Di Tian Faces Shrek Academy
Di Tian did not descend in person across space, but the passage he constructed using his Reverse Scale as a spatial anchor was enough for his gaze to penetrate the vast distance and clearly see every movement on Huo Yuhao's side.
Seeing Long Xiaoyao's all-out attack and Huo Yuhao standing calmly behind the Reverse Scale, he couldn't help but curse inwardly that this kid was really good at causing trouble, going head-to-head with the Limit Douluo.
However, remembering his Lord's instructions, Di Tian could not ignore this matter.
His voice echoed through the spatial rift, "I am Di Tian. If you know what's good for you, retreat. You can't harm this brat today."
Given Di Tian's personality, he naturally wouldn't bother hiding his identity.
He acts decisively when he needs to act, and speaks frankly when he needs to speak, never hiding anything.
Upon hearing this answer, Long Xiaoyao was initially startled, but then found it reasonable.
The Soul Spirit System of the Spirit Pagoda was originally built upon the Soul Beast resources of the Star Dou Great Forest. When the Spirit Pagoda was first opened, Di Tian personally appeared, indicating that he had a close relationship with the Spirit Pagoda.
It's not entirely unreasonable for Di Tian to intervene on Huo Yuhao's behalf at this moment.
Long Xiaoyao fell silent. He hovered in mid-air, staring intently at Huo Yuhao, as if weighing something in his mind.
After a moment, he spoke, "Kid, you can go now."
He never intended to kill Huo Yuhao. His visit was merely a formality at the request of the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Empire for their cooperation.
The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King has a natural advantage over him in terms of bloodline and Dark Attribute, so even if he goes all out, he has no chance of winning.
After all, that was the Beast God Di Tian, a being standing at the pinnacle of the Soul Beast Realm.
Huo Yuhao smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Then thank you very much, Senior Dragon Emperor, for showing mercy."
After saying that, he raised his hand and put the Di Tian's Reverse Scale back into his brow. The spatial rift in front of him slowly closed, as if it had never existed.
He wasn't worried that Long Xiaoyao would take the opportunity to attack. According to historical records from ten thousand years later, although Long Xiaoyao had joined the Holy Spirit Cult, he still had some sense of shame and wouldn't easily break his promise and launch a sneak attack.
With a flap of his wings, Huo Yuhao rose into the air, transforming into a dark silver streak of light that shot into the sky, quickly merging into the night and disappearing at the horizon.
He silently added in his heart, "Perhaps when we meet again, Di Tian won't need to take action."
After flying in the predetermined direction for a while, Huo Yuhao stopped.
A palm-sized circular screen had appeared in his hand without his noticing. Its surface glowed with a faint blue light, and several moving dots were clearly displayed on it.
This was a tracking Soul Tool he had prepared long ago; the glowing dots on it clearly indicated the location of the Spirit Pagoda members who had left earlier.
He glanced down at the location of the dots of light on the screen, and his brow twitched slightly.
According to his previously planned retreat route, they should have headed north, but the light spot displayed on the screen was clearly biased to the west.
Could something have gone wrong along the way?
Without much hesitation, Huo Yuhao immediately changed direction and sped off westward.
The night wind whistled past my ears, and the city of Ming Capital beneath my feet was gradually left behind, replaced by the undulating outlines of dark green mountains under the moonlight.
Wang Dong'er and the others were all equipped with Flying Soul Tool. Although it was only a short while, at their full speed, they had already rushed out of the Ming Capital area.
As Huo Yuhao chased after them, he sensed the presence ahead. As the distance between them gradually closed, he roughly understood what was going on.
He had already sensed the Soul Power fluctuations of many powerful individuals, clearly those of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Engineer and the Holy Spirit Cult members who were searching for and pursuing him.
The members of the Spirit Pagoda must have encountered these pursuers after evacuating Ming Capital, and had to temporarily change their route, detouring westward to avoid them.
When Huo Yuhao caught up with the group from the Spirit Pagoda, they had landed in a mountain forest and had stopped flying.
Dozens of figures were scattered among the trees, each concealing their presence.
The moment they sensed someone approaching, everyone immediately became alert.
But when they saw that the person who came was Huo Yuhao, the suddenly tense atmosphere relaxed as if a bowstring had been released.
Wang Dong'er was the first to walk over quickly. She looked Huo Yuhao up and down, and only after confirming that he was not injured did she finally let out a sigh of relief, and her eyes softened.
The others were more shocked than anything else. The one who had just appeared was Limit Douluo! They were still holding their breath for Huo Yuhao as they retreated.
Seeing Huo Yuhao return unharmed, everyone felt even greater awe and admiration for this young Tower Master.
Huo Yuhao first glanced at the Spirit Pagoda and the people from the Star Luo Imperial Soul Master Academy, then his gaze passed over them and landed on another group of people gathered not far away.
There was another group of people there, and he recognized every single one of their faces; they were from the Shrek Academy.
The Spirit Pagoda group had originally been retreating north along the planned route, but they ran into the Shrek Academy's retreating group midway.
Because the Shrek Seven Devils were always followed by powerful figures of the Sun Moon Empire realms, Jin Li was forced to change direction and lead everyone to the western mountains to hide.
Xuan Zi was walking over from Shrek, his rugged face still bearing the lingering chill of the battle.
He stopped in front of Huo Yuhao and said, "If the Spirit Pagoda is willing to help, and your teacher can intervene, this assassination mission should not fail."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was rolling his eyes to the heavens.
He really couldn't understand how Xuan Zi had the nerve to say these things to him right away.
If it weren't for the Shrek Devils attracting the pursuit of powerful figures from the Sun Moon Empire Sects, the Spirit Pagoda members might have already safely evacuated along their planned route.
Moreover, in Xuan Zi's mind, it seems that he still regards Huo Yuhao as a student of Shrek, as if he can be ordered around at will.
So Huo Yuhao couldn't help but retort calmly, "Xuan Zi, Shrek Academy is, after all, just an academy. Since it has always claimed not to interfere in the affairs of the continent, it's best not to get involved in something like assassinating a crown prince."
These words weren't harsh, but Xuan Zi frowned upon hearing them, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
A hint of anger appeared on his rugged face, and he opened his mouth as if to reprimand someone.
He is of high seniority, has extensive experience, and is very capable; he is always very blunt in his speech.
But as the words were about to come out, the scene of the two phoenixes soaring through the Sea God Island involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
With the Limit Douluo standing behind Huo Yuhao, he had to be more careful with his words and actions.
So the words that Xuan Zi was about to say lingered on his tongue, but he swallowed them back down.
He simply grunted with a sullen face and said nothing more.
The Limit Douluo is still someone you can't afford to mess with!
