Dragon City's Lord's Mansion, like that of most cities, was located in the city center. It was very large in scale and could be seen from a great distance.
At the entrance of the Lord's Mansion, two soldiers stood ramrod straight, wearing thick winter clothing.
Under the cover of night, Huo Yuhao's group turned into a dimly lit street. Under the effect of the Disguise soul skill, they quietly blended into the darkness and disappeared.
"I'll be right back." A soul beast that had formed a soul spirit symbiosis contract could use some of Huo Yuhao's soul skills. Huo Yuhao had the Snow Empress maintain the disguise while he flew off into the distance alone.
He soared into the air and quietly entered the Lord's Mansion. He was like a falling leaf, not alerting anyone.
"What is he going to do?" The mother and daughter pair, Nan Shuishui and Nan Qiūqiū, were full of confusion. They were the local powers here. Why did they have to act so secretively with Huo Yuhao?
The Snow Empress didn't feel much like talking to them. She threw out a "no comment" and continued to maintain her proud and cold demeanor.
The inside of the Lord's Mansion was very quiet. A patrol team could only be seen passing by after a long time. Huo Yuhao quietly infiltrated deeper, following the lights, and soon found the core building of the Lord's Mansion.
He floated up and drifted towards a two-story building that was lit up. At the same time, his spiritual power fully spread out, covering the entire Lord's Mansion. He didn't believe that a place like this would have a spiritual detection soul tool like those of the Sun Moon Empire.
Soon, he had a clear picture of the situation inside the Lord's Mansion.
In this Lord's Mansion, there were about one hundred and fifty soldiers stationed, including twenty soul masters. The cultivation of these soul masters was relatively weak, around the second or third ring. And in a room in the core of the Lord's Mansion lived a six-ring Soul Emperor level expert.
Normally, a single Soul Emperor expert could control a large city. In the eyes of ordinary people, a Soul Emperor was already an unattainable existence. A Soul Sage was a peak expert on the continent, a Soul Douluo was among the top of the pyramid, and a Titled Douluo was even a legendary figure.
As Huo Yuhao was detecting, he floated up and flew straight to the room where the Soul Emperor was.
Soon, he arrived outside the door. Judging from the current situation of these warlords in the Dragon City Lord's Mansion, he could completely clean this place up like flicking away dust. However, he did not want to interfere too much. He stood quietly outside the window, concentrating his spiritual power inside the room, quietly listening and observing.
Inside the room, a former officer under Marshal Xie Long, who was about sixty years old, was reading some documents, occasionally nodding. A Soul Emperor of this age clearly had no room for future development. Huo Yuhao recognized this person. He was considered an old general of Marshal Xie Long. Most of the officers released back then were young and promising, but there were also a few loyal individuals like this one.
Huo Yuhao also scanned the presence of low-level soul tools in the room. From this, he judged that a small number of soul tools had already been equipped in the army.
Someone's coming! Huo Yuhao's thoughts stirred as he sensed several people coming from outside the Lord's Mansion. Judging from their attire, they should all be merchants from the old imperial era, not soldiers.
After being announced, these few people quickly entered the Lord's Mansion and headed straight for the room where this old Soul Emperor general was.
After a full hour, the group had formulated a series of subsequent strategic policies. Only then did those noble figures leave with satisfaction.
From the discussion, it could be heard that these nobles who supported the army held the initiative in terms of the right to speak.
After the few noble personnel left, Huo Yuhao's figure slowly appeared in the room.
"You... Lord Demon King!" Seeing the person who had arrived, the old general's face immediately flushed with excitement. He took two steps forward in three strides and was about to kneel before him.
"Spare the strange formalities." Huo Yuhao faintly reached out a hand to support him. "Is there still no news of Staff Officer Zhang's people arriving here?"
The old general shook his head. Although he did not agree with the plan implemented by Xian Lin'er, he had no choice but to follow it.
Severing the faith in the Buddha was a crucial step that Huo Yuhao had to take.
This might take several decades or even a hundred years. With the lifespan of a soul master, they could completely afford to wait. But at the same time, this process also needed to be accelerated, striving to complete the ideological sublimation of the people of Douluo within two or three generations.
Huo Yuhao was not some great man. The time the God of Destruction had bought for him would not be too long. He was just using all means to weaken the strength of the Sea God, Tang San.
After all, the Douluo plane was under the jurisdiction of the Sea God. The God of Destruction was also happy to see the weakening of the Buddha's strength.
"You should also send out a small number of trusted subordinates from your side to start coordinating with Staff Officer Zhang's actions and spreading the new ideas." Huo Yuhao immediately gave the order to this old general.
"Yes." The old general immediately replied.
"Speed up the progress as much as possible, otherwise more civilians will suffer from the chaos of war. In addition, blow this wind of thought into the neighboring countries as well. In the future, I will sooner or later overthrow the Dou Ling and Star Luo empires as well."
"This subordinate obeys!"
After giving his instructions, Huo Yuhao quietly left the Lord's Mansion and went to meet up with the Snow Empress and the others.
When Huo Yuhao left the Lord's Mansion and returned to the meeting point, the mother and daughter pair, Nan Shuishui, were looking depressed.
Dragon City was their territory. What was the meaning of acting so mysteriously?
Huo Yuhao did not mock them, but just smiled faintly and said, "Are you two puzzled by my actions? Since I left the Proud Sword Sect with you, many people will be paying attention to my movements. To avoid unnecessary trouble, I have no choice but to do this."
Nan Qiūqiū didn't care if he was a Demon King. She snorted and said, "I think it's completely unnecessary. Anyway, you're already invincible in the world. You can kill wherever you go. Why care so much? Hmph!"
Huo Yuhao scratched his head. Did he really look so much like a born killer?
"Qiūqiū, do not be rude." Nan Shuishui quickly spoke up to stop her.
After spending half a day together, the mother and daughter had discovered that Huo Yuhao's personality did not match the outside descriptions. He was not as evil as Shrek claimed. So, the open-minded Nan Qiūqiū quickly reverted to her true nature in front of him.
Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly and didn't bother to explain anything. He believed that in the near future, Nan Qiūqiū would definitely understand the difficulty of creating a democratic regime.
"Let's go. I'll take you to our sect." After speaking, Nan Shuishui smiled apologetically and walked outside.
The mother and daughter were obviously very familiar with Dragon City. They wound their way through the city and soon arrived at the northern part of the city.
Nan Qiūqiū would occasionally peek at him from the side of the street or from a corner. She was clearly still a bit curious about Huo Yuhao, as well as having some misunderstandings.
Huo Yuhao was happy for the peace and quiet. How could her peeking escape his spiritual power? It was just that he now had to coax the Snow Empress, whose vinegar jar had been overturned.
"You, as soon as you come out, you're flirting everywhere!" The Snow Empress said with resentful anger, and even grabbed his ear.
"Hiss... wife, spare my life! I'll do it again next time—oh, I won't dare, I won't dare anymore..."
Nan Shuishui was walking not far in front of them. Hearing Huo Yuhao's address, her face immediately showed some surprise.
No way, the leader of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North has become the Demon King's wife?
"Shut up!" How could the Snow Empress not sense the subtle change in Nan Shuishui's delicate body? She immediately blushed and said angrily.
Huo Yuhao quickly clamped his mouth shut, but his hands were not idle. He tightly held the Snow Empress's soft, boneless hand.
Sigh, that damned God of Lust. I have so many beautiful women around me now, it's already hard to manage...
