Douluo: Me! Huo Yuhao, Holy Son of Wuhun Palace.

Sun and Moon Continent

Tulip Town, Spirit Tower Hall.

"Are they from the Lieyang Royal Family?" Huo Yuhao glanced at the man in the white robe with brown skin and asked Peris next to him.

"His Highness Xu Ming of the Lieyang Empire came here this time to ask the Spirit Pagoda for the position of deputy tower master." Peris said.

"Your Majesty Peris, what do you mean by 'ask for it'?" Xu Ming's tone revealed a strong sense of hostility.

He turned to look at Huo Yuhao, his eyes revealing undisguised doubt.

"Is this Master Huo who founded the Spirit Transmission Tower?" Xu Ming's tone was filled with ridicule.

"In that case, let Lord Hota make the decision."

"Since the Spirit Transferring Tower is a spirit master organization under the Lieyang Empire, is it okay for us to concurrently serve as the deputy tower master?"

Their royal family launched a military operation against Tulip Territory, but the rumored tower master never showed up.

It is speculated that the so-called Tower Master's retreat was just a cover, and Huo Yuhao should have left the Sun Moon Continent long ago.

The "Lord Hota" in front of them was obviously someone hired by Peris to impersonate him, with the purpose of intimidating them into giving up.

"There's nothing wrong with it." Huo Yuhao said calmly.

"Oh? I didn't expect Lord Hota to be so considerate." Xu Ming was obviously also pleasantly surprised, and looked at Peris with a mocking look.

Since you asked someone to impersonate you, you must be responsible for what you said.

The position of deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda is reserved for me!

“Who is in power in the Fiery Sun Empire now?” Huo Yuhao looked at Peris next to him.

"Currently, Emperor Lieyang is still in power, and His Highness Xu Jing is assisting in the administration." Peris said respectfully.

“Tell Emperor Lieyang that it’s time for him to abdicate and let Xu Jing come to see me.” Huo Yuhao said calmly.

"How dare you disrespect my father!" Xu Ming was so angry that he jumped to his feet.

Huo Yuhao glared coldly.

Xu Ming suddenly felt as if he was being stared at by the god of death. His whole body was engulfed by the evil spirit. He froze in place, his pupils trembling, and his body unable to move.

Upon seeing this, the two Seven-Ring Soul Saints who were ordered to protect Xu Ming immediately wanted to attack Huo Yuhao.

However, before they took that step, they suddenly felt a chill in their bodies, and they both knelt down in front of the black bricks in the hall, and the floor tiles were cracked.

At this moment, they were hunched over in fear, their teeth chattering.

“Tell Xu Jing that if he wants to take power from the Spirit Pagoda, he must exchange it for the throne!” Huo Yuhao’s cold voice echoed in the hall.

The audience was silent.

"Why don't you get out of here?!" Peris shouted coldly.

The two waiters immediately grabbed Xu Ming's armpits and hurried out of the hall.

……

Peris personally led the way, taking Huo Yuhao and the others to climb up the side stairs and reach the top floor attic.

The whole loft has a quiet environment, paved with precious fragrant woods and decorated with rare green plants, and the faint wood fragrance it exudes is refreshing.

"We have been waiting for the master's return." Peris led Huo Yuhao and others into the attic.

Huo Yuhao sat in the main seat, Xue Di and the others sat beside him, and Peris was waiting at the side.

"How's the situation lately?"

"The Lieyang Royal Family discovered that the soul masters of the Soul Transferring Tower have a strong cohesiveness and have mastered the technology to develop soul guides that far exceeds that of the present era. They are very wary of them." Peris said.

"In the first three months after the tower master left, they were able to hold back. After that, they made some probing moves, but the Spirit Pagoda tolerated them all."

"Until half a year ago, the Lieyang Royal Family ordered a search of the Tulip Territory on the pretext that the princess was missing. Their purpose was to search for the Spirit Pagoda."

"The Lieyang Royal Family sent out three teams equipped with soul guides to search the Spirit Pagoda and Tulip Castle with a tough attitude. The result..." Peris paused when he said this.

“As a result, the Earth-fixing Soul Guide Array was triggered, and the three level seven soul guide cannons were passively defended?” Huo Yuhao’s tone revealed a hint of smile.

Perris nodded.

"At that time, one shot destroyed three soul guide groups, and the other two shots... could not be stopped after they were triggered."

"Those soul guide cannons are only a temporary deterrent. Later, they will focus on this force and may even guess that the tower master is not in the Spirit Transmission Tower."

“Later, the Lieyang Royal Family’s attempts became more frequent, but they no longer dared to use force to deter. They mainly used force, coercion and inducement to curb the input of scarce metals, in order to suppress the advancement of the Soul Guides of the Soul Tower. I think their target is the high-level soul guide cannons of the Soul Tower.” Peris said.

Although he holds a powerful weapon in his hand, he cannot use it at will.

The source of the soul masters of the Spirit Transferring Tower is the Lieyang Empire.

He was annoyed by the frequent harassment and probing by the Lieyang Royal Family, but he had no good solution.

"I understand." Huo Yuhao nodded slightly.

He founded the Soul Pagoda and it is also the focus of development. The soul masters he summoned are basically spiritual masters or those with strong mental power.

Soul guides are just a sideline, but they have the most detailed soul guide technology framework.

He really went too far in being a hands-off boss. Peris has made a lot of efforts to go from not being able to speak the language to being able to communicate fluently.

Now that the Spirit Pagoda is in trouble, it is his turn to deal with it.

"What about Mingde Hall? What's the situation over there?" Huo Yuhao asked.

"Mingde Hall is now completely controlled by the Lieyang Empire. It is connected to the supply of metal mines and has abundant resources. The Emperor Lieyang is the honorary master of Mingde Hall." Peris said bluntly.

Huo Yuhao pondered slightly.

At this time, the maid brought hot tea on a silver tray.

Peris personally poured tea for Huo Yuhao and others.

A silver-haired head appeared above the wooden stairs, peeking its head out.

"I heard that my master is back. Is that true? Lord Peris." A crisp voice sounded from the corner of the stairs.

She was a girl with silver hair and mirror-like pupils. She was wearing a pink gauze dress and climbed to the top of the pavilion. Her skin was fair and smooth.

She was looking around at this moment, and when she saw Huo Yuhao, her eyes suddenly became bright.

"Master."

Xue Di looked up, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

……

The Fiery Sun Empire, the Imperial Palace.

At this time, the secret guards were reporting to Emperor Lieyang everything that happened in the Spirit Tower.

When Emperor Lieyang heard that “the person suspected to be Huo Yuhao” had returned, just a glance from him frightened the two Seven-Ring Souls to their knees.

The Flame Emperor's expression suddenly became solemn.

The person who came here has bad intentions! But we cannot rule out the possibility that the Spirit Pagoda hired someone to impersonate him.

He always had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

If it was really Huo Yuhao, after knowing what they had done, he would definitely rush to the Lieyang Palace to attack them immediately.

"That man also said something very disrespectful." The secret guard hesitated.

"Answer truthfully." Emperor Lieyang said coldly.

"He asked... Your Majesty to abdicate, and also said... If you want the authority of the Spirit Transmission Tower, you have to exchange the throne..." The secret guard's forehead was sweating.

Emperor Lieyang was immediately enraged and stood up suddenly.

"Okay, I want to see how he teaches me to abdicate!" Emperor Lieyang said coldly.

At this moment, a verdict as loud as thunder rang out outside the imperial palace.

"Your Majesty Lieyang, come out and die!"

When Emperor Lieyang heard this, he suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell off the throne.

-

At the same time, on the other side of the palace.

As soon as Xu Jinggang finished listening to his subordinates' reports, he immediately saw a huge shadow looming over the palace.

The evil eye tyrant dominates!

Xu Jing's legs and feet couldn't help but tremble, his face turned pale, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

It's him!

He really came back!
