“Alliance Leader Nangong, you are too kind.” He Caitou responded with a wry smile.
Huo Yuhao was observing silently at the side. He clearly noticed that when He Caitou heard the word "imperial palace", his emotions fluctuated significantly.
Nangong Wan pointed at Huo Yuhao and Huang Zheng beside him and said, "Next, the three of you will represent Xishui League in the finals."
He Caitou immediately said, "Alliance Leader Nangong, don't worry, I will definitely win the championship."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Nangong Wan called a little follower and took out a storage ring. "This is a gift from our Xishui League. I hope you will accept it."
He Caitou did not resist: "Alliance Leader Nangong, just wait for my good news."
After saying that, he bowed and turned to leave.
“Brother, can we talk alone?” Seeing He Caitou was about to leave, Huo Yuhao stopped him.
A barely detectable cold light flashed across He Caitou's eyes. He nodded, and followed Huo Yuhao out of the central VIP room.
Nangong Wan looked at He Caitou, wondering what he was thinking.
A secluded corner in the Green Hotel.
“Brother, what do you want to talk to me about?” He Caitou asked first when he saw that Huo Yuhao didn’t speak, his voice full of caution.
As soon as he asked the question, he was stunned, looking at the changing figure in front of him in disbelief.
He Caitou said in surprise: "Yuhao, why is it you?"
“Brother Caitou, it’s me.” Huo Yuhao smiled and said, “I guessed that you would definitely make it to the finals.”
He Caitou smiled and said, "Not just the finals. I told you I will definitely win the championship."
"The reward for the champion is a level nine fixed-type soul guide shell. We must get it."
As Huo Yuhao spoke, his mental suggestion had quietly begun: "Brother Caitou, what are you going to do with this level nine fixed-type soul guide shell?"
He Caitou was completely unaware of the problem and continued speaking along with him: "Of course it is used to report..."
He Caitou had just said half of the word "enemy" when he suddenly came to his senses and stopped talking abruptly.
Huo Yuhao said calmly: "For revenge, right?"
He Caitou did not speak, but stared at Huo Yuhao with a ferocious look. His tall body, combined with the gradually rising murderous intent, gave off a strange sense of oppression.
Huo Yuhao looked at He Caitou calmly, also without saying a word.
The murderous intent on He Caitou's body became stronger and stronger, and it seemed that he was planning to kill his former junior brother right here.
"But Brother Caitou, have you ever thought about how to fire a ninth-level fixed-type soul guide cannon shell if you don't have a ninth-level fixed-type soul guide cannon?"
Huo Yuhao did not try to persuade him, but instead asked several questions in succession: “Are you going to carry the ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shells to the palace and detonate them with your flesh?”
"But if you don't have a level nine storage soul guide, how are you going to carry it into the palace?"
"Even if it really explodes in the palace, with the level of protection around Emperor Sun and Moon, can it really kill him?"
These questions hit the nail on the head. Admittedly, even if he could win the championship and the ninth-level fixed-type soul-guided cannonball, he still had a long way to go before he could truly achieve revenge on Cai Tou.
He Caitou's emotions first turned into a violent rage and then into a mess.
He punched the wall in the corridor, making a big hole: "Then what do you want me to do?!"
Huo Yuhao said softly: "The Sun-Moon Emperor is already terminally ill and will die soon."
He Caitou roared at the top of his lungs, his tall body slightly bent, his eyes staring like a man-eating beast.
"Yes, that bastard will die of illness soon, but are you going to persuade me to do nothing and watch him die of old age?"
"Are you trying to persuade me to give up revenge and make me dream about my dead parents and sister every night?"
Huo Yuhao was indeed using mental suggestion now, but he had changed the method to soothing, trying to calm He Caitou down.
It doesn't work at all.
Mental suggestion has a guiding effect, but it is ultimately just a suggestion. It is ineffective for those who have extremely strong obsessions or extremely firm wills.
In other words, now it is completely a true expression of his feelings towards Cai Tou.
He has nothing to do with that honest and simple image anymore.
Chapter 354 Xiao Bo
He Caitou's tall body stood in front of Huo Yuhao like a small mountain, and the human skin mask used for disguise could not hide the anger on his face.
His right arm was clenched into a fist and pressed tightly against the wall, its muscles exploding.
It is hard to imagine that this is the physical fitness that a food-type soul master can possess. When he came to Sun and Moon as an exchange student a few years ago, he, who was only a soul king, was evaluated to be at the level above Soul Emperor, and his strength was even evaluated at level 70.
Now, several years have passed, and He Caitou's cultivation has also broken through to the Soul Emperor. His physical fitness is likely to reach a new peak, enough to rival a true strong attack Soul Emperor.
It is not difficult to see how strong his physique has been in order to achieve his goals, as well as the inner motivation that supports him to constantly hone himself.
Huo Yuhao raised his head slightly and looked at He Caitou calmly, but he was also slightly stunned in his heart.
He had already anticipated the hatred in He Caitou's heart, and under the intentional guidance of mental suggestion, he made He Caitou reveal his purpose.
But he didn't expect that when He Caitou's emotions completely exploded, he would end up like this.
The mental suggestion still continues, and I don’t know what use the soothing effect is to He Caitou at this moment.
He Caitou's eyes were bloodshot under the human skin mask, and low roars continued to come from his throat.
Finally, He Caitou calmed down a little, took a long breath, and said: "Even if it is destined to fail, I will never give up. I can't wait any longer. Even if I sacrifice my life for revenge, I will never regret it."
"Yuhao, you don't have to persuade me anymore, and don't tell anyone else."
“Brother Caitou, I’m not trying to persuade you. Calm down first.” At this moment, Huo Yuhao finally spoke, “I can help you get revenge.”
He Caitou was stunned at first, and asked in disbelief: "You...are you telling the truth?"
He did not expect that Huo Yuhao, who had rejected him before, would now offer to help him. He was overjoyed.
“With the help of my soul skills, our chances of sneaking into the palace and helping you get revenge will be greatly increased.” Huo Yuhao smiled slightly.
He Caitou got excited and blurted out, "Then let's go now!"
But soon, he realized his mistake and said with a smile: "Yuhao, I'm sorry, I was too impatient. You are right, with just the two of us, even if we successfully sneak into the palace, we may not be able to assassinate him."
The extremely tense atmosphere suddenly calmed down as He Caitou returned to normal.
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, “Brother Caitou, I understand how you feel. But this matter is of great importance, so don’t put too much psychological pressure on yourself. It won’t be too late for us to discuss it slowly after the Soul Instructor Competition and the Soul Master Competition are over.”
"Yes, yes... Let's talk about this after I win the ninth-level soul guide shell."
Now He Caitou no longer has the fierce look he had before.
He suddenly asked, "By the way, Yuhao, it turns out that you also participated in the underground soul mentor competition. But why did you become like that? It seems that you have become a member of Xishui League?"
Huo Yuhao said, “Brother Caitou, didn’t you also disguise yourself? When dealing with these underground forces, who wouldn’t know how to hide their true identity?”
He Caitou nodded and said, "Okay, Yuhao, let's stop talking and go back to Mingyue Hotel. The quarterfinals will be here soon. We both seem to be first in our groups. We might be drawn to play against each other."
"When the time comes, if I draw an opponent, I will not show mercy."
Huo Yuhao felt relieved, thinking that He Caitou’s emotions should have stabilized.
He shook his head, turned back into his black-haired self, and said, "Brother Caitou, I want to use this identity to get more benefits from the Xishui League. Do you want to come too?"
He Caitou politely declined: "No need, I will go back first and discuss tactics with Xiaoya Beibei and the others. Yuhao, see you in the quarterfinals."
After saying that, he waved his hand and left the Green Hotel.
Huo Yuhao watched him leave and walked back to the central VIP room.
"Do you really want to help him get revenge?" Bingdi asked.
“Whether you help or not, let’s calm Brother Caitou down first.” Huo Yuhao had a complicated expression on his face. “I can understand his feelings very well.”
"I can't think of any good reason for me to persuade a man whose entire family was killed to let go of his blood feud."
Yin Lex sighed and said, "Alas, hatred is indeed enough to blind all wisdom in the world, but I will never advise others to forget hatred easily. I can only advise them to stay rational."
"That's why I asked you to help your friend. After all, I can empathize with this kind of emotion the most."
Huo Yuhao did not respond and went all the way back to the central VIP room.
Nangong Wan had already left, and only Huang Zheng, another disciple of the Third Elder, was left in the room.
Huang Zheng seemed to be waiting for Huo Yuhao on purpose. When he saw him coming back, he immediately stepped forward and respectfully held out his hands: “Sir Saint, the teacher said that this thing is given to you as a gift.”
A faint green light emanated from his hand, which was the same knife that Merck, who had turned to ashes, had used during his lifetime, the Dark Green Dragon.
Huo Yuhao frowned and took the Dark Azure Dragon: "This is..."
Huang Zheng said: "This knife is called Dark Azure Dragon. It is one of the listed carving knives, ranking fifty-ninth on the carving knife list. It has the dual attributes of darkness and wind, and can add these two attributes to the soul guide when engraving."
"With this Dark Azure Dragon, Saint Son, your strength can be increased by at least 20%, and you can even be directly promoted to a seventh-level soul mentor."
Huo Yuhao took the Dark Azure Dragon and said calmly, “Wait for me to thank the Third Elder.”
He weighed it lightly, feeling the feel of the Dark Azure Dragon carving knife. Compared to other carving knives, the Dark Azure Dragon was heavier.
"It feels good."
Huo Yuhao muttered, and at the same time a strange feeling arose in his mind.
This dark green dragon seemed to have some connection with him, as if it was destined to belong to him.
But unfortunately, he is now more accustomed to using the ice-attributed Emperor Sword Carving Knife and the Blade of Life, and has no use for this Dark Azure Dragon.
"By the way, can the ranking engraving knife be mass-produced?"
With this sudden thought in mind, Huo Yuhao left the Green Hotel.
……
On the streets of Mingdu, He Caitou was walking slowly on the way back to Mingyue Hotel.
After a night of finals, it was almost dawn, but there were still few people on the streets, and it seemed extremely deserted.
He Caitou was extremely excited at the moment, and his mind was constantly making plans on how to assassinate the Sun and Moon Emperor.
However, when they reached a fork in the road, He Caitou felt a chill in his heart, and a sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart.
A powerful pressure appeared without warning and locked onto him in an instant.
Almost immediately, two thick soul-guided cannon barrels opened on He Caitou's shoulders. Both were terrifyingly powerful seventh-level soul-guided heavy cannons.
