Chapter 198 Emergencies
Soul bones are a very peculiar existence.

Or, the existence of soul bones proves that there is still a large amount of scattered soul power in the body of a soul beast after it loses its soul ring.

On Douluo Continent, almost everyone knows that soul bones are formed due to the unwillingness and resentment of soul beasts before their death.

Using the strong emotions of the soul beast itself as a trigger, the soul power distributed in the body is condensed on the bones of a certain part of the body, thus forming the so-called soul bones.

Huo Yuhao already knew this very clearly from the Ice Emperor, because in the original story line, in addition to being able to decide his own spirit rings, the Ice Emperor could also decide the form in which his spirit bones would be born.

Generally speaking, the energy of soul beasts is divided into three parts. The first part is the energy that can be separated and used to condense soul rings;
The second part is scattered in the body of the soul beast, and can be transformed into soul bone energy by strong emotions;
The third part of the energy is the energy of the soul beast's origin. This energy is closest to the soul of the soul beast. It is because of the existence of this energy that the soul is born.

After figuring these things out, Huo Yuhao was preparing to research a new type of elixir and try to refine it on a large scale. But before Huo Yuhao could start, he had to leave the Star Dou Great Forest because of a piece of news.

“What do you mean? The Body Sect wants to join the Starfall Empire? What a joke! With my teacher’s proud personality, how could he take the initiative to join other forces?” Huo Yuhao sneered and put away the research tools on his body.

"Really! No, it may not be true, but I really heard the rumor." Li Qingfeng rushed to Huo Yuhao with an anxious look on his face and said.

Meng Hongchen had left here because he had obtained the spirit ring, but Elder He and Li Qingfeng had remained here.

Li Qingfeng was here just to fight the soul beasts here every day, and Elder He stayed here just because he was worried about Huo Yuhao.

“Tell me about it in detail.” Huo Yuhao said with a frown.

"Someone told me that because of what happened back then, our Body Sect has not been able to walk openly on the continent, so now the Body Sect is in a situation of lack of successors. In this matter, the Sky Soul Empire chose to stand idly by and turned a blind eye to the plight of the Body Sect."

"And the Xingluo Empire promised that the Body Sect would be the state religion of the Xingluo Empire. All martial spirit awakeners in the Xingluo Empire would be chosen by the Body Sect first."

"Plus, you happen to be the son of the White Tiger Duke of the Xingluo Empire. So people are saying that the reason why the sect master accepted you as a disciple was partly because he wanted to use you as a springboard to unite with the Xingluo Empire."

For the first time, Huo Yuhao realized that although he knew all these characters, how come when they were connected together, he couldn’t recognize them at all?

Besides, when did I become so important? Even if my teacher was poisoned to death, if he wanted to conspire with the Xing Luo Empire, why would I need to act as a springboard in the middle?

Moreover, the hatred between him and Dai Hao was well known.

How could such an outrageous rumor be spread? Would anyone really believe such an absurd rumor?
"There are really people who believe it! We can even say that this news has already spread to the mainland. Otherwise, how would I know about it? It was the soul master who entered the Star Dou Great Forest who told me." Li Qingfeng said distressedly.

"Does this mean that this matter is already known to everyone?" Huo Yuhao asked in disbelief.

"Otherwise!"

“Huh~” Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and turned to walk outside: “Let’s go back to the sect.”

After Huo Yuhao said goodbye to Di Tian, ​​with the help of Elder He, the three of them quickly returned to the sect.

The atmosphere in the sect was a little impetuous. One should know that many of the disciples of the Body Sect were from the Heavenly Soul Empire. While they were disciples of the Body Sect, they were also the vital force of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Therefore, everyone is eager to know whether this matter is true.

"Yuhao, you're here." Huo Yuhao walked outside the sect hall and happened to meet Princess Vina who had come from other place.

Princess Vina looked calm and didn't seem to be affected by anything.

“Your Highness, aren’t you worried at all?” Huo Yuhao suddenly wanted to test Princess Vina’s true feelings.

"Why should we worry? This is obviously a rumor." Princess Vina smiled and shook her head: "The person who spread this rumor is not from our Tianhun Empire, because this rumor has too many loopholes."

"I originally thought so, but people like the teacher always do things without any rules. What if he suddenly really plans to do this?" Huo Yuhao looked at Princess Vina with interest and said.

When Princess Vina heard this, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, because Du Bushi never plays by the rules and does things unexpectedly. What if this kind of thing is true?

“Hahaha, don’t think too much, Princess. I was just saying it casually.” Huo Yuhao smiled and strode inside.

"Teacher, I, Huo Yuhao, want to see you." When they arrived at the meeting hall, Huo Yuhao bowed to Du Bu Si, who had a distressed look on his face.

"You've already come in, and you're still asking for a meeting? Okay, have you heard about that incident as well?" Du Bu Si unhappily asked Huo Yuhao to sit next to him.

“Hehe, this matter has spread all over the continent. I even heard the news in the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest.” Huo Yuhao said with a grin.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Du Bu Si asked.

"Simple. Teacher, you and the other seniors each take a rope and divide the disciples of the Body Sect into thirteen equal parts, then put all the valuables in the sect into the storage soul guides—"

"Snapped!"

“You little brat, I want you to think about how to suppress this rumor, not to make it come true.” Du Bu Si slapped Huo Yuhao on the back of his head in annoyance.

This also made Princess Vina, who had just walked in, feel relieved. She really thought that Huo Yuhao was telling the truth.

“That matter was just a rumor from the beginning to the end?” Huo Yuhao asked tentatively.

"Otherwise, people outside will know it earlier than me."

Just as the master and disciple were about to continue talking, Elder He suddenly rushed back from outside.

"Do you know?" Elder He asked anxiously.
"We know about it. Isn't it just a rumor circulating outside?" Huo Yuhao asked in confusion. Didn't you know about this a long time ago?
"It's not this." Elder He was stunned, then said anxiously: "Just now, news came from the Tianhun royal family that the emperor of the Tianhun Empire was poisoned last night, and it is said that the person who poisoned him is our sect leader." Everyone present was shocked when they heard this.

"How is my father?" Princess Vina asked anxiously.

"I don't know. I only know that he was poisoned by the sect master's special poison and he hasn't woken up yet." Elder He replied.

Princess Vina was in great confusion and looked at Du Bu Si with disbelief.

Du Bu Si looked puzzled at this time, "I have been in seclusion, and just walked out of the secret room this morning."

“That’s right. And if the teacher had done that, how could the teacher have let Emperor Tianhun survive? Senior sister, please wake up.” Huo Yuhao reminded hurriedly from the side.

After hearing what Huo Yuhao said, Princess Vina took a few deep breaths and gradually calmed down.

Yes, although Du Bu Si's actions were irregular, he was obviously not a person who liked to kill people casually. Moreover, with Du Bu Si's strength, if he entered the Tianhun Empire, there would be no chance that his father would survive.

“Someone is secretly trying to sow discord between us.” Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and said, “The strength of the Heavenly Soul Empire is not that strong to begin with, and the Body Sect, one of the three major forces in the soul master world, is located in the Heavenly Soul Empire.”

"With the example of the Xingguan Sect, no matter how much the Tianhun Empire believes in the Body Sect over the years, they must be wary of the Body Sect deep down in their hearts."

"The other party's move is to take advantage of the fragile relationship between the Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Empire."

"What should we do?" Elder He looked around anxiously, and saw that none of the people sitting in the main seat were dead.

However, Du Bu Si turned his gaze to Huo Yuhao who was standing aside.

"The first thing that must be done is to issue a notice to the outside world stating that we did not do this in our main body. Regardless of whether outsiders believe it or not, this statement must be issued." After thinking for a moment, Huo Yuhao gave the most conventional answer.

Du Bu Si nodded slightly, "There is more, but these words are not enough. People will not believe what we say for no reason."

“The second move is also very simple.” Huo Yuhao looked at Du Bu Si and said, “The second move is to issue a statement to the world. After our detailed investigation, we found that this matter was caused by the Sun Moon Empire. The Sun Moon Empire intended to subvert the Sky Soul Empire, so they deliberately designed such a thing.”

"Is it really the Sun-Moon Empire?" Princess Vina asked nervously.

“I don’t know, but the most likely one is the Sun-Moon Empire. And no matter whether it was done by the Sun-Moon Empire or not, this matter must be framed on the Sun-Moon Empire, because only if it was done by the Sun-Moon Empire it would be most consistent with everyone’s imagination.” Huo Yuhao said.

"It's still not enough. With just these two moves, at most, they can distract people's attention. But how can we explain to the Emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire? Will he really think that we did it?"

"And what do the other sects of the Tianhe Empire think? Will we think that there is a conflict between the Body Sect and the Tianhun Royal Family? If so, the misunderstanding between the two sides will become deeper and deeper."

“I don’t know how to solve the first one, but I know the second one very well.” Huo Yuhao looked at Princess Vina and said with a smile: “Your Highness has reached the right age to get married. Do you have any plans to get married?”

"What do you mean?"

"It's simple. As long as Princess Vina and Senior Brother Aotian get married and hold a grand wedding, people all over the world will think that there is no longer any conflict between the Tianhun Empire and the Body Sect. This is the simplest way to use marriage to show the mutual trust between the two sides."

In fact, this method is indeed very good, because Princess Vina and Long Aotian are already in love with each other. Although this is a political marriage, it is also a marriage between the two of them.

No, after hearing what Huo Yuhao said, Princess Vina blushed slightly but did not object to what Huo Yuhao said.

Although the great princess had thought about having a marriage without any political factors when she was young, it was just a thought. As a princess of the Emperor of Heaven, as a proton of the Emperor of Heaven in the main body,

If he enjoys the favorable conditions brought by the Tianhun Empire, then he must also shoulder the responsibilities that are necessary for the Tianhun Empire. This is a responsibility he was born with and it is irrefutable.

Fortunately, the person I am going to marry is the one I like and who also likes me. This can be said to be a blessing in disguise.

"Okay, in that case, let's find someone to find an auspicious day for the two parties to officially get married, and I and the Emperor of the Tianhun Empire will serve as witnesses." Du Bu Si quickly expressed his agreement.

"Third, I guess the person who allowed someone to enter the Tianhun Empire pretending to be a teacher and poison the Tianhun Emperor must not have known that the teacher's current cultivation level is very different, and the poison in his body is also very different from before."

"If this can be proven, then all the accusations will be wiped out."

"But this is only the lowest-end method. Even if the teacher shows his newly evolved poisonous soul power in front of the Emperor of the Heavenly Empire, the other party may agree on the surface, but he will secretly express his disagreement in his heart. It is better to do this."

Yu Hao smiled and gave Du Bu Si an idea.

"Since someone said that you attacked the Tianhun Empire, then I will really attack the Tianhun Empire and let the royal family of the Tianhun Empire see what the real poison is. I will also tell them that if you want to execute the people here, how can you let them survive?"

"Of course, this is also to deter the royal family of the Tianhun Empire, so that they will not think about it all the time and quietly develop their national strength. The most important thing for both sides to do is to establish an alliance relationship."

Upon hearing what Huo Yuhao said, Du Bu Si immediately burst into laughter.

Before, when Huo Yuhao said that he wanted to show off his cultivation like a troupe in front of the royal family of the Tianhong Empire, Du Bu Si looked a little unhappy. Now, after hearing Huo Yuhao talk about the best solution, Du Bu Si laughed heartily.

That's right, why should I, a peerless master, waste my time talking to them? If I want to fight, how many of these people can be my opponents?

If someone wants to frame you, you have to have the ability to do so. If not, you are just a clown pretending to be someone else.

Of course, in addition to this point, Huo Yuhao did not say something else, which is that we must find out who did this and then retaliate accordingly. Otherwise, there will always be a hand in the dark taking action, and then everyone will fail.

You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no way to prevent a thief for a thousand days.
