Chapter 837: Chapter 190: The Slaying of Duke Bai Hu_1
"He said his name is Huo Yuhao, and he does bear a resemblance to the Duke,"
The soldier replied with trepidation.
"Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao!"
"It's actually him, how dare he come here."
Dai Hao was muttering to himself continuously, as if he had gone mad.
"My lord, what should we do now?"
The soldier tentatively asked, "Should I go and capture him now?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Hao shook his head vigorously, "There's no need for that. Let him through and have him see me."
"My lord, Huo Yuhao comes from the Sun-Moon Empire, he should be considered a person of danger. I'm worried..." the soldier hesitated.
He always felt that Huo Yuhao's arrival was not very normal.
Hearing this, Dai Hao coldly smiled, "Am I supposed to fear him?"
"I know he has some talent, he performed very well during the Soul Master Competition. But in the end, he is nothing more than a Soul Ancestor. Even now, let's assume he is a Soul King, so what?
I have long been a Titled Douluo. Do you think I should fear that he might suddenly attack and hurt me?"
The soldier nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
This was indeed the rationale.
The Duke was a renowned Titled Douluo-level expert, and there was quite a difference between his might and Huo Yuhao's potential threat to him.
Thinking about it carefully, his concerns were indeed a bit superfluous.
"Yes, I will bring the person here right away."
The soldier hurriedly withdrew.
Before long,
he arrived in front of the Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device.
"The Duke has agreed to see you,"
Qin Xiao replied through the Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device, "Then let's go."
The soldier sternly warned, "I must warn you that this is a military camp filled with countless soldiers. Don't even think about causing any trouble here, or else you have no chance of escaping."
Qin Xiao laughed, "Heh, you've said it yourself, there are countless officers here, there's really no need to be so tense, right? Are these armies just made of paper, lacking even the courage to face me?"
"Uh, this..."
The expression on the soldier's face suddenly froze.
Qin Xiao's words left him at a loss for words.
"Stop the chatter and follow me."
The soldier turned around, leading the Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device through the camp.
Qin Xiao, disguised as a patrolling soldier, followed at a safe distance around the Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device.
This range was just at his limit.
In case Dai Hao suddenly decided to attack and the Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device couldn't withstand it, he could also retreat without a sound.
Walking through the camp naturally attracted many gazes.
"Hey, that young man looks a bit familiar."
"I feel the Duke bears some resemblance to this boy."
"Damn it, if you don't know how to speak, then just shut up. How old is the Duke, and how old is he? If there's a resemblance, it's because he looks like the Duke..."
The soldier leading Qin Xiao forward was utterly annoyed.
These guys were really too exasperating.
"Don't hold back, I think what you said was quite nice, I love to hear it," Qin Xiao said with a cheerful demeanor.
The soldier leading the way became even less pleased, "Get out of the way. This young man is someone the Duke wants to meet. Don't block my path and delay important matters of the Duke. Can you bear the responsibility if you do?"
Hisss...
As soon as they heard the soldier's tone escalate, no one dared to stand in front anymore.
Fearing they'd be blamed.
...
"You've arrived."
When Qin Xiao, controlling the Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device, walked into the central tent of the army, it did come as a surprise.
What surprised him was not meeting Dai Hao; it was Dai Hao's preparations.
In front of him stood more than ten people.
Each was donning Battle Armor and holding a Soul Guidance Shield in hand.
Seeing everyone ready for battle, Qin Xiao was stunned.
Was this really necessary?
Even Dai Hao's subordinates looked completely bewildered.
Didn't you just say it didn't matter, my lord?
Why such a big fuss now?
"You plan to talk to me like this?" Qin Xiao genuinely didn't know what to say.
He hadn't expected Dai Hao to be so afraid to die.
It was just... too much.
"I think this is quite good. This is how I spoke to others in the past," Dai Hao said, standing up.
Qin Xiao just managed to see a face behind the crowd.
"..." He really had nothing to say.
This old man was truly too fearful of death.
"You came from the Sun-Moon Empire; you must have something you wish to say to me, right?"
"Why are you not speaking?" Dai Hao asked from behind the crowd.
Qin Xiao: "..."
Damn it, there was no point in continuing this.
Qin Xiao remained silent.
"I can see that you have no intention of talking to me. So I also have nothing to say,"
After finishing this sentence, he fell completely silent.
"Hehe, if I am not mistaken, you must be carrying some kind of tracking soul device on your person, right? Are the Sun-Moon Empire's experts lying in wait just outside the camp, waiting for you to send them my precise location?" Dai Hao asked with a laugh.
Qin Xiao: "..."
Truthfully, he was quite disappointed in Dai Hao.
This guy, he had no guts at all.
Plain and simple... garbage.
"I can only tell you that I am alone right now. If you have anything to say, just say it to me. If not, then I might just leave."
As he said this, he made a gesture as if to walk out.
"Wait, you're here to talk to me, aren't you?" Dai Hao felt he should still be in control.
Hmm... Qin Xiao pondered for a moment, nodding, "You're right. Then I'll just convey one message I've brought back. Those people you sent to kill me, they're all dead. Hmm... dead without a complete body, that kind."
