Volume 34, Chapter 466.3: Ice Empress True Feelings (1/2)

Huo Yuhao was apologetic as he said, “I’m sorry! I couldn’t stop myself after going into cultivation. I only just woke up.”

Nan Qiuqiu was speechless, and silently thought to herself – it’s already very difficult for me to enter deep meditation, but this guy can do so at any time and anywhere he wants. It’s really frustrating!

“Alright. It’s good that you’re awake. How’s it? What have you gained?”

Huo Yuhao replied, “My soul power should have improved. I feel good. This is all because of Aunty. I have gained significant rewards from my venture into the Earthdragon’s Sect secret location this time. In the depths of that cold spring, there was something called Manifold Mysterious Ice Essence. For soul masters like me that cultivate Ultimate Ice, it’s extremely helpful. This is why I’ve benefited greatly this time.”

Nan Qiuqiu said, “That’s great then. Talking about it, thanks for the last time.”

Huo Yuhao was a little perplexed as he asked, “Thanks? What’s there to thank me for?”

“Thanks for abusing me, ”Nan Qiuqiu snapped.

Huo Yuhao was confused as he asked, “What? Abusing you? What are you talking about?”

Nan Qiuqiu snorted and replied, “You’re really so forgetful. Have you forgotten that you used your spiritual power to exert pressure on me? I didn’t have any feeling when I woke up the second day, but I’ve regained some sensation over the past few days. My spiritual control seems to have strengthened. It must be your doing. That’s why I’m thanking you.”

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, “I took seven days during my deep meditation this time. What has happened in the outside world?”

After hearing his question, Nan Qiuqiu straightened her face and nodded before replying, “For some unknown reason, the Sun Moon Empire brought a legion of troops and stationed them outside Dragon City.”

“A legion of troops?” Huo Yuhao was also astonished. Dragon City was basically the most northern part of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and it was also the largest city in the northeast of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Why did the Sun Moon Empire send troops here? Moving east from here, it’ll already be the Dou Ling Empire. Don’t tell me they’re making their move on the Dou Ling Empire before they’ve even occupied the entirety of the Heavenly Soul Empire?

“How many of them are there? Are there soul engineers?” Huo Yuhao asked.

Nan Qiuqiu shook her head and answered, “I’m not clear on the details yet. My mother and I are afraid that the other party has soul detectors. This is why we only watched from afar and didn’t dare to get too close. However, the troops appear to be very orderly, and there’s at least twenty thousand of them. I’m not sure if there are soul engineers. There should be some. Even a normal legion of the Sun Moon Empire will have some soul engineers to perform surveillance and aid the rest of the legion.”

Huo Yuhao nodded and said, “Since it’s so timely, I’ll go take a look too. I’ll go see what their plan is, and send a message to the Heavenly Soul Empire and Dou Ling Empire.”

“Alright. We’ll leave after you finish checking them out?”

Huo Yuhao answered, “Yes. We’ll see how it goes. Although there are only twenty thousand people in this legion, their fighting strength will be fairly great if they’re a soul engineer legion. I’ll need to find out their motives first before we talk about anything else.”

“Alright. I knew that you weren’t reliable.” Nan Qiuqiu twisted her lips.

Huo Yuhao was helpless as he smiled. “I’m hungry, Qiuqiu.”

“……”

When Huo Yuhao woke up from his cultivation, it was already noontime. Even he didn’t know how much his soul power had increased. It was at least Rank 75 or 76. He was fairly confident about this. Otherwise, he would have absorbed all the Manifold Mysterious Ice Essence for nothing.

After having some food, he silently left the city. Even though nighttime was the best time for him to perform his surveillance, he still had to get a grip on what was going on first.

Nan Shuishui was no longer in Dragon City. She had left Nan Qiuqiu behind to protect Huo Yuhao and left for Shrek Academy with the last batch of resources from the Earthdragon Sect. Regarding Huo Yuhao, she was very relieved. In Dragon City, there was hardly anyone who could threaten him, given his cultivation.

The gates of the Earthdragon Sect weren’t sealed just because of the arrival of troops. It was just the same as it was when Huo Yuhao first came.

According to Nan Qiuqiu, this Sun Moon Empire legion was stationed outside the city. As for their motive, it was unclear.

Huo Yuhao changed into an ordinary cloth shirt and used his Imitation to slightly change his appearance. He now looked like an ordinary person and snuck out of the city. To prevent drawing attention to himself, he didn’t leave the city through the northern city gate. Instead, he left from the eastern city gate. After leaving the city, he made his way to the northern city gate.

He unleashed his Spiritual Detection and started to scan the air.
