Huo Yuhao estimated that at Xue Di and Zhongli Yu's current flight speed, it would take less than two days to reach the battle site. Arriving at the battlefield earlier would an fewer potential complications.
As the four of them took to the sky, so of the ill-intentioned individuals in the city who coveted the three beauties had to imdiately dismiss their sordid thoughts. Experts of this caliber were people they absolutely could not afford to provoke.
It turned out that being carried through the air was a wonderful feeling. Although Huo Yuhao's overall combat power was comparable to a Limit Douluo, he was still a Soul Emperor. Limited by the abilities of his cultivation level, he couldn't fly for long periods and could only be carried by Zhongli Yu.
Xue Di was responsible for flying with Die Qiu. Her strength was greater than Zhongli Yu's, so the important task of protecting Die Qiu fell to her.
Although Xue Di was a bit jealous that Zhongli Yu could hold Huo Yuhao while flying, the safety of the Auspicious Beast was more significant to the soul beast lineage.
The four of them hadn't been flying for long when Huo Yuhao suddenly seed to sense sothing. He looked toward the distant sky and simultaneously controlled his speed to slow down.
"What's wrong?" Xue Di asked in confusion.
"Soone's here." Huo Yuhao said.
The other three won followed his gaze and, sure enough, in the distance, approximately in the direction of Heaven Dou City, a group of people was flying toward them.
Those people were flying in a fan formation, slowly changing their arrangent in the air to form a semi-encircling posture as they closed in on them.
"Enemies?" A playful smile instantly appeared on the corner of Zhongli Yu's mouth.
Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. They're probably from the Heaven Dou Empire's military. We're already very close to Heaven Dou City. Flying so openly in the sky must have attracted the attention of the Heaven Dou City garrison."
Zhongli Yu pouted and said, "We're flying in the sky, what does it have to do with them?"
Huo Yuhao said, sowhat exasperated, "Ever since the invention of flight-type soul tools, every country's control over its airspace has beco stricter, especially over cities. This Heaven Dou City is the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire. Just think, what would happen if soone flew over the imperial palace and dropped a high-yield fixed-type soul cannon shell?"
Die Qiu asked, not understanding, "Can that be prevented? If we fly high enough, to a place where they can't see us, and then drop it, wouldn't they still be helpless?"
A smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's face. "Your saying that just proves you soul beasts know nothing about soul tools. How could it be that easy! Not to ntion the difficulty of aiming from high altitudes, based on current soul tool research, there's a limit to how high flight-type soul tools can go. So far, at least, very few flight-type soul tools can exceed an altitude of one thousand ters. As long as they use so long-range soul tools to carefully observe the sky from the ground, they can always be spotted. There are even night-vision long-range soul tools for observation at night."
While the two were talking, the team had already surrounded them. There were a total of ten soul engineers. All of them were using standard-issue flight-type soul tools. Their speed didn't seem too fast. If Zhongli Yu and Xue Di wanted to get away with Huo Yuhao and Die Qiu, it wasn't impossible, but Huo Yuhao was anxious to get to the battle site and couldn't be bothered with such things.
Although the national power of the Heaven Dou and Dou Ling Empires was not as strong as that of the Star Luo Empire, they were, after all, large countries with long histories and still had their foundations. This was assuming they weren't facing a transcendent, modern-day expert like Huo Yuhao.
This team of soul engineers surrounded them but didn't attack; they rely encircled Huo Yuhao's group. Huo Yuhao didn't release any offensive soul tools either, holding out his hands to show he had no ill intentions.
These soul engineers from the Heaven Dou Empire were all wearing leather armor, clearly to reduce their own weight. The leader was surprisingly a woman with a cold and elegant appearance and a refined temperant. The flight-type soul tool on her back emitted a faint blue light.
"Who are you? How dare you fly in the airspace of our nation's capital. This is a sign of contempt for our country. Co with us." The cold voice was very pleasant to the ear, but the content was not so pleasing.
The four of them were stunned. Zhongli Yu and Xue Di were not good-tempered won, and their expressions imdiately turned cold.
Huo Yuhao quickly recognized the leading woman. Although she had never t Huo Yuhao, it didn't an Huo Yuhao didn't know her.
Back then, this group had acted as spies for the Body Sect and approached the core circle of the Star Dou Great Forest when that transmigrator, Cao Jinxuan, infiltrated to capture the Auspicious Beast. It was just that at the ti, Huo Yuhao was busy dealing with Yan Shaozhe and the experts of the Body Sect, followed by Tang Hao and the others, so he didn't have ti to bother with these few people.
"Mu Xue, right." Huo Yuhao roughly determined her identity based on her appearance and soul power attribute.
The cold young woman was startled and looked at Huo Yuhao in confusion, saying, "How do you know my na?"
Huo Yuhao had no intention of getting close to her. He was originally going to help Xie Huanyue, so the people from the Heaven Dou Empire's military were, in a way, his enemies.
"Just a coincidence, I didn't expect it was really you." Huo Yuhao's gaze was indifferent. "That makes things easier. I'll have to trouble you to co with us."
Co with you? Mu Xue's eyes widened in disbelief. Wasn't that her line? What was this guy talking about? Was he trying to flirt with her?
Mu Xue said coldly, "You have trespassed into our capital's airspace without permission and dare to speak so rudely! And I don't know you at all. No matter what, you can't interfere with carrying out my official duties! Let's go." As she spoke, she had already led the other soul engineers to close in.
As she moved, her gaze fell upon the other three won.
It wasn't just her; almost all the soul engineers' attention was focused on the three won. It wasn't because they could see the power of Xue Di and Zhongli Yu, but because the three of them were simply too beautiful!
Mu Xue had always been confident in her own looks, especially with the unique temperant she possessed due to her martial soul's characteristics, which set her apart from ordinary people. However, in front of these three won with their different temperants, she even felt a sense of inadequacy. Whether it was looks, temperant, or figure, she was simply not on the sa level as them.
Huo Yuhao didn't want to waste ti here with her. Flying runes instantly appeared in his eyes.
"The Demon King, Holy Lord of the Holy Spirit Cult, Huo Yuhao, hereby commands you, soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire, to heed my command and lead the way for us."
The Demon King Huo Yuhao?
"Quick!" Mu Xue's face sank as she shouted angrily, "Take them down!" Following her shout, the other nine soul engineers imdiately took action. Each of them took a soul tool from their backs.
Mu Xue's first reaction upon hearing this na was to counterattack imdiately, but the speed at which she activated her soul tool was far slower than the transmission speed of a ntal command.
"As you command, Lord Demon King Huo Yuhao, Mu Xue will personally guide you to any place you wish to go within the Heaven Dou Empire."
Huo Yuhao nodded in satisfaction. King's Authority was as useful as ever. Although it was a one-ti command, it was often far more convenient than Kotoamatsukami, which had a long cooldown ti.
It's over just like that? Zhongli Yu and the other two won looked at each other, all feeling a sense of disbelief.
"You've never used this kind of ability on soone else, have you?" Zhongli Yu sidled up and whispered into Huo Yuhao's ear, her breath like an orchid.
"This is a one-ti ntal manipulation technique. It's only effective once per day for each person. After a day, non-continuous commands will expire." Huo Yuhao exasperatedly gave her a King's Authority. "Like this..."
"Co on, present your shapely rear!"
Zhongli Yu was instantly hit by the command, and her body uncontrollably turned towards him.
Smack!
