Chapter 846: Chapter 197 The Duchess's Request_1

"Elder Kong, I certainly wish to solve these problems, but as you have seen, resources are limited."

"There's no money, no people, no materials... This Human-shaped Soul Tool, pieced together through a myriad of low-level Arrays, is already my limit," Qin Xiao admitted with a look of helplessness.

He continued to pour out his woes to Kong Deming without stopping.

In his view, this was like an enormous injustice forced upon him.

He had to seize this opportunity and fleece him thoroughly.

"What? So these are the problems you're faced with?"

Kong Deming was taken aback, his face filled with surprise and emotion.

Are these even problems?

To others, perhaps, but to him they were virtually insignificant.

"These aren't problems at all. Tomorrow, I'll arrange for people and materials to assist you," Kong Deming declared with a generous sweep of his hand, "No matter what, we must bring this Human-shaped Soul Tool to its optimal state."

His words were absolute.

"It's possible, of course, but there's no need to come here. I can distribute the blueprints to you, and then Elder Kong can have someone take care of it," Qin Xiao suggested, causing Kong Deming to feel surprised once again.

For a Soul Master, the core blueprints are crucial.

Many Soul Masters have their own signature soul tools they do not wish to share publicly.

Not to mention others.

Kong Deming and Xuan Ziwen were no different in this regard.

This was the foundation upon which a Soul Master established their livelihood.

In his opinion, this Human-shaped Soul Tool was of paramount importance; it was the basis for Qin Xiao's potential status in the Sun-Moon Empire in the future.

But it seemed Qin Xiao had no intention of keeping it hidden?

This was almost unbelievable.

"You're actually willing to share this core secret with me?" Kong Deming was astonished.

"What's the big deal? Besides, this Human-shaped Soul Tool is just a prototype. It doesn't matter to me," Qin Xiao stated confidently.

"Further, creating this Human-shaped Soul Tool is not my limit. As long as I keep striving, I'm certain I can craft even more potent soul tools in the future."

Of course.

Only he knew that these were empty promises.

That would be enough.

After reaching Soul Saint Level, he would hardly bother with such trifling matters.

Fusion God Position.

That was the true and most important path.

Moreover, inside his body rested a damaged super divine weapon.

Repairing that artifact would be far more meaningful and valuable than creating any soul tool.

"Very good, very good, truly a genius youth. Young people should be full of vigor, right?"

Seeing this, Kong Deming was overjoyed.

His eyes and words unabashedly conveyed his admiration for Qin Xiao.

This kid was too outstanding.

Setting everything else aside, just the breadth of his mind alone was already beyond what ordinary people could match.

Completely transcendent!

Truly transcendent, above the concerns of the mortal world.

"No wonder Brother Qin could achieve such great success on the path of soul tools. My vision and breadth of mind are far inferior to yours."

"Perhaps only with such a mindset can one make rapid advances on the path of soul tools."

"Brother Qin, I do not flatter you with empty words, I feel in my life I am unlikely to match you. Your future accomplishments will surely far surpass my own," Xuan Ziwen said, shaking his head with a sigh, feeling inferior.

This?

Qin Xiao felt somewhat embarrassed in his heart.

Only he knew that the truth was not quite like that.

I'm just boasting to create a persona for myself, yet you all take it seriously...

But that's unimportant.

As long as everyone agrees, it will be more favorable for my future development.

"Elder Kong, these are the blueprints I used to make the Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device. Take a look. Then distribute them to the right people, and I'll just wait to reap the benefits," Qin Xiao said.

At this moment, Qin Xiao took out a thick stack of papers and placed it on the experimental table beside him.

From the core components down to a single screw, everything was included.

"Rest assured, I will arrange for someone to make it for you as soon as possible," Kong Deming said, his expression somewhat excited.

He could hardly imagine how powerful the soul tool would be once it was made.

...

Elsewhere.

Outside the Star Luo Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, you must give me justice," a voice pleads.

"Your Majesty, please see me!" another voice begs.

"Your Majesty, my husband died a wrongful death," yet another voice laments.

The Duchess knelt outside the imperial palace, crying and pleading incessantly.

After careful consideration,

she realized she had no way to take revenge on Qin Xiao.

After all,

without Duke Bai Hu, the Duchy Residence lacked strength, manpower, and status.

With what could she seek revenge?

She felt extremely helpless.

After much deliberation, she thought she could only ask the emperor to act.

However, she had already sent someone to request an audience, but His Majesty the Emperor had not responded at all, which made her heart grow cold.

Out of desperation,

she resorted to the tactics of crying, causing a scene, and threatening to hang herself.

It had to be said that it was somewhat effective.

Outside the imperial palace, there were quite a few people who stopped to watch.

They were just commoners after all.

What did they have to fear?

Having nothing but their heads to lose, watching the drama of the nobles was a treat in itself.

"Mother, we should go back. I think His Majesty does not wish to see us right now; otherwise, he would have summoned us by now," Dai Yueheng said quietly, urging her while wearing a white cloth over his head.

"That won't do!" the Duchess firmly shook her head. "Today, I must see His Majesty the Emperor, and no one can stop me. Moreover, are we someone His Majesty can dismiss as he pleases?"

She knew that Xu Jiawei wanted to avoid the situation.

But she could not allow it.

Because she knew that once the current attention faded, they would never have another chance to plead with the emperor.

"But... this is not befitting of the dignity of the Duchy Residence," Dai Yueheng said with hesitation.

"Do you think I want to do this? I have no choice," the Duchess sighed. "Yue Heng, you are young and don't understand the situation. Our Duchy Residence is no longer what it used to be."

"Your brother is dead, your father is dead. And now you have become a cripple.

We don't have anyone capable of shouldering the burden anymore; it won't be long before we lose everything we have now."

Upon hearing this, Dai Yueheng's body shook violently.

He knew the Duchess was right.

Such was reality.

Among the nobles, was there ever any real affection?

It was all about interests.

Not to mention, for the sake of contending for the throne, siblings could turn on each other, and a son might even kill his own father.

What was so special about their Duchy?

Once they lost their value, they could be kicked aside at any time.

"Think about it, who will care about our life and death then? So we must do something before we completely lose our power!" the Duchess said through clenched teeth: "I have had enough of the glory and riches over the years.

Now, all I want is for that despicable Huo Yuhao to die!"


Chapter 847: Chapter 198 The Retaliation of the Xingluo Empire_1

"Duchess, Young Master Dai, His Majesty has agreed to see you."

After a long while, a warrior clad in Golden Armor approached the Duchess and Dai Yue Heng.

He spoke with an authoritative tone.

The Duchess slightly furrowed her brows.

She recognized this person.

She had seen him several times in the imperial palace, one of the emperor's close guards.

But in the past, whenever he saw her, the Golden Armor Warrior would always display a fawning smile.

Calling her 'Duke this' and 'Duke that,' praising the Duke's awe-inspiring presence.

Yet now, that warm eagerness of bygone days was nowhere to be seen.

When one's status falls, they're treated as nothing; when a person dies, they're like a snuffed-out lamp.

The Duchess sighed inwardly.

But there was nothing she could do.

She suspected this man might very well be a Titled Douluo Level powerhouse.

The morals of the world are declining.

Her family could not afford to provoke him now.

"Then, please lead the way, sir."

The Duchess replied in a somber voice.

"Follow me."

The Golden Armor Warrior nodded nonchalantly.

Then he turned and strode ahead.

His manner didn't change one bit, showing no particular consideration for the fact that the Duchess was a woman.

Luckily, the Duchess had some strength of her own, and she was just able to keep up.

Having gone through this experience, Dai Yue Heng's fists were clenched tightly; in his heart, he had secretly sworn to avenge this affront someday.

"We've arrived. Duchess, Young Master Dai, please enter, His Majesty is waiting for you inside."

After speaking, the Golden Armor Warrior took his stand outside the grand hall.

The Duchess and Dai Yue Heng exchanged a glance, then entered one after the other.

Indeed, atop the throne in the vast hall sat Xu Jiawei.

His expression was calm, with no hint of joy or sorrow, quietly watching the mother and son as they entered the hall.

"Your Majesty, please see justice done for this widow," the Duchess implored as soon as she entered the hall and immediately knelt down.

Crying, causing a scene, threatening to hang one's self—she had only stopped short of the latter.

In truth, she and Xu Jiawei were related by blood, and she was by no means a commoner and did not deserve to call herself a 'widow.'

But she wanted to portray herself as utterly pitiable.

To evoke sympathy from others.

"Indeed, not an easy opponent to handle..."

Xu Jiawei's gaze flickered and he said, "There's no need for such formalities, Duchess. Please rise and speak."

"Your Majesty, my husband met with a grave injustice in his death, and his bones are not yet cold. It is said that he died a most tragic death.

Your Majesty, my husband has battled for the Xingluo Empire for many years, keeping those wolf-hearted scoundrels of the Sun-Moon Empire at bay beyond the Ming Dou Mountain Range. He has achieved great merits. You must avenge him."

"If you disagree, I shall kneel here and not rise."

The Duchess was determined to stand her ground against Xu Jiawei.

She did not believe Xu Jiawei would have the heart to drive her away.

Upon hearing her words, Xu Jiawei fell silent.

His expression darkened, and his gaze flickered.

"Your Majesty, it's not just us—your subjects and citizens are also watching. If you turn a deaf ear to this, it would be so disheartening," she continued.

The Duchess added fuel to the fire.

With a long sigh, Xu Jiawei said, "I have already considered this matter. Even if the Duchess did not come today, I had planned to dispatch a powerful individual to round up the person condemned by the Empire."

"Is that so?" The Duchess's eyes lit up with surprise as she looked at Xu Jiawei.

Xu Jiawei nodded slightly, "An emperor does not speak lightly. Dai Yuhao is a citizen of the Xingluo Empire; his act of rising against his superiors and murdering the Empire's meritorious official is disloyal.

Secondly, even if Duke Bai Hu had some flaws, he was still his biological father. Dai Yuhao's rebellious and perverse actions, committing patricide, are unfilial.

Thirdly, killing his kin and brothers is an act of cruelty and injustice.

Such disloyalty and injustice, cruelty and lack of filial piety, how can I allow him to remain at large and unpunished?"

"Your Majesty has spoken well!" The Duchess exclaimed triumphantly. "Such a person must not be spared, and this individual's talent and quick growth rate suggests that if he is allowed to develop further, he will inevitably become a huge threat in the future.

After all, he holds no allegiance to the Xingluo Empire and will only regard us as enemies. Once he grows stronger, he will inevitably seek frenzied revenge against us."

Hehe, speaking of acting righteously for the sake of the Empire, if you had genuinely considered the Empire's interests, you should not have gone too far in the first place, forcing such a talent to flee… After listening to the Duchess's words, Xu Jiawei felt no inner turmoil, and even felt like laughing.

Whom could this incident be blamed on at this point?

It was all due to the person who was nothing but contemptible.

If he hadn't been so jealous, crazily oppressing Dai Yuhao and his mother, how could such a grave mistake have occurred?

Duke Bai Hu's fate today is the result of his neglect of the Duchess, as well as his self-destruction.

He has merely reaped what he sowed.

But, despite all the discontent in his heart, it could only translate into a heavy sigh.

It's too late for anything now.

Dai Yuhao has already made his mark in the Sun-Moon Empire; only his eradication will prevent future troubles.

Even knowing that this was cleaning up for Duke Bai Hu's mess, he endured it.

"Your Majesty, that bastard has committed patricide and also shown loyalty to the Sun-Moon Empire. I believe he will be taken even more seriously this time and might even directly step into the inner circles of the Sun-Moon Empire, which could make him difficult to deal with."

White Tiger Duchess warned: "When my husband was alive, he once dispatched an elite squad to deal with Dai Yuhao, led by two Soul Douluo Level Powerhouses, and they failed to secure him. We should not underestimate his strength."

"I have considered the matter you're speaking of." Xu Jiawei nodded slightly, "Therefore, this time I plan to dispatch several powerful individuals.

Xuanyu Douluo, Blood Fiend Douluo, and Herculean Douluo will go together to the Sun-Moon Empire. I don't believe that, with the power of these three, they cannot take down a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old boy!"

Dispatching three Titled Douluo Level Powerhouses at once speaks volumes of Xu Jiawei's determination.

"Very good, very good."

The Duchess was even more thrilled upon hearing this. These Titled Douluo were veteran powerhouses, and deploying three at once was indeed a significant show of force.

After all, the Ming Dou Mountain Range only had one or two Titled Douluo.

"This time I'll see if you can still escape death!"

Dai Yueheng clenched his fists excitedly.

He believed that this time, Dai Yuhao would be undoubtedly doomed.

"Your Majesty, when will the three Titled Douluo set out?"

the Duchess asked again.

She wished they could set off for the Sun-Moon Empire right now.

Xu Jiawei hesitated for a moment before replying, "Tomorrow, perhaps. Once you leave, I will arrange for the three of them to enter the palace."

Upon hearing this, the Duchess was momentarily taken aback before quickly saying, "Your Majesty, then let us leave now, and please hurry to summon them to the palace, and they can depart."

...

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

At the Sun-Moon Imperial Soul Guidance Academy.

Outside the laboratory.

"I would like to see who's so brave to have achieved what I couldn't!"

As the voice echoed, a burly man barged in.

Qin Xiao slightly frowned.

Kong Deming also said irritably, "Ye Yulin, don't you know to knock before entering? What do you think this is, a city gate?"
