…
The sky was slightly white and cloudless. Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City.
Chirp! A bird with white feathers and a red beak fluttered its wings and penetrated the clouds, swooping down. Crossing the thick city wall, he landed gently on the tallest tower in the city.
There are clusters of buildings in the city with different towers. Fifty miles northwest of the city, there is a luxurious mansion with an area of more than three thousand acres.
That is the Star Luo Empire, the residence of Duke White Tiger - Dai Hao.
At this time, the servants and maids in the mansion were busy going up and down, and a thin figure walked past the servant carrying a wooden basin.
The wooden basin contained several worn-out clothes. It was originally blue, but the color may have faded due to years of cleaning.
"Mom, it won't be long before I can break through the tenth level, and then go hunt for soul rings." His young hands were scrubbing the clothes, but the boy's mind was not on washing the clothes.
The boy looked to be eleven or twelve years old, with a well-proportioned figure and wearing a clean blue cloth.
The boy is Huo Yuhao in the original work. He has not yet broken through level ten, has not left the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, and has not changed his surname from Dai to Huo, so he should be called Dai Yuhao.
Dai Yuhao had a hunch that he would be able to break through within a month at the latest!
"Have you heard? The Dou Ling Empire and the Sun and Moon Empire are fighting again!"
"When did this happen?"
“Just two days ago, I heard it from my distant cousin.
Half a month ago, the Sun and Moon Empire sent their most elite Xinghui Army southward to the Xuanling Pass of the Dou Ling Empire. "
Just as Dai Yuhao was recalling every moment of his time with his mother, two maids came to the well carrying clothes to be washed.
Dai Yuhao's thoughts were interrupted by the two of them, and he shook his head. The young man stopped thinking wildly, and he did not care about the content of the conversation between the two.
He is still young and not interested in such things as national politics. Now he just wants to finish washing his clothes quickly and then go back to practice.
Suddenly, the maid who spoke noticed Dai Yuhao beside her and said in surprise, "Young Master! Why are you here? Do you want to wash your clothes? Put your clothes here and I will wash them for you."
"No need..." Before Dai Yuhao could refuse, the older maid who came with the girl had already stopped the girl.
"Xiao Cui, have you forgotten what I told you? You must remember that in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, there are only the eldest son and the second son, and there is no young master!"
"But..." The girl heard the words of the older maid and looked at Dai Yuhao, who was getting pale. She couldn't bear it.
But before she could finish her words, the older maid interrupted her and continued, "Xiao Cui, you have just arrived, and you don't know many things going on in the Duke's Mansion, so listen to my sister.
If you still want to stay here, stay away from this guy. "
After saying that, the older maid picked up the wooden basin on the ground, then took Xiaocui and left.
"Mom, Yuhao misses you so much!" Looking at the leaving figure, Dai Yuhao felt that Xiao Cui was like his mother.
The figure went farther and farther, and the back gradually became blurry. I don't know whether it was blurry because of the distance, or because of the tears in the young man's eyes.
Huo Yuhao felt aggrieved. He didn't know what he had done wrong.
After a while, the young man calmed down, looked up at the white clouds in the sky, and said in a deep voice, "Mom, your spirit in heaven is watching. One day, Yuhao will make those who hurt you pay the price!
I will let them know what a wrong decision it is to bully you and bully me! "
After saying that, the young man stopped thinking about anything else and quickly washed his clothes. Then he picked up the wooden basin and walked towards home.
Returning to the shabby home, the boy first put the washed clothes on the small tree outside the room.
Then he returned to the room, wiped the tattered small wooden table, then sat on the bed and started practicing.
It wasn't until noon that the young man stopped practicing. Then he got up, picked up two bowls and went to make rice.
He went to the kitchen in the servant area. Although the food there was not very good, it was at least enough.
Dai Yuhao made a bowl of porridge, took two steamed buns, and a bowl of cabbage stewed with tofu, and then ran back to his home.
"I will leave when I have a breakthrough. Then I can catch fish and eat grilled fish. There are also candied haws outside, so I will eat a bunch. It doesn't cost much.
I believe that my mother’s spirit in heaven would not want to see me living such a difficult life. I want to eat well, drink well, and practice hard! "
Although Dai Yuhao is not picky about food, he will always get tired of eating steamed buns and porridge for a long time.
In the past, every month, he would find time to go out to catch fish and then grill the fish to eat. But since he felt that he had broken through the bottleneck, he has not left the Duke's Palace for two months.
When Dai Yuhao thought of grilled fish and ate the steamed bun in his hand, he felt that it was not that unpalatable.
…
On the other side is the Douling Empire, Yanmo City in Qingwu Province in the northern territory. A motorcade passed by not far from the city.
Looking at the city in the distance, Lin Meng rode a horse to Zi Chenxiang's side.
"Senior sister, now that we have arrived in Qingwu Province, you no longer need to worry about our safety.
I don’t know what the situation is at Xuanling Pass now. Can you take the first step and rush to Xuanling Pass. "
Zi Chenxiang next to him nodded and said, "Okay, then please pay attention to your safety."
It's a hundred miles away, and with Zi Chenxiang's strength, he can arrive there in just a few hours. After watching Zi Chenxiang's figure disappear into the sky, Lin Meng withdrew his gaze.
From the beginning of the battle to now, in just a few hours, half of the Xinghui Army has died, which shows how fierce the battle at Xuanling Pass is.
Although Lin Meng was very confident in Yi Meng's strength, to be on the safe side, Lin Meng thought it would be better to let Zi Chenxiang rush over first to take a look.
As for how Lin Meng knew when the battle started and how far the battle was going?
This is naturally due to the progress prompts on the system tasks.
[Xuanling Pass Guard Battle]: Progress - 50000/50000, resist the Sun and Moon Empire army, guard Xuan Ling Pass, kill at least half of the Sun and Moon Empire army after the war begins.
[Mission Reward]: A ten-thousand-year soul beast mount and a soul saint clone.
Looking at the flashing green light on the mission, Lin Meng did not receive the mission reward.
Both the mount and the clone need to be summoned, and the summoning requires Lin Meng's consciousness to enter the summoning hall.
Lin Meng was in a hurry now, but he didn't have the time. He was just a Soul Saint, not a Titled Douluo, so Lin Meng was not anxious at all.
It's not that Lin Meng has a high vision, but in this situation, summoning the Soul Saint clone is of no use.
After being summoned, I still had to explain their origins to Mother Lin and Zi Chenxiang as before.
Unless absolutely necessary, Lin Meng did not intend to summon the Soul Saint level clone and the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast mount.
