"Long time no see, Your Majesty the Empress. Though, in this place, it might be more fitting to call you the Empress War God." Huo Yuhao said with a smile.
Ju Zi's delicate face revealed a look of being flattered. She quickly said, "You are too kind, Chief Designer. This humble woman is but a small figure, how could I be worthy of such a title as the Empress War God? Please, have a seat."
Huo Yuhao shook his head lightly with a smile, then, without standing on ceremony, sat down at the empty seat next to the meeting table under the guidance of an attendant. He greeted the nearby soul engineer legion commanders.
"Marshal Ju Zi is too modest. Without you, Empress, how could our Sun Moon Empire have achieved such victories so quickly?"
Ju Zi looked at the youth who was a few years younger than her with a peculiar gaze. In her heart, she could not help but feel overwhelmed. 'What kind of existence must he be to achieve such astonishing accomplishments at such a young age?' The words she had just spoken were truly heartfelt. In the face of Huo Yuhao's remarkable achievements and brilliance, her own command skills seemed insignificant.
The burly commander of the Terrorclaw Soul Engineer Legion spoke with a heavy voice, "Forgive me, Chief Designer, but may I ask why you have left the Star Luo War Zone at this critical moment to come here?"
Although Huo Yuhao's feats had spread throughout the Sun Moon Empire and were praised by all classes of society, as with all things, there were still voices of doubt. Some questioned how someone so young, whose personal cultivation strength was not the strongest, could rise to such power.
The Terrorclaw Commander was one of these skeptics. As a commander of a Hand of the Nation legion, he placed immense importance on strength. To him, Huo Yuhao's age, soul power, and soul engineer level were all too low to warrant his current status. Seeing Huo Yuhao now appearing here, seemingly basking in success, naturally stirred some dissatisfaction in his heart.
Noticing the scrutinizing gaze, Huo Yuhao's lips curled into a slight smile. 'So there are still people within the empire who doubt me. Well, that is only natural.'
'If they are unconvinced, then I must convince them. Is that difficult? Not at all.' Huo Yuhao knew exactly how extraordinary he was. With time, the voices of opposition would only diminish, overwhelmed by his growth.
Huo Yuhao chuckled and said, "I heard that the Heavenly Soul War Zone is facing a dilemma — that is, the powerful spirit masters stationed inside Heavenly Soul City. Surely none of you wish to see your precious soldiers fall to the hands of the Douluo Three Kingdoms' spirit masters, correct?"
The Terrorclaw Commander remained silent, but others nodded in agreement.
Ju Zi sighed, "That's right." Then her eyes lit up with expectation as she looked toward Huo Yuhao. "Could it be that Chief Designer has come here to..."
Huo Yuhao smiled. "Indeed. I have a plan that can allow us to seize Heavenly Soul City without losing a single soldier, thus completely conquering the Heavenly Soul Empire."
Everyone present was stunned. No casualties? How could that be possible?
The Terrorclaw Commander blurted out instinctively, "Impossible!"
Many officers frowned at his rudeness. Ju Zi also knitted her brows slightly, just about to gently rebuke him when Huo Yuhao simply smiled and said calmly, "Naturally, it's possible. What if I told you that in my hands are the lives of the Heavenly Soul Empire's eldest princess, Weina, and the Central Grand Duke's daughter, Mu Xue?"
For a moment, the entire tent seemed frozen. Everyone held their breath, digesting his words.
'He has the most important hostages of the Heavenly Soul Empire?'
If this were true, then what Huo Yuhao proposed — conquering Heavenly Soul City without bloodshed — was indeed possible.
Even the skeptical Terrorclaw Commander could not refute it. He had not imagined that Huo Yuhao held such a trump card. 'Just how did he capture these two figures who held such high status in the Heavenly Soul Empire?'
Ju Zi took a deep breath to calm her excitement. "If what you say is true, then we indeed have a chance to take the city without loss. However, Chief Designer, do not forget, the Body Sect Master, Du Busi, is still inside Heavenly Soul City. With him there, mere hostages may not be enough to force surrender."
Huo Yuhao smiled slyly. "Marshal Ju Zi, I haven't finished speaking. As for Du Busi... I have full confidence in dealing with him. All you need to do is release news to Heavenly Soul City that someone very familiar to the Body Sect Master is awaiting him."
The next day after Huo Yuhao's arrival, inside the Heavenly Soul Emperor's sleeping chambers.
Xue Tianji trembled as he read the letter from the Sun Moon Empire army outside the city. After finishing, he slumped onto his dragon throne as if drained of all strength, letting the letter slip through his fingers to the ground.
Du Busi frowned and picked up the letter. "Brother Xue, what nonsense have those Sun Moon bastards written to you?" Right now, only the two of them were in the palace.
Xue Tianji wore an expression that seemed caught between crying and laughing. "Brother Du... take a look yourself," he said in a pained voice.
Du Busi quickly read the letter, his face turning ashen. "Impossible... How could Her Highness the Princess and young Mu Xue have fallen into the hands of the Sun Moon Empire?!"
"Exactly... I also believed they perished in the Extreme North..." Xue Tianji clutched his face with one hand, his body trembling.
"Click!" Du Busi slammed the letter down onto the table angrily. "Could this be a trick? Could those Sun Moon bastards be trying to shake your will, Brother Xue?"
Xue Tianji sighed deeply. "I don't know... But I do know that unless there was a traitor among the Heavenly Soul Empire's upper echelons, it would have been impossible for the news of the princesses' disappearance to reach the Sun Moon Empire."
