58 Dugu Bo's DeathLiu Hao followed Xue Qinghe out of the Prince's Mansion and headed straight towards Prince Xuexing's Mansion.
On the way, Liu Hao, Ye Yan and Xue Qinghe rode in a carriage together.
From Xue Qinghe's narration, Liu Hao learned that Dugu Bo had mysteriously disappeared during the days since he came back. Dugu Bo was a man of Prince Xuexing. This was a world with soul masters. Having the support of a Titled Douluo was like holding an army in one's hands.
Dugu Bo's disappearance made Prince Xuexing frantically use his abilities to search for Dugu Bo's whereabouts. As a result, today, news came from Prince Xuexing's mansion that Dugu Bo was dead.
Not only the Prince's Palace of Prince Xuexing, but even the Platinum Bishop Salas of the Spirit Hall, who received the news, sent someone to deliver the message and asked Liu Hao to go for an autopsy.
Liu Hao was originally engaged in a career similar to that of a constable, so it was very reasonable for Liu Hao to go to the autopsy. Moreover, Liu Hao was now the guardian of the Spirit Hall, and his status was second only to the bishop. As long as Tiandou City was concerned with the arrest of criminals and the investigation of evidence involving spirit masters, it was all under Liu Hao's jurisdiction.
"Brother Liu Hao, I am not sure yet whether the dead person is Dugu Bo. You will know the truth after you verify his identity." Xue Qinghe said, and then said: "In addition, the Spirit Hall received news from Spirit City today. Congratulations, His Holiness the Pope agreed to your three conditions. He has agreed to your first condition. He agrees to let you follow the Tiandou Empire's team to participate in the finals."
"Oh." Liu Hao responded indifferently.
Participating in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition was not Liu Hao's goal. Liu Hao had the strongest corpse-touching system, and what he cared about was whether he could touch corpses and become more powerful.
Although Liu Hao is still very young, his soul power level is already that of a Soul King.
What is the most important thing for a force?
The answer is talent.
Liu Hao is so outstanding that as long as the request is not excessive and does not harm the interests of Spirit Hall, any wise leader will agree to Liu Hao's proposal.
"My second condition is that Ye Yan must also represent the Spirit Hall and participate in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition with me." Liu Hao looked at Ye Yan who was sitting next to him.
"Me?" Ye Yan looked at Liu Hao in surprise.
"That's right." Liu Hao nodded.
"I am the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire. Brother Liu Hao, you'd better wait until you meet the Platinum Bishop Sarath before you tell these words to Sarath." Xue Qinghe said in a light tone.
"Brother Xue, since I am working under you according to the previous rules, you are also half my boss. I will tell you these things naturally. Ye Yan's martial soul is the fire lotus, and his soul power level has reached more than 40 levels. He has obtained four soul rings. The configuration of the soul rings is also standard. He is not more than 25 years old, and he can fully represent the Wuhun Hall Academy to participate in this competition." Liu Hao smiled. His deep eyes have seen through Xue Qinghe's disguise.
"Okay." Xue Qinghe said helplessly.
The predecessor of the Spirit Hall was the Spirit Master Association, which was an unofficial organization like the Blacksmith Association.
At that time, the Soul Master Association was committed to handling matters related to soul masters. Therefore, there were related positions among the imperial dignitaries. As the Spirit Hall gradually became stronger, most of these positions have been abolished. Only a few of them exist symbolically. Liu Hao, as a member of the Spirit Hall, handled matters related to soul masters beside Xue Qinghe for this reason. It is considered a tradition.
"Thank you, Liu Hao." Ye Yan looked at Liu Hao gratefully.
"You and I have been childhood friends, so there is no need to thank me." Liu Hao said with a smile.
"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition is second only to the Spirit Hall's Elite Soul Master Selection Competition in terms of value. This is the best platform for us soul masters to demonstrate our own value. If you can stand out in the competition, your future career will be smooth sailing. Thank you, Liu Hao." Ye Yan said gratefully.
"I've already said it, we are brothers." Liu Hao said with a smile.
As they were talking, they arrived at Prince Xuexing's palace. With Xue Qinghe present, Liu Hao and Ye Yan entered the palace without any obstruction.
In the outer hall of the Prince's Palace, there was a stretcher with a burnt body on it. The body was burnt black and the face was blurred, making it impossible to identify his true identity. A strange smell of barbecue filled the entire outer hall.
Liu Hao had just greeted Platinum Bishop Salas when a girl walked in from outside.
The girl looked painful, fearful and timid, and a young man with a resolute face followed her.
The girl wanted to turn around and leave many times, but the boy encouraged her many times and constantly comforted her mind.
Dugu Yan!
Yu Tianheng!
This man and woman are Dugu Bo's granddaughter Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng, the candidate for the next leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan.
Dugu Yan looked at the corpse in the hall for a long time. He looked at Liu Hao and asked, "Liu Hao, tell me quickly, this is not my grandfather. My grandfather is a Titled Douluo, how could he die so easily?"
"Yanyan."
Liu Hao sighed, looked down at the charred body on the ground, squatted down, and took out the black jade pendant that was exposed on the body. He took it off with force, wiped it twice, looked at the jade pendant, and said sadly: "I also want to tell you that this is not the old poison. But..."
Liu Hao couldn't continue talking. Although he had only known Dugu Bo for a short time, he had already accepted Dugu Bo in his heart and regarded Dugu Bo as a friend.
Liu Hao stood up and handed the jade pendant to Dugu Yan.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Dugu Bo took the jade pendant, his eyes widened. His hands trembled, he looked down at the corpse on the ground, and called out, "Master! Master!"
As soon as the word "grandfather" came out, Dugu Yan couldn't bear such a blow and fainted.
Yu Tianheng was quick to act and quickly hugged Dugu Yan.
Liu Hao checked Dugu Yan and found that she was just hit and fainted. She would wake up after resting for a while. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Looking back at the corpse on the ground, he felt extremely guilty: Old poisoner, did I harm you?
Due to the appearance of Liu Hao, many plots of Douluo Continent have changed. In Liu Hao's mind, it was because of his appearance that the story line was changed and Dugu Bo died tragically.
"Since the people are here, let's do an autopsy. I want to see who killed Senior Dugu. I, Xue Xing, swear here that I will avenge Senior Dugu." Prince Xue Xing glanced at Xue Qinghe and Saras. In his opinion, only Xue Qinghe and the Spirit Hall would want to take Dugu Bo's life.
"Liu Hao, I heard that you are very good at autopsies. This bishop also wants to know who killed Poison Douluo." said Platinum Bishop Salas.
"Okay, Your Excellency the Bishop." Liu Hao nodded.
Liu Hao closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He calmed down his complicated emotions and vowed to seek justice for Dugu Bo, even if the one who killed him was the Spirit Hall.
Liu Hao squatted down and touched Dugu Bo's body. The system's voice immediately sounded.
"Congratulations, you touched a charred corpse and gained 500 points of poison attribute attack power."
Liu Hao was stunned when he heard the system's voice. He murmured in surprise: How could it be so low? A Douluo named Poison only gave me 500 points of poison attribute attack power? Could it be that... the old poison was faking his death?
