Seeing Qian Daoliu's death from afar, Bibi Dong felt a surge of excitement. The Angelic Armor in Hao Yun's hands also tempted her, but she knew that she couldn't defeat Hao Yun now. Even if she used all the members of the Spirit Hall, she probably wouldn't be able to stop him.
"Hahaha, let's go!"
The ground exploded, and Hao Yun disappeared from everyone's sight with a leap.
As Hao Yun left, Golden Crocodile Douluo roared with a gloomy expression.
"Bibi Dong! What are you doing? Why haven't you ordered this man to be executed!"
Bibi Dong smiled knowingly and turned to leave the venue.
With Qian Daoliu dead, the Elders' Hall exists in name only. If anyone dares to cause trouble again, Bibi Dong wouldn't mind killing them.
Those who belong to Qian Daoliu's side are now experiencing mixed emotions. In the past, with Qian Daoliu's support, they were able to go against Bibi Dong. Now that Qian Daoliu is dead, their future days will be difficult.
Among these people, some were already preparing to pledge allegiance to Bibi Dong. After all, they had known Bibi Dong's methods for so many years, and they were very familiar with her ruthless and merciless ways. If they did not pledge allegiance, she would find a way to kill them sooner or later.
Hao Yun was in a good mood after leaving Wuhun City. He followed the marks left by Tang San and tracked after them.
In less than an hour, Hao Yun found the Shrek Racing Team.
"How are you? Are you alright?"
The speaker was a master, who learned from Tang Hao that Hao Yun had stayed behind alone to hold off the pursuers.
"Of course not, Master. Can you help me determine how old these two soul bones are?"
Hao Yun took out the soul bone from his backpack and handed it to the master.
After some analysis, the master concluded that it was a left leg bone of a three-year-old Flame Lord and a right leg bone of a bird-type soul beast that was over twenty thousand years old.
As for what kind of soul beast it is, the master couldn't tell yet, but he was certain that the skill attached to this soul bone was related to speed.
Upon learning the age of the soul bone, Hao Yun lost interest. He still had a left arm bone that was over 60,000 years old and a torso bone that was 100,000 years old that hadn't fused yet. He didn't even look at soul bones that were only 20,000 to 30,000 years old.
"Ma Hongjun! Ma Hongjun!"
He shouted twice, and a chubby little boy rushed over.
"Boss, you wanted to see me?"
"Here you go, take it and absorb it."
Hao Yun tossed the left leg bone of the Flame Lord to Ma Hongjun, then looked at the right leg bone in his hand, wondering who to give it to.
Reaching out to catch the soul bone, Ma Hongjun was stunned. "This is the soul bone? Why is the Great Demon being so kind to me?"
"Is this really for me?"
Holding the soul bone in his hand, Ma Hongjun asked cautiously.
Hao Yun impatiently stretched out his hand, "If you don't want it, give it back to me, I'll give it to someone else."
"Yes, I want it! Thank you, boss."
Ma Hongjun happily ran off with the soul bone in his arms, while the master beside him couldn't help but remind Hao Yun of something.
"This soul bone is of very good quality and is a complete soul bone. The one you have in your hand is also suitable for you to use."
"Um."
Hao Yun casually agreed and looked at the group of seven resting not far away, where Ma Hongjun was showing off the soul bone.
"Zhu Zhuqing, come here for a moment."
With both soul bones given away, plus the three soul bones obtained in this competition, the Shrek Seven Devils now each have a soul bone.
Hao Yun hesitated as he took out the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone from his spatial backpack. He wondered whether he should absorb it or not, fearing that hunting Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts in the future would yield even better chest soul bones.
"Wait a minute, let me see your soul bone!"
The master who had been resting nearby got up and quickly walked over, standing next to Hao Yun and carefully examining the chest bone.
"Is this a soul bone from a hundred thousand years ago?"
As he spoke, the master's lips trembled; this was the first time he had ever seen a soul bone produced by a 100,000-year-old soul beast. This soul bone was truly magnificent; the bones on its torso resembled crystal-clear jade.
Compared to the master, Xiao Wu glared fiercely at Hao Yun.
Where did you get this?
"Nonsense! Of course it's from the sea. I spent half a year at sea to get it."
Tang Hao, who was lying on the carriage healing his injuries, glanced at Hao Yun with a complicated expression. This kid was really too abnormal. In just a few years, his strength had surpassed that of the older generation of soul masters.
Tang Hao glanced at Tang San with gentle eyes and smiled, thinking that his son was no less capable.
The seven people gathered around, marveling at the 100,000-year-old soul bone.
Dai Mubai's eyes changed. He had been hesitant about whether to follow Hao Yun, but now he made up his mind. Since the Great Demon King could kill a 100,000-year-old soul beast, he must have the strength to help him ascend the throne.
Chapter 75: The Plan Begins
Hao Yun eventually absorbed this 100,000-year-old soul bone, and his attribute values were boosted once again.
Hao Yun's four attribute values are currently close to 8,000, and he has completed half of the seventh chapter of the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon. Once he has fully mastered it, with the power of the three dragons upon him, his attribute values will immediately exceed 10,000.
After absorbing the soul bones, it was already dark. The seven-person group had long since finished absorbing their soul bones and were sitting by the campfire, chatting about the future.
"Boss, you're awake. Would you like some sausage?"
Oscar warmly invited Hao Yun to join them. They had just said that without the Great Demon King training everyone, they probably wouldn't have been able to win this continent-wide Soul Master Academy Tournament.
"No need, Dai Mubai. Have you told them what I told you?"
Hao Yun's words drew puzzled looks from the other six people. Dai Mubai quickly shook his head, indicating that he had not said that.
"Now that you're back at the academy, you've all graduated. I have something important to do, and I wonder if any of you would be interested in joining me?"
Tang San and Xiao Wu looked at each other. In fact, they had already planned to go on a trip after returning to the academy.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar are both rather lazy people and not very interested in the important matters Hao Yun mentioned.
Zhu Zhuqing remained indifferent, and it was unclear what she was thinking. Only Ning Rongrong seemed interested in what Hao Yun was saying.
After observing everyone's expressions, Hao Yun shook his head.
"I want to unify the continent. You should all know that Dai Mubai is the prince of the Star Luo Empire. We are going to cooperate. I will help him ascend the throne, and he will support me in unifying the continent."
Instantly, everyone's attention was drawn to this: What? Unify the continent!
"Surprised? Actually, someone has already been doing this. The Spirit Hall has long since sent spies to the two great empires. It is estimated that the great war will begin in a few years."
Tang Hao, who was lying in the car recovering from his injuries, suddenly got up and walked over.
"Are you telling the truth or lying?"
"Of course it's true. It's precisely because I've confirmed this that I want to unify the continent. I hope you can join me. If you refuse, I will show no mercy when we meet again!"
Everyone fell silent. They knew Hao Yun all too well; this great devil always kept his word.
“Ning Rongrong, you represent the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Go back and tell Sword Douluo that I killed Qian Daoliu. Whether he joins me or not is up to him to decide.”
Everyone present looked bewildered, except for Tang Hao, whose expression turned solemn and whose gaze towards Hao Yun changed.
"Master, please stop eavesdropping. I know you're from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. If you can persuade them to join me, we can all live in peace. If not..."
Hao Yun didn't continue speaking; he knew the master understood what he meant.
The master sighed, then nodded, indicating that he understood. He had no confidence at all in persuading his family, but he was still prepared to give it his best.
"Tang Hao, your Haotian Sect has been closed for long enough. If you don't show up now, then don't ever come out again."
The people present encompassed all the members of the three upper sects. Hao Yun planned to use them to build his initial base. If this failed, Hao Yun would immediately destroy them to avoid future trouble.
Without these Soul Masters, Hao Yun believed that the Star Luo Empire, led by Dai Mubai, would definitely be able to sweep across the continent.
"Little San, if you join, I can help you establish the Tang Sect. I'll provide the money and materials, and I won't interfere with the sect's management. What do you think?"
Tang San did not agree immediately, but glanced at his father.
"The deadline is when you return to Shrek Academy. If you don't agree, then we'll go our separate ways."
After Hao Yun left, everyone fell silent. Tang Hao decided to personally take Xiao San back to the sect. No matter what, he would join Hao Yun's team because his hatred for the Spirit Hall was too deep.
As for Ning Rongrong, she found her bodyguard and asked him to take her handwritten letter back to her father.
Time flew by, and a few days later everyone returned to Shrek Academy. Hao Yun and Dai Mubai were ready to leave.
Just as the two were preparing to head to the Star Luo Empire, Zhu Zhuqing caught up with them.
"Since you're going back, take me with you."
The two had already defeated their older brother and sister in the Continental Soul Master Academy Tournament, and the matter of succession to the throne had to be handled by the two of them personally.
Not long after the three left Shrek Academy, Ning Fengzhi arrived with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo to meet them.
"Here you are! Want to fight again?"
After Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai retreated to a safe position, Hao Yun faced the two Douluo directly.
"Not at all. We heard that you killed Qian Daoliu. It's not that we don't believe it, but this matter is really a bit unbelievable."
Under the protection of two titled Douluo, Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.
"It seems the Spirit Hall has blocked the news. You should recognize this, right?"
Hao Yun took out the Angelic Armor and waved it in front of the three of them.
Sword Douluo's expression changed slightly. Angelic Divine Armor, how did this thing end up in this kid's hands? Could it be that he really killed Qian Daoliu?
The three exchanged glances, and Ning Fengzhi's expression changed. He was on the side of the Heaven Dou Empire. If he cooperated with Hao Yun, it would be equivalent to joining the Star Luo Empire.
This involves many issues, such as resource allocation, which is extremely important for a sect.
"Still hesitating? Then let me tell you something. The crown prince you are currently supporting has already been replaced by the Spirit Hall. Actually, it doesn't matter whether you join or not. Even if I don't take action, I estimate that the Spirit Hall will find a way to destroy you in a while."
Standing still, Hao Yun stared at Ning Fengzhi with great interest, wanting to see how Ning Fengzhi would ultimately choose.
"Could you give me a little more time to think about it?"
"Sect Leader Ning, sometimes you only get one chance. I prefer to annihilate all three of your so-called Upper Sects, as this would be more beneficial to my plan."
After Hao Yun finished speaking, Ning Fengzhi's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
