Chapter 338

339. Chapter 339: Target Snow Emperor.

"Orange Sister, are you okay…?"

Bai Zhou suddenly noticed that after killing Dai Hao, Orange's expression had turned strange; her hands seemed to be trembling.

"Wu…wu…Little White…thank you…" Orange spun around abruptly and threw herself fiercely into Bai Zhou's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

Clearly, her earlier cunning and evil were all faked, meant solely to shatter Dai Hao's spirit completely.

After killing Dai Hao, Orange had essentially shed the burden she carried; the overwhelming emotional impact made her burst into tears.

"There, there—I told you I'd help you avenge your revenge, and now I've kept my promise~" Bai Zhou smiled as he comforted her.

Saying this, he immediately summoned his "Fighter Jet," carried Orange into the cockpit, and took off straightaway.

Bai Zhou did not take Orange back to the Sun Moon Empire; instead, he flew deep into the Star Luo Empire.

"Mmm…Little White, where are we going?"

After resting a while in Bai Zhou's arms, Orange noticed the direction was wrong and asked softly.

"To the Star Luo Empire—to find something very important." Bai Zhou smiled mysteriously.

His reason for coming to the Star Luo Empire was, of course, the Snow Emperor.

The mysterious Level 9 Soul Tool Master who captured the Snow Emperor was from the Sun Moon Empire, but perhaps because the Extreme North borders the Sun Moon Empire, he had brought the sealed Snow Emperor to the Star Luo Empire.

Added to that, the Grand Continent Elite Soul Tool Master Academy Competition was being prepared, making the Star Luo Empire exceptionally prosperous.

The Level 9 Soul Tool Master also wanted to wait for this opportunity to sell the Snow Emperor at a high price.

As long as he could find that Level 9 Soul Tool Master, he could find the Snow Emperor.

Since Bai Zhou had not deliberately suppressed the news, the Star Luo Empire's military movements could not be hidden from some Nobles.

Moreover, while the Micro Card was still far behind the internet of his past life, it had already vastly outpaced earlier methods of information dissemination.

As a result, the Star Luo Empire was now beginning to descend into chaos.

Upon hearing this news, most Noble merchants didn't think of resisting the enemy—they thought only of fleeing, of transferring their assets.

The unusual behavior of Noble merchants naturally drew the attention of commoners; once commoners learned the news, chaos was not far off.

From the sky, Bai Zhou and Orange could clearly see crowds surging in city after city; small-scale conflicts had already erupted in every corner.

On one hand, there were clashes between commoners and the government.

On the other, some opportunists and "rebel factions" seized this chance to rise up, aiming for something big.

Even some remote cities declared independent sovereignty.

All kinds of scoundrels and frauds had surfaced.

Most of them were seeking revenge against Nobles and government officials…

Although most unrest was swiftly suppressed, many lucky ones had already achieved their goals.

"The Star Luo Empire has descended into such chaos—how tragic," Orange murmured, watching from the sky.

In her mind, the Star Luo Empire had always been a formidable opponent; she never imagined such a vast empire would collapse into this disorder during war…

"Heh, class contradictions exist everywhere—only they've been suppressed, and the harder they're suppressed, the deeper they fester, waiting for the moment to explode."

Bai Zhou smiled lightly, as if this were nothing unusual.

Unless absolute fairness and justice are achieved, such things cannot be eradicated—no matter which world, as long as there are classes, there will be contradictions, there will be rebellion.

Though this world is a Fantasy World, Soul Masters make up less than 1% of the population; commoners still form the vast majority, and under intense oppression, rebellion is inevitable.

"Is that so…"

Orange blinked her beautiful eyes and nodded, half-understanding.

Though she had read many books, most were on military strategy; she knew little about other matters.

…

Bai Zhou offered no further explanation; instead, he spread his Spiritual Power, covering the entire Star Luo Empire.

Soon, he found his target.

Of course, Bai Zhou was not searching for the sealed Snow Emperor—he was searching for the Level 9 Soul Tool Master.

Within the entire Star Luo Empire, there were only ten Titled Douluo-level individuals.

Nine of them were pure Soul Masters; it was unknown whether all were Star Luo citizens, but Bai Zhou didn't care.

One was located in a small northern city of the Star Luo Empire; though he had 91-level cultivation, his soul power was unstable, far weaker than a normal Titled Douluo.

This was the difference between a Soul Tool Master and a Soul Master—easy to distinguish.

…

Meanwhile.

Inside a Noble Castle, an old man with gold-rimmed glasses stood by the window, gazing down at the chaotic streets, his brow slightly furrowed.

"What bad luck—why now? Why not before or after?" the old man cursed under his breath, feeling inexplicably gloomy.

The Star Luo Empire was about to host the Grand Continent Elite Soul Master Competition; during this period, the number of Soul Masters entering the empire would be dozens of times greater than usual, greatly boosting trade.

He had originally planned to use this opportunity to sell his "Spirit Beast Embryo" at an extremely high price.

But he never expected this to happen.

Though he was from the Sun Moon Empire, he preferred research and disliked war—war meant death, and it caused prices of research resources to skyrocket, which was not good for him.

"Forget it—I'll leave this place soon, before I get caught in the crossfire…" After a moment's thought, he decided to depart.

His Spirit Beast Embryo was a treasure comparable to a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bone; if he spent time, he could surely find a good buyer.

The Imperial Family, Mingde Hall—they'd likely be very interested in this Spirit Beast Embryo…

With this thought, the old man turned back to his room, planning to pack his Laboratory and leave this place as soon as possible.

At that moment, he seemed to sense something and spun around sharply.

Then he saw a massive flying Soul Tool appearing on the horizon, hurtling toward him at incredible speed.

"What is this thing?"

The old man was instantly baffled; he had spent his entire life studying Soul Tools, but had never seen anything so strange.

Moreover, he sensed a hint of danger emanating from it.

"Damn, it's coming for me..." The old man's heart tightened; he instinctively summoned his Flying Soul Tool to flee, but it was already too late.
