activa-t Chapter 284 Conspiracy
Chapter 284 Conspiracy
Yan Lingshu looked at Rachel. She agreed with Rachel's idea, but the plan still carried some risk. "Wouldn't this be too obvious?"
"You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. If anything goes wrong, the captain will cover for you. I don't believe the hall master would send us to guard the warehouse for just an eighth-level soul tool. Rachel, go with your bad idea!" Lu Jiuyu chuckled, and the two hit it off immediately.
"No, if this continues, we'll be worn down and die inside this tortoise shell sooner or later! Captain, why don't we join forces and break out?" The speaker was a middle-aged man, a level 65 Power Attack-type Battle Soul Emperor named Wang Qian.
A strange light flickered in Wang Qiu'er's eyes. "Wait a moment. This isn't the best time to break through. Pass down the order: in thirty seconds, attack together!"
"Captain, I've discovered a flaw in this soul tool. Every time it withstands an attack, the light membrane fluctuates for a fleeting moment, Captain..."
"I know.",
The Golden Dragon Spear shone brightly in Wang Qiu'er's hands once again. Golden blades of light rained down on the light membrane, causing the blue light screen to ripple. In just a few breaths, it turned into a thin layer of light membrane, seemingly easily broken.
However, as soon as Rachel and her group disrupted everyone's attack rhythm, the light screen immediately returned to normal.
Seeing that the group had already figured things out, Rachel continued, "It seems they can figure things out even without us going easy on them. Old Lu, what do you think, should we step in and speed things up?"
Lu Jiuyu shook his head and looked at Gu Ying in the crowd. "The enemy team has four Soul Saints and one Soul Douluo. Even if all of us attack, we might not be able to stop them. But they dare not attack because a Soul Douluo's attack is very loud. Once he attacks, the Holy Spirit Cult will immediately notice. Don't forget, we are cooperating with the Holy Spirit Cult in this operation."
"It's only a matter of time before this soul tool is breached, but if those four Soul Saints and Soul Douluos get involved, our plan will definitely fail, and we might even alert another group. Although I'm not sure if there is another group, I'm certain that Shrek Academy and the three great empires will not simply send out such a small number of people."
Rachel looked at Yan Lingshu and continued, "Yan Lingshu, send a message to the Holy Spirit Cult and tell them to send more people. We've captured some Shrek Academy members; they have one Soul Douluo and four Soul Saints. Make sure they reach the third sentry post before the soul tool is breached. Their mission is to snipe those five people; the rest are to break through. If the Holy Spirit Cult members don't follow orders, just notify the captain."
"Received!" Yan Lingshu did not linger and then quietly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Why do I feel so uneasy..." Huo Yuhao became more and more uneasy the closer he got to Mingdu. He didn't know why he felt this way.
"Brother Tianmeng, are you there?" Huo Yuhao called out tentatively.
"Little Yuhao, what do you need, brother?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm dragged its fat body and turned over in Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness.
"Brother Tianmeng, why do I always feel uneasy? Am I...?" Huo Yuhao felt that this feeling of unease was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had felt this way before.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm spoke up, "Have you encountered some powerful enemy?"
"No, we haven't been exposed yet. Even if we were discovered by accident, we immediately took action to cut off any possibility of the information leaking out. We haven't found any signs of being followed along the way, but for some reason, I'm getting more and more uneasy... it's like..."
"You mean the last time we came here, right..." Hyotei looked at Huo Yuhao, "I don't know why, but I had a vague feeling that way too, like we became the prey..."
prey?
We became the prey!
This is a terrifying thing. For Huo Yuhao, it is normal that the Sun Moon Empire guessed that they might send people to rescue them or find out the location of the hostages. Huo Yuhao is only afraid of one thing.
That means they had already exposed themselves, and the other side was just playing along, waiting for them to take the bait.
"I don't know why, but that human kid from last time felt very familiar to me. I sensed a familiar aura about him." Hyotei said slowly, recalling her last trip to Meido.
"Ice Emperor, are you saying that Luo Yu and I met a long time ago?" These words struck Huo Yuhao's mind like a thunderbolt, leaving him stunned and unable to calm down for a long time.
"During the last battle in Mingdu, I felt that this kid's aura was very strange. It didn't seem like he was from the Holy Spirit Cult, but it was very similar to the Holy Spirit Cult. But what's even stranger is that I must have come into contact with this aura on one of your students before." Hyotei had always had this doubt, but she had always suspected that it was the Holy Spirit Cult who was behind it. However, after the last real battle, she became even more certain of her thoughts.
"Let's not talk about these things now, Yuhao. Mingdu doesn't recommend you go. Actually, you've already figured out the hostage's location along the way. I don't think you need to continue. After all, you know how terrifying that guy and those people are..." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm didn't want Huo Yuhao to take the risk, because if Huo Yuhao died, he would die too.
"Yuhao, Yuhao..." Beibei called out as she looked at Huo Yuhao, who was deep in thought.
Upon hearing Bei Bei's voice, Huo Yuhao immediately withdrew from his sea of consciousness and asked, "Senior Brother, is there something you need?"
"We've lost contact with Wang Qiu'er, and judging from where they lost contact, it's near Mingdu. We can now be certain that the hostages are in Mingdu, but this operation has to end here. The remaining rescue efforts are beyond our capabilities. However…"
Beibei's expression was a little strange, as if she had something difficult to say.
Huo Yuhao looked at Bei Bei, frowning slightly. He could roughly guess who it was about, so he asked, "Senior Brother, are you talking about news about Su Yu?"
Bei Bei looked at Huo Yuhao with a solemn expression: "Gather the people of our Tang Clan. San Shi has something to say, so don't say anything else. After all, this is our private matter."
Half an hour later.
"Sanshi, tell me, what's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?" Beibei asked Xu Sanshi.
Xu Sanshi: "Let me state this in advance: this news is just a rumor. You should be prepared."
"Xu Sanshi, are you going to talk or not?" Jiang Nannan asked Xu Sanshi with some doubt.
The latest novel is first published here!
"Speak, Senior Brother Xu, I can handle it."
Wang Dong'er had a vague idea of what was going on, but she wasn't sure what could have made Xu Sanshi so serious.
Xu Sanshi paused for a moment, then continued, "Well, I'll tell you. About five days ago, the Star Luo Empire asked Luo Jing, who had just graduated from Shrek Academy, to assist in the investigation. They found quite a few things at the Su family's residence. Although they didn't find any substantial evidence, according to information from our family, it seems there are other clues."
"The three great empires are now discussing how to deal with Su Yu. According to the information from our family, it seems that they have found the whereabouts of Number One. Moreover, the three great empires are now negotiating with Shrek Academy, but it seems that Shrek Academy has not intervened and has decided to let the three great empires give a result of their discussion before taking any further action."
Xu Sanshi's words were like a bolt from the blue. The surprised expressions on everyone's faces froze instantly. He Caitou's eyes widened and his mouth was slightly open, as if he had been shocked by an invisible force and could not make a sound.
The air around them seemed to tense and freeze. Huo Yuhao remained silent for a long time before slowly asking, "There's something I'm not sure if I should say..."
Bei Bei's expression was complicated. He looked at Huo Yuhao's unpredictable eyes and hesitated for a long time.
In the end, only a helpless sigh remained: "Yuhao, you say it."
"Anyway, everyone knows it's only a matter of time. News has come from the Star Luo Empire that Su Yu may have completely defected to the enemy. However, this is just speculation from the Star Luo Empire. According to the latest news from the Star Luo Empire and the news from Senior Brother Xu's family, Uncle Su and Aunt Su are very likely still alive. Moreover, the first experimental subject is very likely still at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. Of course, this is just speculation from the three empires, and there is no substantial evidence yet. But one thing is certain: Su Yu's parents are alive and well and have settled in Mingdu of the Sun Moon Empire."
Huo Yuhao briefly relayed the message conveyed by Xu Sanshi. Based on the current situation, Huo Yuhao's instincts told him that Su Yu had already betrayed them.
Xiao Xiao was silent for a moment, then asked, "Then what about the attack on the Su family by the Holy Spirit Cult, was that also...?"
"That's right, it's fake too. Most of the people who died in the Su family had been spotted in the Sun Moon Empire. As for how they got out, the Star Luo Empire hasn't found out yet. However, I'm very curious why Su Yu would do this. If he really wanted to join the Sun Moon Empire, he would be someone who is definitely no weaker than Luo Yu. But why would he betray us at this point..."
Beibei couldn't understand it. He had clearly seen in Su Yu back then the hope for Shrek Academy's rise, the future of the three great empires, and the potential to rival Luo Yu, hailed as the "Light of the Sun and Moon" by the people of the Sun Moon Empire. But all of this had changed too quickly!
"I think the vice class monitor must have his reasons. After all, everyone has seen what the Star Luo Empire did back then, but..." Xiao Xiao couldn't continue.
A moment of silence fell over the crowd. They didn't know how to face Su Yu, nor whether they should carry out the order to hunt him down if they received it from Shrek Academy... (End of Chapter)
