Chapter 73: Golden Mane Lion-mastiff And Thunderclap Hellvine
Hearing Huo Yuhao’s words, Xu Jiujiu’s azure blue eyes suddenly lit up, a bit excited.
Manyi saw her like this, and a faint smile appeared on her aged face; she hadn’t seen Xu Jiujiu so casual in Star Luo City for a long time.
She actually didn’t need to carry so many things on her shoulders, because her brother Xu Jiawei was in his prime, at the age for striving.
After Xu Jiujiu finished eating the grilled fish, she blinked her eyes contentedly and began trying to chat with Huo Yuhao:
“Mr. Gojo Satoru, where are you from?”
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, added some firewood to the campfire, and said:
“From Xuan Feng City in the Heaven Soul Empire.”
As one of the people Dai Hao trusted most in the Star Luo Empire, the princess also held some power.
To match this power, she had specifically studied the major cities and situation on the Douluo Continent.
Xuan Feng City, as a famous medicinal herbs trading city on the Douluo Continent, was an important city in the Heaven Soul Empire, but the main management rights were not in the hands of the Heaven Soul Empire.
The Heaven Soul Empire was quite miserable too; the largest plain in the empire, Heaven Dou Plain, was under Shrek Academy’s control.
The control of important medicinal herbs hubs like Xuan Feng City was in the hands of the Profound Nether Sect.
In the key northern city Dragon City, there were two major local powers: Earth Dragon Gate and Heaven Dragon Gate.
The old dragon of Heaven Dragon Gate was even a Titled Douluo with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.
Although Heaven Dragon Gate truly loved the Heaven Soul Empire from the bottom of their hearts, in the original work, to resist the Sun Moon Empire, many prodigies died in battle.
Even Titled Douluo died in the city defense campaign.
But Heaven Dragon Gate’s loyalty was only to the Heaven Soul Empire, not the royal family; the Heaven Soul Empire royal family alone had no way to forcibly command Heaven Dragon Gate.
Besides that, even Haotian Sect was located within the Heaven Soul Empire, not too far from Heaven Dou City!
Only Body Sect was truly loyal to the Heaven Soul Empire royal family.
With Body Sect, the Heaven Soul Empire royal family was not completely sidelined by these sects.
The Heaven Soul Empire’s royal family was also very perceptive; they had a clear understanding of their empire’s national conditions.
They tightly hugged Body Sect’s thigh to maintain their rule.
“Xuan Feng City, ah, I’ve long heard that the medicinal herbs industry there is very developed!”
“I’ve always wanted to go see it, but unfortunately, there hasn’t been any opportunity.”
Xu Jiujiu propped her elbows on her knees, hands supporting her chin, watching the flames rising continuously before her, her azure blue eyes tinged with a touch of golden yellow.
After hearing Huo Yuhao claim to be from the Heaven Soul Empire, Manyi glanced at Huo Yuhao but said nothing.
For her, the Heaven Soul Empire wasn’t an enemy, at least not currently.
In the future, if the Sun Moon Empire invades, the Heaven Soul Empire would be a reliable ally.
As for the Dou Ling Empire?
Manyi thought the Dou Ling Empire was the black sheep among the three kingdoms.
That group of bastards only indulged in debauchery domestically, letting the Heaven Soul Empire and Star Luo Empire bear the heavy burden forward.
Moreover, the nobles there particularly liked suppressing the geniuses within their borders.
Forcing refugees in their borders to flee to the other two major empires.
Yet when facing the Sun Moon Empire, they were the quickest to cower!
After winning, they were the first to shamelessly come lick the pot.
If it weren’t that the two major empires couldn’t spare hands, the first to be dealt with would be the Dou Ling Empire.
Xu Jiujiu thought for a while and said: “Mr. Gojo Satoru, are you interested in staying in the Star Luo Empire for development?”
“I know people in Star Luo City who can get you a position at Star Luo National Academy, or directly into the royal guard to take an important role.”
Xu Jiujiu wasn’t joking when she said this; if Huo Yuhao was willing to stay in the Star Luo Empire, she was really willing to give him strong support.
Because the Gojo Satoru that Huo Yuhao was disguised as was very young, probably not even in his twenties.
But his cultivation was unfathomable to Xu Jiujiu; she estimated he was a Soul Emperor strong person.
A Soul Emperor under thirty had a high probability of impacting Titled Douluo in the future, worth Xu Jiujiu pulling in.
Huo Yuhao shook his head to refuse; staying in Star Luo City held no benefit for him, and he’d even have to see that dog Dai Hao often.
He was afraid he wouldn’t hold back and capture Dai Hao for a big investigation with spiritual power.
In his plan, making a move on Dai Hao had to be after the ultimate insult to Dai Huabin and the White Tiger Duchess.
He would record the entire process of the ultimate insult, then make Dai Hao watch it harshly thousands of times, and distribute it for the world to appreciate.
Let the people of the Douluo Continent feel what kind of tough guy Dai Huabin really was.
In Huo Yuhao’s plan, Dai Huabin and the White Tiger Duchess must die!
They were the ones who caused his mother’s death, especially Dai Huabin’s beating, which Huo Yuhao still hadn’t forgotten.
So no one can save them, I am the Ye Ge of the Douluo Continent, I say so!
Seeing Huo Yuhao shake his head, Xu Jiujiu lowered her head regretfully and said:
“Alright.”
“Of course, if in the future you want to come to Star Luo City for development, those words still hold.”
With the topic ending, the sky grew darker; the moon was gradually obscured by thunderclouds, and the Catastrophe Mountain Range sank into a thick dark quagmire.
On a cliff about ten kilometers away from Huo Yuhao’s cave, a beast with golden fur all over its body bristling like spikes, its pitch black canine face looked into the distance.
It was none other than the Golden Mane Lion-Mastiff that Huo Yuhao had been searching for; it warily looked back toward the core area of the Disaster Mountain Range.
Violent gales and thunderbolts obscured the sight of all peepers.
What the world didn’t know was that the ten-thousand-year Golden Mane Lion-Mastiff had the wisdom of a normal ten-thousand-year soul beast before unleashing Overlord Domain.
Its heart was extremely urgent; it must find every way to grow stronger!
Because that Thunderclap Hellvine in the core area was almost at hundred thousand year!
Ten thousand years ago, it had eaten its offspring, leading to being hated by the other; over these ten thousand years, whenever the other found an opportunity, it struck the Golden Mane Lion-Mastiff with terrifying lightning.
At first, the Golden Mane Lion-Mastiff didn’t care; the other’s lightning power was strong, but couldn’t cause it too severe injuries.
Later, that Thunderclap Hellvine, out of grief and fury, absorbed the heaven and earth origin energy of the Disaster Mountain Range at all costs.
The Thunderclap Hellvine, which should have been destroyed by lightning tribulation upon reaching fifty thousand year cultivation, actually survived, cultivating to ninety thousand years through sheer hatred!
Now the other was at ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine years, just a little short of entering hundred thousand year level.
When the other breaks through to hundred thousand year, it will definitely trigger a super lightning tribulation; although the Thunderclap Hellvine can’t survive that destructive lightning tribulation.
But at all costs, it can forcibly borrow a bit of the super lightning tribulation’s power to attack.
The Golden Mane Lion-Mastiff had once witnessed the lightning tribulation that the fifty thousand year Thunderclap Hellvine endured; if it struck itself, it definitely couldn’t withstand it.
Not to mention this was a hundred thousand year level super lightning tribulation!
Just thinking of the other’s sky-high hatred, even if the Golden Mane Lion-Mastiff had no brains, it knew the other would definitely take it down with it!
The Golden Mane Lion-Mastiff didn’t want to die; it had tried escaping the Disaster Mountain Range, only to be forcibly pulled back by black chains formed from thunderclouds.
The other was clearly planning to kill it in the most miserable way on the day of breaking through to hundred thousand year.
It had no choice but to grow stronger by devouring all ten-thousand-year soul beasts in the Disaster Mountain Range, including many that had once submitted to it.
As long as it reached eighty thousand years! It was confident it could survive that super lightning tribulation with Overlord Domain!
Now, almost all ten-thousand-year soul beasts in the Disaster Mountain Range had been devoured by it, and it was only at fifty thousand years!
Devouring those thousand-year and hundred-year soul beasts was meaningless, adding hardly any cultivation.
Mass devouring would even pollute its origin with miscellaneous soul power and spiritual power.
Today, it accidentally discovered a very strong elderly human whose vast soul power inside could at least push it to break through sixty thousand years!
But the other was very alert, and its speed wasn’t fast enough to catch up.
It must find a way to drive the other to the core area, trapping them to death with those damn thunderbolts.
Otherwise, it would escape again like a hundred years ago with some weird human ability!
The Golden Mane Lion-Mastiff’s fierce gaze turned toward Manyi’s position, then it jumped off the cliff and ran toward the outskirts of the Catastrophe Mountain Range.
The surgery has already been arranged, starting tomorrow.
The expert said the early-stage throat cancer isn’t particularly serious and can be resolved with surgery; fortunately, it was discovered in time, a bit later and it would have been dangerous.
After going on shelves later, planning to open a side story about Huo Gu Shi flipping the car, Feng Jin unleashing Humanity’s Burning Incineration with the planet will’s help, Bai E incarnating as Gudako to save the singularity, Mash… just let Wan Di cosplay, doctor in his true colors, if you want to see it leave a comment, I’ll see if I can outline it.
Of course, the side story has nothing to do with the main line, purely a parallel world.
