Douluo's ice devil Yuhao

Chapter 474 Heading to the Heavenly Soul Empire
Late at night, Xingluo Palace.

In the palace for a long time.

Princess Xingluo had just finished an important meeting with the Emperor's Brother Enshrinement Hall and others, and was taking a nap in her bedroom.There wasn't much time left for her to rest. When it got light soon, the Star Luo royal family would have further discussions with the Sun and Moon Mission.

The visit of the Sun and Moon Mission was a top priority for Xing Luo, and even members of the royal family had no extra time to rest at night.

She sat on the couch with her back against the head of the bed, lowered her head and closed her eyes. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her relaxed posture seemed to have dreamed of something joyful.

Suddenly, a figure with an afterimage flashed into the palace. It was Yun Douluo, the personal bodyguard of a long time ago.

At this time, the titled Douluo's tone was very unexpected and panicked: "Your Highness, something serious has happened."

"Grandma Manyi, what happened?" Hearing Xingyun Douluo's unusual tone, he immediately ended his nap and opened his eyes and asked warily.

Nebula Douluo looked solemn, walked to the bed, and lowered his voice: "The Duchess is dead."

This news made Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked in disbelief: "How could it be possible? Could it be...Yu Hao did it?"

The royal family would not deal with its members lightly. Since the head of the enshrinement hall meant to put the duchess under house arrest, he would not kill her.

For a long time, the only possible candidate that I could think of was Huo Yuhao. He was the only one who had both motivation and ability.

Xingyun Douluo shook his head: "No, she committed suicide."

"Suicide?" She was stunned for a long time. After hearing these two words, her first reaction was relief.

Nebula Douluo continued: "The shield of Qinghe Palace was not affected by any reaction, and there were no signs of damage around it. Even the maid saw with her own eyes that the Duchess herself pierced her heart with a dagger."

After pondering for a long time, he said: "It can be considered as a way to preserve your reputation. What does the emperor brother mean?"

Xingyun Douluo said: "Keep it secret. His Majesty has already warned all those who know about it. He has not informed Duke White Tiger yet. He will find a date later to say that she died of a serious illness. Not even Medical Immortal Douluo can do anything to bury her as soon as possible. "

"Then it's up to the emperor's wishes."

After a long time, he had lost all his tiredness, and looked absently in the direction outside the palace.

Since the duchess committed suicide, all previous grievances have been wiped out. The Xingluo royal family can not only give Huo Yuhao an explanation, but also declare that she died of illness. The brothers Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin will not seek revenge for their mother.

But I have long suspected that the death of the Duchess was not that simple, but I guess no one will delve into it.

The negotiation time passed quickly, and the Sun and Moon Mission temporarily signed a series of cooperation treaties with Xingluo.We need to eat one bite at a time. The current cooperation is mainly focused on opening up border trade and jointly building border cities.

Although there was a lot of fun at the banquet, at the negotiation table, officials from the two countries still started to engage in quarrels for the benefit of their respective countries.

It was impossible for Xingluo to agree to all the requests of the Sun and Moon Mission. After constant testing and concessions, treaties were finally concluded.

The Sun and Moon Mission stayed in Xingluo City for a full week, and soon arrived at the farewell dinner.

"So, Your Royal Highness, do you have any thoughts on the three-nation joint school plan I proposed?"

At the dinner, Huo Yuhao found a seat at the edge of the banquet hall and clinked glasses with Xu Jiujiu.

He didn't answer for a long time, but smiled slightly and asked: "Isn't it inappropriate to call me such a strange name?"

Huo Yuhao explained: "Because I am now talking to Princess Xingluo in the name of Ambassador of the Sun and Moon, I still have to be more formal."

Xu Jiujiu curled his lips and said slowly: "Dear Ambassador Sun and Moon, I'm sorry, the idea you proposed is too advanced. It is difficult for Xingluo to accept it at the moment, and we are not sure about Tianhun's ideas."

"However, we are willing to increase student exchange cooperation between the Sun and Moon and Star Luo. The Star Luo Royal Academy's training of soul masters is also a top institution second only to Shrek."

Huo Yuhao stretched out a finger and shook it: "The reply from Tianhun has arrived. They will also host a banquet in the palace to receive us. I will understand their meaning soon."

Xu Jiujiu chuckled softly and said: "I have also attended Tianhun's dinner, so I guess the scale of the dinner hosted by Sister Wei Na this time is definitely far inferior to that of our Xingluo."

The strange desire to compare suddenly pops up at random times.

After pondering for a long time, his face condensed and he said slowly: "Yu Hao, your idea is too simple."

"If, as you say, the three countries want to form a federation-like organization to jointly run schools, then who should decide on the leadership of this organization?"

"Just the cooperation between Xingluo and Sun Moon is already huge. Many Star Luo people are actually still hostile to the Sun and Moon people, but they temporarily accept peace because they are afraid of the Sun and Moon Empire's army. Coexist. The voices of the war faction you hear in the Sun and Moon Empire are equally noisy. The 4000-year feud cannot be easily resolved."

"There are already many interests involved between the two countries. When it comes to a third country, the relationship is even more complicated. I don't need to explain how difficult it is. You must know it in your heart."

Huo Yuhao didn't answer. In fact, he didn't need to be reminded for a long time. He also knew how difficult this matter was.If the three countries really unite, no one country will be willing to become a vassal of the other two countries and be slowly sucked by them.

After a long while, Huo Yuhao solemnly said: "Jiujiu, at least I will try my best to do it."

She no longer called Her Royal Highness the Princess, but instead called her by her long-lasting name.

Xu Jiujiu chuckled, raised his wine glass, and touched it lightly with him: "Then I wish you good luck, His Majesty the Emperor of the Sun and Moon."

"Cheers~"

Huo Yuhao smiled and raised his glass: "I wish you the same, Her Majesty the Queen of Xingluo." The casual joke raised the status of Xu Jiujiu to a higher level. He did not refute for a long time, and he and Huo Yuhao drank the wine in the glass. Drink it all in one gulp.

The Sun and Moon Mission finally concluded their mission under the warm hospitality of Xing Luo and successfully completed their mission.

However, their journey was not over. After leaving Xingluo City, the Sun and Moon Mission did not return to the west along the original route. Instead, they continued northward towards the Sky Soul Empire. They were also personally escorted by the White Tiger Guards led by the Duke of White Tiger. .

Huo Yuhao and Duke White Tiger rode at the front of the team.

For a long time, the two of them were silent. The father and son, who had a strange relationship, didn't have much to talk about when they were together.

Suddenly, Duke White Tiger spoke: "Yu Hao, do you think that if the Sun and Moon Empire really stops launching wars, the mainland will be at peace?"

This question was asked very delicately, as if the Sun and Moon Empire were not entirely responsible for all the wars in Douluo Continent.

"What do you mean?"

Duke White Tiger said solemnly: "Your Majesty means to mobilize part of the Western Army Group and move it to the north."

After Huo Yuhao heard the news, he couldn't help but frown.

The border between Xingluo and Tianhun has not always been peaceful. There have been constant minor frictions for thousands of years. However, in the past 4000 years, the Sun and Moon Empire has been eyeing them eagerly, forcing the two countries to unite to fight against the enemy.

Now that the Sun and Moon Empire has declared a truce, it is inevitable that Xingluo and Tianhun will shift some of their focus to each other.

"I will still sit in the Mingdou Mountains and will not participate in the conflict with Tianhun on the northern border. There should be minor frictions there and there will be no large-scale fighting."

"Yu Hao, you are on your mission to Tianhun this time. Can you please negotiate with Tianhun on behalf of Xingluo? After all, those soldiers were once led by me."

The powerful White Tiger Duke faced Huo Yuhao and begged sincerely.

Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, nodded slightly, and said calmly: "I understand, I will negotiate with the Tianhun royal family."

Duke White Tiger's eyebrows instantly widened. Although Huo Yuhao's performance seemed to be casual, he knew the weight of these words in his heart.

The current Huo Yuhao is also unprecedented. As the ambassador of the Sun and Moon Empire, he has to help the Star Luo Empire solve some problems when he is on a mission to Tianhun.

In the team, Huo Qiu'er pulled the reins in his hand impatiently, trying to keep the dragon-scaled horse below him from walking normally.

She had emphasized several times that changing horses was useless, but the Xingluo people still did not believe in evil and had to change horses for her several times before admitting this strange phenomenon.

Suddenly, Huo Qiu'er on horseback froze, subconsciously looking to the east, and felt a bad premonition in her heart.

……

Star Dou Great Forest, the core area.

This can be said to be the most dangerous place in the entire continent, a truly dangerous place.

A 10-year-old soul beast that a soul master may never see once in his life may suddenly appear here at any time. No one knows whether he will enter the territory of a certain 10-year-old soul beast after breaking into the core area.

This is a rocky area with sparse vegetation. There is almost no vegetation within a radius of 500 meters, only exposed white rocks and sand.

Looking around, no living beings could be seen, but the sand and stones on the ground were tumbling strangely, flopping back and forth like dry waves, and at the same time, dull roars continued to come from the ground.

Suddenly, several spider web-like cracks opened on the ground, and with a loud noise rising into the sky, a strange soul beast covered in white-brown rocks suddenly popped out of the ground with a huge force.

This soul beast is called Rock Crab. It likes to live in sand and gravel. It is extremely powerful in terms of strength and defense, and its movement speed under the ground is also unparalleled.

However, the rock crab in front of him had an entire hole pierced through its plastron, which was tightly covered by rocks. Dark green blood flowed across it, giving the white sand and gravel a sense of death.

The next second, a blood-red soul ring slowly appeared above the rock giant crab's body. This was a powerful 10-year-old soul beast.

The 10-year-old rock giant crab is not only excellent at offense and defense, but as long as it is underground at its home ground, even when faced with a ferocious beast like the Red King, it can sense a crisis and escape quickly.But now, it was as fragile as glass. It was pierced through the abdomen in one fell swoop and died instantly.

On the ground in front of the rock giant crab, a blood-red figure slowly emerged, followed by another man in black.

Ye Xishui twisted the knuckles of his right hand and wrote lightly: "It's a pity that our teaching doesn't have a suitable candidate to absorb this soul ring now. Xiao Wu, subdue its beast soul, and then get the soul bone to see who Good for absorption.”

"The soul power of this rock crab will be sent to replenish the energy of the Death Tower."

It was unimaginable that it was these sharp scarlet nails that penetrated the extremely hard rock armor.

Zhong Liwu said with some worry: "Mother, this place is a bit close to the center of the core area. If those ferocious beasts come out to chase them..."

Before he could finish his words, Ye Xishui interrupted him coldly: "Just kill them together."

Then she looked coldly in the direction of Shrek City: "As long as the Beast God Emperor Tian doesn't take action, I can handle it. I'll kill some more 10-year-old soul beasts to prepare for our holy ceremony."
