Douluo Continent: The Rebirth of Huo Yuhao

Chapter 87 Old Friends

Mingdu.

The news of Xu Tianzhen's disappearance quickly reached Xu Leye. After listening to the report with a somber expression, Xu Leye did not rush to get angry.

After a moment's thought, Xu Leye quickly figured out the key point.

He knew the strength of the Mingdu Soul Master Academy's defenses; unless a Limit Douluo intervened, no one could abduct a student silently.

The Limit Douluo's move was not aimed at just one princess; even if she were his most beloved daughter, he would not be coerced into it.

This method of leaving images is quite similar to Huo Yuhao's simulation soul skill, although the information he currently has does not indicate that Huo Yuhao's simulation can do this.

However, it is reasonable that Huo Yuhao's soul skills would undergo some changes as his strength improves.

After figuring it out, Xu Leye ordered Jing Hongchen to be summoned to the palace. If Huo Yuhao was also not at the academy, then the matter was almost certain.

"Yes."

The person who reported responded and prepared to take his leave.

"Wait, keep the news of Tianzhen's disappearance strictly confidential. No one but me should know about it."

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Xu Leye decided to suppress the news for the time being.

If Xu Tianzhen was indeed acting in concert with Huo Yuhao, Xu Leye wouldn't feel much resentment.

Huo Yuhao has immense potential, and Xu Leye definitely hopes to see him take his relationship with the royal family to the next level.

However, this ruthless emperor, who had spent his life scheming and plotting countless schemes, actually did not want to interfere too much in the life-long affairs of his most beloved daughter at this time.

Having teetered on the brink of death, Xu Leye felt a surge of tenderness, which he channeled into his daughter, Xu Tianzhen, hoping she could live a happy life.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings."

Thinking of this, Xu Leye glanced around, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Upon receiving the Emperor's message, Jing Hongchen quickly rushed to the palace.

After some questioning, Jing Hongchen finally learned what had happened: Huo Yuhao had actually taken Princess Xu Tianzhen away on this trip?

This news left Jing Hongchen speechless with shock. How could Huo Yuhao be so reckless? Xu Tianzhen was His Majesty's most beloved daughter!

"Master of the Red Dust Hall, since it has already happened, let them be. I know Tianzhen best; she has always wanted a real adventure. I suppose it was only after her repeated pleas that Minister Huo had no choice but to act this way."

"I have long heard that the renowned powerhouses of Douluo Continent today all trained alone in their early years and single-handedly resolved various crises. Perhaps the reason why our Sun Moon Empire has a shortage of top-tier Soul Masters is because they lack this kind of experience."

"Master of the Red Dust Hall, go ahead, and remember this matter is top secret."

Xu Leye set the tone for the matter, without holding anyone accountable.

Jing Hongchen agreed verbally and slowly withdrew from the palace, silently praying that nothing bad would happen.

After leaving Mingdu, Huo Yuhao and his two companions traveled smoothly. Their level-six flying soul tool was quite fast, and in about half a month, they arrived at the city closest to the Demon Forest, Jianmo City.

As its name suggests, this city was built to defend against the Evil Eye Demon Lord, the second most ferocious beast on the continent.

A titled Douluo is always stationed here, and the city's core possesses a level-nine soul tool that defends against mental attacks, located in the titled Douluo's residence.

The purpose of the Demon-Watching City is to monitor the Evil Lord's actions. If it makes any unusual moves toward Mingdu, the city will issue a warning.

Of course, the Demon-Suppressing City has no power to resist the Evil Lord. Once the Evil Lord makes a move, it will be the first city to fall to the Sun and Moon Empire.

Since its founding, the city has indeed fallen once, with rivers of blood flowing.

However, it successfully provided an early warning to Mingdu, preventing a beast tide launched by the Evil Lord.

However, that happened before the Sun Moon Continent and Douluo Continent merged. After the two continents collided, the Evil Lord never launched another attack against Mingdu.

People have gradually forgotten its majesty.

"We've traveled for so long, let's stop and rest for a bit, and restore our mental and spiritual power to their peak before entering the forest."

Upon arriving at the Demon-Suppressing City, Huo Yuhao made the suggestion.

After more than half a month of bumpy travel, Xu Tianzhen's face was also full of fatigue.

Huo Yuhao noticed Xu Tianzhen's embarrassment and found it somewhat amusing.

"Innocent Princess, now you know that adventures aren't as comfortable as staying in the palace, right?"

"Hmph, what I want is adventure, not just traveling."

Xu Tianzhen said angrily.

Xu Tianzhen had never had such an experience. The two weeks she spent traveling in the flying soul tool were the worst two weeks of her life. She couldn't do anything except travel every day.

"Alright, Princess Naïve, traveling is part of the adventure. Let's go rest first."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Huo Yuhao offered Xu Tianzhen a piece of advice, and he could understand Xu Tianzhen's complaints to some extent.

Xu Tianzhen was well aware that adventures always involve some hardship, so she simply complained and didn't intend to throw a tantrum.

The three of them entered the Demon City together and found a hotel to check into.

Their status as students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy granted them many conveniences; the hotel, which was originally fully booked, managed to free up two rooms for them.

Ji Juechen and Huo Yuhao shared a room, while Xu Tianzhen had her own room.

After checking in, the three of them went to Huo Yuhao's and Huo Yuhao's room to discuss matters related to entering the forest the next day.

"Why are there so many people in this small town?"

The speaker was Xu Tianzhen. Jianmo City was indeed just a small city within the Sun Moon Empire, with a poor geographical location and no strategic value. She didn't understand why it was so crowded and popular.

"The Demon Forest is the largest gathering place of soul beasts in the Sun Moon Empire. It is rich in resources. Soul masters like us, who have been traveling for a long time, all want to rest here before entering."

"Soul Masters who have gained something in the Demon Forest will mostly sell their unused resources here, and over time, the number of people doing this has increased."

Huo Yuhao had done his homework thoroughly before setting off, which is why he was able to answer so fluently.

"So that's how it is."

Xu Tianzhen looked as if she had just realized something. Having lived in the deep palace for so long, she naturally wouldn't know about these things.

After explaining these things, the three discussed it briefly, and then Xu Tianzhen went back to her room to rest.

After seeing Xu Tianzhen off, Huo Yuhao went to the window and was about to close it to rest.

Suddenly, my eyes caught sight of a familiar face.

This person is Princess Xu Jiujiu, who hosted auctions at the Starlight Auction House and later represented the Star Luo Empire in the Soul Master Competition.

She was walking on the street outside the hotel where Huo Yuhao was staying. Accompanying her was another young but stunningly beautiful woman. Huo Yuhao did not recognize her, but guessed that she must also be of high status, otherwise she would not be walking side by side with Xu Jiujiu.
