Transmigrating into Huo Yuhao, my abilities are refreshed every month.

In recent years, the Dai family has gradually recovered and begun to show its true colors. This is why the previous Xingluo Emperor married his daughter to Dai Hao.

Xu Jiawei's expression shifted repeatedly. After a long silence, he sighed, shook his head, and said:

"Aunt, the person who directly antagonizes Huo Yuhao is from the Xu family, specifically my sister. I can't be as ruthless as the Dai family. Is there any way to resolve that young man's hatred for my sister?"

“I don’t ask for much. As long as my sister can live, I’ll let him decide on the rest of the punishment. Besides, given the current situation, the Empire cannot afford to lose the entire Dai family. If that young man is willing, he can be the new White Tiger Duke, and our royal family is willing to support him. As for Dai Hao and Dai Huabin, let him deal with them as he sees fit.”

The woman shook her head; she knew that Huo Yuhao's hatred would never let the Duchess go.

Xu Jiawei frowned and pondered for a moment, then raised his head, his voice becoming distant and resonant.

"As far as I know, both of Dai Hao's sons are at Shrek Academy, right?"

"Yes."

"Find a way to cripple them, dead or alive. Then, tell Dai Hao about Huo Yuhao's situation, try to cause conflict between them. When the time comes, have your sister come to apologize on behalf of the Xu family."

"Yes." Seeing that Xu Jiawei had made a decision, the woman slowly retreated and disappeared into the darkness.

This emperor did not value family ties as much as he claimed.

What he wanted to protect was not his sister, but the royal family's years of planning and infiltration of the White Tiger Duke's mansion.

They wanted to weaken the Dai family and regain military power, but they absolutely did not want the Dai family to perish. Therefore, Huo Yuhao could retaliate against Dai Hao, Dai Huabin, and the Duchess, but he could not annihilate the entire Dai family.

His subsequent decision was to use the deaths of Dai Huabin and Dai Yueheng to incite Dai Hao's hostility towards Huo Yuhao, making the two irreconcilable enemies, and then use Huo Yuhao as a tool to kill Duke Baihu.

If he were to win over Huo Yuhao by paying the price of becoming the Duchess, he could even use that power to completely control the Dai family.

Huo Yuhao was unaware that someone in Xingluo City, thousands of miles away, was plotting against him. At this moment, he had already blended into the environment and used simulation to conceal his figure.

The mental detection was set to maximum, encompassing the traces of Zhu Lu, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and other familiar people within its detection range.

Wang Dong and her group did not depart at the same time as Zhu Lu; they split into two groups.

Before long, Huo Yuhao's gaze sharpened as he detected three somewhat unusual individuals through his mental detection.

Two of the groups were likely from Dai Huabin's side, and they attacked Wang Dong and Zhu Lu's groups respectively.

As for the other group, Huo Yuhao was a little unsure, because they were actually targeting Dai Huabin.

Was Dai Huabin afraid that things would be exposed, so he staged the attack to clear his name?

He's actually quite intelligent.

Chapter 403 Attack

"Is everything ready, Mr. Zhang?"

Dai Huabin's pupils gleamed coldly as he stared at the old man before him, his eyes filled with unyielding resentment and hatred, as well as a sense of exhilaration at finally getting revenge.

The old man's face was full of worry. "Young Master, everything is ready. But, do you really want to do this? What if Shrek Academy finds out—"

"Wouldn't it be fine if we just didn't let the academy know?"

A cold glint flashed in Dai Huabin's eyes. "My Dai family has raised them to where they are today. It's time for them to be loyal to the Dai family."

"Yes, this old servant understands." The old man's expression also turned cold, and the coldness gradually faded away.

Dai Huabin stared at the dim evening sky and muttered hatefully, "Huo Yuhao, today is just the beginning. I will make you watch helplessly as the people around you die one by one because of you."

His eyes gleamed with a cold light, filled with murderous intent.

However, as the old saying goes, a barking dog doesn't bite. When his killing intent was concentrated and unyielding, the real killing intent had already descended upon him.

Under the cover of darkness, a figure, like a phantom, suddenly lunged at him with lightning speed.

Dai Huabin's expression froze abruptly. He felt his dantian being pierced by a single blow, and his soul power rapidly dissipated. He looked back in disbelief.

However, in the darkness of night, he only saw a figure disappear into the distance, and as his soul power dissipated, his eyes gradually dimmed.

"Who is it?"

Dai Huabin said, slowly and deliberately, that he had been crippled, but he didn't even know who his enemy was.

Previously, he would be secretly protected by people from the Duke's mansion, but now he has sent all of them out.

"It must be Huo Yuhao, it must be him!"

Dai Huabin's voice was as venomous as if it came from the abyss, filled with hatred for Huo Yuhao.

In his view, even if it wasn't Huo Yuhao who attacked him, he should still blame Huo Yuhao for his hatred.

If it weren't for Huo Yuhao, how could he possibly be without anyone protecting him?

A kilometer away, Huo Yuhao saw this scene through his mental detection and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

It turns out that Dai Huabin wasn't the one orchestrating all of this; a third party has intervened today.

This is really interesting.

While keeping an eye on the person who attacked Dai Huabin during his mental scan, Huo Yuhao teleported to Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's side.

The two were pleasantly surprised to see Huo Yuhao.

Wang Dong pouted, "Didn't you say you had something to do tonight and weren't coming with us? Why are you here now? Oh well, since you're already here, just come with us."

Huo Yuhao smiled, looking at the twilight behind them, and said softly:

"Look, didn't I tell you what happened?"

"What?" Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao turned around and saw six men in black rushing towards them. Just as they were about to get close, the six men activated their martial spirits, and their speed increased even more.

Those six people were actually one Soul Emperor and five Soul Kings.

There was no panic in Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's eyes. Huo Yuhao was right beside them, so they had nothing to be afraid of.

Thinking about Huo Yuhao's unusual behavior today, the two looked at the others thoughtfully.

Huo Yuhao appeared in front of the two in an instant, and the six people seemed to only then notice him, abruptly stopping in their tracks.

He gave the six men no chance to escape or commit suicide. He directly used his mental energy to condense small hammers and smashed them down one by one. In an instant, the six men fell down and lost consciousness.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao had finished dealing with the situation, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao came over. Xiao Xiao asked, "Class monitor, who sent them?"

Huo Yuhao turned around and ruffled the girl's hair, saying, "Dai Huabin."

"Is the class monitor about to make a move against Dai Huabin?" Xiao Xiao asked.

Huo Yuhao looked at Xiao Xiao, surprised by the girl's keen insight.

He nodded. "It's time to settle our score with Dai Huabin."

Wang Dong reached out her soft hand and took Huo Yuhao's hand, whispering, "Is there anything we can do to help you?"

Huo Yuhao said, "Wait here for a moment. Sister Ruoruo and Sister Xiaotao will be here soon. You can hand these people over to them."

"it is good."

After giving his instructions, Huo Yuhao teleported away and headed towards Zhu Lu's location.

Incidentally, he glanced at the assassin who was still within the detection range and discovered that the man had made several turns and arrived at a sparsely populated area.

Immediately afterwards, the man collapsed, bleeding from all seven orifices.

"An assassin?" Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes.

Not long after that man died, an old man appeared. He took out a packet of medicine and sprinkled it on the assassin. The assassin's body and clothes all dissolved and disappeared without a trace.

The old man slowly walked to the east gate of Shrek City.

At this time, the city gate was bustling with people and carriages, showing no signs of the desolation of the night.

Tonight is, after all, Shrek Academy's annual Treasure Hunt, a grand event not only for students but also for businessmen.

The old man walked calmly by the roadside, trembling as if he would fall over with a gust of wind.

As a carriage passed by him, he suddenly collapsed, landing under the horse's hooves and wheels.

"Dead, dead!"

Panic-stricken cries rang out in the night.

"They really handled the clues perfectly." Huo Yuhao looked at the scene with some admiration.

The trail of who attacked Dai Huabin was thus abruptly cut off by an unexpected event.

However, this had no effect on him. Perhaps the person who planned this had also included him in their schemes, but it didn't matter. His purpose had always been clear and would not change because of other people's plans.

He had already arrived beside Zhu Lu, but did not reveal himself immediately.

Zhu Lu and her best friend Cui Yajie strolled leisurely along the road, their pretty faces adorned with relaxed smiles.

"Lulu, you've changed? Did something good happen?" Cui Yajie looked at her best friend curiously.

Since the start of the semester, she had never seen Zhu Lu as relaxed and happy as she was today.

Zhu Lu nodded, then shook her head. "I'll tell you later."

A sly glint flashed in Cui Yajie's eyes. She leaned close to Zhu Lu's ear, her breath brushing against her face, and whispered:

"Tell me quickly, is it related to Huo Yuhao?"

"How...how did you know?" Zhu Lu covered her mouth in surprise.
