Chapter 49: Triggering Turmoil

  Sorry about that, I just lost connection.

  Huo Hai watched with a cold eye, unmoved. Perhaps these people had their own reasons for doing what they did. But no matter how many reasons they had, if they threatened his family, Huo Hai would not let them off.

  Since you've done something like this, you should be prepared to take responsibility for the consequences. "The people behind your backs, I'll investigate myself, don't worry, they won't live much longer, soon they'll go down to accompany you." Huo Hai didn't realize that his own voice was cold enough to freeze. The entire warehouse seemed to have been swept by a chill wind, making everyone's body feel icy cold.

  It wasn't long before even the leader of the mercenaries couldn't bear this suffering. He thought about begging for mercy, or even killing Huo Hai, but his body was completely paralyzed. The starworms were writhing and biting all over his body, causing extreme pain.

  Every muscle and tendon, even the blood vessels, were all bitten off and eaten away. The body suffered severe damage, and the spiritual vein, which was born with the body, naturally dissipated. Without the spiritual vein, even if there is spiritual power, it cannot be displayed. On the contrary, as the spiritual power continues to flow in the body, it becomes less and less, gradually dissipating into nothingness.

  Listening to these people's mournful cries, watching their pitiful appearance, being eaten away bit by bit by insects. Huo Hai's killing intent surged higher and higher. However, the originally rising anger was slowly vented out.

  So, Huo Hai was still relatively calm. After the star pupa transformed, Huo Hai found that these star pupae had increased their intelligence a lot. Therefore, he always let these star pupae keep in touch with him, which was a spiritual connection.

  The star worm kills people, but it's just the master's order. As for eating things, it's just the instinct to eat. The star worm itself is very simple, and towards Hao Hai, there is only admiration and concern. It is this simple emotion that has kept Hao Hai from getting lost all along. Because he knows that there are still some people who care about him, even if they are not human.

  Relying on the powerful effect of the insect spirits, Huo Hai's own spirit was also exceptionally resilient. This killing intent ultimately didn't affect Huo Hai in any way. It seems that before breaking through to the Spiritual Blood realm, these Star Gu were the key to ensuring one wouldn't get lost.

  It was unknown how long it had been, but after the last mournful cry dissipated, everyone completely suffocated. Huo Hai's heart moved, and the speed of the star gu suddenly accelerated, and in an instant, all the corpses were swallowed clean, leaving no bloodstains on the ground.

  Huo Hai took a deep breath, slowly opened his eyes, and the redness in them gradually receded. His anger had been vented, and with the calming of his blood, his killing intent also subsided bit by bit. This time, he finally didn't get lost.

  Huò Hǎi didn't immediately wake up Huò Yún'er, but instead started collecting the explosive spirit stones here. These things are dangerous no matter where they're placed. Besides, this thing might also have some clues. He himself doesn't know, so he'll take it back and ask others; Father should know where to get these things from, or even how to use them.

  Soon, Huo Hai collected all the explosive spirit stones with the help of the Gu insect. At a glance, it scared Huo Hai: "What kind of person has such a big hand, I'm afraid only a few families have this."

  Huo Hai searched and found tens of thousands of spirit stones. This wasn't just a number on a receipt, but actual tens of thousands of spirit stones piled up together, much larger than Huo Hai himself. It looked like a small mountain.

  It's just that many spirit stones, to take out at once, isn't something an ordinary person can do. No need to think about it, processing them into explosive spirit stones will definitely make their value higher than regular spirit stones. Only a few families can achieve this level of skill. The only thing unclear is which family actually made the move against him. This point, Huo Hai cannot casually guess at random.

  Every family is suspicious. Although Huo Hai knew that the He family and his own were the most likely to be involved, this matter could not be concluded in such a way. Because they came for the dark weapon technique, not just the He family wanted to get it.

  Forget it, let's wake up Yun'er first. Huo Hai walked to the side of Huo Yun'er and gently pushed her: "Yun'er, Yun'er, hurry up and wake up." Yun'er didn't move at all, not responding in the slightest. It made sense when you thought about it - those people just now were screaming so loudly, but they couldn't even wake Yun'er up. How could he possibly wake Yun'er up so easily?

  Huo Hai infused his spiritual energy into Huo Yun'er's body, circulating it once, but didn't find anything out of the ordinary. It shouldn't be a case of her body being sealed by spiritual energy either. It seems she was afflicted with something special, and this wasn't something he could resolve on his own.

  It's better to take the person back first. After a quick glance around, Huo Hai soon found a handcart in the warehouse. An ordinary wooden cart, not very big. Walking up to it, he tried it out and nodded his head in satisfaction.

  First, they loaded the spirit stones onto the carriage and spread some straw. These were all found inside this warehouse. Even if it was an abandoned warehouse, there was still something inside. This way, it should be a bit more comfortable, right? Huo Hai himself went up to sit for a while and try it out. After confirming that it was comfortable, he walked over to Yun'er.

  Huo Hai picked up Yun'er and was about to put her in the carriage. At this moment, a box suddenly fell down. Huo Hai narrowed his eyes, turned the box over, and saw that it was a transparent crystal box lid, which could clearly see what was inside.

  "This is, a butterfly, no, what's with these illusions. This butterfly might be useful too." Huo Hai's understanding of insects, this strange transformation, must be extraordinary.

  It's possible that the cloud was also attracted by this thing. A cold light flashed in Huo Hai's eyes, such a strange butterfly is absolutely not something that can be found nearby. It seems that these people have gone to great lengths for their hidden weapons and techniques. Huo Hai calmed down his emotions, but his anger surged up again. He stood up and put the cloud on the pushcart.

  Then, the butterfly was put away, and Xiao Cui was also placed beside Yun'er. With a slight effort, the cart was pushed out of the warehouse. On this side of the warehouse, nothing big had happened.

  In addition, this place had been cleaned up by the He family long ago, so for such a long time, there wasn't even one person around. When Huo Hai pushed out the big cart, it instantly attracted many onlookers. A black-clad man was actually pushing such a large cart on the main street, and there were two people on top of it. This was truly earth-shattering news, and soon the message spread out.

  It's not far from here to the Huo residence, and Huo Hai quickly pushed the cart to the entrance of the house. As expected, as soon as Huo Hai returned, a large group of Huo family guards surrounded him, and even Huo Kai and others rushed out.

  "Clouds, clouds, what's wrong with you, how can this be. What kind of person are you, what is your purpose." A middle-aged man rushed out and shouted loudly. Huo Hai recalled that this person was his second uncle.

  He lifted the hat on his head, and Hao Hai's face appeared: "Second Uncle, it's me. This matter is very complicated, you'll understand if you see this." Hao Hai showed his face, and everyone present was shocked. Wasn't he always in the family? When did he come out? Hao Kai quickly ordered someone to go to Hao Hai's courtyard to see what was going on.

  "Bastard, who did this?" Huo Hai's second uncle, also known as Huo Ran, exploded in anger while looking at the note.

  Huo Kai and the other elders felt strange, walked up to take a look, and their eyes were also filled with anger. It was obvious that these people were targeting Huo Hai, or rather, they were targeting the so-called hidden weapon technique. Unexpectedly, they actually dared to lay hands on Huo Yun'er.

  If it wasn't for Huo Hai rescuing Huo Yun'er, who knows what would have happened. Huo Kai immediately asked: "What about the people who caught Cloud? Did you catch them? Did they confess, whose hand was behind this?" Indeed worthy of being a member of the Huo family, he immediately knew that only an outsider could capture Huo Yun'er without anyone knowing.

  Hu Ke's eyes were filled with cold light. He could have all the people around Hu Yun'er transferred away, and after Hu Yun'er was rescued back, he himself didn't even know that Yun'er had been caught. There must be a traitor within the family, otherwise it would be impossible to achieve this without inside help.

  Huo Hai shook his head: "No, I've taken care of those people. As for the ones behind them, I'll investigate." As he spoke, Huo Hai turned over the straw. At this time, Huo Yun'er and Xiao Cui had already been pulled off the carriage by others.

  "Soul stone? No, no, this is explosive soul stone. How many explosive soul stones are there?" An elder looked at it a few times and his face changed greatly on the spot. So many explosive soul stones, this is not something that ordinary people can take out. I'm afraid only a few other top families may be able to get them. This matter is getting more and more bizarre.

  If handled improperly, it could even lead to a great upheaval in the Western Regions. This large quantity of explosive spirit stones, roughly calculated, is at least several thousand, or even tens of thousands. What kind of person would do such a thing, so ruthless and venomous?

  So many spiritual stones exploding at the same time, this is simply a life-and-death situation for Haohai. If not for Haohai's exceptional skills, I'm afraid that the only two direct descendants of the Hao family would have disappeared by now, and even the Hao family itself might be facing extinction.

  These people are really too ruthless, this is to let the Huo family be exterminated. Not only Huo Kai, but all others who understood the effect of these explosive spirit stones after they were enlightened, their eyes were filled with anger and fear. Although they did not see the rescue of Huo Haiying, the danger was absolutely not small. With a little carelessness, one's whole person would be involved.

  Hu Hai flew into a rage: "All of you, get back! This matter must be thoroughly investigated." Hu Kai turned around and took a glance before turning to leave. The hidden scouts from other families suddenly felt a chill in their hearts.

  The Huo family is going to blow up, this time the Western Territory will probably be in chaos, we must hurry back and inform the high-level members of the family.
