Huo Yuhao's Killing Intent, Star Luo's Moves

Huo Yuhao's right toe twitched, moving forward half an inch.

My gaze once again cut through the crowd and landed on Dai Hao's hopeful face.

Somehow, this face gradually overlapped with another face in my memory—pale, thin, with bruises around its eyes.

The woman held his hand tightly before she died; the warmth of her thin, bony fingers seemed like something he would remember for a lifetime. In his heart, that was the true, Ultimate Ice.

Huo Yuhao's toes, which had just been raised, were frozen in place.

The anger surging in his eyes cooled down in that instant.

"And then?" he whispered in his Sea of Consciousness.

Tian Meng and Yu Xiaogang were both taken aback.

"Should we acknowledge him as our father first?"

"Should I call that first wife 'stepmother' again?"

"Finally, shall we be good brothers with Dai Huabin, sharing a brotherly bond?"

Yu Xiaogang seemed unaware of Huo Yuhao's unusual behavior.

His illusory remnant soul floated in a corner of his Sea of Consciousness, still talking eloquently:

"Yuhao, you're still too young."

"Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles. Once you sit on the throne of the Star Luo Emperor, holding the resources of the entire empire in your hands, past scores can be settled naturally."

"When the time comes, how you want to manipulate the Dai Family will be entirely up to you."

"Will they let me do the math?!"

Huo Yuhao's voice suddenly rose, causing the entire Sea of Spirit to tremble.

Yu Xiaogang trembled at the shock of this mental fluctuation, and for a moment he was even somewhat dazed: Was this still Huo Yuhao?

"I relied on the Dai Family's recognition of my ancestry and Shrek Academy's support to get to that position, and then I went to kill the Duchess? To go to the city and find Dai Huabin to pay for my life?"

Will they agree?

"At that time, Xuan Zi will jump out, Yan Shaozhe will jump out, and even Dai Hao will stand in front of me!"

How will they talk to me?

"A phrase like 'considering the overall situation of the Dai Family,' a phrase like 'the friendship between fellow disciples of Shrek Academy,' and then a phrase as hypocritical as 'we're all family!'" Fine blood vessels appeared in Huo Yuhao's eyes, as if he wanted to dye his Spirit Eyes bloodshot.

"They want me to swallow this anger, to forget all the blood my mother vomited in the woodshed, and the cold she suffered!"

Deep within her Sea of Consciousness, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was unusually quiet.

At this moment, it stopped uttering a single word, silently mobilizing its Spiritual Power to seal off Huo Yuhao's turbulent Sea of Consciousness, preventing his emotional fluctuations and killing intent from leaking to the outside world.

In reality, under the shadow of the boulder.

Huo Yuhao's nails, which were digging into his palm, loosened little by little. He forcefully pulled back the toes that had already taken half a step, and stood still in the darkness.

"If he wants to be it, then let him be it!" Huo Yuhao closed his eyes.

"Whether it's Dai Yueheng or Dai Huabin, regardless of whether they become the White Tiger Duke, the Star Luo Emperor, or a top disciple of the Shrek Academy's Inner Court!"

"If I get the chance, I'll kill them all without hesitation!"

The verdict echoed in his Sea of Consciousness. Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth, but in the end, he only swallowed hard and didn't dare to say anything more to provoke this bad luck.

A few steps away, Dai Hao was still whispering with Yan Shaozhe about the follow-up arrangements. Their expressions were relaxed, and they were completely unaware of the strange behavior of the boy, who looked to be about ten years old, not far away.

At this moment, Tang San's eyes were filled with a purple light as he took in Dai Hao's relief, Yan Shaozhe's scheming, and Huo Yuhao's subtle movement as he retreated into the shadows.

"Fool." Tang San sneered inwardly.

Who says the throne can only go to those two good-for-nothings Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin?

Huo Yuhao also carries the blood of the Dai Family and is the chosen one of this era, a child of destiny who has gathered the fortune of heaven and earth.

Why not just let him ascend the throne as a member of the Dai Family?

Once Huo Yuhao becomes the Star Luo Emperor, Shrek Academy can arrange for him to marry Xu Jiujiu, the princess of the Star Luo Imperial Family.

In this way, they could appease the royalists in the Star Luo Empire by using the legitimacy of the Xu Family, thus legitimately annexing the power of the Star Luo Empire, and also rightfully sever the ties between Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

Thinking of Wang Dong Tang San only gave them a headache, but at the moment they had no good ideas.

The further Huo Yuhao is from Wang Dong, the better, so that I will have more opportunities to develop.

However, dealing with Huo Yuhao's deep-seated resentment towards the Dai Family, as well as the attitude of Xu Jiujiu from the Star Luo Imperial Family, will indeed require some effort and will not be accomplished overnight.

"No rush," Tang San thought to himself.

The most important thing right now is to rush to the Star Dou Great Forest. As long as we capture that Emperor Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion and add its Power of Destiny to our body, we can use the luck to cover up the secrets of heaven.

Only by escaping the next detection by that being from the Divine Realm will he have the right to live and slowly reclaim everything that is his!

Star Luo City, deep within the imperial palace.

The Imperial Study was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Only the gilded incense burner in the corner of the desk emitted Sisi of calming fragrance.

She stood behind the imperial desk for Xu Jiujiu, wearing only a plain-colored casual dress. She laid out several secret reports bearing the coded marks of the Heaven Dou City contact point, her gaze sweeping over the brief words repeatedly for a long time.

A night breeze squeezed in through the cracks in the window, causing the candlelight to flicker.

Xu Jiujiu, he finally raised his head and looked at the black-clad servant kneeling on one knee in front of the desk:

"Still no message from my elder brother?"

The servant lowered his head even further and replied respectfully:

"No, Your Highness."

"His Majesty's last public appearance was when he entered Sunset Forest with Yan Shaozhe of Shrek Academy."

"Duke Dai and Cheng Gang followed them inside, and they haven't come out since, nor have any imperial edicts been sent back."

Xu Jiujiu pause, his slender fingertips pressed against the crease of one of the letters. "Have the questions from the court officials, and the urgent inquiry letter I sent you, been delivered?"

"It has already been sent to Heaven Dou City," the attendant reported truthfully.

"Our Shadow Network stationed in Heaven Dou City have also tried to negotiate, but our people can't get into the Poison Miasma at all, let alone anything else. We haven't even seen His Majesty's footprints yet."

Xu Jiujiu frowned, unwilling to give up, and said, "It's bad enough that we can't see my imperial brother, but what about Cheng Gang, the retainer?"

"He's Titled Douluo, even if he was blocked by the Shrek people, surely he couldn't find a way to send back even a single word?"

The attendant shook his head. "We've heard nothing from Cheng Gang, the retainer."

Xu Jiujiu silence followed.

She waved her hand, signaling the servants to leave.

Only when the wooden door creaked shut, shutting out the night outside, did she turn around and look at the old woman in the red dress who had been sitting in the armchair beside her.

"Manyi Xu Jiujiu felt increasingly uneasy. At this moment, all the clues pointed to one answer, but it was the answer she least wanted to accept.

"I feel something's not right."
