Chapter 135 The storm is rising
"Pa!" Dai Hao slapped the Duchess fiercely on the face, and his uncontrollable strength knocked the Duchess to the ground.

"You ignorant woman! My White Tiger lineage was almost destroyed in your hands today!"

In the quiet room, Dai Hao grabbed the Duchess from the ground and stared at her face.

"You are such a vicious person. In order to deal with Yu Hao, you even colluded with the Sun and Moon Empire, Zhu Yan! As a duchess, don't you even know what the worst crime of colluding with an enemy country is?!"

No matter what Dai Hao said, the Duchess, who was held in Dai Hao's hand, was like a mindless puppet and did not say a word.

Seeing the Duchess like this, Dai Hao felt very sad. "I, Dai Hao, have always acted uprightly. The thing I regret most in this life is marrying an ignorant lady like you. If it weren't for you, how could Yun'er die of illness in the Duke's Mansion? If it weren't for you, how could the brothers become like this? They should have been the closest brothers!"

When the Duchess heard Dai Hao mention her child, she finally reacted, but this reaction was not a very normal one.

When the Duchess saw Dai Hao's familiar yet unfamiliar face, she couldn't help laughing out loud, and her laughter became louder and louder. Even the servants outside the door could hear the desolate meaning in the Duchess's laughter.

"Blame it all on me? Hahahaha! Dai Hao, you are really good at acting, hahaha, hahaha!"

"You've always told people that you've worked your way up from a small soldier to where you are today, but the truth is, Dai Hao! If you weren't the descendant of the White Tiger Duke, do you think you could have gotten to where you are today?!"

The Duchess said with mockery in her eyes: "Dai Hao, no matter how many lies you tell, they are still lies. Don't fool yourself! The Western Army Group you went to back then was originally a legion created by the Duke of White Tiger. How many people in the whole army don't know you?"

"What you call meritorious service is nothing more than your father placing the prey in front of you and letting you hunt!"

"Shut up!" Dai Hao covered the Duchess' mouth in anger. "I deserve all this! I, Dai Hao, joined the army at the age of thirteen, and I have fought hard to get to where I am today!"

"Ignorant lady! How dare you slander me!"

The Duchess was no pushover either. Even though Dai Hao covered her mouth and nose, her hands and feet were still agile.

The Duchess pulled out a hairpin from her head and inserted it into the back of Dai Hao's hand. Dai Hao's palm was pierced and blood flowed out from it.

Dai Hao was careless for a moment and cried out in pain.

Looking at the blood drops on his palm, Dai Hao completely tore his face off and kicked the Duchess in the stomach, kicking the Duchess several meters away.

"Cough cough." The Duchess was half lying on the ground, coughing up blood from the corner of her mouth, but her eyes revealed madness.

"Dai Hao, Dai Hao, you hate that you married me, but I hate myself for marrying a heartless man like you!"

"When you married me, you told me that you would treat me wholeheartedly, but what happened in reality?" The Duchess tore off her gorgeous clothes like crazy. "What about Huo Yun'er and that bitch in the west? Not only did I give birth to two children for you, but you even wanted to marry other women. Now, do you regret marrying me?"

"Dai Hao! Listen to me clearly. I am a lunatic. I harmed Huo Yun'er and betrayed the Xing Luo Empire. Everyone in this world has a reason to kill me, except you!"

"Shut up!" Golden light burst out from Dai Hao's eyes, and a huge white tiger appeared faintly behind Dai Hao. Dai Hao hit the Duchess in the chest with a palm. The Duchess spat out blood, her eyes dimmed, and she gradually lost her life.

The Duchess never imagined that Dai Hao would actually kill her.

He has no feelings for me...

Before she fell into endless darkness, this thought suddenly popped into the Duchess's mind.

Dai Hao clearly didn't use much strength, but after killing the Duchess, he stood there panting and unable to move.

This man, who had fought on the battlefield for nearly half his life, felt fear or... trembling for the first time because of killing someone.

Dai Hao sat down on the chair, looking at the dead Duchess with blank eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Sir, that man has been killed-Ah!!"

The servant who came from outside to report the news lowered his head and happened to meet the eyes of the Duchess lying on the ground. He was so scared that he immediately collapsed to the ground.

Dai Hao, who was awakened by the shouting, took a look at the servant and immediately ordered: "Clean up the entire mansion. All those who participated in the persecution of Huo Yun'er and her son back then will be cleared out."

After giving the order, Dai Hao turned and left, leaving only a silent corpse in the silent room.

After a while, several dark figures silently walked out from the unknown shadows, and cooperated with each other skillfully to carry the Duchess's body out and clean up the scene.

The Duchess was the most distinguished person to die tonight, but she was not the only one to die. But it was also because of her death that the deaths of others were linked.

When those people carried the Duchess's body out, they saw that the entire yard of the Duke's Mansion was already filled with corpses.

Next to the corpse, all the servants of the Duke's Mansion knelt there trembling with fear, waiting for their fate to come.

"This woman, surnamed Zhu, is——"

"Since your last name is Zhu, you have no right to live."

With a "whoosh" sound of a knife, the Zhu Master who had humiliated Huo Yuhao in front of everyone in the Duke's Mansion was killed without even having the qualifications to argue for himself.

No one cheered, no one felt sorry for her, and no one even told her why she was dying. This not-innocent Zhu just died like that.

"next."

"These guys are the ones working in the laundry room—"

"There's no need to distinguish them. Kill all those who worked in the laundry room back then."

"Boss, wouldn't this be a bit bad? What if someone is the young master's benefactor?"

"Ha, kid, what are you talking about? You actually think there are good people in this Duke's Mansion? This mansion has always been a place where people are eaten without blinking an eye. How could there be good people?"

"What you said does make some sense, but in fact, there are good people even in the deep mansions, but they are very few."

Huo Yuhao, who was hiding outside the Duke's Mansion in a black robe, shook his head after hearing what those people were talking about and debated in his mind.

"Is it done, old man?"

Huo Yuhao asked in the sea of ​​​​consciousness. Huo Yuhao came here quietly this time not to watch the fun. In fact, there was nothing exciting to see here.

“Okay.” As Elder Yi finished speaking, a soul floated out from the Duchess’s body and was taken by Huo Yuhao into the Eye of the Living Being where Alex was.

Huo Yuhao had actually been learning necromancy from Master Yi, but after all, he had only just started and many things were still unclear, so how to put away the Duchess's body still depended on Alex.

Huo Yuhao collected the Duchess's body not to revive her, nor to torture her like the Holy Spirit Cult did. Huo Yuhao had already figured out how to deal with the Duchess's soul. "Let's go, someone is coming." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, who had not appeared for a long time, reminded.

Huo Yuhao immediately became alert, secretly looking around, and prepared to escape.

"Second Young Master, you have killed Dai Huabin and severely injured Dai Yueheng. The Duchess unfortunately died under your scheme.

Second Young Master, death is the greatest thing, so don't follow the Holy Spirit Church's approach, or else it will be very difficult to explain yourself when you are discovered."

Two old men, one fat and one thin, calmly walked out from the darkness and bowed to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao frowned and dodged the other party's greeting: "I am not the Second Young Master you are talking about. You have mistaken me for someone else."

After saying this, Huo Yuhao turned around and was about to leave.

"Second Young Master, whether you admit it or not, you are the second young master of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, and the blood of the White Tiger Dai family is always flowing in your body." The thin old man between the fat and thin old men said calmly.

“Really? Then do whatever you want. I won’t recognize you anyway.” Huo Yuhao said and was about to leave. However, after taking only two steps, Huo Yuhao suddenly stopped and turned around and said, “Also, my morality is better than those beasts of the Holy Spirit Church no matter how you look at it.”

Then, Huo Yuhao disappeared into the endless night.

The two old men, one fat and one thin, sighed when they saw Huo Yuhao leaving.

"This tradition hidden in the White Tiger bloodline is really hard to eradicate!"

On the other hand, although the emperor of the Star Luo Empire placed all the members of the Sun and Moon Team under house arrest, these people were not abused. On the contrary, they were treated to delicious food and drink.

"Brother, is this all true?" Meng Hongchen's question broke the silence at the scene. For a moment, the team members who still had doubts in their hearts looked at Xiao Hongchen, and they waited anxiously for Xiao Hongchen's answer.

But Xiao Hongchen didn't say anything.

The evidence is right in front of us, there is no need to say anything.

Huo Yuhao might have some plans to plot against him, but there was nothing wrong with what Huo Yuhao said.

When the throne was passed on, Xiao Hongchen had already grown up. He remembered that he was sitting in his grandfather Jing Hongchen's arms and listening to Jing Hongchen's analysis of the situation at that time.

At that time, Xiao Hongchen never imagined that this incident would turn into a ray of light shooting towards his forehead several years later.

As for the affairs of the Holy Spirit Church, Xiao Hongchen actually didn't know much. He just knew that such an evil soul master organization existed. Xiao Hongchen only found out today who the backers of the Holy Spirit Church were.

Xiao Hongchen's silence made everyone feel gloomy.

None of the people present who were selected to participate in the competition were unintelligent. Their hearts finally died down, because it turned out that the country they had always believed in was such a hell on earth.

"Fortunately, this year's Fighting Spirit Competition is held in the Star Luo Empire. Otherwise, wouldn't everyone in our empire be in a frenzy when they knew about this? This is a good thing. There are obstacles between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire. Even if this matter is reported back to the Sun Moon Empire, the top leaders will know about it first. Once the top leaders block the news, the impact of this matter can be minimized."

The leader of the Sun and Moon Team said with a little relief.

Everyone had complicated expressions when they heard this. From their own perspective, they also hated this kind of thing and wished that all the Holy Spirit Church members would die. But as talents cultivated by the Sun-Moon Empire, they knew that what the teacher said was right, and that doing so was the most beneficial method for the Sun-Moon Empire.

But Xiao Hongchen felt something was wrong.

Just by looking at the evidence that Huo Yuhao produced today, Xiao Hongchen could conclude that Huo Yuhao did this incident intentionally. If it was intentional, could Huo Yuhao know the existence of this loophole?
Xiao Hongchen’s guess was correct. Huo Yuhao had already made preparations on how to let the people of the Sun Moon Empire know about this matter.

"Are you all ready?"

"Ready!"

The Mingdou Mountains in the middle of the night were like a barrier, separating the Western Army of the Xingluo Empire stationed here from the army of the Sun and Moon Empire.

After Xuanji Douluo, the strongest fighting force in the group army, confirmed the time was correct, he led a thousand soldiers wearing flying soul guides behind him and quietly came to the vicinity of the Sun Moon Empire army. Then Xuanji Douluo changed his gestures and signaled everyone to take action.

Countless pieces of paper were blown into the sky above the army by the wind. Seeing that the papers had successfully entered the army, Xuanji Douluo retreated decisively.

At the same time, in other directions of the Mingdou Mountains, the same thing was happening.

The reason why Xuanji Douluo chose to act today, in addition to the agreement with Huo Yuhao, was more because of today's wind direction.

With the help of Feng Xiang, Xuanji Douluo successfully sent the information in.

In addition, in order to ensure that the other party could see it, Xuanji Douluo also put some papers in a huge balloon. When the other party broke the balloon, countless papers flew out.

"What's written on it?" The soldiers who had not yet rested looked at the contents of the paper curiously and passed a copy around to each of them.

When the army commander saw the information, he became furious and ordered everyone to destroy the papers. No one was allowed to read the contents on them. He also ordered the soldiers to hand in all the information they had picked up.

Originally, the orders issued by the commander in chief in the army were more effective than imperial decrees, but who could blame them for the fact that some of these soldiers had experienced the massacre of their village and clan by evil soul masters?

The Sun-Moon Empire has accumulated hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the border of the Mingdou Mountains, most of whom are poor people with no soul power.

Evil soul masters are not that scary to the upper class, because the Holy Spirit Church rarely takes action against important figures in order to hide their identities. After all, they have a cooperative relationship with the Sun-Moon Empire.

But in places where those big shots can't see, evil soul masters act much more rampantly.

In the book, when Ye Xishui died, he said in person that he had presided over the killing of hundreds of thousands of people many times.

So where did these hundreds of thousands or even millions of people who were killed come from?
In fact, they are just ordinary people at the bottom of society who have low status and are not valued by senior figures.

In the eyes of the upper class, the lower class people are nothing at all.

It was also because of this that when these soldiers learned of the Holy Spirit Church's massacre of civilians, the seeds in their hearts began to sprout.

They are eager to know whether what is happening here is true.

This is where the riots began.

　Shit, I fell asleep while writing last night, and when I woke up it was already the next day.
