Douluo's Contract God King Huo Yuhao

Chapter 119 Mirror of the Mortal World's Friends

The guard relayed the message to Mingde Hall, where Jing Hongchen, who had been all smiles, turned ashen-faced.

Meng and Xiao are still in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy. If they were to adjust the agreement they made with Huo Yuhao now, wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?

He'd heard some rumors about evil spirit masters lately. You, Xu Tianran, are afraid of being targeted by Huo Yuhao, but I'm not, right?

Even Jing Hongchen was considering whether to join Shrek City for refuge.

It is known that the current emperor is nearing the end of his life, and the new emperor is likely to be a scoundrel who has made a mistake in managing Mingde Hall.

His two most beloved grandchildren happened to be in Shrek City, learning new soul guidance knowledge and cultivation techniques in the Shrek Inner Academy.

Why don't we pack up and run away with the family? He was terrified by the lingering power of Huo Yuhao's last battle.

He was afraid that one day Xu Tianran would find him and say, "Jing Hongchen, help me hold off Huo Yuhao and protect Mingdu."

That would be terrifying. None of the previous Sea God Pavilion Masters were this strong.

After much deliberation, Jing Hongchen made a bold decision: he instructed Lin Jiayi to deliver the invitation to Huo Yuhao.

With Xu Tianran's orders to protect them, this invitation is perfectly reasonable, and they must seize this opportunity.

Huo Yuhao had just received a large number of rare and precious herbs from Ju Zi when he saw a humble person and a gilded invitation.

Upon opening the invitation, besides a letter inviting me to dinner, there was also a small amount of information.

Huo Yuhao was stunned to see a purple-gold VIP card with a stored value of 100 million gold soul coins.

He really didn't know what Jing Hongchen was planning. After all, at this point in time, Jing Hongchen was still a loyal subject of the Sun Moon Empire in every timeline.

Little did they know that the Battle Armor and Demigod-level powerhouses were far too overpowered in this version, and the version balance had been completely broken.

It's just that Huo Yuhao's revenge was relatively benevolent; otherwise, Ju Zi would have switched allegiance to a wiser ruler.

At noon the next day, Huo Yuhao and Jing Hongchen sat facing each other in a private room of a top-tier hotel.

A luxurious crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling of the reception room, while elegantly arranged rosewood lacquered furniture is complemented by sculptures carved from real gold and silver.

This private room is arguably the most luxurious one Huo Yuhao has ever stayed in, even surpassing the one where Xu Tianran talked to him last time.

"Master Hongchen, you should speak frankly. There's no need to be so polite. I'm getting a little uncomfortable with it."

The moment they met, the old fox started showering Huo Yuhao with concern, offering him tea and water, and presenting him with gifts and cards, which only made Huo Yuhao more confused.

"Sect Master, Hongchen is a few years older than you, but in the history of the continent, the strong are respected, so Hongchen will call himself 'Brother'. Please don't take offense, Brother."

Since you asked, I'll just say it directly. I wonder if Shrek Academy is short of Level 9 Soul Masters, especially those with management experience.

My younger brother knows a level nine Soul Master who happens to have experience managing a Soul Guidance Academy. He's been asking me for help these past few days, so my brother is doing him a favor.

My friend not only manages Soul Masters, but also has many subordinates who are Level 8 Soul Masters, and they all serve him.

However, this friend has a small family. If you could help him with the relocation of his family, I can guarantee he would be extremely loyal.

Hearing Jing Hongchen address him as "brother" repeatedly, Huo Yuhao finally realized what was going on. Could it be that his friend's family is called the Hongchen Family?

He never expected that even the head of the Red Dust Hall would have thoughts of rebellion. This is truly wonderful.

"With the Red Dust Hall Master's recommendation, Shrek Academy, which has always welcomed talent, will certainly accept him. However, there is no turning back once you make this choice."

A fawning smile immediately appeared on Jing Hongchen's old face. With these words, the matter was half settled, so he quickly echoed.

"That's for sure. My friend will definitely give his all to support you, Brother Pavilion Master. You'll be satisfied then."

However, you should still be careful lately, as the Crown Prince said he hopes to end the exchange program ahead of schedule.

We can arrange for a few level-eight soul masters to temporarily teach at Shrek Academy. You can take this opportunity to arrange for some of your own people to go in.

However, I'll have to ask my brother to help out with the relatives of these Soul Masters beforehand.

Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement, unsurprised that Xu Tianran wanted to send the students back to the academy as soon as possible.

This was also one of his own advantages; there weren't many resources left to scheme for in Mingde Hall, so this was an unexpected bonus for the Red Dust Hall Master.

However, with Jing Hongchen gone, Mingde Hall was completely empty, and there was nothing left for the Sun Moon Empire to stay in.

Over the next six months, Huo Yuhao began a cyclical relocation of the Hongchen family's assets, even managing to move some of their real estate.

Having experienced ten thousand years in the realm of gods, Huo Yuhao's mastery of mental power has now reached a terrifying level.

The entire Mingdu was under his mental influence, and it was not impossible for him to destroy Mingdu in an instant.

If he wanted, ninety percent of the people would die peacefully in their sleep; he could be considered the uncrowned king of Mingdu.

Xu Tianran was unaware of all this and was still indulging in his daydreams. After Zhongli Wu was instantly defeated by Huo Yuhao, he decided to act more cautiously.

He didn't fully believe in the so-called God of the Holy Spirit Cult, and he wanted to use the Qiankun Asking Love Valley to try to completely eliminate Huo Yuhao.

Even if the problem can't be solved, at least Huo Yuhao should be kept under control for several decades. By then, when the situation on the mainland is settled, even if Huo Yuhao comes back, he'll have no choice but to accept it.

After all, the legendary god of love recently issued a divine decree that all those who disrespect him within the Valley of Love and Destiny will be judged.

Xu Tianran had previously sent several Title Douluos in, but they disappeared without a trace afterward. This was definitely a perfect trap.

As for how to lure Huo Yuhao in, doesn't the Holy Spirit Cult claim to have a way to fight against God? Luring a demigod shouldn't be a problem, right?

Even if he fails in the end, it doesn't matter. What does what the Holy Spirit Cult does have to do with the Sun Moon Royal Family? Is Huo Yuhao going to ruin the royal family because of this?

As Xu Tianran gradually perfected his plan, the Hongchen family had become a wasteland.

Every brick and tile was moved clean, and Huo Yuhao even dug out the foundation. Apart from some weeds, there was practically nothing left.

The final step was to empty the three large armories in Mingdu. Huo Yuhao quietly concealed himself and went there.

The impenetrable metal door had no effect on spatial power, and numerous soul-guided weapons vanished rapidly, leaving empty shelves.

Looking at the abundance of soul-guided weapons deep inside, Huo Yuhao took out more than two hundred storage soul-guided devices and used his mental power to control them to float up.

After today, all these soul tools will be his. He should start moving them quickly, or the Sun Moon Empire will go crazy tomorrow.
