Chapter 160 Attack on Mingde Hall! Searching for the Snow Emperor!
And at this moment...
After hearing Du Busi's arrangements, a hint of dejection and regret flashed in Long Aotian's eyes. However, as the sect's eldest disciple, who had been trained for many years, he was highly obedient to the sect.
He bowed to the Undying Poison to accept the order, then stepped aside.
Although he felt regretful that he could not fight alongside Liu Yuan, he still had to obey the sect's decision and stay at the mountain gate.
...
Meanwhile, Liu Yuan and his elite group, led by Du Busi, quietly left the Body Sect's mountain gate under the cover of night.
This team is small in number, but every member is a top expert within their sect.
Aside from Du Busi, a level 98 Super Douluo, the six elders who followed him all possessed cultivation levels above the Soul Douluo level.
Despite having the lowest soul power level among them, Liu Yuan was assigned to the core assault position, which shows how much Du Busi valued his combat strength.
The group traveled at full speed, avoiding checkpoints in major cities. Using the unique soul power concealment method of the Body Sect, they traversed most of the Heavenly Soul Empire in just a few days and successfully arrived at Mingdu, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire.
Night had just fallen.
Liu Yuan stood on a high slope on the outskirts of Mingdu, looking down in the faint moonlight.
The Mingdu before my eyes is completely different from any city that originally belonged to the Douluo Three Kingdoms.
Even in the dead of night, the city still exudes a cold, metallic, dark golden light.
The countless towering buildings are arranged in a well-organized manner, a product of the highly developed Soul Guidance Civilization.
Around the city walls, infrared rays emitted by densely packed soul-guided detectors crisscrossed in the darkness, like the tentacles of some giant monster, vigilantly sensing all soul power fluctuations within a radius of dozens of miles.
"This is Mingdu...the heart of the Sun and Moon Empire," Liu Yuan murmured, purple light swirling in his three pupils.
Poison Undying walked slowly to Liu Yuan's side, his large body resembling a heavy iron tower in the night.
He gazed at the brightly lit city center in the distance, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.
"If we go any further, we'll reach the densest soul-guided defense network on the entire continent."
Du Busi withdrew his gaze, waved to the elders behind him, and signaled them to gather around.
"Now, I will announce the next action plan."
The elders looked solemn, and Liu Yuan also put aside his distracting thoughts and listened attentively.
Poison Immortal stretched out his thick finger and drew a circle in the air: "Mingde Hall is located in the heart of Mingdu, and its defenses are extremely formidable."
"If we force our way in, even if we manage to break through, we may not be able to escape unscathed."
"Therefore, the core of this operation lies in 'feinting to the east while attacking in the west'."
"The plan is as follows: I will personally lead Elder Liu, Elder Chen, and two other elders to make the first move."
"Our target is not Mingde Hall, but the core soul-guided energy warehouses and power supply hubs around Mingdu. We will use the most violent methods to cause massive destruction around Mingdu and create the illusion that a powerful enemy is attacking Mingdu."
Du Busi looked at Elder Li and Liu Yuan, his tone becoming low and sharp: "Once the commotion here is big enough to draw Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming and other high-level combatants out of Mingde Hall to provide support..."
"Elder Li, Elder Wang, and Liu Yuan, the three of you will infiltrate the Mingde Hall and, during the brief moment when its defenses are in a vacuum, wreak havoc and seize the strategic resources I have entrusted to you."
"Liu Yuan, you're the weakest." Poison Immortal patted Liu Yuan's shoulder and whispered, "So, if anything goes wrong, don't linger in battle, run away immediately, understand?"
"Disciple understands," Liu Yuan replied in a deep voice.
"Alright! Since everyone has no objections, let's proceed according to plan! Half an hour later, I will light the fire in the North City!" Du Busi shouted, and then his figure transformed into a dark green stream of light, disappearing into the vast night. The four Title Douluos followed closely behind.
The three remaining elders, Li, Wang, and Liu, quickly concealed their auras and, like ghosts, stealthily moved towards the outer defensive positions of Mingdu.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Just as Liu Yuan and his two companions had crept into the shadows beneath the walls of Mingdu, an extremely dazzling dark green light suddenly shone in the northern sky.
"boom--!!!"
A deafening explosion came from dozens of miles away.
Immediately afterwards, a huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky, clearly indicating that Poison Undying had begun to make his move.
Du Bu Si held nothing back; he unleashed his signature move, the original form of a Douluo, sending three large soul guidance arrays in northern Mingdu flying into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, violent explosions and intense fluctuations of soul power came from other directions.
The once quiet capital city instantly erupted into chaos.
A piercing alarm blared through the sky, and countless red lights from the soul-detecting devices began to converge frantically to the north.
From the shadows, Liu Yuan clearly saw several extremely powerful auras soaring into the sky from the direction of Mingde Hall. The fat man leading them was surrounded by terrifying golden-red light; he was none other than Jing Hongchen, the master of Mingde Hall.
Behind that golden-red light, there were several deep, ocean-like auras, clearly the top soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire who were enraged by the commotion caused by Poison Undying.
"They've taken the bait," Elder Li said in a low voice, his eyes gleaming with fighting spirit. "Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming were indeed lured away. Liu Yuan, let's go! It's our turn to infiltrate Mingde Hall!"
"Walk!"
Liu Yuan didn't waste any words.
The fifth spirit ring beneath his feet glowed faintly, and his three pupils overlapped instantly.
Under the astonished gazes of Elder Li and Elder Wang, Liu Yuan did not search for the city gate or the sewage outlet, but instead reached out and made a gesture in the air in front of him.
A spatial rift, taller than a person, silently opened, and Liu Yuan was the first to step into it.
"Elders, follow us!"
With the help of the Three Pupils' absolute control over space, Liu Yuan and his two companions crossed the hundreds of meters of city wall without alerting any soul-guided detection devices, and appeared in the mechanical underground corridor of Mingde Hall.
"As previously agreed, we will split up, expand the scope of the sabotage, and draw the attention of the internal security forces."
Elder Li nodded to Elder Wang, then looked at Liu Yuan.
"Liu Yuan, be careful!"
"Don't worry, Elder, I know what I'm doing."
Elder Li and Elder Wang flashed and rushed towards two different core laboratories in an instant, constantly unleashing powerful soul energy along the way, shattering the delicate soul tool parts.
Liu Yuan stood in the middle of the empty alloy corridor, listening to the distant roar, but his expression became unusually calm.
He closed his eyes slightly, and the consciousness of Electrolux in his sea of consciousness instantly spread out.
Nourished by the Gold of Life, the divine consciousness, like an all-pervasive breeze, bypassed all soul-guiding traps and penetrated into the deepest part of Mingde Hall.
"Elder Yi, can you sense the aura of the Snow Empress that I told you about before?"
