Feeling the pursuer's presence fading away behind him, Huo Yuhao gasped for breath and shouted towards Qian Yu ahead, "Qian Yu! Stop running! They... they're not chasing us anymore!"
Qian Yu, ahead, gave Huo Yuhao a look that one gives to an idiot upon hearing the words...
Then, directly ahead, Qian Yu opened a Nether Vortex and swiftly entered it...
Huo Yuhao reached out his hand and called out, "Qian Yu, wait for me!"
However, after Qian Yu entered, the Nether Vortex disappeared without a trace...
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth and cursed, "Damn it! Qian Yu, acting like this isn't befitting of an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion."
This guy definitely did it because he knew I had the Gate of the Undead and could come and go as I pleased. That's why he did it on purpose!
But then the thought occurred to him that he had not killed Dai Hao this time, next time, he definitely would not let them go!
The Skydream Ice Silkworm in his mind spoke up, "Yuhao, if you really do want to take down that Dai Hao, you might as well wait until you break through to the Soul Douluo rank. By then, even if he has reached the Hyper Douluo rank, he will be no match for you!"
The Ice Emperor also chimed in, "That's right! Yuhao, your advantages are the Soul Ring Configuration and Spirit Soul, these are your strongest assets!"
Huo Yuhao suddenly had an epiphany, he had actually forgotten about using the Spirit Soul!
He had rarely used it in front of other Soul Masters, it could be said that, besides Qian Yu and ferocious beasts like Di Tian, no one else knew about the Spirit Soul at all!
Just now, if he had used Soul Power, he could have killed Dai Hao at lightning speed, instead of allowing him to narrowly escape with his life like now!
Shaking his head to clear those thoughts away, Huo Yuhao's feet generated a grey Soul Ring, which then lit up...
Huo Yuhao then shouted, "Gate of the Undead, open!"
The massive Gate of the Undead swung open instantly, and Huo Yuhao stepped through. Right after the Gate of the Undead closed, it vanished...
...
The colossal Gate of the Undead and the Nether Vortex suddenly appeared within the Shrek Academy Inner Court, and the strange spectacle immediately caused an uproar amongst the inner court students...
In a moment, dozens of Shrek Academy Inner Court students crowded around it, their gazes fixed intently on the two phenomena that had appeared...
"I know this, that Nether Vortex seems to be Elder Qian Yu's Spatial Soul Skill!"
"Dumbass, who doesn't know that's Elder Qian Yu's soul skill, but what about that big door filled with the aura of death next to it? Could it be that an evil Soul Master is planning to ambush us?"
"Everyone, be ready to fight, don't let your guard down!"
As the words fell, these inner court students released their Martial Souls, and Soul Rings of various counts rose at their feet...
If an evil Soul Master were to emerge from the gate, they would strike immediately...
Bei Bei and others who arrived shortly afterward urgently said, "Stop, they are not enemies!"
Tang Ya spoke softly, "Don't fight, they are our own people!"
With Tang Ya and others speaking up, the Shrek Academy Inner Court students hesitated for a few seconds and then retracted their Martial Souls and Soul Rings...
Xu Sanshi breathed a sigh of relief and complained, "Yuhao's gate really can't avoid attracting attention no matter what, but why would Qian Yu and Yuhao come back together?"
Jiang Nannan quietly approached Tang Wutong and whispered, "They must have just happened to bump into each other. With Qian Yu's personality, it's almost impossible for him to take the initiative to find Huo Yuhao, right, Wu Tong?"
Tang Wutong's Beautiful Eyes showed a hint of surprise, "Hmm? Sister Nannan, why are you asking me? I'm not sure either."
Jiang Nannan stuck out her clever tongue and chuckled, "Take a guess!"
```
Elder Qian Yu's figure slowly emerged from the Nether Vortex, his gaze deeply scrutinizing the Gate of the Undead beside him…
Although Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul only had one Soul Ring, it felt no weaker than his own First Martial Spirit!
Next to him, the Necromancy Gate made a "Crack" sound as it slowly opened to reveal nothingness…
Suddenly, a figure stepped out from inside, and it was Huo Yuhao, covered in wounds!
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and looked ahead, only to find that the inner court students, including Tang Ya and others, were all staring intently at him…
Feeling extremely embarrassed, he said, "Uhm… What's everyone staring at me for?"
He cursed inwardly, "Why did Qian Yu teleport directly to the very center of Shrek Academy's inner court, isn't this letting everyone know he possesses an Evil Martial Soul?"
These Shrek Academy Inner Court students, upon seeing Huo Yuhao coming out from the Necromancy Gate, were all astonished, exclaiming, "It's Huo Yuhao, does he also have an Evil Martial Soul like Elder Qian Yu?"
"But Elder Qian Yu has profound strength and can suppress the negative influences brought by the Evil Martial Soul, this Huo Yuhao…"
"He hasn't been influenced into becoming an evil Soul Master, has he?"
"What should we do? Nowadays, evil Soul Masters are executed upon discovery!"
Ma Xiaotao explained indifferently, "Don't worry, fellow juniors and sisters. With Elder Qian Yu here, Yuhao's Evil Martial Soul has been completely suppressed!"
Although this was somewhat fabricated, it was a way to reassure the inner court students…
With the guarantee from a powerful inner court student like Ma Xiaotao, everyone else also calmed down…
"So that's the case, I was wondering why Huo Yuhao would dare to use such a malevolent soul skill. Turns out it's been suppressed!"
"In that case, let's disperse for now, it's a bit too crowded here."
"Let's break it up; you scared me, I thought an evil Soul Master was lurking!"
Bei Bei asked, "Qian Yu, Yuhao, where did you two go?"
Qian Yu glanced at Huo Yuhao and casually replied, "I went to Xingluo Empire to pick up Fan Yu and Xuan Ziwen."
Facing Bei Bei's inquiry, Huo Yuhao's complexion turned somewhat ugly, "I…"
Tang Ya said with concern, "Yuhao, you didn't go to the Xingluo Empire alone to seek revenge against the Duke White Tiger, did you?"
The other Tang Sect Members also looked towards Huo Yuhao, squinting their eyes as they queried, "Yuhao? Is that so?"
Xu Sanshi said irritably, "Yuhao, if you really went to seek revenge, didn't you say you'd take us with you? That's a Titled Douluo we're talking about!"
Although he said this, one could faintly sense the concern in his words…
Jiang Nannan's beautiful eyes were also fixed on Huo Yuhao as she said seriously, "If something had happened to you Yuhao, we all would have felt very guilty!"
Huo Yuhao, wanting to explain, swallowed hard and apologetically said, "I'm sorry... everyone, for making you worry!"
Tang Ya sighed, "Don't do this again next time! But Yuhao, did you succeed in your revenge?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's eyes once again filled with a touch of murderous intent as he said coldly, "I was so close, if it wasn't for the other Title Douluos from Xingluo Empire showing up…"
Seeing that Huo Yuhao's mood was off, Bei Bei immediately changed the subject, "Now that we're all here, let's go to the Tang Sect right away. I heard that everything is almost ready there!"
Everyone replied in chorus, "Mm!"
