Dai Yueheng's Killing Intent, Ma Xiaotao: He's My Little Brother!

When Dai Hao saw everything Huo Yuhao had gone through at the Duke Mansion,

he completely slumped into his chair, two streams of murky tears rolling down his slightly aged cheeks.

He had never imagined

that after Yun'er and Yuhao were brought back to the Duke Mansion, their lives would be worse than those of servants.

The Duchess's suppression had even led to the current situation where father and son had become bitter enemies.

"Yun'er... I've wronged you."

"I failed to protect you and our child..."

His voice grew lower and lower, finally turning into silent sobs.

In the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest,

deep beneath the waters of Life Lake.

Gu Yuena's eyes were filled with confusion.

She did not care about Huo Yuhao's childhood experiences. Instead, she was thinking about the God-Making Plan mentioned earlier by the Sky Screen.

Every tribulation faced by a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was a life-or-death trial, and quite a few Soul Beasts had fallen beneath heavenly lightning.

In her memories,

the only being in the Douluo Plane to have endured ten lightning tribulations was the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King from ten thousand years ago!

There should not have been any other Million-Year Soul Beasts besides him!

Then where had the Million-Year Soul Beast Huo Yuhao encountered come from?

"Huo Yuhao, fifth on the Heavenly Pride Ranking... is Dai Hao's illegitimate son!?"

Star Luo Empire,

within the imperial palace.

Xu Jiawei sat upon the throne, his expression becoming extremely complicated.

"I never expected the Evil Eye Dai Clan to be so favored by Heaven."

"It is only a pity that Dai Hao's Duchess personally destroyed their future."

A Child of Destiny personally acknowledged by the Sky Screen,

the God-Making Plan of a Million-Year Soul Beast, and a god from another world

were all reshaping his worldview.

Fortunately, there was a blood feud between Huo Yuhao and the Duke Mansion.

Otherwise, in a few decades, they would have to hand over the Star Luo throne.

Xu Jiujiu had also recovered from her shock.

Her brows furrowed slightly, a trace of solemnity flashing through her eyes as she said quietly,

"Brother, since Huo Yuhao wishes to cut off Duke White Tiger's line of inheritance, should we secretly help him?"

"No need."

Xu Jiawei waved his hand and sighed.

"Jiujiu, your heart is unsettled."

"Suppressing the Duke Mansion would indeed benefit us, but the Sun Moon Empire's threat is right before us. We still need Dai Hao and the Duke Mansion's strength."

"As for Huo Yuhao, he is only at the second ring for now."

"As the Sky Screen said, I fear many people are interested in his identity as a Child of Destiny and the method of making gods. We only need to watch how things unfold."

"A Body Martial Soul, the Spirit Eye, and the Child of Destiny of Douluo Continent?"

"Hahahaha."

Heaven Dou Empire,

Body Sect.

Du Busi looked at the scene on the Sky Screen and threw back his head in laughter, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes.

"Everyone in the world who possesses a Body Martial Soul belongs to my Body Sect!"

"Yuhao is a treasure Heaven has bestowed upon my Body Sect!"

"Pass down my order. Gather half the disciples above Soul Sage cultivation and follow this old man to Shrek Academy to bring him back!"

Deep within the Evil Spirit Forest,

the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Zhongli Wu stared at the Sky Screen and muttered to himself, unable to suppress the excitement in his voice.

"A god from another world, a Necromancer Saint!?"

"This child must be the Holy Son Heaven has bestowed upon our Holy Spirit Cult!"

Feng Ling stood at his side, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Cult Master, Huo Yuhao is a core disciple of Shrek Academy. It likely will not be easy to win him over..."

"Then snatch him!"

Zhongli Wu sneered, a vicious glint flashing through his eyes.

"Seize the inheritor of the Necromancer Saint, let holy light shine upon the earth, and let the Holy Spirit descend upon the mortal world!"

"Yes!"

Feng Ling bowed to accept the order and said no more.

Inside the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy convoy,

Xiao Hongchen lowered his head, his voice filled with unwillingness.

"Why? Why is Huo Yuhao the Child of Destiny?"

"How am I, Xiao Hongchen, inferior to him? Why wasn't I the one chosen by the Million-Year Soul Beast?"

Meng Hongchen sat beside him, holding his arm as she comforted him softly.

"Brother, your talent is no worse than his!"

"Once we win this Soul Master Tournament, perhaps the Douluo Plane will choose you."

Xiao Hongchen shook his head with a bitter smile.

He sighed, his voice filled with helplessness.

"Little Meng, you don't understand."

"He was chosen by the plane and has the potential to become a god, while I..."

He did not continue, but the unwillingness in his eyes grew even stronger.

Ma Rulong glanced at him and said calmly,

"Xiao Hongchen, so what if he is a Child of Destiny? So what if he can become a god?"

"I heard that ten thousand years ago, the god who appeared on Douluo Continent was severely wounded by Tang Sect Hidden Weapons and nearly died!"

"Our Sun Moon Empire's Soul Guidance Technology is countless times stronger than those Tang Sect Hidden Weapons. With Soul Tools, we may not be unable to slay gods!"

At those words,

Xiao Hongchen was slightly stunned. Then a smile curled onto his lips as realization dawned on him.

"Brother Ma is right."

"The person chosen by the plane may not necessarily be invincible!"

"I will prove to the world that I, Xiao Hongchen, am no worse than Huo Yuhao!"

Shrek Academy,

inside the Sea God Lake lounge.

Dai Yueheng and Huo Yuhao stared into each other's eyes, the atmosphere taut as drawn swords.

Several official team members and people from the Tang Sect immediately gathered around them.

That was because

they had all sensed the Soul Power fluctuations around the two,

fearing that they would come to blows.

Dai Yueheng took a deep breath and rapidly considered his options.

Should he strike now and kill Huo Yuhao, preventing him from truly taking revenge on the White Tiger Duke Mansion in the future?

Sacrificing himself alone in exchange for the peace of the entire White Tiger Duke Mansion would be a worthwhile deal.

His gaze swiftly swept over Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Ma Xiaotao, and the others beside Huo Yuhao. His tightly clenched fists gradually loosened.

Everyone present had close ties with Huo Yuhao.

There was absolutely no way he could kill him.

Not to mention the Million-Year Soul Beast and Necromancer Saint mentioned by the Sky Screen.

Perhaps those strange beings had also left Huo Yuhao with some trump cards.

Among the official team members, meanwhile,

only Chen Zifeng could stand with him.

At that thought,

Dai Yueheng's killing intent instantly receded. His voice softened, carrying earnest sincerity.

"Yuhao, you and I are brothers of the same clan. Why must things reach the point of life and death?"

"Father has spent years leading troops outside to defend the empire, while I have been studying at the academy. I did not know Mother and Huabin had committed such wrongs."

"Once this matter is over, I will definitely give you an explanation. How about it?"

At those words,

Huo Yuhao's expression remained indifferent.

The hatred buried deep within his heart had been exposed by the Sky Screen, and he no longer intended to hide it.

"Dai Yueheng, at a time like this, you still want to say such nonsense?"

"If my mother had not been driven to death by the Duchess, I could have compromised. But someone must pay for my mother's life!"

"I'll wait for you to come kill me, provided you have the ability!"

Dai Yueheng's expression stiffened.

The gentleness he had displayed earlier completely froze.

Xu Sanshi was the first to step forward. Walking to Huo Yuhao's side, he looked directly at Dai Yueheng.

"Xiao Yuhao, if anyone wants to hurt you, your Third Senior Brother will be the first to refuse!"

He Caitou also nodded forcefully, his gaze toward Dai Yueheng carrying a little more hostility.
