Douluo's ice devil Yuhao

Chapter 566 The Pain of the Times

Many things cannot withstand in-depth scrutiny. If you really want to investigate, you might find out something, such as the origins of the current new Sun and Moon Emperor.

Although the old emperor erased many traces of Cai Tou's father's lineage after the successful coup, those who were interested in the matter would find that the new emperor's identity was full of doubts as long as they carefully verified it, and they would always find something by following the clues.

However, Huo Yuhao deliberately made everything vague. There were many rumors about him in the sky, and he did not deny them. These rumors would spawn multiple versions, making it impossible for people to figure out the truth.

On the other hand, he was always using mental suggestion, which made everyone no longer doubt his identity.

But his purpose was not to make the people of Mingdu always respect him, but to slowly start to ignore the existence of this identity.

Huo Yuhao became more and more fond of the skill of mental suggestion, which directly saved him from a lot of unnecessary obstacles.

It is true that he is now extremely powerful and can easily suppress all voices that oppose him, or even completely eliminate them. But as a benevolent ruler, he cannot be so cruel. Moreover, even if he eliminates the opponents, the interest groups they represent will still exist.

"Can you also be called a benevolent monarch... You have eliminated so many dissidents as soon as you ascended the throne." The voice of the Ice Emperor came from the sea of ​​​​spirituality.

Huo Yuhao said as a matter of course: “I did carry out a purge, but I only deprived them of their power, not their lives. Isn’t this merciful enough?”

"To reform, I have to sacrifice the interests of a group of people, and since I don't want to sacrifice myself, I can only sacrifice them. These are just some inevitable twists and turns on the road of development of the Sun-Moon Empire, and the pains of the times."

Huo Yuhao was not worried about the officials making trouble. These people couldn't even pass the test of Jing Hongchen. As long as Kong Deming didn't come out, the situation in Mingdu would not change at all.

“Yuhao, you can actually try a more convenient method.” Tian Meng suddenly had an idea and excitedly suggested to Huo Yuhao, “Mental suggestion is still too slow to take effect. You can try mental control, which is the brainwashing method used by those people.”

The group of people she was referring to was the Holy Spirit Church. Brainwashing was their specialty. Even ordinary soul masters could be completely transformed into evil soul masters.

"Although you haven't obtained the corresponding soul skills, but based on your mental strength, I believe it shouldn't be a problem to directly control the Soul Douluo."

Huo Yuhao remained silent when asked about the word brainwashing.

Tian Meng continued, "Or maybe there's another trick from the old man, which seems to be called a master-servant contract. With your current mental strength, you can force others to sign it, and they won't be able to disobey you."

Huo Yuhao still refused: "I don't like this method, so try not to use it."

"What a pity……"

When Tianmeng was feeling regretful, Bingdi suddenly remembered something and asked, "Tianmeng, once your mental power reaches a certain level, you don't have to stick to the restrictions of skills and can use it at will, right?"

Tian Meng nodded and said, "That's right."

"Then why didn't you just use your mental power to control a few ten-thousand-year soul beasts? It would be enough to protect yourself whether in the Far North or anywhere else."

Tian Meng stopped talking and fell into silence.

I don’t know whether she didn’t think of it at the beginning, or whether brainwashing is actually of limited effect and can only play the greatest effect in an organization like the Holy Spirit Church.

Huo Yuhao was not very willing to try to brainwash others. Perhaps in the eyes of a spiritual master like him, the spirit and soul represented life and existence more than the body.

Forcibly distorting other people's cognition and personality is no different from erasing others and depriving them of their lives.

Perhaps in the eyes of some people, mental suggestion is a form of brainwashing, and Huo Yuhao only stopped there. Even the master-servant contract that Alex taught him, he has only used it a few times so far, and after using it, he no longer asks about the other party's life and choices, and he will cancel it automatically when he thinks about it later.

These are indeed practical and powerful methods, but Huo Yuhao really doesn't like to use them. In this regard, he shows a strange stubbornness.

Perhaps there will be a situation in the future where these two skills are suitable for use, but for now he would not consider trying them.

Jing Hongchen naturally could not hear the conversation in Huo Yuhao’s mind. He could only see Huo Yuhao in a daze.

Seeing this, Jing Hongchen continued to read the documents, thinking about the next affairs of Mingdetang and the cabinet.

His work focus has been completely placed on the cabinet, but the work and research of Mingde Hall also need to be managed, and the teaching of Sun and Moon Academy cannot be ignored.

Jing Hongchen was considering whether to let Xiao Hongchen take over his job in advance and learn how to manage Mingde Hall. But even though he was his grandson, Xiao Hongchen, who was only a sixth-level soul mentor, could not convince the public at all.

Some people may disagree with this. What's the big deal? Is there anyone who dares to ignore Jing Hongchen and say something bad about Xiao Hongchen?

If it were in the world of soul masters, this would be true.

If the younger ones cannot convince the others, they can just call the older ones. If the others cannot beat the older ones, they can only listen to the younger ones.

But this is the world of soul mentors.

If something goes wrong with the soul guide research, Mingde Hall might really explode...

Jing Hongchen himself is a ninth-level soul engineer, and he knows very well what trouble will arise if an unqualified person is in charge of Mingde Hall.

If Xiao Hongchen, a young man, were to be the boss, he probably wouldn't even be able to notice that all the soul guides and rare metals in the warehouse had been resold by an insider.

After checking, the subordinates reported that the experiment failed and all were destroyed. Maybe Xiao Hongchen would even comfort the other party that he was fine.

Thinking of this, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but laugh.

It is not easy to be the leader of Mingde Hall. In addition to cultivation, Xiao Hongchen has a lot to learn.

Logically speaking, Jing Hongchen holds all the power, and the Hongchen brothers and sisters are naturally in high spirits, but Jing Hongchen can't find a suitable position for them for a while.

Although Xiao Meng and his two disciples' cultivation was impressive, they were ultimately not as good as the old masters in the palace, so they had no choice but to continue to work hard in Mingde Hall and strive for an early breakthrough. Although they were young and had little experience, it was also their greatest asset.

As long as the brother and sister successfully break through to the ninth-level soul master, it will not be a problem for the Hongchen family to prosper for another hundred years.

While he was thinking, a man walked into the hall and said respectfully, "Master Prime Minister, there is news from Mingdou Academy. Xingluo and Tianhun both want to come for inspection."

Jing Hongchen put down what he was holding: "Oh?"

The visitor continued, "Mingdou Academy has been built, and the main part of Mingdou City has also been completed. Many forces and chambers of commerce in both countries want to move in. The Xingluo royal family is expected to visit next week, and I hope to meet with Ambassador Sun and Moon."

Jing Hongchen looked at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao’s thoughts returned to reality from the sea of ​​​​spiritual space and he nodded: “Got it. I will go to receive you.”
