Chapter 161 Finding the Snow Empress! Reencountering Huo Yuhao!
In the underground corridor deep within Mingde Hall, the cold light reflected off the alloy walls, creating a faint, chilling glint.
The continuous rumbling sounds from afar indicated that the buildings above were suffering devastating damage, caused by Elder Li and Elder Wang wreaking havoc.
Liu Yuan stood at the intersection of the passageways, the purple-gold divine light in his three pupils flickering uncertainly.
He instructed Electrox to fully open his divine sense, attempting to find the Snow Empress's soul power aura.
However, Electrolux searched for a long time but could not find it.
"I'll try again."
Electrolux responded softly within Liu Yuan's consciousness.
The Death Saint's divine sense was more stable than ever before. Nourished by the Gold of Life, his perception was like a fine net, avoiding the crisscrossing soul-guided alarm rays and penetrating deeper into the core research area.
Liu Yuan wasn't idle either. While he was stealthily moving through the passage, he began to use his double pupils to search everywhere.
The ability to see through illusions granted by his double pupils allows him to see through thick alloy walls and identify areas where the flow of soul power is abnormal.
However, the Mingde Hall has an extremely complex architectural structure, with not only a large amount of insulating metal installed, but also a soul-guiding array specifically designed to interfere with mental perception, which prevented him from finding its exact location for the time being.
"We need to be quick. Although there was a lot of noise just now, Mingde Hall reacted very quickly," Liu Yuan thought to himself.
Just as he rounded a right-angle bend, he ran head-on into a fully armed internal security patrol.
The team consisted of about ten people, led by two level-six Soul Masters, with the rest being level-five Soul Masters. They were carrying Soul Guidance Ray Guns and were rushing towards the explosion site.
"Who goes there!" a level six Soul Master shouted, instantly charging the Soul Guidance Ray Gun in his hand.
Liu Yuan's expression remained completely unchanged.
Although Poison Cannot kill them has attracted away a large portion of the high-end Soul Masters, places like Mingde Hall have a profound foundation.
It's impossible for them all to be drawn away; a core group will remain to guard the area.
Therefore, Liu Yuan must also deal with this group of people, otherwise, if he gets entangled and attracts more people, the Snow Emperor's plan to seize power will completely fail.
However, for Liu Yuan now, his strength is simply too great.
Therefore, even when facing a group of Soul Masters at levels 50 or 60, Liu Yuan didn't even need to activate his fifth Soul Ring.
He didn't even stop walking.
Just as the other party pulled the trigger, one of Liu Yuanzuo's pupils suddenly contracted, and a dark golden mental ray was instantly released.
The ray drew a sharp arc in mid-air and struck the leading Soul Master precisely between the eyebrows.
There was no violent explosion, only the hissing sound of soul power being instantly "dissolved".
Before the sixth-level Soul Master could even scream, his brain was shattered, and he collapsed limply.
"Attack!" The remaining Soul Masters were shocked to see this, and dense Soul Guidance Rays rained down on Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan's figure blurred, and the Qilin Treasure Technique was activated instantly.
His right arm was covered with a layer of fine, dark blue scales. Facing the barrage of rays, he neither dodged nor avoided them, but instead threw a punch.
The domineering Qilin force passed through the fist, forming a terrifying shockwave that forcibly shattered the rays that were powerful enough to melt refined iron.
Liu Yuan dashed into the crowd like a dark blue lightning bolt in the blink of an eye.
"Snap!"
The sound of bones breaking rang out one after another. Every palm strike or heavy punch from Liu Yuan contained extreme power. These soul masters, who relied too much on soul tools, were as vulnerable as lambs to the slaughter once Liu Yuan got close.
In just ten breaths, the corridor returned to deathly silence.
Liu Yuan shook the dust off his hands and sped up again.
Along the way, he encountered several patrols, but the result was the same.
Liu Yuan successfully killed another wave of enemies. His movements were clean and swift, leaving no survivors.
At that moment, Electrolux's tightly closed spiritual senses suddenly jolted.
"Over there!" Old Yi's tone was tinged with seriousness.
"180 meters underground, turn left and go to the third sealed storage area."
"I sensed an extremely pure, even primal, power of ice and snow."
"Although it's sealed by some kind of soul-guided container, that extreme cold is unmistakable!"
"Finally found it."
Liu Yuan rushed in that direction at full speed.
His body became a blur, darting swiftly through the complex underground pipe network.
Meanwhile, on the other side of Mingde Hall, the commotion caused by Du Busi also attracted the attention of another person.
Huo Yuhao was hiding inside a ventilation duct, his face pale with tension.
As an exchange student sent by Shrek Academy, he should have stayed in his dormitory, but the Ice Emperor and Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm inside his body screamed the moment the explosion occurred.
Our chance has come!
The voice of the Ice Emperor trembled violently in Huo Yuhao's mind, carrying an unprecedented urgency.
"Yuhao, no matter what it takes, you must save her! It's definitely Xue'er!"
Huo Yuhao also sneaked into Mingde Hall to investigate.
Although the risks were extremely high, he also knew that Mingde Hall was currently undefended, which presented the best opportunity.
"Hyotei, don't worry, I'm already moving towards that side."
While maintaining the shared mental detection and avoiding the faint infrared sensors, Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth inwardly.
He had already learned from the Ice Emperor and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm that the so-called "Soul Beast Embryo" was actually the Snow Emperor, the leader of the Three Heavenly Kings in the far north.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao also wanted to take advantage of the situation. If he could save Xue Di at this time, it would be an immeasurable boost to his future growth.
However, Huo Yuhao was unaware that ahead of him was a hunter who had locked onto his target even earlier.
The perspective shifts back to Liu Yuan.
After passing through several layers of thickened alloy doors, Liu Yuan finally arrived at the entrance to the core storage area.
The decor here is completely different from the outside. The walls are covered with a thick layer of frost, which is the cold air that even the best insulation materials cannot completely block.
However, there are many Soul Masters guarding the only road ahead of Liu Yuan.
These people were clearly the last loyal elites of Mingdetang.
They formed a defensive circle, each holding a level seven or higher melee soul tool.
Liu Yuan's pupils contracted slightly.
He discovered that among this group of people, there were actually two Soul Douluos with the cultivation level of the eighth ring.
The two old men sat cross-legged on the left and right sides of the core gate. Although their hair and beards were white, the soul power fluctuations emanating from their bodies were extremely solid.
These two were clearly Mingdetang's last line of defense, left behind to protect the Snow Emperor's embryo.
"Two Contras, huh..." Liu Yuan stopped and stared coldly at the other party.
Due to the difference in their cultivation levels, even he would need to put in some effort to launch a direct attack.
"However, this is the only way."
Just as Liu Yuan was about to activate his martial spirit and fight with all his might, his double pupils subtly glanced at a shadowy corner behind him.
With his double pupils allowing him to see through things and Electrolux's keen senses, Liu Yuan discovered that Huo Yuhao had also come.
The guy was hiding around the corner a hundred meters away, using some kind of simulated soul skill to conceal his figure. Although he was extremely well hidden, he was nowhere to be seen in Liu Yuan's eyes.
"Huo Yuhao?"
Liu Yuan raised an eyebrow.
"He did indeed come."
