Ju Zi didn't even dare to swallow her saliva, fearing that the woman's inconspicuous Adam's apple would roll and the dagger would sink into her flesh. She was not afraid of death, but as Wang Dong said, she couldn't die here.

"It's not polite to ask the assassin's name."

Juzi didn't intend to sit and wait for death. She kept silent, hoping to buy some time, while trying to wake up her storage ring. She couldn't feel the soul power of the girl behind her, but she guessed that she couldn't be a Titled Douluo at most, so it wouldn't take such a big fight to catch her. If she was below Soul Saint, she would still be able to fight with the soul guide.

However, just as her soul guide ring was shining, she felt a furry wing sticking to her ring, extinguishing the faint light. Her arm was rubbed with large pieces of scale powder, from which Ju Zi could only guess that the other party was an insect or a bird with a lot of feather powder. In the dark night, she couldn't see the color of the scale powder. At this moment, she really wished that she had listened carefully in the soul master class instead of just listening to the soul instructor course.

“Don’t use those little tricks too much. Are you so arrogant that you think your failure to notice me approaching was due to your negligence rather than my ability?” Wang Dong smiled. “You don’t need to know who I am. It’s enough for you to know Huo Yuhao.”

"Huo Yuhao..." Orange read the name.

In her mind, Huo Yuhao was still the junior who had come to Xuan Ziwen's school. When she left, she heard that Huo Yuhao had finally become a disciple of Master Kong and had become a fellow apprentice with Xuan Ziwen. She found it a little funny at the time. This kid didn't leave a deep impression on her, because from the first day they met, he seemed to be deliberately avoiding her. Ju Zi didn't know how she had offended him.

While escaping and replanning, she also heard that Huo Yuhao was personally appointed as the Imperial Master by Xu Tianling. It seemed that for some reason, this identity was quickly recognized by all the major forces in the Imperial City. This high degree of recognition made her have many doubts when reading the news.

In her opinion, no matter how capable and accomplished a 17-year-old boy was, it was impossible for him to build such a huge network of power in Mingdu in just this short period of time - even just establishing widespread prestige was difficult. Therefore, she once judged that Huo Yuhao had become a victim of high-level politics after coming into contact with Kong Deming. Xu Tianling and Huo Yuhao were two puppets that held each other back, and the ones supporting them were the warlords represented by Liao Mengkai and the old forces of the Worship Hall represented by Kong Deming.

The shocking scene of the battle between the Holy Spirit Church and the Holy Spirit Church made her waver, but the waver was so great that she felt it was unacceptable: she had never heard that the Sun-Moon Empire could contact a strong person like the Snow Emperor, she didn't believe that the junior student could be possessed by Emperor Tian, ​​and she couldn't believe that the Evil Emperor who had troubled the Sun-Moon Empire for thousands of years was willing to help. Her worldview was even shaken. She couldn't imagine that these forces were connected by the same anchor point, and the name of this anchor point was Huo Yuhao.

"What does he need me to do?" Orange tried his best to control his trembling.

"Look, you're asking questions that an assassin can't possibly know." Wang Dong sneered, "I'm just a paid worker."

This was actually false. Wang Dong didn't receive a penny of salary, and of course he knew what Huo Yuhao was going to do. But if he were to tell Orange clearly that they couldn't start a fight at the moment and that she shouldn't cause any trouble, she might refuse to obey even at death.

Juzi quickly calmed down. She had been with Xu Tianran for a long time and had learned a lot. "From what you said before, I know my goal tonight." She said, "If Huo Yuhao can't promise me a future of revenge for Duke Baihu, I really can't work for him."

When she said this, she didn't believe it in her heart. She still didn't believe that Huo Yuhao could influence the direction of the country in this way.

However, Wang Dong acted as if he had heard good news. "It's great that you can let me go." The excited Ghost Butterfly Killer said, "As you wish, this is also Huo Yuhao's wish."

"What? ...What do you mean?"

This time, Orange was really confused. Wang Dong said:

“Huo Yuhao can promise you such a future. Not now, but one day in the future. The peace you think you have won’t last long, but there won’t be a bloody war that harms civilians.”

"..."

Orange closed her eyes and thought. Although she was not sure whether it was true or not, she was really touched by these words. Her hatred for the Duke of White Tiger came from the fact that his troops had razed her homeland in the war. To put it bluntly, if there really was a quick battle that would not affect people's lives, wouldn't that be her most secret wish? However, she had immersed herself in the bloody cage of revenge for a long time and had forgotten this little hope.

However, there was another demon in her heart, clamoring to let Dai Hao taste what she had tasted, such as a broken family and a hometown reduced to scorched earth. She didn't know that Huo Yuhao had already let Dai Hao taste some of it. At this moment, the angel and the demon in her heart were fighting endlessly, and Wang Dong looked at her silent profile and was ready to knock her out with brute force.

"How do you prove this promise?" Orange asked. The angel in her heart finally won. She didn't notice that Wang Dong was also relieved.

She felt Wang Dong grab one of her hands and put a cold, hard metal badge in her immediately tense palm. She lowered her head and saw in the moonlight that it was the badge of the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group.

"Everyone hopes you can come back," the ghost butterfly's tone suddenly softened, "There is more to your life than just revenge and Xu Tianran."

Ju Zi thought, damn this emotional card, but she was indeed moved. She found that she was still an emotional animal, and her actions would be influenced by the surging emotions. Wang Dong's words reminded her of the life she had occasionally imagined, not trapped in obsession.

"...Okay," she said, "I agree. Now can you let me know who you are?"

“No.” Wang Dong blinked. “We probably won’t work together in the future. Just blame it all on Huo Yuhao! In that case, let’s go back to Mingdu now. It happens to be His Highness’ birthday soon, and we are going to pardon and execute a group of criminals. Among them, Xu Tianran has several charges that need to be identified by witnesses. Don’t worry, since Yuhao plans to use you, you will definitely not be implicated by Xu Tianran. Identifying is atoning for the crime.”

……

Huo Yuhao and Chi Qiu rushed to Luoyue City non-stop, using the fastest speed, and the space cracks were used many times to travel. This did greatly improve the efficiency of traveling, but the range was still a little short. Huo Yuhao predicted that after he broke through the Title Douluo, he would have a new improvement in this part of his ability.

The State Master's visit to Luoyue City was not a big deal. Huo Yuhao entered the city gate in his usual plain clothes. If someone was not familiar with his face, they would probably just mistake him for an ordinary person. This was because he was now able to restrain his aura very carefully. Chi Qiu walked beside him, holding the Golden Dragon Spear, wearing a light golden dragon scale armor, like his golden bodyguard.

Li Lan still went out to greet him in person. Huo Yuhao felt that less than half a month had passed, and he seemed to have aged a little. Yin Yun was the young hero of Luoyue City and the child he loved. The changes in him were burning Li Lan's heart that was dedicated to responsibility.

“No need for the red tape,” Huo Yuhao said as soon as he saw him, “City Lord Li, let’s get straight to the point.”

So Li Lan used the mahogany cane to lead him into the house and asked him to check on Yin Yun. The two servants of the city lord were making the food into liquid food so that Yin Yun, who was in an unconscious state, could eat normally.

As soon as he entered the door, he first called Meng Hongchen and gave her a rough design of the metal shell he drew on the way, asking her to return to Mingdu and ask Xiao Hongchen to help him make it overnight. Even the most advanced assembly line in Mingde Hall would be less efficient in the face of such a complex structure. At present, in order to complete the soul guide of the Death God Tower with such precision, only Xiao Hongchen's ability could catch up with the efficiency he wanted.

Meng Hongchen nodded and reminded Huo Yuhao before leaving:

"Yin Yun's condition should have gradually deteriorated in the past few days. Senior Yin Shuang and I both tend to speculate that it is parasitic, but we have not done in-depth research in this area. It's up to you."

Huo Yuhao nodded solemnly. He half-knelt in front of Yin Yun, opened his eyelids, and saw that the whites of his eyes were covered with fine purple-red bloodshot, just like a spider web. He maintained this state, and then the single eye on his forehead suddenly opened, and a silver thread passed through Yin Yun's mind and went straight into the sea of ​​​​spirituality.

Huo Yuhao didn’t actually have much experience with parasitism, but he was sure that all of a soul master’s problems could be solved by exploring the sea of ​​​​spirituality and checking the soul power veins.

In a blink of an eye, his spiritual body had appeared in the boy's spiritual sea. He seemed to have come to a foggy forest. The visible distance was no more than ten meters around him. Only by moving forward could he see the scene in front of him clearly. Was there a lavender flash in the sky? The flash turned into a faint purple halo under the thick fog. Huo Yuhao could only barely judge that this was the occasional flash of consciousness of a certain existence, but it was still impossible to judge whether it was Yin Yun's or that "parasite".

As soon as he raised his hand, a light green soul energy spread from his body. Wherever this green light full of life reached, the fog was temporarily dispelled. Yin Yun's mental power was still too weak for his realm, and this chaos could not stop his "invasion".

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

In a moment of clarity, Huo Yuhao saw a strange forest. The reason why it was called strange was that all the tree trunks were not straight, but twisted at abnormal angles that he could not understand. The leaves were all dark purple, and their shapes could not be seen clearly. Or maybe they were all one piece, without individual shapes... In the depths of this strange forest, Huo Yuhao noticed that there was indeed something faintly glowing with a milky white halo.

Huo Yuhao was already familiar with exploring the spiritual world. He had even dealt with situations like Tang Ya's, which gave him confidence. He prepared himself and headed directly towards the forest.

Just as he reached the edge of the forest, a purple gust of wind blew up his long hair and collar. His hair was not cut. Chi Qiu had tied his hair for him every day during this period, and occasionally changed his hairstyle according to her wishes. He raised his hand to block the gust of wind, and immediately saw several strange creatures that looked like wolves and lions squatting beside him, opening their bloody mouths at him.

As a thought body in the spiritual world, Huo Yuhao can only use all the abilities of the Eye of All Spirits. However, this is enough. Apart from being cautious and not damaging the stability of the entire spiritual sea, there is no reason to stop him. On the contrary, as a thought body, he can use the changes of mental power more flexibly and freely.

He pressed his palm on the head of one of the monsters, and the soul shock was dissolved in his palm. The place where the monster was touched immediately twisted, and then turned into a purple mist that suddenly spread in his palm. He turned around like the wind, and the long hair that was swung was a mental interference that passed by. The monsters that were swept by immediately let out chaotic screams. The mental balance field turned into interesting cages for trapped animals, locking the remaining monsters in them. In a blink of an eye, the cages turned into skinning blades. The mental deprivation made them have their tendons and bones torn, leaving behind several pieces of flesh that were powerless to resist. Finally, he stretched out his hand and made a slight twisting gesture. The mental imprint was like an invisible giant hand that kneaded the skins of these monsters together and kneaded out an image that Huo Yuhao had in mind: He didn't know what to think of, so he just thought of a docile dragon in his mind.

"It feels great," he exhaled, "There are very few mysterious moments when I can use my mental power like this."

He looked at the purple dragon he had created and tilted his head towards it:

"I am your master, you know that."

The dragon curled up its limbs obediently, bent its body, folded its wings, and lowered its head. This set of movements was very similar to his fearful dragon friend Jiangyang. In his imagination, there was only such an image of a dragon submitting to him.

"At your command," the dragon said, just as he would have done to any person he had mentally imprinted. There was an eerie echo to his voice, as if he were not in a misty forest but in a small, quiet, enclosed room.

“Tell me what’s going on here,” Huo Yuhao said, “I want to know about this forest, the purple flash in the sky, and the light in the center of the forest.”

"This is..." The dragon's eyes flashed with sadness, "our destroyed home."

"What does it mean?"

"A long time ago, our home was destroyed by a sudden purple storm." The dragon said, "The violent winds passed through, leaving almost nothing behind. As residents here, we had nowhere to escape and were about to be swallowed up by the collapsing world. However, that day, our king came and asked us to provide him with nutrients for growth, and he would protect us from the difficulties. So we fed him nutrients and worked for him from then on, and he brought us this forest on which we now depend for survival. But..."

"But?"

"Not long before you came, this place was not so foggy. Instead, everything was clear. Except for this free and wild forest, there was only desolation. We were still rational at that time, trying not to be swallowed by our nature in the forest, but to maintain the life state before all destruction. However, after the fog rose, we lost our reason. If you hadn't calmed us down..."

Huo Yuhao listened to these descriptions and connected them with the situation in the spiritual world. Suddenly, a bad guess came to his mind.
