Shrek City at night is as lively as ever; on the contrary, it is brightly lit, bustling with people, and still very busy.
The Federation's premier city truly lives up to its reputation.
However, amidst this lively atmosphere, an ominous aura quietly spread outside the Spirit Pagoda.
With Huo Yuhao's Simulation Soul Skill, Yu Longyue and Huo Yuhao bypassed the range of countless eyes and surveillance cameras.
They successfully infiltrated the Spirit Pagoda building.
But how to break through that barrier became the problem.
The Spirit Pagoda's defenses are virtually impenetrable, making it impossible for it to replicate the situation ten thousand years ago when Huo Yuhao could enter and exit seven times using his Simulation Soul Skill.
"This technology is developing too fast, I dare not challenge it." Huo Yuhao frowned and immediately retreated a hundred meters away with Yu Longyue, afraid of being discovered by the Spirit Pagoda's defenses.
"It seems this path is blocked, but that's alright, let's take the backup plan," Yu Longyue whispered. "Use our Simulation Soul Skill, we'll go in pretending to be rich young masters, and you'll be my bodyguard."
"No problem."
Huo Yuhao nodded; this plan was indeed suitable.
Besides, he couldn't very well have Yu Longyue act as his bodyguard, could he? Yu Longyue is a young master himself, so playing the role would be no problem for him.
Huo Yuhao Simulation Soul Skill, Yu Longyue transformed into a young master dressed in a black suit.
He was also wearing a black suit, which made him appear taller, and both of them wore sunglasses.
It does look quite professional.
"Make sure the details are right. Also, will your Spirit Domain Realm Spiritual Power be exposed?" Yu Longyue was afraid that something might go wrong at any step.
"Don't worry, someone of Qiangu Zhangting's level won't be able to detect us. As long as we act well, even if the surveillance cameras record us, Titled Douluo won't be able to tell."
Huo Yuhao carefully withdrew his Spiritual Power.
"I've analyzed the performance of most of the cameras, and there are no problems."
"Okay, let's go."
The two entered openly through the main gate. There were already plenty of Soul Master Spirit Pagoda, so they didn't arouse any suspicion and their journey went very smoothly.
"The first step has been taken."
Huo Yuhao's heart was in his throat; the most crucial moment was yet to come.
Yu Longyue said expressionlessly, "Alright, I'll go over our plan again. We'll find a blind spot in the surveillance cameras, launch a terrorist attack, and while the crowd is in chaos, we'll go to the monitoring room and delete the surveillance footage. Then we'll go to the Soul Spirit Zone and cause some damage. The whole thing will take two minutes. Once the two minutes are up, we'll retreat immediately. The retreat route is ready. Can you do it?"
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and composed himself. "I'm fine, and I've already found the blind spot in the surveillance. I'll use my mental clone to go there and teleport all the undead over."
"Okay, once you're ready, we'll get started."
Yu Longyue observed the surrounding situation, ready to deal with any unexpected events at any time.
"Ready in position."
Huo Yuhao's voice rang in Yu Longyue's ears. His spiritual clone was ready and could teleport the undead over at any time.
Yu Longyue nodded and led Huo Yuhao, his true form, straight to the monitoring room.
"Action."
As soon as he finished speaking, a small teleportation portal instantly formed and opened on Huo Yuhao's clone's side, from which a large number of undead creatures poured out and quickly spread throughout the Spirit Pagoda.
As if summoned by some force, the Skeleton and zombies began to pass through the portal in an orderly fashion and appear inside the Spirit Pagoda.
Golden soul flames flickered in their eye sockets. Though their movements were slightly stiff, they were swift, appearing inside the Spirit Pagoda without warning.
Just five seconds later, the surveillance cameras detected the appearance of the undead creatures, and the alarm inside the Spirit Pagoda immediately went off, turning the once peaceful building into chaos.
Moreover, Skeleton and zombies were just the vanguard; soon, higher undead creatures such as Death Knight and Abomination appeared.
Even a massive Bone Dragon was about to emerge.
The security team of the Spirit Pagoda had arrived, and the Soul Guidance Ray began to suppress the undead creatures. Meanwhile, Yu Longyue and Huo Yuhao took advantage of the chaos to quickly move towards the monitoring room.
They went unnoticed; Huo Yuhao's Simulation provided excellent cover for their operation.
Soon, they arrived at the monitoring room. Yu Longyue quickly knocked out several staff members and then destroyed the monitoring equipment. On the other side, Huo Yuhao used his Spiritual Power to completely delete all the monitoring data.
"Thirty seconds, surveillance is done. Next up is the Soul Spirit Zone." Yu Longyue glanced at the time; their operation was going very smoothly, and they were still on schedule.
The two quickly moved towards the Soul Spirit Zone, the core area of Spirit Pagoda, which housed a large number of Soul Spirit.
Their goal was to cause some damage and then leave quickly.
Qiangu Zhangting had just finished his cultivation and was about to have dinner. He had been following this regular routine for the past few months.
Suddenly, he heard the alarm sounding inside the Spirit Pagoda, which changed his expression.
"What's going on?!" Qiangu Zhangting's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
He quickly arrived at the floor from which the commotion had originated, and the sight before him shocked him. Large numbers of Skeleton and zombies were wandering aimlessly in the corridor, and some of the Spirit Pagoda staff had already scattered in terror.
Meanwhile, the enforcement team of the Spirit Pagoda has begun an orderly counterattack.
Many teams of Soul Emperor and Soul Saint were dealing with the escaped Death Knight and other powerful enemies.
Five more Soul Douluo were already locked in combat with the Bone Dragon that had just emerged.
"These are... the undead?!"
A look of shock flashed across Qiangu Zhangting's eyes, but he quickly recovered.
" Evil Soul Master!"
The Bone Dragon was enormous and couldn't function properly in this cramped building. Half of its body was stuck in the portal, with only its front half coming out and its rear half remaining in the Undead Plane.
"It's Bone Dragon! Such a high-level undead! Has the Spirit Pagoda been infiltrated by a group of Evil Soul Master?!"
Qiangu Zhangting immediately released his Martial Soul, gripping the Coiling Dragon Staff, his aura becoming even stronger, his eyes revealing an indomitable fighting spirit, as he charged straight at the Bone Dragon.
However, too many undead creatures rushed towards him along the way. The Coiling Dragon Staff danced in Qiangu Zhangting's hands, bringing up gusts of wind. Those undead creatures that approached were like fallen leaves swept up by the wind, being crushed one by one.
The dragon on the Coiling Dragon Staff seemed to come alive, circling around the Qiangu Zhangting.
In just one minute, the spirits here were effectively dealt with.
Before Qiangu Zhangting could even breathe a sigh of relief, he heard someone shout over the communicator:
"A large number of undead creatures have been discovered in the Soul Spirit Realm, along with two high-level Evil Soul Master. Requesting backup!"
Upon hearing the urgent distress call over the communicator, Qiangu Zhangting's heart tightened; he realized the situation was more serious than he had anticipated.
The appearance of the Evil Soul Master suggests that this attack was organized, and their target was likely the Soul Spirit in the Soul Spirit realm.
"Hold on, I'm coming!" Qiangu Zhangting shouted through the communication device, and his figure instantly accelerated, rushing towards the Soul Spirit Zone at an extremely fast speed.
When he arrived at the Soul Spirit Zone, the scene before him made his expression even more grim.
A large number of undead creatures are rampaging through the Soul Spirit Realm, including some high-level undead such as Death Knight and Abomination, who are all powerful combatants at the Soul Emperor level or above by nature.
These undead creatures rampaged through the Soul Spirit realm, posing a significant threat to the containers holding the Soul Spirit.
Two Evil Soul Master clad in black robes stood behind the undead creature, constantly vying for the high-level Soul Spirit stored in the container.
"You Evil Soul Master, how dare you run wild inside the Spirit Pagoda!"
Qiangu Zhangting roared, his Coiling Dragon Staff shining brightly, and his Soul Ring lit up one after another. He immediately used his Two-Word Battle Armor and Martial Soul Avatar, daring not to be careless in the face of the Evil Soul Master.
A man in black robes stopped, facing the direction of the Qiangu Zhangting, and without answering, slowly raised his hand.
"You're courting death!" Qiangu Zhangting roared, his figure instantly accelerating as his Coiling Dragon Staff drew a golden streak in the air, striking the black-robed man's head.
The man in black robes neither dodged nor evaded, but simply threw a punch with nonchalant ease.
This punch may seem simple, but it contains extremely powerful force.
The fist and staff clashed with a loud bang. Qiangu Zhangting felt a tremendous force coming from the Coiling Dragon Staff. His body involuntarily froze, and the Coiling Dragon Staff was sent flying in the blink of an eye. Blood even gushed from his tiger's mouth.
Immediately afterward, the man in black robes threw another punch. Qiangu Zhangting tried to dodge, but the man in black robes was faster, and his fist struck Qiangu Zhangting's chest solidly.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, Qiangu Zhangting felt as if his Battle Armor had been hit by a high-speed Soul Guidance Train, and the Battle Armor on his chest was actually dented.
His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
"Pfft!" As he was being thrown backward, Qiangu Zhangting couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned extremely pale.
Having landed a successful blow, the man in black did not press his advantage. Instead, he stood quietly in place, coldly watching the Qiangu Zhangting.
Qiangu Zhangting crashed heavily to the ground. He struggled to get up, but his body felt as if it had fallen apart, and the excruciating pain made it difficult for him to move.
"Who... who are you?!"
Qiangu Zhangting asked through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with anger and resentment.
Titled Douluo!
This power indicates that the opponent is at least a Titled Douluo skilled in physical strength!
The black-robed man who had rendered the Qiangu Zhangting incapable of fighting simply raised his hand in a gesture, and another black-robed man immediately took command, summoning a large number of undead to block the entrance.
Then they prepared to flee.
"You scoundrel! If you dare leave your name, I will surely kill you one day!" Qiangu Zhangting shouted angrily, his eyes bloodshot, as he saw them trying to escape after their success.
The man in black robes at the front raised his fist and smashed a hole in the wall with it. Hearing Qiangu Zhangting's words, he turned around and said in a hoarse voice:
"Is that so? In that case, I'll grant your wish. My name is Tang San, and I'm waiting for you to come and kill me."
