Chapter 395: Infiltrating Sunrise City

Sunrise City is not large in area, and it is not usually an important city, but after accepting participants from the originally affiliated three countries, the inspections here have become much stricter.

On the city walls, countless detection-type soul guide devices form an airtight encirclement; soul power, heat, vibration—here, even a fly passing by can be detected by the soul engineer in charge of detection.

To avoid the people of the Ri Yue Di Guo killing the hostages in a fit of anger, Tang Wulin and the others naturally would not choose a frontal assault; if possible, they would find a way to sneak into the city and secretly rescue the hostages.

As for this, Tang Wulin had already devised a countermeasure.

"I didn't expect Shilake Academy to have such a small world; what do you plan to use it for?"

Amid the gray mountains and rivers, Jin Peng curiously asked Tang Wulin.

They were currently in the Undead Half-Plane, while Huo Yutong was outside trying to find a way to infiltrate Sunrise City.

In terms of infiltration skill, none of those present could match her, so rather than increasing the difficulty outside, it would be better to let her act alone and bring them all in.

Huo Yutong had specially prepared in advance an area with no undead creature activity, so everyone only felt that the deathly aura here was somewhat strong, without thinking too much about it.

Tang Wulin smiled and shook his head.

"Our Academy also just discovered this small world and hasn't yet decided what to use it for specifically."

"Oh, I see."

Hearing Tang Wulin's remark, which meant almost the same as 'no comment,' Jin Peng, being sensible, stopped asking further and changed the subject.

"After entering the city, how do you plan to find the imprisoned participants?"

Although Shilake Academy had discovered that the participants were imprisoned in Sunrise City, due to the Ri Yue Di Guo's extremely tight defenses of Sunrise City, they could not determine the exact location of the imprisonment.

Therefore, for everyone, infiltrating the city is merely the first step; afterward they still need to locate the exact position of the imprisoned participants before they can officially begin the rescue operation.

"Don't worry, we naturally have our methods; if we spend two days and still haven't found any trace of the participants, we will naturally discuss it with you."

"That's good." Jin Peng sighed, "Ah, I hope those two Ultimate Douluo aren't here."

"Hmm."

Mentioning those two unparalleled powerhouses of the Holy Spirit Sect, Tang Wulin's expression also grew considerably graver.

For him at present, an Ultimate Douluo is still too powerful.

Before, he and Huo Yutong still had two Dragon King Bones as a trump card; at worst they could just summon them, but in that battle at the Heaven and Earth Asking Love Valley, those two bones were shattered by Tang San.

Fortunately, the souls of the two Dragon Kings were unharmed, which can also be considered a blessing in misfortune.

If Ye Xi Shui and Long Xiaoyao were really in Sunrise City, then his actions would have to be more careful, after all, even all of them together might not be a match for a single Ultimate Douluo.

Just then, the space before them suddenly twisted, and a gray door swung open.

Everyone's eyes lit up; they hurried to the door and discovered they had arrived in a room.

This room was obviously a guest room of an inn; the space wasn't particularly large, but with so many people suddenly appearing, it instantly felt crowded.

However, nobody cared about this crowding; they turned their gaze to the window and delightedly discovered they had truly entered Sunrise City.

Jin Peng exclaimed delightedly, "Awesome, little lady, I didn't expect you really could find a way to bypass all those detection-type soul guide devices and sneak into the city—how did you do it?"

Huo Yutong smiled faintly, raising a finger to her lips. "Trade secret."

"That's right, I was the one who offended."

Jin Peng also realized his slip of the tongue; he sighingly looked back and forth at Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong, letting out a long breath.

Now his contempt for Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong in his heart has completely vanished; Tang Wulin, who possesses power overwhelming him, and Huo Yutong, who has a wondrous small world—with these two young people, the future of Shilake Academy over the next several hundred years will surely be extremely glorious.

It seems that after returning this time, I will propose to the Sect Master to strengthen cooperation with Shilake Academy.

Thinking this, Jin Peng asked, "Then what should we do next?"

Huo Yutong took out a bunch of keys and distributed them respectively to everyone present.

"You should just wait in your own rooms today; I and Wulin will go out to scout around—we are now in enemy territory, we cannot act rashly."

"Okay."

Having been completely convinced by the two, Jin Peng said nothing to them, turned, and addressed the members of the Original Body Sect:

"Did you hear that? Go to your own rooms and standby, awaiting the Sea God Pavilion Master's instructions."

"Ah, right, wait a moment."

Seeing everyone preparing to leave, Tang Wulin hurriedly called out to stop them.

"We still need to give you a change of appearance."

The members of the Original Body Sect, due to their martial souls, are mostly quite conspicuous.

If a Soul Master World-savvy soul master were here, they would immediately give themselves away; therefore, to be safe, we should still change their appearance first.

After an hour, having completed the change of appearance for the Original Body Sect and the Shilake Academy crowd, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong came outside the inn.

They walked together down the street, also having changed their own appearance so as not to be so eye-catching.

Tang Wulin's hand and Huo Yutong's were tightly clasped together, playing the part naturally as a couple.

Outsiders seeing them like this would at most sigh involuntarily that this young couple's feelings are good, but only those familiar with the two know that their clasped hands, besides enhancing affection, also serve a more important purpose.

A vast mental detection net swiftly unfurled, enveloping the entire Sunrise City.

Sunrise City's diameter is only a dozen kilometers or so, whereas Huo Yutong, without relying on martial soul fusion or the Eye of Fate, has a mental detection limit diameter exceeding twenty kilometers.

This means that if she stood at the city center, even without Tang Wulin and the Eye of Fate, she could easily encompass the whole Sunrise City within her detection.

Although she is not standing at the city center now, due to her martial soul fusion with Tang Wulin, her soul power consumption is even less than under normal circumstances.

However, after roughly scanning around, the expressions of Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong became somewhat solemn.

Should we say it's not unexpected? Indeed, they did not find any place in the city where the participants were detained.

What's worse, they sensed the auras of more than one Nine-level Soul Guide Device at the city center.
