Bonus Chapter. Enjoy!
==========================
Tang Wulin's impulse was originally intended to save people.
But hearing Huo Yuhao's words, he instantly calmed down.
Indeed, relying solely on these few middle-aged men who weren't even Spirit Elders, they shouldn't have the guts to launch such a "terrorist attack."
There were accompanying Spirit Master guards and various security measures on the Soul Tool Train; it was impossible for them not to know.
Since they still dared to act, there must be someone behind them directing it, or they had a trump card.
While speaking, Huo Yuhao had already pushed Mental Detection to its limit. That invisible mental force was like a fine net, enveloping everyone on the train within it.
Everyone's breathing rhythm and every minute expression were clearly presented in his mind. He was searching, looking for the mastermind hidden in the shadows, waiting to reap the benefits.
After a short while... Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed slightly; he had found someone suspicious.
It was a bald man sitting in the corner of Carriage Eight, looking ordinary on the outside, but his aura was hidden extremely well.
Under Huo Yuhao's Mental Detection, that deliberately suppressed Spirit Power fluctuation was like a candle flame in the dark night; though weak, it had nowhere to hide.
Huo Yuhao withdrew his gaze and quickly made arrangements.
"Wulin, you and Na'er go deal with those four."
"Gu Yue, follow me."
Under the shared Mental Detection, there was no need for excessive descriptions of details.
The few of them all knew where they should go and what they should do.
Tang Wulin and Na'er immediately walked quickly toward the corridor on the left side of the dining car.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue walked toward the corridor on the other side.
Their target was Carriage Eight.
Huo Yuhao walked in front, one hand naturally holding Gu Yue's hand. The touch was slightly cool, yet it brought an indescribable sense of peace.
He tilted his head and sent a voice transmission over: "Be careful, the opponent's strength isn't weak."
Gu Yue's expression remained as calm as water, her pitch-black eyes showing no ripples. She looked at Huo Yuhao and nodded seriously.
The previous explosion had already spread throughout the entire train. Panic spread like a plague; screams, cries, and footsteps intertwined into a chaotic mess.
Fortunately, the train staff had already begun to soothe the passengers, but some people still ignored the arrangements and ran around frantically.
However, although most people's faces were full of terror and their bodies trembled slightly, they still sat honestly in their seats, holding their heads, curled up, praying for this nightmare to pass quickly.
So Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue's passage along the way didn't encounter any obstacles.
They passed through the carriages, meeting one terrified gaze after another, and soon arrived outside Carriage Eight.
Huo Yuhao stopped his footsteps, and the Myriad Thoughts Return to Nothingness Domain quietly unfolded.
That invisible mental force instantly spread out, enveloping the entire Carriage Eight within it.
But he didn't act directly, because it couldn't be confirmed yet that the other party was the mastermind.
On the other side.
Tang Wulin and Na'er had already rushed into Carriage Four.T
he four middle-aged bandits were holding soul tool ray guns, firing frantically.
Red rays crisscrossed within the carriage, leaving a mess wherever they passed.
But they were only Spirit Grandmasters; relying on soul tools to act violently, it was fine for bullying ordinary people, but meeting real Spirit Masters, they were completely vulnerable.
Tang Wulin's Spirit, Blue Silver Grass, shot out along the ground; under his control, the Blue Silver Grass, like Spirit snakes, instantly restrained the four people.
Na'er was not to be outdone, her silver dragon spear thrusting out repeatedly; even in this narrow carriage space, it didn't affect her execution.
Silver light flashed, and the bandits fell one after another. In almost just a few breaths, the four bandits were all dealt with.
And at almost the same time...In Carriage Eight, the bald man Huo Yuhao was focusing on suddenly stood up from his seat!
From his body, a fierce aura surged out!
That aura was cold, evil, and violent, as if coming from the depths of Hell. The surrounding people instantly let out terrified screams, desperately hiding to the side, wishing they could get as far away from him as possible.
Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue looked at each other.
Three words simultaneously popped up in both their minds—"Evil Soul Master"!
Huo Yuhao no longer hesitated; Myriad Thoughts Return to Nothingness Domain, fully activated!
He began to secretly extract that violent desire to attack from the other party's body. In this carriage, to ensure the safety of other personnel, many powerful Spirit Abilities were inconvenient to use.
Once action was taken, it would very likely harm the innocent.
But Huo Yuhao's mental attacks were perfectly suited for handling today's situation.
Formless and invisible, impossible to guard against.
Under the effect of the Myriad Thoughts Return to Nothingness Domain, the fierce aura on that bald Evil Soul Master gradually receded.
The madness and bloodlust in his eyes were also gradually fading, replaced by a patch of blankness and daze.
Huo Yuhao looked through the carriage window at the back not far away; a Rank 6 long-range soul tool had already appeared in his hand.
The cold metallic texture pressed against his palm, and Spirit Power slowly poured in. The soul tool core operated at high speed, emitting a faint hum. At the muzzle, blue light began to condense, becoming brighter and more intense.
Then, aim... fire!
A small blue light pillar shot out from the muzzle, fast as lightning, shooting straight toward the back of the Evil Soul Master's head!
This strike, as long as it hit, would blow his head apart, and the crisis would be immediately resolved.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Just as the soul tool ray was about to hit that Evil Soul Master, a blood-colored light shield suddenly rose behind him!
That light shield was as thin as a cicada's wing; the blue ray crashed into it, emitting a sharp hum, then scattered and splashed, vanishing into nothingness.
Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted slightly, and the Evil Soul Master's eyes suddenly regained their clarity!
He suddenly turned around, and those eyes no longer had the previous blankness, replaced by intense killing intent and madness.
He had actually directly broken free from the control of the Myriad Thoughts Return to Nothingness Domain!
A terrifying aura erupted once again!
Red Spirit Power diffused from his body like blood mist, staining the entire carriage with a bizarre color. That aura was evil and violent, more than ten times stronger than before. Beneath his feet, six spirit rings—three purple and three black—slowly rose.
This was a Spirit Emperor!
This Evil Soul Master suddenly looked back!
Those crimson eyes locked onto Huo Yuhao outside the train corridor.
His gaze was like something solid, carrying cold, evil, and bloodthirsty killing intent, as if wanting to tear the person into pieces.
Being stared at by a Spirit Emperor level Evil Soul Master, if it were any other Spirit Ancestor, they would probably have been scared out of their wits and had their legs turn to jelly.
But Huo Yuhao was currently calm, and on that handsome face, not a trace of fear could be seen.
Clearly, this Evil Soul Master must have some kind of passive defensive ability, which was how he blocked that soul tool ray just now.
"Jie Jie Jie!"
This Evil Soul Master let out a burst of strange laughter. That laughter was sharp and piercing, like an owl's cry, echoing in the carriage and making one's scalp tingle. He looked at Huo Yuhao, his crimson eyes flashing with excited light.
"I didn't expect," his voice raspy and sinister, "that I could catch a big fish today!"
The corners of his mouth split open, revealing a mouthful of yellow-black teeth.
"Top of the Young Genius List..."He said each word slowly, full of mockery and greed."Spirit Transmitting, Huo Yuhao!"
