As Mo Yan had said, the Dawn Society had operated in Xingluo for several hundred years. They had access to information. Especially regarding something as precious as dragon bones, which had attracted attention and many of which had been digested internally by Xingluo people. The channels for obtaining them were transparent to some.
After learning the general location of Dragon Valley and the situation there from Mo Yan, Huo Yuhao was ready to see him out.
Seeing this, Mo Yan could only leave his contact information. "We have been waiting for a variable, but in the end, we realized that only an external variable can change everything."
Huo Yuhao did not respond, but he did not refuse the contact information either.
Given the current situation in Xingluo, it was worth pondering why the Dawn Society had survived.
He was not Saint Spirit Douluo. She might set aside her concerns because of the suffering of the Xingluo people, but he could not.
Watching Mo Yan leave helplessly, Huo Yuhao turned his gaze to the booth Mo Yan had mentioned earlier. He narrowed his eyes.
The Federation personnel who had come to Xingluo, the first thing that came to mind was the Tang Sect.
And the only ones the Dawn Society would highlight were the Tang Sect.
In the original work, the Tang Sect had extraordinary power in Xingluo. Not only did they control the mysterious Dragon Valley, but their subsidiary, Xuanshi Tang Sect Company, was a commercial giant spanning the entire Xingluo Continent. This company focused on the research and manufacturing of soul tools and had an extensive layout in the sale of soul tools. More importantly, as the official military supplier of the Xingluo Federation, the Tang Sect provided them with various advanced military equipment.
It could be said that on the land of Xingluo, the Tang Sect received resource tilt from the Xingluo Federation and was practically a "State Religion."
Although Huo Yuhao still could not understand how Xingluo and the Douluo Federation tolerated such a giant organization hedging their bets on both sides, he had to admit that the Tang Sect in the original work was truly glorious.
However, the current Tang Sect was obviously not that excellent. On this land, the one receiving the most support was not the Tang Sect, but the Holy Spirit Cult.
And the Tang Sect, which had originally wanted to "hedge its bets," had stumbled because of this.
"Taking Human Pills."
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly.
As things stood, even faith in Shrek Academy could not stand this drug called the Human Pill.
The Douluo Continent was a fantasy world. What would normally be considered "drugs" could actually have medicinal properties here. But the pleasure of rapid cultivation advancement was something no one could abandon. After all, this world did not emphasize cultivation of the mind.
In other words, if even the Dragon God could go mad, what could not?
Not to mention the Tang Sect. How many people who had reached a bottleneck in their cultivation could resist after learning of the Human Pill's existence? And after taking it, how many could hold onto their bottom line?
Under Gu Yuena's confused gaze, Huo Yuhao murmured to himself, "The Holy Spirit Cult has developed the prototype of Demonic Cultivation. It must be eradicated."
Evil soul masters were very similar to the Demonic Cultivators of some worlds. But the emergence of evil martial souls had made the appearance of evil soul masters a completely random event.
However, now they had found a shortcut.
Once ordinary soul masters tasted the feeling of their cultivation skyrocketing, they could no longer bear the slowness of normal cultivation. Those who took Human Pills would constantly crave higher grade Human Pills. And the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult who supplied the pills would naturally become their masters.
Reason would vanish from their eyes, replaced only by a greedy desire for power. Eventually, they would raise their blades and go to extremes. It was only a matter of time.
In the Douluo Continent, where the mind was not cultivated, the harm of this path could be imagined.
If they did not want the future Douluo Continent to become a situation where Dao rises and demons fall, demons rise and Dao falls, this path must be eradicated. Regardless of the thoughts of the doves or Shrek Academy, this war against Xingluo must be fought.
For various reasons, that war had ultimately ended in peace in the original work. But this time, Huo Yuhao intended to personally promote this war.
Those who stood in the way would be Killed Without Mercy.
A cold glint flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes. He stood up and walked toward the door. "Let us go, Na'er. We have obtained the intelligence. There is no need to stay at the auction any longer. After we settle the delegation, we will go to Dragon Valley."
"Yes."
Gu Yuena nodded. She looked at the "guard" still unconscious in the corner. She lightly tapped her finger, and a water ball appeared on the woman's face.
Le Xiaoling felt a chill and suddenly woke up. Remembering what had happened before she lost consciousness, she was about to warn Huo Yuhao and the others, but she saw that they had already stepped out of the room, telling her to follow, and that strange middle aged man was no longer in the room.
Immediately, Le Xiaoling felt a wave of bewilderment.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?
The Three Great Questions of Life arise in her mind, but no one could answer them.
...
The social landscape of the Xingluo Federation was broadly similar to that of the Douluo Continent. In just two days, the teachers and students of the Douluo delegation had come to know the environment here Like the Palm of Their Hand.
On the third day, Xie Xie and the others received notice that the Emperor and Speaker of Xingluo would personally receive the delegation today. The reception was scheduled for the evening, followed by a grand welcoming banquet.
A resonant horn call rang out repeatedly. The solemn and dignified national ceremony officially began before the Xingluo imperial palace.
A bright red carpet extended from within the Xingluo imperial palace, all the way to the square in front of the palace. Leading the Douluo Continent delegation were Pan Wen, along with several prominent councilors, as well as important figures like Duoqing Douluo, Soul Calming Douluo, and Huo Yuhao.
On both sides of the red carpet, officials at all levels of the Xingluo Federation stood in formation, secretly sizing up the Douluo Federation delegation.
Due to the age difference, people's gazes unconsciously turned to Huo Yuhao.
"So he is the next Tower Master of the Spirit Transmission Tower. He is truly young."
A Xingluo councilor lowered his voice.
His colleague beside him looked grave. "Do not be fooled by his appearance. Three days ago, when the Dawn Society attacked the soul powered train, it was he who defeated the enemy. That Red Grade Mecha pilot of the Dawn Society who gave us so much trouble, Ling Hefan, was also sent fleeing by him."
Huo Yuhao's deeds had spread like wildfire in Xingluo City these past few days. A Two-Word Battle Armor Master comparable to a Super Douluo, even setting aside his identity as the Spirit Transmission Tower heir, their Xingluo must also show him respect.
At the front of the procession, Pan Wen was exchanging pleasantries with the Xingluo ceremonial officer. Duoqing Douluo calmly swept his gaze over the Xingluo officials. His Solemn Authority Without Anger caused several lower level officials to unconsciously step back half a pace.
Noticing this, Huo Yuhao glanced at Duoqing Douluo.
Duoqing Douluo's mood seemed somewhat off. Had he learned about the Tang Sect's situation?
Suddenly, the sound of neat footsteps came from the main gate of the imperial palace, interrupting Huo Yuhao's thoughts.
Two teams of guards in golden soul tool armor filed out. Behind them, the Xingluo Emperor Xu Chengzhi and Speaker Dai Tianling walked side by side.
Duoqing Douluo's gaze flickered. Each of these guards was at least a seven ring Soul Sage. The star gems embedded in their armor could form a linked soul tool array.
Xingluo had put on such a display, apparently partly because the Federation delegation members were too luxurious.
Not to mention the hidden members like Leng Yulai, just him, Soul Calming Douluo, and Huo Yuhao alone were worth such a grand welcoming ceremony from Xingluo.
Xu Chengzhi stopped ten paces from the delegation and said with a gentle smile, "We have long heard that the Douluo Continent produces talent in every generation. Meeting you today, your reputation is indeed well deserved."
