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

Chapter 525 Orange: "Hehe, Dai Hao, hurry up and come here."

"So you mean you unleashed your Title Douluo-level soul power outside Mingdu just to kill your own son?"

Inside the royal prison in Mingdu, Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin looked like an old man still using a cell phone, while Xu Jiujiu, who was also involved in the investigation, and Wang Yan from Shrek Academy were equally bewildered.

"Ahem, what I am about to say has nothing to do with any national stance, it is just my personal opinion, and if it causes any controversy, it has nothing to do with the official Sun Moon Empire."

Ye Yulin first layered armor on himself, after all, things are different now than before, the world situation is different, and he cannot provoke disputes at will.

As the investigator appointed by Kong Deming, his every word and action now represents the Sun Moon Empire, and he must put on his armor before speaking.

He simply couldn't understand what Dai Hao was thinking. Did the Star Luo Empire have no one else? Why choose someone like this as marshal?

No wonder Prime Minister Otto said back then that Dai Hao was just an ordinary person and not worth worrying about at all.

Prime Minister Otto was indeed far too authoritative.

Although he sometimes disagreed with some of Otto's decisions, he still admired Prime Minister Otto's wisdom immensely, considering him a rare talent among ministers.

"No way, Duke White Tiger, have you lost your mind? What would you gain by killing your own son? If I remember correctly, that student named Dai Huabin was the last direct descendant of the White Tiger lineage, wasn't he?"

"I've never heard of anyone wanting to have no descendants? Are there many people in the White Tiger lineage?"

"Your eldest son died a few years ago, and now you want to kill your younger son. Do you not intend to pass on the title of Duke of White Tiger?"

"They're still killing people outside Mingdu. Are they planning to frame the Sun Moon Empire afterward, saying we were the ones who did it?"

Wang Yan pushed up his glasses. He was the Shrek Academy representative appointed by Elder Song. He stared at Dai Hao with a sharp gaze and a hint of hostility in his tone.

"Your Excellency Duke White Tiger, I have always admired you. In the Star Luo Empire, you have always been known for your composure, calmness, and skillful military command, and have long been called the God of War."

Why are you so confused now? The conflict between you and Dai Huabin is not something Shrek Academy has the right to manage; it's a family matter of your White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

But we must know where he is now! Although Dai Huabin carries a major demerit, he is still a student of Shrek Academy and a member of the Shrek team.

"Tibao, Xu Sanshi, and Elder Zhuang from our team conducted a comprehensive investigation of that area and determined that he had encountered spatial teleportation, and the direction pointed to the Star Dou Great Forest."

Furthermore, judging from the duration and continuity of the lingering aura, he was most likely teleported to the Star Dou Great Forest instantly.

"Your Grace, we need an explanation."

Dai Hao fell silent. In fact, he didn't know why he had been blinded by anger at the time.

Seeing that his son actually wanted to kill him, Duke White Tiger felt his dignity as a father was challenged. His originally calm heart seemed to be boiled over, and he instantly became furious.

He did not deny that every move he made at that time was indeed aimed at Dai Huabin's life. Now that he had calmed down, looking back, he felt that something was not quite right.

Having served as marshal for so many years, he shouldn't be so easily angered.

It was as if an invisible hand was pushing him to do this.

But upon closer reflection, his behavior was completely logical, and there was nothing amiss in his memory.

The probability that he killed Dai Huabin out of pure anger is not entirely zero; the main reason is that at the time, he was thinking that even if Dai Huabin died, Dai Luoli would still be there.

Although Dai Luoli's martial soul was a bit weak and his talent was average, he was still able to be forcibly promoted to Title Douluo by relying on the resources of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

Once one becomes a Title Douluo, there will naturally be no objection to inheriting the title of Duke of White Tiger.

"I—I don't know where Huabin went."

"I have never arranged for any space-attribute Soul Masters to be around me. The only space-attribute expert I know who is still alive is Xuanji Douluo."

If it truly is the Star Dou Great Forest, Your Excellency Wang Yan, you are a teacher at Shrek Academy and a renowned researcher on the Magic Network.

You should know that only Di Tian and that unknown god-level expert are capable of achieving this.

Dai Hao lowered his head, and his words made Wang Yan fall into deep thought. Ye Yulin sighed and said, "He's right. The straight-line distance between the Star Dou Great Forest and Mingdu is 3,500 kilometers, while the maximum straight-line distance in Douluo Continent is 7,800 kilometers."

"Even a Limit Douluo cannot complete the teleportation immediately. The teleportation soul array researched in Xilu City can do it, but it has a huge impact when activated and costs an astronomical amount of Dream Coins."

Wang Yan certainly knew what it meant to instantly transport someone from Mingdu to the Star Dou Great Forest; the other party had surpassed the limits of mortals in the spatial realm.

Perhaps only Tibbo in the entire Shrek universe will be able to reach this level in the future.

Currently, the only known powerhouses in Mingdu are Di Tian and that silver-haired powerhouse who could do this, but neither of them has any reason to do it, let alone target a mere Soul Emperor.

Given Di Tian's style, if Dai Huabin had truly offended him, he would have been slapped to death long ago. Not only would no one be able to criticize him, but they would also have to praise the slap.

"Sigh, I understand. I'll find some time to ask His Majesty the Beast God and see if he has any clues."

Even if one wanted to enter the Star Dou Great Forest to search, they would need the other party's approval.

Wang Yan was at a loss. The Star Dou Great Forest was no longer a place that could be entered at will. Due to policy reasons, the major empires prohibited their citizens from entering the Star Dou Great Forest without permission.

The Spirit Pagoda has branch pagodas in the east, west, south, and north of the Star Dou Great Forest, with the Beast King from within the Star Dou Great Forest serving as the pagoda master.

Spirit mediums patrol the area from time to time, and if they find illegal immigrants, they will be fined or even imprisoned.

The interrogation room fell silent for a moment, with Dai Hao looking down, seemingly lost in thought.

The shackles on his hands were level nine soul tools, which Kong Deming personally put on him, and they had the function of sealing soul power and mental power.

Just then, the magic network that had been around for so long suddenly lit up, and Xu Jiawei sent her a video call.

After glancing at Dai Hao for a long time, Xu Jiawei answered the call. A screen suddenly lit up, and Xu Jiawei, dressed in a dragon robe, appeared before everyone.

Ye Yulin stood up and gave a slight bow to show respect to the emperors of other countries, and Wang Yan also bowed.

Xu Jiawei nodded to the two of them, his face looking much older than before. The light screen rotated gently, casting a soft glow on Dai Hao's face.

"I know everything."

"I have already spoken with the Regent of the Sun Moon Empire. It's a misunderstanding, and you will be released soon."

"After you leave, return to the Mingdou Mountains immediately and prepare for battle."

Once the support order from Conference 05 reaches you, immediately lead the Western Army Group and your White Tiger Guards to the front lines of Douling.

"You probably don't know what happened at the White Tiger Duke's mansion, do you? Let me tell you."

"Professor Wang Yan and His Excellency Starry Sky Douluo, could you please give me and Duke White Tiger some private space? I will give Shrek Academy an explanation regarding Dai Huabin's matter."

Since the Emperor of Xingluo has said so, Wang Yan and Ye Yulin naturally have to give him face, and it is indeed time for Dai Hao to know about the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

Since being captured, Dai Hao has been forbidden from accessing the Magic Network, for fear that he might lose control of his emotions and do something rash, resulting in his death in Mingdu. Currently, the tragedy at the White Tiger Duke's Mansion has become the number one trending topic on the Magic Network.

Many fearless streamers even went there to broadcast various bizarre ways people died, making many viewers' hair stand on end and their spines tingle.

After the two left, only Xu Jiujiu, Dai Hao, and Xu Jiawei remained in the interrogation room.

Xu Jiawei didn't keep Dai Hao in suspense and casually pulled up a live stream to show him.

The live stream showed the current tragic state of the White Tiger Duke's mansion, with cries and screams mixed together, and a large number of corpses lying haphazardly on the jade-paved path.

The official army of the Star Luo Empire surrounded the place completely, and several guards from the White Tiger Duke's mansion cried and begged the soldiers to let them leave.

But none of the soldiers dared to speak to him; they all closed their eyes and formed a human wall to prevent them from leaving.

"What, why is this happening?! Your Majesty!"

Dai Hao clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot. The White Tiger Duke's Mansion was very important to him; it represented the dignity and glory of the White Tiger lineage. Xu Jiawei shook his head and said, "I didn't do it."

"If I did it, would I even dare to talk to you?"

"You can see what happened once you open the magic network yourself."

"Your White Tiger Duke's Mansion has offended someone, and now it's been wiped out in blood."

Dai Hao looked at the crying guards, many of whom were once his White Tiger personal guards, and his voice, filled with extreme anger, flowed from between his teeth.

"Why won't they leave?! What happened?!"

Xu Jiawei sighed, slightly suppressing the upturned corners of his mouth, and forced a sad expression.

With a flick of his finger, he brought up a large number of death videos, the methods of which varied and could even be described as bizarre.

Watching these videos of death, Dai Hao suddenly felt his hands and feet turn ice cold.

A Soul King guard, once a member of the White Tiger Guard, had his skull pierced by a falling raindrop; a female maid slipped and got her head caught in a curtain, strangling her to death; and someone else fell and was cut in half at the waist while trying to escape.

Dai Hao's lips trembled as he said, "A curse-type soul skill? It was done by an evil soul master?!"

Xu Jiawei shook his head and said, "No trace of a curse was detected, not even a trace of unusual soul power."

"It was as if they had been abandoned by fate, and death became their inevitable outcome."

"People have tried to protect them, but it's no use! They still die in all sorts of bizarre ways, regardless of whether they are Soul Masters or ordinary people. Even rainwater can kill a Soul Master!"

"And those who protected them also encountered danger."

The initial danger wasn't fatal, but if you continue to think about protecting them after surviving one, the next time it will be a certain death sentence!

"A whole squad of Soul Masters has already choked to death on their own saliva."

"Dai Hao, who exactly did you offend?"

Dai Hao slumped in the chair as if his spine had been removed, his mind racing, trying to recall who he had offended in his life. There were just too many people to count.

"By the way, how is my wife?"

Dai Hao finally remembered Duchess Baihu and hurriedly asked Xu Jiawei.

Xu Jiawei's expression was also somewhat gloomy, and Dai Hao knew the outcome just by seeing that expression.

"They've disappeared; not even their bodies have been found."

The Duchess of Baihu ultimately had the blood of the Xu family flowing through her veins, and the fact that she disappeared without a trace, whether alive or dead, was a disgrace to the royal family.

Dai Hao's fingertips plunged deep into Che Zhong, drawing out streaks of scarlet blood.

"Your Majesty, before I leave, I would like to make a trip to the White Tiger Duke's residence."

Xu Jiawei closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I don't recommend you go."

"No matter what kind of power it is, it is targeting your White Tiger lineage. If you go there, you may also be targeted by that invisible force."

Dai Hao's eyes revealed determination, along with the solemnity unique to the military. "I must go!"

"That is where the glory of the White Tiger lineage lies. The shrine is there, and I will offer sacrifices to Heaven and pray for the mercy of the God of War."

Seeing that he couldn't stop him, Xu Jiawei simply gave up. In fact, if he could, he would have liked Dai Hao to stay in Mingdu forever. The calamity that befell the White Tiger Duke's Mansion was a good thing for the royal family.

He only had to bail Dai Hao out because of his status as Duke Dai Hao and Marshal of the Army.

Unfortunately, Dai Hao also contracted the death curse, so Xu Jiawei could only mourn for him and set up a memorial day to stop work across the country for half a day.

Meanwhile, within the Divine Might Space, the raging flames were scorching the body and soul of the White Tiger Duchess.

She could only let out a painful scream as she watched Dai Hao heading to the White Tiger Duke's mansion and Dai Huabin being toyed with by Ji Tou Si.
