Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 347: Post-War Purge

She had once wept silently; beneath her glamorous exterior lay a dirty body, a ruined flower.

But now, all of that had changed. In the battle at the Heavenly Court, her body had been completely incinerated by Ma Xiaotao, and Huo Yuhao had created a brand new body for her.

In other words, her current body was clean. She could finally put down the burden in her heart and openly face the pursuit of the opposite sex.

In addition to that, her new body had caused her aptitude to soar.

Huo Yuhao was not surprised. With his cultivation, he had long since sensed the existence of Bingdi.

Meeting again, Bingdi was still as beautiful and moving as before, but Huo Yuhao saw a look of exhaustion on Bingdi's face.

He walked over and sat down by the bed. Huo Yuhao embraced Bingdi, smelling the fragrance in her hair, and felt a sense of security that came from family.

As the saying goes, a short separation is better than a new marriage, let alone that the two were not separated for a short time, but almost forever.

Accurately speaking, Bingdi was currently the only woman who had had intimate contact with Huo Yuhao. After the passion between the man and woman, it was replaced by an inseparable bond.

She was Huo Yuhao's wife, even if there was no formal marriage, no eight-carried sedan, it was still the same.

The two embraced each other in silence. Bingdi's slender arms tightly hugged Huo Yuhao, as if she had infinite strength, wanting to melt the man into her body.

That night, Huo Yuhao did not engage in lingering intimacy. Even when closing their eyes to sleep, the two were in an embracing posture. Having regained what was lost made them cherish each other even more.

The next day, the seven Hall Masters received an imperial decree to gather at the Holy Hall. Le Qingtian, Qiangu Liming, and Jing Hongchen were also allowed to observe.

The Heavenly Court soul masters stood upright in the hall, waiting for Huo Yuhao to arrive.

Zhou Qi stood in the front row, in a particularly good mood. Not only was there no loss this time, but he had actually gained.

His body was still his original body. He didn't have the opportunity that Jiang Nannan had, but his reorganized body was also different from the past. The most direct thing was that the meridians in his body, the Ren and Du meridians, were all opened up, and future cultivation would be smooth and unimpeded.

Originally, he already had the confidence to break through to the Soul Douluo realm with the help of the Heavenly Court's resources, but now he dared to assert that the Title Douluo realm was only a matter of time for him.

Secondly, he had made a wise choice at the beginning, whether it was his initial allegiance or his attitude in yesterday's battle, he had shown enough loyalty, and he believed that His Excellency would not treat him badly.

While thinking, Zhou Qi inadvertently glanced at the hundred or so people kneeling in the center of the hall, secretly rejoicing that he had made the right choice.

These kneeling people were divided into two groups. The first hundred or so were deserters, and the latter were the group that responded to Ning Zhiyuan and raised the flag of rebellion. However, there were fewer rebels, only twenty or so.

In fact, these people were mostly resurrected.

Huo Yuhao had been away for nearly a year, and did not know much about some of the newly joined soul masters of the Heavenly Court.

Under such circumstances, a dramatic thing happened. Yesterday, when Huo Yuhao was resurrecting the Heavenly Court soul masters, he accidentally resurrected a small number of Alliance soul masters along with them.

Resurrected? It didn't matter, they could just be killed again.

The Heavenly Court soul masters directly rushed up and captured them alive, and Huo Yuhao ordered them to be hanged.

Suddenly, the hall became quiet, but it was Huo Yuhao who had arrived in the hall at some unknown time.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

Everyone shouted and saluted, even the three outsiders, Le Qingtian, were no exception.

Huo Yuhao sat down on the glazed throne above, overlooking the hundreds of people who were respectfully saluting. It felt a bit like a court assembly.

"Rise!"

After the ceremony, someone immediately stepped forward. That person pointed to the hundred or so people kneeling in the hall and reported: "Your Excellency, these rebels disregarded the overall situation when my Heavenly Court was in danger, were cowardly and avoided the enemy, and some even rebelled on the spot, like that Ning Zhiyuan, and confronted my Heavenly Court with swords and soldiers. Please punish these rebels severely to rectify the people's hearts."

As soon as these words came out, the bodies of the hundred or so people kneeling in the hall trembled like chaff, constantly shaking. Whether they were traitors or deserters, they were all afraid of death.

Therefore, at this moment, facing the risk of their heads being forcibly demolished, these people were terrified, constantly admitting their mistakes and begging for mercy.

"Your Excellency, spare my life, Your Excellency, spare my life!"

"This subordinate was forced to do so, Your Excellency!"

...

These people behaved so miserably, as if they had suffered a great grievance. Facing Huo Yuhao, who was rumored to be ruthless, they knew that it was useless to say more, and only begging for mercy and selling misery could give them a chance to survive and save their lives.

Huo Yuhao's eyes stopped on the crowd kneeling below, and he said indifferently: "All deserters are to be expelled. Once disloyal, always disloyal. Their families will be prohibited from joining the Heavenly Court and entering the Ming Realm for three generations."

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your kindness, thank you, Your Excellency, for your kindness!"

Everyone kowtowed repeatedly, rejoicing that they had saved their lives.

People were stunned, raising high and putting down gently, this didn't seem like Huo Yuhao's style.

Huo Yuhao had considered this. First of all, putting himself in their shoes, fear of death was human nature, there was nothing shameful about it, and at that time, the situation in the Heavenly Court was critical, and it was reasonable for these people to want to escape if they were not optimistic.

Huo Yuhao couldn't chop them off for this reason, but he couldn't have no expression at all. They took the benefits of the Heavenly Court, but when people were needed, they slipped away. There was no such good thing.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao expelled them all, giving a small punishment as a warning to others, don't learn from the deserter team.

Perhaps the punishment seemed a little light, but Huo Yuhao was confident that under his leadership, the Heavenly Court would surely rule the world, and the Ming Realm would be the general trend.

These people's descendants were put on the blacklist for three generations, waiting to fall behind.

After the war, the Heavenly Court's manpower was reduced, and Huo Yuhao was going to expand on a large scale. It was the time to employ people, so it made sense to keep these people.

But Huo Yuhao didn't do this. This precedent couldn't be set, otherwise, if his subordinates thought it was okay to run away every time there was a war, it would be a mess. Without rules, there could be no order, that was the reason.

Nan Shuishui bit her lip, braced herself and took a step forward, wanting to plead for them, but she saw Huo Yuhao's eyes sweep over, with a warning.
