They Came, and Another Base Was About to Fall

"???"

Xu Chengzhi is now filled with questions.

Aside from Heavenly Yuan, whose intelligence he provided, the other destroyed Dawn Society bases shouldn't have been part of the attack plan, right?

Who provided the intelligence, and who launched the attack on their own initiative?

Xu Chengzhi had his Soul Masters explain the situation to him in detail, and his expression darkened when he heard that it was Huo Yuhao and Xu Lingfeng's team.

"Xu Lingfeng..."

He murmured the name, a hint of danger in his voice.

These Dawn Society bases that were wiped out were all factions he secretly supported!

On the surface, Dawn Society the enemy of the Star Luo Empire, but in reality, that force is used by Xu Chengzhi to counterbalance other opposing voices within the country.

The existence of these bases was a carefully laid-out pawn in his scheme, serving both to handle some shady matters for him and to appease the public when necessary by presenting them as "achievements."

But now, Huo Yuhao and Xu Lingfeng are actually treating these bases like dungeons to farm?!

It's one thing for Huo Yuhao of the Douluo Federation to do this, but Xu Lingfeng, what are you trying to do? Don't you know that's my territory?!

Oh, because of his own information control, he didn't know...

That's alright then.

"How did they find these bases?" Xu Chengzhi asked coldly.

The Soul Master sensed His Majesty's unusual mood and cautiously said, "According to Captain Xu's report, it was Lord Huo Yuhao who used his Divine Power to track down the fleeing Dawn Society and found them..."

Xu Chengzhi clenched his fist, his knuckles turning slightly white.

What a cunning Huo Yuhao! Is he forcing him to exit the game prematurely?

Seeing Xu Chengzhi's gloomy expression, the Soul Master tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, isn't this... a good thing?"

Xu Chengzhi took a deep breath, barely suppressing his anger, and said calmly:

"That's certainly a good thing, but I didn't expect it to progress so quickly. It's a bit of a surprise. Alright, you may leave."

He waved his hand, signaling the other person to step back.

When he was the only one left in the room, Xu Chengzhi's eyes turned completely cold.

It seems the final battle will have to be brought forward.

Under the cover of night, halfway up a giant mountain, a massive explosion startled the Dawn Society members inside the base. They frantically moved supplies back and forth, attempting to organize a defense.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Quickly! Activate the Defensive Soul Tool!"

"No, the energy core has been interfered with, and the soul-guiding array has failed—"

Seeing everyone's panicked state, a dejected figure sat in the corner, speaking in a low, gloomy voice:

"Heh, it's no use. They're here; another base is about to fall."

A young member of the Dawn Society glared at him angrily. "What nonsense are you spouting! There are three Soul Douluo masters here, the surrounding Star Luo Empire army is nothing..."

"Three Soul Douluo?" The dejected man let out a hoarse laugh. "Do you know who's coming? It's Huo Yuhao."

The surroundings suddenly fell silent.

Someone asked, trembling, "Is it the Douluo Federation powerhouse who defeated Lord Ling Hefan and Destruction our five bases?"

By this time, someone had already recognized the dejected man. "He's the Soul Master the base chief took in before, a survivor of the destroyed base!"

The dejected man slowly stood up, revealing a scarred face from the shadows. His voice was low and hoarse, like a demon crawling back from hell. "Escape? No... he let me go on purpose."

He was the Soul Master of the second base Destruction by Huo Yuhao's team. Because of his good strength, he had connections with many branches and bases of the Dawn Society.

But this did not become a force to protect him; instead, it brought him Nightmare.

This is now the fourth time he has been living under someone else's roof, and once again he faces Destruction...

"Huo Yuhao is here; another base is about to fall."

Muttering these words to himself, the man walked out of the base.

He didn't know what to do, should he run away?

Does it make sense?

Running away is just the beginning of the next escape.

But what's the point of fighting?

Face two monsters, and then go to your death?

"They're here; another base is about to fall."

Saying words that would damage the morale of the base, the man staggered out of the base gate amidst the panicked gazes of the crowd. The night wind, carrying the smell of gunpowder, rushed towards them. He looked up at the sky, where the starlight flickered in the light of the explosions.

"This is... utterly boring," he muttered to himself.

Behind them came screams of agony from members of the Dawn Society, the deafening roar of colliding Soul Power shaking the ground.

A shell suddenly landed beside him, instantly vaporizing him.

After much deliberation, the man ultimately chose death.

The Star Luo Federation has gone mad, choosing to cooperate with these Douluo Federation people to eliminate them. So, it's pointless for him to escape anywhere.

His appearance has been remembered by too many Star Luo Empire people, and there is even a special bounty on him. Even if he hides, he will be found sooner or later.

Most importantly, he was tired, really tired, and didn't want to run away anymore.

Destruction it all, I'm too tired to love anymore.

With this thought in mind, the man, completely unprepared, took the Soul Cannon Shell head-on and died as he wished... That's how it should have been.

But in the end, his body died, but his soul was not freed.

The dejected man stood blankly in a gray, gloomy space, looking down at his translucent hands.

"What... what's going on?" he muttered to himself, "Wasn't I dead?"

Moreover, the surrounding mist... seems very similar to the abilities of Evil Spirit Master.

The man's eyes suddenly lit up.

As a prodigy of the Dawn Society, he naturally didn't know the relationship between the Star Luo Empire leadership and the Dawn Society, but he did know that there were Evil Spirit Master among the Dawn Society's leadership.

So, has a big shot from the Dawn Society come to the rescue?

Although he felt like he was being sacrificed, he was willing to do it as long as he could see Huo Yuhao pay the price.

Just as the man's anticipation of revenge was rising, the fog suddenly churned violently. A familiar figure and other souls appeared in his sight, causing the smile on his face to gradually vanish.

Huo Yuhao?!

Yes, the person who collected the souls of these Dawn Society members at this moment was Huo Yuhao.

Through Underworld King Domain, he collected the souls of these fallen Dawn Society members, decomposed their power, and used it as nourishment for the Undead Creature within Underworld King Domain to enhance their strength.

The man watched this scene with a tremor in his soul. His fellow members of the Dawn Society had all transformed into pure Soul Power, being greedily devoured by the Undead Creature within Huo Yuhao's domain.

Who is the Evil Spirit Master?

Star Luo Empire, in order to wipe out an organization that isn't entirely made up of Evil Spirit Master, you actually cooperated with an Evil Spirit Master?

Are you guys crazy?!

If Tian Meng knew what he was thinking, she would definitely retort.

What do you know? This is called evil turning into good... Bah, it's good turning into evil!
