The White Tiger Duke's Mansion, Huo Yun'er's Tomb.
"Mom, I'm back. I've come to see you," Huo Yuhao said softly.
He looked at the extremely simple wooden tombstone in front of him, his eyes filled with nostalgia.
At that Shi Nian to give his mother a grand funeral. All he could do was carve a wooden tombstone by hand and lay a mound of earth on her grave.
Just thinking about this made Huo Yuhao's eyes flash with hatred again.
After the Duchess's death, the White Tiger Duke must have returned.
Even under these circumstances, he didn't come to repair his mother's grave.
He must have long forgotten his mother—and he probably had no idea he even had a son he had never met, or even knew anything about.
"Mom, your son is back, and he's doing well now."
Huo Yuhao knelt before his mother's grave, whispering to her about his experiences over the past few days.
"Master should have already rescued you. After some time, and then some more time, I will go to the Divine Realm to retrieve you and truly bring you back to life—"
At this point, Huo Yuhao's eyes gradually hardened.
Soon, Huo Yuhao wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, stood up, and reached for the Storage Soul Tool at his waist.
The next moment, huge granite blocks appeared out of thin air around Huo Yun'er's grave.
A chill gathered at his fingertips, transforming into an extremely Sharpness carving knife.
Holding a carving knife formed from Ultimate Ice, Huo Yuhao began carving these granite pieces.
He began using these granite stones to repair his mother's grave and to carve a more solemn tombstone.
He will make up for the things he couldn't do before, one by one.
He has begun to collect the debts owed to him and his mother by the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, one by one!
Huo Yun'er's grave was already in a remote location, and Huo Yuhao's Simulation Soul Skill was also there to conceal it.
During the half-day he spent repairing the grave, no one else Frisk the commotion.
After all, this place would hardly be noticed by anyone else.
Not long after, Huo Yuhao looked at his mother's Refresh grave and brand-new tombstone.
The large characters on the tombstone clearly caught his eye: "Tomb of Mother Huo Yun'er ".
In the lower right corner, his name was written: Huo Yuhao!
He is Huo Yuhao!
It was true in the past, it is true now, and it will be true in the future!
This will never change!
As for whether the inscription on the tombstone will expose his identity and the things he has done?
Huo Yuhao had never worried about this.
He no longer cares about his identity being exposed, and besides, Dai Hao probably never even knew he had a son like him.
"How ridiculous!"
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but snort coldly.
If Dai Hao had truly cared even a little bit about his mother, how could he and his mother have had such a difficult time at the White Tiger Duke's Mansion?
Under such circumstances, how could Dai Hao possibly know that he was the mastermind behind all of this?
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao shook his head and glanced sideways at Dai Yueheng, who was still unconscious to the side.
She walked slowly toward Dai Yueheng and placed her hand on his lower abdomen.
The next moment, Huo Yuhao's Soul Power surged, and his spiritual power and Ultimate Ice Soul Power immediately flowed into Dai Yueheng's body through his hand, heading straight for his dantian.
Under the ravages of the raging mental and icy power, his dantian was instantly destroyed, and even his years of painstakingly cultivated Soul Power vanished without a trace.
Vanished without a trace.
Even his prized White Tiger Martial Soul was gradually slipping away from him!
Ah~!
Dai Yueheng, who had been forced into a coma by Huo Yuhao's Mass Weakening Soul Skill, let out an extremely shrill scream.
Growl that was completely unlike anything a normal human could make.
What did you do to me?!
Awakened by the intense pain Dai Yueheng felt weak all over. His eyes widened in anger as he glared at Huo Yuhao, his eyes bloodshot, and he gasped for breath, demanding, "Where's my Soul Power? Why can't I feel my Soul Power anymore? And my Martial Soul, where's my Martial Soul?!"
"Who are you? I have no grudge against you, why are you arresting me?"
"Why did you do this to me?" Dai Yueheng roared hysterically, his voice filled with resentment.
Why did he have to suffer such an undeserved misfortune!
He had no recollection of offending such a powerful Soul Master.
"No enmity or grudge?"
Huo Yuhao sneered, looking down at Dai Yueheng with icy eyes. " Dai Yueheng, look around, and think carefully. Do you really not recognize me?"
Is there truly no enmity or grudge between us?
"Is this the White Tiger Duke's Mansion?" Dai Yueheng's eyes widened in disbelief.
Why was he in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion?
The thief kidnapped him and actually took him back to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion!
What is he trying to do?
However, when his eyes, inherited from the White Tiger lineage, clearly saw Huo Yuhao's face, the young man's features involuntarily overlapped with a certain figure in his memory.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
Dai Yueheng exclaimed in shock, struggling to stand up. "Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could you be that child from back then?"
Huo Yuhao, how could you possibly be Huo Yuhao?
Huo Yun'er's child, Huo Yuhao, is nothing more than a useless person with innate level one Soul Power.
He's a piece of trash, even worse than Dai Luoli, and poses no threat to his position whatsoever.
How could someone have cultivated to such a level in such a short time!
"Don't call me that name!"
"Never let me hear that name from your mouth again!"
A rare look of anger appeared on Huo Yuhao's face. The next moment, he suddenly raised his hand and swung it at Dai Yueheng.
With a sharp crack, a very clear palm print appeared on the other person's face, which then swelled up.
With this extremely loud slap, several of Dai Yueheng's teeth were knocked out.
"I know I was wrong----"
Dai Yueheng struggled to get up, only to find that several of his bones seemed to have been broken by Huo Yuhao's tremendous force.
Unable to straighten up.
All he wants now is to survive.
Thinking of this, Dai Yueheng crawled towards Huo Yuhao using both hands and feet, and soon reached Huo Yuhao's feet. He raised his head and wept uncontrollably at Huo Yuhao.
His tone was full of remorse. "I was wrong, Huo Yuhao, I really know I was wrong."
Please spare me.
"I'm just a piece of trash now, I can't pose any threat to you."
At this point, Dai Yueheng pointed to Huo Yun'er's Refresh grave beside him. "I can stay here and guard Aunt Yun's grave for you, and repent for Aunt Yun here for the rest of my life."
Huo Yuhao silently looked at him, at Dai Yueheng, who was now begging for mercy at his feet like a lapdog!
Like a drowning person grasping at a last straw, Dai Yueheng continued, "Besides, what happened back then had nothing to do with me. I really didn't know that Dai Huabin would lead a group of people to beat up Aunt Yun!"
That was planned by my mother and carried out by Dai Huabin. It had nothing to do with me!
"I knew nothing about this. If I had known beforehand, I would have stopped their foolish actions!"
"I will definitely help you so that you and Aunt Yun can live well in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion— "
"What happened back then really had nothing to do with me! And—I truly know I was wrong!"
Please, have mercy on me!
From now on, let me stay here to guard Aunt Yun's grave, to atone for the sins I have committed in the past.
"Ah----!"
Before Dai Yueheng could continue his confession, Huo Yuhao had already reached out and grabbed his neck, pinching his throat and lifting him up.
His gaze toward Dai Yueheng turned icy cold at that moment, Huo Yuhao gently shook his head as he looked at Dai Yueheng's despairing eyes.
"Regret? No, you don't regret it, you just know you're going to die!"
"If you truly have even a sliver of regret, it's not about what you did, but rather that you didn't personally kill me."
Huo Yuhao's eyes were full of disdain as he said this.
Sure enough, when faced with imminent death, Dai Yueheng, like his mother, would do anything and say anything to survive.
Moreover, if what Dai Yueheng said was true, and he really knew nothing about everything, then how could he be so clear about what happened to him and his mother?
"Snap!"
As Huo Yuhao finished speaking, he suddenly tightened his grip on Dai Yueheng's throat, snapping his neck in two. Dai Yueheng's eyes widened in disbelief.
He never imagined that he, once a prodigy of the Shrek Academy, would be killed in such a humiliating way.
He died in such an unknown place, and no one will know about it. He may never even be able to wait for someone to avenge him.
Huo Yuhao glanced at Dai Yueheng's gradually limp corpse, a hint of pleasure flashing in his eyes.
He looked up at the sky and murmured softly, "Mother, can you see that?"
Dai Hao's most valued eldest son, Dai Yueheng, who was seen as a potential successor to the title of White Tiger Duke, is now dead, just like his mother, the Duchess, and his good-for-nothing younger brother, Dai Huabin!
Dai Huabin was the first, but Dai Yueheng will certainly not be the last!
"What the White Tiger Duke's Mansion owes my son and me, I will make them pay back, one by one."
"It definitely will!"
At this point, Huo Yuhao glanced down at Dai Yueheng's still-warm corpse again, and gently delivered a chop to his neck.
The Ultimate Ice Soul Power suddenly erupted, severing his head, which had lost its Soul Power protection, along the neck.
Soon, under the burst of Ultimate Ice Soul Power, Dai Yueheng's head was directly Ice Seal, turning into an incorruptible ice sculpture.
Under Huo Yuhao's control of his Soul Power, it slowly landed in front of Huo Yun'er's tombstone, like a sacrifice.
Then, Huo Yuhao reached to his waist and took out another head, also Ice Seal by Ultimate Ice, and placed it to the side of Dai Yueheng's head.
The face of this head looks somewhat similar to that of Dai Yueheng, and it is the head of the Duchess, the mastermind behind his and his mother's years of suffering.
Seeing the identical expressions of terror and resentment on the faces of the two immortal ice sculptures, Huo Yuhao said softly, "Mother, let them repent here for what they have done."
Wait for me; it won't be long before I go to the Divine Realm to be with you.
But as he said this, a hint of regret crept into Huo Yuhao's voice.
When he killed Dai Huabin, he was too young and didn't consider the consequences.
He was blown to the head with Soul Impact; otherwise, his head should have been preserved at all costs.
A family should always be together, shouldn't they?
Soon, Huo Yuhao reached to his waist and pulled out a rather uniquely shaped rhombus-shaped Soul Tool.
With the infusion of Huo Yuhao's Soul Power, the Soul Tool that had been custom-made for him was activated and placed between the two heads.
As the Soul Tool Soul Tool activated, the light around it seemed to be distorted, gradually disappearing in a blur, along with the entire surrounding tomb.
After doing all this, Huo Yuhao turned and left.
However, shortly after Huo Yuhao left, a sigh suddenly echoed from the grave.
However, Huo Yuhao had already turned and left, and did not hear that voice that he knew all too well.
Not long after, near the outskirts of the capital city of the Mingdu Sun Moon Empire.
Looking at the steel jungle not far away, Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and temporarily put what had happened earlier out of his mind.
He took out a trench coat from his Storage Soul Tool, put on the hood, and then, with the help of his Simulation Soul Skill, entered the city as if no one was around.
Just as he entered the city, when he caught a glimpse of the enormous statue near the city gate, he paused and looked at it. Although it was the first time Huo Yuhao had seen this majestic statue made of steel, the extremely familiar face still made his lips twitch involuntarily.
Is this a statue of my master?
I've only been away for a few months, not Mingdu.
How come even the Mingdu now has a statue of their master, just like the Body Sect's headquarters?
Immediately afterwards, golden light gathered in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and he used the enhanced vision of his Spirit Eyes to look down at the base of the statue.
Before long, the inscription on the base of the statue was clearly visible.
Lord of Divine Grace and Soul Spirit!
Although the faces are the same, the name carved at the bottom of the statue is indeed completely different from that of the statue of the Body Sect.
The statue in the Body Sect is named Ancestor.
Upon seeing this, Huo Yuhao had to examine the remaining text more closely.
Before long, Huo Yuhao had figured out the meaning behind the titles of Lord of Divine Grace and Soul Spirit.
They also understood why so many Soul Master sincerely worshipped this statue.
The text details the master's achievements and contributions within the Sun Moon Empire:
He single-handedly slayed all the high-level Evil Soul Master on the continent, restoring peace to the continent after a long period of stagnation.
Besides that, his most important contribution was the promotion of the Soul Spirit.
According to the inscription on the statue, the Soul Spirit that has recently spread widely within the Sun Moon Empire and greatly benefited many Soul Master and Soul Engineer is also this person's masterpiece!
Is that why Master is referred to here as the Lord of Divine Grace and Soul Spirit?
Huo Yuhao had unknowingly arrived at the foot of the statue and looked up at it quietly.
However, another question arose in my mind.
Is the information about the master's background, as recorded below the statue, reliable?
A deity worshipped by the royal family, upon hearing the Empress's call, revived and began to restore order to the chaos on the continent.
Is this right? This doesn't seem right!
This sounds like utter nonsense.
Isn't Master a member of the Body Sect? How could he possibly be a deity worshipped by the Sun Moon Empire?
We still need to go ask Senior Qian what exactly happened.
They must know the origin of this statue and the purpose of placing it here!
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao turned around and quickly left the vicinity of the statue, rushing towards Qian Daoliu and the others.
However, as he traveled rapidly through the territory of Mingdu, everything he saw and perceived along the way left him even more astonished.
These statues seem to be everywhere!
It seems to be everywhere.
