Chapter 301

"my own?"

This sentence made the middle-aged man laugh. He stared at Huo Yuhao and said through gritted teeth, “The Xingluo Empire belongs to those nobles. What does it have to do with commoners like us? Those nobles treat us as human beings. They even took the food here with them when they escaped. If it weren’t for the people from the Sun-Moon Empire distributing food, we would have starved. Of course we should be happy. Why shouldn’t we be happy?”

“This…” Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized, “It’s just food. Why would the Sun-Moon Empire treat us well?”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man did not refute, but widened his eyes, took a few steps back, and subconsciously said: "You are not spies, right?"

The man's voice was so loud that it immediately attracted the attention of the patrol team of the Sun-Moon Empire nearby. Soldiers wearing soul guide armor quickly moved over here.

The civilians around dispersed at the same time, consciously making room for the soldiers of the Sun-Moon Empire to surround Huo Yuhao, Zhang Lexuan, and the middle-aged man.

Such a scene instantly stunned Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan, especially Huo Yuhao. He didn't understand why the middle-aged man in front of him revealed their identities after just a few words.

At this moment, the civilians around them noticed the changes in Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan's expressions and confirmed their identities.

brush!
The sound of breaking air was heard, and civilians kept picking up stones and other debris around them and throwing them at them.

boom!
In this situation, Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan knew that there was no need to hide anything, and an invisible mental force burst out from Huo Yuhao.

The invisible force instantly stopped the rocks and debris that were thrown at them, and the aura of the Titled Douluo was suppressed from Zhang Lexuan at the same time.

It stunned everyone including the Sun and Moon soldiers. At the same time, due to the leakage of aura, the high-altitude detectors suspended above Jinfeng City began to alarm frantically.

Upon receiving the information, the soul guide corps around the city quickly gathered towards Jinfeng City.

Since he had been exposed anyway, Huo Yuhao directly released his mental detection, and everything in the entire Jinfeng City was reflected in his mind.

"It's time to go, Senior Sister." Huo Yuhao said, took a deep look at the middle-aged man whose eyes had turned red, and took out his flying soul guide.

Click!

The sound of metal folding was heard, and Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan rose into the air. As they flew into the air, Zhang Lexuan retracted the momentum she had released.

"Get away, this is no longer the Xing Luo Empire!"

Angry voices rang out from the city below. Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan looked down and saw the middle-aged man who had previously exposed their identities. He was now holding a rusty sickle that came from nowhere and was shouting loudly.

This ordinary person, who clearly had no soul power at all, showed no fear at all. He seemed to not care at all that Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan had the power to kill him with ease.

One stone can cause a thousand ripples. With the middle-aged man taking the lead, civilians kept shouting at them to get away.

"This"

Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan were confused and did not stop. The surrounding soul guide army had already assembled. They controlled the flying soul guides behind them and left quickly.

Over the next two days, Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan quietly moved towards Xingluo City while investigating the situation in the Xingluo Empire.

In order to find out why everything happened that day, Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan discovered a horrifying fact after only two days of investigation.

The Sun-Moon Empire is actually awakening the martial souls for all civilians in the Star Luo Empire who have not awakened their martial souls, regardless of their age.

Moreover, all civilians who have innate soul power after awakening their martial souls will receive subsidies from the Sun-Moon Empire, which is no more than one gold soul coin per person per month. Among them, children under the age of twelve, if they awaken their soul power, can choose to accept the funding of the Sun-Moon Empire and study in the Soul Instructor Academy established by the Sun-Moon Empire for free.

Although those soul instructor academies are a bit simple, they all have real soul masters as teachers.

They even laid soul-guided street lights in the city and set up a propaganda team to publicize the laws of the Sun-Moon Empire.

The most terrifying thing was that Huo Yuhao discovered that the laws of the Sun-Moon Empire did not give the nobles the privilege of immunity from punishment. All the nobles who broke the law were arrested by the Sun-Moon Empire’s army and were awaiting trial.

Huo Yuhao also discovered that the Sun-Moon Empire actually put forward the slogan of "Serving the People".

It was precisely because of these that the Sun-Moon Empire quickly won the hearts of the people of the Star Luo Empire in less than a month.

All this made Huo Yuhao shudder. If the Sun-Moon Empire was allowed to continue fighting like this, it would be almost inevitable that the Sun-Moon Empire would unify the continent.

But Huo Yuhao absolutely did not want to see the foreign Sun-Moon Empire eventually rule the entire Douluo Continent. That was something he could not accept psychologically.

……

Wow!

On the huge Xingluo Square of the Xingluo Imperial City, a scorching sun was suspended high in the sky. This was the Xingluo Square that was once used to host the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition.

A row of prisoners wearing prison uniforms, shackles on their feet, and handcuffs on their hands were walking towards the center of Xingluo Square step by step under the guard of soldiers.

At this moment, a huge soul guide screen was set up on the main street of Xingluo City, and on the screen was the real-time broadcast of the trial of the White Tiger Duke's lineage of the former Xingluo Empire.

Everyone in Xingluo City could see that Dai Hao, the White Tiger Duke who was once second only to the emperor and above everyone else, was wearing shackles and walking at the front of the team, followed by his wife Zhu Ying.

On the top of the Xingluo Imperial City, Juzi, dressed in palace attire, sat in the front row, with Luanfeng and Wang Lin sitting on either side.

Standing behind Wang Lin was a blonde woman in a yellow dress. She was Ye Guyi who was imprisoned in the undead demiplane by Huo Yuhao.

At this moment, Ye Guyi had been subdued by Wang Lin and had the honor of standing on the wall of Xingluo Imperial City and watching the grand drama of the trial of the White Tiger Duke's lineage.

Juzi glanced at the civilians surrounding the square below, then turned to look at Wang Lin and asked, "Are you here?"

“No, but he will definitely come.” Wang Lin shook his head, and the invisible spiritual detection swept across the square below again. What Orange asked about was naturally the whereabouts of Huo Yuhao.

Ever since Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan were exposed in Jinfeng City three days ago, the Sun Moon Empire has been on guard against Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan appearing today.

Not only Wang Lin, in the sky of Xingluo City, more than a dozen high-altitude detection soul guides were operating at full capacity, constantly scanning the entire Xingluo City.

At the same time, in a secret prison in the city, Xingluo Emperor Xu Jiawei, Princess Xu Jiujiu, and other Xingluo royal family members who usually committed evil deeds, were now wearing black hoods.

Waiting for the soldiers of the Sun and Moon Empire to give them a decent show.

On the other side, at the east gate of the Xing Luo Empire, Huo Yuhao, who had returned to visit the graves, arrived late with Zhang Lexuan at this time.
