Chapter 204: Setting Off

Moreover, that deity's threat to them was not only strength; the other party might also vie for the Dragon Tomb's resources.

The Dragon Tomb was originally in the Tang Sect's hands, but the current Tang Sect... its strength relies entirely on Shrek Academy; whether it even has a branch on Star Luo is a question, and even if it does, it would not be strong.

Compared to the Holy Spirit Cult which had placed personnel within the Star Luo Delegation, the Tang Sect's influence on Star Luo definitely was not as great as the Holy Spirit Cult's. Just which power held the Dragon Tomb now was worth pondering.

If considering the worst-case scenario — whether the Holy Spirit Cult discovered the Dragon Tomb, or that deity discovered the Dragon Tomb after completing nirvana — he would certainly utilize the resources within to restore himself.

And although the Dragon Tomb had the Dragon God's Will, that guy's attitude had always been a mystery; Huo Yuhao remembered the Dragon God's Will even tacitly allowed others to take the Dragon Tomb's dragon bones to manufacture weapons. Counting on him to act against that deity? Might as well wash up and sleep.

So the trip to Star Luo, the earlier the better; they needed to get there before that deity.

Gu Yue Na nodded thoughtfully, "I understand, but what about Xiao Yan and the others? Do we really have to let them go together?"

Given Yuhao's personality, before making a plan, safety was definitely the primary consideration. Gu Yue Na was not worried about their own safety from the start.

On the contrary, the others needed some consideration.

"Mingdu is not necessarily safe."

Huo Yuhao glanced toward the direction of Shrek Academy and the War God Hall, tone flat, "Going to Star Luo with us, at least they have us and several Four-Word Battle Armor Masters protecting them. Staying here, no matter how much the Spirit Pagoda values them, it is impossible to dispatch Limit Douluo to protect their safety."

The Holy Spirit Cult's objectives are not just one; when they concentrate all their attention on Star Luo, it is also a prime opportunity for the Holy Spirit Cult to act within the Douluo Federation.

The Star Luo Continent certainly has dangers, but the Douluo Federation side... is not necessarily safe either.

"Moreover, their relationship with me is too deep; if a plan targeting me goes awry, the Holy Spirit Cult might send people specifically to capture them to force my hand. Better to let Xiao Yan and them stay by our side. If we let them stay on the Douluo Continent, if something happens, we would be too far to help."

Gu Yue Na blanked for a moment, then thought of something, her expression turning strange, "Your father's disappearance under this identity was done by the Holy Spirit Cult?"

Huo Yuhao's current identity was a legitimate federal identity; she had heard Huo Yuhao say before that his background was divorced parents, an orphan left behind after his mother passed away.

The people involved in the identity background all really existed; that father borrowed a large sum of money, ultimately couldn't repay it, simply abandoned mother and son and ran off himself.

Later mother and son both passed away in destitution, unable to repay the money; only that so-called cheap father was still alive, seemingly living well because of the money he borrowed before.

Of course, this was before Huo Yuhao borrowed that child's identity to join the Spirit Pagoda.

After Huo Yuhao joined the Spirit Pagoda, because of Huo Yuhao's tacit permission, that man received a warning from the Spirit Pagoda, was dragged off to repay the debt, effectively imprisoned.

Until a while ago, someone suddenly investigated that man, and then he disappeared.

If not for Huo Yuhao's flat reaction, the Spirit Pagoda would have long since mobilized its power to search.

"The one who investigated him was Dai Yun'er of the Star Luo Delegation, but the ones who took him away should be Holy Spirit Cult people. Probably in the Holy Spirit Cult's view, my not killing him shows I still have feelings for him; even if that feeling is hate, they can make arrangements through that man."

Huo Yuhao shrugged, sighed, "If I weren't on the ship heading to the Star Luo Federation, I'd probably receive a distress letter from that man or something else."

Mm, leaving aside other aspects of the Holy Spirit Cult, their execution has no problems at all, and they are sufficiently unscrupulous.

Too bad they kidnapped the wrong person.

What that man who caused the death of his own wife and child will become has nothing to do with him.

... The day of departure came earlier than expected.

After staying on the Douluo Continent for several months, the Star Luo Federation's delegation once again arrived at their first stop — Heavenly Sea City, while the Douluo Federation's delegation heading to Star Luo also rushed over.

This time, the Star Luo people visiting the Douluo Federation numbered over a thousand, encompassing personnel from all walks of life; Huo Yuhao and the others saw only a portion.

The Douluo Federation's return visit had fewer people than this number, but they were also elites from all walks of life.

An opportunity to understand Star Luo's strength — the Federation would not let it slip.

However, regarding the younger generation, only the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Shrek Academy, and the Spirit Pagoda sent people.

Everyone gathered at the Heavenly Sea Grand Hotel, preparing to board the ship for Star Luo.

The number of people in the hall gradually increased, but under the command of official personnel, the scene remained orderly.

At this moment, a resonant voice rang out through the hall via soul guidance amplifiers:

"Friends, hello everyone! I am Federal Secretary-General Pan Wen. This exchange trip to the Star Luo Continent will be led by me personally. Next, please have the Star Luo Continent's exchange group quickly count heads and board the soul guidance buses parked in zones one through twenty-five first. Then, our Federation's delegation please board buses twenty-six through fifty-two in turn. Now, please have all departments begin counting heads and prepare for departure."

Huo Yuhao's group boarded the soul guidance bus; as the vehicle moved, Xu Xiaoyan gradually came back to her senses.

"Going to Star Luo for exchange, ah; didn't expect an opportunity like this would fall on us; I still find it somewhat hard to believe."

"We definitely basked in Big Brother's light; otherwise it definitely wouldn't be our turn." Xie Xie chuckled.

This represents the country, a paid trip to a foreign land; the number of people wanting to go is certainly not small.

"Heard that Star Luo side, although also a federation system, still has a royal family; seems it's because of the royal family's past merits that their status was preserved."

Because of the Star Luo Delegation's arrival, much information about the Star Luo Federation was also transmitted to the Federation, circulating on the soul guidance network.

Wang Jinxi sat in the window seat, while learning about the Star Luo Federation's situation, he looked at Xu Xiaoyan with some surprise, "And the Star Luo royal family's surname is Xu; their inherited martial soul is the Star Crown."

Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and the others all looked at Xu Xiaoyan, faces showing surprise.

Is this... a coincidence?

Xu Xiaoyan blinked, touched her chin and said, "I seem to have heard family members say our Xu Family indeed has a connection to the Star Luo royal family from ten thousand years ago, but only a branch family. After all, you all know, our family's martial soul can mutate into the Starwheel Ice Staff, but it's hit or miss, far inferior to the Star Luo royal family's stably inherited Star Crown."

Xie Xie clicked his tongue in admiration, "Didn't expect, ah; our Miss Xiao Yan is actually a Xu Family member; rounding off, aren't you practically a Star Luo princess?"

"Your rounding off is way too much."

Xu Xiaoyan rolled her eyes.

Amidst the laughter, the vast sea gradually came into everyone's view, and two majestic giant ships immediately appeared in their sight.

This trip to Star Luo thus unfolded.
