Douluo: This time we will rewrite our destiny

Huo Yuhao pondered for a while and nodded. "I understand," he said. "I will take this matter seriously. I will monitor the rift closely these days and report any situation immediately. Please pay attention to the letter from the City Lord's Mansion. My people will notify you in advance when they set out to investigate."

"Thank you, Imperial Master." Li Lan bowed deeply again. It took him some effort to straighten his back, and he had to fold his hands and support himself with a cane before he could stand up. Huo Yuhao waved his hand, and the soldiers of the Evil Lord Soul Instructor Corps in front of the door immediately stepped forward to help him.

Li Lan stood up with the help of the soldiers, then waved his hand to indicate that he could still walk back by himself.

Huo Yuhao actually does not have any feelings for the Sun Moon Empire like his hometown or country. The reason he cares so much about it now is only because this place has allowed him to make friends and relatives and learn. The current regent Xu Tianling has a good relationship with him, and Yin Yun is a junior he thinks highly of.

Because of all this, he looked at Li Lan's back and wanted to sigh.

"That's all for today," he told the guard. "I'll let other visitors in tomorrow. I need to rest."

After saying that, he turned off the soul guide lamp. But he did not fall asleep directly that night, but chose to meditate, turning the Moonlight Knife over and over in the sea of ​​​​spirituality. Strange, he thought, it is indeed strange that this carving knife has spatial properties, but it does not look like something harmful to this world.

If its origin is really the same as Li Lan described, then during the Soul Guide Competition, the evil soul master would not have used it to make a soul guide, after all, it would have transformed the metal into something else...

Electrolux had the same question, but they had no idea for the time being. There was not much time to think, and soon the daylight seeped in from the window. Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and saw a visitor waiting through his mental detection. He opened the door and saw the man who had been waiting outside since early in the morning.

The person who came was Yan Shaozhe. Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "I never thought that Dean Yan was so proactive."

Yan Shaozhe was silent for a moment, then said, "I have never known the origin of my life, and I have always considered Shrek my home. But you are right, not everyone can have the Bright Phoenix, there is no such coincidence. I want to... know why."

"I also have a lot to ask her." Huo Yuhao turned around and walked ahead. "It seems that you have the same question. Then let's go, Dean Yan. The Sun Moon Royal Prison is still some distance away from here."

Ye Xishui was eventually sentenced to death, and was paraded through the streets of Mingdu a week before the execution. This was the maximum penalty that the Sun Moon Empire gave to major massacres that were caught. The judge also felt it was difficult to deal with the case file, because there had never been such a case in the history of the empire.

Even in the history of the entire continent, a case like Ye Xishui's is unique. If anyone could be accused of crimes comparable to hers, it might only be Zhongli Laogui, who has an additional crime of rape.

Long Xiaoyao's sentencing is still underway. On the one hand, because Di Tian's Dragon King Claw accurately injured Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao's martial spirit was not damaged to an irreversible degree, and if given time, it is possible to recover. Although he worked for Ye Xishui, from the charge, he did not directly participate in part of the activities of the Holy Spirit Church, and he had a protective action that was beneficial to the Sun Moon Empire: although that was to protect Xu Tianran.

To put it bluntly, if the sentence had to be relaxed, there was a reason. The Sun Moon Empire was still considering such a possible recovery of the Extreme Douluo. However, after hearing about Ye Xishui's verdict, Long Xiaoyao demanded that he be sentenced to death and wanted to leave with Ye Xishui.

The last piece of news was told to Huo Yuhao by the warden who was a ninth-level soul master. Ever since the verdict was announced, Long Xiaoyao had said nothing, but now he repeatedly requested that he and Ye Xishui be given the same punishment, so that they could die together.

“In fact, it doesn’t matter if his wish is fulfilled…” Huo Yuhao sighed after hearing this. “Senior Long has cultivated to the limit in his life. No one in the world can defeat him. However, apart from that, he has nothing. It would be miserable to stay in this world. Ye Xishui is his last thought. To end someone’s thoughts is no different from killing someone.”

"Master," asked the warden, "is this what you mean?"

Huo Yuhao paused for a moment and said, "I will talk to His Highness later. His Highness may have his own ideas, but it won't be too late. At least you won't be disturbed by Senior Long for too long. Now take me and this gentleman to meet these two."

The warden then summoned someone to lead the way for Huo Yuhao and Yan Shaozhe. This area of ​​cells was built specifically for the vicious and evil Holy Spirit Sect members. Walking through the cold corridor, one could vaguely see some figures hiding in the darkness behind the iron bars on both sides, revealing fierce and hateful eyes to the two of them.

They thought Huo Yuhao couldn't see it, but Huo Yuhao saw it clearly. After the new standard for judging evil spirit masters was released, those who could still be imprisoned were all sinners who had clear self-awareness in the Holy Spirit Church but were still completely corrupt and committed all kinds of evil.

No matter how much hatred they cast at Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao knew that everything they had now was their own fault. They had thought that even if they encountered an accident, they would have the Holy Spirit Church as their backing; however, they did not expect to witness the collapse of Ye Xishui and the destruction of the Holy Spirit Church in their lifetime.

"It's right here." The guide pointed to several cells at the end of the corridor. "Here, the first one is Zhongli Wu. Although Ye Xishui blocked Kong Lao's cannon for him, he still suffered serious burns. In addition, you recovered the Bone Dragon King's beast spirit, and his life beast spirit was plundered, severely damaging his foundation. I'm afraid he will not live long even without punishment."

Huo Yuhao looked towards his cell. On a lonely bed, Zhongli Wu, with festering skin, was sprawled out on the bed. His entire body was old and decayed, except for the face he had created to look eternally youthful. It looked very strange, as if a human head was pressed on top of it. He was still breathing, his chest rising and falling violently, and every breath he took was like wind blowing through a burning hole in a bag.

“No,” Huo Yuhao said, “How can we let him die naturally in prison? The execution must be carried out before he dies. If he doesn’t have much time to live, then he can be put in front of Ye Xishui. I believe that the public’s expectations for this man’s death penalty are not much less than Ye Xishui’s.”

The guide nodded. "I will convey your message to the warden exactly as it is."

Yan Shaozhe asked Huo Yuhao in a low voice: "Did Ye Xishui help this man block the full force attack of the Lord of the Worship Hall?"

"Yes," Huo Yuhao replied, "Because he is Ye Xishui's son."

Yan Shaozhe's face immediately turned a little greener. Huo Yuhao then continued, "Well, your ancestor should not be Zhongli Wu's father. After all, according to reason, you inherited the Phoenix of Light, which means you haven't mutated either, but you are too different from Zhongli Wu. Who knows - you'd better ask Ye Xishui."

Yan Shaozhe said nothing more, and the usher pointed to him tactfully: "Sir, Ye Xishui's cell is this one."

Seeing Yan Shaozhe walking towards Ye Xishui's cell ahead of him, Huo Yuhao waved his hand calmly, and a door of the undead appeared in Zhongli Wu's cell. The door was torn open by a pair of sharp dragon claws, and Jiangyang poked out half of a huge dragon head.

“He will be executed soon,” Huo Yuhao said in a voice transmission, “You can look for anything on him that can help you cultivate. Last time, only the Bone Dragon King was outside. Now you can look for other beast spirits. You can bring them to the Undead Demiplane to free them.”

"Understood, Master." Jiang Yang responded immediately, and then turned into a human form and walked out. After absorbing the Bone Dragon King, he was promoted to a 100,000-year-old soul beast and survived the heavenly tribulation in the undead demiplane. His gray-purple hair, which was not short to begin with, now grew straight to his waist, and his index finger was as thin and white as a bone dragon.

The Fear Dragon clan was almost wiped out under the influence of Shrek. When Jiang Yang willingly gave his life to Huo Yuhao, he probably never thought that one day in the future he would be able to enter the realm of one hundred thousand years.

Huo Yuhao frowned and said, "I haven't been out for a long time. What did you call me?"

Jiang Yang covered his mouth. "I'm sorry, Yuhao." He said, and then he put one hand on Zhongli Wu's rotten chest and began to look for the beast spirit.

Huo Yuhao nodded to him, then followed Yan Shaozhe and came to Ye Xishui's cell.

In the dim cell, the old woman squatted on the ground with her back to the light, her gray hair spread out on the ground like a piece of wormwood. Without the Blood Soul Demon Puppet, her cultivation level dropped sharply. She only had three rings of soul power and a martial soul without any soul rings. At this moment, she really looked like an ordinary old woman.

“Ye Xishui,” Huo Yuhao spoke first, “I brought someone to see you; we both have something to ask you.”

"I have nothing to say," she answered. "You may go back."

"Really don't want to meet this person?" Huo Yuhao slowed down his tone, and said in a persuasive way, "After all... I thought you would be interested in the Light Phoenix Spirit." Ye Xishui's hunched shoulders stiffened for a moment. She obviously thought of something. After a long silence, the old face turned around, and the wrinkled face was cut into pieces of light spots by the rectangular light and shadow cast by the prison gate.

After seeing Yan Shaozhe's face, her cloudy eyes seemed to sparkle for a moment. "Your face..." Her voice trembled a little, "Come here, child, let me take a closer look!"

Yan Shaozhe hesitated. Just knowing that the person in front of him was Ye Xishui, the female devil with the cultivation of the Ultimate Douluo, the soul masters would be alert and fearful. Huo Yuhao made a gesture of invitation to him: "Don't be afraid, Dean Yan, she can no longer hurt us."

After Huo Yuhao finished speaking, Yan Shaozhe finally took a step forward and put his face close to the door. Ye Xishui stared at the face blankly, repeatedly examining it, as if trying to confirm whether what she saw was the shadow of that person. Finally, she stretched out her pale, long-nailed hand towards Yan Shaozhe's face, but trembled before she stretched it out to the door.

Huo Yuhao used mental interference to warn her. She could look, but she could not touch. Although Yan Shaozhe was now level 97, he should not be unable to dodge, but if he was distracted, Ye Xishui would jump up and scratch his eyes, which would not be worth it.

"Child, who is your father? Who is your mother?" Ye Xishui asked while holding the iron railing.

"I don't know." Yan Shaozhe said, "I grew up in Shrek."

"Shrek..." Ye Xishui let go of her hands dejectedly and covered her face with them, "Yes, that's right, I threw the child in the direction of Shrek... There is a shadow of Xiaoyao everywhere on your face..."

At this moment, Huo Yuhao was also a little shocked. Although he guessed that Yan Shaozhe was Ye Xishui's descendant, he had never thought that this lineage was actually related to Long Xiaoyao. He still underestimated the degree of distortion between the love stories of the older generation.

He heard the movement in the cell next door. The corridor was so quiet. Amid Zhongli Wu's unconscious and violent breathing, there was also a rustling sound from Long Xiaoyao's cell. An equally old face leaned against the door and looked over here. Long Xiaoyao heard it - Huo Yuhao could see that he was also shocked.

So, Ye Xishui told this story for the first time. How she lied to Moon and Long Xiaoyao, how she gave birth to Long Xiaoyao's child and then abandoned him, how she was violated by Zhongli Laogui and forced to give birth to Zhongli Wu, and how she frantically took over the position of the Supreme Leader of the Holy Spirit Church.

After hearing the end, Yan Shaozhe's face turned pale, Long Xiaoyao's eyes flickered with despair, and although Huo Yuhao's heart was agitated at first, he felt uncomfortable after listening for a long time. This twisted love story... Ye Xishui still only picked out the parts that were beneficial to him: about her tragic experience and her helplessness. But how did she become the Holy Spirit Church Saint with a clear mind? He and Chi Qiu wanted to be undercover at the time, so they could only pretend to have been brainwashed. There were still too many sins in the middle that were erased by Ye Xishui without a sound.

However, it doesn't matter anymore. Ye Xishui has been sentenced to death and will have to pay for her sins in front of everyone. This payment is actually far from enough, but the laws of the world do not have a more devilish punishment.

"I didn't expect it..." Ye Xishui murmured, "I didn't expect that the child actually survived and left behind offspring... I can say that my life has not been lived in vain..."

Yan Shaozhe looked at Long Xiaoyao, as if he wanted to find some comfort. However, Long Xiaoyao's expression was even more sad and desperate. He was tracing Yan Shaozhe's face, but he didn't know where Ye Xishui's words "my shadow is everywhere" were. He had gotten used to his old face, but in Ye Xishui's memory, he was still the young man when she fell in love with him.

“Senior Long,” Huo Yuhao looked at Long Xiaoyao. This was his last sign of respect. “Do you still want to die with her? I will respect your opinion.”

Long Xiaoyao smiled bitterly as he looked at this junior. He had an impression of Huo Yuhao. When Sun Moon and Shrek exchanged students, Huo Yuhao brought his friends to him for advice and asked him to temporarily let those people from Shrek go. At that time, Huo Yuhao really looked like just an outstanding young student. A few years later, everything had changed like this.

"Do you want me to die like this?" His voice was hoarse. "What else do you want me to do?"

"In fact, the Sun Moon Empire may be in trouble in the future. If you can recover your cultivation, you can really help a lot. If you want to die, maybe you can help me in this matter. But I remember that the file said that you are from the Sky Soul Empire. I am afraid you are not willing to help."

Long Xiaoyao fell silent.

“Don’t force it,” Huo Yuhao said, “I will never force anyone on this matter. If you want to go with her, go ahead. I will arrange it quickly.”

"...I still want to be with her." Long Xiaoyao said, "I'm not afraid of your mockery. I've lived like this in my life, so let me grab the last straw and drown myself."

“I won’t laugh at you.” Huo Yuhao nodded, “I understand.”

Long Xiaoyao paused, then said, "Do you remember the Holy Spirit Church's base headquarters?"

"Remember, what happened?"

"There are some things under the last layer. I guess you haven't found them yet..." Long Xiaoyao said, "She and I have to thank you. Knowing that the descendants of our children are alive and well is at least a comfort. Go find something there. If what you said requires help from someone of my level, there must be something there that you can use."

Huo Yuhao nodded silently. Then, he turned to Ye Xishui again: "Well, can I ask you something now?"

"Ask it." Ye Xishui seemed to have taken off the last layer of armor. She was now completely defenseless. "Xiaoyao is right. I have to thank you."

"What happened to the earthquake in Luoyue City?" Huo Yuhao asked directly.

However, Ye Xishui showed a genuine blank expression. "This has nothing to do with me," she said. "This is not something I arranged. I don't have the energy for it."

Huo Yuhao then took out the Moonlight Blade.

"Is this your carving knife?" he asked.

"I made it with new rare metals. The person who submitted the materials said that new rare metals were found in the earthquake-stricken area of ​​Luoyue City. I knew at a glance that it would be a waste of talent to use it as a soul guide, so I used it to make the ranking engraving knife."

"If it wasn't for your instructions, who else in the Holy Spirit Church has the power to instruct people to carry out such an inhumane plan?"

"I thought it was Zhongli Wu's idea. I wonder what kind of channels he found." Ye Xishui shook her head. "Isn't it?"

Huo Yuhao stopped talking and raised his hand towards Jiang Yang. After a moment, Jiang Yang pulled out a woman. This woman was Yin Yun's sister, who claimed to be the one who started the disaster.

"Check it out." Huo Yuhao said.

Yin Yu's legs started to tremble when she saw Ye Xishui. However, at Huo Yuhao's request, they checked the information. Yin Yu raised her head and said, "The person who told me this should not be the Supreme Leader... Now that I think about it, there seems to be nothing under that black robe of the Holy Spirit Church. It must be haunted."

“It seems that the person who gave the order was not from the Holy Spirit Sect?” Huo Yuhao rubbed his brows. (End of this chapter)
