His petal-like eyes, tinged with a mysterious purple hue, flickered gently as Huo Yuhao's eyes returned to normal.
"Lost in a beautiful illusion, never to wake up again."
Sheathed his longsword and stepped forward to stand before Jing Hongchen.
Jing Hongchen was slumped on the ground, his eyes closed, with blood streaming down his back but he showed no reaction.
Huo Yuhao placed his hand on Jing Hongchen's shoulder, and after confirming that he had entered a deep illusion, he took out a pill from his pocket and fed it to Jing Hongchen.
Although it wasn't enough to vent my anger, I felt like if I hit him again, I might kill him.
After all, he was Meng Hongchen's grandfather; Huo Yuhao couldn't possibly kill him.
Seeing that Jing Hongchen's wound had stopped bleeding, Huo Yuhao stood up.
The skill that Huo Yuhao just used was the one he obtained from the mysterious Soul Beast he hunted in the Star Dou Great Forest.
By using Spiritual Power, he can directly pull his enemy into a mental illusion. He can directly construct a mental world, making his enemy completely lost in it. Of course, if you want, you can torture him indefinitely. As long as his Spiritual Power cannot break through your mental illusion, then you are invincible.
This skill is exceptionally useful. Huo Yuhao estimated that, with his Spiritual Power, there probably wouldn't be many people in the Douluo Continent who could resist it.
"Don't wake up again until things are over across the entire continent."
Huo Yuhao pondered the current situation for a moment, then clenched his fist on his sleeve, having a general idea of what was going on.
Jing Hongchen is now trapped in an illusion and will not wake up, while his current identity remains under house arrest.
This will require some cleanup work, but with the Simulation Soul Skill, it should be easy to resolve.
Huo Yuhao gave a secret signal to the sky, and after a few minutes, two members of the Shadow Garden arrived in front of him.
"Lord Shadow!"
The two bowed respectfully to Huo Yuhao, their eyes filled with admiration.
Huo Yuhao nodded and instructed, "Take Jing Hongchen back, and don't let anyone see her. I'll handle the rest."
The two nodded and acted swiftly and decisively, as if they had been trained.
One person took out a cylinder as tall as a person, tapped it twice, and the two ends of the cylinder suddenly rose, releasing the pressure as high-pressure gas rushed out from both ends.
A metal door protruded from the surface of the column, and after a series of mechanical sounds, the small door opened with a thud.
The other person skillfully and smoothly inserted Jing Hongchen inside.
This is a nutritional medical pod specially researched by the Shadow Garden for long-distance transport of wounded soldiers. The soul guide core and other miscellaneous items inside are all used to sustain the lives of the wounded.
Most importantly, a piece of Gold of Life is installed in the most crucial part of each of these nutrition and medical cabins.
Because the Gold of Life is so precious, even in medical pods like the Shadow Garden, there are no more than five of them.
In short, once you're inside, as long as you don't do anything reckless, it's hard to die even if you want to.
Even if you are critically injured and on the verge of death, as long as it's stuffed in, it can keep you alive.
After doing this, the two closed the metal door, carefully laid the medical pod flat, then attached two metal rods to each end of the pod, and lifted it up with a single effort.
The two girls were about to leave when Huo Yuhao, as if remembering something, called them back.
" Ke Ke should be almost done too. I'll stop by and let her know so she can go straight back to the dorm when she wakes up."
The two nodded. The Shadow Garden communicates with each other in real time, so they both knew what had just happened.
Giving them a heads-up before leaving isn't a hassle for them.
With a flick of his sleeve, Huo Yuhao used his Soul Power to lift the two of them, along with the medical pod, and in the blink of an eye, sent them out of the imperial city.
The two were not surprised. As they landed, they simultaneously pushed their toes forward and, one in front of the other, carried the medical pod out at a very fast speed.
Coupled with their training in concealing their whereabouts, the two, along with Jing Hongchen, vanished from the streets of Mingdu in the blink of an eye.
Watching the two leave with his Spiritual Detection, Huo Yuhao composed himself, and with a thought, his Second Soul Ring glowed faintly red.
The space around him distorted and changed in the next moment, his original appearance suddenly changed, and even his physical characteristics changed.
Second Soul Skill: Simulation.
In just a few seconds, Huo Yuhao had completely transformed into Jing Hongchen.
He took two steps forward, cleared his throat a few times, and said, "Ahem... Your Majesty, Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiu'er from the Shrek Academy... ahem."
Upon closer listening, Huo Yuhao's voice was now completely identical to Jing Hongchen's.
Next, Huo Yuhao pondered Jing Hongchen's daily characteristics and some of his little habits.
The imitation is so accurate that it's almost indistinguishable from the original.
It seems that only someone very close to Jing Hongchen could possibly see through Huo Yuhao's disguise.
After completing everything, Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection immediately locked onto Xu Tianran's location.
The newly enthroned emperor is leading two soul-guided corps to purge the so-called remnants of the rebel army.
Ultimately, the victors decide everything, and if Xu Tianran believes they are the victors, then they must be.
Xu Tianran was merely using this title to reshuffle the power structure of the entire Sun Moon Empire, and to tell everyone that he would be in charge of the empire from now on.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao's arrival, disguised as Jing Hongchen, did not attract Xu Tianran's attention.
I simply inquired whether the prince's entire entourage had perished.
Having received an affirmative answer, he ignored it and left with the Ju Zi.
Huo Yuhao had achieved his goal, and he didn't want to spoil Xu Tianran's fun.
After all, it's hard to say how many days he can remain emperor.
After Huo Yuhao made a brief appearance before him, he returned and released himself and Wang Qiu'er in the name of Jing Hongchen.
He then announced his seclusion.
From then on, Jing Hongchen, Level 9 Soul Engineer of the Sun Moon Empire, went into complete seclusion and disappeared without a trace.
A few days later, Xu Tianran was also somewhat surprised to hear the news that Jing Hongchen had gone into seclusion. He called over Ju Zi and asked, "Did Jing Hongchen really go into seclusion?"
Ju Zi bowed respectfully and nodded, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty, Dean Hongchen seemed to have suffered serious injuries that day. He is currently in seclusion to recover from his injuries and will likely not be able to emerge from seclusion for some time."
"However, he left behind most of the high-level Soul Tool, presumably knowing that His Majesty would need them and thus keeping them specifically."
Xu Tianran's expression was somewhat unusual, but the matter of pacifying the court and the countryside was urgent, and in addition, Jing Hongchen's matter had its reasons, so he did not pursue it too much.
"Although the matter wasn't handled perfectly, you still put in the effort, so let Dean Hongchen focus on healing your wounds. By the way, the Ju Zi Soul Guidance Corps and the Soul Tool left behind by Dean Hongchen are entirely in your hands. Don't let me down."
Ju Zi said with a firm look in her eyes, "Your Highness, rest assured!"
