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

Chapter 248: Night Sneak into the Imperial Palace
What a joke! The academy hasn’t even communicated such important news to Teacher Fan yet.

After complaining about the efficiency of the academy’s cultural staff, Huo Yuhao continued to read the news from Douluo Continent.

As expected, the next large piece of intelligence was about the exchange of interests between mainland forces for the information on Mingde Hall.

Although the information was systematic, it was not something that one force could digest in a short period of time. So not only the royal family of the Xingluo Empire bought the information, but also the soul guidance departments of forces such as Shrek Academy, Nine Treasures Glazed Sect and the Heavenly Soul Empire came to get involved.

As for the Douling Empire? They must still be playing some kind of political struggle.

This is going to be fun. With the resources of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the assistance of the Shrek Soul Guidance System, the Xingluo Empire should not be as powerless as in the original novel.

Having said that, Huo Yuhao is still not optimistic about the border defense of the Star Luo Empire.

No matter how much soul guide data is stored in the database, it will not include the most important and advanced data, which include the information of the linked defense soul guide devices used by the legion and the ultra-long-distance detection soul guide devices, namely the soul guide satellites.

Without these two powerful weapons, the Xingluo Empire can at best barely catch up with the Sun-Moon Empire in terms of attack power, but its reconnaissance and defense capabilities will be suppressed.

Well, overall the plot hasn't changed much, after all, I didn't do much.

We have to wait a little longer. Our cultivation is too low, and the power we can leverage is too little. We can only think about many things.

Unless... to take advantage of the situation?

Huo Yuhao tapped the table lightly, thinking about what powers he could use.

Hey~
Gently putting down the information in his hand, Ye Guyi sighed helplessly.

"What, gave up?"

Huo Yuhao stopped thinking and looked at Ye Guyi’s frustrated expression with amusement.

Ye Guyi stretched and said, "Forget it. I'm not good at this. I'd better find a reliable force to be my thug."

Not to mention collecting intelligence, even with the ready-made intelligence in front of him, Ye Guyi couldn't see anything.

Huo Yuhao didn’t know what to say about this. In fact, in the past, Huo Yuhao was not that sensitive to intelligence. But as his cultivation improved, his mental strength became more active. Huo Yuhao thought more and more, and his ability to connect some minute details also improved a lot.

But Ye Guyi's next words...

It’s just a matter of writing “Let Huo Yuhao talk about the treatment” on his face.

However, Huo Yuhao was not in a hurry. After all, he knew his own business well. The help Huo Yuhao could provide to Ye Guyi now was very limited, and he could only make empty promises.

But to be honest, although Huo Yuhao had eaten a lot of cakes, this was the first time he was asked to draw cakes, and he might even end up making things worse.

In this case, it would be better to take Ye Guyi to visit the company's (not) business directly and let Ye Guyi decide for himself whether to join or not.

"I'm going to go out and do something after dinner. Do you want to stay here and rest, or go out and play with me?"

Ye Guyi asked doubtfully: "Where are you going?"

"Sun and Moon Palace."

------

"You brought me here just to show me this?!"

Ye Guyi roared in Huo Yuhao’s mind through mental sharing.

"Accident! Accident!"

Huo Yuhao quickly waved his hands, signaling Ye Guyi to be more cautious.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao and Ye Guyi used the simulation to sneak into the Sun Moon Palace, or to be more precise, the residence of Prince Xu Tianming.

Unfortunately, I ran into Xu Tianming and his imperial concubine...

Ye Guyi blushed and turned his head to ask, "What are you doing here so late at night?"

"See that shadow over there?"

Huo Yuhao did not explain, but marked a point in the spiritual detection.

Only then did Ye Guyi notice something strange in that place.

"Who is that aura? An evil soul master? He's hiding in the palace?!"

"Yes."

Huo Yuhao nodded and said, “According to intelligence, the Sun Moon Royal Family is very close to the evil soul masters, especially Xu Tianran’s lineage.”

"According to the intelligence, it is reasonable to speculate that Xu Tianran often uses evil spirit masters to eliminate his opponents. All the princes who competed with Xu Tianran for the throne died mysteriously at home. The most serious one was when Xu Tianran became disabled accidentally. After that, several princes suffered accidents in a short period of one month."

"And the reason we came here is naturally to try to find some evidence of the evil soul master killing the prince."

"Are you saying that Xu Tianran would send an evil soul master to assassinate Xu Tianming? Why?"

“Of course it’s because Xu Tianming is restless,” Huo Yuhao pushed up his non-existent glasses and said, “Originally Xu Tianming was kept by Xu Tianran for show, but now Xu Tianming has started to become restless. In order to eliminate the hidden dangers, Xu Tianran will naturally not keep Xu Tianming any longer.”

Ye Guyi nodded, and then asked, "Then how can you be sure it's today?"

"Ugh."

Huo Yuhao sighed.

As expected, I shouldn't have spent the time to teach Ye Guyi to think about the logic behind this.

It makes absolutely no sense.

When communicating with Ye Guyi in the future, just talk about what to do and don’t talk about other things.

After all, this is the case in Douluo Continent. The strong only need to devote themselves to practice, improve their cultivation, and refine their soul skills, while the weak have a lot of things to consider.

When Huo Yuhao saw that the noise in the palace had disappeared, he sneaked into the palace and left a spiritual mark on Xu Tianming.

"It's done, time to go."

Patting Ye Guyi's shoulder, Huo Yuhao signaled Ye Guyi to leave together.

"Wait!" Ye Guyi pointed at a shadow not far away and said, "Aren't you going to kill that evil soul master?"

Huo Yuhao asked puzzledly: "Why deal with him?"

Ye Guyi looked into Huo Yuhao's eyes and said seriously, "Didn't you say you wanted to eliminate all the evil soul masters?"

Huo Yuhao was speechless for a moment: "I really don't understand how you, with a divine attribute, can survive so long in the area covered by the Holy Spirit Church."

Seeing the clear stupidity flashing across Ye Guyi's eyes, Huo Yuhao patiently explained:
"Let's not talk about the other party's cultivation level, can we defeat him?"

"You know, we are in the Sun Moon Palace now. There may be Title Douluo-level evil soul masters in the palace. If we make a fuss and get targeted by the evil soul masters, we will both be finished!"

"Even if you are not targeted by the evil spirit master, sneaking into the palace is a taboo. If you are caught, it will be very troublesome."

Ye Guyi was choked up for a moment.
"But……"

Ye Guyi said unwillingly: "That's an evil soul master. If we don't kill him this time, who knows how many lives will be killed next time we see him."

"There is no other way. We can only make the civilians suffer."

Huo Yuhao sighed and said, “If we die, there won’t be many people who have the power to eliminate the evil spirit masters. A short-term sacrifice is to allow more people to be saved.” “Do you know? The current Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy is a level 99 Ultimate Douluo with the Holy Light Dragon spirit. He has been ill since a battle with the leader of the Body Sect in his early years, and has not appeared in the world for more than a hundred years.”

"During this hundred years, if the Level 99 Ultimate Douluo of the Holy Light Dragon Spirit could have used all his strength to attack the evil soul masters, wouldn't the evil soul masters have been forced into a desperate situation? At worst, they would have been forced into hiding and wouldn't dare to act so recklessly as they are now."

Ye Guyi looked disappointed: "How could this be?"

Huo Yuhao glanced at Ye Guyi and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his persuasion had worked.

If Ye Guyi was still as reckless as he was when he appeared in the original novel, Huo Yuhao would have to consider throwing Ye Guyi directly into the undead demiplane for a few years and then throwing him out after he was promoted to a higher title.

"You seem to have broken through to level 50. Do you need me to go soul hunting with you?"

Avoiding the patrolling guards, Huo Yuhao chatted with Ye Guyi in a casual manner.

"This... no need to trouble you."

Ye Guyi explained: "I noticed a suitable soul beast the last time I was hunting souls, but it was a little older, reaching the ten thousand year level, so I had to settle for an eight thousand year old one."

"With my current strength, I am capable of dealing with that ten thousand year old soul beast by myself."

“Okay,” Huo Yuhao nodded with satisfaction when he saw that he didn’t have to make another trip.

"By the way, that token has one of my spiritual imprints stored on it. If you need anything, you can contact me through the spiritual imprint. I can remotely perform spiritual detection and simulation to assist you, but the range of action is not as good as if I could do it myself."

"Spiritual mark?"

Ye Guyi was stunned. "So you also placed a mental mark on that Prince Xu just now? You can also observe the surrounding scenes through the mental mark?"

"Correct."

"I see."

Ye Guyi nodded, and at the same time, he made up his mind to throw the token given by Huo Yuhao into the storage soul guide device in the future...

It also has to be placed in a storage soul guide.

What should I do? Even the worst storage soul guide device requires a thousand gold soul coins. I don’t have that much money to buy another soul guide device.

Ye Guyi said awkwardly: "Um... can you lend me some gold soul coins..."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao threw a gold card to him without thinking: "There are 300,000 gold soul coins in it. Tell me when you have used it up."

Ye Guyi hurriedly took the gold card: "This... so many? I only need one thousand."

Huo Yuhao said casually: “It’s okay, it’s the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect’s money, just spend it as you like.”

Speaking of which, as an auxiliary sect, the Jiubao Liuli Sect has accumulated a very deep foundation in business over the past ten thousand years.

Apart from anything else, the market for the catering industry alone is worth hundreds of billions of gold soul coins, and Jiubao Restaurant has occupied both the high-end and low-end markets by relying on its food and price advantages, forcing other catering businesses to compete only in the mid-end.

Not to mention the Jiubao Chamber of Commerce, which covers all kinds of

The only thing that puzzled Huo Yuhao was that according to Huo Yuhao's test, the gold content of the gold soul coin was quite high. Does Douluo Continent have so much gold to print gold soul coins for the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect?

Who cares? It doesn’t affect Huo Yuhao’s spending anyway.

After saying goodbye to Ye Guyi, Huo Yuhao played alone in Mingdu for a few days before leisurely returning to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

"Teacher Fanyu, I'm back."

The first thing to do when you come back is to report your safety to your acquaintances.

"Just come back."

Seeing Huo Yuhao's figure, Fan Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Huo Yuhao said this a lot, it was impossible for Fan Yu to say that he was not nervous.

"Soul Sect? Are you satisfied with the fourth soul skill?"

Fan Yu also knew that something was wrong with Huo Yuhao, but he did not ask too many questions. However, he was quite curious about Huo Yuhao's spirit ring, which took him a year to hunt.

"Functional soul skills, which do not improve combat power much, but there are many areas that can be developed."

After vaguely describing the effect of the fourth soul skill, Huo Yuhao did not say anything more.

After saying hello to the academy, Huo Yuhao went to Xuan Ziwen's residence.

"Teacher Xuan, I'm back."

It was evening now, and Xuan Ziwen was just returning to the dormitory to rest.

"You still know how to come back?!"

Seeing Huo Yuhao, Xuan Ziwen rushed forward and grabbed Huo Yuhao's shoulders.

"Do you know that as an exchange student, you must report your itinerary to your superiors? Do you know how much trouble Ke Ke almost caused when you were not there when she came back? If I hadn't gotten away with it in the name of an experiment, the head of the Hongchen Hall would have gone to the Jingyang Mountains to look for you in person."

Huo Yuhao then remembered that he seemed to be an exchange student and his travel seemed to be restricted.

That’s not right. In the original novel, Huo Gua didn’t seem to say anything when he went out.

As expected, the original work can only be used as a reference, and some details have to be observed by oneself.

Huo Yuhao coughed lightly and said, “Ahem, Teacher Xuan, I’m sorry to bother you during this period of time.”

Xuan Ziwen chuckled: "If you know you are wrong, just give me a copy of the core magic circle of the saw you used in the previous competition."

"You mean the chainsaw? That's easy."

Huo Yuhao readily threw the design drawings of the core magic array of the chainsaw to Xuan Ziwen.

Xuan Ziwen excitedly took the drawing and examined it carefully.

However, the next second, Xuan Ziwen's expression turned ugly: "Are you serious?"

As he spoke, Xuan Ziwen slapped the blueprint in his hand on the table and said, "This is obviously just a variant of a lightning-attributed core magic array. If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. There's no need to use this thing to fool me."

"Teacher Xuan, don't get excited."

Huo Yuhao said calmly: "Teacher, what you and I want is the core array of the chainsaw, so there is no problem with this blueprint. As for the rest of the structure, why don't I just give you a chainsaw for you to study?"

After saying that, Huo Yuhao took out an electric saw and handed it to Xuan Ziwen.

"This is?"

As soon as he took over, Xuan Ziwen noticed that something was wrong with the feel.

With Xuan Ziwen's level, he had already touched most of the rare metals in the world, but at this moment he couldn't remember what material this was.

However, compared to what material the shell was made of, Xuan Ziwen was more concerned about how Huo Yuhao could achieve the rotation effect with a lightning-attribute core magic array.

You know, ever since Huo Yuhao showed off this chainsaw in the last competition, the researchers in Mingde Hall have been racking their brains trying to guess the principle behind it, but they still can't guess how Huo Yuhao did it.
