Waiting was a kind of torture. Xu Sans.h.i.+ and the others had already been waiting for a long time. There was a dark door not far from them – Huo Yuhao had told them that if they didn't hear his call within two hours, then they had to charge out from this door.

Almost an hour had pa.s.sed, but they still hadn't received any news at all.

“Sans.h.i.+, do you think Yuhao is in trouble? Why do I feel like something is not right with this place of his?” Jiang Nannan whispered to Xu Sans.h.i.+, who was beside her.

Xu Sans.h.i.+ was momentarily stunned. “What's wrong? Since Yuhao has allowed us to partic.i.p.ate in this operation, there shouldn't be a problem. Look – we have more than ten t.i.tled Douluo with us, and we have to rely on their strength to complete our mission! Yuhao can't have lied to us.”

Jiang Nannan forced a laugh and said, “The reason I think something is wrong is because of these t.i.tled Douluo! Think about it – what will happen if this operation fails? Won't everyone be completely stuck in this place without his call? That can't be the case, because he's left this dark door for us. But where does this door lead? If his mission has failed, he can't possibly let these t.i.tled Douluo rush out into our enemies' cannon fire. I'm afraid that this door leads us directly back into our camp!”

Xu Sans.h.i.+ was rendered speechless for a while as he listened to Jiang Nannan's words. His facial expression gradually turned black after a few moments as he snapped around at Jiang Nannan and growled, “Why didn't you say this earlier?”

Jiang Nannan looked very aggrieved. “It only just came to me. It seems like Yuhao isn't confident at all! We have all been tricked. No wonder I felt as if something wasn't right when he agreed so readily. What should we do now?”

Xu Sans.h.i.+ rubbed his fists and said, “We have to wait – that's the only thing we can do. If this door leads back to our camp, then walking out now will mean we no longer have an opportunity to help him. We can only pray that his mission is a success. That little rascal is putting himself in danger once again.”

Inside the commander's tent of the Star Luo Empire's Northwestern Field Army.

There were several dozen soul masters standing quietly inside the commander's tent. The White Tiger Duke was sitting in the main commander's seat, and Princess Jiujiu was sitting beside him.

They were all waiting quietly for news to arrive.

There was a dark door conjured not far from the White Tiger Duke. Huo Yuhao had left this behind before he left. He told the White Tiger Duke that even if his mission wasn't successful, he wouldn't incur any losses for the army at all, and going through with their conservative plan was enough.

The White Tiger Duke was clear that Huo Yuhao no longer cared about his safety when he said those words, and when those t.i.tled Douluo walked out from this door, it would mean that Huo Yuhao had paid with his life in this operation.

The soul master legions would complete the rest of their offensive, and all eight...
