Of course, now that Huo Yuhao is here, he will definitely not allow Xue Kui to do such a thing. As for Xue Kui and his son, although they are not good people, they are still somewhat useful.

"Yes, senior, I will certainly do my best to complete the task you have entrusted to me." Xue Kui was overjoyed.

A moment later, Huo Yuhao left the place after asking Electrolux to set up a restriction on Xue Kui and his group.

As for the spies sent by the Douling royal family, and the reasons for the rebellion, that was naturally something Xue Kui and his group would have to figure out.

Of course, after leaving this place, Huo Yuhao did not return directly to the Sun Moon Empire. Instead, he used space magic to go to the Star Luo Empire to meet with Dai Luoli.

........

Star Luo Empire.

Star City, White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

A cold wind blew through the large trees in the courtyard, causing the branches and leaves to sway and collide, making a rustling sound.

Beside the tree, Dai Luoli looked up at the azure sky dotted with white clouds, and her mood became peaceful.

Since returning to the White Tiger Duke's mansion, he has inherited the position of White Tiger Duke.

After all, only two members of the Dai family's direct lineage remain alive.

Since Huo Yuhao joined the Sun Moon Empire, it was obviously impossible for him to return to Xingluo to inherit the position of Duke of White Tiger. In the end, the position of Duke of White Tiger could only fall to him.

"Your Grace, it's chilly outside. You should go back to your room and rest."

An elderly man in a white robe with piercing eyes, a wrinkled face, and a hooked nose approached and gently advised them.

"Old Liu, I am a Soul Master after all. Although the weather is getting colder, it doesn't really affect me," Dai Luoli said helplessly.

Old Liu is a titled Douluo who was saved by his grandfather. Since then, he has served as a retainer of the White Tiger Dai family and has devoted himself to cultivation, trying to become a Super Douluo.

The Dai family is now severely weakened, and Dai Luoli has inherited the title of Duke of the White Tiger.

To prevent any unexpected situations, Old Liu stayed by Dai Luoli's side, never leaving her for a moment.

"Your Grace, you must take care of your health. You've been overthinking lately, and your health has deteriorated considerably..." Old Liu looked at Dai Luoli, who was slightly thin and had a pale complexion, with a worried expression.

Chapter 719 Despite giving it his all, he couldn't win!

Dai Luoli withdrew her gaze from the sky, looked at Elder Liu, and said earnestly, "Elder Liu, I know my own physical condition. I am now a Soul Master, and my physical condition is quite good. There is no need for me to go back to my room to rest. It is still early. Why don't you guide my combat in the courtyard?"

In this world, strength is incredibly important. Without strength, you are nothing. If I possessed enough strength, perhaps I could avenge my father!

In fact, he had been in a state of severe distress since his father's death, which is why he looked somewhat haggard.

Dai Luoli originally wanted to go to the battlefield to avenge his father, but His Majesty, on the grounds that the direct bloodline of the White Tiger Dai family needs to continue, not only forbade him to go to the battlefield, but also planned to marry the little princess of Xingluo, Xu Yun, to him.

To be honest, he had always liked Xu Yun, and winning the heart of the beauty was a good thing to be happy about. But good things aside, his desire to avenge his father had never changed.

Old Liu looked troubled. He thought to himself that the Duke's main task should not be to cultivate diligently to seek revenge, but to get married as soon as possible and have more children.

After all, the direct descendants of the Dai family are now sparsely populated. Even though Huo Yuhao has Dai family blood in his veins, given the current situation, he will definitely not return to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

The responsibility of continuing the direct bloodline naturally fell on Dai Luoli's shoulders.

During the time he was protecting Dai Luoli, Old Liu also gained a simple impression of the current Duke of the White Tiger.

The Duke actually has a good personality and works hard enough, but his talent is really too poor. His awakened White Tiger Martial Soul is not pure enough, and his innate soul power level is not high.

So when he was eighteen, he was only a three-ring Soul Master. He probably would never become a Title Douluo in his lifetime. Becoming a Soul Douluo would already be quite an achievement.

"Old Liu!" Dai Luoli urged again.

"Your Grace, please be careful." Old Liu took a deep breath. He had no choice but to agree since the Duke had made such a request.

Of course, when guiding actual combat, he would not use excessive force, but rather take it upon himself to point out Dai Luoli's shortcomings in actual combat. With his title Douluo cultivation, he was more than capable of guiding Dai Luoli to point out his shortcomings in actual combat.

Dai Luoli nodded and said, "Okay."

As he spoke, he let out a low roar, and four spirit rings—two yellow and two purple—rose from beneath his feet. In an instant, the White Tiger Martial Soul possessed him, his body was filled with white light, his muscles swelled, and pure white fur grew out without any black markings.

Dai Luoli's eyes, however, remained unchanged and looked extremely ordinary, clearly one of the defects of her own martial soul.

"Wait, Dai Luoli, instead of letting him guide you, why don't you let me guide you?" A male voice suddenly rang out at the courtyard gate, and Huo Yuhao's figure appeared.

He was still dressed in a black robe and wearing a mask.

"Who are you? What are you doing at the Duke's mansion!" Old Liu immediately shielded Dai Luoli in front of him, staring intently at Huo Yuhao with a wary expression. He was very worried about Dai Luoli's safety, fearing that something might happen to the current White Tiger Duke.

Huo Yuhao noticed that Elder Liu was protecting Dai Luoli and slowly said, "I am just someone entrusted by Dai Luoli's brother, Huo Yuhao, to come to the Duke's mansion to help Dai Luoli become stronger."

No matter what, Dai Luoli's mother had been kind to Huo Yun'er and her son.

As a concubine, she felt sorry for Huo Yun'er and her son's plight, so she secretly sent them food and clothes to help them get through the difficult years. She could not forget to repay this kindness.

Although he is no longer the original Huo Yuhao, having inherited this body, he naturally has to bear the karma of others and provide Dai Luoli with some assistance.

"Really?" A look of surprise appeared on Dai Luoli's young face.

"Your Grace, do not listen to this man's nonsense!" Old Liu's face was cold, his brows furrowed into a deep frown. "Although Huo Yuhao shares the same father as you, he has an extreme aversion to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. How could he possibly send someone to help the current White Tiger Duke become stronger?"

"Perhaps this person is an assassin sent by the Sun Moon Empire to kill you. However, Your Grace, rest assured, with me here today, no one can harm you. Now I will seize this man and interrogate him thoroughly!"

As he spoke, nine spirit rings rose from beneath his feet, their colors consisting of two yellow, two purple, and five black.

The next moment, his eyes shone with a lustrous white light, as did his body. Soon, his muscles bulged like rolling mountains, and a pair of sharp white bull horns grew from the top of his head, reflecting a chilling light that sent shivers down one's spine.

His ninth spirit ring shimmered with a dark black light. The next moment, a wave of white mist swept towards Huo Yuhao from his center, petrifying everything in its path, from soil and trees to fallen leaves.

"Old Liu actually used his ninth soul skill, Petrifying Mist, right from the start!" Dai Luoli's face showed shock.

During this time, Elder Liu also gave him some inside information. Strictly speaking, the Petrifying Mist Soul Skill has no destructive power, but its control effect is excellent. The user can release a mist with a petrifying effect through this Soul Skill. Even a Title Douluo will be petrified for a moment when covered by the mist, and his soul power and mental power will be suppressed, making him unable to move.

At this moment, as Old Liu watched the petrified mist spread to Huo Yuhao's side, covering everything in its path with white-gray rocks, he wondered if this person had been scared out of his wits, which was why he was so motionless.

However, no matter what this person's true thoughts are, they will eventually be petrified, and then I will have the opportunity to interrogate them thoroughly.

Thinking of this, a confident smile appeared on his face.

In fact, if this person hadn't infiltrated the heavily guarded Duke's mansion undetected and whose strength was unknown, he wouldn't have used his ninth soul skill right away.

Huo Yuhao secretly activated the divine fire, lightly lifted his right foot, and then quickly stomped down. The next moment, ice rose up from the ground like bamboo shoots after a rain, the air temperature dropped sharply, and waves of ice formed, rushing towards the mist.

Soon, the two collided, the fog was quickly frozen, and the ice tide rushed towards Old Liu with unstoppable momentum.

Seeing this, Old Liu was shocked. His pupils contracted and his face changed drastically. He never expected that his ninth soul skill would be completely crushed one day.

"This person actually possesses the ultimate ice martial soul, which is similar to Huo Yuhao's. However, this person's strength is far superior to Huo Yuhao's." He felt the low temperature and couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time, Old Liu grabbed Dai Luoli and flew into the air towards the Star Luo Imperial Palace. In his opinion, protecting Dai Luoli's safety was the most important thing.

But the ice tide seemed to have eyes, relentlessly pursuing it and quickly catching up with Old Liu, enveloping his entire body. Almost instantly, Old Liu was turned into an ice sculpture, unable to move.

This scene was naturally seen by the guards patrolling nearby, who all activated their flying soul tools and flew towards the backyard.

"Your Grace, what has happened?" a tall guard asked.

Thanks to Huo Yuhao's precise control over the ice, Dai Luoli was not frozen. Instead, he was able to float in mid-air thanks to his flying soul tool. Of course, he didn't dare to run away now, for fear of following in Liu Lao's footsteps.

Faced with the guard's questioning, he could only grit his teeth and explain, "Old Liu encountered a mysterious man in black robes. The extreme ice was as strong as a monster. He tried his best, but he couldn't defeat him!"

Chapter 720 I will solve your martial soul problem first.

At this moment, the guards were shocked, and their eyes all fell on Huo Yuhao.

After all, among everyone present, only this person was dressed in black robes, clearly the black-robed man who defeated Elder Liu, as mentioned by the Duke.

They all took out soul-guided cannons from their storage rings, aimed their dark muzzles at Huo Yuhao, and poured their soul power into the cannons, causing various colors of light to condense at the muzzles.

The hands of everyone gripping the soul-guided cannon trembled slightly.

After all, aiming the soul-guided cannon at a powerful figure who could crush Elder Liu was undoubtedly courting death. However, in order to repay the Duke's kindness, they could not back down at this moment and had to stand up.

Even at the cost of our lives, we must cover the Duke's retreat!

The captain of the guards said sternly, "Your Grace, let's go! Leave this place to us!"

Upon hearing this, tears welled up in Dai Luoli's eyes, but he had no intention of retreating. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "Stop! Don't point the soul-guided cannons at the senior. With your strength, even if you fire, you won't be able to hurt a single hair on his head."

Hearing this, the guards hesitated, but still put down their soul-guided cannons. After all, Dai Luoli was the White Tiger Duke, and in principle, they, as guards, had to obey Dai Luoli's orders.

Huo Yuhao deliberately said, "Dai Luoli, aren't you afraid that I'll suddenly attack and kill you? The strongest people in the Duke's mansion have already lost their ability to resist. You are nothing but chickens and dogs in front of me."

“Senior is joking. With your strength, you could have easily killed everyone present quickly. The fact that you didn’t choose to kill them immediately means there’s still room for maneuver. I’m starting to think that what you said before might actually be true,” Dai Luoli calmly analyzed.

Previously, as an illegitimate child with poor talent, he had suffered a lot of disdain from Dai Yueheng, Dai Huabin, and even the Duchess, so he lacked confidence and was naturally unable to calmly analyze the situation at such a critical moment.

Having experienced many things and become the current Duke of White Tiger, he has matured considerably and his mental fortitude has improved.

Huo Yuhao waved his hand and said softly, "That's right, of course I won't kill you. You and the others can come down."

The guards, hovering in mid-air on their flying soul tools, hesitated and looked at Dai Luoli.

Dai Luoli said calmly, "Didn't you hear what the senior said? Everyone should stay in the backyard!"

"Yes!" the guards replied in unison.

Soon, everyone fell from mid-air.

As for Old Liu, although he was unable to move, under Huo Yuhao's soul power control, the ice sculpture Old Liu successfully landed on the ground in the backyard. However, the extreme cold still lingered, and if anyone got too close, they would feel a chill that seemed to penetrate to the bone.

Of course, although Liu Lao's soul power and mental power were suppressed and his body could not move, his consciousness still existed, and he could hear the sounds of the outside world and see the scenes outside.

Huo Yuhao's gaze swept over the guards, and a mental attack arrived in an instant. Of course, it was not a soul skill, but an attack method that condensed and released mental power. The reason for not using a soul skill was mainly because these guards were too weak. If he used a soul skill, he would really kill them.

The attack method of projecting and condensing spiritual power can be controlled with extremely precise power. In an instant, the guards felt a dizzying sensation as if the world was spinning, and then everything went black as they all fell to the ground.

Bang bang bang!

Dull sounds echoed in the backyard. Fortunately, the physical abilities of Soul Masters far surpassed those of ordinary people, so the guards were not injured, but simply closed their eyes and fell into a coma.

"Senior, what did you do to them?" Dai Luoli's expression changed slightly.

"It's nothing, they've just temporarily fallen into a coma. They're fine and will wake up soon. We can't let these guards know what we're going to talk about next," Huo Yuhao explained patiently to Dai Luoli.

Upon hearing this, Dai Luoli's expression softened considerably.

Huo Yuhao continued, "Dai Luoli, you may still be wary of me, which I understand. After all, I only demonstrated my strength and didn't explain some details, so it's not enough to gain your trust. In fact, your brother Huo Yuhao told me some things..."

As he spoke, he began to recount some of Huo Yun'er's observations, experiences, and feelings during his time at the White Tiger Duke's mansion, as well as the rescue that Dai Luoli's mother had provided to Huo Yun'er and her son, in order to gain Dai Luoli's trust.

After a moment, Dai Luoli believed Huo Yuhao's words. After all, some of the details in his words were too real. He was somewhat moved: "So my brother asked you, senior, to help me become stronger in order to repay a debt of gratitude."
