Huo Yuhao stood up and opened the door. Seeing the pretty figure standing outside, he asked with some surprise.

"Your Highness, why are you here so early? Is there something urgent?"

Looking at Huo Yuhao in loose pajamas and with messy hair, who was obviously just woken up by her, Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but glare at him, and the emotions that had been suppressed all night suddenly broke out.

"Did you manage to sleep last night? Weren't you afraid that Dai Hao would get desperate and send someone to secretly murder you at night?"

Last night, she and Grandma Manyi didn't sleep a wink at all, staring intently at every movement inside and outside the Xinghuang Hotel.

As a result, the real owner looked so carefree, which made Xu Jiujiu feel a little angry.

"What's the point of being afraid? After all, aren't you in the royal family also hoping Dai Hao will take action so you can find something to hold against him?"

Huo Yuhao spoke helplessly, stepped aside and gestured for Xu Jiujiu to walk into the living room.

But as soon as Xu Jiujiu walked in and saw the scene in the living room, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The silver-haired girl in silk pajamas was lazily lying on the sofa, her long white legs crossed, eating the cakes on the coffee table in small bites.

If she remembered correctly, this should be the head teacher of Shrek Academy.

Early in the morning, both of them were in the room, still wearing pajamas...

Are you guys from Shrek Academy so open-minded when it comes to playing?

But now is obviously not the time to eat melons.

After taking his seat, Xu Jiujiu quickly gathered his extraneous thoughts and said straight to the point:

"Dai Hao ran away. He claimed that an evil spirit master had appeared in the Mingdou Mountains and that the Western Army Group was unable to deal with him. He directly appealed to my royal brother for help, requesting that he return to the Western Army Group immediately.

This news was reported by his subordinates early this morning, but in fact, he may have left the White Tiger Duke's Mansion at midnight last night."

Chapter 163 Huo Yuhao Stands on the Earth

When Huo Yuhao heard this, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

Dai Hao, ran away?

He was running in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to wait for Xu Jiawei's official approval?

In the previous life, even Cheng Gang dared to sneak into the Xinghuang Hotel and attack him.

What he revealed on the competition stage would only put more pressure on Dai Hao. He originally thought that Dai Hao would let Xuanji Douluo attack desperately.

Deserting from the battlefield is not Dai Hao's style.

Unless he finds a way to turn the situation around that is safer and more promising than taking risks.

One that makes him feel that as long as he endures temporarily, he will be able to make a comeback in the future.

The only thing that could give him such confidence is that something big has happened on the side of the Xingluo royal family.

Huo Yuhao subconsciously picked up a piece of cake on the coffee table and took a bite. The slightly sweet taste made his mind, which was a little confused after waking up early, a little clearer.

He couldn't help but think of the elusive head of the Imperial Worship Hall in his previous life, and asked, "Your Highness, I wonder where the head of the Imperial Worship Hall is now?"

Hearing this irrelevant question, Xu Jiujiu was obviously stunned, but still responded truthfully:

"The Hall Master began seclusion over a year ago, seeking a breakthrough in his realm. He will not come out easily unless our Xingluo Royal Family encounters a catastrophic disaster."

Huo Yuhao's lips moved slightly and he glanced at Gu Yuena beside him.

Gu Yuena was nibbling at the pastries when a platinum color flashed in her purple eyes. After a few breaths, her ethereal voice sounded calmly.

"She's dead."

Xu Jiujiu's face was filled with confusion. "Who died?"

After swallowing the cake in her mouth, Gu Yuena picked up another piece and added, "Your worship hall master has been dead for several months."

No matter how slow Xu Jiujiu was, she realized what Gu Yuena meant. She suddenly stood up from the sofa, and the expression on her face became extremely serious.

"I need to go back and confirm this matter with my brother immediately, so I won't stay any longer."

Watching Xu Jiujiu preparing to leave in a hurry, Huo Yuhao calmly said, "Please tell His Majesty that I actually hate trouble. If someone doesn't want to be respectable, then I will help him be respectable."

Although Huo Yuhao's words were very calm, Xu Jiujiu could still hear an indelible chill in them.

She subconsciously glanced at the silver-haired girl who had been eating cakes the entire time, nodded with forced composure, and said, "I will tell my royal brother the truth."

……

As the sun sets in the west, the distant sky is dyed a bleak dark red.

The White Tiger Guards, clad in silver-white armor, lowered their heads slightly and reported their location to Dai Hao, who was riding on the majestic white tiger.

"Marshal, once we cross the Mingdou Bridge, ten miles ahead, we'll officially enter the Mingdou Mountains. Do you think we should continue on, or set up camp and rest for the night?"

Even though these White Tiger Guards were all elite warriors above the Soul Master level, they could not hide the fatigue on their faces after two full days of intensive riding.

Dai Hao's eyes remained grim, and he did not answer immediately.

Two days had passed since they left Xingluo City, and the journey had been smooth, completely different from his expectation of being pursued.

But for some reason, the closer he got to the Mingdou Mountains and the closer he got to the control area of ​​the Western Army Group, the stronger the inexplicable sense of panic in his heart became.

Before he could think about it, a scout who had returned from exploring the way ahead knelt on one knee with a look of confusion on his face.

"Report, Marshal. There's a young man standing in front of Mingdou Bridge. He specifically wants to see you, Marshal."

"one person?"

Dai Hao's expression instantly turned ferocious, and a powerful soul energy burst out from him uncontrollably. He had not expected the other party to be so arrogant.

No, it would be better to ask, what exactly does Huo Yuhao want to do?

Could it be that he really thought that he was an Extreme Douluo and dared to disregard his identity as the Imperial Marshal?

"Yes, Marshal. I have only detected the presence of one person."

Facing Dai Hao's sudden burst of terrifying momentum, the scout lowered his head even lower and said, "Marshal, do you think we should bypass Mingdou Bridge, or..."

"Let's go. If we go somewhere else, won't he block us in front?"

Dai Hao shook the reins suddenly, and the white tiger colt under his crotch let out a low roar, then took the lead and galloped forward.

"You all stay where you are and keep an eye on the carriage that's escorting the young master. Remember not to make any mistakes. Violators will be punished by military law!"

"Yes--"

Dozens of White Tiger guards who were guarding an exquisite carriage responded in unison.

Dust was flying, and in just half a cup of tea, Dai Hao suddenly pulled his white tiger horse and stopped a hundred meters in front of the bridge.

He looked at the black-haired boy in front of the bridge, with a mysterious golden spear casually stuck in the ground in front of him.

Although he did not sense any oppressive aura from Huo Yuhao, it was clear from his attitude that he was not going to let him get through safely today.

Dai Hao's eyes flashed with brilliance, and strong mental fluctuations spread out from his body, reaching out to the surroundings. But just as the scout said, he did not sense any breath of other people around him except Huo Yuhao.

"Your Majesty Duke, you are well."

Huo Yuhao pulled the Golden Dragon Spear from the ground and pointed the tip of the spear at Dai Hao on his horse.

"Why are you so nervous? This is a personal feud between the two of us, and I won't let anyone else interfere."

"Yuhao, we are father and son after all. Blood is thicker than water. Is there any hatred that cannot be resolved?"

Dai Hao's face showed a genuine look of heartache, and his tone was full of regret.

"As for the debt you and your son have owed me over the past decade, if you give me a chance, I will do my best to make up for it."

"You'd better put away your hypocritical face."

Huo Yuhao walked slowly forward, the tip of his gun glancing across the muddy ground, making a metallic clanging sound that shook the air.

"I remember clearly that the propaganda in the Xingluo Empire has always been that the Duke is deeply affectionate and loyal, and has only one wife.

Even the Duke often teaches others that if a man cannot control his desire for women, he will not achieve anything great.

At the end of his speech, Huo Yuhao seemed to be amused by his own words and let out a slight chuckle.

"Or does Your Excellency the Duke want to tell me that these words actually have nothing to do with you and that you don't actually love your Duchess at all?"

Dai Hao's expression became even more embarrassed, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.

These words were naturally spread deliberately in his early years in order to consolidate his position in the Western Army Group and even the entire Xingluo Empire as soon as possible.

You should know that the army marshals of other empires are all Titled Douluo.

He was able to hold on to this position with his Soul Douluo cultivation, and apart from Yu Ze, the former Duke of White Tiger, the praise stories circulating in the empire also contributed greatly to it.

"Does it really have to be so awkward between us father and son?"

"Then why don't you answer my question directly, or does Your Excellency the Duke simply not think he has done anything wrong?"

The smile on Huo Yuhao's face completely faded, and his blue-gold eyes grew even calmer. "I almost forgot. Back then, the Duke would rather give me another brother than care about my mother's affairs."

Dai Hao's face immediately showed deep regret, and his voice became hoarse.

"It was my wife at the time. She told me that Yun'er had fallen ill and died while I was away at war. That's when I...

I only learned the truth of the matter not long ago. Ignorance is not a crime. Shouldn't I have a chance to reform myself?"

Hearing this answer, which was almost identical to his previous life, Huo Yuhao completely lost his patience and said coldly:

"You want a chance? Don't worry, you'll get one soon. Now, get off me."

The resounding voice suddenly transformed into an impassioned dragon roar, accompanied by a brilliant golden light. A huge and ferocious dragon head appeared behind Huo Yuhao, and a terrifying dragon might swept out.

The white tiger colt under Dai Hao's crotch was frightened by the sudden and terrifying dragon power and let out a shrill long cry, with its front hooves raised high uncontrollably.

Dai Hao, who had the cultivation level of a Soul Douluo, was also affected by the terrifying dragon's might. His soul trembled and he was in a trance for a moment. He had no time to steady himself and was thrown off the horse.

He got up from the ground in a miserable state, his face extremely pale.

Looking at Huo Yuhao who was slowly walking within twenty meters, the chill rising in his heart grew stronger.

"Huo Yuhao! Do you really disregard the bond between father and son? Aren't you afraid of being despised by the world if you kill me?"

Hearing Dai Hao's threat, Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"You're not worthy enough to talk about father-son love with me? But don't worry, there are many people who want to kill you, and it's not my turn to do it myself. To me, your only value is to kneel down and apologize to my mother."

Dai Hao, who had experienced thousands of battles, big and small, could naturally sense from Huo Yuhao's tone that there was no turning back.
