Chapter 509 Huo Yuhao: Feeling the relief of a father; Gu Yue: I'm worried about you going alone.
Fortunately, as the Holy Maiden of Qiankun Wenqing Valley, Leng Yulai had seen all sorts of strange and unusual things.
Of course, more importantly, she clearly saw that Huo Yuhao's face had darkened considerably, which forced her to suppress her smile.
With a dark expression, Huo Yuhao impatiently reached out and vigorously rubbed, rotated, and pressed Nanali's head, who was still acting up in his arms.
Startled by the punishment, Nanali jumped up and hid to the side, pitifully covering her head and crying out, "Master, Little Bell was wrong! Next time, Little Bell will never dare to talk such nonsense again!"
With Nanali's interruption, the room was once again filled with lively activity, and the slightly awkward atmosphere from before dissipated.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the guests and hosts took their seats.
Dai Yun'er finally couldn't contain her anxiety any longer. Her eyes reddened, and she asked in a tearful voice, "Yuhao, have you contacted the Dark Blood Eyes? Have you received any news? How are my father and the others?"
Dai Yun'er couldn't even imagine what kind of heinous things Dai Mubai, who had been suppressed and then escaped, would do.
The appalling tragedies that occurred within the Douling Empire are undoubtedly the best proof. If the Xingluo Empire were to suffer the same calamity, her loved ones would certainly not escape unscathed.
Huo Yuhao also sighed with a hint of helplessness.
The reason why Dai Yun'er and the others, who had set off earlier than Biya Li and Nanali, only arrived at Tiandou City now is because they first went to investigate the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
But by then, Huo Yuhao had already set off for the Federation's secret arms factory to meet Ling Zichen due to the urgency of the situation.
As the Federation's top secret location, the area naturally has extremely strong shielding against the signals of soul-guided communicators.
In the following days, Huo Yuhao either spent his days and nights in the forging room practicing Heavenly Forging, or he discussed the modification design plan for the Divine Transmission Tower with Ling Zichen.
It wasn't until he left the arsenal and saw the multiple messages left by Dai Yun'er and the others on his communicator that he hurriedly contacted Dark Blood Eye, who was far away on the Star Luo Continent.
Faced with Dai Yun'er's worries, Huo Yuhao could only gently reassure her, "Yun'er, don't scare yourself. According to the intelligence transmitted back by the Dark Blood Eye, there has been no coup or massacre within the Star Luo Empire."
She will also secretly travel to the Star Luo Imperial Palace to investigate, and will immediately send back any definite news. Meanwhile, in the Federation's official intelligence network, it is still your father who accepted the Dou Ling Emperor's formal surrender.
This is enough to prove that Dai Mubai did not harm them.
Hearing this affirmative response, Dai Yun'er's anxious heart, which had been pounding for the past few days, finally calmed down.
After letting out a long sigh, a forced smile returned to his previously tense face.
After saying a few more words to comfort the little girl, Huo Yuhao's expression turned serious. He glanced at the women present and said in a deep voice, "Since you came here with Leng Yaozhu and Leng Yulai, it means you already know what will happen here next."
Actually, I'd rather you, like Han Ying who's currently undergoing the God of Love's test, continue to stay peacefully in the Valley of Love and Destiny.
After all, the battles to come will be far more brutal than any conventional war; even Limit Douluo might face the risk of death.
Aside from Gu Yue, whose strength is completely unparalleled, Yuan En Ye Hui, the girl with the highest cultivation among the group of girls present, is only just approaching the level of a Super Douluo. They haven't even possessed a complete set of four-word battle armor yet.
Under these circumstances, Huo Yuhao naturally did not want them to take any unnecessary risks with him.
Letting them stay in Qiankun Wenqing Valley, with Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong secretly watching over them, is undoubtedly the safest option at present.
After realizing the underlying message of Huo Yuhao's words, Dai Yun'er and the others exchanged glances. Finally, Dai Yun'er resolutely replied, "Yuhao, we already knew about the dangers on our way here. But as the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility."
We have always been on the path of spiritual practice, perhaps for various reasons, but ultimately we are all doing righteous things. Those people, for their own selfish desires, committed such heinous crimes; how can we possibly hide behind them with a clear conscience?
After hearing these impassioned words, Huo Yuhao subconsciously raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of surprise, completely unable to believe that these words could come from his most affectionate little kitten.
Logically speaking, in this situation, Dai Yun'er should have come up to him, hugged him, and said something like, "As long as you help me forge the complete four-word battle armor, everything will be fine."
It seems that the events that have occurred within the Star Luo Empire have also unconsciously matured Dai Yun'er's mind considerably.
Looking at Dai Yun'er's determined eyes, Huo Yuhao felt a sense of relief, like a father.
"Since you've all made up your minds, I won't say anything more. In the coming period, I will speed up the process as much as possible to create suitable four-word battle armor for each of you, which will give you a more reliable foundation for survival."
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, then slowly added, "However, let me make this clear from the start. In the upcoming battle, your primary task is not to go to the front lines to kill the enemy, but to protect this most crucial Transcendent Tower."
Only when the Divine Pagoda has accumulated all its energy and is successfully activated can we truly have a chance to win this punitive expedition.
As Huo Yuhao finished speaking, Gu Yue, who had been quiet for a long time, raised her hand and interjected in a cold tone, "Huo Yuhao, when the battle begins, I want to be by your side. I'm worried about you going alone."
This short and direct sentence stunned everyone around.
Xu Xiaoyan, in particular, clenched her little fists in excitement.
They thought their Gu Yue had finally become wise and knew to take the initiative to win over Teacher Yu Hao!
You know, last time she had to suppress her reluctance and give up such a great opportunity to get close to Teacher Yuhao.
Aside from a slight sense of inferiority, the main reason for her decision was to uphold her lifelong promise to her best friend.
How could she sneak away behind Gu Yue's back and steal Yu Hao's heart?
But Gu Yue's next words were like a fixed-position soul-guided missile, mercilessly sinking Xu Xiaoyan's wingman who had just taken off.
"If something happens to you, how will you and Gu Yuena have a child with pure dragon god blood? So for your personal safety, you cannot refuse this."
Looking at her disciple's serious expression as he uttered such foolish words, Leng Yaozhu felt that all her years of careful teaching had been in vain, and that this silly child was completely hopeless.
Although she had learned Gu Yue's true identity from her younger sister, which had shocked her greatly and kept her awake for several days, she was still deeply shocked.
He had actually nurtured a supreme ruler of soul beasts —
No, my disciple is actually the legendary Silver Dragon King!
But now, seeing Gu Yue's actions of constantly pushing Huo Yuhao away, and even hoping that Huo Yuhao would have a child with another woman as soon as possible, is quite disheartening.
Leng Yaozhu found it extremely strange no matter how she looked at it, and exclaimed that she couldn't understand the worldview of the soul beasts.
Could it be that Gu Yue is not the Silver Dragon King, but the Green Dragon King?
Compared to the silence of the others, Leng Yulai had been suppressing her laughter the whole time. At this moment, she forced back her laughter and said, "Since things have been roughly settled and everyone has reached a consensus."
"Then, sister, you and our ancestor will go to the Federation's upcoming high-level military meeting as representatives. I'll stay here and look after these little girls."
The person most delighted by Gu Yue's "uninterested" attitude towards Huo Yuhao was none other than Leng Yulai.
After all, if Gu Yue really got involved with Huo Yuhao and made their relationship public...
So how could Leng Yaozhu, as Gu Yue's teacher, still have the face to develop a relationship with Huo Yuhao?
How could I possibly give my sister a push from behind so that she could successfully seize the future?
Nanali, who had just been reprimanded for her earlier outbursts and had been keeping quiet to minimize her presence, suddenly jumped up and shouted, "I want to go too! I want to go to the meeting with Master! Little Bell must always be by Master's side—"
Before she could act coquettishly towards Huo Yuhao as usual, Leng Yulai, quick as a flash, grabbed her by the back of her collar and lifted her up.
"Nanali, you were one of the little girls I mentioned staying to look after. Before she left, Sister Yali specifically told me to keep a close eye on you."
"Tell me, what do you think will happen if I tell her afterwards that your previous well-behaved behavior was all an act to deceive her?"
Leng Yulai spoke softly, but to Nanali, her words were colder than summer snow.
Without even a second's hesitation, Nanali immediately performed a lightning-fast face swap.
She rubbed her little hands together, a sheepish smile plastered on her face: "Oh dear, look at the mess I've made. Thinking about it carefully, I think staying in this Divine Pagoda is quite nice; it's safe and comfortable, so I won't go out and cause any more trouble—"
Seeing that Nanali was so sensible, Leng Yulai snorted and didn't pursue the matter any further.
In any case, her ultimate goal was to allow her older sister to take advantage of this opportunity to spend time alone with the ancestor and cultivate a better relationship with him.
Otherwise, given Leng Yaozhu's outwardly dignified and generous nature, but her extremely awkward personality when it comes to relationships, she might really be destined to remain single for life.
Not long after, after a quick tidying up, Huo Yuhao and Leng Yaozhu, who had left the Pagoda of Divine Transmission, arrived side by side in front of the newly built military conference building.
They happened to run into Le Zheng'en and his grandson, who were also attending the meeting.
Upon seeing Huo Yuhao, Le Zheng'en greeted him with a hearty smile and said respectfully, "Ancestor, it has truly been a long time since I've seen you. Zhengyu, come quickly and pay your respects to the Ancestor; do not be impolite."
Following behind, Yue Zhengyu had grown a lot compared to before after years of fighting against evil spirit masters.
The greasiness that had inadvertently shown before had faded away, and he looked exceptionally composed and capable.
He first bowed respectfully, then suddenly put on a bitter face and began to complain familiarly.
"Teacher Lingbing, you really fooled me back in the academy. If you have time next time, shall we go out for a few drinks together?"
As you know, when you see a living historical figure in front of you, you can't help but feel a surge of excitement.
Seeing his grandson becoming increasingly casual and unrestrained in front of Huo Yuhao, Le Zhengen reached out and forcefully slapped the back of his head.
"After so many years of trials on the brink of life and death, Zheng Yu is still as unreliable as ever. I am truly sorry to have made you laugh, Ancestor. I hope you will forgive me."
"It's alright."
Huo Yuhao responded gently: "It's been a few years since we last met. Zheng Yu's talent is indeed amazing. He was able to break through to the Soul Emperor realm at the age of seventeen."
Moreover, I can sense that there is still a considerable amount of condensed purifying power circulating within his body. If nothing unexpected happens, it is highly likely that he will reach the Soul Saint realm before the age of twenty.
"Ancestor, you flatter me. This child's achievements are all thanks to the information you provided. It was through this information that our Holy Angel family was able to wipe out several deeply hidden strongholds of evil spirit masters in one fell swoop."
Zheng Yu took the lead in the battle, which naturally brought him many benefits, causing his cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.
Leh Jung-eun's smile grew even brighter, then his expression turned serious.
"In this campaign launched by the Federation to suppress the Haotian Sect, our Holy Angel Family will also do its utmost and will certainly give it its all."
"There's just one thing my ancestor asked me to tell you: she's currently in the forbidden area working hard to repair herself, and she should be able to break through soon and come to lend you a hand."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao frowned slightly, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
"General Yue, please be sure to convey my message to Gu Yi, telling her not to rush out of seclusion, to prioritize her own safety, and that the most important thing in cultivation is not to be too hasty, lest she damage her foundation."
After all, Ye Guyi's situation was too special and too dangerous.
She herself relied on her shattered angelic divine essence to survive the erosion of ten thousand years.
Even though the core magic array within the Angel Forbidden Land has been modified to be the same as the one in the Qiankun Wenqing Valley, it has the ability to convert mental power into celestial energy.
But only a few short years have passed, so it is naturally impossible to successfully repair the damaged angelic divine essence.
Huo Yuhao really didn't want that silly girl to cause any more accidents because of her momentary bravado.
Le Zhengen was a sensible man, and he readily nodded in agreement, indicating that he would contact the clan later to convey Huo Yuhao's message.
He then took his leave and led Le Zhengyu into the conference building.
