Douluo Dalu II: I, Huo Yuhao, join Sun Moon

Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 166: The Angry Duchess

The old man showed embarrassment on his face, and he said, "The gap is indeed a bit big, but I don't think it will have any impact.

Your Majesty, you want these earth-drilling Soul Guidance Devices, should it be for building a mausoleum?

The Star Luo Empire version of the earth-drilling Soul Guidance Device can meet your needs.

According to my test results, at the same level, this Star Luo Empire version of the earth-drilling Soul Guidance Device that does not use silver cloud gold is about 30% of the level of the Sun Moon Empire version of the earth-drilling Soul Guidance Device."

Xu Jiawei is now in his prime, but because he has no chance to become a god and his lifespan is limited, as an emperor, he must prepare an emperor's mausoleum for himself while he is alive.

Of course, since there are a large number of Soul Masters and Soul Engineers in Douluo Continent, building a mausoleum is not a waste of money for the Star Luo Empire.

Xu Jiawei was stunned for a moment, then his face became serious. "Yes, I need a Soul Guidance Device to drill the ground just to build the mausoleum."

He did not mention that he was cooperating with the Body Sect, so he needed a Soul Guidance Device to drill the ground.

Because such things cannot be exposed at all—once exposed, the consequences will be disastrous.

So until now, very few people in the Star Luo Empire know that he has cooperated with the Body Sect.

Xu Jiawei felt that his plan to let the Sun Moon Empire seize the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo and lure the Body Sect to attack Illustrious Virtue Hall was simply genius.

After all, once this plan is successfully implemented, it can cause conflicts between the Body Sect and the Sun Moon Empire. When the Sun Moon Empire launches a war in the future, it will regard the Body Sect as an enemy—an invisible ally of the Star Luo Empire.

Moreover, all the researchers in Illustrious Virtue Hall are talents of the Sun Moon Empire. When the Body Sect takes action, they will not consider the safety of the researchers.

Once the researchers suffer heavy casualties, Illustrious Virtue Hall will suffer a huge blow.

As for the Soul Guidance Devices that Illustrious Virtue Hall lost during the attack by the Body Sect, it is a secondary loss.

Because, no matter what new Soul Guidance Devices Illustrious Virtue Hall loses, as long as talented researchers are still present and there is no shortage of materials, those Soul Guidance Devices can be replicated.

'I hope the Body Sect can deal a heavy blow to Illustrious Virtue Hall, so we can buy more time for the Star Luo Empire.

After all, the development speed of the Soul Guidance Devices of the Sun Moon Empire is accelerating,' Xu Jiawei's mind was churning.

"Hand over the best batch of earth-drilling Soul Guidance Devices. Building a mausoleum is a big deal. I need to find some people who are extremely skilled at building mausoleums," Xu Jiawei said lightly.

Soon, these level 8 Soul Engineers handed over the best batch of earth-drilling Soul Guidance Devices.

Xu Jiawei found a random reason to leave and then began to contact people from the Body Sect to obtain these Soul Guidance Devices.

White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

In the room.

The Duchess was wearing luxurious clothes and sitting on a chair.

Beside her stood an old man in black clothes with gray hair.

The old man's face was covered with wrinkles, but he exuded a powerful aura.

This old man was a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse and her most trusted subordinate.

She was born into the Star Luo Royal family and had a noble status. It was normal for her to have a protector.

However, because the Title Douluos of the Star Luo Empire all had important positions, she could only get the protection of one Soul Douluo at most.

In her eyes, a Soul Douluo was already a very strong existence.

After all, she is currently only at the Soul Emperor level, and there is an insurmountable gap between her and Soul Douluo.

"Duchess, I have some information about the Duke," a man in armor kneeling in front of her reported.

His name is Zhao Dashan, and he is the personal soldier of the White Tiger Duke, Dai Hao.

He usually takes protecting Dai Hao's safety as his responsibility. Because the Duchess promised many benefits, he chose to join her.

Of course, joining the Duchess and protecting Dai Hao are not contradictory.

Because the Duchess also asked him to pay more attention to Dai Hao's safety.

For Zhao Dashan, joining the Duchess is a very normal thing.

Although the Duchess's reputation in the Star Luo Empire has become very bad because of the Huo Yuhao incident, many people gossip behind her back.

Even Zhao Dashan thought that the Duchess "killed" Huo Yun'er and concealed the existence of Huo Yuhao.

However, the Duchess is a member of the Star Luo Empire's royal family and has an extremely noble status.

Her son Dai Yueheng would inherit the position of White Tiger Duke in the future. After all, Dai Yueheng currently has no competitors.

To join the Duchess now is equivalent to joining the future White Tiger Duke, which would bring him many benefits.

Moreover, he could see that Dai Yueheng was an ambitious person, and perhaps Dai Yueheng would have the idea of regaining the throne.

If Dai Yueheng could regain the throne in the future, then he, the so-called personal soldier, would probably have a chance to earn credit by following the emperor.

These days, the White Tiger Duke took some of his personal soldiers back to Star Luo Empire City to rest but did not enter the Duke's Mansion. However, he also collected some intelligence, so he came to report to the Duchess.

The Duchess's face turned ugly when she heard this. In the past, Dai Hao would choose to go back home once he returned to Star Luo Empire City.

But now Dai Hao gave up going home as if there was some kind of monster in the Duke's Mansion.

She said impatiently, "Tell me, what exactly is the information?"

Zhao Dashan glanced at the Duchess and said, "The Duke took us to repair a tomb recently.

We built some wooden houses around the tomb for living.

During this period, the Duke mentioned that he had no intention of returning to the Duke's Mansion.

According to the Duke, Huo Yun'er was buried in that tomb.

When he saw the tomb, he sometimes said some words about missing Huo Yun'er, such as 'Yun'er, I'm sorry for you and Yu Hao,' 'If I could resurrect you like Tang San's ancestor resurrected Xiao Wu, that would be great.'"

With a click.

The teacup in the Duchess's hand was instantly shattered, making a crisp sound.

Her face was extremely ugly, and her voice sharp: "Huo Yun'er is just a little maid; how could Brother Hao not forget her after so long?

She has been dead for so long, and her ghost is still lingering.

Moreover, her son betrayed the Star Luo Empire and chose to join the Sun Moon Empire. There is no doubt that Huo Yuhao is an enemy of the Star Luo Empire!

Brother Hao is the White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire; how can he say such a thing?"

She couldn't understand that a maid was not a person at all, but just a talking object. Yet, Brother Hao was now obsessed with Huo Yun'er, a "maid," and chose to ignore her.

She was a princess, after all. When has she ever been treated like this?
