Chapter 79 The Pot of This World: Huo Yuhao
Alone, Dai Huabin walked through a deep alley and finally arrived at an ordinary house with its gate tightly closed.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door, but the rhythm of his knocking was somewhat unusual.
The door opened quickly from the inside, and Dai Huabin went in.
There were many people busy in the courtyard. When they saw Dai Huabin enter, they all stopped what they were doing and bowed to him respectfully.
With a gloomy expression, Dai Huabin ignored the people and walked towards the innermost room on his own.
Pushing open the door, a middle-aged man dressed in exquisite clothes, who appeared to be around forty years old, frowned slightly upon seeing Dai Huabin enter: "Second Young Master, what brings you here?"
This is a hidden outpost of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion in Shrek City, specifically responsible for handling matters that the Duke's Mansion cannot handle in person.
Therefore, on the surface, this place has no connection with the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Dai Huabin's sudden visit at this moment did indeed surprise the middle-aged man.
Dai Huabin's face was filled with undisguised resentment and venom as he cut to the chase:
"Uncle Li, I need your help to get rid of someone."
Upon hearing Dai Huabin's words, the middle-aged man frowned even more deeply. "Second Young Master, this is Shrek City territory. Making a move here rashly might cause unnecessary trouble..."
Dai Huabin interrupted him, his tone icy: "The person I want to kill is that maid's son. You should know very well what my mother's attitude is towards this matter."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression hardened.
There are many factions within the White Tiger Duke's mansion, and since he chose to stand on the Duchess's side, he naturally understood the meaning behind Dai Huabin's words.
However, he still asked with some unease, "Second Young Master, do you think we should report this matter to the Eldest Young Master first?"
When Dai Yueheng was mentioned, Dai Huabin's expression became even more somber.
If Dai Yueheng finds out about this, he might actually stop me.
After all, Dai Yueheng had no grudge against that bastard, and had never even met him.
He probably couldn't wait to sit back and watch the two tigers fight, to see himself and Huo Yuhao fight to the death.
Dai Huabin looked indifferently at the middle-aged man, his voice icy: "What, do my words have no effect here?"
The middle-aged man was startled and quickly lowered his head: "No, Second Young Master, that's not what I meant."
Seeing the middle-aged man back down, Dai Huabin's expression softened slightly. He said in a deep voice, "I am also aware of the risks of taking action within Shrek City. But that bastard will leave the academy and the city tonight."
That will be the perfect time for you to act. After eliminating the target, immediately evacuate Shrek City as quickly as possible, find a place to hide, and await further orders.
The middle-aged man's eyes flickered, but he finally bowed and replied, "Yes, I understand. I will make the arrangements properly."
……
The night was dark and gloomy, with thick, dark clouds obscuring the sky, preventing even a sliver of moonlight from penetrating.
Rain mixed with cold wind fell, pattering down and turning the world outside Shrek City into a blurry, indistinct black.
Huo Yuhao, holding a black umbrella, strolled alone on the road.
From the moment he left Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao noticed several malicious gazes following him. He could clearly feel the undisguised killing intent in those gazes.
The further he got from Shrek City, the more intense the murderous aura became.
It wasn't until Huo Yuhao arrived at a particularly quiet area surrounded by trees that he reached the area.
"sieve!"
A soft whooshing sound rang out.
In the next instant, several dark figures emerged from the shadows of the woods like ghosts, rushing straight towards Huo Yuhao with chilling killing intent.
There were six people in total, and their spirit rings lit up and pulsed instantly.
Five of them were five-ring Soul Kings, and the leader was even a six-ring Soul Emperor.
As soon as they appeared, three of the Soul Kings took off into the air and each unleashed a flight-type Soul Skill.
The six ambushers formed a pincer movement, combining air and ground forces, and swiftly attacked Huo Yuhao.
The light of various soul skills suddenly shone in the rainy night, and six sharp attacks landed almost simultaneously on the spot where Huo Yuhao had originally stood, bursting out with a violent roar and stirring up a cloud of dust mixed with water vapor.
A hint of triumph flashed in the eyes of all six ambushers, who felt that their mission had been successfully completed.
But the next moment, as the smoke and dust dissipated slightly, only a large, charred crater remained, and the target was nowhere to be seen.
The Soul Emperor's expression changed, and the large sword he was gripping suddenly burst into black flames.
The intelligence report stated that the target was only a high-level Soul Master, but his current behavior is too strange.
The Soul Emperor quickly scanned his surroundings and soon spotted the figure holding the umbrella again not far away.
He roared angrily, "Don't panic! He's just a Grand Soul Master. Everyone, attack together and kill him!"
However, just as he was about to launch another attack, he suddenly sensed something even stranger happening.
The rainwater that was originally falling downwards began to flow upwards against the natural order.
Huo Yuhao closed the umbrella in his hand, revealing his calm face beneath it.
His eyes were now gleaming with a dazzling golden light.
"When did you begin to have the illusion that this is the real world?"
The moment the words fell, extreme cold spread wildly outwards from Huo Yuhao.
In the perception of the six men in black, the surrounding rainy night vanished instantly, replaced by an endless snowfield.
The Soul Emperor's pupils shrank even further, and in his vision, there was only a figure that looked like a god.
Feeling the bone-chilling cold that seemed to freeze his very soul, an indescribable fear rose from the depths of his heart, and then his consciousness sank completely into darkness.
The real world.
Under the shade of a tree not far away, a group of women holding several umbrellas looked at the six men in black who had suddenly rushed out with some astonishment.
Before they could react, they saw a flash of golden light in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and the six menacing men in black collapsed to the ground as if they had lost all their strength.
A moment of doubt flashed through their minds, but they quickly realized what was going on.
Who else but Dai Huabin could have recently become enemies with Huo Yuhao and then had powerful connections to send assassins to kill him?
Zhu Lu, in particular, was shocked by the scene of the ambush before her.
Her pretty face instantly turned deathly pale, her voice trembling with guilt: "Yuhao, I'm sorry, if it weren't for me..."
"Zhu Lu, this is none of your business. You know my relationship with the White Tiger Duke's Mansion," Huo Yuhao interrupted her softly, calmly reassuring her.
Cui Yajie, who was sharing an umbrella with Zhu Lu, turned her eyes and quickly spoke up, "That's right, Zhu Lu. This is clearly Dai Huabin's fault, what does it have to do with you?"
"It's fortunate that Yuhao was there, otherwise you would have escaped this misery..."
As Cui Yajie spoke, her pink eyes, which were filled with tears, shone with undisguised admiration as she looked at Huo Yuhao.
Among the men in black who rushed out just now was a six-ring Soul Emperor.
How could Huo Yuhao have resolved the matter so easily with a single move?
Keep in mind, how old is Huo Yuhao now? Yet he already possesses such terrifying strength.
Wang Dong'er frowned, her pretty brows furrowed, and her pinkish-blue eyes flashed with anger. She said, "Yuhao, what are you planning to do? If you need, I can help you get revenge."
As the young sect leader of the Haotian Sect, she never expected that someone would dare to attack them near Shrek City.
"Yes, Yuhao. We absolutely cannot let that guy Dai Huabin get away with this so easily." Under Wang Dong'er's umbrella, the petite Xiao Xiao also waved her little fist fiercely, clearly furious as well.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao shook his head, his tone calm: "Alright, it's best to leave the rest to the academy."
As he spoke, a ball of red light suddenly shot out from his hand.
The signal flare shot into the sky, rising straight up to a height of several hundred meters before exploding with a bang, turning into countless tiny golden-red specks of light that spread across the dark night sky.
The latest novel is first published here!
This is a distress signal from the inner court disciples of Shrek Academy, especially since it was triggered outside Shrek City. For the academy, this is a top priority that requires an immediate response.
Before long, a dazzling golden light rushed from the direction of Shrek City. When the light faded, Yan Shaozhe's figure was revealed.
Yan Shaozhe landed from the air, his gaze sweeping across the scene, his brows furrowing slightly.
With a casual wave of his hand, several golden rays shot out and entered the bodies of the six men in black, sealing their martial spirits and soul power.
After doing all this, he looked at Huo Yuhao with concern and said, "Huo Yuhao, could you please explain in detail what happened?"
Huo Yuhao then briefly recounted the events of the ambush.
Yan Shaozhe's face also showed a hint of murderous intent. "How dare they! They actually dare to attack our academy's students on Shrek City's territory. They really don't take Shrek Academy seriously."
By this time, the Shrek City law enforcement team, which had received the signal, had also arrived.
Yan Shaozhe ordered the captain of the enforcement team in a deep voice: "Take these people away and interrogate them properly. I want to see which family has such audacity."
……
In Ning Tian's boudoir on the top floor of the Nine Treasures Pavilion.
Sitting on the sofa, Ning Tian looked at the group of women who had "arrived uninvited" in the room, and his eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly.
Her original plan was to take advantage of the visit tonight to further her relationship with Huo Yuhao.
As things stand now, I'm afraid I'll be playing with everyone all night long, and there won't be any chance to be alone with Huo Yuhao.
Wang Dong'er stood in front of the huge transparent crystal floor-to-ceiling window with a look of novelty, looking down at the brightly lit Shrek City night view outside the window, and let out a gasp.
Although she was the most noble among those present in terms of status, the Haotian Sect was a reclusive sect.
The sect didn't even have soul-guiding lamps; in fact, Wang Dong'er was the most unsophisticated.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and then the door was pushed open.
When Ning Tian saw the person who had arrived, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten to inform Wu Feng that the plan had changed.
A barely perceptible hint of embarrassment flashed across her face.
When everyone in the room saw Wu Feng push open the door and enter, they were all stunned when their eyes fell on her new look.
At this moment, Wu Feng was dressed in a well-tailored black and white maid outfit.
The black short skirt clung to her body, outlining her beautiful curves and slender waist.
Black stockings encased her long, straight legs, which gleamed strangely under the warm yellow light in the room.
Even more eye-catching was the pair of fluffy black cat ear hair clips on her head, with a long, thin black cat tail sticking out from under her skirt.
A small golden bell was tied to the tip of its tail, which jingled crisply as Wu Feng moved.
Wu Feng's originally somewhat aloof and disdainful face flushed red when she saw the astonished looks from everyone.
Especially when her gaze fell on Ning Tian, who was still dressed in a dignified formal suit, a certain string in Wu Feng's mind snapped completely.
She trusted the young master so much, and they had agreed to wear the clothes together.
As it turned out, the young master betrayed him.
The next moment, the door that had been opened was slammed shut again.
Wu Feng fled.
Huo Yuhao looked at Ning Tian beside him with slight confusion and asked in a low voice, "Ning Tian, what was with Wu Feng's outfit just now?"
Ning Tian, facing the curious gazes of the crowd, said awkwardly, "Well, actually, it's because Wu Feng wanted to thank Yu Hao that he specially prepared to dress like that, but he didn't expect everyone to come today."
Ning Tian decided to shift all the blame onto Wu Feng.
Given their deep sisterly bond, Wu Feng will surely understand her predicament afterward.
A cat-eared maid? As a token of gratitude?
Upon hearing Ning Tian's explanation, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and Cui Yajie couldn't help but glance at Zhu Lu beside them.
Zhu Lu's pretty face flushed red.
She naturally knew that after her martial soul was attached to her body, she would also have cat ears and a cat tail.
But Wu Feng's outfit just now had a skirt that was too short; if she made even the slightest movement, she might accidentally expose herself.
That's so inappropriate.
Zhu Lu's heterochromatic eyes quietly shifted to Huo Yuhao, noticing that he seemed to care a little.
A thought flickered in her mind: Should she buy a similar outfit and wear it for Huo Yuhao to see? As a way of thanking him for his help?
Not long after, Wu Feng, who had changed back into his usual clothes, pushed open the door and came in again.
However, her cheeks still had a lingering blush, and her gait was somewhat stiff, clearly indicating that she had not yet recovered from the blow she had just suffered.
When Wu Feng passed by Huo Yuhao, who was sitting in front of the sofa, she looked at him with a disgusted expression.
Wu Feng stomped hard on Huo Yuhao's outstretched foot a few times with her bare feet before walking over to the other sofa and sitting down, as if she had finally gotten her revenge.
While changing his clothes, Wu Feng had already figured things out.
If it weren't for Huo Yuhao, I wouldn't have become like this, and the young master wouldn't have become like this either.
So, in the end, it really was Huo Yuhao's fault.
