Douluo's ice devil Yuhao

Chapter 565: The Forgotten Northland Douluo
There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Even if there was a friendship of ten thousand years in the past, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect can still re-examine its relationship with Shrek for its own future.

But as the saying goes, if you want to reduce the number of enemies, the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect will certainly not draw a clear line with Shrek. The wisest approach is to keep wavering and weighing all parties to make the choice that best suits their own interests.

If Shrek can offer conditions that cannot be refused in the future, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will certainly embrace them again.

Huo Yuhao was not aware of the actions of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. He was currently in Mingdu working with Jing Hongchen to fight against dissidents.

Although it was rather complicated, there was no strong resistance. Jing Hongchen was now lawless, and there was no one who could check and balance him. Starry Sky Douluo had been transferred away, and Elder Kong was in a critical period of seclusion, so there were only a few people left who could speak in front of him.

Several princes dared to be angry but not to speak out, the titled priests in the Temple of Worship were unwilling to take the initiative to provoke him, and the protests of the civil servants remained only verbal, and no one could stop Jing Hongchen.

Only the few ninth-level soul masters in the army can unite and fight back. Jing Hongchen has no power to mobilize them, but the army cannot interfere in the affairs of the court.

Officials who had previously had ties with underground forces were arrested or punished, and for a time, everyone in the officialdom felt insecure.

There is a member in the cabinet who makes the Sun and Moon officials very afraid. This person is called Huo Yuhao, and his strength is unfathomable and he appears and disappears mysteriously. The key is that he holds the will of His Majesty and has great power. He can kill first and report later, and suddenly announce the removal of a minister without any warning.

But no one dared to impeach him. They all knew how Huo Yuhao and the Northern Family behind him supported the new emperor in launching a coup.

However, as time passed, it seemed that everyone, even Jing Hongchen, seemed to have inadvertently forgotten something.

Where did that Northland Douluo go?

Kong Lao was in seclusion, but the royal family could ask him to come out if there was anything important. But since when, Beidi Douluo had never appeared again, and there was no news from him.

And there is another terrifying thing that no one is aware of. They have never mentioned Beidi Douluo on their own initiative.

Discussing the names, martial spirits, spirit rings, and spirit skills of powerful men can be said to be an entertainment activity that people in Douluo Continent love to watch.

Although Beidi Douluo has never truly displayed his martial soul and soul skills, the three bright red hundred thousand year soul rings behind him are enough to arouse people's imagination.

But such a mysterious and powerful man suddenly disappeared from everyone's consciousness from a certain point in time, and no one would take the initiative to mention him.

The same is true for Lian Jing Hong Chen.

He was the first outsider to have a personal conversation with Beidi Douluo. It was precisely because of the existence of Beidi Douluo that he made a desperate move and chose to stand on Huo Yuhao's side with the Hongchen Family.

It can be said that the Hongchen Family’s current supreme status is also due to the Northland Douluo.

However, Jing Hongchen seemed to have forgotten this powerful man.

Sun and Moon Palace, Cabinet.

Jing Hongchen is handling government affairs. His position is second only to the Prime Minister, but holding all the power also means being busy.

But there was no fatigue in Jing Hongchen's eyes, only excitement. These tasks were not more complicated than those of Mingde Hall, but the level of power was completely different.

For him, a Titled Douluo, this is not considered hard work. Power is the best tonic.

"Master Hongchen, how does it feel to hold all the power?"

A question with a smile came into the room.

Jing Hongchen put down the documents and said with a smile: "Who said that this hall master has all the power? Didn't I hand over so many things to the people below to handle?"

Without raising his head, he recognized the person by the tone of voice. It was Huo Yuhao. Only he dared to "offend" Jing Hongchen like this. Huo Yuhao smiled. He said he would let the subordinates handle it, but weren't the subordinates still Jing Hongchen's people?
Jing Hongchen is in a very happy mood now. The Hongchen family has been passed down for many years and now has reached the peak in his hands. The achievement and glory in his heart are unprecedented.

But the problem is also very realistic. Mingdetang is indeed powerful, but it is not enough to control the entire Sun and Moon Empire.

It is easy to unite the party and eliminate dissidents, but it is not easy to cultivate people you can trust.

Huo Yuhao was not in a hurry about this. Mingde Hall was more than enough to maintain the normal operation of the state machinery. As long as the general direction was controlled, everything could be done slowly.

He sat down and said in a relaxed tone: "Hongchen Hall is mainly short of people. You can consider letting Xiao and Meng join the cabinet."

Jing Hongchen's expression became a little more serious after hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Considering Xiao and Meng's ages, they are still too young. They should practice for a few more years."

He was extremely cautious towards his two grandchildren. Despite their impressive talents and having become sixth-level soul mentors and soul emperors before the age of 20, in Jing Hongchen's eyes, they were still not fully grown.

Jing Hongchen knew very well that although he was extremely powerful, countless people hated him immensely. This hatred towards himself would naturally be passed on to his grandchildren.

He only has these two grandchildren, and the future of the Hongchen family depends on them.

Huo Yuhao naturally saw Jing Hongchen’s worry and felt extremely sad.

There is a reason why big families use all means to expand their branches and leaves, such as the Sun and Moon Imperial Family and the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect.

A family can only prosper when there are many people. If a family only has one or two people in a generation, who knows when it will be cut off.

He was very curious about how those families that had been passed down from generation to generation for tens of thousands of years did it. If they offended someone, the other party would kill your heir at all costs, then wouldn't the family be extinct?
Huo Yuhao could understand Jing Hongchen’s thoughts, most likely because of the father of Hongchen’s siblings.

He had never seen Xiao Meng's parents, nor had he heard them mention them. Jing Hongchen had never talked about his son and daughter-in-law, as if it was a taboo.

Huo Yuhao had not asked about it, probably because it was some bad memory that he had only heard someone mention once. To put it mildly, these two people were probably gone, and had become the eternal sorrow in Jing Hongchen's heart.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao suddenly heard Jing Hongchen ask: "Yuhao, I wonder... how is Senior Beidi doing recently?"

Huo Yuhao answered casually, “Seeing that the situation in Sun and Moon was stable, he has returned to the Far North.”

"Well, as long as the senior from the North comes to Mingdu in the future, Hongchen will definitely treat him with great respect." Jing Hongchen nodded.

"Ah."

Huo Yuhao didn't say much, just responded softly.

He was a little surprised that Jing Hongchen suddenly mentioned Beidi Douluo.

Because since a few months ago, he has been using mental suggestion to influence everyone in the palace, trying to subconsciously make them forget the existence of Beidi Douluo.

The influence of mental suggestion was very successful, but unfortunately the effect on Titled Douluo and above was a bit worse.

Huo Yuhao smiled softly. It was better not to mention someone who didn't exist. The unfathomable strong ones were the most intimidating.

Unfortunately, mental suggestion cannot replace real emotions. Not mentioning something because of taboo or oblivion is completely different from not mentioning it because of other emotions, just like Jing Hongchen never mentioned his son.

However, this also gave Huo Yuhao a new inspiration.

He looked at Jing Hongchen meaningfully, as if he had discovered a special use of emotion.
