Douluo: When Tang Wulin Met Little Huo Niang

Chapter 98 Mingdou Mountains
The next day, everyone gathered at the gate of Shrek Academy. The members included not only the fourteen students from the regular team and the reserve team, but also the team leader Wang Yan.

Ten days from now the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition will begin, so they have to set off as soon as possible.

After a while, Xuan Zi's staggering figure appeared in front of everyone and waved to them.

"Let's go. We need to go somewhere else before we go to Xingluo City to participate in this competition."

Hearing him say this, the members of the Shrek reserve team couldn't help but look puzzled.

There are only ten days left, where are they going?

Xuan Zi did not explain, but just led the way at a leisurely pace, controlling the speed to a level that everyone could just keep up with if they tried their best.

In the end, it was Zhang Zehao from the Soul Guidance Department who took the initiative to explain to the people in the reserve team.

"The members of our regular team are all members of the Shrek Supervisory Group. This time we are going to the Mingdou Mountains to wipe out a bandit group called the Death Hand. This bandit group is very cunning, and there are even reliable reports that there are evil soul masters among them."

"Evil Soul Master?!"

Hearing this word, the faces of several people in the reserve team suddenly changed.

There are many forces on this continent, and the intrigues between different forces never stop, but there is only one group that is the eternal enemy of everyone, and that is the evil soul masters.

Such people are extremely cruel. They dare to do anything evil to increase their own strength. Just by living, they are a danger to others.

In fact, Tang Wulin didn't know much about the Sun-Moon Empire, but at least the three original kingdoms had always ranked the bounty for the evil soul master wanted order the highest.

Tang Wulin couldn't help but ask:

"Is that bandit group difficult to deal with?"

The one who answered him was Dai Yaoheng.

He smiled gently.

"Of course not. As far as I know, the strongest among them is not even at the Soul Emperor level. They can bully ordinary people, but they will definitely die if they face a regular army."

His smile was very kind, as if the murderous intent in his eyes before had never existed.

The reason why he showed hostility towards Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong at that time was because of Dai Huabin's matter, but it was not because he loved his brainless brother so much. It was simply because Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong forced Dai Huabin to drop out of school and hurt the reputation of the Duke's Mansion. As the current first-in-line heir to the White Tiger Duke, Dai Yueheng naturally did not have a good impression of them.

But after yesterday's battle, all his dissatisfaction disappeared.

The Soul King-level Great Soul Masters and the Soul Emperor-level Soul Masters are too amazing, which is unprecedented even in the history of the academy.

Dai Yaoheng is different from the brainless Dai Huabin. When facing opponents like Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong, the first thing he thinks about is not how to defeat them, but how to bring them under his command.

Even if he couldn't bring them into his sphere of influence, given their talents and abilities, simply making friends with them would be very beneficial to him.

It is precisely because of this trait that Dai Huabin does not have that he can sit firmly on the throne of the first heir even though he is not as talented as Dai Huabin, and he can suppress the fool Dai Huabin completely.

Xu Sanshi asked curiously:

"Then why didn't the Xingluo Empire send troops to solve the problem, but let our Shrek Supervisory Group intervene?"

After all, letting Shrek intervene is already an interference in internal affairs, and few countries are willing to see this happen.

Therefore, normally, for troubles like the Hand of Death that can be solved by their own armies, the three empires would give priority to using their own armies to solve them.

Dai Yuheng sighed.

"This is because the bandit group called the Hand of Death is very cunning. They set up their base between the Mingdou Mountains, at the border between the Xingluo Empire and the Sun-Moon Empire. Whenever our army shows any signs of trouble, they immediately abandon their base and retreat to the Sun-Moon Empire. If we forcibly send troops again, it would be a provocation to the Sun-Moon Empire. It is precisely because of this method that they have been able to survive until now." Hearing this, Tang Wulin asked doubtfully:
"Then the Sun-Moon Empire won't care? This is an evil soul master, the common enemy of all mankind. They should send troops together with the Star Luo Empire to wipe him out, right?"

Dai Yaoheng looked depressed.

"My father has applied to the Sun-Moon Empire many times, but for some reason, the Sun-Moon Empire always responded vaguely. Some people speculated that maybe the Sun-Moon Empire wanted to use the Death Hand bandit group to distract my father. But this doesn't make sense. If the Sun-Moon Empire wasn't protecting them, the Death Hand would just be a guy that we can easily deal with in the Xing Luo Empire. How could it have any impact on my father?"

"..."

Tang Wulin's face looked somewhat gloomy.

He was a member of the Sun-Moon Federation ten thousand years later, so he had an innate high liking for the Sun-Moon Empire.

However, hearing this, he suddenly felt betrayed.

No matter what the reason was for the Sun-Moon Empire's refusal to cooperate with the Star Luo Empire to clean up the Hand of Death, their behavior of shielding the evil soul master was indefensible.

Tang Wulin was very disappointed that they would protect such an anti-human existence.

Noticing that Tang Wulin was in a bad mood, Huo Yutong hurriedly squeezed his hand worriedly.

Tang Wulin came back to his senses and smiled at her.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

He took a deep breath, his eyes determined.

Although he is a citizen of the Sun-Moon Federation ten thousand years later, the Sun-Moon Empire ten thousand years ago is obviously very different from the Sun-Moon Federation, and he cannot impose his own expectations on this country.

But Huo Yutong was still a little worried, so she turned to Zhang Zehao and asked:
"Senior, how are we going to solve the problem of eating?"

Zhang Zehao shrugged.

"We should use local materials, right? Survival in the wild is a basic skill for us in the Shrek Supervisory Group."

Huo Yutong asked:
"When we eat later, can we eat by the stream where there are fish?"

"No problem. I'll go discuss it with Master Xuan."

After saying that, Zhang Zehao suddenly accelerated, went to the front of the team and started talking to Xuanzi.

The others were still a little confused, but Tang Wulin's eyes lit up.

"Yutong, you...?"

Huo Yutong gave him a warm smile.

"I'll grill some fish for you later. Don't be sad, Wulin. You look best when you smile."

"……Thanks."

Tang Wulin was somewhat touched.

It was his greatest luck to meet a girl like Huo Yutong and fall in love with her.

Huo Yutong's gentle comfort made him put aside his doubts and dissatisfaction for a moment, but the seeds of doubt were planted. When he discovered the truth in the future, these seeds would break out of the ground and completely change his view of the Sun Moon Empire.
