Chapter 358: Xingluo Emperor's Defense Breaks (Part 2)

Late at night, the Starry Night dinner was coming to an end.

The Xingluo Emperor specially called Huo Yuhao and asked him to wait for a while after the banquet as he wanted to talk to him about something.

Huo Yuhao responded and waited.

……

Led by the attendant, Huo Yuhao and his companion entered the study and waited.

"What is the Emperor of Xingluo doing? Is he trying to bribe you?" Qian Renxue whispered in his ear, looking around the layout of the study.

“If he really wanted to win people’s hearts, he wouldn’t have let you follow him.” Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

"That's true." Qian Renxue nodded, "But if he only wants to see you and avoid me, doesn't that mean he wants to cause trouble?"

“Maybe he’s worried that I won’t buy it.” Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

"Am I that important?" Qian Renxue clasped her hands behind her back, tilted her face upward with a smile on her face.

"Yeah." Huo Yuhao raised his hand and touched the top of her head.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the hall.

Huo Yuhao and Qian Renxue looked up and saw two figures coming in from outside the hall.

“Greetings, Your Majesty and the Queen.” Huo Yuhao bowed.

Qian Renxue followed beside him and saluted.

She had been lurking in the Tiandou royal family for so long, so the act of paying her respects was not something she would feel bitter or vengeful about.

To her, these were just formalities.

"I don't deserve that. We are just your elders at most." Emperor Xingluo said with a frank smile.

Qian Renxue was a little surprised.

This... Could it be that Emperor Xingluo already knows Yuhao's identity?

"Your Highness Qian, this is our first meeting today. I don't know what you like. I do have a collection of jewelry. Would you like to show me some?" said the graceful and elegant queen with a smile.

jewelry?

Qian Renxue's eyes revealed a hint of suspicion, and she turned to look at Huo Yuhao beside her.

The queen obviously wanted to restrain her and create a private environment for the Xingluo Emperor. Was she preparing for a private chat?

Huo Yuhao nodded and motioned for her to go.

Qian Renxue responded with a smile and followed the queen out of the study.

Emperor Xingluo discussed with Huo Yuhao the construction progress of the defense project and the handover of soul guide technology.

Huo Yuhao answered patiently.

"As for the soul guide technicians, will they be transferred from the Wuhun Branch Hall, or will a separate soul master organization be formed?" asked the Xingluo Emperor.

"The key to selecting a soul master is the strength of his spirit. Your Majesty can decide these matters on your own," Huo Yuhao explained.

"Then how about forming a 'Spirit Transfer Tower'?" asked Emperor Xing Luo.

Huo Yuhao’s eyes suddenly became stern. “Your Majesty, if you have something to say, just say it.”

Emperor Xingluo couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm really curious about how a genius like you could appear in this world."

Huo Yuhao had a cold expression, as if saying, "If you keep arguing with me about the void and the snake, shut up."

The Xingluo Emperor immediately restrained himself and skipped the lengthy spell-casting process.

"Soul Guidance Devices, the inheritance of ancient soul guidance device technology, is it related to the original Fire Valley?"

He said this in a lighthearted tone, but one could vaguely hear a hint of regret in his voice.

Huo Yuhao understood immediately after hearing this.

The emperor thought that he brought this soul guide technology from the Volcano Valley.

The three major sects attacked the Spirit Hall, and the spirit master team was instantly wiped out!

Soul guides have come to the fore, shocking the entire soul master world!

These were all after he first entered the Valley of Fire. Later, the Spirit Hall began to use soul guides, and the outside world only then knew about the "offensive" soul guides!

"That's right." Huo Yuhao said.

He knew very well that people only believe what they think is the truth.

Trying to make excuses will not lead to any conclusion.

"I guess so, that's it?" Emperor Xingluo said with a smile.

"Of course, I am very clear that even if the opportunity is right in front of us, we may not be able to unlock it. You are a person favored by luck." The Xingluo Emperor added.

This is both emotional and helpless.

The Yin-Yang Jade Talisman has been in their hands for many years, but they still cannot reveal the secret of the volcano.

“Your Majesty, please just say what you want to say.” Huo Yuhao said bluntly.

"I have a question. When we sent the ships out to sea, you must have heard some remarks, and that's why you boarded the ship, right?" said Emperor Xingluo.

"That valley filled with dragon remains!" Emperor Xingluo said in a deep voice.

Huo Yuhao didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.

“As a result, you didn’t find the valley, but you accidentally discovered another continent. So - I have a question.” The Xingluo Emperor stared at Huo Yuhao.

"What is your purpose in teaching soul guide technology in the name of the 'Spirit Transmission Tower' in the Sun and Moon Continent?" The Xingluo Emperor's eyes were sharp and his tone revealed a hint of questioning.

"Are those defense projects to resist invasion from other worlds, or to fight against the Sun and Moon Continent?"

"You founded the Spirit Transferring Tower to enhance the strength of the Sun Moon Continent. What are you planning to do?

“What do you think, Your Majesty?” Huo Yuhao asked back.

"I just hope you are not a lunatic!" said the Xingluo Emperor in a deep voice.

If a conflict occurs between the two continents, the more equal their strengths, the more brutal and fierce the fight will be.

What exactly does he want to do by encouraging both sides to develop soul guides?

"I can't." Huo Yuhao said calmly.

He discovered a problem.

The Xing Luo Empire, or more precisely, the Xing Luo decision-makers, completely regarded the Abyss Plane as a game.

On the Spirit Hall side, even if the Pope believes in this matter, the people in charge of implementation may not necessarily carry it out seriously.

But come to think of it.

The idea that there is another continent across the ocean is easy to accept.

In comparison, the invasion from another dimension is simply a fantasy.

Or it was too advanced and unheard of.

But the reality is cruel.

The Abyss Plane is already biting the Douluo Plane, and the void rifts will gradually open.

When the invasion war breaks out in full swing, if we then think about speeding up the construction of defensive cities, it will be the common people who will pay the price, not the top decision-makers.

Even if he used his mental power to control the Xingluo Emperor, whether he could carry it out was still a question.

“If this is all your Majesty wants to say, then I think we can end this topic now,” Huo Yuhao said calmly.

He planned to give the Xingluo Emperor a mental stamp, making him firmly believe that the "invasion from another world" was a "fact."

Emperor Xingluo was just about to speak.

“Your Majesty, all the preparations you have made before, including playing the emotional card and using intimidation, are aimed at making me set fewer restrictions on soul guide technology, isn’t that right?” Huo Yuhao said calmly.

The Xingluo Emperor's pupils suddenly condensed.

How did he know?

"Besides, you know I'm interested in the secrets of Dragon Valley, and you also know that the Platinum Bishop Yelivi leaked the news."

"You cannot set foot in that place, so naturally you cannot grab the treasures and value from it."

“The real purpose of your inquiry into the Fire Valley was actually a test, so you planned to sell the information to me in order to gain as much benefit as possible in soul guide technology, so as to catch up with the development of soul guides of the Spirit Hall and get rid of the reins around your neck.” Huo Yuhao said in a calm tone.

Every word Huo Yuhao said was like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart hard.

That kind of mind was exposed, and the unreasonable fear enveloped him and made him feel known.

“By the way, regarding the Fourth Prince’s self-proclaimed title, it’s purely for fun, if you take it seriously.” Huo Yuhao said lightly.

The Xingluo Emperor's defense was completely broken.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao's eyes suddenly lit up, and dazzling golden pupils ignited in the study.
