Douluo: Peerless Sky Eye Yuhao

Chapter 153 He really made me cry to death.

Inside the Civet Duke's Mansion.

"What did you say?"

The old man, who was about seventy years old, suddenly stood up from his chair and looked nervously at the family members who came back wearing official uniforms.

Several senior family officials in the surrounding area looked at each other with panic in their eyes.

"Master, it's absolutely true. The southwest nobles were directly uprooted. When the Soul Fighting Competition is over, all the Meridian Gates will be beheaded. The reason His Majesty gave is that they are treasonous."

Several officials who rushed back were slightly hunched over, their faces covered with sweat. They were afraid.

When His Majesty said these words, his eyes looked at them several times, filled with murderous intent without concealment.

It was obvious that His Majesty also knew about the connection between their Civet Duke's Palace and the southwest nobles.

But that's not the key. If the southwest nobles are treasonous, doesn't that mean that their Civet Duke's Palace is also treasonous?

This is the crime of genocide.

"Father, the situation is urgent. I suggest that we go to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion immediately to discuss a solution."

Zhu Changming stood up and said in a deep voice.

He is the oldest of his generation. As for the first two brothers, they are both dead.

"Chang Ming is right, this matter really should be discussed with the people from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion."

The rest of the family's top brass spoke in agreement.

"Changming, take a few people to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and negotiate to resolve this matter without any sloppiness." Duke Cingma pondered for a moment and then ordered.

"As ordered."

Zhu Changming's face was solemn, and then he selected a few senior family members and rushed towards the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. The two mansions were only dozens of kilometers apart. For soul masters like them, it wouldn't take long to catch up.

And in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

The atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Dai Hao sat in the position of the head of the family without saying a word, while below, Zhu Ruiying and the second generation of the White Tiger family looked heavy and didn't know what they were thinking.

"Do you know that the southwest nobles have an affair with the Sun and Moon Empire?" Dai Hao finally spoke. He glanced at everyone present, especially Zhu Ruiying, who stayed for several seconds.

Zhu Ruiying lowered her eyes and said with a bit of urgency, "We really don't know about this."

Dai Hao shook his head and said in a solemn voice: "I don't mean to blame you. Who knew that the southwest nobles would dare to rebel against the country? If this was placed during the war, it would be a fatal threat. Now His Majesty has made it clear that the only choice for us is Two, give up part of the military power of the Western Army Group, or maybe they will charge us with treason at some point."

"After all, who allowed us to have a lot of contact with the southwest nobles."

With that said, Dai Hao sighed again. When his grandfather was still a duke, he had contact with the southwest nobles. It was originally just a financial transaction, and he would speak for them in court. After all, the resources needed for the huge duke's mansion were all money. In exchange, it is not enough to rely on your own property alone.

But who knew that the contact back then would turn into a bomb today, ready to explode.

"Is the situation irreversible?" Dai Dianchen asked.

"No." Dai Hao shook his head and said, "If His Majesty hadn't found out that we only had financial transactions with the southwest nobles and were not involved in treason, otherwise you uncle, you wouldn't have seen me come back."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh. The Western Army Group is the lifeblood of the White Tiger Duke's Palace. Six of the eight legions are in their hands. Now that they have to let go, for them, it is almost impossible. It cost them half their lives.

But it's impossible not to let them do it. Who let those idiots from the southwest nobles be caught for treason?

"Report."

Suddenly, a White Tiger guard ran in, knelt down on one knee and said, "Master, someone from the Civet Duke's Mansion is here."

Hearing this, Dai Hao and Dai Dianchen looked at each other and said, "Let them come in."

"Yes." The guard took the order and quickly retreated.

"Third brother came here this time, probably because of this incident." Zhu Ruiying frowned.

Dai Hao rubbed his brows and said, "It's okay if you come, then let's discuss how to solve it together."

Not long after, Zhu Changming led a group of people into the White Tiger Hall.

This time, both parties were not too polite. They just said a few words and went straight to their seats.

As for the conversation between the two families, it was not difficult. On the contrary, the communication was extremely smooth. To put it bluntly, it was mainly reflected in the word "interest".

The White Tiger family gave up part of their military power, and the Civet family gave up part of their business power, in order to reduce their guilt.

In fact, the strength of the two major families is not among the top in the mainland. The White Tiger family only has one titled Douluo. Even with the strength of the Xingluo royal family, they can be wiped out by sending a few titled Douluo to worship them. But the only problem is Yes, they are both families that have been passed down for thousands of years and have great influence in the Star Luo Empire.

There are still statues of Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing in Xingluo City. As the ancestors of these two families, if you really want to destroy them, who knows if something terrible will happen to them.

Therefore, Xu Jiawei never thought about wiping out the two major families from the beginning, just to reduce their influence.

If the plan for the Far North had not failed, their royal family would not have overdrawn their power and re-activated the power of prayer. In the end, they went to the southwest coast to capture the 10-year-old soul beast. If the plan for the Far North had succeeded, Everything that happened now would not have happened, but for Xu Jiawei, it seems that the failure of the Far North Plan actually helped him.

The flapping of butterfly wings always catches people off guard.

……

Next to Xingluo Palace, deep inside the Enshrinement Hall.

The iron-gray floor was glowing with metallic luster, and in the middle area of ​​the space was the restored Conferred God Platform. The soft light illuminated the surroundings of the Conferred God Platform very clearly.

Inside the Conferred God Platform, there is a sea-blue bead the size of a human head suspended. The surface of the bead is glowing with a light blue halo. Occasionally, the color becomes darker. If you look closely, you can still see some strange lines. These lines are very complicated. It's like an irregular existence.

But under the occasional flash of light, these lines seem to be combined, and the combined lines look very much like a whale.

There seemed to be some kind of creature inside the bead. She was moving in panic, as if she had noticed that the soul power in her body was sealed. Wisps of invisible waves were transmitted out, but they were still blocked by the Conferred God Platform, unable to do anything. Penetrate out.

"Mother……"

Suddenly, a panicked but clear and sweet female voice sounded, but there were no human beings around the space.

"How's the situation with this sea soul beast?"

Just when the female voice sounded, the heavy door was opened, the light from outside came in, and several figures walked into the room.The beads in the Conferred God Platform suddenly became quiet, as if nothing that had just happened had ever happened.

"To tell you princess, everything is stable at the moment. However, according to our estimation, the aura of this sea soul beast is not as powerful as the one we encountered in the far north."

Several people quickly approached the location of the God Conferring Platform, and the lights fell on them. The leader, with long golden hair and stunning appearance, was none other than Xu Jiujiu.

Beside her, Hu Yaozong, whose hair was neatly combed, said, "Your Highness, is it really okay to exchange this sea soul beast for the soul guidance technology of the Sun and Moon Empire? From what I see, even if they give up some technology, There is a high probability that it is outdated."

He, Hu Yaozong, came from the Sun and Moon Empire, and he knew very well what level of technology the other party would provide.

Oh, by the way, he stole the Conferred God Platform from the Sun Moon Palace during the original riot.

The other people may also have the same doubts in their hearts. They looked at each other for a long time. The latter smiled slightly and said: "Maybe it is outdated for the Sun and Moon Empire, but for our Star Luo Empire, it is an extremely advanced existence. , exchanging a 10-year-old soul beast for decades or even centuries of technological progress is incomparable to the value of a 10-year-old soul beast."

"The most they get is a 10-year-old soul ring and a 10-year-old soul bone."

After hearing this, several people had their own thoughts, but in the end they all seemed to agree with this statement.

"It's just..." the beautiful Ice Deer Douluo asked doubtfully, "Just these two things, I'm afraid it's impossible to attract people from the Sun and Moon Empire to exchange them at a very high price, right?" Xu Jiujiu chuckled: " It's simple. Once this soul beast is absorbed by someone, it is very likely that the absorber will have an extra martial spirit. This is not enough. It is a gimmick anyway. The more exaggerated the better, maybe the people of the Sun and Moon Empire will be fooled. ”

After saying this, many people around Jiujiu couldn't help but laugh.

While they were talking and laughing, no one noticed that there was a gaze looking at this scene through the beads in the Conferred God Platform.

……

The first round of knockout rounds lasted for three full days. When the last knockout round ended, a total of 67 teams entered the second round of round robin.

They were eliminated in just one game, which really excited the audience. This also made Xingluo City lively every day, and the vendors were happy.

But what no one noticed was that while everyone's eyes and minds were attracted to the Soul Fighting Competition, the atmosphere in the Star Luo Empire's court had quietly changed.

The imperial power has been further strengthened, and the once top aristocrats, the White Tiger Family and the Civet Cat Family, have become much dim. However, all officials have uniformly shut their mouths and will never speak of these things outside.

Inside the Star King Hotel.

The night before the round robin was about to start, everyone from Shrek, who had rested for a few days, once again gathered in the conference room.

Most of the people chose to spend these two days watching the game, but did not go anywhere else.

In the spacious conference room, there was constant communication, girls and girls, boys and boys, mainly talking about some fun things during the competition.

"Okay, everyone be quiet."

Zhang Lexuan spoke.

Soon, everyone quickly sat down.

Zhang Lexuan nodded to Wang Yan, who nodded and said: "This afternoon, the first round officially ended. Starting tomorrow morning, there will be a round-robin competition. Currently, the 67 colleges are divided into eight groups, of which five from the eight colleges There are three groups from the nine colleges.”

"The top two teams in each group advance to the top sixteen. Our Shrek Academy is divided into the group of eight colleges. In other words, we will have to go through seven games. During the game, victory will be worth two points, and failure will be zero. , each tie will be worth one point. It is expected that the round robin will last for half a month."

"Compared to the brutality of the first round of knockout rounds, the round robin is mainly about stability, and the battle situation is usually milder. After discussion, Le Xuan and I decided to send the following seven people in the first round robin: Xixi, Yao Haoxuan, Gong Yang Mo, Huo Yuhao, Beibei, Wang Dong, and Caitou."

"Am I going to play?" Wang Dong jumped up and down excitedly when his name was read out.

Zhang Lexuan couldn't help laughing, "Teacher Wang hasn't finished speaking yet, so don't get excited yet."

Wang Dong scratched his head and quickly sat down.

Everyone else was smiling.

Wang Yan said with a smile: "The method of the competition will be determined by drawing lots tomorrow, but you already know the three fighting methods, so I won't elaborate further. Of course, the team list this time is not static, and we will adjust it at any time."

"clear."

Everyone spoke in unison.

Huo Yuhao smiled. At this time in the original book, because the team was short of players, Wang Yan even let the students cheat to win. In this life, the home team's reserve team is intact, which no longer exists.

Zhang Lexuan said in a soft tone: "That's all I want to say today. Let's have dinner early and go to rest. The meeting is dismissed."

"Shh."

As soon as the meeting ended, everyone quickly dispersed. Through the soul guide elevator, Shrek and his group quickly arrived on the first floor chatting and laughing.

The dining room on the first floor mainly provides buffet dinners. Of course, even if it is a buffet, the taste is absolutely outstanding. The Star Luo Empire will not ruin its reputation with food.

Seeing the bustling scene of at least 300 people eating together, Huo Yuhao inexplicably felt like he had returned to the high school cafeteria in his previous life.

The only difference is that at that time, everyone was wearing white and blue school uniforms, and they were complaining about today's class and analyzing which class had the most beautiful girls.

However, when Huo Yuhao and the others arrived at the dining room, the entire dining room was inexplicably quiet, and many people were looking at them.

"Let's find a quiet place."

Zhang Lexuan was used to these looks.

No one refused. After finding a quiet and quiet location, they chose the food they wanted to eat.

But Huo Yuhao did not go directly to pick out food. Instead, he went to the toilet first. However, as soon as he took a few steps, he noticed a look towards him. He paused slightly, and this look was very familiar.

He walked into the bathroom, found a spot to relieve himself, came out of the separate compartment, and washed his hands casually, but when he was about to leave the next second, another figure stood beside him, washing his hands as well.

Huo Yuhao looked up at the mirror and said with a smile, "Is something wrong?"

"I heard your name is Huo Yuhao?" Xiao Hongchen, who had a delicate face, stretched out his white hands and took the water flowing from the faucet, "My name is..."

"Xiao Hongchen?" Huo Yuhao said his name in advance without waiting for Xiao Hongchen to speak first.

Xiao Hongchen was stunned for a moment, and then he gave a very polite thumbs up, of course, pointing downwards, "Yes, remember my name, I will defeat you..."

"Your grandfather is the master of the Mingde Hall of the Sun and Moon Empire, right?" Huo Yuhao turned off the faucet and interrupted Xiao Hongchen again.

Xiao Hongchen was stunned again, "You can't wait for me to say something... No, what do you want to say?"

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Your grandfather is a famous figure. If I have the chance, I will definitely visit him."

Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Xiao Hongchen's eyes moved and he thought to himself, is this Huo Yuhao still a fan of our grandpa?

A student from Shrek Academy is actually a fan of my grandfather?
This Nima is too dramatic, right?

Speaking of which, isn't my provocation wrong?

Thinking about it, Xiao Hongchen glanced at his thumb and took it back calmly, as if nothing had ever happened.

"I'm leaving now. Let's talk later when we have time."

Huo Yuhao shook the water and left.

Xiao Hongchen was left standing there alone, staring at his back.

Of course Huo Yuhao is not a fan of Jing Hongchen.

It’s just that Jing Hongchen is a very special character.

If Xuanzi is the hidden "Supreme Elder" of the Holy Spirit Religion, then Jing Hongchen is the hidden "Poseidon Pavilion Elder".

Why are you asking?
Very simple.

Jing Hongchen made his first appearance and went to the Poseidon Pavilion to get back the Sword of Judgment. As a result, not only did the sword not come back, but Mr. Mu also asked for the ticket fee, leaving behind a ninth-level Hongchen Blessing Soul Guidance Device.

Moreover, the four ninth-level fixed-installation soul guides and the four eighth-level fixed-installation soul guides arranged by Jing Hongchen outside were all dismantled by Qian Duoduo and belonged to Shrek.

This wave of benefits is comparable to the record of Xuanzi leading Zhang Lexuan and the others to hunt soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest, which resulted in the team being almost wiped out.

These custom-installed soul guidance devices, if they are firing cannonballs, will have at least eight level eight or four eight-level and four nine-level custom-installed soul guidance shells. Even if they are eaten later, apart from the protection of the mortal world and the Neither the Sword of Judgment appears, but he does write about it.

In addition, there are some other points, such as allowing Huo Yuhao to copy the Mingdetang soul guide blueprint, and letting Xuan Ziwen go to Tangmen at will.

Compared to Xuanzi who harmed others, he, Jing Hongchen, was a person who had made great contributions to Shrek Academy and the male protagonist without even asking for anything in return. He really deserved the honorary title of Su Lao.

He really, I cried to death.
