Yo-Yo looked a little embarrassed at the moment. His simple blue cloth had several holes, revealing the dark skin with metallic luster underneath, and there were a few light white marks on his bald head. In his hand, he was holding up the purple piece with the complicated Annihilation Rune inscribed on it - Annihilation Decomposition Ray!
The purple Soul Tool tip was facing the Soul Douluo elder, exuding a heart-stopping death wave.
"You... who are you?! Why are you fighting to the death with me, Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?!" Elder Soul Douluo's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were full of grief, anger and confusion.
The sect leader Ning Deyang took most of the sect's elites to the front line. As a result, bad news came. Two guardians, Super Douluo, died. The sect leader's life and death were unknown. The sect was attacked by unknown strong men one after another. Will even the mountain gate be breached now?
Yo-Yo scratched the back of his bare head and said angrily, with a tone of helplessness that said, "I don't want to do this either." "Well... our boss said, Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, if you don't want to wipe out the family, just do as you said before."
The elder's expression changed constantly, and eventually turned into endless bitterness and despair. He looked at the Soul Tool in Yo-Yo's hand that exuded the aura of destruction, then looked at the broken palace door behind him, as well as the desperate disciples in the square, and slowly closed his eyes.
"... I... we... promise." These few words seemed to drain all his strength.
Hearing this, Yo-Yo seemed to be relieved and quickly put down Annihilation Decomposition Ray: "That's good! Remember, quietly!" He warned, then turned around awkwardly, took long strides, and ran rumbled towards the outside of the mountain gate, quickly disappearing into the night and ruins.
The remaining people who left behind the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, in despair and humiliation, began to think about how to "quietly" implement the "instruction" from the abyss that was enough to cause the Heaven Dou Empire earthquake.
Shrek Allied Forces medical area, Ye Shuhua's exclusive quiet tent.
Under the soft light, the air was filled with the fresh aroma of herbs, which was in sharp contrast to the faint smell of gunpowder smoke and blood coming from the battlefield outside.
Ye Shuhua has just completed the final treatment for a seriously injured Soul Saint. He is gently wiping the sweat from his forehead. His face is tired, but his eyes are still gentle and firm.
Suddenly, her wiping movements paused slightly.
A powerful wave of Soul Power that deliberately contained most of its aura appeared outside her tent like a pebble thrown into a calm lake.
This aura was very unfamiliar, not the Titled Douluo that anyone in the coalition was familiar with, and... it contained an inhuman coldness and depth that made her soul instinctively wary.
Ye Shuhua's heart sank slightly. The battle was raging on the front line, and Dean Feng Yun personally led the team to attack. At this time, such a powerful strange existence quietly sneaked into the hinterland of the medical area...
She calmed down, put down the towel in her hand, walked slowly to the tent door, and gently opened the curtain.
Outside the tent, the moonlight shone, reflecting a figure standing quietly, wearing an inconspicuous gray robe. The shadow of the hood obscured his face, but his ice-blue eyes, which looked particularly deep in the moonlight, were watching her calmly.
"Ye Shuhua," Kraken's voice sounded, calm and calm, as if an old friend was visiting, "Excuse me late at night, can you... have a chat?"
Ye Shuhua felt a chill in her heart. The other party knew her name, and her tone was calm but with a hint of refusal. She quickly assessed the situation: the other party was able to avoid all the sentries on the periphery and reach here, and his strength was unfathomable. Although she was Titled Douluo, she was not good at fighting in the healing department, and her daughter Xuanxuan was still resting not far away... It was definitely not a wise move to fight head-on.
She took a slight breath, stepped aside, and kept her voice calm. "Please come in."
If the other party is willing to "talk", there is still room for change. If she rashly shouts or resists and angers the other party, the consequences will be disastrous. She even has a vague feeling that the other party does not seem to have immediate killing intention, but more like he has some purpose.
Kraken nodded slightly and walked slowly into the tent. His eyes swept over the simple but complete medical facilities in the tent, and finally fell on Ye Shuhua. There seemed to be a strange look in his ice blue eyes.
The two of them were silent for a moment, and the atmosphere in the tent was a bit stagnant.
Finally, Kraken broke the silence. His voice was still calm, but he threw a question that made Ye Shuhua's pupils shrink instantly:
"I really didn't expect it?" he said, his eyes seemed to be able to see a hidden existence deeper in the Penetration tent, "Angel Martial Soul... was actually taken in by you Ye Family."
Ye Shuhua's body trembled almost imperceptibly, but his face tried hard to remain calm. "What... what do you want to say?"
"It's nothing." Kraken took a step forward. The invisible pressure made Ye Shuhua's breath slightly suffocated. "I just suddenly thought that right now, Heaven Dou, The three major empires of the Star Luo Empire and Sun Moon, plus Shrek Academy, almost all the high-level Titled Douluo combat power were... exhausted in this war.
You said, those Evil Soul Masters who have been ready to move and are suppressed in every corner, what will happen next?"
Ye Shuhua's complexion finally changed completely. It's not that she hadn't thought about this problem, but she had been preoccupied with the tragedy on the front line and the urgent task of treating the injured. At this moment, when this mysterious man in gray robe pointed it out, an icy chill instantly shot up from the soles of her feet to the top of her head!
The mainland's top power is in a vacuum! Evil Soul Master... will surely be like a hungry wolf breaking free from its cage, making a mad counterattack and wreaking havoc in all directions! By then, all life will be devastated and order will collapse, which is far more terrifying than the war between the two empires!
And their Nine Heart Begonia lineage, as the top healers, will surely bear the brunt and become the best "material" to supplement the life essence in Evil Soul Master's eyes, or Refining's evil Soul Tool!
"You mean..." Ye Shuhua's voice was dry.
Kraken's ice blue eyes looked directly at her, as if he could see through her deepest fears and struggles. He asked slowly, word by word:
"Angel Martial Soul... has been silent for so long, burdened with original sin and pursuit, hiding under the protection of you Ye Family. Now, the continent is about to collapse, evil spirits are raging, and the light is dim..."
He paused slightly, and his tone was almost seductively cold:
"You said, can it... be able to 'come back'?"
"With your Nine Heart Begonia's medical skills, with the contacts and resources Ye Family has accumulated, and more importantly... with the sacred light that is enough to restrain even Purification's evil spirits, in the darkness, re-establish... order and ignite Core Flame?"
Ye Shuhua As if struck by lightning, she staggered back and held on to the medical table next to her before barely standing still. Her face turned pale, her chest heaved violently, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind.
Angel Martial Soul returns? In troubled times when the power of the three major empires and Shrek is in a vacuum, and Evil Soul Master is bound to rise? What does this mean? It means that Ye Family will no longer just heal the family, but may become the core of an emerging force!
This means that the secrets and burdens that have been hidden in the deepest part of the family will be completely revealed! It means that... they will face the darkest power in the entire continent, and also have the opportunity to... reshape the future!
But this opportunity was given by this mysterious, powerful man in gray robe, whose aura was as unpredictable as the abyss. What did he want? Just to disrupt the mainland and watch the show? Or... had other intentions?
"Who... are you? What do you want from us?" Ye Shuhua forced himself to calm down and locked his eyes tightly on Kraken.
Kraken did not answer directly, but said calmly, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is the choice. To be silently annihilated in the coming wave of evil souls and become a source of cultivation for others; or... seize the opportunity, let the sacred light reappear, and win a different future in this ruins."
"As for the price..." A faint light flickered in the depths of his ice-blue eyes, "When I need to 'treat' some special 'injuries', or when I need that 'sacred light' to illuminate certain... particularly 'dark' corners, you need to provide 'help'. It's fair, isn't it?"
He threw the choice back to Ye Shuhua. Should he just sit back and follow the crowd, and might he eventually fall prey to Evil Soul Master?
Or should we seize this opportunity, which may be a life-saving straw or a more poisonous rope, risk everything, and strive for a future for Nine Heart Begonia and Angel Bloodline that may be full of thorns but also has infinite possibilities in this troubled world with a vacuum of power and strength?
Inside the tent, a deathly silence fell. Only the soft light of Soul Guidance Lamp reflected Ye Shuhua's pale and struggling face, and the heart-stoppingly calm ice blue eyes of Kraken under the hood.
