Heavenly Soul Empire, Cloud Recesses, Haotian Sect.

Not far from Tiandou City in the Tianhun Empire, steep mountain peaks stretch out in a row, with one of the most majestic peaks soaring into the clouds.

"We've arrived. My home is on that mountain."

Wang Dong spoke towards the highest mountain peak.

Huo Yuhao raised his hand to his eyebrows, shielding his eyes from the blazing sun, and looked up.

That peak was so high that even the endless sea of ​​clouds only reached its waist.

Along the way, Wang Dong kept talking mysteriously about his home being in the Cloud Recesses, but Huo Yuhao never understood what he meant.

The Haotian Sect is located atop a high mountain, above the clouds; it truly is a place where the depths of the clouds are unknown.

Looking at the breathtaking scenery created by nature, Huo Yuhao felt much better after encountering Ju Zi on his journey.

Huo Yuhao followed behind Wang Dong and began to climb the peak. Along the way, Wang Dong gave Huo Yuhao a brief introduction to his family situation.

"What? You, you... how come you have two fathers?"

"Pah! Huo Yuhao, don't talk nonsense!"

Wang Dong continued, explaining that his two fathers were actually his father's brothers, and that he had never met his biological father and mother since birth.

As they talked, the two slowly climbed up to the top of the sea of ​​clouds.

After entering the clouds and mist, Huo Yuhao followed closely behind Wang Dong at his request. After passing through the cloud and mist maze of the Haotian Sect, the two finally arrived at the entrance of the Haotian Sect.

Haotian Castle, a castle perched atop a mountain!

Unlike the Sun Moon Empire's style of building with soul-guided technology, it is extremely difficult to build an ancient castle on such a high mountain peak.

Huo Yuhao immediately felt admiration for the so-called hidden sects.

Wang Dong was very satisfied with Huo Yuhao's reaction.

"Come on, stop spacing out, let's go in quickly." Wang Dong hurriedly called Huo Yuhao to enter Haotian Fort with him.

As soon as they entered Haotian Fortress, they heard footsteps, followed by a loud and deep voice.

"Let me see who's back!"

Surrounded by a group of Haotian Sect disciples dressed in gray robes, a tall, burly man and a handsome middle-aged man walked up to the two.

"Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle."

Wang Dong happily ran towards the two of them and then introduced them to Huo Yuhao.

Wang Dong pointed to the long-haired middle-aged man in white and said, "This is my uncle, you can just call him Uncle Niu."

He then pointed to the tall, burly man with short hair and said, "This is my second father. You can just call him Uncle Tai."

"Hello, Uncle Niu. Hello, Uncle Tai." Huo Yuhao bowed and greeted them.

"Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle. This is my good friend, his name is Huo Yuhao."

"Hello, Yuhao."

With Wang Dong's introduction, Uncle Niu also greeted Huo Yuhao.

But Uncle Tai didn't greet him in such a friendly way.

"Hmph, Xiao Dong's good friend? Let me see if you're qualified to be a guest of the Haotian Sect!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao felt an extremely powerful soul force pressure emanating from Uncle Tai, accompanied by an equally powerful mental pressure.

Under the influence of this mental pressure, Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea surged uncontrollably, a golden light appeared in his eyes, and his Spirit Eye Martial Soul activated on its own.

"Oh?"

Huo Yuhao actually blocked his pressure immediately, which shocked Uncle Tai. He slightly increased the output of his power.

The next instant, a purplish-black flash of light appeared on Huo Yuhao's chest, and then the visible pressure from Uncle Tai was instantly neutralized by that light.

With Uncle Tai's oppressive aura dissipating, Huo Yuhao's rampaging spiritual energy also ceased. Only then did Huo Yuhao realize that his back was covered in cold sweat.

Huo Yuhao never expected that Wang Dong's second father would be so powerful. Apart from Elder Mu, he had never seen anyone who had cultivated both soul power and mental power to such a high level.

"Second Uncle, what are you doing?" Wang Dong shook Uncle Tai's arm violently, while looking at Uncle Niu at the same time. "Eldest Uncle, look at him."

At this time, Wang Dong also noticed the strange behavior of his eldest and second uncles.

Both men wore expressions of dread, even the usually cheerful older man had a furrowed brow and an unspeakable look on his face.

Second Uncle, also known as Tai Uncle, spoke first: "Big Brother, I... I'm not mistaken, am I? That thing on his neck is..."

Uncle Niu, his eyes fixed on Huo Yuhao's neck, said, "Ah, you're not mistaken. I sensed the same aura as you."

"Uncle, Uncle, what are you talking about? What's wrong with Huo Yuhao?" Wang Dong's heart clenched as she looked at Uncle Niu and Uncle Tai, both of whom seemed very anxious, and she was worried about Huo Yuhao.

Our client, Huo Yuhao, also seemed completely bewildered.

"Kid, let me ask you something. Where did that thing on your neck come from?" Uncle Tai pointed a finger at Huo Yuhao's neck.

Neck?

Huo Yuhao then realized what Uncle Tai was referring to, and he took out the necklace made from Di Tian's reverse scale from his clothes.

After seeing the unique aura of divine retribution and the black scales that were unparalleled on this continent, Uncle Tai and Uncle Niu confirmed that it was indeed the one.

"Where did this chain come from? Do you know what you're wearing?" Uncle Niu asked.

Seeing Uncle Niu's cautious demeanor, Wang Dong also looked at the necklace.

Before Huo Yuhao went on an exchange program, he had never seen this necklace before, and he wondered what could possibly make his two fathers show such an expression.

You should know that his great-father, Uncle Niu, was always known for his composure in the Haotian Sect, but now he looked flustered.

What exactly is that necklace...?

"This necklace was a gift from my master, Zhang Mo. I know what I'm wearing. My master said it was to protect me," Huo Yuhao answered truthfully.

Uncle Niu and Uncle Tai exchanged a glance, then said to Huo Yuhao, "It's good that you know what you're wearing. We're afraid you might not know its origin and get harmed by bad people."

"Hahahaha! This necklace is so easy to misunderstand." Tianmeng's laughter rang out in Huo Yuhao's mind.

Huo Yuhao also expressed his helplessness, as he did not expect that the first time this chain would be of use would be at this time.

Uncle Niu said to Wang Dong, "Xiao Dong, your friend must be tired after traveling so far. He is a guest after all. Don't let him stand here any longer. Take him to the second floor of the castle."

Seeing that Huo Yuhao and his two fathers were speaking in cryptic language, but noticing that the heavy expressions on their faces had dissipated, Wang Dong temporarily set aside his worries and led Huo Yuhao to the second floor of Haotian Fortress.

Huo Yuhao waved goodbye to Uncle Niu and Uncle Tai in a friendly manner.
