(Douluo Dalu 3 Fanfiction) Huo Yuhao in Legend of Dragon King

"Trip to the Dragon Valley?"

Huo Yuhao sensed Xu Chengzhi's probing and displayed just the right amount of surprise. Then, as if recalling something, he slightly furrowed his brow, showing a thoughtful expression.

It must be said that a young appearance can effectively mislead others. Xu Chengzhi, who had been closely observing Huo Yuhao's expression, immediately felt a sense of contemplation.

The intelligence he had received was that an ultimate ice soul master had gone to the Dragon Valley, and there shouldn't be such a person within the Star Luo Empire. Therefore, the Holy Spirit Cult directly targets the members of the Douluo Federation delegation.

Xu Chengzhi thought the same.

And because of Huo Yuhao's previous actions and his recent disappearance in Star Luo City, he couldn't help but connect Huo Yuhao with the person who caused the collapse of the Dragon Valley's small world.

However, there was one thing that didn't add up.

The ultimate ice soul master and Huo Yuhao had a significant difference in their martial souls. Furthermore, according to the intelligence provided by the Evil Eye Tyrant, there were many details that differed between the two.

The Evil Eye Tyrant was a "veteran" who had been with the Holy Spirit Cult for ten thousand years and was highly trusted. It was impossible for him to provide false intelligence on such matters.

To avoid the Holy Spirit Cult thinking he was sowing discord, Xu Chengzhi had to suppress the information that Huo Yuhao had once obtained intelligence about the Dragon Valley from the Dawn Society.

After all, whether it was Huo Yuhao or not wasn't actually important. Regardless, whether it was Huo Yuhao or the ultimate ice soul master, the Holy Spirit Cult's best choice was to capture them alive.

Moreover, if he reported the information, he would have to bear the responsibility for the collapse of the Dragon Valley's small world...

But now, judging from Huo Yuhao's reaction, it seems that this matter really had nothing to do with Huo Yuhao. In other words, there was a hidden ultimate ice soul master among the members of the Douluo Federation delegation who had arrived this time.

And Huo Yuhao should know of this person's existence.

As Xu Chengzhi thought of this, Huo Yuhao also seemed to snap out of his thoughts, showing no intention of discussing the trip to the Dragon Valley further and directly changed the topic.

The more one talks, the more mistakes one makes.

Originally, he hadn't planned to leave any survivors or information about himself at the Holy Spirit Cult's base in the Dragon Valley.

However, encountering the Evil Eye Tyrant at the Dragon Valley base had changed his plans, forcing him to leave some information for them to explain.

But this made some of his actions seem rash. Once exposed, it will affect the Evil Eye Tyrant's undercover mission. It was not advised to discuss this matter further to avoid revealing more information.

Fortunately, the success of the trip to the Dragon Valley indeed shows that the Dawn Society had not handed over the intelligence about him seeking the Dragon Valley to the Holy Spirit Cult.

Now that the Dragon Valley's small world seemed to have collapsed, they probably wouldn't bring it up in front of the Holy Spirit Cult to avoid burning themselves.

Next, it depends on how far the Evil Eye Tyrant, as a veteran who had been with the Holy Spirit Cult for ten thousand years, could go. Hopefully, he wouldn't be directly turned into a soul ring because of this.

"Trust? Before talking about trust, I want to know what Star Luo is really up to. Collaborating with the Federation to suppress the Dawn Society, and now telling me that there's a problem with Star Luo's upper echelons, and that the Dawn Society is the correct one? Even Emperor Xu Chengzhi is the leader of the Dawn Society?"

Huo Yuhao said coldly, "This is not a joke that can be made lightly. If Star Luo's high-ranking officials have indeed been infiltrated by evil soul masters, then all future cooperation between the Douluo Federation and your side has no foundation."

"Moreover, if you are the leader of the Dawn Society, that means you are the one who sent people to attack the Federation delegation. Are you trying to start a war between the two countries?!"

Facing Huo Yuhao's questions, Xu Chengzhi showed a bitter smile, "The corresponding explanation should have been given by Mo Yan. Besides those reasons, there is also an important factor, which is that the Dawn Society also needs internal cleansing. Although I am the leader of the Dawn Society, when an organization grows large, there will always be different voices. I hope you can understand."

"And this time, the collaboration with the Douluo Federation to suppress the Dawn Society was led by those evil soul masters. They wanted to eliminate the last discord in Star Luo. If they succeed, Star Luo will become a living hell."

Huo Yuhao seemed not to have heard the last sentence and asked, "So? As the emperor of Star Luo, Your Majesty has placed all hope on another country?"

Seeing Huo Yuhao's unwavering attitude, Xu Chengzhi was emotional.

"Indeed, with the help of the Spirit Pagoda, the Dawn Society can launch an uprising within Star Luo, and the Douluo Federation can also take action. Once order is restored, both the Douluo Federation and the Spirit Pagoda will gain considerable benefits.

If the Holy Spirit Cult completely controls Star Luo, they will inevitably launch military actions against the Douluo Federation. Rather than that, it's better to place the war within our own territory, which is also a good thing for the Douluo Federation...."

At this point, Xu Chengzhi paused for a moment before continuing, "As the ruler of a country, I naturally do not want to sell out the nation's interests like this. But the reality is, if we don't do this, Star Luo will never have the chance to see the dawn..."

He spoke these words with genuine emotion, elaborating on the benefits of their cooperation from multiple perspectives such as interests and morality.

But by the end, Huo Yuhao just gently shook his head.

"If Your Majesty came here today just to discuss this matter with me, then there's no need to continue. The intelligence I have was all provided by you. Listening to one side's story, I cannot place my trust. Moreover, now that the Dawn Society is about to be suppressed from all sides, Your Majesty, as the leader, doesn't seem the least bit anxious, which puzzles me even more."

"Furthermore, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. If we cannot survive this crisis, nothing else matters. So, please first go and handle the Dawn Society's crisis with the Douluo Federation."

Hearing this, Xu Chengzhi narrowed his eyes, realizing that there was no hope of pulling the Spirit Pagoda into the game through Huo Yuhao.

Fortunately, he hadn't held much hope since the beginning. The core reason for approaching Huo Yuhao was for another matter.

"After Mo Yan mentioned the matter of the human elixir, you must have investigated it, right? What if I told you that the Douluo Federation and Shrek Academy are not to be trusted?"

Huo Yuhao paused, then turned to look at Xu Chengzhi, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

So, they want to pull Shrek Academy into the game?

Thinking of Star Luo's current situation, Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes.

No, because of the Tang Sect, Shrek Academy had already entered the game.

...

Watching Huo Yuhao leave, Mo Yan frowned and looked at Xu Chengzhi, "Your Majesty, is this really okay?"

Xu Chengzhi shook his head, "We can only choose the Holy Spirit Cult. False prosperity is still better than a completely destroyed country. If you truly expect Star Luo to see the dawn, that's impossible. Do you think anyone in the Douluo Federation would be willing to take on this mess?"

Knowing Star Luo's current situation, he was certain that they either had to continue down this dark path or start over from scratch.

"Alright, let's not mention this anymore. How is Secretary-General Pan doing?"

Mo Yan respectfully replied, "As you expected, he has discovered the problem with the Tang Sect!"

Hearing this, Xu Chengzhi showed a calm and elegant smile, "The Douluo Federation and Shrek Academy are at odds, and the conflicts between them have accumulated to a limit. Let's take this opportunity to hand them the knife…"
