However, the main objective was not to kill, but to lead everyone away from here. Huo Yuhao called out to everyone, "Everyone, let's break out together!"
He raised his arm high, and his voice, amplified by his Soul Power, clearly reached everyone's ears.
With everyone united in their resolve, a surge of fighting spirit swept through the ranks. Then, led by Huo Yuhao, they charged toward the exit.
During the charge, he took out his pocket watch and glanced at it. There were still five minutes left before the retreat time. He decisively closed the watch and quickened his pace to continue the charge.
Upon reaching the ground, the group confronted the guards. Original Huo Yuhao immediately activated his fourth Soul Skill, the Spiritual Confusion skill.
This group skill affects the guards, causing them to attack each other and saving time in the breakthrough.
In the sky, Soul Tool ships spewed forth scorching cannon fire; on the ground, Soul Master unleashed their Soul Skill in retaliation. Explosions and shouts mingled together, plunging the entire Sunrise City into chaos. It could also be described as Soul Master fighting individually, each fulfilling their specific role.
Finally, at the critical moment, a deafening roar came, and the gate of Sunrise City was breached. He Caitou, causing it to collapse and allowing Huo Yuhao and the others to be safely received.
Following the plan, Xu Sanshi and the others saw that it was time to evacuate, so they Black Tortoise Displacement teleport to the rendezvous point.
Ma Xiaotao, in the water dungeon, also began to pretend to reprimand her subordinates, coldly glancing at the few kneeling people. "Weren't you supposed to have plenty of Soul-Destroying Powder? How come they've all escaped?"
One of the Holy Spirit Cult elders said, "Holy Maiden, now is not the time to assign blame; the most urgent task is to bring those people back."
Ma Xiaotao countered, "Bring them back? I now suspect the Zhongli brothers are enemy spies. Rushing to arrest them might just lead us into their trap."
The three Zhongli Tian, knelt on the ground, trembling, and said, "Holy Maiden, you are wise! We three brothers would never betray the Holy Church or the Holy Lord!"
The Fourth Elder said calmly, "Holy Maiden, please be careful with your words. Brother Zhongli is the leader's trusted confidant. Duan would never betray our sect. Right now, the priority is to pursue the hostages. If we delay for more than ten days, none of us can bear the responsibility."
Ma Xiaotao knew that the Third and Fourth Elders were already putting pressure on her, and if she dragged it out any longer, they would expose her. She snorted coldly, "Fine, we'll hold you accountable later. Third Elder, Fourth Elder, let's go."
Ma Xiaotao and the others set off, flying out at lightning speed, preparing to capture the hostage.
Huo Yuhao had led everyone out of the Sunrise City area and arrived at the rendezvous point in the dense forest.
He Caitou, Xu Sanshi, Nan Qiuqiu, Wang Dong'er, Wang Qiu'er, and others were already waiting there.
He Caitou also took out the prepared flying Flying Soul Tool Flying Soul Tool, which was displayed before everyone.
Huo Yuhao looked around at everyone and said, "These are the 800 Flying Soul Tool I prepared beforehand. Everyone, please evacuate in turn."
Everyone exclaimed with delight, "That's wonderful!" This must be considered the joy of surviving a disaster, and it was indeed one of the happiest moments in life, after all, they had finally escaped death.
A low cheer erupted from the crowd. As they left, some people solemnly clasped their hands in thanks to Huo Yuhao, while others simply gave him a grateful hug. Overall, they were quite polite.
Huo Yuhao saw that everyone had already gone to the location of the Flying Soul Tool. He scanned the number of people in the team. Wait, it seems that one person is missing. He asked everyone, "Where is Nan Qiuqiu?"
Just then
"Boom!!!"
The time had come, and the trigger-activated soul-guided bomb that Huo Yuhao had set up beforehand was detonated.
Explosions echoed from the direction of Sunrise City, sending flames soaring into the sky and illuminating the night.
He used his Martial Soul to probe directly, and found that the Evil Lord Soul Engineer Corps was moving faster than expected, and was already in Sunrise City.
Huo Yuhao said to everyone, "Everyone, evacuate immediately, evacuate in different areas!"
The crowd said, "Okay, take care, see you later," and these words lingered in the air before they left.
The sounds of farewell echoed through the forest. The next second, hundreds of figures soared into the sky, and after a short while, they slowly disappeared from the heavens.
He Caitou said to Huo Yuhao, " Yuhao, let's get out of here quickly."
Huo Yuhao calmly said, "I'm going to find Qiuqiu."
He Caitou hesitated, then said, " Yuhao, if you go back now, you'll surely die."
Huo Yuhao's gaze remained calm. "Not to mention that I'm the captain of the rescue operation and have to be responsible for every member of my team, I promised Qiuqiu that I would help her rescue her mother. A promise made must be kept."
Xu Sanshi stepped forward and asked Huo Yuhao, "Didn't you say we shouldn't act on emotion and should help each other?"
Huo Yuhao shook his head, a bitter smile tugging at the corner of his lips, "There's nothing I can do. The person has already disappeared; I can't just leave them to die."
Ye Guyi stood to the side, her heart pounding. She understood Ye Guyi Huo Yuhao's determination, which was one of the reasons she liked Huo Yuhao. Why was she so enamored with him? She liked so many things about Huo Yuhao Huo Yuhao; every shining quality he displayed captivated Ye Guyi, especially now.
A surge of emotion welled up within her. "Then let's go together." Ye Guyi clearly didn't want Huo Yuhao to go to his death alone.
Huo Yuhao continued to shake his head, his tone gentle. " Guyi, your mission isn't completely over yet. Your final task is to escort all personnel to safety. A small team or even just two or three people entering the city will only arouse suspicion. I alone can make the best judgment."
Ye Guyi opened her mouth but couldn't find the words to refute.
Wang Dong'er's eyes reddened slightly as she whispered, " Yuhao, you must come back safely."
Huo Yuhao gave a soft "hmm," his gaze softening slightly.
Wang Qiu'er's emotions were at their most intense at this moment, because the power of destiny within her sensed that Huo Yuhao was in danger.
Her voice trembled slightly, yet remained exceptionally resolute as she said to Huo Yuhao, "This time, it's a near-certain death situation. Let me go with you, Yuhao."
Huo Yuhao had long known that Qiu'er would say those words, but having already known the fate that awaited him, how could he allow her to die again? This time, he would not allow the tragedy to repeat itself.
He reached out and pulled Wang Qiu'er into his arms, his cheek close to hers. " Qiu'er, trust me, okay? I know your premonitions are usually very accurate, but this time is different."
Wang Qiu'er trembled slightly in his arms, her eyes filled with unconcealed worry. "What's different? Do you know my identity? I have the ability to foresee good and bad fortune. If you go this time, the chances of survival are slim."
Huo Yuhao smiled confidently and gently stroked her cheek. "Silly girl, no way. I'm someone who never believes in fate. My destiny is in my own hands, not in the heavens. Even if the heavens wanted me to die, I would come back alive, because I am Huo Yuhao."
However, Wang Qiu'er's unease grew stronger, and the pain of losing her beloved surged like a tide, almost overwhelming her. Just as she was about to speak again, Huo Yuhao suddenly leaned down and kissed her lips in front of everyone.
Huo Yuhao kissed Wang Qiu'er, their lips meeting in front of everyone—how bold!
The kiss was very gentle.
After Huo Yuhao's lips gradually left hers, he looked into Wang Qiu'er's eyes and said, "Being able to come back alive is my vow to you, and I will keep it, because you are my girl. I only keep my promises to my girls, and I will never break them."
He gently wiped away the tears from Wang Qiu'er's eyes with his fingertips, his voice tender. "Wait for me to come back."
"Believe in miracles, Qiu'er, everyone."
