Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 166 The Angry Duchess
An embarrassed look appeared on the old man's face. He said, "The difference is indeed quite large, but I don't think it should have any impact."

Your Majesty, you require these earth-drilling soul-guiding devices, surely for the construction of your mausoleum?
The Starry Sky Edition Earth-Drilling Soul Guide Device will definitely meet your needs.

Based on my testing, under the same level, this Star Luo version of the Earth-Drilling Soul Tool, which doesn't use Silver Cloud Gold, is about 30% as powerful as the Sun and Moon version.

Xu Jiawei is currently in his prime, but because he has no chance to become a god and his lifespan is limited, as an emperor, he must prepare an imperial mausoleum for himself while he is still alive.

Of course, because the Douluo Continent has a large number of Soul Masters and Soul Guidance Devices, building a mausoleum is not a wasteful or burdensome matter for the Star Luo Empire.

Xu Jiawei was taken aback for a moment, then his expression turned serious. "That's right, I need the earth-drilling soul tool for the construction of my mausoleum."

He did not reveal that he was cooperating with the Body Sect and therefore needed the earth-burrowing soul tool.

This kind of thing simply cannot be exposed; if it were, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, even now, very few people in the Star Luo Empire know that he has a cooperation with the Body Sect.

Xu Jiawei felt that his plan to let the Sun Moon Empire obtain the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo and lure the Body Sect to attack Mingde Hall was a brilliant idea.

After all, if this plan is successfully implemented, it can create conflict between the Body Sect and the Sun Moon Empire. If the Sun Moon Empire launches a war in the future, it will definitely regard the Body Sect as an enemy. In this way, the Star Luo Empire has also gained an invisible ally.

Moreover, all the researchers in Mingde Hall are talents from the Sun Moon Empire, so the Body Sect will definitely not consider their safety when it makes its move.

If the researchers suffer heavy casualties, it would mean that Mingdetang would suffer a huge blow.

As for the soul guides that Mingde Hall lost during the attack by the Body Sect, those were actually secondary losses.

Because no matter what novel soul tools Mingdetang loses, as long as the brilliant researchers are still there and there is no shortage of materials, those soul tools can actually be replicated.

"Hopefully, the Body Sect can deal a heavy blow to the Mingde Hall, which will buy the Star Luo Empire more time."

After all, the Sun Moon Empire's soul tool development speed is getting faster and faster. Xu Jiawei's mind was churning with thoughts.

"Hand over the best batch of earth-drilling soul tools. Building a mausoleum is a major undertaking, and I need to find some people who are extremely skilled in building mausoleums," Xu Jiawei said calmly.

Soon, these level eight soul masters handed over their best batch of earth-burrowing soul tools.

Xu Jiawei simply made up an excuse to leave, and then began contacting people from the Body Sect to retrieve the soul tool.

White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

in the room.

The Duchess, dressed in magnificent clothes, sat in a chair.

Standing beside her was an elderly man dressed in black with gray hair.

The old man's face was covered with wrinkles, but he exuded an aura of authority that commanded respect without anger.

This old man was a powerful expert at the Contra level and her most trusted subordinate.

Born into the Star Luo royal family, she possessed a noble status, so it was perfectly normal for her to have a protector.

However, because the titled Douluos of the Star Luo Empire all hold important positions, she can only receive protection from one Soul Douluo at most.

However, in the Duchess's view, Contra was already an extremely powerful being.

After all, she currently only possesses the strength of a Soul Emperor, a vast and insurmountable gap compared to a Soul Douluo. "Duchess, I have some information here concerning His Majesty the Duke," a man in armor kneeling before her asked.

His name was Zhao Dashan, and he was a personal guard of Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Clan.

He usually took it upon himself to protect Dai Hao's safety, and because the Duchess promised him a lot of benefits, he directly chose to side with the Duchess.

Of course, seeking refuge with the Duchess and protecting Dai Hao's safety are not actually contradictory.

Because the Duchess also asked him to pay more attention to protecting Dai Hao's safety.

For Zhao Dashan, seeking refuge with the Duchess was actually a perfectly normal thing.

Although the Duchess's reputation in the Star Luo Empire became very bad because of the Huo Yuhao incident, many people were gossiping behind her back.

Even Zhao Dashan believed that the Duchess had "killed" Huo Yun'er and that concealing Huo Yuhao's existence was unethical.

However, the Duchess is a member of the Star Luo royal family, and her status is extremely noble.

Moreover, her son, Dai Yueheng, will inevitably inherit the position of Duke of Baihu in the future, since Dai Yueheng currently has no competitors.

By siding with the Duchess now, he is essentially siding with the future White Tiger Duke, which would bring him many benefits.

Moreover, he could tell that Dai Yueheng was an ambitious person, and that Dai Yueheng might have the idea of ​​reclaiming the throne.

If Dai Yueheng were to regain the throne in the future, then this so-called personal guard would probably have a chance to gain merit for his role in the rise of the new emperor.

These past few days, Duke Baihu led some of his personal guards back to Xingluo City to rest, but he did not enter the Duke's mansion. However, he had gathered some intelligence, so he made a special trip to the Duke's mansion to report to the Duchess.

Upon hearing this, the Duchess's face darkened. Usually, Dai Hao would choose to go home once he returned to Xingluo City.

But now Dai Hao has given up on going home, as if there were some kind of monster in the Duke's mansion.

She asked impatiently, "Tell me, what exactly is the intelligence?"

Zhao Dashan glanced at the Duchess and said, "His Excellency the Duke has been taking us to repair a tomb these past few days."

We built some wooden huts around the grave for people to live in.

During this period, the Duke stated that he had no intention of returning to the Duke's residence.

According to the Duke, Huo Yun'er is buried in that grave.

When he sees the grave, he sometimes utters words of remembrance for Huo Yun'er, such as, "Yun'er, I'm so sorry, so sorry to Yuhao," and "If only I could resurrect you like Tang San resurrected Xiao Wu."
There was a click.

The Duchess crushed the teacup in her hand with a crisp sound.

Her face was extremely ugly, and her voice was shrill: "Huo Yun'er is just a little maid, how could she make Brother Hao unable to forget her for so long?"

She's been dead for so long, yet her ghost still lingers?
Moreover, her son betrayed the Star Luo Empire and chose to join the Sun Moon Empire. Without a doubt, Huo Yuhao is an enemy of the Star Luo Empire!
"Brother Hao is the White Tiger Duke of the Empire, how could he say such a thing!"

She couldn't understand why Hao Ge, who wasn't even a person but just a talking object, was still so attached to Huo Yun'er, this "maid," and was now ignoring her.

She was a princess, after all; when had she ever been treated like this?
