Chapter 650: Sending Charcoal in the Snow (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

Yan Shaozhe said with a stunned expression, "It can't be Yuhao, can it?"

Xian Lin'er also said with a grave face, "I'm afraid it's very likely, the only one who might be able to summon otherworldly creatures is probably Yuhao!"

Xuan Ziwen spoke coldly, "But why would he choose to go to war? Could it be just because he was once a citizen of the Xingluo Empire..."

Upon hearing this, Dai Hao's eyes suddenly lit up...

He asked with a face full of confusion, "That, Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, do you know this Soul Master who used the gate to summon otherworldly creatures?"

Yan Shaozhe nodded slightly and said, "Yes! If I'm not mistaken, it should be our Shrek Academy's inner court student, Huo Yuhao!"

Xian Lin'er added, "He has also demonstrated the same soul skill in front of us before."

Xuan Ziwen pushed up his glasses and pondered, "There must be some reason for him to go to the Xingluo Empire's border to fight this time..."

Dai Hao's pupils shrank sharply upon hearing Yan Shaozhe's words, and he couldn't calm himself down, "Huo... Huo Yuhao??"

Since that attack, the name Huo Yuhao had been deeply etched in his mind...

Because he was indeed the son of himself and Huo Yun'er!

Feeling that Dai Hao was somewhat off, Xian Lin'er asked with suspicion, "Duke of White Tiger, why are you so agitated?"

Yan Shaozhe looked at Dai Hao intently, "Could it be that Huo Yuhao is related to you in some way?"

He always felt that the relationship between this Duke of White Tiger and Huo Yuhao was out of the ordinary, otherwise, how could he have such an abnormal reaction...

Dai Hao was momentarily stunned, then a bitter smile gradually spread across his face...

Then he began to speak with a complex tone, "Huo Yuhao, not only do I know him, he... he's my son, but because of the past..."

...

The ministers below all inhaled sharply, "Hiss..."

They had not expected the Duke of White Tiger to have such a story...

The faces of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion varied after listening...

Even though it seemed that the wrong was not on the part of the Duke of White Tiger, to say he was without fault would be too far-fetched...

Yan Shaozhe said reflectively, "I see, so it's because you were often absent from the Duke of White Tiger's Mansion, going to the battlefield, leading to the death of Huo Yuhao's mother, and you were kept in the dark..."

Xuan Ziwen also sighed, "I never imagined Huo Yuhao's experiences to be so tragic, it's quite remarkable that the child didn't turn out twisted!"

When he taught Huo Yuhao at the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy, he only noticed his great talent in soul guidance devices and his cheerful disposition...

Now it seems, if he had taken the path of an evil Soul Master with his talents, the disaster he could bring might be even more terrifying than the Holy Spirit Cult!

Xian Lin'er merely shook her head, "In this matter, there's nothing we can do, murder demands life in retribution... it's only right and proper!"

Although murder was indeed wrong, she believed that what Huo Yuhao did was not incorrect, had it been someone else, they would certainly have done the same!

Dai Hao moistened his dry lips, "Indeed! I know I owe him and Yun'er too much, but as the Duke of White Tiger, I cannot simply watch him lay a hand on my wife!"

"But if he wishes to take my life, Dai Hao's life, I will not resist!"

From their last confrontation, it was clear that Huo Yuhao had developed an obsession with avenging himself on Dai Hao, and it was highly unlikely that such a resolution could be dissolved...

Upon hearing this, the ministers around him all started to look panicked...

"Duke White Tiger, Your Majesty, please don't have such dark thoughts!"

"Absolutely, as the next emperor of the Xingluo Empire, how can you say such things!"

"Although there is a certain responsibility on you for this matter, the real fault isn't with you!"

Dai Hao spoke unperturbedly, "Gentlemen, there's no need to be anxious. Even if we have to do this, we must first escape this disaster that has befallen the Xingluo Empire!"

...

Meanwhile, the Soul Master Troop of the Sun-Moon Empire, led by Wind Douluo, was resting and recuperating in the city they had captured!

A Soul Sage approached Wind Douluo and excitedly reported, "Wind Douluo, all Soul Masters have basically recovered their Soul Power! We're ready to attack the Sky Soul Empire at any time! Without sufficient soul tool support, they are definitely no match for us!!"

Wind Douluo nodded slightly and replied, "Hmm! Let all Soul Masters continue to rest."

The Soul Sage was stunned and asked in puzzlement, "Eh? Um... Wind Douluo, sir? Did you misspeak??"

Wind Douluo's icy gaze rested on him, "I said let all Soul Masters rest in place. Do you have an opinion on that?"

Most Soul Masters in this captured city had fled to other cities further back, so the difficulty of subsequent captures was certainly going to be much greater!

Besides, the Soul Masters of the Sky Soul Empire must be on edge, ready to battle them at any moment...

Then, just contrary to their expectations, when night falls and their vigilance relaxes, that's when we'll strike them with a surprise attack they wouldn't see coming!

The Soul Sage swallowed hard and respectfully said, "Yes... Wind Douluo, sir!"

...

As for the situation within the cities of the Sky Soul Empire, just as Wind Douluo had said, every Soul Master was on high alert, fearing that the next moment might bring an attack by the Sun-Moon Empire's Soul Master Troop...

But in addition to that, one event had all the Soul Masters of the Sky Soul Empire showing faces bright with joy...

A Soul Master was seen holding a storage soul tool respectfully before two Title Douluo, explaining, "Reporting to both Title Douluo, someone from the imperial palace has sent over this storage soul tool."

The Green Rhino Douluo took the soul tool and asked puzzledly, "What's this?"

The Soul Master spoke again, "According to the message, this storage soul tool belongs to the Elders of the Shrek Academy Sea God's Pavilion! Inside it, there's a large number of high-grade soul tools! There are even some special ninth-grade soul guidance devices!"

Upon hearing this, both the Green Rhino Douluo and the Title Douluo beside him became excited, "What?? Ninth-grade Soul Guidance Devices?"

And all the surrounding Soul Masters of the Sky Soul Empire also began excitedly saying, "As expected of Shrek Academy, willing to aid us with ninth-grade soul tools!!"

"With these, even if the Sun-Moon Empire's Soul Master Troops come attacking, we have nothing to fear!!"

"Fantastic! Seeking aid from Shrek Academy was indeed the right decision!! Long live Shrek Academy!!"

Upon infusing Soul Power to inspect the contents of this storage soul tool, Green Rhino Douluo couldn't help but gasp in astonishment...

True to form as a ninth-grade soul tool, it had such a unique appearance, and it actually covered an area of a full hundred meters!!

One could imagine how terrifyingly powerful the soul tools that would be released from within!

Immediately, he said with a cold smile on his face, "Everyone!! Set up these high-grade soul tools immediately! Afterwards, let's give those Soul Masters from the Sun-Moon Empire a heart-stopping surprise!!"

This time, he wasn't just going to defend the city!!

He was also going to annihilate every single one of the Sun-Moon Empire's Soul Master Troops!!!
