoyao Pavilion submitted. He also said that Xiaoyao Pavilion is nothing but opportunistic merchants who have made their fortunes through trickery, and is not worthy of discussing cooperation with their Xuanming Sect." The manager lowered his head deeply and swallowed a few times as he spoke.
Xu Yanli was not angry at all after hearing this; instead, she laughed.
The smile looked very calm, but Gu Yuena, who was standing next to him, subconsciously shrank her neck.
For some reason, she felt that Xu Yanli had a particularly dangerous aura about him at this moment.
“Opportunistic merchants.” Xu Yanli rested his chin on his hand and softly repeated what the manager had just said.
Xu Yanli continued in a very gentle tone, "It seems that this Sect Master Xu has some misunderstandings about our Xiaoyao Pavilion. In that case, we should help clarify these misunderstandings."
"Your Highness, what do you plan to do?" Kong Deming asked.
Xu Yanli didn't turn around directly, but instead turned to look at Huo Yuhao, who was standing quietly to the side: "How is it? Yuhao, how wide can your mental detection cover now?"
"With Tianmeng's assistance, it should be able to cover the area of a small sect," Huo Yuhao said softly.
At this time, Huo Yuhao's physical condition was much better than in the original story, since he was practically eating those rare and precious medicinal herbs that could strengthen the body.
To be honest, if running were effective, then why have those who have dominated the Douluo Continent for so many years been at least noble children or people with powerful backers, instead of ordinary people with mutated martial souls?
Innate soul power is one aspect, but acquired resources are another.
If running can improve physical fitness, then...
“Very good. Tonight or tomorrow, do something for me. I need you to scout out the Xuanming Sect’s terrain map, personnel distribution, and patrol routes.” Xu Yanli nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile.
Before satellites were developed, Huo Yuhao was a decent humanoid satellite.
As for loyalty, he doesn't consider that; as long as it works for now, that's fine.
"Yes, teacher." Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with excitement.
He knew that he finally had a way to help his teacher.
Gu Yuena watched this scene quietly from the side, a thoughtful look flashing in her amethyst eyes.
She couldn't understand this human. He was so weak, with only the cultivation of a Soul King, yet he dared to attack a sect that had a Title Douluo.
He clearly has a Limit Douluo registered, yet he deliberately orchestrates his own schemes, and despite his young age, he gives off an impression of being a master strategist and a cunning old fox.
Xu Yanli felt Gu Yuena's gaze, which seemed to be fixed on her, and suddenly turned her head with a smile: "What are you thinking about?"
"I... I'm wondering, will we be in danger if we deal with such a powerful sect?" Gu Yuena's heart skipped a beat, but her face still showed a very timid and shy appearance.
Xu Yanli stared at Gu Yuena for two seconds, then suddenly smiled, stood up, walked to Gu Yuena's side, and touched her hair.
"Don't worry, since you've followed me, I won't let you be in any danger." Xu Yanli rubbed it a couple more times and smiled. He hadn't expected the Silver Dragon King's skin to feel so good.
