Chapter 416.1. Recruit Tang Dong


    Niu Tian and Tai Tan didnt see him again. Instead, they had Clear Sky Sect disciples escort him out of Clear Sky Castle.


    Huo Yuhao stepped out of Clear Sky Castle and watched itsrge gates close. He took a deep breath and swore to himself that he would have the strength of a Titled Douluo when he returned the next time. It would be best if he could bring Donger back with him at that time!


    He tapped his foot on the ground and leapt down from Clear Sky Peak, just like that. He bounced off the side of the mountain continuously as he rushed down as quickly as he could. He plummeted through the clouds before he extended his flying-type soul tool and activated his soul power, transforming into a ray of flowing light as he disappeared into the distance.


    Back inside Clear Sky Castle


    Niu Tian and Tai Tan watched Huo Yuhao leave as they stood by the window in the highest room in the castle. They wore different expressions on their faces.


    Tai Tan looked a little gloomy. Evidently, he hadnt gotten over the fight he had just had with Huo Yuhao. He muttered under his breath, Life has been hard on this guy! But his mind seems a lot more resilient and resolute thanst time.


    Niu Tians face was full of admiration and appreciation. Yes! It wasnt easy for him to be like that at such an age. Hopefully, he can meet that fellows requirements as quickly as possible. In truth, I cant bear to watch this kid being tortured like this. Donger  oh, I mean our little phoenix  I wonder what shes doing at the moment? Im hoping that they can meet each other outside


    Tai Tan said, That fellow is so cruel. He has quite some skill at torturing people but do you think our sister knows about this?


    Niu Tian chuckled and said, It would be strange if he dared to tell her. However, I can understand what hes feeling. Hes a man, and when the daughter you love most is being stolen by another man, your mood cant be too good.


    Huo Yuhao didnt proceed towards Shrek Academy after he left the Clear Sky Sect. Right now, he was overwhelmed with emotions, and not just because he had received the good news that Donger had recovered. He was also excited because of what he was going to do next.


    He had to stop and rest after every two hours because of the state his body was currently in. He found a small city when night fell and stayed the night in a hotel. He continued on his way when dawn broke the next day.


    He took another four hours before he finally left the Heavenly Soul Empires borders and entered the Star Luo Empires borders. He went straight for the Star Luo Empires capital city, Star Luo City.


    It was midday before Star Luo City was within sight. Huo Yuhao slowed down, descended from the sky andnded on the ground.


    Star Luo City was the Star Luo Empires capital, and their air defenses were very tight and strict. He could run into trouble at any moment within fifty kilometers of Star Luo City, so Huo Yuhaonded on the ground well before that. Furthermore, he didnt have to go into Star Luo City to reach his destination.


    Huo Yuhao found a quiet and isted ce that was devoid of people and removed his flying-type soul tool. He withdrew everything that was rtively eye-catching from his body and ced them into his storage-type soul ring. He turned his ring around so that his Starlight Sapphire was facing his palm. Unless he opened his hand for others to look at, nobody would see the dazzling jewel.


    He removed Shreks uniform and put on some hemp clothes before he took out a series of bottles and cans of paints and cremes.


    Changing his appearance was part of the training he had received during the Ultimate Soldier n. Even though he felt a little unfamiliar with the process as he put on his disguise, his standards were still there.


    It didnt take long to change his appearance to that of an unassuming youth who seemed as typical as could be. He looked very simple and honest, and very modest at the same time. He looked like he was a little over twenty years old, his appearance was the kind that was hard to distinguish in a crowd of people.


    Huo Yuhao inspected his appearance after making himself up and nodded satisfactorily before he began walking towards Star Luo City. However, his destination wasnt Star Luo City.


    He didnt use soul power, so he didnt move that quickly. After about one hour, a bunch of structures entered his vision.


    Huo Yuhao immediately stopped in his tracks when he saw these structures. He clenched his fists slowly and pressed his lips tightly together.


    Where was this? This ce used to be his home! The White Tiger Dukes residence, the ce he had sworn toe back to so that he could avenge his mother. Ever since his mother had passed away, this ce was no longer his home. Instead, this had be a ce where his enemies lived.


    The White Tiger Duke, Dai Yueheng, and Dai Huabins faces swiftly surfaced in his mind. The hatred and vengeance that Huo Yuhao had suppressed deep within his heart instantly erupted like a fountain.


    Im back, mother! Even though Im not strong enough yet, I will be in the future, and I will definitely avenge you for good!


    He picked up his pace as he walked briskly towards the White Tiger Dukes residence. Of course, he wouldnt enter the White Tiger Dukes Mansion. Instead, he proceeded towards a small patch of hills to the side that bordered the White Tiger Dukes residence.


    Huo Yuhao had grown up in this ce, and he was still very familiar with it even though he hadnt been back here for many years.


    He quickly found his destination.


    A tall gravestone appeared in the distance. This gravestone was at least two meters tall, and both wide and spacious. Its surroundings were renovated and ornamented with granite and seemed fine and exquisite. There were even carvings of the Emperor Beast on the gravestones surface, watching over the one interred there.


    There was a grave behind this stone, also constructed from granite.


    Huo Yuhaos eyes grew wet when he saw this gravestone. He took a few quick steps forward, and the writing on the gravestones surface was clearly presented to him.


    The Grave of my Wife, Huo Yun. Dai Haos name was etched below this inscription.


    This was the grave of Huo Yuhaos mother, but it was very different from when he had departed this ce.


    Back then, he was still young and didnt have the means to give his mother a grand burial. He could only use a wooden grave marker that he had carved and sculpted with his own hands, and some loess.


    At this moment, his mothers gravestone had been renovated, but it was still located where it used to be. However, it looked entirely different from before.


    He had not been back here before, and now someone had renovated his mothers grave. Huo Yuhao was a little dazed as he slowly knelt down in front of his mothers gravestone. The roiling hatred and vengeance in his heart subconsciously dampened, but tears surged out uncontrobly as he ced his head down in front of his mothers gravestone and sobbed loudly.


    Mom! Mom, Im back! Im here to see you! Huo Yuhao had been gone for so many years, and this was the first time that he had returned to pay respects to his mother. His heart was full of guilt.


    Huo Yuhao had be increasingly powerful over the years and had worked so hard that he almost didnt rest at all. He didnt even dare to think about his mother, because he was afraid that he wouldnt be able to resist the impulse to avenge her.


    More than eight years had gone by since he had left this ce. Huo Yuhao had transformed from a weak child to a powerful Soul Sage with twin martial souls after eight years, and everything had changed. He finally had the courage toe back and pay his respects to his mother.


    His greatest wish was to avenge his mother, and for the White Tiger Duke, Dai Hao, to kneel in front of his mothers grave and repent.


    His mothers grave had been renovated, and Dai Hao had rebuilt her gravestone and called her his wife.That was always what mom wanted the most!


    But why didnt Dai Hao do that for her all those years ago? He never visited us, and you had to die so violently in the end


    Huo Yuhaos longing and yearning for his mother, and the grief carried deep within his heart surged forth continuously, and manifested as tears that sttered all over his mothers gravestone.


    The pressure that he had to bear in his heart over these days, his longing for Donger, and his guilt towards Qiuer seemed to be released through his bitter sobs as his tears flowed uncontrobly.


    Huo Yuhaoid down on his mothers gravestone and fell asleep at some point, and this nap was exceptionally sound and steady.


    He had a dream he dreamed that his mother was back, and the White Tiger Duke had his hand wrapped around his mothers waist. The White Tiger Duke had a warm and faint smile on his face he softly called out her name, while his mothers expression was full of bliss and happiness as she leaned into the White Tiger Dukes embrace.


    Unfortunately, it was all just a dream. Dawn broke on the second day when Huo Yuhao woke up from his dream, his clothes were wet from morning dew, but he felt as if all his grief and despondency had drained out through his tears.


    Huo Yuhao knelt down in front of his mothers gravestone again and kowtowed nine times solemnly.


    Huo Yuhao lowered his voice and said, Dont worry, mother. I will always remember this hatred, and I will prove to that person that your son is stronger than he is. I can do what he can, and one day, I will return to this ce, the White Tiger Dukes Mansion, rightfully and fairly, and I will tread on every single one of them. I will make everyone repay you with ten times, a hundred times the hurt that they caused you. I will force the White Tiger Duke to wee you back into the White Tiger Dukes Mansion and admit that you are his official wife. I will force him to kneel down before your grave to repent!


    Huo Yuhao took out the offerings that he had prepared after his speech andid them out before his mothers grave, one by one. He kowtowed heavily a few more times before he stood up. He turned away, yet nced at his mothers gravestone because he couldnt bear to leave. He wiped the tears from his face, and his eyes became resolute and determined once more as he strode off into the distance.


    He didnt proceed towards Star Luo City. Instead, he picked up his pace as he traveled west. He ran some distance before unleashing his flying-type soul tool and flying rapidly into the distance.


    After two hours, he stopped at a mid-sized city within the Star Luo empire. He created a new identity for himself and purchased documents for thirty golden soul coins, having a light meal before he resumed his journey.


    Imperial Radiant City was located in the Star Luo Empires northwestern corner and was less than a hundred kilometers away from the Ming Dou Mountain Range. It was less than five hundred kilometers from the Heavenly Soul Empires borders and was one of the Star Luo Empires important strongholds to defend against the Sun Moon Empire. This city was one of the most important cities in charge of resupply for the front line camps.


    There were two reserve legions stationed in this city.


    Reserve legions typically had one and half times the troops that regr legions had, and they went through tough and strict training, just like the regr legions. As soon as the regr legions suffered losses on the frontlines, these reserve legions would muster the soldiers to replenish the regr legions.
