Star Dou Great Forest

At that thought, Le Zhengyue's eyes flickered faintly.

Though these were only his speculations, they were probably more or less spot-on.

The thought somehow put him a little more at ease.

Days passed, and Le Zhengyue waited there for nearly half a month.

During that time, he had also been making arrangements—or, more accurately, secretly helping Huo Yuhao.

He needed to help Huo Yuhao escape early.

And most likely, Huo Yuhao would definitely take his mother, Huo Yun'er, with him.

Le Zhengyue didn't care about that.

All he cared about was Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and the enormous opportunity that was Electrolux.

So, although secretly helping Huo Yuhao wasn't part of his original plan, taking action early was no difficult matter for the sake of that plan.

With his help, some attendants who had originally felt nothing for Huo Yuhao, or had even been hostile toward him, began opening one gate after another after being bought off with money, willing to help Huo Yuhao leave the White Tiger Duke Mansion.

After half a month of preparation, Le Zhengyue finally received word that day.

"Young Master, Huo Yuhao will most likely leave with his mother, Huo Yun'er, tonight. The carriage has been arranged, and they'll head straight for Star Luo City."

The Angel Guard paused after saying this.

Another Angel Guard hurriedly continued, "And as you requested, we've found someone to play the role of a so-called good Samaritan and arranged everything according to your script."

"After Huo Yuhao and his mother arrive in Star Luo City, they'll stay at the place we bought in advance. Then Huo Yuhao will most likely head to the Star Dou Great Forest ahead of time to obtain that so-called opportunity."

The guard was somewhat bewildered when he mentioned the opportunity, because he didn't understand what this so-called opportunity was.

But all he needed to do was carry out Le Zhengyue's orders.

Seeing that the two men had completed the tasks he'd assigned them, Le Zhengyue nodded calmly.

Now all he had to do was keep waiting.

That night, in the White Tiger Duke Mansion, a boy who was only six years old stood there.

His eyes held a trace of nervousness, and a woman stood beside him.

The woman was clearly ill.

Huo Yuhao, tense with worry, held his mother's hand tightly.

The two of them quickly slipped away along a concealed passage that had been prepared for them in advance.

Huo Yuhao found it strange, but he had no time to think about it.

Right now, getting his mother out and finding medicinal herbs for her was the most important thing.

Huo Yuhao should have faced considerable resistance when he tried to leave. After all, that Madam certainly wouldn't want him to survive.

But to his surprise, he got away with ease.

With the attendants' help, he easily left the White Tiger Duke Mansion, which had kept him and his mother trapped for more than six years.

The sky was silver.

The crescent moon hung above, its gentle light spilling across the earth.

Basking in the moonlight that filled the sky, Huo Yuhao drew a deep breath.

By the time the two of them emerged, the carriage was already waiting.

This left Huo Yuhao somewhat puzzled. In the original timeline, he hadn't received this kind of treatment.

But now that his strength had awakened and he had shown his talent, it made sense that these attendants would curry favor with him.

As he pondered this, Huo Yuhao helped his mother into the carriage.

He drove it toward Star Luo City.

What Huo Yuhao didn't know was that several Soul King-level experts stood silently around him, among them even Soul Emperors.

They were silently guarding the carriage.

It wasn't that no one had come out from the direction of the White Tiger Duke Mansion. Every single person who had followed them had already been killed.

The White Tiger Duke Mansion's guards, along with the people that Madam had sent out after sensing something was wrong, had all been easily slain by the Angel Guards.

The White Tiger Duke Mansion was actually quite powerful, ranking among the very strongest forces in the entire Star Luo Empire.

But there was a fundamental difference between the two sides: every Angel Guard was a Battle Armor Master, and they had Battle Armor.

Though the Angel Guards were only at the Soul King or Soul Emperor level, their Battle Armor let them unleash power no weaker than an ordinary Soul Saint's or even a Soul Douluo's.

The other side, meanwhile, had only ordinary Soul Kings and Soul Emperors.

The gap between them was huge.

After receiving the report, Le Zhengyue's eyes flickered faintly. He had already arranged lodging for Huo Yuhao.

Next, he just needed to get Huo Yuhao to go to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Although he had helped Huo Yuhao rescue his mother, Huo Yun'er had also become a trump card in his hand—a card he could use to threaten Huo Yuhao.

So, all in all, he hadn't lost out.

Besides, he hadn't given Huo Yuhao any money, so at the moment Huo Yuhao had none.

If he wanted to grow stronger, his best option was still to head to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Just as Le Zhengyue had expected.

What could a six-year-old boy with a gravely ill mother do after arriving here, hoping to find treatment for her?

He would have to gain strength and prove his talent first. Only then might he attract someone's investment and keep himself and his mother alive.

Even six-year-old Huo Yuhao understood this, let alone the Huo Yuhao who had returned to the past.

So Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered as he settled on his final goal: the Star Dou Great Forest.

After all, he had only encountered Sky Dream Ice Silkworm after going there, but no one could say for certain whether it might appear earlier.

And even if Sky Dream Ice Silkworm didn't show up, he could still go there and figure something else out.

As he watched his mother lying in bed, looking listless, Huo Yuhao's wavering heart finally grew firm.

"If I don't go now, my mother will definitely die. I don't even know whether this world has a Divine Realm. It's clearly different from the world I lived in before."

"If this world has no Divine Realm, then my mother will really die."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao drew a deep breath.

For his mother's sake, he had to head to the Star Dou Great Forest early.

Even if he obtained a relatively weak Soul Ring ahead of schedule, he still had to make sure his mother could survive.

As he set off for the Star Dou Great Forest, Le Zhengyue decided to follow.

There was nothing to hesitate about.

Whether to help Huo Yuhao or for Huo Yun'er's sake, his most important goal was Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux in the Star Dou Great Forest.

So he felt no guilt at all about prompting Huo Yuhao to leave.

Watching the figure in plain clothes hurry away from Star Luo City toward the Star Dou Great Forest, Le Zhengyue sat inside the Red Mecha, silently following behind.

He watched Huo Yuhao wash his dirty, worn clothes, dry them over a fire, then go to the river to catch fish and start making Yuhao Grilled Fish.

This went on for about three days before Huo Yuhao finally reached the entrance to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Looking at the Star Dou Great Forest, Le Zhengyue's eyes flickered faintly.

After waiting so many days, they had finally reached this point.
