The plan for the future.
Original Huo Yuhao and the others returned to the hotel. He took water from the moat and had Xu Sanshi, a master with the Black Tortoise Martial Soul who could manipulate water, extract the Soul-Destroying Powder.
A water sphere and a green poison sphere were separated out.
He held the Soul-Destroying Powder in his Mysterious Jade Hand and used his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul to analyze it. In the Original Huo Yuhao world, he had mostly used Tang Sect's unique techniques, and the Tang Sect Poison Scripture contained the antidote for the Soul-Destroying Powder. So, he knew the antidote, but he didn't have enough medicinal herbs.
Ye Guyi suggested checking if there were any pharmacies in the city.
Original Huo Yuhao said, "I've scanned the city with my Spiritual Detection. There are eleven pharmacies in total. We'll split up and each person will only buy six different types, avoiding duplicates to prevent alerting the enemy."
The next morning, the group split up and went to eleven pharmacies in the city.
However--
That night, the group returned empty-handed, unable to find any medicinal herbs.
The medicinal herbs are now under control.
Just then, a voice rang out from the window. "It seems you've encountered some difficulties."
Ma Xiaotao stood by the window, then sat down in a chair, crossed her legs, and said, "The medicinal herbs in Sunrise City are controlled by the Holy Spirit Cult Sect. I stole some; it should be enough for you."
She tossed a Storage Soul Tool to Huo Yuhao.
The group cheered, "Great!" Original Huo Yuhao then said to Ma Xiaotao, "Thank you."
Ma Xiaotao looked in Huo Yuhao's direction and said, " Yuhao, why do you seem so unfamiliar to me? Yuhao, what happened? I sense a coldness from you."
Xu Sanshi nodded frantically, saying, "That's right, that's right, Sister Xiaotao, you don't know, Yuhao has been acting really strange lately. Sometimes he's as cold as an iceberg, and other times he's like he is now. He's even started to distance himself from us."
Original Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with a sharp edge. "Shut up, let's talk business first."
Ma Xiaotao also noticed the change in Original Huo Yuhao. She found it strange. The current Huo Yuhao had Sisi indifference and could be described as cautious, but he was completely different from before. Although the former Huo Yuhao also had a calm side, he would never be like this now, exuding an almost cold and aloof feeling, excluding everyone.
There are also two girls who look very similar, namely Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er.
The way Ma Xiaotao is treated in this team is getting stranger and stranger.
However, she couldn't afford to doubt her friends in the current situation. There were still hostages to be rescued, and Original Huo Yuhao was under the most pressure right now. He was the core of the team, and it was clear that he was the one giving orders for the branch missions. She couldn't let doubt cloud her judgment at this time.
"The situation is more complicated than we anticipated," Ma Xiaotao continued in a low voice. "A few days ago, the Sun Moon Empire's front lines were stretched thin, forcing them to withdraw some forces. But we just received bad news: Xu Tianran has brought Sunrise City under the jurisdiction of the Evil Monarch Soul Master Corps. Their leader, Mad Bull Douluo Wang Yiheng, is extremely powerful, and he's also a level nine Soul Master. With him personally commanding this Beast King-level mixed Soul Master Corps, their combat strength will be even greater. They also have trump cards, enough to threaten even the lives of Limit Douluos."
"They were the ones who took Xu Tianran hostage during this Soul Master Tournament. You have a maximum of 15 minutes to evacuate after the operation begins."
Original Huo Yuhao took the initiative to ask, "Sister Xiaotao, have you ever seen a woman named Nan Shuishui? She's the leader of the Earth Dragon Sect."
Ma Xiaotao pondered for a moment, then shook her head. " Nan Shuishui the Earth Dragon Sect? She's not in the water prison. I Taiqing the specifics, but the Third Elder seems to have taken some hostages. This person has a quirky and twisted personality, and is Level 9 Soul Engineer. He's been researching the technology of extracting the Martial Soul from living people and injecting it into Soul Tool."
Nan Qiuqiu was on the verge of collapse, nestled in Ye Guyi. Ye Guyi, acting as the responsible older sister, repeatedly protected Nan Qiuqiu's emotions to prevent her from doing anything impulsive.
Ma Xiaotao said, "Even if you have the antidote, it's almost impossible to bring so many people out while they're being guarded by Evil Soul Master."
Original Huo Yuhao confidently stated, "Why don't we just turn the hostages into our army?"
Huo Yuhao's antidote was also completed, and a surge of Soul Power emanated from him. Ji Juechen had broken through, which was all good news.
Ma Xiaotao returned to the water dungeon to gather information as the Holy Maiden. She asked the Fourth Elder, "Fourth Elder, where is the Third Elder? Go and find him."
The Fourth Elder calmly replied, "Yes."
"Wait a minute," Ma Xiaotao said, "Why don't I just go with you to find him?"
Original Huo Yuhao spiritual clone, using Simulation Soul Skill, was already hiding somewhere in the water prison.
He used telepathy to communicate with the group, saying, "Gentlemen, if you hear my voice, please remain still. I'm here to save you. I'm from the Shrek Academy, and my name is Huo Yuhao."
The crowd then stirred slightly, but remained calm.
To avoid arousing suspicion from the guards.
Original Huo Yuhao spiritual clone continued to transmit his voice, "Everyone, calm down. Remember every word I said. I have already released the antidote for the Soul-Destroying Powder into the moat. The antidote will spread along the moat to the water prison. In about three hours, everyone's Soul Power will be fully restored. Everyone must suppress their Soul Power and not let the Holy Spirit Cult detect anything unusual."
"The rescue operation will begin in three hours."
On the other side, in the hotel
Wang Qiu'er's Eye of Destiny sensed that Huo Yuhao would be in danger this time. She had her own ideas and would never let him be in danger. However, on second thought, Yuhao could even kill God King, so it seemed that he didn't need her help.
But what if?
Out of concern for him, she still wanted to go, because she felt it was fate's arrangement, because it was him, nothing more.
Three minutes before the rescue operation began.
Original Huo Yuhao, dressed in black, stood on a rooftop terrace.
He recalled the matters discussed in the hotel.
"Our manpower and capabilities are limited; we can't handle everything. Right now, we need to rescue most of the people in the water prison," Original Huo Yuhao said, looking at Nan Qiuqiu's seat. " Qiuqiu, as for your mother, I'll go with you. We'll rescue her then."
Nan Qiuqiu's anxious heart finally settled down. "Okay."
Wang Qiu'er and Wang Dong'er said in unison, " Yuhao, I'll go with you."
Both the Original Huo Yuhao and Huo Yuhao split soul began to react. He faced Wang Qiu'er and the other woman. "Neither of you can go."
Original Huo Yuhao's eyes had transformed into double pupils, one Golden Pupils and one blue. He pointed at Wang Qiu'er and said, "Especially you, Qiu'er."
Huo Yuhao's split soul and the Original Huo Yuhao never intended to bring Wang Qiu'er here, because they didn't want to experience what Huo Yuhao's split soul had gone through. They knew Wang Qiu'er's fate, and if they knew the ending and still took her to her death, they would never forgive themselves.
