Chapter 244 Tonight Belongs to the Snow Emperor
It was clearly a caring word, but it was full of sourness. Huo Yuhao pursed his lips. After a moment, he took the other's crystal clear jade hand, felt the cold tenderness, and spoke softly.
"Sorry, I was too stupid before."
This sentence was not an apology for what happened last night, but an apology for not noticing in the previous life, or subconsciously ignoring and avoiding the other's feelings.
In the previous life, when he was still a fourth-ring cultivator, he met the Snow Emperor. The other party guided him when he was weak, and still silently supported him behind him after he became strong. Even after he entered the God Realm, the other party helped him to the best of his ability. The relationship between the two has long been better than that of relatives.
He couldn't judge who was right and who was wrong between the dedicated him in the previous life and the him now.
Life is mostly like this. Just a second ago, I felt that I had some understanding, and after a while, I would find that it was just my own illusion.
People always have to think. Those who dare to say that they have figured it out are either not far away from the end and have no strength to move forward. Or they are self-destructive and self-deceiving.
Recalling the various companions he met along the way, Huo Yuhao pursed his lips. Since he had lived a new life, his previous thoughts had already changed greatly. He didn't want to disappoint anyone again.
Feeling Huo Yuhao's tenderness, Xue Di's cold face melted a little at a speed visible to the naked eye. She snorted lightly, not only did she not struggle, but she took the initiative to hold tighter, as if to prevent the other party from running away.
"It's true that you are stupid, but you are not hopeless. You have finally changed a little in this life... I think you barely passed."
"Ahem, there are so many people around, give me some face."
Huo Yuhao looked at the people around him who were curious and envious, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. His hair quickly turned silver-white. After his other hand gently embraced the other's waist, his eyes changed slightly. The two disappeared in front of everyone, and when they appeared again, they were already on the empty beach.
As soon as he appeared, Huo Yuhao felt Xue Di's crystal lips suddenly imprinted on him. The slightly cold touch revealed a hot feeling everywhere.
As if to avenge what happened last night, the opponent's actions were much more brutal than before, killing Huo Yuhao and making him lose his army. The battlefield was so small that he would be found by the opponent no matter where he hid. After being severely humiliated, a new round of hide-and-seek began.
After an unknown amount of time, the two separated.
Looking at Huo Yuhao's slightly panting appearance, a trace of inexplicable emotion flashed in Xue Di's eyes, and she spoke in a cold voice.
"I'm not so easy to get rid of. Your birthday is not over yet. Tonight belongs to me."
Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, and suddenly felt that the days ahead were bleak. He was tossed all night last night. He finally closed his eyes for a while, and got up to go through another fierce battle. If it weren't for his amazing physical fitness and recovery ability, I'm afraid he would have been unable to get out of bed.
"Brother Tianmeng! Brother Tianmeng! Think of a solution!"
However, at this moment, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was watching his nose and his heart, and his ears were not listening to anything outside the window. He completely ignored Huo Yuhao's shouts. There was no way. Anyone who saw the gloomy face of the Snow Emperor in the spiritual space last night would not dare to sing a different tune at this time.
He didn't use Huo Yuhao as a sacrifice, and it was good enough that he tied him up and presented him to the Snow Emperor.
For our safety, I can only make you suffer.
"Ahem, you are still a soul now, or you can ascend to the God Realm in the future..."
Seeing that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had no intention of paying attention to him, Huo Yuhao racked his brains to make the last struggle, trying to change the other party's mind, but the Snow Emperor raised a playful smile at the corner of her mouth.
"Don't worry about this, I have found a way. As long as I consume more energy to solidify my body, it will be no different from the experience of a physical entity..."
"......?"
The originally stiff smile on Huo Yuhao's face suddenly solidified. What kind of weird things are you studying every day! ? This is what they have been preparing for! ?
The sky gradually darkened, and as the door of the residence opened, Gu Yuena looked up, just lightly glanced at Huo Yuhao, and her eyes fell on the white-haired girl beside him, her eyes flickering slightly.
"Yuhao will sleep in another room tonight."
Xue Di looked at him fearlessly, and said in a cold voice.
She was ready to take action yesterday, but she didn't know that the other party was so well prepared and took the lead.
Hearing this, Gu Yuena's eyes like amethyst blinked twice, ignoring Huo Yuhao's slightly pleading eyes, and looked at the other bedroom again, without saying anything.
Seeing this, Xue Di said no more, snorted coldly, and pulled Huo Yuhao, who looked as pale as death, into the room. With a bang, the door closed tightly, and then a cold breath came from it. There was no sound in the room, and it was obvious that the whole room was sealed like Gu Yuena last night.
Tiandou City.
Prince's Palace, Study.
Xue Qinghe was sitting at the desk, flipping through the documents on the table one by one. Suddenly, he paused, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he stared at the documents in his hand.
"It's getting more and more frequent. This is the second time this month."
This is a record of the disappearance of soul masters in towns within the Tiandou Empire, and the latest date was marked two days ago.
He had heard about this before. As early as a few years ago, some small towns near Tiandou City had inexplicably disappeared soul masters.
At first, this matter did not attract attention. After all, there are so many people missing every year. It is difficult to count the number of soul masters who died at the hands of soul beasts. Moreover, similar incidents occur only once a month. Each time, the incidents occur in different towns, making it difficult to link these disappearances together.
Until a year ago, this incident became more and more frequent, causing large-scale panic among town residents. Only then did the mayors of various cities realize that the situation was beyond their control and reported the situation to Xue Qinghe.
The crime lasted for several years without any evidence. Although each town where the incident occurred was not too far away, it took a lot of time to go back and forth. The other party was obviously very cautious and was not a beast as rumored.
First, the beast did not have such a high IQ and would not be so picky about the target. Moreover, it should leave some evidence anyway, and it was impossible not to find even a trace of blood.
Second, the incidents often occurred in towns. From the past to the present, there has never been a case where a beast ran to a human town to hunt soul masters, not to mention that it could not be discovered.
The fact that a soul master could disappear quietly in a bustling town was enough to prove that the opponent was very powerful.
The city lord and the nobles in the town, who should have been the first to take countermeasures, turned a blind eye to it. Although they also had soul masters, they were hired by them with real money to protect themselves. If they were lost here, where would they go to cry?
Besides, how could the nobles do things for the common people?
As long as they were not threatened, the death of a few soul masters was nothing. Anyway, the matter had been reported. As long as the matter became a big deal, the royal family or the Spirit Hall would send people to solve the matter. There was no need to worry.
The subsequent development of the matter was indeed as they expected. The Spirit Hall, which had noticed this matter, took action and sent several soul emperor-level strongmen from the Tiandou City branch hall to station in the branch halls of various towns, hoping to wait and catch the opponent.
As a result, no one expected that within a month, a soul emperor had been lost in this incident. Like other cases, not even a trace of clues was left.
You know, facing this level of existence, even if it is a sneak attack, at least the same level of strength is needed to kill it quickly, and the murderer who can make the opponent unable to even make a cry for help is probably at least at the level of Soul Saint, or even Soul Douluo.
Now things are getting serious. Among the forces of the Wuhun Hall in Tiandou City, the strongest platinum bishop Saras is only at the level of Soul Douluo.
Let alone whether it is possible to take down the opponent who is likely to be a Soul Douluo, even if it can win, there is only one platinum bishop in the entire Tiandou Empire, and it is impossible to manage so many towns.
Thinking of this, Xue Qinghe frowned slightly. As the owner of the six-winged angel martial spirit, she is very sensitive to such things. The opponent chooses the soul master so purposefully, and it is likely that he has the evil ability to absorb the opponent's soul power to improve his own cultivation.
Unless this evil soul master encounters a light martial spirit like him, the combat power he shows is much stronger than that of an ordinary soul master.
But where did this murderer suddenly appear?
After all, there haven't been evil soul masters of this strength in the continent for too many years. After all, when the opponent is weak, he must grow up, right? But before this, there was no large-scale disappearance of soul masters. This evil soul master of Soul Douluo level seemed to have popped out of thin air, which was simply incredible.
After his eyes flickered for a moment, he took out the letter paper and started writing.
In any case, he couldn't just let the people of the Spirit Hall go so easily after they were killed. Moreover, if he continued to let them go, the opponent's strength would probably become more and more terrifying.
Haotian Sect.
Since the Haotian Sect reached a cooperation with the Tiandou Royal Family, the original large-scale closure of the sect was also lifted step by step. Although it could not return to its former prosperity, life was still acceptable.
In the master's room, Tang Xiao looked at the information he got today in front of him with a deep look. The events recorded on it seemed to be the same as the one in Xue Qinghe's hand, but the one in Xue Qinghe's hand was obviously several times more detailed.
There was no way. The Haotian Sect, which had lost the four major clans, could only rely on itself to collect intelligence bit by bit.
I didn't realize it when the sect was sealed and didn't care about worldly affairs before, but now that the seal is gradually lifted and facing various forces, Tang Xiao realized how important the people who were abandoned by them were.
Let me ask, which sect gets information by running to the notice board at the entrance of the town every day to copy the news?
Those sect disciples always wear black cloaks to cover themselves tightly, for fear that others will know that they are from Haotian Sect.
It's embarrassing!
Tang Xiao also wrote several letters to the four major clans before. The words were sincere and earnest. He expressed that he had no choice but to do such things back then. He was heartbroken and wiped his face with tears all day long. When he thought about this matter in the middle of the night, he would sit up and slap himself twice.
Finally, he implicitly stated that Haotian Sect is no longer as destitute as before. It can be said that it is thriving and making a lot of money every day. Now life is comfortable. I look forward to their return to Haotian Sect. The sect will make up for their losses over the years.
In short, it's just one sentence! Let's all come back to make dumplings together!
In the end, only Titan, the patriarch of the Power Clan, replied to the letter. His words were quite cold, and he said that he had no intention of returning to the Haotian Sect.
You're kidding! His master is Tang Hao! The young master is Tang San! How could he come back to work for you, Tang Xiao?
Back then, it can be said that the person he hated the most was Tang Xiao. The old master was hiding everywhere, but he, as the eldest brother, ignored him and ran back to the Haotian Sect to be the Sect Master! ?
That was originally the position of the master!
The most annoying thing is that after becoming the Sect Master, he directly sealed the sect and abandoned the four major clans.
Now he has made a few dollars with the young master's hidden weapons and started to get cocky. He still wants him to go back! ?
Dream on! He has his own pride!
As for Tang Hao, the source of all this, of course he chose to ignore it. After all, he was his master.
As for the other three letters, because the three major clans anticipated in advance that someone might send a letter to the original station, they had asked the neighbors around them, or the people who bought their land, to help forward the letters to the Spirit Pagoda when they moved.
When those neighbors heard that they were joining the Spirit Pagoda, they were naturally very attentive and patted their chests to promise.
Not long after, the forwarded letter arrived in the hands of the three clan leaders. Even though several months had passed, they liked to take out the letter and read it aloud when they sat together after dinner. The three of them laughed so hard that they fell over, which made their already happy mood even better.
Of course, Tang Xiao didn't know these. He waited for a long time but didn't get a reply. He was not too surprised except for some regret. After all, it was difficult for anyone to forgive what he did at the beginning.
And his attention now fell on the information in his hand. For some reason, the first figure that emerged in his mind was Tang San.
The time when the first soul master disappeared happened just when Tang San came out of the Slaughter City and returned to the Haotian Sect not long ago.
He didn't want to suspect the other party just because of this, but thinking of the other party's murderous aura that not only did not decrease in the past few years, but became more and more intense, he felt that it was very likely.
Recalling the gloomy look of the other party after coming out of the Slaughter City, Tang Xiao couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows and muttered in a rather irritable mood.
"Tang San, is it really you..."
After thinking for a moment, he was not ready to tell the other elders about this for the time being. After all, this was just his guess, and there was no solid evidence. If he wanted to investigate this matter, it would definitely be better to do it secretly. In recent years, Tang San has continuously demonstrated his value. This time, he reached a cooperation with the Tiandou Royal Family. Those elders completely regarded Tang San as the hope of the Haotian Sect.
If he said this at this time, it would inevitably reach Tang San's ears. Once the other party became suspicious, it would be difficult for him to conduct an investigation.
At this moment, in another room.
At this moment, Tang San was holding a cylinder about one foot long in his hand, and his face was filled with an unprecedented ferocious look.
"Why? Why!"
"The power of the rain pear blossom needle did not meet expectations... What was missing..."
