Douluo Continent: Transmigrating to the Star Palace of Yuhao

Chapter 207 Invitation to Watch the Game

The terrifying offer of 150 million gold soul coins ultimately stopped rising. Such an astronomical figure would be an absolutely painful financial overdraft for any power. Apart from the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire, which could guarantee a stable and huge income from high-quality soul tools, other powers would not be able to recover from such a large sum of money at once for more than half a year.

"They were all intimidated by me!" In VIP room number two, Xiao Hongchen sneered, then turned to Elder Ma and said, "Elder Ma, this treasure is an absolute hot potato. The Starlight Auction House can guarantee our safety during the handover. But after the transaction, other forces will definitely be eyeing us covetously, secretly lying in ambush. So at that time, please return to the academy immediately and hand it over to my grandfather. Once it's inside Mingde Hall, let's see who dares to covet it!"

Old Master Ma nodded. "That's exactly right. We should still keep a low profile as much as possible. An item worth hundreds of millions is extremely rare in the history of the entire continent. I will return it through Mingde Hall's secret channels in Xingluo City."

VIP Room One.

As Xu Jiawei listened to one piece of news after another, the smile on his face grew even wider.

"One hundred and fifty million. Master Jing Hongchen, I hope you like the gift I have given you." With that, he slowly stood up, and the light guide screen in front of him suddenly broke in the middle and slid to both sides. Xu Jiawei's figure disappeared in this suddenly appearing secret passage.

Similar to VIP Room Number One, each VIP room had a secret passage. All VIPs participating in the auction were able to leave secretly, and Shrek Academy was no exception.

The twelve fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells were handed to Huo Yuhao. Wang Yan specifically instructed him not to use them during the competition, and then the group quietly returned to the Star Emperor Hotel.

Back in the room, given Wang Dong'er's previous situation, Huo Yuhao temporarily gave her the right to use the room. After coaxing the little girl to sleep, Huo Yuhao, with a tempting look, took out twelve fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells and used mental detection to try to reconstruct their internal structure into blueprints.

This ordeal lasted all night, and Huo Yuhao barely managed to recreate the blueprints for three of the fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shells.

White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

Fan Zhixie remained silent with a deep frown. He sat in the tea chair and watched Dai Hao pacing back and forth in the courtyard. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Last night, three more direct descendants of the White Tiger clan died in the White Tiger Duke's mansion, and despite mobilizing all available resources within the mansion to search, they found absolutely no clues.

Aside from knowing for certain that the other party was an evil spirit master, they knew nothing else. This made Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger, who had been back from the military camp for a long time, increasingly uneasy. Recalling the guess that Fan Zhijie had told him before, Dai Hao couldn't help but feel conflicted.

He sighed, his brow furrowed as he looked towards Dai Huabin's courtyard. He raised his hand and said, "Someone! Send another patrol to protect Huabin and his wife."

The White Tiger Guard standing guard outside the courtyard immediately knelt on one knee and said, "We will obey Your Highness's orders!"

After saying this, the guard turned and quickly left to make arrangements according to Dai Hao's instructions.

Dai Hao gazed into the direction where the guard had departed, his unease unabated. He was beginning to see a high probability in the conjecture Fan Zhixie had shared with him. He was well aware of some of the habits of evil soul masters during their cultivation.

Based on the fact that the majority of the people who have died or gone missing in recent days are those with the White Tiger bloodline, Dai Hao knew that if the other party was indeed Dai Yueheng, then Dai Huabin and himself would be targets he would absolutely not let go of.

For evil spirit masters, the blood of their closest relatives is often an excellent supplement for cultivation. Since Dai Hao's strength is still sufficient to protect himself, his opponent will undoubtedly target someone who is easy to kill. Therefore, Dai Huabin, whose strength is only at the Soul Venerable level, is the most likely candidate.

"Uncle Fan, I would like to ask you to come along and protect Hua Bin as well." Dai Hao looked at Fan Zhixie with a serious expression, and there was a strange meaning in his eyes.

Fan Zhixie paused for a moment, then nodded slightly and agreed, "I understand. Be careful from now on."

.

"Report!"

Just as the two had made their decision, another White Tiger Guard came running quickly from outside the courtyard, knelt on one knee in front of Dai Hao, and presented him with a bright yellow letter held up in both hands.

"The Imperial Guards have delivered His Majesty's private letter!"

Dai Hao was taken aback and quickly asked, "Where are the Imperial Guards?"

"The palace guards are having tea in the reception room."

"I understand. Go back and tell them I'll come over after I change my clothes."

"yes!"

After the guards left, Fan Zhixie asked, "Does His Majesty know about what's been happening in the palace lately?"

As Dai Hao unfolded the letter, he read it and said, "He definitely knows something. We haven't touched the spies we've planted in the mansion, so he's naturally aware of that. But..."

"What's wrong?" Fan Zhixie asked, noticing that Dai Hao's expression had suddenly become serious.

"His Majesty has invited me to watch today's match..."

Dai Hao turned to look at Fan Zhi seriously and said, "Uncle Fan, you know things are tense lately, so I definitely have to accept this invitation. Please take good care of me while I'm away."

Fan Zhixie nodded and said, "What are you saying? This is my duty! Go quickly! Don't let him become suspicious again."

"Okay, I'll go then." Dai Hao cupped his hands in a respectful greeting and turned to head towards the reception room.

Early morning, sunny day, Xingluo Square.

After breakfast, standing at the window in the corridor, you can see a huge crowd of people in the distance.

The round of 16 to 8 will consist of four matches per day, spanning four days. Unsurprisingly, Shrek Academy, the reigning champions, will be the first to take the stage. Their opponent, the Royal Academy of Spirit Fighting, is a formidable team boasting five Soul Kings.

Wang Dong'er followed behind Huo Yuhao, and the others also came out of their respective rooms at this time, gathered together, and walked out of the hotel.

Coincidentally, just as they reached the stairwell, the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy also emerged from their room. However, unlike Shrek Academy, they came out of a conference room.

The teacher leading the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team was another elderly man besides Elder Ma. He nodded slightly to Wang Yan, who returned the gesture. Meng Hongchen, whose face was slightly flushed, winked at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded helplessly amidst the angry and cold stares of the surrounding women.

Xiao Hongchen spotted Huo Yuhao immediately, and naturally thought of his younger sister. Turning back to look at Meng Hongchen, he nearly choked on his own breath. "Meng! He's surrounded by a bunch of women! Do you intend to be the fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh among them?"
