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

Chapter 720 I will solve your martial soul problem first.
At this moment, the guards were shocked, and their eyes all fell on Huo Yuhao.

After all, among everyone present, only this person was dressed in black robes, clearly the black-robed man who defeated Elder Liu, as mentioned by the Duke.

They all took out soul-guided cannons from their storage rings, aimed their dark muzzles at Huo Yuhao, and poured their soul power into the cannons, causing various colors of light to condense at the muzzles.

The hands of everyone gripping the soul-guided cannon trembled slightly.

After all, aiming the soul-guided cannon at a powerful figure who could crush Elder Liu was undoubtedly courting death. However, in order to repay the Duke's kindness, they could not back down at this moment and had to stand up.

Even at the cost of our lives, we must cover the Duke's retreat!

The captain of the guards said sternly, "Your Grace, let's go! Leave this place to us!"

Upon hearing this, tears welled up in Dai Luoli's eyes, but he had no intention of retreating. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "Stop! Don't point the soul-guided cannons at the senior. With your strength, even if you fire, you won't be able to hurt a single hair on his head."

Hearing this, the guards hesitated, but still put down their soul-guided cannons. After all, Dai Luoli was the White Tiger Duke, and in principle, they, as guards, had to obey Dai Luoli's orders.

Huo Yuhao deliberately said, "Dai Luoli, aren't you afraid that I'll suddenly attack and kill you? The strongest people in the Duke's mansion have already lost their ability to resist. You are nothing but chickens and dogs in front of me."

“Senior is joking. With your strength, you could have easily killed everyone present quickly. The fact that you didn’t choose to kill them immediately means there’s still room for maneuver. I’m starting to think that what you said before might actually be true,” Dai Luoli calmly analyzed.

Previously, as an illegitimate child with poor talent, he had suffered a lot of disdain from Dai Yueheng, Dai Huabin, and even the Duchess, so he lacked confidence and was naturally unable to calmly analyze the situation at such a critical moment.

Having experienced many things and become the current Duke of White Tiger, he has matured considerably and his mental fortitude has improved.

Huo Yuhao waved his hand and said softly, "That's right, of course I won't kill you. You and the others can come down."

The guards, hovering in mid-air on their flying soul tools, hesitated and looked at Dai Luoli.

Dai Luoli said calmly, "Didn't you hear what the senior said? Everyone should stay in the backyard!"

"Yes!" the guards replied in unison.

Soon, everyone fell from mid-air.

As for Old Liu, although he was unable to move, under Huo Yuhao's soul power control, the ice sculpture Old Liu successfully landed on the ground in the backyard. However, the extreme cold still lingered, and if anyone got too close, they would feel a chill that seemed to penetrate to the bone.

Of course, although Liu Lao's soul power and mental power were suppressed and his body could not move, his consciousness still existed, and he could hear the sounds of the outside world and see the scenes outside.

Huo Yuhao's gaze swept over the guards, and a mental attack arrived in an instant. Of course, it was not a soul skill, but an attack method that condensed and released mental power. The reason for not using a soul skill was mainly because these guards were too weak. If he used a soul skill, he would really kill them.

The attack method of projecting and condensing spiritual power can be controlled with extremely precise power. In an instant, the guards felt a dizzying sensation as if the world was spinning, and then everything went black as they all fell to the ground.

Bang bang bang!
Dull sounds echoed in the backyard. Fortunately, the physical abilities of Soul Masters far surpassed those of ordinary people, so the guards were not injured, but simply closed their eyes and fell into a coma.

"Senior, what did you do to them?" Dai Luoli's expression changed slightly. "Nothing much, I just put them into a temporary coma. They're fine and will wake up soon. We can't let these guards know what we're going to talk about next," Huo Yuhao explained patiently to Dai Luoli.

Upon hearing this, Dai Luoli's expression softened considerably.

Huo Yuhao continued, "Dai Luoli, you may still be wary of me, which I understand. After all, I only demonstrated my strength and didn't explain some details, so it's not enough to gain your trust. In fact, your brother Huo Yuhao told me some things."

As he spoke, he began to recount some of Huo Yun'er's observations, experiences, and feelings during his time at the White Tiger Duke's mansion, as well as the rescue that Dai Luoli's mother had provided to Huo Yun'er and her son, in order to gain Dai Luoli's trust.

After a moment, Dai Luoli believed Huo Yuhao's words. After all, some of the details in his words were too real. He was somewhat moved: "So my brother asked you, senior, to help me become stronger in order to repay a debt of gratitude."

"Alright, I've explained everything I needed to. Next, I'll make you stronger. For a Soul Master, the importance of a Martial Soul is self-evident, so I'll address your Martial Soul issue first."

“Martial Soul.” Dai Luoli smiled bitterly. “My Martial Soul has undergone a malignant mutation, and there is simply no way to solve this problem.”

"This problem isn't difficult to solve. All I need to do is let your martial soul awaken a second time. However, you have to leave the Duke's mansion with me and come back after some time," Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice.

"What about the Duke's mansion?" Dai Luoli asked with some concern.

"Isn't he here at the Duke's mansion?" Huo Yuhao glanced at Old Liu, who was frozen in place. "I'll restore him to his original state, and he'll handle the problem of you not being at the Duke's mansion."

Upon hearing this, Dai Luoli hesitated for a moment, but eventually nodded in agreement. As a son born out of wedlock, he knew very well that he had to show respect to the powerful who could control his life.

Soon, Huo Yuhao released Liu Lao from his ice sculpture state and, using spatial magic, tore open a spatial rift, taking Dai Luoli away and leaving Liu Lao in a disheveled state in the courtyard.

"Tearing open a spatial rift to take someone away? Could this person be a Limit Douluo?" Old Liu looked at the gradually healing spatial rift, anxious but helpless.

After all, a Limit Douluo was simply not someone he could contend with. For the sake of the Duke's safety, he had to keep what he had just seen and heard to himself.

After the guards woke up, Old Liu had no choice but to bite the bullet and lie, saying that the mysterious man in black robes was actually an elder of the former White Tiger Duke Dai Hao, but that he had a somewhat eccentric personality, which was why he caused a series of disputes.

The mysterious man in black robes is currently in seclusion with the current Duke, which is why the two have disappeared.

The guards naturally believed Elder Liu's words. After all, Elder Liu had watched the former White Tiger Duke Dai Hao grow up. Although Elder Liu often went into seclusion to cultivate, he would sometimes come out to guide everyone.

Therefore, Old Liu actually held considerable prestige within the White Tiger Duke's mansion.

Twelve days later, in the study of the White Tiger Duke's mansion, Huo Yuhao led Dai Luoli out through a spatial rift that appeared.

Compared to twelve days ago, Dai Luoli at this moment has undergone a complete transformation.
