DD2—Chapter 208: Shocked Du Busi
Du Busi and the members of the Body Sect quickly flew away from Mingdu. From their perspective, they could see a lush forest stretching out beneath them.
It wasn't that he didn't want to use the earth-drilling soul guidance device, but most of the earth-drilling soul guidance device had been smashed just now, so he could only grit his teeth and fly away.
Of course, he believed that Jing Hongchen and the others wouldn't send anyone to hunt him down.
After all, according to the information he had obtained, the Sun Moon Empire did not have an Ultimate Douluo. Without an Ultimate Douluo, his threat of self-destruction still carried a strong deterrent.
Furthermore, even if the Sun Moon Empire decided to send people after him, surviving the hunt would mean that the geniuses and nobles of the empire would be in danger.
Not everyone could withstand the assassination of a level 98 Super Douluo.
To many, such actions might appear as bullying the weak, damaging the reputation of the sect. But the people of the Body Sect would prioritize sect interests over reputation.
Moreover, the reputation of the Body Sect on the Douluo Continent has never been very good.
Even though the sect and Shrek Academy once teamed up to resist a beast tide many years ago, everyone remembers how that beast tide began.
Initially, the Body Sect entered the Star Dou Great Forest and killed seven 100,000-year-old soul beasts in a single attack, which angered Di Tian and triggered the beast tide.
While the reputation of the Body Sect is better than that of evil soul masters, the actions it took in the past have made many see it as a sect caught between righteousness and evil.
Suddenly, Du Busi saw a space crack in front of him. Out of it stepped a man dressed in a black robe, with a flying soul guidance device on his back and a mask covering his face.
Du Busi's face changed dramatically. He instinctively activated his martial soul true body. With a sharp whistle, he transformed into a dark green giant a hundred feet tall, blocking the rest of the Body Sect behind him.
"My friend, you are blocking us. What do you want to do?"
Du Busi's anxiety reached its peak. Even when surrounded by Jing Hongchen and others earlier, he hadn't felt so worried.
Because the person in front of him wielded tremendous control over space.
The opponent's sudden appearance, especially after his and his sect's departure from Mingdu, was very suspicious. Could he be a powerful figure from the Sun Moon Empire? That seemed unlikely—how could a soul engineer from the Sun Moon Empire, especially one involved in drug cultivation, possess such strength?
Generally, experts proficient in space power are adept at both fighting and retreating at will.
On the Douluo Continent, there are indeed powerful figures who can break through space barriers and act swiftly.
The best example is the Beast God Di Tian, who, according to sect records, once relied on his mastery of space to make the support forces of the Body Sect extremely uncomfortable during the approach of a beast tide.
Not only is it difficult to attack Di Tian directly, but he can suddenly tear apart space barriers and strike unpredictably—how can one fight such an opponent?
"Du Busi, I'm here to find you," Huo Yuhao said.
He had initially flown toward Illustrious Virtue Hall, but only began contacting the plane consciousness en route. Using the flying soul guidance device while communicating with the plane consciousness wouldn't cause delays; the consciousness quickly located Du Busi's position.
However, Mingdu was crowded, so to avoid attracting too many enemies, he waited for Du Busi and the others to leave before dispatching the plane consciousness to follow them.
"Looking for me? What's your purpose?" Du Busi asked, his body tense and ready to fight at any moment.
Huo Yuhao replied: "Poison Sect Master, I want to cooperate with the Body Sect."
If he aimed to control the sect in the future, starting with cooperation was the best approach. As for using the plane consciousness to force the sect into defeat—honestly, that was not very feasible. After all, Tang San, like the Sword of Damocles, was always lurking, and he had no body to descend into the world and concoct an excuse for a rising star.
Moreover, the people of the Body Sect were very suitable for using soul guidance devices because of their Body Martial Soul.
However, due to years of discrimination against soul guidance devices within the sect, many members didn't pay much attention to them. In the original story, Du Busi only realized later that the future belonged to soul guidance technology.
When Du Busi heard the word "cooperation," he subconsciously frowned.
Because it reminded him of the "cooperation" with Xu Jiawei—an action he regarded as the worst decision of his life.
After trusting Xu Jiawei's intelligence and leading the sect to attack Illustrious Virtue Hall, they gained no benefits.
Disciples suffered casualties, and even he, due to burning his life source, only had about ten years left.
All these facts proved that attacking Illustrious Virtue Hall was a mistake.
"I'm not interested in cooperating with you, my friend. Please move aside. If you keep blocking here, we might become enemies," Du Busi said, his tone growing more impolite.
He simply wanted to leave the Sun Moon Empire and avoid entanglements.
"Busi, don't talk like that. You should show respect to Senior Xiao," an old voice suddenly echoed.
Du Busi was stunned, recognizing the voice as familiar. Soon, he saw a figure floating behind Huo Yuhao—half-illusive, half-solid. The figure had dark green hair.
He was shocked: "Brother? You didn't die?"
"Busi, I am indeed dead, but I have returned as a soul," Du Bisi said, his expression complicated. He still remembered entrusting the sect to Du Busi before his death.
"Brother, your soul?" Du Busi hesitated, unsure what to make of this masked man. He couldn't understand how an evil soul master could have refined his brother's soul into a vengeful spirit.
No—vengeful spirits shouldn't have consciousness. He had encountered evil soul masters before and knew what those spirits were like.
Meanwhile, the sect members around them exploded in surprise. Those capable of attacking the Illustrious Virtue Hall with Du Busi were mostly powerful and seasoned.
They immediately recognized Du Bisi.
"Is that the old sect master? Didn't he die fighting Mu En?"
"Could it be that the old sect master has been resurrected? In history, only Ning Rongrong and Oscar resurrected Tang San. I remember in Shrek's legends, it was said that the Spirit Hall gods attacked Tang San with evil means, leading to his death, but Ning Rongrong and Oscar resurrected him."
