Chapter 601 - 601: Huo Yuhao’s Revenge Plan

What kind of question would require such strict honesty checks?

Were they trying to extract military secrets from him?

Whatever the case, Dai Hao decided to go along with it stalling for time was crucial to creating a breakout opportunity.

"Fine! I swear upon my Dai family ancestor, Dai Mubai, that I will answer honestly. You may begin your questioning now!" Dai Hao's deep, soul-power-infused voice resounded across the battlefield.

To be honest, he hoped they would ask a lot of questions.

After all, simply answering questions didn't require fighting for his wounded and exhausted soldiers, any extra time to recover soul power and tend to injuries was a blessing.

With that in mind, he subtly gestured to Dai Yueheng behind him.

Dai Yueheng immediately understood. His father was ordering everyone to use this time to recover.

Without hesitation, he stepped away from Dai Hao and spread the message to their soldiers in secret.

Above them, under the starlit sky, Ye Yulin narrowed his gaze, noticing Dai Hao's little tricks.

He scoffed inwardly.

Struggle all you want, Dai Hao. No matter what you do today, you won't escape death.

This entire battlefield had been meticulously arranged.

The Sun-Moon Empire's Grand Marshal and the Lord of the Spirit Pagoda would never let such a perfect opportunity slip away.

Every soldier present had been handpicked each one was fiercely loyal to Huo Yuhao.

After all, no one ever said that the Sun-Moon Soul Engineer Legions couldn't join the Spirit Pagoda and sign an unbreakable loyalty contract.

At this point, the elite forces of the Sun-Moon Empire were not truly the Emperor's army they were Huo Yuhao's army.

If Ye Yulin had to choose, he would rather see Huo Yuhao become the Sun-Moon Emperor.

Loyalty follows benefit.

No matter what, Huo Yuhao was Kong Lao's grand-disciple and had always sided with the soul engineers.

He had achieved countless miracles, bringing immense benefits to the empire.

Ye Yulin pushed aside his stray thoughts, looked at Dai Hao, and smiled.

"I won't be the one asking you questions. There's someone else."

He stepped aside, and the heavily armed soul engineers parted, clearing a path in the air.

Two black-robed figures hovered at the center of the Soul Engineer Legion.

One of them glided forward, stopping at a certain distance.

Dai Hao immediately noticed how the surrounding soul engineers looked at this figure with respect.

No, some of them even had fanatic admiration in their eyes.

That kind of devotion…

He had only seen it before on devout believers worshipping gods.

A sense of unease crept into his heart as he gripped the hilt of his sword, unsure why, but he felt an inexplicable tension building inside him.

Huo Yuhao, dressed in black robes, had become the center of attention.

He stared at Dai Hao, then quietly sent a spiritual message to Electrolux in the Necromantic Subspace:

"Teacher, my revenge begins now. Let my mother witness everything."

The so-called "offer" from Ye Yulin was Huo Yuhao's idea from the very start.

Killing Dai Hao was easy.

But if his biological mother, Huo Yun'er, remained trapped in Dai Hao's romantic illusion, that would be unacceptable.

He wouldn't allow her to waste her afterlife mourning a worthless man.

He could already imagine how ridiculous it would be if Dai Hao died, yet Huo Yun'er still wrote some tragic memoirs about her "lost love".

No.

She needed to see the truth to finally let go.

When he first read the original story, Huo Yuhao had found it utterly ridiculous that after acknowledging his father, his mother happily reunited with Dai Hao in the Divine Realm.

Now that he had the chance to change things, he wouldn't waste it.

In the Necromantic Subspace, Electrolux responded in a calm, gentle voice:

"Very well."

As someone who had once cherished his own family deeply, he had no sympathy for Dai Hao.

A man who failed to protect his wife and son and allowed them to suffer in misery was unworthy of being called a father.

As someone who had once unleashed an undead apocalypse, Electrolux believed that Dai Hao deserved death.

Thus, he fully supported his disciple's decision.

Raising his ancient staff, Electrolux cast a spell.

The air rippled like water, forming a vast mirror suspended in mid-air.

Beside it, the spiritual form of Huo Yun'er suddenly widened her eyes in shock.

"Sir Electrolux, what…?"

She was confused.

Since being rescued from the underworld, she had come to respect Electrolux deeply, seeing him as a wise elder.

Electrolux's expression remained calm.

"Look at the mirror, Huo Yun'er."

She hesitated for a moment but then focused her gaze on the mirror's reflected scene.

Then, she saw him.

Her expression froze.

"Hao-ge…?"

The moment she recognized Dai Hao, her voice trembled.

Though years had passed, powerful soul masters aged slowly.

Even after so long, she recognized him instantly.

Dai Hao's armor was soaked in blood, his face was pale with exhaustion, and he was surrounded by hostile troops.

His situation looked dire.

Huo Yun'er's heart tightened with anxiety.

Her face paled.

"Sir Electrolux! He's injured! Please, help him!"

Her voice was filled with desperation.

Electrolux sighed internally.

She still can't let go…

But he did not blame her.

Love especially blind love had a way of clouding judgment.

Even he, in his past life, had once been deceived by love, leading to the massacre of his family.

If he simply let her continue in ignorance, she would likely cling to Dai Hao's memory forever.

Thus, the truth must be revealed.

Shaking his head, Electrolux spoke firmly:

"I will not save him."

"But… but why?!"

Tears welled in her ghostly eyes.

"He's my "

Electrolux cut her off sharply.

"Huo Yun'er, be silent. Just watch."

His voice was stern.

"Listen to what Dai Hao is about to say.

When this is over, you will finally understand who he truly is and why you have been a fool to love him."

His true face…?

Huo Yun'er hesitated, her mind spinning.

To her, Dai Hao was a man of integrity, someone who was true to his word.

Sure, she and Huo Yuhao had been mistreated in the White Tiger Mansion, but in her heart, the villain was always the Duchess not Dai Hao.

But now, Electrolux's certainty shook her.

She turned her gaze back to the mirror and waited.
