"There's something strange!"
A Guardian Douluo said with a grave expression.
His martial soul was quite unique, giving him a much stronger perception of souls than others.
Of course, he wasn't an evil soul master, nor had he ever used this ability for evil purposes.
Otherwise, under the watchful eyes of Shrek Academy, he wouldn't have been able to become a Guardian Douluo of the Star Luo Empire.
"What happened?"
"There are no vengeful spirits here, not a single one!"
In such a large White Tiger Duke's residence, with so many people dead, how could there be no vengeful spirits?
Even if their souls were to dissipate, it would take some time; they couldn't have vanished so quickly.
"An evil soul master has taken their souls!"
There's only one truth: an evil soul master has taken these people's souls, hence there are no vengeful spirits.
"Wait, there are still some clues!"
Another Guardian Douluo picked up a fragment from the ruins, a piece left after the explosion of a fixed soul-guided shell.
"It's just a fragment, what can it prove?"
"It's not just a fragment. As an eight-rank soul engineer, I can tell whose soul-guided shell this is just by the fragments left after the explosion."
The Star Luo Empire has eight-rank soul engineers, and more than one.
Shrek Academy, as the top academy on the continent, doesn't have a proper single eight-rank soul engineer, which shows how little the academy values the development of soul tools.
Xian Ling'er, as the dean of the Soul Tool Department, is only a peak eighth-rank soul engineer, which is quite something...but she doesn't have Soul tools in her heart.
"Oh, whose fixed soul-guided shell is this?"
"Shrek Academy, this is an eighth-rank soul-guided shell produced by Shrek Academy!"
"Evil soul masters and Shrek Academy..."
Everyone frowned. Could Shrek Academy really collude with evil soul masters?
This is obviously impossible. Anyone could collude with evil soul masters, but not Shrek Academy!
As if thinking of something, everyone exchanged glances and nodded.
The next moment, they disappeared, heading towards the imperial palace.
In the Star Luo Imperial Palace, Xu Jiawei was sitting uneasily, waiting.
Today, someone dared to bomb the White Tiger Duke's residence; tomorrow, someone might dare to bomb the imperial palace!
This is Star Luo City, yet the White Tiger Duke's residence was bombed!
Is there no law, no order?
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Lords, no need for formalities. Have you found out the specifics?"
Xu Jiawei quickly waved his hand.
At this time, who cares about formalities?
"Your Majesty, the situation at the scene is as follows..."
The leading Guardian Douluo recounted the situation at the White Tiger Duke's residence, but Xu Jiawei became more and more confused.
Evil soul masters, Shrek Academy?
Interesting, truly interesting!
The White Tiger Duke's residence is Shrek Academy's "loyal dog."
Even when he, the emperor, ordered the empire's nobles to attend the Royal Academy as much as possible, the White Tiger Duke's residence still sent two sons to Shrek Academy.
If Shrek Academy wanted to bomb something, it shouldn't be the White Tiger Duke's residence, but this imperial palace.
Now, with the world war already breaking out, someone is trying to turn the spearhead towards Shrek Academy!
Collaborating with evil soul masters to frame Shrek Academy, forcing the Star Luo Empire to send troops against Shrek Academy.
This scheme is truly vicious!
Should we go with the flow and target Shrek Academy...
Xu Jiawei fell into deep thought.
Sometimes, even if you know the other party is being framed, so what?
In the face of absolute interests, only those who frame you know how wronged you are.
"Your Majesty, sending troops against Shrek Academy is not a good idea at this time!"
No one present is a fool.
Xu Jiawei's silence is just him weighing the pros and cons.
"Lord, why do you say that?"
"Your Majesty, Huo Yuhao is a god's heir, the child of destiny. We must think twice before making an enemy of him!"
"Report..."
Just as Xu Jiawei was about to say something, a messenger ran in.
Everyone exchanged glances but said nothing.
"What is it?"
"Your Majesty, according to the investigation, many servants of the White Tiger Duke's residence did not die. Before the bombing, they were knocked unconscious and sent to a safe place."
"According to the investigation, all these survivors are people who... have no grudge against Huo Yun'er and Huo Yuhao..."
"???"
Things have become even more interesting!
If the White Tiger Duke's residence had been completely wiped out, this matter definitely couldn't be linked to Huo Yuhao.
But with this twist, it seems to have some connection to Huo Yuhao!
"You may leave."
"Yes!"
After the messenger left, Xu Jiawei said to everyone, "Lords, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, we leave it to your decision!"
Everyone bowed to Xu Jiawei.
This is someone deliberately framing Huo Yuhao!
Only those who had a grudge against Huo Yuhao were killed; the innocent were all spared.
As for whether Huo Yuhao did this, none of them thought so!
After all, Huo Yuhao is currently in a decisive battle with the Heavenly Soul and Douling empires; how could he have the time to bomb the White Tiger Duke's residence?
"Secretly execute all those people, define this as an evil soul master framing Shrek Academy!"
"In the explosion at the White Tiger Duke's residence, no one survived!"
After Xu Jiawei said this, the faces of the Titled Douluos showed no fluctuation, as if it were a common occurrence.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
To make them target Huo Yuhao?
Forget it, they don't have the guts!
Six Guardian Douluos were killed just like that.
With just a call, he gained the support of Shrek Academy, the Clear Sky Sect, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect... and other major forces.
Such a person, they dare not offend.
Even if Huo Yuhao did do this, at this critical moment, it couldn't be him!
Evil soul masters stole and used Shrek Academy's eighth-rank soul-guided shells to bomb the White Tiger Duke's residence, leaving no survivors!
When Huo Yuhao learned of this, he was completely baffled.
He had made it so obvious, why did Xu Jiawei and the others come to such a conclusion?
Those who died were the ones who had bullied him and Huo Yun'er; they deserved to die.
But those who shouldn't have died became sacrifices in this political struggle.
Bombing the White Tiger Duke's residence, he had no regrets.
As for those people's deaths, what did it have to do with him?
The White Tiger Duke's residence was destroyed, and they still rushed back to their deaths; who can they blame?
When Huo Yuhao returned to the camp, he was stunned.
He had only been gone for three or four days, yet the camp's population had grown from over a million to three or four million??
Moreover, the Heavenly Soul and Soul Ling empires had been reduced by a third?
How could it be so fast!
The Heavenly Soul and Douling empires are essentially the former Heaven Dou Empire; although their defenses have changed somewhat, they are still connected.
Sensing Huo Yuhao's return, "Huo Yuhao" stopped pretending.
"Little black hair, you're really heartless."
"???"
"Leaving Lady Hua Huo alone in this military camp!"
Huo Yuhao: So that's it.
