Huh? I Carry That Much Weight?

Shui Bing'er stood at the front, followed by Shui Yue'er and the others.

She clearly listened to him; he returned to the Crystal Palace after only two days.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Shui Bing'er immediately turned around and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness!" Shui Bing'er hurried to greet them, "You're finally back!"

"What happened?" Oscar asked as he stepped forward.

Ye Hua shook his head slightly, "It's hard to say, but it's definitely a disaster!"

He laid out the facts about the sarcoma and the infection.

"The situation is serious; the contamination is still spreading. However, I have transferred all the surviving Soul Beast, so the infected beast tide will not grow any larger."

Everyone remained silent.

The residents of Arctic Town looked at each other, their faces filled with fear.

They couldn't believe that such a strange change had occurred on the land where their ancestors had lived for generations!

"Therefore," Ye Hua concluded, "I suggest that everyone immediately head south for refuge!"

"What?!" Veya's father clenched his fists. "Is it that serious?!"

"Yes," Ye Hua nodded, "Arctic Town is right on the edge of the forest. If the disaster gets out of control, it will be the first place to be swallowed up!"

Hote smiled wryly, "My benefactor, I know you mean well."

"But... our family business is all here!"

"If we leave here, we don't even know where we'll go!"

"Uncle Hote," Ye Hua pointed to the forest, "I understand how you feel."

"But you must understand, this problem is unprecedented. It's not a riot of Soul Beast, nor is it the work of Evil Soul Master!"

"We have no experience whatsoever, and our margin for error is extremely low. Staying here will only drag us into deeper danger!"

A murmur of discussion arose from the crowd.

Ye Hua saved their lives, so they trusted him.

Leaving my hometown, not knowing if I'll ever be able to return, is truly hard to accept.

Finally, after discussing the matter, Hote and the others decided that the Soul Master with combat capabilities would stay behind, while the others would flee south.

"Angel God," sighed the bishop of the Spirit Hall Branch, "Please protect your believers!"

This serves as a reminder to Ye Hua that while the Long Night Alliance is full of experts, its numbers are small.

To control a large-scale disaster, we need to notify the Two Great Empires and the Spirit Hall!

Without hesitation, Ye Hua used the Voice Transmitter to tell Tie Xiong to make the contact!

However, just as the townspeople were packing their bags, Oscar nudged Veya.

"Veya, why don't you go south with your parents too?"

"What did you say?" Veya said, hands on her hips. "I'm not leaving!"

"Listen to me," Oscar said seriously, "Your parents are old and need someone to take care of them on the road, and it's too dangerous here."

"My parents aren't old yet," Veya glared. "And have you forgotten who picked you up last time?"

"With my Three-Eyed Icefire Guns, I can drive away dozens of Snow Monster!"

Oscar was speechless, his lips moving, but he couldn't win the argument after a long while.

In the end, they could only nod helplessly and agree to let Veya stay.

"But stay close to me and don't stray too far."

"Otherwise, if you're in danger, I won't have time to protect you!"

"Tch," Veya turned her head, "That's what I should be saying!"

"You shouldn't have left me, otherwise you would have gotten carried away with your emotions and charged into the enemy ranks, almost getting yourself killed!"

Watching this scene, Shui Yue'er nudged her sister's arm and asked, "Sister, are they...?"

Shui Bing'er put her hand to her forehead, "Yue'er, don't talk nonsense."

"I wasn't making this up," Shui Yue'er stuck out her tongue, "But Oscar's a bit dim-witted, he probably didn't notice."

Shui Bing'er didn't reply, but stepped forward a few paces. "Teacher Ye, I also want to stay."

Ye Hua raised an eyebrow. "But you're only here to acquire Soul Spirit; you have no obligation to stay."

Shui Bing'er's gaze remained calm, "But this is not a matter for Arctic Town!"

"Those tumors can pollute Soul Beast and assimilate the land; they are a catastrophe for the entire continent!"

"I am Soul Emperor, after all. I have the ability to help, and there is no reason for me to stand aside!"

"I'll stay too!" Shui Yue'er hugged her sister's arm. "Wherever you are, I'll be there!"

"You're being ridiculous!" Shui Bing'er slapped her hand away.

"Don't you dare send me away!" Shui Yue'er pouted. "Otherwise, I'll sneak back!"

Shui Bing'er sighed helplessly, "Then you have to be obedient."

Seeing their resolute attitude, Ye Hua didn't try to persuade them further.

He simply nodded and silently arranged the defenses.

"Tie Xiong, get the Long Night Alliance here as soon as possible!"

"The Soul Saint will not participate in the war; he will remain to guard the factory and territory!"

"Yes, sir!"

In just three days.

Outside Arctic Town, on the once barren snowfield, three imposing military camps rose from the ground.

Banners fluttered, Soul Power flowed, and the smell of gunpowder and armor filled the air in the cold wind.

The Two Great Empires army camps were clearly separated.

The Heaven Dou Empire is based on sky blue and silver white.

The Star Luo Empire was decorated with deep purple and gilded colors.

Two Great Empires were showing great sincerity, with their Crown Prince princes leading the troops!

The temporary command post in Arctic Town is a gathering of brilliant generals!

The figure on the left, clad in silver armor and tall and slender, stood with his hands behind his back—it was [Xue Qinghe].

On the right, naturally, were the generals and commanders of the Star Luo Empire, led by Dai Weisi.

[Xue Qinghe] saw Ye Hua from afar and waved, "Brother Hua, this letter of yours really scared my father."

"Strange activity in the Far North Forest, tumor contamination, out-of-control beast tides... He urgently summoned my generals, ordering me to personally lead the elite troops here."

Seeing that she looked travel-worn, Ye Hua said, "Brother Xue, you've had a long journey."

"It's not hard work," Qian Renxue said with a subtle look in her eyes, "But I didn't expect that even the Great Enshrined of the Spirit Hall would personally come!"

Ye Hua followed her gaze and saw an old man with his hands behind his back in the corner of the command post.

His golden robes were billowing, his white hair was as white as snow, and his face was old, but his eyes were bright.

It was none other than Qian Daoliu, the Great Enshrined of the Spirit Hall, Level 99 Limit Douluo Qian Daoliu!

There were no Elder or Red Cardinal by his side, only him!

But just his mere presence alone was enough to diminish the sense of solemnity and purity!

Tie Xiong suddenly appeared beside him, and he became secretly on guard!

Qian Daoliu sensed the hostility, but instead of being annoyed, he chuckled, "Why must friends act like this?"

His tone was even joking, "Now we are comrades-in-arms fighting side by side, not enemies."

"If we're on the verge of conflict, wouldn't we just make ourselves a laughingstock for the younger generation?"

Tie Xiong did not sheath his sword, but merely glanced sideways at Ye Hua.

Ye Hua nodded gently.

Tie Xiong sheathed his sword and disappeared back into the shadows.

Qian Daoliu watched him Concealment, then slowly shook his head. "There are only a handful of Ultimate Douluo in this world. I originally thought that only those two could stand on equal footing with me."

"I never expected that there was someone hidden by the Night Alliance Leader's side!"

"I never expected that your Long Night Alliance would send out its highest-ranking members, did you?"

"Seven Titled Douluo and twenty Soul Douluo, all devoted themselves wholeheartedly, truly exemplary figures of the righteous path!"

Ye Hua remained calm, "Great Enshrined, you flatter me. The presence of the Spirit Hall's strongest warrior is a great honor."

He truly hadn't expected that this Ultimate Douluo would personally come to the front lines; he had only anticipated that Chrysanthemum-Ghost Douluo would make the trip.

So, I have quite a lot of influence!

Qian Daoliu smiled upon hearing this, winked at Qian Renxue, and said nothing more.

Qian Renxue's eyes flickered, and she pursed her lips.

Just then, a hearty laugh came from the side.

"Night Alliance Leader! With this message from you, I can muster my troops overnight and rush here in three days and three nights!"

"Don't just talk to your seniors and ignore me!"

Dai Weisi strode over, interrupting their mutual flattery.

"Those Soul Guidance Weapon of yours are truly excellent!"

"The military strength of my Star Luo Empire has increased several times in just two years!"

"This crisis is a perfect opportunity to test our skills!"

"Brother Dai," Ye Hua said solemnly, "Do not underestimate our enemy."

"This time, the enemy isn't afraid of death. They won't stop until they're blasted to pieces!"

"Soul Guidance Weapon are indeed useful, but it's crucial to keep the soldiers at a distance and prevent them from engaging in melee combat!"

"I'll listen to you."

The words had barely left his mouth--

Boom!!!

The snow line exploded in the distance!

Snow and frozen soil shot into the sky, accompanied by bits of purple flesh!

"Enemy attack--!!!"
