"Alright then..."
Vina could only submit under the lewd power of Qin Xiao.
"I'll go find Elder Jin and the other Elders right now."
This time, Qin Xiao didn't stop her.
He believed that Jinpeng wouldn't dare to defy his will.
After Vina had left,
Qin Xiao began to get busy again.
This time he made a mask that looked exactly like himself.
Of course,
it was for the face of a Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device.
He wasn't foolish enough to put himself in the midst of the enemy camp.
Rather, he was going to use this Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device to face Dai Hao.
...
The next day,
early in the morning,
Jing Hongchen arrived early at the laboratory to find Qin Xiao.
He was quicker with his actions than his words.
Before noon, he had already handed over the Level 9 Array core to Qin Xiao.
"I have prepared everything you need for you, good luck."
"Remember to undertake only what you can manage, and don't be a hero. If worse comes to worst, wait until the actual battle breaks out, and you can still find a chance to slay him on the battlefield."
Jing Hongchen earnestly advised.
"Don't worry, I'm not so foolish as to recklessly seek life and death with him."
Qin Xiao still had a smile on his face, "To trade lives with him would be too unworthy."
That was the truth.
What level was Dai Hao?
Just a little Titled Douluo Level Xiao Karami.
How could he be worth trading lives with Qin Xiao?
He didn't even qualify.
Moreover, Qin Xiao wouldn't do things he wasn't certain about.
"All right, I've said my piece, and I trust you to make the right decision. If you can come back successfully this time, I promise you a place in the Sun-Moon Empire's core circle," Jing Hongchen promised resolutely.
"Core circle?" Qin Xiao's heart was unmoved after hearing this, he even felt like laughing.
What a joke that was.
He had never even considered it.
Besides,
his ambition was never about any Empire.
His enemies were not of this world.
"Alright, I'm off."
Qin Xiao waved goodbye to Jing Hongchen.
Five days later,
Qin Xiao arrived at the Ming Dou Mountain Range.
The armies of the Sun-Moon Empire and the Xingluo Empire stood off against each other, their tents as plentiful as the stars in the sky, stretching on for miles.
"Beyond this point is Xingluo Empire territory, you should not tread further," Qin Xiao turned and instructed Jinpeng and the others.
"It's just a minor Duke Bai Hu. Let us take action against him, and he won't stand a chance. He won't even make a ripple in my hands," Jinpeng proposed once again to take personal action.
As expected, he was once again rejected by Qin Xiao.
"That won't do."
Qin Xiao shook his head, "Let's not even talk about the issue of personal revenge. The Heavenly Soul, Dou Spirit, and Xingluo Empires are allies in name. If you attack that Dai Hao, it could very well lead to the dissolution of this alliance.
After all, 'Duke' is the face of the Xingluo Empire, and you're still supporting the Heavenly Soul Empire. A conflict could turn ugly and be difficult to retract."
Jinpeng disdainfully said: "So what about the Xingluo Empire? Now that the Sect Master has broken through to the Title Douluo of Level 99, he hardly has any equals left on Soul Land, and certainly no one in the Xingluo Empire can oppose him.
Killing Dai Hao is no big deal. If they dare to bare their teeth at us, I dare to kill even the Xingluo Empire's emperor, Xu Jiawei."
Qin Xiao: "..."
The eyes of the world are sharp. In his previous world, these folks from the Body Sect would have definitely been considered terrorist level existences.
Belligerent, cruel, and audacious.
There was no one they wouldn't dare to provoke.
Indeed, that was the case.
The Sun-Moon Empire, Shrek Academy, Aquipeia Forest... they would make enemies with anyone who was powerful.
Not a single issue there.
They were the bald-headed bros of Soul Land.
"Indeed, no one from the Xingluo Empire can stop you, but what about the Sun-Moon Empire? The crumbling of the Three Great Empires' alliance would be an excellent opportunity for the Sun-Moon Empire. They might just seize this opportunity to wage a war, and the Heavenly Soul Empire would suffer too."
Qin Xiao did hope for chaos in the world, but he didn't think the time was right.
Moreover, he didn't wish for everyone to just start fighting each other.
He wanted a unified target.
The Hao Tian Clan and Shrek Academy were enough.
If the scope of attack expanded, then any force that showed goodwill towards Shrek Academy and Hao Tian Clan could be targeted.
```
And now?
The Three Great Empires of Douluo had already fallen out with Shrek Academy.
This was something that could be used.
Why waste resources fighting the Sun-Moon Empire?
In Qin Xiao's heart, everyone's enemy should be the same.
He was unwilling to give up any power that could resist Tang San.
"Alright, no need for any more unnecessary words. Just follow the plan," he said.
"You all wait here for the response, and remember, if anything happens, try not to reveal your identities," he added.
After Qin Xiao had spoken, his figure disappeared into the night.
He infiltrated the fringes of the Xingluo Empire's army.
Finding a soldier about his height, he knocked him out and dressed himself in the soldier's uniform.
He had disguised himself as an ordinary soldier of the Xingluo Empire.
After everything was in place, he released a human-shaped Soul Master which had been modified.
Shrouded in a black robe, this human-shaped Soul Guidance Device showed only one face.
Upon closer inspection, it was a perfect likeness of Qin Xiao.
Of course, he wouldn't choose to expose himself to danger. What was the use of a human-shaped Soul Guidance Device?
The answer was to handle problems he couldn't afford to be seen handling himself.
To face Duke Bai Hu, using the human-shaped Soul Guidance Device was a better approach.
"Who are you!" someone exclaimed as the Soul Guidance Device approached.
Qin Xiao had equipped the device with a voice modulator after some alterations.
It wasn't difficult; it barely even counted as a First-Class Soul Device.
But it was very practical.
"Me, don't you recognize me?" it responded in kind.
The soldier who had discovered Qin Xiao was flabbergasted, "Who are you? Should I know you?"
"My name is Huo Yuhao… You may not know it, but others do," it said.
"Now go and inform him. Your Duke will come to greet me personally," Qin Xiao said indifferently.
"Who?" the soldier asked.
"Huo Yuhao!"
"H, Huo Yuhao!" the soldier exclaimed with a start. "You, don't go, I will go find someone to capture you. No, I mean I am going to inform Duke Bai Hu!"
Having said that, the soldier ran off swiftly.
...
Ming Dou Mountain Range.
In the army's main camp.
Dai Hao was somewhat anxious.
He paced back and forth within the camp and occasionally sighed deeply.
"Those guys haven't come back yet, something must have happened, right?"
"It shouldn't be the case. Two Soul Douluo Level powerhouses leading several Soul Sages and Soul Emperors to deal with a minor Soul King – what kind of problem could there be?"
"Even if they were discovered by the powerhouses of the Sun-Moon Empire, we should've gotten some message."
"Ah, this waiting is torturous. If I had known, I would have gone to the Sun-Moon Empire myself," Dai Hao sighed again.
In reality, he had guessed that those people were more likely dead than alive. But until the last moment, he didn't want to give up...
"My lord, my lord!"
"There's terrible news!"
Just then, a shriek came from outside the tent.
Upon hearing it, Dai Hao's mood darkened even more.
Damn it, there's never any good news.
It's either bad news or worse news...
It's really depressing.
"Get in here!" he bellowed outside the tent.
Interestingly enough,
the messenger outside literally rolled in.
This made Dai Hao both angry and amused.
Now they decide to be obedient.
He waved his hand irritably, "Speak up if you have something to say, let it out if you've got to fart, and then get lost."
The soldier, hearing this, didn't dare dawdle and hurriedly relayed his message, "Lord, there's a young man outside our camp. He says his name is Huo Yuhao!"
"What's so remarkable about a young man... wait, what did you just say?" Dai Hao suddenly jolted awake. "What's his name, say it again!"
