Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 500 Elder Xuan, do you want to kill us?

Bang bang bang!
The explosion echoed through the sky.

Flames flickered and thick smoke billowed, obscuring the vision of Huo Yuhao and his group. However, thanks to Huo Yuhao's shared mental detection, even though the smoke and flames had not completely dissipated, the scene inside the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield was transmitted into everyone's minds without any discrepancy.

Aside from Xuanzi, who was continuing to fall but desperately trying to squeeze out the soul power stored within his martial soul to continue flying, all the other elders were injured in the explosion. They were all pale-faced, with blood at the corners of their mouths, and their auras were somewhat weakened.

The other elders were surprised that, at this crucial moment, Elder Xuan, on whom so much hope was placed, would falter.

With the strength of these elders, if they had made sufficient preparations, they wouldn't have ended up in this situation facing the attacks from the Evil Lord's Soul Guidance Corps' soul-guided cannons.

However, because of their trust in Xuanzi, they lowered their guard and basically left their defense to Xuanzi, which allowed them to be successfully ambushed by a barrage of soul-guided cannonballs, resulting in their injuries.

"Elder Xuan, do you want to kill us?" Yan Shaozhe said angrily.

He had no idea what Xuanzi was doing. Everyone was working together to break the light barrier, but Xuanzi stopped without even saying a word and even withdrew his Martial Soul True Body. This caught the elders off guard and caused them to get injured.

He wouldn't let it go until Xuanzi gave an explanation. Although the situation was critical and getting out of the light barrier was everyone's common goal, Xuanzi's actions just now were too strange and made him uneasy.

There are quite a few elders who share Yan Shaozhe's views.

A crisis of trust is imminent.

At this moment, Xuanzi suddenly felt that the seal on his soul core had been broken again. Abundant solid soul power particles, like waves, swept out from his soul core, nourishing his limbs and bones.

He felt as if he were in a hot spring, and the feeling of being full of soul energy made him extremely comfortable.

He stopped his fall and rushed upwards. Looking at the injured elders, he felt ashamed. He knew that he had to give an explanation no matter what.

After all, the other elders got injured because they messed up.

So while dodging the dense artillery fire, he anxiously explained, "How could I possibly want to kill you! The reason I stopped and even deactivated my Martial Soul True Body just now was because I was attacked by Huo Yuhao, which greatly reduced the amount of soul power I could use. Without enough soul power to support me, I was forced to stop, and I couldn't even maintain my Martial Soul True Body, which led to your injuries."

"Attacked by Huo Yuhao?" Yan Shaozhe laughed in anger. "Elder Xuan, do you think I'm a three-year-old? I admit that Huo Yuhao is an unparalleled genius. In the Douluo Continent today, among Soul Masters under the age of twenty, Huo Yuhao is undoubtedly the number one in terms of strength and talent!"
If Huo Yuhao were at Shrek Academy, he would likely have had a better chance of development, and might even have had the opportunity to become the head of the Sea God Pavilion in the future.

But what is Huo Yuhao's strength now? What is your strength? Even if Huo Yuhao were really at the border of the Sun Moon Empire, could he still attack you to this extent? Although the Sun Moon Empire's propaganda claimed that you were captured by Kong Deming and Huo Yuhao together, I have always believed that this was false propaganda by the Sun Moon Empire to glorify Huo Yuhao!

"Master Xuan, you should speak the truth instead of using clumsy lies to cover up the reasons behind your strange actions just now. I hope there can be more sincerity and less deception between us!"

“Yes, Elder Xuan, Shao Zhe is right. We hope you will tell the truth,” Cai Meier said, somewhat dissatisfied.

As for the other elders, they expressed similar sentiments to Yan Shaozhe and his wife. Xuanzi's face was grim, somewhat frustrated. He had tried his best to tell the truth; strictly speaking, he had indeed been attacked by Huo Yuhao, otherwise the soul core seal could not have been triggered.

Of course, he couldn't tell others that he had been sealed with a soul core, as this would definitely accelerate the other elders' distrust of him, further widening the rift in trust within the team, and could even cause him to lose his qualification to become the next Sea God Pavilion Master.

Of course, after his soul core was sealed and he was released back to Shrek Academy, he had considered asking Elder Mu for help to remove the seal. However, after thinking about it carefully for a while, he felt that Elder Mu could not help him solve this problem.

He had known Elder Mu for many years, and he knew Elder Mu's strength better than anyone.

No one understands Elder Mu better than him!
If we were to put Elder Mu in a fight, he would indeed be a formidable opponent. Although, given his current physical condition, fighting could very well lead to his rapid demise, this should not negate his strength.

Of course, asking Elder Mu to solve the problem of the soul core seal would be putting Elder Mu in a difficult position.

"Okay, I'll tell you the truth. I was ambushed by Kong Deming just now," he said with a hint of helplessness.

Since no one would believe him if he told the truth, he had no choice but to lie in order to regain the trust of the other elders.

Yan Shaozhe's expression softened slightly, but he was still somewhat dissatisfied: "Elder Xuan, you should have told the truth earlier. Why did you frame Huo Yuhao? I know you are quite dissatisfied with Huo Yuhao's victory, but you shouldn't have thrown mud at him!"

Xuanzi was extremely frustrated, thinking to himself that Yan Shaozhe had said all the nice and bad things.

However, he did not refute it. Instead, he transmitted his voice to the elders: "Next, everyone, ignite the flame of life. Once the flame of life is ignited, our strength will increase dramatically. Kong Deming's strength and arrangements are beyond my imagination. If we want to get out of here, we will have to pay a price. I guarantee with my integrity that this time, we can definitely break through the encirclement!"

The other elders agreed without hesitation. After all, the longer they were trapped in the light barrier, the more unfavorable the situation would be for them. Although burning the flame of life would come at a great cost, it would also bring a temporary surge in strength.

As for Xuanzi, he felt that his physical condition had recovered somewhat compared to the last time he burned the Flame of Life. As long as he burned the Flame of Life, he could instantly reach the strength of a Limit Douluo. At that time, could that Soul Core Seal still restrict him?
Of course, in order to reduce the risk of the soul core being detonated and to minimize the losses caused by burning the flame of life, he decided to control the burning time of the flame of life within a reasonable range as much as possible.

In the clouds not far away.

Huo Yuhao used the shared mental detection to take in all the words and actions of the Shrek elders. He felt that the time was ripe and it was time for Feng Ling to take the stage.

The next target is Yan Shaozhe.

So he sent a telepathic message to Kong Deming: "Elder Kong, I will have Feng Ling take the stage later and, in front of everyone, have her bring Yan Shaozhe out of the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield. At this time, I will need you to make an exception for me."

Before the Shrek elders arrived, Huo Yuhao, who had already reached the border between the Sun and Moon, explained to Kong Deming his relationship with Feng Ling and why Feng Ling was willing to do things for him.

Kong Deming smiled slightly and nodded: "Okay."
