Peerless: Tang San, this time Huo Yuhao is the attacker.

"The rumors were all lies. How could Young Master Hua Bin be the kind of coward who wouldn't dare to keep his promise?"

"As expected of the marshal's son, he certainly has guts!"

"To remain so calm after breaking his leg, Young Master Hua Bin is truly an exceptional person. It's just that his smile looks a bit strange."

"You don't know anything! This is the smile of a genius, this is the confidence of Young Master Hua Bin. Even with a broken leg, he can still become a pillar of our Xingluo nation."

"You can always trust Xingluo Baihu! They will never let us down. I really miss the days when the White Tiger King was in power."

"Not you, buddy?"

……

Looking at the intelligence he had gathered, Dai Hao was extremely satisfied. As he had expected, making Dai Huabin parade through the streets in a wheelchair this morning was indeed a good move.

Dai Huabin's calm and approachable demeanor will become the cornerstone of the White Tiger lineage's revival, and also the lever to shake the Xu family's royal family.

Whether Dai Huabin is genuinely calm and approachable is not important; he'll be fine after taking some medicine.

This drug was originally developed for interrogating criminals, with the effect of weakening the target's resistance to make it easier to extract information.

"The restoration still needs to be laid out. First, let's show the people the prosperity and glory when Baihu was in power."

After a moment's thought, Dai Hao temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​directly spreading the news of the White Tiger's restoration of the royal family.

The intelligence report about missing the White Tiger royal family was spread by his people, but it wasn't very effective, and the public might not be able to accept it for the time being.

The good news is that when people heard about the White Tiger's revival, their first reaction was surprise rather than resentment.

This means that they actually didn't have much of a conflict with the Xu family's downfall and Baihu's succession, which is exactly what Baihu's lineage needed.

The Imperial Palace.

"Brother, Dai Huabin appeared in front of the public today with a disabled appearance, and public opinion has now shifted in favor of the Dai family."

Xu Jiawei flipped through the intelligence he had compiled, his eyes filled with solemnity. He had never expected that Dai Hao would go to such lengths for his own son.

They naturally had information about Dai Huabin. He was an eleven-year-old Soul Master, whose talent surpassed that of his older brother, Dai Yueheng. He was also the only descendant of the Dai and Zhu families who could release the Netherworld White Tiger.

With Zhu Lu's good talent and the support of her Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Dai Huabin will definitely surpass Dai Hao in terms of raw strength in the future.

Dai Hao just cut off his son's head without hesitation, leaving Xu Jiawei unsure whether to praise or criticize him.

On the one hand, Xu Jiawei admired Dai Hao's ruthlessness in not hesitating to harm his own flesh and blood for the sake of the White Tiger lineage, but on the other hand, he despised his cold-bloodedness in using any means necessary to achieve his goals.

Put yourself in their shoes. Imagine someone who has been arrogant and domineering for a long time makes a bet with someone that he will break his leg. If he loses, he won't admit it and it will cause a huge uproar.

He will only seek out the other party to the bet, whether through peaceful negotiation or underhanded threats.

Even if it meant losing face as the King of Xingluo, he would not hesitate to protect his sister.

In this respect, Xu Jiawei was inferior. As an emperor, his temperament was naturally "cold," otherwise he would not have been able to sit on this throne.

The struggle for the throne is never without bloodshed, and killing one's own brothers and siblings is commonplace.

But he has a bottom line: he will do everything in his power to protect Xu Jiujiu, even if all the mistakes were made by Xu Jiujiu. As long as he has the ability, he will act without regard to the consequences.

Xu Jiawei knew that this bottom line was somewhat twisted, but at least he preserved the last shred of humanity he had as an emperor.

"It seems Dai Hao has made up his mind." Xu Jiawei's tone was calm, but his face showed a hint of fatigue.

"Brother, you mean...?" Xu Jiujiu's breathing became rapid, his pupils dilated unconsciously, and he was filled with shock and anger.

"Well, since Dai Hao chose to cut off Dai Huabin's leg to boost Baihu's reputation to its peak, he must be the one leading the charge, not Dai Yueheng."

"His Dai family has a strong foundation, and so does our Xu family. What opportunity could he possibly find to impeach us?"

Faced with the long-standing doubts, Xu Jiawei simply uttered four words: "Sun and Moon Empire."

Xu Jiujiu looked incredulous. She was able to discuss political affairs with Xu Jiawei, so her political acumen was naturally extremely sharp. She instantly understood what her elder brother meant.

But it is precisely because she has come to understand that she finds it even harder to believe.

"How can someone who deliberately allows the enemy to cause domestic turmoil and abandons his own people be worthy of being a ruler?"

"If he could abandon even his own son, how could he possibly care about the lives of ordinary people?"

Xu Jiawei maintained his calm expression, a stark contrast to Xu Jiujiu's intense emotional turmoil.

"You're right, such a person is indeed unworthy of the throne. I will not allow the Star Crown to end in my hands!"

When this matter was mentioned, Xu Jiawei's expression became solemn and serious.

No emperor could allow a dynasty that had lasted for thousands of generations to end in his hands, and Xu Jiawei was certainly no exception.

Shrek Academy.

"Yuhao, I never thought Dai Huabin would actually cut off his own leg."

Looking at the blood-stained, slightly shriveled severed leg in front of him, Wang Dong raised his eyebrows and spoke in disbelief.

"It's not necessarily that Dai Huabin cut it off voluntarily; he has an entire family behind him." Huo Yuhao put away the severed leg and picked up another leather bag that exuded an ancient feel.

"His father is the head of the Dai family, and a renowned Grand Marshal. Could anyone possibly risk offending the family head by punishing Dai Huabin?"

Xiao Xiao's gaze followed Huo Yuhao's movements and landed on the skin. Her fair and smooth face leaned closer as she asked curiously.

"What if the person who dealt with him is the head of the family?" Huo Yuhao replied casually. He knew in his heart that Dai Hao must have personally authorized the amputation of his leg.

As for whether he hired a highly skilled Soul Master or did it himself, Huo Yuhao didn't know.

He observed that the cross-section of the severed leg was quite smooth, with relatively intact muscle tissue and fibers, indicating that whoever chopped it must have done so swiftly.

"Surely not? Dai Huabin is his biological son, after all, shouldn't he?" Wang Dong hesitated, his pinkish-blue eyes searching.

"You yourself said Dai Huabin is his biological son. If he doesn't agree, who dares to cut off Dai Huabin's leg?"

"That seems to make sense."

Xiao Xiao shuddered. "It's terrifying. How could someone be so cruel to their own son? No wonder Dai Huabin has such a personality; it's clearly hereditary."

Wang Dong nodded in agreement. Huo Yuhao didn't reply, but silently activated his soul power. A small bone rose from the skin and floated in front of the three of them.

The soul bone is a deep, dark black color. On the surface of the bone, several deep purple stripes meander and coil. These stripes vary in thickness and appear extremely hidden against the dark background.

If you don't look closely, you could easily mistake it for a piece of coal.

Apart from that, the soul bone had no other characteristics. Huo Yuhao and the other two looked at each other and nodded in tacit agreement before walking towards the office building.

You can't make hasty judgments about soul bones. If you're wrong about them, fusion could even be life-threatening.

Therefore, the first thing to do after obtaining a soul bone is to determine its origin and age.

Their teacher happened to be an expert in martial spirits and spirit beasts.
