The Enemy General Is Our Undercover Agent

The Dawn Society's base in Tianyuan City is hidden deep within a desolate canyon. From the outside, it looks like an abandoned ancient mine, with rusty iron gates and collapsed walls perfectly concealing the modern facilities inside. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the mottled metal exterior walls, reflecting a dark red light.

Normally this place is very quiet, but today the air is thick with a suffocating tension.

"Reporting, Captain! The Soul Guidance Cannon of the Third Mecha Squad has completed charging!"

"Fourth Mecha Squad, move into your designated attack positions!"

"Radar reconnaissance shows that the southeastern side of the base is the weakest point in its defenses!"

Reports from various units kept coming through the communication channel. Xu Lingfeng, the captain of the Tianyuan City Soul Guidance Brigade, stood on the shoulder of Black Level Mecha, his black military overcoat fluttering in the canyon wind. He narrowed his eyes, looking at the seemingly dilapidated mine, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"The Dawn Society... do you really think this disguise can fool our eyes? Before, it was only because His Majesty and the Speaker hadn't made up their minds; now your death is nigh!"

He raised his right hand and swung it down sharply. "All troops—attack!"

In an instant, hundreds of blinding lights lit up the mountain ridges on both sides of the canyon. Soul Cannon Shell fired simultaneously, and densely packed soul-guided rays poured down like a torrential rain, drawing magnificent arcs of death in the air.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Amidst the deafening explosion, a translucent blue barrier illuminated the perimeter of the base. Soul Cannon Shell detonated on the barrier, creating countless energy ripples, and the shockwaves shattered the surrounding rocks.

Xu Lingfeng coldly ordered, "Pass on the order! Concentrate firepower on coordinate point H-7!"

As the order was given, a special Mecha unit charged out from the formation. These Mecha were equipped with giant soul-guided city-destroying cannons on their backs, the muzzles flashing with dangerous energy.

"Target locked, volley fire!"

Three blinding white beams ripped through the Chang Kong, striking the same point on the barrier with pinpoint accuracy. Under the continuous bombardment, the blue barrier finally shattered under the strain, dissipating into countless points of light.

"The barrier has been breached! Charge!" With Xu Lingfeng's command, dozens of Mecha simultaneously activated their thrusters, and a steel torrent stirred up clouds of dust in the canyon.

Just then, the base's rusty iron gate suddenly burst open.

Just as the Mecha Legion was about to storm into the base, the rusty iron gate suddenly exploded open, and more than a dozen Mecha and dozens of Soul Masters rushed out, but they were quickly suppressed by the Star Luo Empire's forces.

Xu Lingfeng watched this scene with satisfaction, a slight smile playing on his lips. He turned to look at Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena standing not far away, his tone tinged with smugness. "It seems the Dawn Society base here is nothing special. You two have made a wasted trip."

His gaze lingered on the two of them for a moment, a barely perceptible hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.

In the encirclement and suppression plan, the main force was naturally the Star Luo Empire army. The strongmen of the Douluo Federation were only used as a deterrent and insurance to prevent the Evil Spirit Master from hiding combat power beyond expectations and to ensure that nothing went wrong.

But in Xu Lingfeng's view, putting aside the Holy Spirit Cult behind the Dawn Society, there was no need to be so cautious when dealing with the Dawn Society. They were just a bunch of rats in the gutter. If the higher-ups hadn't been too busy dealing with them, they would have been wiped out long ago.

The Dawn Society base in front of us doesn't seem to have much strength. If we were to ask the Soul Masters of the Douluo Federation to take action, not only would the military lose face, but the council would also question his abilities. We can't give these two the opportunity to make a move.

"Being able to see the military strength of the Star Luo Empire makes this trip worthwhile."

Huo Yuhao made a casual, polite remark, when the Soul Guidance Screen in his arms suddenly rang.

Huo Yuhao looked down at the Soul Guidance Screen, his brows suddenly furrowing. Gu Yuena noticed something was wrong and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"..."

Huo Yuhao remained silent for a moment, then transmitted his voice with a strange expression:

"There's Undercover Agent on the other side who's been turned by Soul Spirit Reaver."

Gu Yuena was taken aback; knowing the inside story as well, she didn't know how to react.

The Soul Spirit sold to the Star Luo Empire vary depending on the circumstances. Some are simply involved in smuggling, while others are "Undercover Agent" planted in the Star Luo Empire.

Given the lack of large gathering places for Soul Beast in the Star Luo Empire, the demand for Soul Spirit among spirit masters here is very high, and smuggling Soul Spirit will naturally become a huge market.

Some people want to use this to help Star Luo Empire become stronger, some want to gain benefits and harvest the Specialty Product resources of the Star Luo Continent, and some even want to use this to win over the soul master families on the Star Luo Empire's side.

Under such circumstances, it's likely that some people within the Spirit Pagoda are involved in Soul Spirit smuggling. Some of the higher-ups in the Spirit Pagoda simply decided to play along and secretly make arrangements.

Want Soul Spirit? Sure, we'll add some sand for you.

In other words, some of the Soul Spirit were actually infiltrating the Star Luo Federation as undercover agents.

After a moment of silence, Gu Yuena frowned and said, "Could this be a scheme by the Star Luo Empire?"

Compared to humans, Soul Spirit are relatively simple and their actions are easily restricted, making it somewhat difficult for them to act Undercover Agent. Fortunately, Soul Spirit also have their own advantages.

They have ample time to observe and find trustworthy people, and they can also subtly influence contractors in various ways to achieve a defection effect.

However, even if the chosen Soul Spirit are all highly intelligent and clever, there's no guarantee that problems won't arise after they've stayed in a place as far from the inland as Star Luo Empire for many years. After all, the current state of the Star Luo Empire is truly worrying. That's why Gu Yuena asked this question.

Huo Yuhao glanced at the battlefield and shook his head slightly. "The opponent only made his choice at the last moment, so he must have struggled with it. Let's see what he plans to do."

Those Soul Spirit naturally didn't know his contact number, but they knew the emergency communication methods inside the Spirit Pagoda and could transmit information through special channels.

After saying that, Huo Yuhao immediately began contacting the Dawn Society members who were being besieged, right in front of the Star Luo Empire.

Xu Lingfeng saw that Huo Yuhao "wasting his time on frivolous pursuits" but didn't say anything. It was good that he didn't participate; then the credit would be his.

But at that moment, he suddenly heard an urgent report coming through the Communicator:

"Captain, an abnormal energy reaction has been detected inside the base! Detection... detection of at least a level seven Fixed Soul Cannon Shell activation signal!"

"What?!"

Xu Lingfeng's expression changed drastically, and he immediately ordered, "Everyone retreat!"

Whether in the Douluo Continent or Star Luo Continent, Fixed Soul Cannon Shell are strictly controlled and belong to military equipment that is prohibited from circulation. Only authorized military agencies can possess and use them, and no private individual may own or trade such weapons.

Because their power is truly terrifying.

The power of a level 7 Fixed Soul Cannon Shell is equivalent to the attack of Titled Douluo, and the explosion radius reaches a diameter of more than a kilometer. If you are in the core area of the explosion, apart from Three-Word Battle Armor Master and Titled Douluo or above, there is basically no chance of survival.

If his Mecha Brigade suffers heavy losses, he won't even be able to keep his current position, let alone receive an award.

However, he's worrying too soon; he should be worrying about himself.

A blinding white light erupted from the depths of the Dawn Society base, and a shell hurtled toward his location!

Xu Lingfeng's pupils contracted sharply, and the shadow of death instantly enveloped his entire body.

To prevent the Dawn Society members from fleeing upon learning the news, the army was mobilized from the nearest location. While their Mecha unit in Tianyuan City might not be weak, it wasn't among the top-tier units in the entire Star Luo Federation, lacking Red Level Mecha Master.

As a Soul Douluo and Black Level Mecha pilot, he felt that he probably couldn't withstand a Level 7 Fixed Soul Cannon Shell.

Just as the Soul Cannon Shell was getting closer and closer and about to explode, at this critical moment, a dazzling silver light suddenly lit up the sky and earth.

Gu Yuena stood in mid-air, her slender, jade-like fingers lightly touching the ground.

The space in front of the cannonball suddenly twisted and folded, forming a silver light curtain that stretched across the sky. The level 7 Fixed Soul Cannon Shell crashed into the light curtain, its speed decreasing sharply as if it were sinking into quagmire, and its energy that was about to be released was also restricted.

Gu Yuena's robes fluttered, her silver dress billowing in the energy storm. Her exquisite face showed no sign of panic, but rather an air of haughty disdain for all living beings. Her slender fingertips gleamed with silver light, tracing a graceful arc in the air.

"Transfer."

Two simple words, yet they sent tremors through the entire space.

The cannonball, which was about half a person tall, suddenly disappeared in mid-air, followed by a violent energy fluctuation in the distance.

"Boom--"

A beam of energy, over a kilometer in diameter, shot into the sky, tearing a huge hole in the clouds above the canyon. The shockwave swept in like a tsunami, causing the entire canyon to tremble and knocking many Mecha to the ground.

Xu Lingfeng stood frozen in place, his back soaked in cold sweat. He was both relieved to be alive and horrified by what he was seeing.

He had heard of Huo Yuhao's strength, but he had never heard of the girl beside him possessing such power. Now, seeing Gu Yuena easily transfer the level-seven Fixed Soul Cannon Shell, he was naturally shocked.

I originally thought Huo Yuhao was the main fighting force sent by the Douluo Federation, but I never expected that this silver-haired girl's strength was also so unfathomable!

"Thank you for saving my life."

Xu Lingfeng thanked Gu Yuena, but she ignored him, blocked the cannonball, and walked to Huo Yuhao's side with a cold expression.

Xu Lingfeng didn't seem to care about this.

The strong have the privilege of being proud.

Xu Lingfeng calmed himself down, looked at the battlefield, and was about to continue giving orders when another urgent alarm sounded through the Communicator—

"Report to the captain: High-intensity Soul Power fluctuations detected! There's an energy reaction at the level of Titled Douluo within the base!"

Xu Lingfeng's pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately looked up in the direction of the Dawn Society's base.

Suddenly, a Black Level Mecha appeared on the battlefield where they had the upper hand. Two giant hammers were wielded by it with great force, boosting the morale of the Dawn Society, which had been slightly losing momentum.

However, he wasn't focused on the Black Level Mecha. With his experience, he could easily tell that the pilot of the Black Level Mecha was just a Soul Emperor, no match for him. What he was focused on was the gate to the Dawn Society base that had been opened behind him.

There, a red Mecha slowly emerged.

With both level-seven Fixed Soul Cannon Shell and Titled Douluo experts, this Dawn Society base was far more complex than he had imagined.

The red Mecha raised its arm, and a dark red beam of light shot out, instantly vaporizing the three Star Luo Empire Mecha!

Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Xu Lingfeng immediately turned to Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena, "You two, please lend a hand! This Evil Spirit Master's strength far exceeds our expectations; we may not be able to withstand him!"

His voice carried a hint of urgency, clearly indicating that the Star Luo Empire Army alone was simply no match for this Red Level Mecha and the Titled Douluo within.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao had already turned his gaze away from the Soul Guidance Screen, his eyes calmly fixed on the Red Level Mecha. "Captain Xu, have your men retreat. Leave it to us."

Gu Yuena stepped forward, her entire body covered in magnificent silver-white Battle Armor, and six Soul Ring lit up in succession beneath her feet—purple, purple, black, black, black, and red!

The moment that eerie Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring appeared, the entire battlefield fell silent.

Feng Linwan, the pilot inside the Dawn Society's Black Level Mecha, was the first to notice this, and his expression immediately darkened.

He was already a renowned genius in the resistance organization. At only twenty-seven years old, he had already reached the Soul Emperor level of cultivation and was regarded as a rising star in the organization, with the potential to become God Rank Mecha Pilot in the future.

Compared to the silver-haired girl before them, they were like fireflies compared to the Haoyue!

Not to mention, behind her was Huo Yuhao, the number one young talent in the Douluo Federation...

"Is this... the top genius of the Douluo Federation?" he muttered to himself, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.

It was clearly an internal matter within the Star Luo Empire, yet the Star Luo Empire high-ranking officials actually invited powerful figures from the Douluo Federation to suppress it, which filled him with an indescribable sense of humiliation.

He thought of the commoners oppressed by the nobles, the Soul Masters exploited by the royal family, and the dark side of the Star Luo Empire that Dawn Society show him—were all these things to be forcibly suppressed by external forces?

Just then, his teacher's hoarse voice came through the Communicator: "Lin Wan, what are you daydreaming about? Quickly take everyone and get out of here! Leave this to me!"

Feng Linwan snapped back to reality, gritting her teeth as she said, "But sir, you're all alone..."

"I'll be fine." The elderly man, Lin Junjie, sitting in his Red Level Mecha, looked at Gu Yuena approaching from a distance, his expression grave. "Proceed according to plan. I just gave you the locations of the Dawn Society's trustworthy bases. If we split up, seek help from those places."

"This..."

"Go quickly!"

"Yes!"

Feng Linwan gritted his teeth, took one last look at the direction of the Red Level Mecha, and slammed the control stick. The thrusters on the back of the Black Level Mecha emitted a dazzling blue light, carrying the survivors at breakneck speed toward the hidden passage on the other side of the canyon.

Huo Yuhao, standing some distance away, seemed to have no intention of stopping them.

Seeing this, Lin Junjie recalled their conversation just now.

"Words are no proof; why don't you first provide a pledge of loyalty?"

"What would you like?"

"According to the Star Luo Empire's plan, the Dawn Society to gather their strength for a direct confrontation. But we all know the trickery involved. If that's the case, why not attack the Dawn Society's base, which isn't in the Star Luo Empire's attack plan? I suppose you don't like those places either..."

Lin Junjie snapped out of his daze, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "I've been playing this game my whole life, and this is truly the first time I've ever seen anything like it."

Are the generals on both sides their own Undercover Agent?

What other scheme couldn't be used?

"Now, it's time to put on a good show..."

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Yuena's silver spear had already pierced through the air and arrived!

The Red Level Mecha hastily raised its hand to block, the dark red energy barrier colliding with the silver spear light, unleashing a deafening roar. The shockwave swept outwards, directly overturning the ground within dozens of meters...
