Douluo: The Peerless Eye of Heaven Yu Hao

Huo Yuhao nodded, but didn't say much.

Xuan Zi ordered: "Le Xuan, you and Wang Yan go to the competition committee to register, and the rest of you can move freely, but remember, if you want to leave the hotel, you must report it. If anyone dares to go out without permission, I will punish him severely."

"As ordered."

Everyone responded in unison.

"Mr. Xuan, I have something to deal with, so I would like to request to leave the team." Dai Yuheng said.

"Go ahead, the sooner you go, the sooner you'll come back." Xuan Zi waved his hand.

"Yes." Dai Yueheng glanced at Huo Yuhao and Zhu Lu, and left with an expressionless face, following Zhang Lexuan and Wang Yan's steps.

Xuanzi didn't have much to communicate with the young people, so he left the space to everyone.

As soon as he left, the atmosphere suddenly became heated.

"Xiaotian, Xiaofeng, why are you two here?"

Yao Haoxuan flashed and came directly in front of Ning Tian, ​​looking at him in surprise.

"Do you know each other?" Xixi teased, "Don't just approach a pretty girl and try to make friends with her."

Yao Haoxuan's mouth twitched as he introduced: "Xiaotian is the young master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and Xiaofeng is the granddaughter of Senior Red Dragon Douluo. My family has a very good relationship with the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, so we can be considered old friends."

"Young Master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?"

Suddenly, many people were shocked. There were probably very few people in the entire continent who did not know about this sect which had a longer history than Shrek Academy. Not to mention that there was a statue of Ning Rongrong standing on the long bridge at the entrance of the academy.

"You can just call me Xiaotian. Here, I only have the identity of a Shrek student, nothing else." Ning Tian would not be proud of his identity. That was the behavior of a fool.

After she said this, everyone couldn't help but feel more favorable towards her.

“By the way, who brought you here?” Huo Yuhao asked curiously.

"It was an old man, but we didn't know him. He sent us to the hotel and then left." Zhu Lu spoke first.

Wu Feng and Ning Tian nodded.

"Old man?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Huo Yuhao’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Elder Mu was coming?

Perhaps because there were three more girls, all of them were extremely beautiful, Gong Yangmo and Chen Zifeng also joined the chat. On the contrary, Ling Luochen and Xixi shrugged their shoulders and looked for their own bedrooms to rest.

Since they were all young people, there was naturally a lot of topics to talk about, and everyone soon became familiar with each other.

The happiest person was Xu Sanshi, because with three more girls, the seniors hardly looked at Jiang Nannan anymore, and he felt relieved.

……

Star Luo Palace.

In the imperial study in the side hall, Xu Jiawei was looking at the progress book about the expansion plan of Xingluo City. This expansion will give Xingluo City an additional one-third of area, which can greatly alleviate the current housing difficulties. If it were not for the Fighting Spirit Competition, I am afraid that I would not be able to attract so many sponsors to help with money.

Suddenly, the door of the imperial study was opened, and the pretty and beautiful Xu Jiujiu walked in. She came to Xu Jiawei and said straight to the point: "Royal brother, the Shrek Academy's main force has arrived. At the same time, the Star Guards I sent out discovered that Dai Yuheng returned to the Duke's Mansion alone."

Xu Jiawei paused and said, "Continue to send people to monitor the White Tiger Duke's Mansion."

"I understand." Xu Jiujiu nodded.

"What are the results of your investigation? I have given you three Super Douluos to command you." Xu Jiawei said solemnly.

Xu Jiujiu looked grim, and said in a deep voice: "There are results. There are four dukes, twelve marquises, and twenty earls who have had affairs with the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and the Civet Duke's Mansion."

"All of these nobles come from the major cities in the southwest of the empire. Since the invasion of the Sun-Moon Empire, the southwest has hardly been affected by the war. Since our family became the royal family, we have not strictly controlled that area. Even though the empire does not allow nobles to establish fiefs, after thousands of years, their current living conditions are not much different from those of nobles with fiefs."

"They are almost like local tyrants in the local area. They secretly swallow up at least 40% of the taxes paid to the central government every year. At the same time, they use their power to protect each other to establish private trade lines on the sea, collude with pirates, and continue to make money."

"The most hateful thing is that the policy you issued to allow civilians to awaken their martial spirits for free was not passed down in the southwest, no, it should be the entire southern part of the empire. The people don't even know about it. If ordinary people in the area want to awaken their martial spirits, they either have to sign a contract to sell themselves or never think about awakening their martial spirits in their lifetime."

"This has led to these nobles controlling a large number of spirit master resources. Among them, the top few dukes' mansions even have Titled Douluo in charge."

"Since our family became an imperial family, each generation of emperors has had different policies towards the southwest. Some were harsh, while others were lax, but in the end, they were not dealt with well enough, which led to a situation where we could only raise a tiger to cause harm. Since my grandfather's generation, we have been suppressing and disintegrating these entangled nobles, which has caused them to be extremely disgusted and to form a group. However, they did not dare to truly resist the rebellion, so they found the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, which they believed was also in an unstable situation."

"The White Tiger Family was once the Xingluo Royal Family. They have a high enough status, and everyone knows about the discord between the Royal Family and the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. In addition, Dai Hao inherited and controlled most of the armies in the Western Army Group from his father, which made these nobles even more excited. They gave money and resources. Therefore, whenever there were policies targeting the southwest in the court over the years, the White Tiger Family tacitly did not express their views, while the Civet Cat Family would directly oppose it."

"At the same time, there are many officials in the court who have also accepted bribes, so they spare no effort to support the two major families."

"In the face of sufficient benefits, anyone would dare to risk their life to seek something that should not be touched. This is the list I investigated, please take a look, my brother."

After finishing his long speech, Xu Jiujiu took out a thick document and placed it on the Long Shu desk.

Xu Jiawei looked calm as he picked it up and began to look at it carefully. At this moment, he suddenly said something that shocked Xu Jiujiu, "Jiujiu, you do a good job, but you don't think it through thoroughly."

"I don't understand, please help me solve this puzzle, brother." Xu Jiujiu was stunned.

Xu Jiawei looked into her eyes and asked, "Do the nobles in the southwest really use the White Tiger Family as an important trump card to resist the royal family? Could there be other forces that are the real driving force?"

Xu Jiujiu frowned, but after a few seconds, his breathing quickened, as if he had discovered something incredible.

"It seems you have reacted."

Xu Jiawei nodded in satisfaction.

"Just like you said, Grandfather Emperor began to crack down on these southwestern nobles in his later years, and then the crackdown during my father's reign caused them to band together in rebellion, but they did not dare to fight the royal family directly, so they found a substitute, which was ostensibly the White Tiger Duke's Mansion."

"Because the White Tiger Duke's Mansion is perfect for being used as a cover."

"But don't forget, every time we planned to deal with these nobles first, the Sun-Moon Empire would always launch a small-scale local conflict at the right time to influence the direction of our court. And when we were determined to deal with these nobles first, the Sun-Moon Empire didn't even start a local conflict, and directly sent heavy troops to attack us."

"Do you think there is something fishy about this? If it is true as we guessed, the White Tiger Family is just a chess piece, a chess piece used to distract our attention. I have never thought of destroying the White Tiger Family, because unless an absolutely powerful spirit master appears within them, they will never be able to threaten the imperial power."

"Whether the Sun-Moon Empire is really doing something behind the scenes, we still don't know. It's all just speculation now, but we can use this fighting spirit competition as an opportunity to directly attack the nobles in the southwest and completely reverse the situation. After all, the eyes of the entire continent are now on us. Even if the Sun-Moon Empire wants to do something big, it has to weigh the consequences."

Hearing this, Xu Jiujiu's eyes lit up, "No wonder you, my brother, kept telling me to wait until the day of the competition to take action."

"Yes." Xu Jiawei nodded, "The Fighting Spirit Competition is the most appropriate time for us to take action. It will be difficult after that."

"What about the White Tiger Family?" Xu Jiujiu asked.

Xu Jiawei said: "I have sent someone to call Dai Hao back tomorrow so that we can participate in this event together. If the Sun-Moon Empire takes action when we are eliminating these nobles, I can take advantage of Dai Hao's absence and the White Tiger faction being leaderless to take back part of the military power of the group army. At the same time, I can also confirm that these nobles have already defected to the Sun-Moon Empire."

"Anyone who prevents me from sending troops to the Western Army Group will be directly punished for treason. But now, the plan we are talking about depends on whether the Sun-Moon Empire will give us the face to send troops."

"But... instead of passively waiting for the enemy to give you an opportunity, it is better to take the initiative to attract opportunities. When Dai Hao returns home tomorrow, you can secretly let the Star Guards who stay in the southwest spread the news that the Empire is going to take action against them. If they are quick, they will definitely notify the people of the Sun and Moon Empire."

"Dai Hao happened to be returning home at this time. If a conflict occurs, I will let Dai Hao stay in Xingluo City and select others to guard the border. As for these southwestern nobles, the smaller ones will kill the leaders and surrender the others. As for the larger nobles, there is no need to hold back and just exterminate the entire clan without mercy."

Xu Jiujiu nodded subconsciously. To her, these were major events that could affect the future of the empire. "I understand. I will make sure everything is arranged properly."

"No, you don't need to go. I've asked my second grandfather to do it. You just focus on preparing for the competition." Xu Jiawei's eyes were deep.

"Yes." Xu Jiujiu knew that the level of this matter was not something she could participate in now, and her royal brother was just teaching her how to deal with things.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. How's your Star Guardian preparation going?" Xu Jiawei changed the subject.

Xu Jiujiu showed a determined smile on his face, "I think it will definitely cause great trouble to the people of Shrek Academy. After all, this spirit skill has not been used by our family for many years."

"If we can still defeat Shrek Academy, then we will be able to kill three birds with one stone." Xu Jiawei said with a smile, "Go ahead, my brother still has to deal with government affairs here, so I won't talk about it anymore."

"Okay." Xu Jiujiu smiled sweetly, turned around and left, closing the door.

Chapter 147 Dai Yuheng: Don’t blame me for killing my own brother

The sun shines on the glazed tiles, emitting a dazzling golden glow. The huge building complex is located there, highlighting the extraordinary nature of this place. The mansion covers a total area of ​​3,000 acres, and countless people come and go. Here is a name that is familiar to the Xing Luo Empire.

White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

A straight passage connected to the main gate of the Duke's Mansion. The passage was twenty meters wide. On both sides, there was a century-old ancient tree every fifteen meters. A few beams of golden light penetrated through the leafy treetops like sharp swords.

There is a white tiger statue next to each main gate, which is lifelike and majestic.

The crisp sound of horse hooves echoed in the passage.

The guards in charge of guarding the gate stared at the person coming in front of them with sharp eyes. But soon, as the figure approached, the sharpness in their eyes turned into surprise. One of them, a middle-aged man with three scars on his face, stepped forward excitedly and said respectfully:

"Young Master."

Dai Yuheng rode on the horse and nodded with a smile, "I haven't been home for a long time. This time I happen to have time, so I plan to visit my mother."

The scarred middle-aged man waved his hand, and the other White Tiger guards opened the door immediately. He smiled and said, "Madam will definitely be very happy to know that you are back."

Dai Yaoheng smiled and nodded, then entered the huge Duke's Mansion under the gaze of everyone.

As Dai Yaoheng came along, all the servants and guards hurriedly saluted him. Although he had not been back for a long time, most of the servants and guards in the Duke's Mansion were lifelong employees who had lived here all their lives, so they would definitely recognize him.

But when he arrived at the stable, his gaze suddenly changed. On the far left, there were several horses that were completely black with purple hues, without a single strand of hair. This kind of horse was called a ghost horse, and was bred in the Duke of Civet's Mansion.

"Is there anyone coming from the Duke of Lingmao's mansion?" Dai Yueheng turned around and asked the manager of the stable.

The man quickly replied, "Yes, Master."

Dai Yuheng nodded, turned and left, walking towards the inner palace.

Compared to Huo Yuhao's difficult progress at the beginning, Dai Yueheng had no problems at all and came all the way to the meeting room. Since someone from his mother's family was coming, it was likely that they would communicate here.

But before he stepped in, he heard several voices from the conference room whose door was not closed. He stopped and Dai Yuheng stopped directly outside.

Just at this moment, a steady male voice was heard.

"Yu Han's bloodline has a fusion degree of nearly 80 with Hua Bin's, which is the highest among girls of the right age. If we let these two children cultivate their relationship, their fusion degree will definitely increase in the future. It will even be easy to break through to the 100% martial soul fusion like Dai Mubai's ancestor in the future."

"Third uncle?" Dai Yueheng raised his eyebrows, but after hearing the rest of the words, his eyes quickly turned colder.

Damn it, it’s another soul fusion.

Just when Dai Yaoheng looked unhappy, a solemn female voice came, "I no longer expect it to be 100%. It's good enough to barely fuse the Netherworld White Tiger. How Hua Bin will perform in the future depends on his own efforts. This child is a little better than his elder brother in terms of talent, but his personality is much worse than his elder brother. Now that his cultivation has increased, he has become impatient. Zhu Lu's matter has had a great impact on him."

"This matter is our fault. I didn't expect that the damn girl would dare to disobey the family and force herself to stay in Shrek Academy." The man said angrily.

"There's no point in saying more. Third brother, why don't you stay for lunch before going back?" The Duchess shook her head and looked at the middle-aged man opposite.

The middle-aged man was Zhu Changming, who had represented the Duke's Mansion of Lingmao to discuss matters with the Duke's Mansion of Baihu.

"I won't eat anymore. The word has been sent. I will send Yuhan this girl tomorrow." Zhu Changming shook his head, and then his voice became more serious, "I don't know if it's my imagination. I I always feel that there is a high possibility that there will be some action from the royal family, so please be careful and don’t contact that group of people for the time being.”

"Don't worry, third brother. Recently, the royal family's spies have been wandering around the mansion without even concealing it. I will understand even if you don't tell me." The duchess also had a serious expression.

"Well."

Zhu Changming stood up and immediately said goodbye to the Duchess. Outside the room, Dai Yuheng quietly retreated to the outside of the conference room and hid to the side.

Soon, Zhu Changming was seen walking quickly out of the conference room and heading towards the stables in the outer mansion.

"Don't contact that group of people? What does this mean?" Dai Yuheng looked at his back, very confused.

The reason why he didn't go out and say hello to his third uncle was mainly because the relationship between the two parties was actually quite ordinary, mainly because Dai Huabin was more valued by the Zhu family because of that damn martial soul fusion.

However, the conversation between his mother and his third uncle also made him realize one thing: his second brother seemed to have really been cheated on, otherwise why would he want to merge with someone else?

Ha... No wonder Zhu Lu looked at Huo Yuhao with something wrong.

Dai Yaoheng's return home naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the White Tiger Family, and a lively dinner party was successfully held.

By the way, thousands of servants also received rewards, which made everyone happy.

Knowing that he came back to participate in the Soul Fighting Competition, everyone in the Dai family was even more delighted. They knew that being able to represent Shrek Academy in the Soul Fighting Competition meant that Dai Yuheng was selected as the temporary Shrek Seven Devils. Even if it was a temporary title, it was a great honor and it would be recorded in the academy archives.

And once you win the championship in the competition, it will bring great blessing to the reputation of the entire White Tiger family. You can tell at a glance that the White Tiger Martial Soul is the inherited martial soul of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

Who doesn't know about the Xingluo Empire?

Even the royal family attaches great importance to the honor brought by the Fighting Spirit Competition, let alone them.

All the elders of the Dai family were drinking happily until Dai Yuheng asked a fatal question.

"Mom, I went to see my father before, and he said that he had someone prepare a soul bone for me as a reward for graduating from Shrek Academy. Can you show it to me now?" Without Dai Huabin present, Dai Yueheng could be said to be the C position, with a very happy face.

"Shh."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression at the banquet changed slightly, especially the brothers Dai Dianchen and Dai Dianguang, who were Dai Hao's second and third uncles.

The Duchess's expression also changed slightly, and there was a strange hint of panic in her eyes, but she quickly stabilized and said seriously:

"Your father said that he would give it to you after you graduate from Shrek Inner Court. Now that you have seen it, I am afraid that you will think about it every day, which will affect your cultivation. Soul Bone Lady will keep it for you until you graduate and take it away."

"Yeah, I'm the one who's excited." Dai Yuheng smiled awkwardly, then picked up the wine glass and toasted the elders one by one.

Seeing that the Duchess stabilized the situation with just one sentence, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then started talking to Dai Yuheng with a smile.

But...what no one noticed was that although Dai Yuheng had a smile on his face, his eyes were unusually cold. He had been on many surveillance missions outside, so his ability to observe things was no exaggeration.

Just now, the expressions of the elders and mothers were obviously confused.
