Catching Turtles in a Jar! We've Been Waiting for You to Jump Out!

This sudden turn of events abruptly silenced the previously enthusiastic atmosphere at the scene.

Everyone involuntarily looked up at Xuan Zi and Zhongli Wu standing in the sky.

They knew these two people: one was the number two figure at the Shrek Academy, and the other was the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Combined with what Xuan Zi had just said, they instantly realized that these two were planning to stir up trouble right after the Soul Master Competition had ended.

Do you really want to kill Huo Yuhao, this peerless genius, at such a crucial moment?

The Emperor and Crown Prince Xu Tianran of the Sun Moon Empire, watching from the stands, instantly turned cold.

"Court death!"

The Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire gave a wink to Jing Hongchen and Ye Yulin below. Without hesitation, the two appeared on the arena and stood in front of Huo Yuhao.

Jing Hongchen looked at Xuan Zi above her head, her killing intent burning fiercely, but she still pretended to speak.

"Xuan Zi, are you drunk? At such a crucial moment, I don't want to see any chaos in Mingdu!"

"If there's nothing else, come down!"

Ye Yulin looked at Zhongli Wu and said, word by word.

"Zhongli Wu, are you declaring war on our Sun Moon Empire on behalf of the Holy Spirit Cult?"

Upon hearing this, Zhongli Wu's eyes flickered slightly, and he chuckled softly.

"What? Are you threatening me? Don't you know that our Holy Spirit Cult never accepts any threats from anyone?"

Zhongli Wu was filled with disdain. It was always the Evil Soul Master of their Holy Spirit Cult who threatened others. When did it become someone else's turn to threaten them?

Furthermore, from the moment he and Xuan Zi stood up, Zhongli Wu had already made up his mind that no matter what the cost, he had to nip Huo Yuhao, this peerless genius with a bright future, in the bud.

Given their attitude towards the Holy Spirit Cult, once the Sun Moon Empire becomes truly powerful enough to unify the continent, it is absolutely impossible for them to give the Holy Spirit Cult any space to survive.

Rather than waiting to die, Zhongli Wu clearly hoped to carve out his own path through sheer strength.

Ye Yulin was furious upon hearing this, staring intently at Zhongli Wu, wishing she could kill this damned Evil Soul Master.

However, he also knew that if he were to start a battle with his opponent at the Soul Master Competition venue, there was a very high chance of resulting in extremely heavy casualties.

The audience watching the final below, apart from the academies and sects participating in the competition, were all citizens of the Sun Moon Empire.

If possible, neither the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, nor Jing Hongchen and Ye Yulin would want the battlefield to be here.

Unfortunately, the reason Xuan Zi and Zhongli Wu chose to step forward at this time was because they knew the other party would hesitate to act rashly, and of course they wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.

In Xuan Zi's heart, there was a list of people he hated, and Jing Hongchen was clearly at the top of the list.

Looking down at Jing Hongchen, Xuan Zi could no longer conceal his killing intent. The terrifying aura of a level 98 Super Douluo suddenly erupted from his body, enveloping the entire arena.

Accompanying this was Xuan Zi's roar, filled with boundless rage and hatred.

"Old Toad, be prepared to die by my hand!"

As Xuan Zi finished speaking, the Holy Spirit Cult elders, who had been lying in ambush, began to move.

These Titled Douluo belonging to the Holy Spirit Cult were not targeting Huo Yuhao, but rather the Emperor and Crown Prince Xu Tianran of the Sun Moon Empire, who were sitting in the audience.

This was clearly a plan that Zhongli Wu had already made long ago.

Zhongli Wu knew very well that if he could kill the Sun Moon Empire's emperor and Xu Tianran here, it would definitely cause turmoil in the Sun Moon Empire.

Even if they fail, they can still muddy the waters and give them a higher chance of killing Huo Yuhao, this peerless genius.

To avoid any accidents, and to prevent the Sun Moon Empire from having time to gather its powerful warriors.

As soon as these Titled Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult appeared, they rushed directly towards the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire and Xu Tianran.

However, to Zhongli Wu's surprise, neither the emperor nor Xu Tianran panicked in the face of the Holy Spirit Cult elders' offensive.

The emperor of the Sun Moon Empire suddenly stood up, staring coldly at these Evil Soul Master, and shouted.

"Kill these wicked Evil Soul Master and rid the continent of this menace!"

Upon hearing the emperor's words, the Rank Nine Soul Engineer who had been lying in ambush rose up and blocked these guys.

Meanwhile, in order to prevent the battle between these powerful figures from affecting the civilians below, several Rank Nine Soul Engineer used their Soul Tool to separate the battlefield from the audience.

Seeing this, Zhongli Wu's face darkened, and his mood became very heavy.

He suddenly realized that the Sun Moon Empire might have already made preparations.

Otherwise, how could these guys not be flustered at all when faced with their sudden attack?

And that has indeed proven to be true.

After learning about Xuan Zi and Zhongli Wu's plan, Huo Yuhao told Xu Tianran about it.

Although Xuan Zi's madness was somewhat unexpected by Xu Tianran, Xu Tianran calmed down after a brief moment of astonishment.

Xu Tianran knew very well that with the Sun Moon Empire's current overall strength, once it began its march to unify the continent, the Yuan Douluo Three Kingdoms would be absolutely unable to resist it.

If the goal is to prevent the Sun Moon Empire from starting a war, then instigating unrest in Mingdu during the Soul Master Competition would be the best opportunity.

Without making a sound, Xu Tianran and the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire had already made all the preparations.

We're just waiting for these two guys to jump out right after the Soul Master Competition ends.

Xuan Zi is now representing Shrek Academy in a collaboration with the Holy Spirit Cult.

This revealed their determination to cause chaos in Mingdu.

Even if they were killed in full view of everyone, no one would feel sorry for Xuan Zi.

This might even lead people to suspect that Shrek Academy has long been colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult!

The trend of unification of the Sun Moon Empire is unstoppable.

This situation caught both Xuan Zi and Zhongli Wu somewhat off guard.

The two exchanged a glance, and Xuan Zi gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"Didn't you say it was foolproof? Why did this happen?"

Zhongli Wu was even more furious than Xuan Zi. He even felt that Xuan Zi had betrayed him, otherwise how could things have turned out this way?

But now the arrow is on the bowstring, and there's no turning back.

From the moment he and Xuan Zi stood up and said they would kill Huo Yuhao, there was no turning back for them.

Thinking of this, Zhongli Wu took a deep breath and said firmly.

"Stop talking nonsense! Let's do it now, even if it costs us everything, we must kill Huo Yuhao!"
