If the Evil Emperor had teeth, he would definitely be biting them.
Fighting was an option, but for a battle between top experts to erupt on his home turf, regardless of the outcome, the core of the Demon Forest would likely be destroyed, and it might even affect the clans he was cultivating for possession. That would be a huge loss.
More importantly, compared to Mu En, Niu Tian was more feared by the Evil Emperor. His mental strength was definitely the strongest among soul beasts, even Di Tian was wary of him, yet this person easily blocked it. He was no ordinary person.
So... he couldn't fight.
After all, he was a top expert, and he wouldn't be so angry and reckless just because he lost face.
Visibly, the Evil Emperor's mental pressure in the sky was dissipating.
"Please do as you please."
The red light receded from the clouds, and the Evil Emperor's massive and oppressive body disappeared without a trace.
The Demon Emperor cursed inwardly that the Evil Emperor had run away faster than a rabbit, but he did not withdraw his pressure; in fact, it became even stronger.
She only had her daughter as family, and she couldn't abandon her.
The Evil Emperor's retreat immediately drew Mu En and Niu Tian's attention to the Demon Emperor. Niu Tian calmly said, "Are you planning to continue? If I'm not mistaken, you should still be carrying some kind of injury, right?"
As he spoke, a deep cyan-gold light flashed behind Niu Tian, the air suddenly solidifying, and even the space itself seemed to tremble.
Niu Tian stood there, seemingly suppressing everything.
Even the Demon Emperor, with his strength, was shaken.
Indeed, Niu Tian's cultivation was, to be precise, at the God-Official level, only suppressed to the Limit Douluo level.
"Release my daughter, and everything will be over." The Demon Emperor knew he was no match for Niu Tian, but his tone showed no sign of backing down.
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo frowned, about to say that they had never even seen his daughter, so how could they return her? But at that moment, Huo Yuhao stepped forward and spoke first, "I promise you, senior, I will return your daughter."
"Hmm?" Qian Duoduo, Mu En, and Niu Tian all looked at Huo Yuhao. Qian
Duoduo was especially astonished. You
really kidnapped someone's daughter?
Aren't you afraid your father-in-law will slap you?
Realizing the strange looks from his elders, Huo Yuhao coughed and transmitted his voice through his soul power, "I'll explain this later."
Niu Tian and the others then looked away.
"Actions speak louder than words." Huo Yuhao's answer softened the Demon Emperor's tone.
"That's true." Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement. He chanted incantations, placed his palm on the ground, and gently drew a magic circle with his spiritual power. The next moment, a beam of light rose from the magic circle.
It was a gray beam of light, inside which was imprisoned a girl who didn't look very old.
It seemed the spatial shift was making her uncomfortable; she still had her eyes closed.
The fluctuations of the magic circle were peculiar, completely different from the soul skill system of Douluo Continent, which puzzled Mu En and Niu Tian, but they said nothing, keeping it to themselves.
"Lan Fuzi." In the sky, looking at the girl inside the pillar of light, the Demon Emperor's face tightened, and he called out anxiously.
As if hearing a familiar voice, Lan Fuzi slowly opened her closed eyes, and Huo Yuhao's face came into view. She subconsciously retreated, but at that moment, she must have sensed the Demon Emperor's aura, because her delicate body trembled, and she quickly turned around, meeting the Demon Emperor's gaze.
"Mother." Lan Fuzi opened her beautiful eyes wide and called out excitedly.
Huo Yuhao waved his hand, and the pillar of light that had imprisoned Lan Fuzi slowly dissipated. "Go, return to your mother's side, but remember, don't forget what I said."
Freed from her restraints, Lan Fuzi looked at Huo Yuhao's serious eyes and subconsciously nodded. Then, she moved, flying into the air towards the Demon Emperor.
The Demon Emperor swiftly approached, embracing his daughter while constantly checking her body for injuries, but clearly, she was unharmed.
This relieved the Demon Emperor.
Lan Fuzi felt a warmth in her heart. "I'm alright, Mom. Speaking of which, it was this person who saved me."
"He saved you?" The Demon Emperor was hardly incredulous.
"Yes." Lan Fuzi said softly, "Mom, let's leave first. I have something to tell you alone, it's about Dad." Upon
hearing the word "Dad," the Demon Emperor's pupils contracted slightly, and the strength in his embrace of Lan Fuzi involuntarily increased.
She gave Huo Yuhao a deep look, then said to everyone, "Farewell."
A deep purple soul light enveloped the two of them, and they shot into the distance like shooting stars, quickly disappearing without a trace.
"Yuhao, what exactly happened? How did her daughter end up in your hands?" Qian Duoduo couldn't help but ask.
Huo Yuhao explained, "Back then at the Starry Sky Auction House in the Star Luo Empire, Mingde Hall bid on a soul beast embryo imprisoned by the Conferred God Platform soul tool. Mingde Hall won, and they took it back. Then, half a year ago, Mingde Hall was ambushed, right? I happened to get my hands on the Conferred God Platform. I never expected to almost lose my life today."
His explanation wasn't entirely thorough, but it gave a general outline.
Hearing Huo Yuhao's lingering fear, the three exchanged glances and chuckled.
Huo Yuhao laughed along, but his thoughts had already drifted far away. He wondered if Lan Fuzi could convey his instructions to the Demon Emperor.
If the Demon Emperor joined them, dealing with the Sea God family in the future would be much easier.
"This Evil Eye doesn't have a soul bone inside, let's leave here first," Niu Tian said, glancing at the corpse of the Evil Eye lying on the ground.
Immediately, Huo Yuhao, having reaped a considerable harvest, flew towards Mingdu under the protection of the three powerful figures.
The oppressive aura that had permeated the Demon Forest subsided, and the sunlight finally continued to fall.
The deep spiritual power withdrew only after everyone had left, and the Evil Emperor, having suffered a silent loss, still harbored anger in his eyes,
but was powerless to do anything.
...
"You said it's related to your father, what exactly do you mean?" By the stream, the Demon Emperor asked Lan Fuzi with a cold face.
Lan Fuzi knew what her father, who had long since died at the hands of the Sea God, meant to her mother, and said in a deep voice, "The person who saved me is called Huo Yuhao. He told me that he had a grudge against Tang San and hoped to get to know you, Mother, through me."
"He has a grudge against Tang San?" The Demon Emperor's expression was strange; she couldn't believe that a person from ten thousand years ago and a boy from ten thousand years later could have any hatred.
"Not only that, this Huo Yuhao seems to be able to see the secrets of everything. He knows my name and even my father's name perfectly. Mother, I suspect he has some hidden methods. Perhaps we could make contact with him and learn more about him," Lan Fuzi said solemnly.
The Demon Emperor neither agreed nor refused, but her thoughtful gaze revealed that she was not at peace.
To deal with Tang San alone, she was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, destined for self-destruction. Therefore, finding a suitable ally was essential.
Although Huo Yuhao's cultivation level was currently low, the people around him were all incredibly powerful. Perhaps she really could try to make contact with him.
" ...
So, Uncle Niu, you came to see me specifically for these two things?"
On the balcony of a hotel in Mingdu, Niu Tian stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the vast human city. He felt very uncomfortable, yet a strange feeling welled up within him.
Huo Yuhao stood behind Niu Tian, speaking.
"More or less." Niu Tian turned around and said to Huo Yuhao, "Tell me, how confident are you in creating an artificial soul ring?"
Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice, "With the help of the plane's consciousness, I'm 100% confident." "
100%." Niu Tian sighed softly, "That probability is too high, almost unrealistic. But if it's something you're going to do, I have a blind faith in you. If you ever need any help in the future, just come to me."
"Then this junior won't be polite." Huo Yuhao didn't refuse.
Niu Tian smiled, then said seriously, "You know about Dong'er's situation. Be good to her in the future. My second brother and I might be killed by Tang San one day, and she'll have no home left. If she suffers any injustice, she won't know where to complain."
"Don't worry, Uncle Niu, I will definitely not let Dong'er suffer any injustice," Huo Yuhao said firmly, then his tone changed, with a hint of worry, "But Uncle Niu, has Tang San suspected anything about you?"
"No, not at all," Niu Tian shook his head, "Speaking of which, it seems that because of the solar riot back then, it alarmed the other God Kings in the God Realm, causing them to pay too much attention to Douluo Continent. Now, it won't be so easy for Tang San to secretly make a move in Douluo Continent."
Solar riot?
Huo Yuhao's expression changed. When he awakened the Sun God Pillar, didn't it cause a tremor across the entire continent?
Even though all these years have passed and things have long since settled down, people have probably forgotten that incident, but the gods of the God Realm will not forget.
A day above is like a year below; the solar riots in the God Realm had only been happening for a few days.
Niu Tian's seemingly casual words revealed astonishing news.
The other God Kings of the God Realm were now also paying attention to Douluo Continent.
Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered. This meant he would have an extra layer of protection when dealing with the Sea God family in the future.
Seemingly remembering something, Niu Tian continued, "Speaking of which, we used the excuse of Dong'er being targeted by a certain god to conceal it from Tang San. If nothing unexpected happens, he should suspect the God of Destruction. This gives you more time to grow, since the God of Destruction is not easy to deal with. Tang San, being cautious, won't act rashly."
Huo Yuhao's expression turned serious. If Tang San truly suspected the God of Destruction, it would indeed be most advantageous for them. However, the God of Destruction had a sixth brother by his side. Once they learned from the sixth brother that the God of Destruction hadn't made any moves, Tang San might become reckless.
"Uncle Niu, have you considered siding with the God of Destruction?" Huo Yuhao suddenly had an idea.
"To be honest, Dong'er has thought about it after becoming independent." Niu Tian didn't hide anything and said calmly, "Although the God of Destruction is stubborn and self-willed, he is truly good to his own people. When we were in the God Realm, many gods followed him, and that was genuine respect without any pretense."
"Uncle Niu, I may not speak loudly, but I still have to say it. If you have the opportunity, you must join the God of Destruction, preferably secretly. This is not only to seek opportunities for you and Uncle Titan, but also for Dong'er. Of course, I can also avoid a lot of troubles by doing this. If you come into contact with the God of Destruction, I have a secret to tell you." Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Niu Tian glanced thoughtfully at Huo Yuhao. "I can find Tang San and use the excuse of the loosening of the divine power seal within me to return to the God Realm. Then I can go find the God of Destruction. If you know any secrets and trust me, just tell me."
Huo Yuhao and Niu Tian looked at each other. The latter's eyes were calm. After a long while, Huo Yuhao smiled. "The God of Destruction beside the God of Destruction is Tang San's man."
"The God of Destruction?" Niu Tian was taken aback and said solemnly, "You can't say things like that carelessly. Although I'm not familiar with the God of Destruction, I've heard that he's highly valued under the God of Destruction. He's a direct subordinate. Besides, you're in Douluo Continent. How do you know about the God Realm?"
"To be honest, besides asking you to care about Dong'er and the artificial soul ring, I came to find out why you know so many unknown secrets."
Niu Tian's expression was serious.
Huo Yuhao smiled but didn't explain.
After staring at Huo Yuhao for a few seconds, Niu Tian gave up. He said helplessly, "Fine, if you don't want to talk, then don't. But are you sure the God of Destruction is connected to Tang San?" "
Yes," Huo Yuhao nodded. "I'm worried that if Tang San asks the God of Destruction about the God of Destruction's actions, and Tang San finds out that the God of Destruction didn't even touch Dong'er, he might become even more reckless, and that would be troublesome."
Niu Tian was a smart man and quickly understood Huo Yuhao's meaning. He rubbed his forehead in exasperation. "So, it seems I have no choice but to go find the God of Destruction."
Huo Yuhao didn't know how to express himself and could only remain silent.
Niu Tian shook his head and smiled, his eyes becoming deep. He had already made a decision. "It's getting late. I have to go back to the Haotian Sect. Yuhao, remember what I told you."
Without waiting for Huo Yuhao's reply, Niu Tian tore through space and stepped into it, returning to the Haotian Sect.
Watching the space gradually repair itself, Huo Yuhao's mood was no longer calm.
Through his conversation with Niu Tian, Huo Yuhao learned quite a bit. No wonder Tang San didn't immediately descend to the mortal realm to help after Tang Wutong's soul was plundered; it was probably because the other God Kings were watching.
Although Niu Tian could help, he couldn't enter the God Realm and relied entirely on others, which wasn't entirely reassuring.
He only hoped that Tang San could be distracted by the God of Destruction for a few more days, so he could use the opportunity to grow stronger.
Strength, he needed more strength… Clenching his fists, Huo Yuhao murmured to himself, "It's time to work on activating the second star ring."
"Finished chatting?" Just then, the balcony door opened, and Mu En and Qian Duoduo walked in.
"Grandmaster," Huo Yuhao said respectfully.
Niu Tian had just released his soul power to block out sound, so no one outside could hear their conversation.
"How was chatting with your father-in-law?" Qian Duoduo teased.
"Not bad, I've gained quite a bit." Huo Yuhao chuckled, then respectfully asked Mu En, "Grandmaster, have you been in Mingdu all this time?"
Mu En smiled gently, "I've been here since you started the exchange student program in Mingdu."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised. He had thought that Elder Mu was just making a brief appearance in Mingdu, but he hadn't expected to stay for more than half a year.
No wonder Dean Qian had remained so calm; with a Limit Douluo secretly backing him up, he could stay composed.
"News has come from the academy about the far north. I have to go back. Xuanzi will be staying in Mingdu from now on. If anything happens, Duoduo, just ask him." Mu En first handed Huo Yuhao a letter, then spoke to Qian Duoduo.
"Yes," Qian Duoduo replied.
"Yuhao, whatever you want to do, always remember to prioritize your safety," Mu En said meaningfully, making Huo Yuhao, who was holding the envelope in confusion, feel a tightness in his heart.
Perhaps his grandmaster knew something.
His destruction of the evil soul master's stronghold was probably all under Mu En's watchful eye.
Mu En then gave some more instructions before leaving.
After seeing Mu En off, Huo Yuhao and Qian Duoduo returned to the academy, but the academy was still under strict lockdown.
However, the news of the attack on Mingde Hall could no longer be kept secret and began to spread, threatening to shake the entire Douluo Continent.
