Chapter 566.1. My Target is the Dou Ling Empire
The light changed once again as everything seemed to have returned to normal. Huo Yuhao brought Ju Zi out of the huge black door as they returned to her tent.
Ju Zi turned around and took a last glimpse at the mystical sight behind her. Even now, she was still slightly startled by the experience she had just had. “So this is your deepest secret that you have been hiding from everyone?” she asked gently.
Huo Yuhao did not answer. All he did was stare at her as complex emotions overwhelmed him.
Ju Zi continued, “You’re still too kind. You had a great opportunity to kill me just now—or at the very least imprison me. Actually, I was not completely truthful earlier. If I am not around, the army might just attack Shrek City. However, with the power that all of you possess, you will still have a good chance of surviving our attacks. As long as you are able to withstand the first wave of attacks, you might just stand a chance at defeating us. However, you have just let this chance slip away. Now that I am back here, there’s no way you can catch me again as long as I choose not to allow you to do so.”
Huo Yuhao sighed and said, “I know.”
Ju Zi’s eyes widened in disbelief, and she asked, “Then why did you send me back?”
Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, “I couldn’t make up my mind. You’re right. I am just too kind. However, I hope that you will never challenge my limits again. You should not be overly confident about your abilities either. If I really have to kill you someday, you will never be able to run away from me.”
Ju Zi revealed a smile on her face. It seemed as though she was not worried in the slightest about Huo Yuhao’s threatening words. “If you really have this capability, you should kill that man first. If you kill him, I will adhere to our ten-year promise.”
Huo Yuhao squinted his eyes as multiple thoughts fleeted across his mind. He knew it was somewhat against his conscience to kill Ju Zi. However, he had no psychological barrier when it came to killing that man. Nonetheless, would he really be that easy to kill? Huo Yuhao knew he had to take down the entire Imperial Soul Engineer Legion in Radiant City in order to kill him.
