Huo Yuhao glanced at the soul tools in the hands of Mu Xue and the others. These soul tools were about half a meter long, with a thick barrel at the front and a caliber of about thirty millimeters.
Huo Yuhao wasn't a soul engineer yet, but as the saying goes, you don't have to eat pork to know what a pig looks like. It was a Soul Tool Paralysis Ray, and an enhanced version at that. If this thing hit someone, even an ordinary soul master of the fifth or sixth ring would be instantly paralyzed and unable to move. Of course, it had to actually hit for that to happen.
The absolute command of King's Authority did not include making them hand over their soul tools, so Huo Yuhao had to give up on the idea of having them surrender their weapons.
These people all had flight-type soul tools, but their flying speed was truly nothing to write home about. Fortunately, they knew the exact location where the war would break out. Huo Yuhao decided to just take Mu Xue with him, carrying her himself as he flew, and simply left the others behind.
Mu Xue appeared to be around twenty years old, with a cold appearance and a slightly tall figure. Her long black hair was neatly tied into a ponytail, and her white combat attire was relatively form-fitting, making her long legs particularly eye-catching. Her height was almost the same as Huo Yuhao's, who was now over 1.7 meters tall. Unfortunately, in terms of looks, she couldn't compare to Zhongli Yu and the other two women, and in terms of temperament, she was far inferior to Xue Di. No wonder she was just an obscure supporting character in the original timeline.
Under the influence of Huo Yuhao's mental control, Mu Xue paid no mind to his brazenly appraising gaze, merely pointing out the route for them to follow in a wooden manner.
Her martial soul was Snow, but its attribute was far from reaching the ultimate level. In contrast, Huo Yuhao shared a soul spirit bond with Xue Di, and his third martial soul possessed the Ultimate Ice Snow attribute. Therefore, even if Mu Xue wasn't being controlled, she would have no choice but to submit to Huo Yuhao when he released his third martial soul. This was just like the bloodline suppression in the soul beast world. Captured by the Demon King Huo Yuhao, Mu Xue felt only a sense of helplessness and despair.
Huo Yuhao's notorious reputation was widespread, and his image had been completely demonized by Shrek early on. Huo Yuhao was already mentally prepared for this. A peerless prodigy and child of fortune who was not controlled by the powerful and noble would find it difficult to gain the acceptance of the masses before making any real contributions to the continent's people.
Of course, whether or to make contributions to the people of the continent was something Huo Yuhao would consider in the future. The current Douluo was still a world divided and ruled by secular imperial powers and aristocrats. It would take countless years for people's ideological level to reach that of humans on Blue Star.
The five of them soared through the sky, speeding toward the location of the impending great battle—
...
Evil Dragon's Command Tent.
The Evil Dragon General was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. He wore a dark green coat, had a serious expression, and his black hair was casually draped over his back. He had a red square tattoo of a criminal on his left cheek, no eyebrows, and stubble on his chin, giving him a naturally imposing air as he sat in the main seat with an authoritative posture.
His subordinates who knew him well were aware that the Evil Dragon had a calm and steady personality. He had been identified as the person most dangerous to the powerful nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire for over a decade. Now, upholding the ideal of freedom, he had grown strong, overthrowing dozens of local regimes oppressed by aristocratic tyranny, and had become the number one enemy of the Heaven Dou royal family.
He was always meticulous in his actions. Even his closest subordinates knew nothing of his past, and he disliked others prying into it.
Due to the war of resistance, the Evil Dragon Marshal was usually very busy, often spending a lot of time processing important documents from various military departments.
The situation on the continent was now tense. To consolidate its power and stabilize the people's morale, the Heaven Dou royal family was finally going to make a decisive move against this formidable rebel army.
"Have the people from the Body Sect really made a move?" The Evil Dragon Marshal frowned and asked.
"Reporting to the Marshal, one of our legions was attacked by unknown assailants yesterday. Based on the traces left at the scene, it has been confirmed that it was the Body Sect's master, Du Busi, who took action." an officer reported truthfully.
"Marshal, now that the Body Sect has officially declared itself the protector sect of the Heaven Dou royal family, the situation is very grim for us. We ask the Marshal to issue orders soon and make timely adjustments!" another officer requested.
"The Body Sect has a foundation of more than ten Titled Douluo. Once these people make a move, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long!"
"..."
The group of officers was clearly thrown into disarray by the news of the Body Sect's entry into the civil war and began to discuss it heatedly. Although their ideas varied, it was certain that the power of the Body Sect had brought considerable trouble to the Evil Dragon's rebel army.
Seated in the second main seat was a woman of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight. She had long black hair that fell to her waist and a flawless, fair, delicate face. Her hands, with all fingers except the thumbs intertwined and the thumbs touching, rested quietly on her crossed legs. Her tranquil and gentle temperament was unforgettable at first sight.
She slowly opened her eyes. A deep hatred was revealed in her bright and wise black eyes as she parted her red lips. Her voice immediately overshadowed the heated discussion of everyone present.
"May I ask, how many more days will it take for the reinforcements from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to arrive?"
"The clan said it will still take three days." a girl with a very slender figure and long red hair replied from the last seat.
Three years had passed, and Wu Feng's figure had undergone the most dramatic change, almost rivaling that of Ma Xiaotao back in the day.
However, despite her fiery personality, her eyes were filled with admiration for the black-haired woman.
For no other reason than that this black-haired woman was none other than the pride of the original Shrek Academy's inner court, the goddess pursued by countless male students, Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan.
For the past three years, she had searched every corner of the Douluo Continent where the Tang Sect had appeared but could never find a trace of Tang Ya. However, she was not without gains. At least she learned that the destruction of her family back then had the tacit approval of the current Heaven Dou royal family. The purpose, naturally, was to covet her family's assets.
She was no longer the gentle and graceful Senior Sister of the past. For three years, she had relived the tragic scene of her family's annihilation in her dreams countless times. And what was even more laughable was that the little man she had sworn to protect and adored had fallen in love with the descendant of her enemy. The elder who knew all of this had, for his own selfish reasons, broken his promise and concealed the truth from her.
It could be said that Shrek had played with her entire life.
With Shrek destroyed, she had no place to return to. When she learned that the Heaven Dou royal family had tacitly allowed those executioners to eliminate her family, she found the Evil Dragon army's headquarters and became the army's chief of staff.
"Three days is probably too late. I suggest the Evil Dragon Marshal break up the army into smaller units and transfer them as soon as possible." Zhang Lexuan pondered for a moment and suggested.
Now, not yet thirty years old, Zhang Lexuan was already a Titled Douluo-level expert. Her talent was so high that it made everyone present feel ashamed. Even Wu Feng, who had received a great opportunity thanks to Huo Yuhao, could not guarantee that she could reach the Titled Douluo level before the age of thirty.
However, her progress over the years had also been considerable. At sixteen, Wu Feng was already a sixty-ninth-level Soul Emperor. Such talent was in no way inferior to that of Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yaoheng, and the others back then.
"If only Yuhao were here..." Wu Feng thought to herself. Three years had passed, and there was still no news of that guy. She had no idea where he had gone for his secluded cultivation.
Starting to fill in the plot holes of the original work. I know you all really like the character of Senior Sister, so as you wish, I'm bringing her out.
