Peerless: After traveling through time, who would still want to be Tang San's son-in-law?

Chapter 244 Debt Collection

"lady?"

Cui'er looked around the room with a puzzled look on her face, but she didn't see the lady, as if she had disappeared from the face of the earth.

Cui Er suddenly shuddered, realized something was wrong, and screamed, "There's an assassin!"

The next moment, several gazes turned towards Madam Baihu's residence, and a figure suddenly appeared in Madam Baihu's room.

The man had a pair of strange eyes and golden hair mixed with some white hair. He looked like an old man from the White Tiger lineage.

"Where is the assassin? Where is the lady?"

The old man looked at Cui'er with a serious face.

"Just now, the Madam and the Second Young Master had something to talk about and asked us to leave. After the Second Young Master left, Cui'er knocked on the door but got no response. When she opened the door, the Madam was gone..."

Cui'er also quickly told everyone what she knew.

The old man's pupils shrank. To make his lady disappear in such a short time, the person who could do such a thing must be no simple person.

The commotion at Madam Baihu's mansion attracted a lot of attention, and people arrived one after another. Even Dai Huabin, who had just left, hurried over.

"Where's mother?"

Looking around, Dai Huabin couldn't see Madam Baihu, so he looked anxiously at the old man in the center of the house.

"Madam is missing," the old man explained in a low voice, and then told the others who had arrived one after another, "Search for Madam Baihu's traces from the Baihu Mansion. If you find any suspicious persons, kill them with all your strength."

"Yes!"

While a group of people were searching frantically, Huo Yuhao did not leave the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Instead, he wandered around the Duke's Mansion as if he was at home.

"Don't sleep anymore, get up quickly."

In the resting area of ​​the Duke of White Tiger's mansion, the Duke of White Tiger's butler rushed in in a panic upon receiving the order and directly woke up the guard on night shift who was resting.

"Quickly, search for the Madam from the Duke's Mansion, and kill any suspicious persons without mercy."

After giving the instructions, the butler hurried to notify the other guards.

"What the hell?"

A group of people packed their clothes and rushed outside, cursing.

"Huh? I almost forgot there were these two."

Huo Yuhao, who was not far away, noticed the movement here. It was not until he saw a few familiar figures that he remembered that he had missed someone.

It doesn't matter if someone is missed. Since they have been discovered, they can be dealt with easily.

Huo Yuhao, who was about to leave the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, turned around and followed the guards who were searching at the moment.

It was not until he got closer and observed them using their soul power to assist their actions that Huo Yuhao realized that these people were only at the second ring level.

At this time, their talents could not catch up with Dai Huabin, and they had long been left behind by Dai Huabin. They could only do odd jobs in Baihu Mansion and guard the house.

"Search separately and don't miss any corner."

The guy who seemed to be the team leader spoke, and the team that Huo Yuhao was following instantly dispersed and searched the streets and alleys.

The dark and narrow alley is really a great place to kill someone.

"A boring trick."

Huo Yuhao did not take action immediately while the crowd was alone, but looked up at the sky. In the field of vision of spiritual detection, there was a Soul Douluo overlooking the entire White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

Obviously, the top brass of the Duke of White Tiger's Mansion did not expect the guards to catch the bandits, but hoped to make a big noise to expose the bandits' flaws. Once the bandits who kidnapped Madam White Tiger made any noise in the city, the man in the sky would instantly take action and bomb that area into ruins.

Even if the criminals could survive, their location would be exposed and they would face an attack from the Duke of White Tiger's Mansion.

After all, it was indeed very strange that he could kidnap Mrs. White Tiger without anyone noticing, but it also exposed the fact that the other party did not want his identity to be discovered by Duke White Tiger.

Why didn't he want to be discovered by the White Tiger Duke? Either his identity was inconvenient, or he was not strong enough.

Generally speaking, the biggest possibility is that the strength is not enough.

The most direct impact of insufficient strength is insufficient soul power, which is not enough to retreat quickly, and limited soul power, which limits the duration of soul skills.

However, Huo Yuhao happened to be an accident. The invisibility ability that could hide from Moon was only his second soul skill, which was only at the thousand-year level. As long as Huo Yuhao wanted, he could maintain it for several hours without any pressure.

After taking a quick look and making sure there were no other problems, Huo Yuhao leisurely followed two of the guards, one fat and one thin.

"Damn it, we are expected to find something from this guy that even the higher-ups can't catch."

After entering the alley, the fat guard casually rummaged through the drawers and then found a clean place to sit down.

Although the guards who were traveling with him didn't say anything, their expressions clearly said: This is not good, right?
"Only a few gold soul coins a year, why would you risk your life for it?"

The fat guard cursed, "Go ahead and search if you want. I'm not stupid. Being able to hide from so many people and make Madam White Tiger disappear without a trace is not something we great soul masters can afford to offend. If you lose your life in vain, won't your family be finished? It's better to steal and have some free time."

"Well said."

Huo Yuhao on the side nodded.

This fat guard deserves to be able to stay with Dai Huabin for a period of time. He is much more clear-headed than Dai Huabin, that confused guy.

Unlike Dai Huabin, who forcibly killed a student of the No. 1 academy in the mainland, he was only protected by the old friendship between the Baihu family and Shrek, otherwise he would have paid with his life.

"Who is there!"

It took the fat guard a while to react, and he looked towards a corner of the alley with horror.

At some point, a black figure stood in the shadow of the corner, with a pair of faint blue eyes staring at them through the darkness.

“Senior…Senior! Please spare my life!”

With a thud, the fat guard slid to his knees with his head resting on the ground.

With the help of his peripheral vision, he saw the guy behind him still standing on the ground stupidly. The fat guard quickly grabbed his companion's sleeve and pulled him to the ground.

"Senior, we are just workers here, and we don't want to get involved in the feud between you and the Dai family. I hope you will show some mercy. I promise that no one else will know what happened today! Even...even if you want any information about the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, I can tell you. My family has been servants in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion for several generations, and we know a lot of secret information."

"You reacted pretty quickly..."

Huo Yuhao looked expressionlessly at the fat man who was rapidly sliding to his knees in front of him.

As far as I can remember, after Dai Huabin gave the order, this guy was the one who reacted the fastest and was the first to rush out.

Hearing this, the fat guard secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least he was not facing someone who was unreasonable. Perhaps there was still hope.

"It's true that you two are working here, but it seems like you've already been involved in the feud between me and the White Tiger Duke's family."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao summoned an iron rod and lifted up the fat guard's drooping head.

What he saw was a pale face covered in sweat. "Senior, you misunderstood me. I am just a small guard. How could I have any contact with you..."

As the view gradually rose, the fat guard's expression became more and more ugly.

In a sense, being able to see the thief's face means that he will be silenced.

"Eight or nine years ago, you beat me up and it was quite enjoyable. Have you forgotten it so quickly?"

Hearing this, the fat guard first looked up at the person in front of him blankly, until he saw those vaguely familiar eyes, his pupils shrank, and he said in horror:
"It's...it's you!"

Huo Yuhao chuckled: "It seems that you still remember it. It seems that I don't need to remind you."

The fat guard's sturdy body trembled and his muscles tensed, as if he was about to run away at the next moment. Then, as if he remembered something, his muscles suddenly stiffened.

"Sir, we were just following the orders of Dai Huabin back then, we were not the mastermind..."

The fat guard swallowed his saliva and said with a look of dismay, "I also know that I can't escape this disaster, but I dare to ask, sir, can you give me a quick death?"

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao was speechless: "Don't you want to struggle again?"

At the same time, he looked at the person on the other side who was motionless.

"And you, you don't want to say a word even now?"

"Your Excellency, this guy is a mute," said the fat guard. "Let's not talk about the fact that your Excellency can make Madam Baihu disappear quietly in a short period of time. Now that your Excellency dares to take the initiative to show up at this time, he must be fully confident. I shouldn't ask for trouble."

This guy……

Seeing the person in front of him so aware of the current situation and without any shame, Huo Yuhao felt bored for a moment.

"Forget it. After all, you are just doing the work. The main responsibility does not lie with you. It is enough to pay with your life."

The fat guard said in a trembling voice: "Thank you...sir."

"By the way, sir, I have one last question..."

"explain."

"Back then, there were several guards with good talents who joined the army for training. Your Excellency, would you please…"

"No wonder we couldn't find it after searching for so long."

Huo Yuhao muttered softly.

"Forget it. After all, they didn't take action at that time. Anyway, the war is imminent. It's a good opportunity for those guys to die under the soul guide cannon of the Sun and Moon Empire."

Hearing Huo Yuhao's muttering, the fat guard's face was full of regret.

I never expected that my deliberate attempt to please Dai Huabin would actually sow the seeds of such disaster for myself.

If I had known this earlier, why would I have been so flamboyant in my youth just to climb up a few steps? It would have been much better if I could just be an ordinary guard honestly like now and not offend anyone.

Unfortunately, it’s too late to regret now.

"Enough of the small talk. It's time for you to pay the price."

Considering that the two men had spent a lot of time killing him, two soul shocks directly dispersed their souls.

Looking at the two soul fragments that were slowly dissipating in front of him, Huo Yuhao suddenly said:

"Speaking of which, Elder Yi, since on Douluo Continent, the soul will be continuously decomposed into the most basic energy and transformed into one of the components of soul power, there will never be a day when the souls on Douluo Continent will be exhausted?"

Electrolux was silent for a long time before he said in a low voice, "Why do you think I'm here?"

Huo Yuhao paused.

It turns out that the souls of Douluo Continent are not like the underworld in the myths and legends of the previous life that can achieve self-circulation, so they can only capture scattered soul fragments or even souls from different worlds to replenish the number of souls for Douluo Continent.

However, why does Douluo Continent have such a weird upgrade system that even decomposes the soul of the entire world?
However, when it comes to the entire cultivation system, even if Huo Yuhao has some guesses now, he cannot find any substantial evidence, let alone change anything. He can only put these doubts behind him.

Huo Yuhao put the Zhuge Divine Crossbow hidden in his hand into the storage soul guide device, felt the soul power in his body, and forced himself to stand up.

It has to be said that the energy consumption of the martial soul fusion technique is really terrifying. If it weren’t for the fact that his mental power could replace soul power to consume the Spirit Eye martial soul after awakening the Eye of Destiny, Huo Yuhao would have been completely exhausted after a martial soul fusion technique. Not to mention maintaining the simulation, he would have been lucky to be able to stand firm.

After a short rest, he was able to use his soul power to run. Huo glanced at Dai Huabin, who was distracted, from afar, and left the White Tiger Duke's Mansion without looking back.

If nothing unexpected happens, Huo Yuhao will never come here again in his life.

As for the grudge between Dai Huabin and Dai Hao, there is no need to rush. Given the conflicts between the two sides and the future situation, they will meet again sooner or later.

After getting away from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, Huo Yuhao randomly found a cave to rest, then summoned the Gate of the Dead and stepped into it.

In an empty plain, a human-shaped ice sculpture stood there. It was the frozen Lady White Tiger.

Several hours had already passed by now, and the surface of the ice was showing signs of melting.

Huo Yuhao didn't have time to wait for the ice to melt slowly. He reached out and pressed on the ice. His soul power flowed, and the hard ice layer disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ah!"

Mrs. Baihu felt a chill and shuddered subconsciously, opening her eyes with a puzzled look.

What comes into view is the sun hanging high in the sky, emitting a strange purple light.

"here it is……"

Madam Baihu sat up suddenly and looked around, but there was nothing else in her sight except the inky black land.

After checking her body and confirming that there was nothing abnormal, Mrs. Baihu stood up and wanted to explore this unknown environment.

Suddenly, a faint voice sounded:

"Finally woke up."

Madam Baihu turned around suddenly and shouted angrily, "Who is it? You are sneaking around. Come out now."

"Madam is really spoiled and has no sense of crisis. Her first reaction at a time like this is not to activate her martial spirit."

Huo Yuhao slowly emerged, not forgetting to mock Madam White Tiger.

Madam Baihu's mouth twitched slightly, and she quickly summoned the Netherworld Spirit Cat Martial Spirit, "Who are you? What is your purpose in bringing me here?!"

"Yellow, purple, purple, black, no wonder he is only a Soul Emperor at such an old age. But this shouldn't be the case. With the Zhu family's means, can't they get the fifth soul ring of ten thousand years?"

Huo Yuhao did not respond to Madam White Tiger’s plan at all. Instead, he commented on Madam White Tiger’s spirit ring configuration.

When Mrs. Baihu heard the comment about her age, her back teeth were broken, but when she thought about how she was caught in this strange place without any preparation and the thief's methods were extremely strange, she thought it would be better not to provoke the other party.

After thinking for a while, Madam Baihu said, "Senior, why did you bring me here?"
