Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 42 "What does it mean that the Marquis's Mansion has stood up?" (Please continue reading)
Gotham City is known as Little Xilu City.

This place is truly blessed with talented people and abundant martial spirit.

Huo Yuhao finally found a relatively quiet inn. As soon as he entered, he saw the innkeeper wiping the blood off his broadsword.

Based on Huo Yuhao's research on soul tools during this period, that knife is definitely a level three soul tool.

According to Huo Yuhao's perception, the owner of this inn was a Soul Master.

Looking at the boss, whose face was full of scars, whose body was tall and muscular, and who looked like he had run out of the Water Margin movie set, he understood why this neighborhood was so quiet.

The reason is that the boss killed all the troublemakers around them.

Seeing Huo Yuhao standing there in a daze, the shopkeeper quickly put the knife he was holding under the counter, forced a smile onto his rugged face, and said:

"Oh, guest, are you here to stay?"

Then he got up to greet Huo Yuhao, and when he heard that Huo Yuhao wanted to stay in the best room, his smile became even brighter.

"Guest, you have excellent taste! My inn is definitely the safest in these areas!"

"Even if you go out and encounter any trouble, just give me your name. My name, 'King of the Great Swords and Axes,' still carries some weight in these streets."

Huo Yuhao, looking utterly exasperated, entered the guest room accompanied by his boss.

After closing the door, I had just sat cross-legged on the bed for a while when I saw the boss walking north with a knife through the guest room window. He looked like he was going to kill someone.

Xilu City is too far from heaven and too close to Shrek.

Because it's close to Shrek Academy, there are a large number of Soul Masters here.

It's the kind of place where you could throw any brick from the inn and hit several people with soul power.

Chaos, bloodshed, and violence are the main themes of this city.

This place is only a hundred miles away from Shrek City, yet it is as different as two different worlds.

I learned from some customers in Xuanfeng City that Shrek City is very orderly, with law enforcement teams patrolling the streets every day. Anyone who wants to cause trouble should think twice about their strength.

Meanwhile, a small town a hundred miles away from Shrek City suddenly transforms into Gotham City.

Huo Yuhao shook his head, drew the curtains, sealed the room with his mental power, walked to the bathroom, sat in the bathtub, and prepared to take the drug.

"Come, let me see your strength."

"Mystic Water Pill, Soul Ascension Pill, Mystic Tortoise Divine Pill!"

Huo Yuhao immediately swallowed a Xuan Shui Pill and instantly felt that familiar cool energy flow through his internal organs once again.

Every cell in the body is joyful and actively expelling impurities.

Soon, a thin layer of black substance appeared on Huo Yuhao's body, much less than when he first took the Xuan Shui Pill.

It's estimated that after the third Xuan Shui Pill is consumed, it will be of little use.

For the next month, Huo Yuhao's daily routine consisted of taking pills, meditating to digest their effects, and then taking more pills.

Of course, some trivial things were also done during this time.

For example, when he was out shopping, a middle-aged woman in tattered clothes suddenly threw a little girl next to her next to Huo Yuhao.

He turned and slipped away amidst Huo Yuhao's bewildered gaze.

Looking at the thin girl next to him, Huo Yuhao took her out for a meal and found out what was going on.

Watching the girl wolf down her food, Huo Yuhao was a little scared. People who have been starving for a long time cannot suddenly binge eat.

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to take the food back, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in the Sea of ​​Spirit spoke up.

He said the little girl had the blood of the Taotie.

Huo Yuhao was immediately shocked. He only knew that Xuanzi had this thing, but there was someone else here who actually possessed it.

Huo Yuhao then used his mental power to scan the record, and relevant information appeared in the record book.

"Taotie Spirit Sheep: An extinct soul beast that once existed in the July Fire Plains. It possesses the bloodline of Taotie and is a super soul beast."

"Because of constant hunger, they liked to hunt and kill any living creature that could move. In extreme cases, they would even eat themselves. In the end, they were wiped out by a group of soul beasts from the July Fire Plains."

After seeing the information in the catalog, Huo Yuhao gently held the girl's hand and then sensed her soul power.

He possessed innate level six soul power, suffered from severe malnutrition, and was so thin that he couldn't even unlock his martial soul, much like Huo Yuhao at the beginning.

However, since it has the bloodline of the Taotie, there is no need to worry about the other party overeating.

It wasn't until the girl finished eating that she learned what had happened.

The girl has no surname, only the name Sui. She is from the Star Luo Empire and lives in Fara Village, but no one knows exactly where she lives.

The village was massacred by a gang of bandits, and all the children were sold off.

After a group of human traffickers take them in, they awaken their martial spirits and then set a price for them.

She doesn't have a martial spirit, but her soul power is at level six.

The human traffickers didn't care about that; they planned to sell her at a high price to a nobleman in Xilu City.

Huo Yuhao was puzzled. Why would that woman throw her at him? Before she could answer, Huo Yuhao understood the truth.

Suddenly, his mental energy sensed that the middle-aged woman was leading a group of people frantically searching for someone on the street.

They would stop anyone they encountered and then ask middle-aged women to identify their faces.

Damn it, these human traffickers are using humanoid creatures without families as their contacts.

To be treated as one of his own by these beasts is an immense humiliation to his personal dignity.

Huo Yuhao was truly furious; even breathing the same air as these inhuman creatures made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

So Huo Yuhao led the group to a deserted alley and used an illusion technique to investigate, uncovering all their secrets.

Following the group's memory, all four human trafficking dens in Xilu City were eradicated.

Based on the information about their hideout, we then found their backers—two marquises from the Heavenly Soul Empire.

One of the marquises was out for a stroll when Huo Yuhao used illusion magic to control him, then made him strip naked, cut off his own penis and put it in his mouth, and finally hanged himself on the city gate.

Another marquis, after seeing his companion die, realized something was wrong and spent all his time in his mansion.

There were five Soul Masters, two Soul Kings, and one Soul Emperor guarding the area.

Moreover, it is extremely close to the city lord's mansion.

The city lord of Xilu City is a Soul Saint, and there are three other Soul Saints in his mansion, making it the safest place in the entire Xilu City.

Huo Yuhao did not deal with him for the time being, but instead used illusion magic to directly unify the underground forces of Xilu City.

Most of those who want to rebel are unable to distinguish between the king and the queen; once they are burned by Amaterasu, their voices of opposition cease.

From then on, Huo Yuhao conquered the entire underground forces of Xilu City in just one week.

A brand new organization was established – Passion.

Then a series of orders were issued.

"Prohibited from sale and prostitution."

The sale of addictive drugs is prohibited.

Human trafficking is prohibited.

Robbery is prohibited.
To establish orphanages and adopt children.

Establish schools to strengthen education.

Fighting within the organization is prohibited.

Protect merchants who are willing to pay a protection fee of three gold soul coins per quarter will be provided with shelter, but the merchants must not violate the other rules.

............"

Then Huo Yuhao branded all the senior members of the Passionate Group with a mental mark. If they disobeyed orders, the mark would directly erase their personality.

Sui and other trafficked children were left in the organization's orphanage and then trained as enthusiastic reserve members.

Huo Yuhao consumed the Xuanwu Divine Pill at the Passion Headquarters and instantly reached level 20 in soul power.

Then, using his divine power, he traveled alone to the location of the last marquis.

Looking at the magnificent mansion before him, he used his spiritual power to detect that the other party was fast asleep.

Huo Yuhao placed his hand on the jade wall, and then his million-year golden soul ring shone.

The spirit imbues the soul skill into activation, and then coldly says:
"This is a parting gift."

The colossal mansion before them suddenly came to life; the beams swayed, the jade pillars twisted, and the entire earth rose.

Until a bizarre giant with a head made of a mansion and a body made of jade stood in the city of Xilu.

The enthusiastic members had already received news of Huo Yuhao and began to comfort the frightened civilians and evacuate the crowd.

The mansion on the eerie giant's head began to change; the marquis, who was fast asleep inside, was impaled by countless stone pillars and died instantly.

His guards, who were so powerful they had never seen anything like this before, had already run away.

Those who were weaker were simply buried with him.

Meanwhile, in the nearby City Lord's Mansion, City Lord Lu Xinjin was fast asleep. Hearing the earthquake, he was about to get up to see what was going on.

Then a staff member stumbled over, looking anxious, and said:
"Something terrible has happened, Lord City Lord!!"

Lu Xinjin's heart sank and he hurriedly said, "The beast tide has broken out?!"

The aide quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, it's the Marquis's mansion next door, it, it's stood up!!!"

Lu Xinjin: "?"

"Are you awake?"

　He sticks out his butt, thanking everyone for the monthly tickets! OzR
