Chapter 283 Conspiracy (Part 3)
"Captain, this isn't right. We've searched over a dozen cities, and we still haven't found a trace of the hostages. If we go any further, we'll be heading straight for Mingdu..."
One team member stared at the map in his hand, lost in thought. At that moment, the silence among the crowd was deafening…
"Could it be that the hostages are really in Mingdu?" Beibei paused for a moment, put down the map in her hand, and then looked at Mingdu, which was hundreds of miles away.
"Luo Yu is not a reckless person, so the hostages will most likely be in Mingdu. However, according to the latest news, it seems that the three princesses were given to a certain minister last time..." Xu Sanshi looked at the latest news in his hand with a dark face, sweating profusely under the gaze of everyone.
"Who?" The Star Luo Empire members stared wide-eyed at Xu Sanshi.
"Luo Yu..."
…………
It's alright. If it were anyone else, they could find a way to sneak in, but not Luo Yu.
Luo Yu is now arguably the most difficult person to kill in the Sun Moon Empire, bar none.
"Then what should we do? I went to Mingdu a few days ago when I was scouting. I could sense an extremely terrifying aura from anything related to Luo Yu. Not to mention the mansion that the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire has given to Luo Yu. It is even more heavily guarded than the location of Xu Tianran's place in the Sun Moon Empire during the last Battle of Mingdu."
One of the Shrek team members looked at Xu Sanshi and sighed. As the scout responsible for exploring the way, he had the most intelligence.
"So, you mean we can't rescue them for the time being?" Huo Yuhao's eyes darkened.
Beibei continued, "Our mission is actually complete. Aside from Mingdu, we can't find a more suitable place. Besides, with our current strength, we wouldn't escape even if we encountered a random Soul Master Corps. Just the city defense forces of Mingdu alone could wipe us out..."
The memory of being surrounded and intercepted by the city defense forces is still fresh in the minds of Shrek Academy and his group, let alone the five major Soul Master Legions of the Sun Moon Empire.
"Let's assess the situation first, then send someone to investigate. If we can determine the general location of the hostages, we don't need to continue. We just need to notify the academy and the three great empires. After all, a battle involving a Title Douluo is beyond our reach. Don't forget our purpose for this trip..." Wang Dong'er looked at Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei and spoke slowly.
…………
"We have received the latest news from Shrek Academy. Huo Yuhao has arrived in Mingdu, but they haven't yet ascertained the specific situation of the hostages." A team member passed the letter around.
Wang Qiu'er's team was a mix of personnel from Shrek Academy and the three great empires. Just in case, there were also several Soul Douluos in the team, so their operation went relatively smoothly.
"We're almost at Mingdu, but we've received the latest news from the three great empires. Because this operation is extremely dangerous, we need to take Su Yu with us when we evacuate, regardless of whether we succeed or not. Su Yu is a genius of our three great empires and a prodigy of Shrek Academy. This operation could very well affect him, so we need to find Su Yu before we start the operation and take him with us."
A Soul Douluo appointed by the royal families of the three great empires handed the intelligence in his hand to Wang Qiu'er, but the expression on his face was somewhat unnatural.
"That's natural. We were almost besieged during the last battle of Mingdu, so..."
Wang Qiu'er didn't know the specifics of their information, but Xu Sanshi might not.
Just as they were discussing, a Soul Douluo who had been resting with his eyes closed suddenly got up and looked around.
His codename is Ancient Eagle, his martial spirit is Cloud Sea Sky Eagle, he is extremely good at reconnaissance, and his eyes are comparable to those of an eagle.
"What's wrong, senior?" A team member, noticing Gu Ying's unusual behavior, was about to stand up.
In an instant, the distant sky lit up with light, and dozens of umbrella-shaped soul tools instantly unfolded, sealing off the space from four directions!
The giant umbrella, tens of meters in diameter, emitted a blue light, which then dispersed and intertwined, eventually forming a thin curtain of light that surrounded Wang Qiu'er and her group.
When the beam of light appeared, Wang Qiu'er and her group felt dizzy and disoriented. Because of this brief disruption, by the time they realized what was happening, their escape route had already been blocked.
Moreover, the large umbrella arrived so quickly that no one had time to react.
"I've been waiting for you here for a long time, but you didn't expect that you would be exposed the moment you stepped into the Sun Moon Empire." Rachel chuckled, looking at the Shrek students who were on high alert.
Wang Qiu'er stared coldly at Rachel, her eyes filled with murderous intent: "How did you know our whereabouts?"
Rachel touched the dagger in her hand, her gaze sweeping over the group. A sly glint flashed in her shrewd eyes. "Your academy has caused such a commotion on the border of our Sun Moon Empire, yet you haven't taken any further steps. Even we can guess what you're up to. Do you think His Highness and our captain can't? Not to mention your group's route—it's neither a caravan nor a tour. What kind of tour group sneaks into someone's capital without a sound?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Qiu'er instantly understood why she had been exposed. Their operation was already quite large-scale, not to mention that their people were appearing one after another in other cities.
Lu Jiu stepped forward and continued, "Actually, your route was within our expectations, but we didn't expect you to be so impatient. If you hadn't approached Mingdu, I wouldn't have targeted you. But... you're too arrogant, actually daring to try and get close to the captain's residence."
Wang Qiu'er raised an eyebrow, then asked, "So, that's how we were exposed, and then you followed the clues and discovered our whereabouts?"
Yan Lingshu's voice came from behind Rachel, "Not entirely. The main problem is that your route is too strange. When you entered the Sun Moon Empire, we didn't actually detect anything wrong. But as your route got closer and closer to Mingdu, it aroused our suspicion. Not to mention, among your group, your aura, Wang Qiu'er, is extremely unique. Although you tried to conceal it, your aura and fluctuations are still different from what our detectors detect. Simply put, based on all the information, we've concluded that you are from the three great empires!"
Boom!
Without warning, a series of soul-guided rays suddenly launched their attack. In an instant, large clusters of red light collided head-on with the dense array of soul-guided rays. In this confined space, the violent explosions caused ripples to spread across the light barrier.
The speed of the people from the three great empires was incredibly fast. They reacted the instant Lu Jiuyu and the others launched their attack. They were elites among their peers and were more than capable of handling such a sudden situation.
"Spread out, don't let the enemy block your movement!"

Boom!
Instead of directly entering the Soul Guidance Blue Light Cage to engage in close combat with the people from the three great empires, the people from the Sun Moon Empire chose to use a simple and brutal kite tactic to launch a wide-ranging attack.
A large number of soul-guided rays, accompanied by a series of violent roars, resounded through the mountains. The people of the three great empires were not driven to the brink of despair. While resisting, they were also seeking a way to break the deadlock.
"Surrender! Your plan has failed. If you surrender now, perhaps His Majesty will be pleased and spare your lives. But Wang Qiu'er, I think there is no one more beautiful than you in this world. If I present you to the captain as a gift, I think he will be satisfied, hahaha..."
"You're welcome to give it a try!"
The Golden Dragon Spear aimed straight at Rachel, who showed no fear, calmly watching Wang Qiu'er, who moved like a dragon, rush towards him.
boom!
A crisp sound rang out as Wang Qiu'er's Golden Dragon Spear pierced the single blue light barrier. The spearhead penetrated halfway into the barrier, and ripples spread across it, absorbing all the power of the Golden Dragon Spear.
"Don't waste your energy. You've even sent out Contra Douluo. Don't you think we have any countermeasures?" Rachel looked at Wang Qiu'er, who was standing close by, and smiled contemptuously.
Lu Jiuyu's team of Soul Masters continued to wear them down, while Wang Qiu'er kept trying to attack the Soul Guidance Umbrella, but each attack disappeared without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.
"Do you think this might give them away, and then..." Rachel shut out the outside world and spoke to Lu Jiuyu.
Lu Jiuyu stroked his chin and continued, "We were a bit arrogant. We're still within control, but at the very least, we have to make them break our soul tool. Otherwise, letting this big fish go will leave too much of a flaw."
Yan Lingshu looked at Wang Qiu'er, who was still fighting hard, her eyes flickering slightly, "You don't really want to give her to the captain, do you...?"
Rachel chuckled as he looked at Yan Lingshu's complex expression. "A beauty as stunning as Wang Qiu'er is someone I think no one but the Captain deserves. I think His Majesty would be quite happy to give her to the Captain as a gift."
"Are you serious?!" Yan Lingshu's eyes widened. "Don't forget who she is. She's the captain of Shrek Academy. Aren't you afraid...?"
"Let's talk about this later." Lu Jiuyu really didn't want to listen anymore and interrupted, "Fang Wei has already made arrangements, and Sheng Hongyun and Jing Peng are still waiting for our news. Let's think about what to do next."
"Since we're already planning to play the long game, why not be realistic and pretend they broke this level-eight soul tool, the Thousand-Pound Soul-Stabilizing Umbrella? Then we can chase them down and drive them towards the evil soul master's stronghold in Lieming City. We can also let them deal with the evil soul masters along the way. Besides, Fang Wei and the others have already made their preparations there." Rachel looked at the people from the Sun Moon Empire and revealed a meaningful smile.
