Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 167: Someone Wants to Take Action Against Huo Yuhao?
Besides, she had already lost a child due to Xuan Zi's negligence. When she was feeling depressed, Dai Hao did not come to care for her but went to see a dead person's grave.
Zhao Dashan looked at the Duchess and thought, Wasn't it you who forced Huo Yuhao to go to the Sun Moon Empire?
Otherwise, he couldn't stay in the Star Luo Empire and be oppressed all the time, right? Life will always find its way out.
Of course, he only dared to think these words in his heart and didn't dare to say them aloud in front of the Duchess.
After all, the Duchess had a bad temper. If he said something wrong, he would be punished by her.
He came to get benefits, not to be punished.
The Duchess waved her hand: "Go down. This information is worth a piece of the soul bone of the secret method. Take this token and go to the steward to get your reward."
While speaking, she threw out a token.
Zhao Dashan's face lit up, and he quickly took the token. "Thank you, Madam."
After saying that, he took the token and left quickly.
At this moment, the Duchess looked at the old man beside her and asked, "Zhang Tieshan, if I ask you to assassinate Huo Yuhao now, how sure are you?"
In her opinion, if Huo Yuhao had not exposed the matter related to Huo Yun'er at the Soul Fighting Competition, the relationship between her and Dai Hao would not have become so tense.
All the blame lay with Huo Yun'er and Huo Yuhao, the mother and son.
And with Huo Yuhao's current character, he will come after her in the future.
Instead of letting him grow, it's better to deal with him as soon as possible.
The old man named Zhang Tieshan was stunned, thinking, I'm going to assassinate Huo Yuhao? Duchess, are you kidding?
He is now a genius of the Sun-Moon Empire and will be carefully protected by the Sun-Moon Empire.
Therefore, if one wants to assassinate Huo Yuhao, the only way is to fish in troubled waters.
But the problem is that the situation in Illustrious Virtue Hall is very stable, and there is no opportunity to do so.
Moreover, assassination is generally done by those with strong strength.
He is just a Soul Douluo-level guard, not an Ultimate Douluo.
Protecting the Duchess is fulfilling his duty, but going to the Sun Moon Empire to kill Huo Yuhao seems beyond his scope of duty.
He pondered and said, "Less than 10% chance."
"Less than 10%?" The Duchess looked grim.
Zhang Tieshan began to explain patiently: "Yes. In terms of personal strength, I can crush Huo Yuhao in all aspects because I am a Soul Douluo, much stronger than him.
But I don't have the opportunity to be alone with Huo Yuhao.
If I went to Sun Moon Empire and attacked Huo Yuhao, I would probably be killed by other strong men before I could kill him."
"If you can't do it alone, then go gather some helpers! Remember, no matter what the cost, I want Huo Yuhao dead!"
The Duchess looked a little ferocious.
"Yes, sir." Zhang Tieshan was a little helpless. He was ready to ambush Huo Yuhao in the Sun Moon Empire for a long time.
For the Duchess's matter, Zhang Tieshan immediately flew out of the Duke's Mansion and headed toward a location in Star Luo City.
Star Luo City has a killer organization. Generally speaking, this kind of organization collects money and then helps big shots do dirty work.
The killer organization he is going to this time is called Sun.
Sun is a well-known killer organization. Many nobles have placed orders with this organization to kill their rivals in inheritance battles.
However, Sun does not require gold soul coins as payment.
They only need living soul beasts or some rare metals unique to the Star Luo Empire. This is a bit strange.
Soon, Zhang Tieshan entered an auction house and quickly found the owner.
The owner of the auction house is a fat man. At this moment, he is looking at a map of the Star Luo Empire on the wall, his face extremely serious.
This man is the boss of the Sun Organization, and his external name is Sun One.
"Sun One, I need to summon killers to accompany me to kill someone," Zhang Tieshan said straightforwardly.
Sun One turned around and looked at Zhang Tieshan: "Kill a person? Whose noble illegitimate child do we need to kill?"
"Not an illegitimate child." Zhang Tieshan waved his hand. "It's Huo Yuhao from Sun Moon Empire."
"Oh? Huo Yuhao?" Sun One narrowed his eyes slightly. "It's not cheap to kill him, so, guest, can you afford what we need?"
"Of course, I can," Zhang Tieshan replied in a deep voice. At the same time, eight Soul rings appeared on his body—two yellow, two purple, and four black.
Zhang Tieshan thought that he was not a Soul Engineer, so how could he carry rare metals with him? Moreover, it would take time to mobilize living soul beasts.
So he could only show his strength to boost the persuasiveness of his words.
"Sun One, I'm just an errand boy. The higher-ups hope you can do your best to kill Huo Yuhao. As for what you need, we will provide it." He hinted at having an extraordinary background.
Sun One smiled: "I see. I believe you can give us what we need.
However, we need to investigate the difficulty of assassinating Huo Yuhao first, and then make an assessment.
After seven days, we should be able to complete the investigation and give a quote."
"Okay." Zhang Tieshan nodded and then walked away quickly.
Sun One watched Zhang Tieshan's back disappear, and the smile on his face suddenly faded.
"I didn't expect that someone would want to assassinate Master Huo. It seems I need to check this person's background, then inform Master Huo and let him decide," thought Sun One.
The so-called Sun organization is affiliated with Illustrious Virtue Hall and is considered a subordinate organization. Illustrious Virtue Hall is nominally one of the three major forces on the Douluo Continent, so it's normal for it to have subordinate organizations.
Sun is mainly responsible for collecting rare metals, soul beasts, and intelligence. The identity of the killer organization is just a cover.
Sun One is now also a member of the Spirit Pagoda. He has changed his appearance, so he is naturally not afraid of being identified by outsiders.

Soul Fighting Arena.
Ji Juechen stood in the center of the arena, holding a long sword. He looked at Meng Hongchen and others not far away with a calm expression and asked, "Miss Meng, when will Huo Yuhao come to the fighting arena?"
Today is the day he and Huo Yuhao agreed on. He is looking forward to fighting him.
A smile appeared on Meng Hongchen's face: "Ji Juechen, I hope you can be a little more patient. As far as I know, Junior Yuhao has been busy these days.
Perhaps he is currently busy tackling a soul guidance device, and besides, you only agreed on which day to fight, but you didn't specify what time of day to start the fight."
"Okay, then I'll wait for him here." Ji Juechen was indeed very patient, with no sign of impatience.
After a while, Huo Yuhao's figure appeared in the air, quickly landing on the ground and putting away his flying Soul Guidance Device.
He looked at Ji Juechen not far away: "Ji Juechen, when did you come?"
He was just studying Soul Guidance Devices with Xuan Ziwen, but because he had to fight Ji Juechen today, he studied for a while and then came out of the laboratory.
Ji Juechen looked at Huo Yuhao: "That's not important. Huo Yuhao, the most important thing is for us to fight!"
